A Pot Of Gold!

 

And there's a thing about colors:
"They don't discriminate,
Our classification of the colors does!"
~~Shades of Yellow~~
As a kid,
I was always mesmerised by the sight of a rainbow!
A rainbow filled with every hue.
Blending into each other, yet so distinct!
Standing in unison,
Having its own bends and beliefs!
I was one of those kids who always thought, there's a pot of gold at the point of origin of the rainbow!
And this is one of the many things that kept me intact to my beliefs till the date! "My share of yellow treat!"
.
So here goes my 4 a.m conflicts! .
Mind-"They say there's a pot of gold within each one of us but for claiming it, we must forget the buy commotion in our mind!" Heart-O Really, is that true?
Maybe or maybe not!
But, how am I supposed to believe that,
Especially at this time,
When everything seems to fall apart?
Mind-Maybe there's still a pot of gold waiting for us, on the other side of the rainbow!
..
(This craze for gold has always kept me intact to my inclination towards "yellow!"
Yes, yellow!
And why won't it be!"Somewhere out there is a yellow umbrella for everyone! You just be patient"- Ted Mosby!)
..
Heart-Aren't you risking too much for now, finding that unknown? What if you've already missed your shot? Ahaan, trusting people brain?
Mind-Stop it, you dull piece of matter! There's a pot of gold waiting for me!
..
"Really?"
And this never-ending conflict continues!
..
Amidst all these conflicts and crisis,
I have learnt two things:
Firstly, You can't reciprocate the role of heart and mind, Metaphorically!
Like imagine your brain trying to trust people and your heart trying to do the thinking part!
And Secondly, there are shades of yellow!
These are nothing but the epitome of "Hope"!
Hope that resides within each of us!
Hope to see the prosperous tomorrow or maybe the day after that!
Hope to show devotion as the sun does!
Hope to celebrate the golden harvest that blooms every spring!
Hope to be as loyal as a sunflower that follows every moment of the sun!
..
Someday on the other side of rainbow, where shades of yellow are more prominent and life's less chaotic,
Hope to find my yellow treat- A pot of gold!

बस पानी की तरह बहना ही तो है।

"बस पानी की तरह बहना ही तो है।" . . समय का चक्रव्यूह तो देखो, कभी इनसे दरियादिली तो सीखो, जो सव्यं कभी परवचन देते थे, मानों भीतर से खोखले हो गए हैं सब। . . क्या कहना इस अकेलेपन के बारे में? माना भीड़ का भाग हो तुम, पर इसी भीड़ में कहीं खो से गए हो तुम। इस बंजर बस्ती की प्रज्वाला से मानों, 'संस्कार' कहीँ लुप्त हो गए हो तुम! . . लिखते हैं आज साधू राम, तुम्हारी हस्ती कितनी हसीन है! खामोशियों की इस लड़ाई में, मानो भुजाएँ सब सिमटी हुई है। . . लिखते हैं आज, गौर से सोचना ज़रा, . . कौन तेरे कौन मेरे? फितरत में ही खोट सुनहरे, दो घूट मन के अंदर, चार अलफ़ाज़ मन के बाहर, कह रहे थे बस पानी की तरह बहना ही तो है! . . समय का चक्रव्यूह तो देखो, अब न इनसे कोई दरियादिली सीखे, जो सव्यं कभी परवचन देते थे, मानों भीतर से खोखले हो गए हैं सब। . बस पानी की तरह बहना ही तो है, किसी किश्ती को सहारा ही तो देना है! मेरी नहीं तो क्या हुआ, किसी और की सही! खोखले हो तो क्या हुआ? खोट तो हम में भी हैं! . मन में कहीँं प्यार नहीं तो क्या हुआ? कम से कम तकरार के रूप में ह...

"Bruises of Love"

Covered in the thread of dark colored clothes,  I could see a smile on her face!  Her make-up was minimal,  Hairstyle on point! A not so common shade of nude lipstick,  Complimented black Kohl in her eyes! ... A galaxy of intellectuals have gathered to mark her existence,  And just like others even I was stunned looking at her innocent face!  I don't know what was written in her faith,  But it would have been certainly better if I wasn't there at that place. ... Yes, Yes, I'm aware,  I've compared certainty with faith here,  but there are things that outlaws the idea of right doing or wrong doing and all we have is that particular state!  This was one of those peculiar moments;  It's not like this was my " first-time " But with her, yes it was!  She pointed at me and winked,  and signalled me to follow her.  I hesitated for...

Art of Judging People V/S Fear of Getting Judged

Do you ever stop yourself from doing something just because of “ log kya kahenge ”? I do! In fact, I’ve judged myself more than anyone else ever has. There are days when we judge others, but the harshest judgment often comes from within. My own vision shackled me with invisible chains.  A constant fear that kept me from being myself: Fear of dancing in public. Fear of getting clicked (what if I look old, not good enough?). Fear of wasting potential, of not living up to “standards.” The Weight of Opinions Over time, these fears weren’t even mine. They were borrowed from the world around me: Too much affection in public? "Wrong. Don't do it!" Getting drunk? “Good people, don’t do that.” Dating someone? “Weren’t you supposed to make it big, first?" Our society writes invisible rules, and we live inside that 10x10 room of opinions. The walls keep closing in, until one day people say, “ Aadmi acha tha, potential bohot tha, bura hua! ” The Circle of Judgement The circle o...
