Awaiting the light.

Black turns to grey and then violet followed by a hue and finally the sky turns blue.
Left on this blue conundrum, yet to stumble upon a clue.

All these colours adding up to the magic that is this perfection.
Conflicting shades, each one weaving their own mesmerising spells.

Still no dawn of realisation. Still living the petty belief of being a superior race.
Ain't it apparent? Painted on the same canvas, we are all sketches with just another face!

Every pigment, has been brushed off the same palette and yet every figment is an overflowing chalice.
Why discriminate amidst his colours, styles, shades and shapes? When they all magnify the beauty of his landscape.

A monochrome can never match the panache of this melange.
Its pulchritude is only enhanced by the vibrancy of every unique stroke.

May the rays of epiphany break through the dark clouds.
May his mosaic revel in the enlightenment of the new dawn.

Awakening

The life that you lived turns into a dream.
Awakened from this slumber, you walk into reality.


The material becomes immaterial.
The immaterial drifts into eternity.


Death sets you free.


In memories you live on.

The higher truth

You laugh at me and mock my obsession with the goodness of the superheroes, saying how could I be so childish? That I need to grow up! That, religion is the only way for one to look towards. For superheroes are silly and fictitious. For there is nothing higher than Religion. That Religion is the only truth.

But do take a little time and think before you preach Religion to me.There are so many Gods & so many Religions. And all are supposed to be true. I can't go against any of them, or I too will be declared a fool. And where do these Gods exist? In reality? or in fiction of our mentality? Aren't they the Gods of All Worlds? Or of just one single community? Will only a handful of their followers be allowed into paradise while the rest are thrown into the fires of agony? When righteousness, goodness and the correct way of life is what they all impart then why have their teachings not ended the wars of centuries? Blinded by the aura of these Gods we all follow their divine religions. Their heavenly guidelines only seem to have widened the gap between their worldly disciples. Religious sentiments only seem to have led to the murder of humanity. Logic has been thrown into oblivion. Common sense has taken a back seat. And while we are busy fulfilling the expectations of our sacred religions this earth suffers at the hands of its devout ardent followers. The Guardians of Religion have failed humanity. Religion has outshone goodness. Religion has lost to evil. Religion has coalesced with money and power and now reigns supreme. Religion has our society bound in its clutches. We need to be free, to think, to do and to be.

At least in fiction lies a world where a hero rises and becomes a beacon of hope and betterment.
He is born out of our own need to defeat the darkness within.
He is born out of our own need to root out the corruption around us.
He is born out of our own need to set an example the whole world could follow.
He is born out of our own need to fight for justice when our own systems crumble into mere hollow shackles.
He is born out of our own need to fill the gaping void with empathy, selflessness, righteousness and goodness.
He is born out of our own need to reinforce the faith of people in God and his goodness.
He is born out of tragedies, lost all that was dearest to him and taken a vow that no more should any other suffer his fate.
He is born out of miracles that come true not for him alone but for humanity as a whole.
He is born out of the power of the sun that inspires us to give without the expectations of getting anything in return.
He is born out of an undying and relentless force of goodness that will never stop.
He is born out of oneness that sees all faiths, castes, races and colours in one light.

Naive I may be to be fascinated by these superheroes. But, when Money, Power and Religion divide and break the society into blind empty souls, it is the ideology of these superheroes that fills this hole. Theirs is a clearer picture to look up to. Their vision is the ideal pedestal to step up to. From here we can surpass the steep religious boundaries and transcend to the higher morals of the Gods. We are Gods men and it is our responsibility to spread his goodness. What purpose could he have created us for after all. Religion, I believe is not the truth that we must follow, but we must rise above to see the higher truth, we must walk the path of the gods, we must strive to be the mirror image of the Gods, we must spread their goodness, we must bring out the superhero within.

Blessed..

With every step n every click of the clock.
From every sunrise to our little finger entangled moonlit walk.
This bond grows a lil' stronger,
and I hope this journey with you lasts even longer.


The sail so far has been a pleasure with soothing tides and refreshing cool winds.
A voyage that has been filled with many a joys, realisations and learnings.
Your beauty transcends to your soul.
Your light touches deep down to my core.

Your energy is what keeps me going.
You're a contagious livewire, ever sizzling and always dazzling.
You found perfection in my imperfections.
In spite of my infinite short comings you still made me worthy.
I'm happy and blessed more than I could have imagined.
As I put my trust in him, and it's Gods will that has now blossomed.


I have discovered a new me, being with you.
I have grown and promise to strive harder to be better in every way towards you.
Immense respect and love is what I hold for you.
You're beyond words.
Far beyond precious and the material desires of this world.
You're beyond special.
Just like a blessing.
My Zee..


- d occasion being - my first Anniversary :)

Re-birth

U suffer, u crawl, u fall, u lick d dust.

U cry, u plead, u crumble n ur ashes are one wid dusk..

Everything that was your world dies with u.

All d attachments, all d feelings, all d meanings, everything gets buried deep within u.

Pain n torments n d rising emotions scream out so loud.

Dat d loudness begins to seem rather mild. It fades into an eventual silence.

A silence tat gives birth to an eternal numbness.

A numbness that shadows over ur fears n worries n transforms into an innate strength
that you never knew existed.

D darkness doesn't seem so dark anymore. 

D loneliness doesn't creep u out no more.

U fear nothing.. 

There's nothing left to lose.

U only live for wat matters most.

Ur every breath makes you want it even more than b4.

Ur vision is clearer.. 

Focused. 

n 

Intense..

D only escape from the bottom of this pit is

UP.

D only direction ur left wid is 

ASCENSION.

hope

If change is the only constant,
we could always find a new way..


If we just held on to our faith,
We would see the light of a better day..


If we saw this world with a new perspective,
This life would be even more addictive..


Always keep the flames of hope alive,
Cause, as hard as it may seem,
That even in deserts, there exists life :)

SHAAYARI :)

1.

समझे ना वो उलफतों को मेरी
बस मुह मोड़ कर रूठ गए,,

 

जो कुछ किया था हमने ऊनके लिए 

बस एक पल में ही भूल गए! 

2.

सब कुछ हैं, पर सब अधमरा सा हैं 

भरा हुआ घर भी खाली खाली सा हैं,,

जब से गए हो तुम,
बिरयानी का स्वाद भी फीकी दाल जैसा हैं।

3. 

ज़हन नसीब मेरे जनाब 

जो आप इस कब्रिस्तान पर आए,

महक उठे मुर्दे यहा के,

जैसे गुलिस्तान में फूल खिल आए!   

सूनी - सूनी सी हैं - ||

दुनिया, तो लागे हैं सपना
जिसमे, तू ही हैं अपना

बहती हैं हवा, सोचु जीवन ये क्या?
समझ पाऊ ना कुछ भी तेरे बिना

सिर्फ तेरी बातें है, लुभाती दिल मेरा
मुस्कुराती है जब तू तो मुस्कुराती दुनिया

हर मौसम में बारिश है जबसे मिली हैं तू
फिर भी हूँ सूखा सा मैं, बस तेरे लिए तरसू,,

छा-के काले बादल सी, तू मुझ पे बरस जा ज़रा,
बन के बारिश की बूँदें, तू इस प्यासे की प्यास बुझा!!

सूनी - सूनी सी हैं
भीगी - भीगी सी हैं
ये सारी - सारी  रातें

जुडी - मुड़ी सी हैं
सिलगी - बुझी सी हैं
तेरे - मेरे दिलों की तारें


आओ,
मिल - जाओ

लग जाओ गले


आओ,
खो - जाओ

हो जाए हम एक ..

not the same..

We're similar but not the same,
It's the thoughts that match and the feelings that prevail..
It's the hearts that connect but the minds that pull away..
Yes we're similar but yet not the same.

We're quite different but not that diverse,
We want the same things from life, but we have our own ways..
Our paths may seem to have intertwined, but our journeys lead us on separate lanes..
Yes we're similar but yet not the same.

You touch my heart in  more than many ways,
You seem to be my reflection, but only till the water stays still, till there's no movement in the lake..
Not everything about you excites me, but something within you instills life within me again..
Yes we're similar but yet not the same.

You're not a part of my daily chores,
You're no where around in this commotion that soars..
But I yet look up to you to guide me, cuz your light yet shines, so what even if you're a  million miles away..

Now I seem to have realised, just cuz we seemed so similar, we really didn't need to be together 
Our roles in each others lives were for a purpose of growth.
And the lessons have been learnt.
So we'll go on from here a lil wiser n may be a lil sore
The sun may light up your world,
but it's the moon light that actually caresses through my soul..

And even though we're quite similar, we're still not the same...

सूनी - सूनी सी हैं

सूनी - सूनी सी हैं

रिम - झिम,  बरसे ये रैना
कैसे, कहू जो हैं केहना?

झूमें रे मन मेरा, भागे रे हर दिशा,
संभल पाऊ ना. ये क्या मुझे हुआ?

पास तू इतना, फिर भी तू क्यु जुदा?
आँखें बंद कर लू, पा-लू तुझे सदा.......


खोया - खोया रहू, लागे ना दिल मेरा
तेरे संघ ही ग़ाऊ हर इक गीत नया 

ख़्वाबों में तो मिलता हू, रोज़ ही हैं दीदार तेरा ,
पर इन बाहों को तो हैं इंतज़ार तेरा

सूनी - सूनी सी हैं
भीगी - भीगी सी हैं
ये सारी - सारी  रातें

जुडी - मुड़ी सी हैं
सिलगी - बुझी सी हैं
तेरे - मेरे दिलों की तारें

आओ,
मिल - जाओ

लग जाओ गले

आओ,
खो - जाओ

हो जाए हम एक ..
