Pyaar Ho Jaaye...

Guys, enough of apologies every time for not being serious about the blog ! Its exactly SEVENTY days since I last updated my blog. I now remember what one of my teachers used to say during our school days, "Sorry tabhi bola karo, jab tum wo galti fir se naa dohraao... Warna us sorry ka koi matlab nahi reh jaata hai..." That is the reason why I will not apologize this time. Because I know, no matter how much I try, situations and time don't permit me to post regularly on the blog.

Well let me cut the crap. Readers, the credit for this post goes to one of my dear friends Swati, who is an ardent reader of my blog. She was the one who made me aware that its been really very looooooooonnnnnngggg since I have updated Good For Nothin'. May be I just needed a wake up call and may be Swati just did that. :P

And with this wake up call, I bring to you yet another Hindi poem, which I wrote sometime ago. No prize for guessing the theme. Yeah... its love again !

Here it goes:

चले वो क़दम क़दम जो साथ मेरे,

तो उन के साथ  प्यार हो जाए.

थामे जो प्यार से हाथ मेरा,

तो अपने ही हाथ से प्यार हो जाए.

जिस रात आये ख़्वाबों में वो,

उस सुहानी रात से प्यार हो जाए.

जिस बात में आये ज़िक्र उन का,

उसी बात से प्यार हो जाए.

जब पुकारा प्यार से नाम,

तो अपने ही नाम से प्यार हो जाए.

  अगर है प्यार इतना खूबसूरत,

तो काश आप को भी हम से प्यार हो जाए...

Hope you guys liked it ! Once again, thanks a lot to you all for your never ending patience and support.

Anjaani Chaahat

I know I am way too late for this post, but as it is said, Better late, than never ! Here comes a short Hindi poem to touch your souls !

यूँ ही अनजाने में तुझ से चाहत स़ी हो गयी,

दोस्ती करने चले थे और तुझ से मोहब्बत स़ी हो गयी।

तू ना हो तो मैं खुद से ही उलझता हूँ,

क्या करूं, मुझे तेरी आदत सी हो गयी।

मैं अपने वजूद में तुझे तलाश करता हूँ,

मुझे तुम से इस कदर मोहब्बत सी हो गयी।

मेरे पास  आओ, तो जी लूं दो पल  मैं भी,

मेरी तो हर एक  सांस  तेरी अमानत  सी हो गयी।

मैं सोचता था तेरे आगे ज़िन्दगी क्या है,

पर तुझे चाहने के लिए  ज़िन्दगी एक  ज़रुरत  सी हो गयी।

The love I found in YOU.

I know I'm still lagging behind on my promise of posting more frequently. This post comes exactly one week after my last post. Well, as they say, Better late, than never. :)

And in this post, I'm back to what people say I'm best at... P.O.E.T.R.Y.!

Here it is... Dedicated to someone very special... Someone whom I'm yet to find... :P

You are the air I need to breathe,

The river of life inside of me.

You are the half that made me whole,

You are the anchor of my soul.

And you are strong when I am weak,

You are the words when I can't speak.

You never fail to see me through,

That's the love I found in you.

You are my shelter from the storm,

You are the road that leads me home.

Baby with you here face-to-face,

Oh, I know I found my place.

'Cause you are strong when I am weak,

You are the words when I can't speak.

You never fail to see me through,

That's the love I found in you.

Once in every life,

You find the one who's right.

And when you say forever, it's true,

That's the love I found in you.

You are strong when I am weak,

You are the words when I can't speak.

You never fail to see me through,

That's the love I found in you.

That's the love, love I found in YOU.

All I needed...

All I needed 

was time away 

from thinking of you 

every night and day. 

Spending that time 

away from you, 

made me realize 

what I felt for you.

An overwhelming feeling 

that I completely denied, 

a passionate feeling 

that burns inside. 

All I needed 

was time alone 

to realize this feeling 

on my own. 

A feeling beyond 

my greatest fears, 

something that brings more 

than laughter and tears. 

This great sensation 

I can no longer deny. 

No matter the outcome, 

I cannot lie. 

All I needed 

was this time to be true, 

to finally realize 

that I love you.

Destiny

No matter what happens,

No matter where I go.

There's always a special place

in my heart that you hold.

Even when we're far apart,

I trust my destiny. 

One day we'll be together, 

that's what its meant to be. 

You know you're the chosen one.

Although we're apart, 

I'll never stop loving you, 

You'll always have my heart. 

 I always have a hope, 

that some day you will see. 

The only one who loves you like this, 

I hope you know its me....

PS : No apologies for being damn irregular. I guess that's what MBA does to you ! :)

College Days - Full Text

Ahhh !! Back from a sabbatical... well almost !

I know I'm risking my blog by not posting frequently... I have lost a lot of regular readers by not posting at all ! But then, as it is said, "As you sow, so shall you reap !" Its my loss any way !

Okay, I'm back, not with a bang, but yes, err... I'm back, isn't that enough? :P

Without much ado, this post is related to my last post "College Days". It was a poem on college days. I intentionally didn't post the text. I posted a video... an audio-visual (no visuals, it was audio in a video format... lol) of the poem because the poem was to be felt, and not just read.

But bhai-log, public demand ki wajah se I am compelled to post the full text of the poem. Here it is....

Raah dekhi thi is din ki kab se,

Kitne hi sapne sajaa rakhe the na jaane kab se.

Bade utaavle the jaane ko,

Zindagi ka agla padaav paane ko.

Par na jaane kyun, dil mein aaj kuchh aur aata hai,

Waqt ko rok lene ko jee chaahta hai.

Jin baaton ko le kar rote the, aaj un par hasi aati hai,

Na Jaane kyun, aaj un palon ki yaad bahut aati hai.

Kaha karte the, badi mushkil se teen saal seh gaya,

Par aaj kyun lagta hai ki jaise bahut kuchh peeche reh gaya.

Kahi ankahi hazaaron baatein reh gayi,

Na bhoolne waali kuchh yaadein reh gayi.

Meri taang ab kaun kheecha karega,

Mera sar khaane ko kaun mera peecha karega.

Jahaan 2000 ka hisaab nahi, wahaan 2-2 rupaye ke liye kaun ladega,

Kaun raat bhar jaag jaag kar saath padhega.

Kaun birthday par cake mere muh pe lagayega,

Kaun mere naye naye naam banaayega.

Main ab bina matlab ke kis se ladunga,

Bina topic ke kis se faaltu bakwaas karunga.

Kaun assignments ke liye aage peeche chakkar lagaayega,

Kaun lab mein chhup chhup ke Facebook aur Orkut chalaayega.

Kaun exam mein padhne ke liye motivate karega,

"Kitna hua..." kaun raat ko message kar ke ye puchega.

Kaun last moment tak notes zerox karwaayega,

"Mujhe to kuchh bhi nahi aata..." hamesha ye kaun sunaayega.

Kaun fail hone par dilaasa dilaayega,

Kaun galti se number aane par gaaliyaan sunaayega.

Canteen mein slice kis ke saath piyunga,

Wo haseen pal kis ke saath jiyunga.

Aise dost kahaan milenge jo khaai mein bhi dhakka de aayein,

Par fir tumhe bachaane khud bhi kood jaayein.

Meri pange lene ki aadat se pareshaan kaun hoga,

Kabhi mujhe kisi ladki se baat karte dekh hairaan kaun hoga.

Kaun kahega, "saale, tere joke pe hasi nahi aayi..."

Kaun peeche se bula ke kahega, "aage dekh bhai..."

Class mein message chat kis ke saath karunga,

Kis ke saath boring lectures jhelunga.

PJs pe ab raakshas ki tarah kaun hasega,

Roz message na karne par taane kaun kasega.

Mere mobile ko dabba kehne ki jurrat kaun karega,

Bina darey sachhi advice dene ki himmat kaun karega.

Stage par ab kis ke saath jaaunga,

Juniors ko free ka gyaan kaise de paaunga.

Achaanak bin matlab ke kisi ko bhi dekh kar paagalon ki tarah hasna,

Na jaane ye fir kab hoga, keh do doston ye dobaara sab hoga.

Doston ke liye teachers se kab lad paayenge,

Kya ye din fir se aa paayenge.

Kaun mujhe meri kaabiliyat par bharosa dilaayega,

Aur zyaada hawa mein udne par zameen par le aayega.

Meri khushi se sach mein khush kaun hoga,

Mere gham mein mujh se zyaada dukhi kaun hoga.

Meri poems kaun padhega,

Kaun inhe sach mein samjhega.

Bahut kuchh likhna abhi baaki hai,

Kuchh saath shaayad abhi baaki hai.

Bas ek baat se darr lagta hai doston,

Hum ajnabi naa ban jaayein doston.

Zindagi ke rangon mein dosti ka rang feeka naa pad jaaye,

Kahin aisa naa ho dusre rishton ke bojh taley dosti dum tod jaaye.

Zindagi mein milne ki fariyaad karte rahein,

Agar naa mil sake to kam se kam fariyaad karte rahein.

Chaahe jitna has lo aaj mujh par, main bura nahi maanunga.

Is hasi ko apne dil mein basa lunga.

Aur jab yaad aayegi tumhari,

Yehi hasi le kar thoda sa muskura lunga...

This poem is dedicated to all the people who touched my life during my college years. It is an ode to my college, my classmates, teachers, staff, and everyone who were a part of my life in these wonderful years. Miss you all !

College Days

Everyone says that "All good things come to an end." But has anyone dared to ask "WHY?"

No one has the answer to this question. Even I don't ! :(

As they say that all good things come to an end. So were my college days ! I never expected that these 3 years would be so precious and memorable in my life. I never thought that I would make so many bestEST friends during this phase.

Well, I forgot to apologize for such a lonnnnnnnnnnnggggg break from bloggerdom (not to be mistaken with boredom, which obviously is not the case). The reasons are plenty, studying being the most important, but they're not to be discussed.

Apparently, my last post, which was published almost 3 months ago (a week or 10 days less), was titled "Miss You". And coincidentally, even this post is on the same lines ! I am missing the good old college days. And this post is dedicated to all those buddies and profs, who made this 3 year journey a memorable one.

Following is the video, which features a poem, recorded in my voice, but not completely written by me. The original poem was written by someone else which I got as a forwarded message. I modified it according to my college life. THANKS and FULL CREDIT to the one who originally wrote this mind blowing poem.

I am not posting the exact wordings of this poem on the blog, only for the reason coz this poem is NOT meant to be read, its meant to be FELT !

And before you go ahead with it, here's a personal request from my side, just put on your headphones, close your eyes, remember your friends and listen to it !

Thank you very much for being there in my life :)

Miss You !!

In the morning when I wake up,

And I open up my eyes,

I feel an aching in my heart,

That’s when I realize.

How much I really miss you,

And long to have you near,

My heart is filled with sadness,

And my eyes are filled with tears.

At different times throughout the day,

I find i’m missing you,

And I wonder if, perhaps a bit,

Maybe you miss me too.

I miss you in the shower,

When i’m in there all alone,

And when I want to hear your voice,

And call you on the phone.

When I check my inbox,

And I find there’s nothing there,

I can’t help it that I worry,

And I put you in my prayers.

I think by now it’s safe to say,

That I miss you very much,

And my heart will never be the same,

Since it suffered cupid’s touch.

PS : Happy Valentine's Day :)

The Perfect "WE"

When it comes to lovin' couples,

don't we make the perfect pair-

There's romance, love, and laughter

in the friendship that we share.

We care enough to listen,

to trust and understand.

To build a life together,

side by side and hand in hand.

We both know that we're lucky

and we've got a good thing going.

Through ups and downs

and give and take,

our love just keeps on growing...

'Cause I bring out the best in you,

and you the best in me.

I guess it takes the two of us

to make the perfect "WE".

I Promise...

I promise...

To be your lover when you need to be loved,

To be your doctor when you are ill,

To be your army when you go to war,

To be your umbrella when life rains down on you,

To be your rock when you get weary,

To be your shield when you need defense,

To be your spirit when you are drained,

To be your pillow when you need to rest,

To be your voice when no one can hear you,

To be your ear when no one will listen,

To be your comfort when you feel pain,

To be your hero when you are in trouble,

To be your sunshine when darkness falls,

To be your answer when questions arise,

To be your inspiration to overcome obstacles,

To be your hand to hold when you are frightened,

To be your kiss that wakes you everyday,

and to be your "I love you" each and every night.

I am yours... all yours... all of me...

Is this love?

Listening to her voice so sweet,

Talking words to her so sweet,

My heart thumps, my heart beats.

And I ask myself, Is this love?

All the time I think of her,

All the time I imagine her.

My heart aches and aches for her.

And I ask myself, Is this love?

I feel she's everywhere in me,

I feel her warm breath in me.

Oh ! What's happening to me?

And I ask myself, Is this love?

When I am too much in trouble,

I want her to hold me.

My love for you is killing me,

But then I ask myself, Is this love?

I am never alone...

Whenever I am alone, 

I feel someone sharing my loneliness. 

When I talk to anyone, 

I feel someone sharing my every word. 

When I sleep, 

I feel someone in my dreams. 

Whenever I am happy, 

I feel someone increasing my joy. 

Whenever I become sad, 

I feel someone consoling me. 

Whenever I am angry, 

I feel someone cooling me down. 

Someone shares my every moment, 

Whenever I feel a gap between. 

Tears make wet my cheeks, 

And then someone smiles. 

And love envelopes me, 

And I feel there is

Someone inside me,

I am never alone...

Dhadkan

मेरी नज़रें जब आप की नज़रों से मिली,

आप की नज़रें शरमा के झुक सी गई. 

हम भूल गए क्या कहना था आप से, 

सांसें चलती रहीं और धड़कन रुक सी गई.

आप का अपने चेहरे से जुल्फों को यूँ हटाना, 

कभी शरमाना और कभी इतराना. 

हर अदा आप की दिल को भा गयी, 

सांसें चलती रहीं और धड़कन रुक सी गई. 

याद करते हैं हम आप को हर वक़्त, 

याद करना अब आदत सी हो गई. 

जब भी याद आई मुलाक़ात आप की जिस वक़्त, 

सांसें चलती रहीं और धड़कन रुक सी गई. 

करते हैं इंतज़ार हम आज भी आप का, 

दिल में है प्यार बेशुमार बस आप का. 

न देर कर अब समय की ज़रा सी कमी है, 

धड़कन तो कब की रुक चुकी, अब चंद सांसें ही बची हैं...

My Feelings For YOU

I can’t begin to describe
the feelings I have for You,
when You look into my eyes,
what it makes me do...

My lips begin to tremble,
My heart begins to ache.
My knees go weak and shaking,
My body begins to quake...

I’ve never really expressed myself,
My feelings I’ve kept in a jar.
But now, with You, I feel the need
to tell You what they are...

I feel Your presence when You're near,
And for Your touch my body cries.
But when You smile and walk away,
My heart and soul just dies...

You're my fantasy.
In the darkness of night,
I gaze at You
and hold You tight...

I open my eyes and look for You
at the breaking of the dawn.
But You're here only in my dream,
And once again You’re gone...

If I can’t have Your Love just yet,
I’ll wait till the end of time.
To Me, it will be worth it
to truly call You mine...

Bas Ek Baar...

रात में ख्यालों में आती हो तुम, 

कभी सामने आ कर भी तो देखो. 

हमारी तरफ रोज़ मुस्कुराती हो तुम,

बस एक बार हम से बात कर के तो देखो.

हमारी नज़र बहुत कुछ कह देती है, 

कभी हमारी नज़रों को समझ कर तो देखो. 

हम से दोस्ती का रिश्ता है तुम्हारा, 

बस एक बार हम से दिल लगा कर तो देखो. 

हमारी बातों ने तुम्हारा दिल कई बार बहलाया है, 

कभी अपनी बातों से हमें हँसा कर तो देखो. 

मुझ से मिल कर अनजाने में दिल में बस गयी हो, 

बस एक बार हमें अपने दिल में बसा कर तो देखो. 

तुम्हें अपनाने के लिए हर इम्तेहान देंगे हम, 

हमें कभी आजमा कर तो देखो. 

तुम कहती हो कि बहुत मुश्किल है तुम्हें अपनाना, 

बस एक बार हमें अपना बना कर तो देखो. 

हर मुश्किल राह भी आसान हो जायेगी, 

बस हम पर एक बार ऐतबार कर के तो देखो. 

हम तुम्हें ज़िन्दगी में हर ख़ुशी देंगे, 

बस एक बार हम से प्यार कर के तो देखो.

Aisa Kyun Hota Hai...?

हर पल मेरा दिल तुम ही को याद क्यों करता है? 

जब तुम दूर जाती हो, दिल क्यों रोता है?

जब तुम पास आती हो, एक ख़ास एहसास क्यों होता है?

जब तुम मुस्कराती हो, दिल क्यों खुश हो जाता है?

ऐसा क्यों होता है...?

तुम्हारा दुख देख कर दिल क्यों दुख सा जाता है?

जब तुम नाराज़ रहती हो, सारा जहां नाराज़ क्यों लगता है?

जब तुम कुछ कहती हो, दिल क्यों उसे मान लेता है?

तुम्हारी खामोशी को भी दिल क्यों समझ लेता है?

ऐसा क्यों होता है...?

तुम्हारी आवाज़ सुन कर दिल क्यों बेताब सा हो जाता है?

जब तुम मेरा नाम लेती हो, दिल क्यों जोर से धड़कता है?

जब तुम सामने आती हो, दिल क्यों खिल सा जाता है?

जब तुम मुझे देखती हो, दिल क्यों तुम्हारा हो जाता है?

ऐसा क्यों होता है...?

I'll Always Be There

When the world seems to walk out on you,

And you feel scared.

When you're feeling low, you're feeling blue,

Turn around, and I'll be right there.

Even though there were others to make you strong,

You never noticed I was there all along.

And now that they've left you alone,

And you're are all on your own.

I wanted you to know...

Whenever you get scared,

Turn around, I'll always be there.

When you'll win yourself back,

And shine like the brightest star.

When the others will come back to you,

You will change who you are.

I will still adore you and will always love,

Will wait till you're left again.

Because then you'll be all alone,

And I'll be your only true friend.

I just wanted you to know...

Whenever you get scared,

Turn around, I'll always be there.

Koi Mere Dil Mein Rehta Hai...

जब रात के तनहा लम्हों में,

कोई आहट मुझ से कहती है;

इस दिल में हलचल रहती है,

कोई जुगनू पास से गुज़रे तो,

कोई बात हलक से निकले तो,

मैं खुद से उलझने लगता हूँ,

फिर जाने क्या क्या कहता हूँ,

फिर याद उसकी आती है,

फिर पल दो पल के लमहे को,

ये सांस मेरी रुक जाती है,

एक शोला दिल में भड़कता है,

वो दर्द सेहर तक रहता है,

फिर मेरा मन मुझ से यह कहता है,

कोई मेरे दिल में रहता है...

Crush

I think of you, I talk of you,

I see you in my dream.

You're just so beautiful,

I feel a need to scream.

I smell the scent of loveliness

every time you're near.

I feel that all the angels sing

when its just your voice I hear.

Struck by some magic spell,

there's just no other way.

That you are all I think I need

to make it through each day.

When truth is pointed out to me,

my face it seems does blush.

But honestly I can't deny,

on you I've got a crush.

PS : Happy Valentine's Day :)
