Home Sweet Home....

In two days I am leaving for my home. A bit thrilled thinking of the travel and the time I am gonna spend at my home. Last time I was there for just a week and this time I am in for a month's vacation.

A real vacation and I have already made lot of plans. It's a big family get together this time coz for the first time in my 26 years of life I will be with all the members of my whole family. The same very thought gives a feel good feeling.

There was always a difference whenever I am at home and I think I have said that in my previous posts. This time I will write a different travelogue altogether. Really I am missing my home, even though I know that I am not gonna settle in there for a long time but still that feeling that I have somewhere to run to when I am totally exhausted, is so comforting. A comfort for which I dont have to pay any taxes... :)

कहीं दूर किसी गाँव में एक छोटा सा आशियाँ हैं मेरा ,
ओस से सजे पेडों के बीच एक छोटा सा घर है मेरा ।
उसके आँगन मे खेलता है मेरा वो ना भूलाने वाला बचपन ,
उसके चार दिवारी में पनप्थी हुई वो प्यार भरी खुशियाँ ।
यूं तोह वहाँ मैं कुछ दिनों का हूँ मेहमान ,
लेकीन वोही पल ज़िंदगी भर के लिए छोड़ जाती है कुछ याद भरे नीशान ।

The Unknown Stranger........

An unknown stranger drowning in life,
With dreams shattered by dances of loneliness...
Carrying the leftover of darkness,
And shouldering the fallen soul of solitude...
The riddles unfolding from the murky sky,
Will remain unanswered till the eternity...
Grooved by wilderness of seclusion,
And de proximity of de mirage horizon....

Rationally dwells in the peculiar hell,
Realizing the impeccable reality.
Trying to unfold the real scum within,
And unleash the naked truth of bitterness..
Have nowhere within to shelter the sins,
Haunted by the dark images of fear,
Tightly foiled in the wings of secrecy,
And pricked by the cold heartless winds..
A destitute attempt to reach out,

Thrashed by the very own shadow....

A wanderer in search of an Identity,
Searching through the valley of dullness,
Deep inside heart painted with greyness,
And surrounded by an uncanny silence..
Lurching towards the unsighted redemption............

A stranger who is unknown, but known to everyone....his journey continues... and it goes on unnoticed till someone else travels his way...

Where are We???

(Part-II)

I don’t know how much I am able to bring out the actual difference between the ways of thinking. We tend to think in a different way but we are actually traveling through the same pipes of thoughts. We want to become independent. And the main theme of independence here is the economical independence. I agree it’s just a part of independence but not the whole.

So where are we actually?? I don’t know where we are heading to? We work, we earn and we thrive to perform better every time, but are we actually getting better? Sooner or later a time will come when we all will think about this way of life and what we are getting from it. But I fear it will be a bit too late for changing anything.

The mindset is something which either we should try to understand theirs or something we should create new for ourselves. There are lots of things that we even though know but pretend that it is not much of a concern. We learn a lot of things all through our life from childhood to the stage we are at present now. Things taught by our parents, by our friends and by our society, a society which thrives on the very aspect of tradition and culture. But soon there will be no culture left at all to follow .Don’t let that culture die away , don’t let materialistic things to take control of our life.

Coming to the bottom line of what I was trying to convey, I am not against anything but I am not in for everything that this fast life has in store for us. Remember everybody has a moral responsibility for everything that happens to the Mother Nature and mankind. Don’t think science will find answers for all the problems….

Where are we???

(Part-I)


I thought what's bothering me.May be the fact that I am just counting my days in Mumbai. I am just growing restless from the fact that very soon I am moving out to my native place. I dunno how it was here, it was quite ok as far as I believe. Learned a lot of things and not all of them I really wanted to learn.It's a fast life here, have to adapt soon or else you will be made to adapt.

All things have just their materialistic values, that's all, thtz the end of everything. You use it to it's maximum and then try to find something better than that. So everything is spinning around the simple logic of "Use n Throw".People competing just to get better than what their neighbor's has.Why ?? "Can't they get satisfied?? No way"."Nothing satisfies me" that's the motto I suppose everybody is following here.Nothing is spared not even the relations.You will find lot of people complaining he/she is not of my type. Then why do they went out first of all. It's just the first impression that draw one person to another,then slowly the true person reveals out and that's the end. Everybody knows the fact that no two person are same, then what's the use of complaining of being not of their type. Why everyone wants other gender to be his or her type?Why are they not ready to accept the truth? No way, it's satisfaction that always counts.

Satisfaction is not what you get when you get what you wanted. Satisfaction is something what you feel, when you believe that your needs are fulfilled. So satisfaction is what you believe.Even if you get everything you will never be satisfied and even if you dont get everything you can still be satisfied within yourself. It all depends on how you differentiate your wants and your needs. Wants and Needs are two different things.But it has become same nowadays.Actually people are misinterpreting them for one and the same. And this is not the story of one single metropolitan city named Mumbai. It's same story for each and every city in India.

Everybody trying to catch a culture that's far more western. No matter how hard people try to imitate, their imitation will always be at least a century behind.Coz people are just following their lifestyle, regardless of the actual mindset they should be in. No matter what, until and unless they dont take western mindset into consideration,whatever they do will still be termed as "following".

What is that Mindset of western people? I dont think I can define that but I can very well give you some instances of their ill effect and good effect. There are lot of good and bad effects of that mindset too. Remember nothing is pure or perfect not even god coz we all are creations of his imaginations.And imaginations are not perfect always.Lot of imperfections will remain. The biggest advantage,people are free over there, free to think free to adapt and most important they are open to any idea. They believe in doing something new every time and every time they do it it set standards for people over here to follow.

We will always be followers,simply coz we cant be thinkers and we dont want to be leaders......
Simply coz we dont want to think in new dimensions, we want to play safe and we always use ideas that are tried and tested over times. We never want to explore into non conquered routes of map coz we fear of getting lost. But remember,Until and unless you get lost you will never find a new way out. We always seek for ready made answers but never wanna venture into the process of making the answers. We do what everybody else do, so we will always be followers..

There are disadvantages too and what are they?
There people put themselves in front of everything,a kind of selfish act, they dont how other's would be affected due to their actions. They might know what the effect would be but they do it anyway as long as it doesn't compromise their situation.So free thinking is not always good and it will remain a curse as long as a mankind and nature is getting affected in a harmful way.
