A Poem for you...

I remember the days we spent,
I remember the places we went.

I remember the long talks we had,
I remember the arguments that made you mad.

I remember the stories which you left half,
I remember the jokes on which we had a laugh.

I remember how much I was dependent on you,
The decisions I have taken without you are few.

Today what happened, I don’t know whether its right,
But just wish for your future to be bright.

I am scared of thinking my days without you,
I have loved you always and will be loving you.

The days were bad and I made it worst,
Today after long time in tears I burst.

If you can forgive me I would be glad,
I promise that you won’t have complaints that you had.

A Differrent Day!!!!

Day seems to be so different,
What I want to do I am not able to do,
I am doing something,
What I am not suppose to do.

Seriously, I m just sitting at my desk,
Feeling as if the moment is been caught,
I want something,
But I don’t know what.

Opened a book to read,
But didn’t manage to read a single word,
Came online to chat,
But then got easily bored.

I am still trying to figure out,
What am I trying to get,
But I think,
The best solution is to forget.

What I am trying to search,
Will finally go in vain,
And it won’t give me anything,
Other than pain.

Katz dear,
Just go and relax,
Don’t think much,
Worrying about the climax.

Promises…

Promises… This is what we have to give to make people trust us.
We promise a person when he/she wants to tell us the secret.
We promise when we want the other person to believe what we are saying or doing.
But how well do we keep it??

We have always said this as a kid and even now..
“God Promise, I didn’t do it!!”
“Promise me, you won’t tell anyone??”

If you don’t keep your promise… Then the worst thing will happen to you that’s what the belief is.

I am not saying that I have broken everyone’s promise. Don’t be scared after reading this. I was just thinking how convenient it is stop people spreading your secrets or make people believe you. You tell that person to swear and you believe him/her.

Is it like you didn’t trust him/her before he/she promised?

Promise is an amazing thing…
If you promise and break it i.e. if you give a False Promise then he/she looses the trust.
If you don’t promise then he/she won’t trust you ever.

I remember my friend saying “Promises are meant to be broken.” So how often do you keep it???

Dad !!!

You taught me to be myself,

You taught me all the goodness in life,

You taught me to be right,

You are the integral part of my life.

You are the one with whom I had major arguments,

You are the one with whom I have fought the most,

You are the one with whom I didn’t talk for months,

But still you are the one I love the most.

I know we got close very late,

As I was scared of you when I was kid,

But now there is nothing more important than you,

And it is only happiness I wish to bid.

I know you have strive hard for us,

Got out of your way to protect us,

Sacrificed your dreams for us,

There is nothing that you didn’t do for us.

I just can’t imagine,

My life without you,

My life is the best,

Having a Dad like you.

I Love You Papa!!!

Is someone out there??

Is someone there who can hear me,
If you really can hear me,
Can you answer my question,
Are you the one special for me??

Is someone there who care for me,
If you really care for me,
Then please tell me,
When you will come in front of me??

Is someone there who can see me,
If you really can see me,
I want to see you too,
Just tell me, Where will I see you??

Is someone there who understand me,
If you really do,
I want to talk to you,
So that I understand you too..

Is someone there who love me,
If you really love me,
I want to meet you,
So that I can love you too... :)

Happy Birthday to Me!!!

Happy Birthday to Me,
Happy Birthday to Me,
Happy Birthday Dear Khyati,
Happy Birthday to Me.

From old friends and true,
From good friends and new,
May good luck go with you,
And happiness too

I thank you dear friends,
I thank you dear friends,
For all your kind wishes,
I thank you dear friends.

Does God really exist??

I was in class 6, when we had a question box in our classroom. We were asked to put a question in the box, which will be later answered by our class teacher in our Moral Science class. I had put a question which I had in my mind since long time. I waited every moral science period excited, for my question to come out of that box. Finally, one day it did, Teacher reading  “If God made us then who made God???. Bell rang and the class got over. And again the question was left unanswered. I was scared of my teacher so I didn't have courage to stand up and ask her to reply to my question.

I grew up with this question in mind. I used to visit temples with my family but had this question in mind. "Does God really exist?"

Then, one day I interrogated my friend, "What do you believe in? What you see or what you hear?" 

He answered, “I believe in what I see.” 

Immediately my next question was, “Have you seen god that you believe in him?” 

He didn’t defend his answer.

Few years later, I was sitting in a Temple with my Mom where my Dad and Brother were performing some rituals. I told my mom, “I feel what we do is blind faith. Why we have to believe something  not there. If Krishna could save Draupadi at her Vastraharan, Why doesn’t he come to save the girls who are being raped? We just follow things what others say. I don’t believe in all this.” My mom slapped me in the temple for being rude and talking all this in the Temple.

I asked the same to my Grandma, and she replied, “Gods and Goddesses existed only in Satyuga (Era of Truth) as per Hindu Mythology and at present we are living in Kalyug(Era of Downfall). It was predicted that all the sorriest things will happened in this phase. There are lot of bad things yet to happen and the world will end some day.”

I was not convinced. Sometimes, I felt sorry for the people practicing some religious rites for stupidest things. Example: A Maha Pooja for an Indian cricket team going to play a World Cup. But what will even God do if the cricketers don’t practice??

I have seen few people just leaving everything on God. It could be clearing their exams or clearing their interview. I believe in 'believing in ourselves and working hard to achieve your dreams'. I have had endless arguments on this topic with no conclusion derived out of it.

As I grew, my idea about God  kept changing. 

But this what I believe now,

“There is a supernatural power and we call it ‘God’. God is within us. We write our own destiny. Why do we have to depend on someone or wait for a miracle to happen to get our dreams fulfilled?

And If God really exists, he will give you what you want if you really deserve.”

Strange but true...

People for who you care the most, betray you.
People for who you always wish the best, are the one to hurt you.
People who claim to understand you, are the one to misunderstand you.
And the one person you blindly trust is the one to break it.

Some relationships are so complicated and some are only based on expectations. Seriously can’t think of any solution to get out of such situation other than forgetting that person for the rest of our lives.

Someone has rightly said,

“People come, People go.

Some may remain, some may become shadow.

Just remember one thing,

Alone one has come,

And alone one has to go.”

Triple Bonanza…….. September Dhamaka!!!

I have started believing “Bhagwaan jab deta hai chappar faad ke deta hai!!!(When God starts giving, he gives all at once)”…

I had finished my last semester MCA exams this may and went for the trek. May month ended. I was already placed in a campus interview in the year 2006. After returning from the trek, I didn’t know what I would do next, as I was waiting for my company to give my joining dates. I managed to get a teaching job in month of June and in this way June month ended but still no clue of my joining date. July started. I started studying for Java Certification, waited for my MCA results . I got my joining dates but as 2^nd November. I was wondering how I will spend next three months. August started. I gave high priority to Java Certification Exam (SCJP) and planned to give it in the month end. Wait for MCA result continued……

September starts… All I got at once…

1. I give my SCJP exam and clear with 95%.
2. My final semester MCA result gets declared and I pass with Distinction.
3. I get a call from the company where I did my MCA Internship and they offer me a job for two months.

All happiness at once… It's too hard to digest... I am so happy that I not able to express my happiness. I feel as if I am on the "Top of the World". I have lost all words today. I was never as happy as today. I am the most happiest person today. :D

It’s just beginning of September; hope I get more like this… I think I am getting too greedy… But saying so, as I consider it as my lucky month coz it’s my birth month. Now don’t tell me I am being Superstitious... Even if I am then what’s the loss??

“Speak less to people u love...coz if they can’t understand ur silence they can never understand ur words...”

I don’t know who has written this but read it somewhere. There are many who believe it, and implement it too. It's good if it works with people having lotsa understanding. But I am writing this for the people who intentionally do it. I dunno what they conclude later but I disagree with the thought of implementing the silence for some purpose at least in one's love relationship's .

According to me, it means you expect the one u love to understand your silence. But it could be a failure in many situations.

• It might be the person whom u love, may not be loving you... and you expect that person to understand then what???
• If the other person is as dumb as I am, then it will not help. There are certain things that should be said... and it’s better expressed with words than silence. Your silence could have many interpretations.
• I feel you expect a lot from the one you love... but what it if he/she doesn’t meet your expectations???
• I don’t understand... how speaking less is going to help... is that a type of measurement of your love... what is it??
• Above all I feel one is testing their love by doing so..

Its not like I am against love, but if there are so many words in our dictionary that are really romantic and beautiful.. then why not express your love with those words…

Noorie

It was a normal day for me. I was on the way home from college, late in the evening. I caught my usual Dadar - Kalyan local train. The seats were already occupied and some women had occupied doors and the passage to sit. But, I somehow managed to get some place to stand in the passage near the door. A girl was sitting next to me with a huge bag on her lap. The train started moving. Matunga Station arrived. A person boarded the train and was standing near the door. The train was nearing Sion Station. The person standing near the door asked the girl sitting down next to me to stand up giving her a reason why is she saying so? It was just because more crowd was getting in the train and she could face breathing problem and in addition other women as usual could yell at her for sitting. The girl unlike others obeyed her, and got up. They both exchanged smiles and this aroused a conversation...

The person asked the girl "Are you coming from a trip?" She replied politely, “Yes, I had been to Ooty". They both went on chatting asking questions about each other. The girl asked the person same question which she had just replied “What do you do?". The person replied, "I spread information on AIDS awareness in slums.” All females in the passage who were overhearing their conversation were stunned with this answer. They were not shocked with the word AIDS, they were annoyed because of the person who was taking about it. The person who just dared to say it was a Eunuch/Transgender.

I, standing next to the girl thought, Is it true or is she bluffing??? Eunuchs are mostly ill-treated. Most of the people make faces when they are around. When such people get in our train compartments, most of the females pass nasty comments. They are avoided, ignored, insulted, hated… I always had thought that such people don't have anything to do, except begging in front of people for money. I thought that we normal people haven't left any profession for them. None of us would like to have such people as a friend, colleague or even as an acquaintance. Some people do not even like them standing close to them. So, I was curious to know Is it true? If yes, how they handle this job?? It would be really difficult for them to make people listen to them??

I was about to ask these questions and the girl coincidently asked the same, "Are u serious? Do people listen to what you say?"

The person smiled and said, "I work with an association, run by our community, to spread the awareness of a disease i.e. AIDS. We go door to door in slums making people aware of it. Yes, it’s a tough job for us, as people don't accept us easily. When we knock their door, they shut it on our face just seeing us without giving us a chance to utter a single word. Most of them think, we are beggars as many people like us do that. Some are scared of us. Out of 100 people, 85 are such who neglect us, but rest 15 considers us HUMANS. In our profession, we don't try to make people forcibly listen to us. It is very difficult to convince people who completely disrespect you or even not contemplate you. Many like me were not even accepted by our parents, so how do we expect others to accept us?? But who make an attempt to listen what we are saying, we convey them are messages happily."

Now, most of them in the train were listening to what the person was talking as her voice was loud. Miracle one would say, but yes, the compartment was almost silent, listening to her. The girl and I were so engrossed in her talk that we didn't realize the next station was ours. We both went to the other door, and I shouted from the other end, "What’s your name?" The person answered happily, "NOORIE!”. We got down from the train and waved her Good Bye.

Noorie's talks would have really left an impact on some who heard her and I was one of them too. Noorie unknowingly has taught me something. She taught me How to value life? We are lucky that we are born normal. Our problems are really tiny as compared to what Noorie has faced. Negligence and Avoidance, this is what she has experienced since birth and one should be that tough to fight all the problems in life instead of crying over it. I felt, my problems are nothing in front of this.

This all happened in one of my bad phases, may be that’s the reason, this incident has influenced me. Surely, I will remember Noorie all my life.
