Was watching “Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara” few days back.. although it has many simple yet meaningful dialogues.. this one stuck with me for some time. I love Javed Akhtar’s free flowing shayaris in this movie so I once I start seeing it I end up watching till end.

“Back to reality, I was travelling in Metro with my friend today and saw a sick lady lying on the seat, condition looked bad, Her husband was there trying to comfort her, perhaps some sort of food poisoning. There was vomit on the floor hence that area was comparatively empty. As we entered our first reaction/step was to talk to that person and check where he is going and what happened. Other passengers were trying to assist by guessing what has happened and how much time it will take to reach the last station, where the couple had to get off. In the midst of everything, My friend “Pinto” let’s call him that here. started dialing emergency number and was able to reach Metro Helpline, told them whats going on and to send some medical help. To my surprise on very next station Metro official came with his walky-talkie and asked the couple to get down so that first aid/medical check up can be done. It felt good as we helped someone, more than me, It was Pinto who acted like a perfect citizen and human being at time of crisis. I said “That was very nice of you, and one good deed for the day by you” Well Done !!
I Hope lady felt better and couple reached home safely!!

Moral – If we stop blaming and act good things happen, it would have been easy to blame DMRC, that it’s helpline is not working and all, but one simple act of trying all helpline and informing officials was enough to trigger the rescue.

Moving back to my motive of login here, It’s been many months since I posted here. So time to bring all I have written on the table and press it : )

Har mausam mein dil ko bhaye..
Ek pyaali garma-garam chai..!!

Badi baaton ki samajh auron ko rakhne do..
Mujhe bas choti baaton ki ahmiyat se matlab hai..!!

Kitni bhi haseen ho raat ki awaargi…
Lajawab hai subah ki taazgi..!!

Kabhi kabhi sehamti zaroor hai..
Fir chal padna, na rukna, zindagi ka yahi dastoor hai..!!

Wo kal udaas thi.. Wo aaj khafa hain..
Ye Unki baatein.. Ye Unki adaa hai..
Wo kehte hain, koi baat nahi..
Kaise maan lein hum , koi to wajah hai..
Chalo muskura do ek baar, bas Yehi choti si hamari iltazaa hai..!!

Raat ne raub dikhakar..
Jagaaya raat bhar..
Subah bhi kahan kam ziddi..
Kambakht sone nahi deti..!!

Be-baaki bardaasht ho bhi toh kaise..
Zamaana ye dikhawe pe jo chaley..!!

Kya maange sab to diya hai usne..
Pher to bas apni samajh ka..
Dard bhari hansi jab bhi dekhi..
Samajhe hum saar jeewan ka.!!

Smiling tears..
Can only be there, when the heart is free of hatred, mind is clear and there ain’t no fear..
You don’t see them often..
But when you do, that’s some feeling my dear..
That’s the moment to cherish,
That’s the time to say cheers..!!:)

Laazim hai husn ka itraanaa,
Jiski har adaa mein luft aur andaaz mein lachak hai..
Fitratan aashiqon ke dil ki kashmakash badhaye..
Ye unke Chain-o-Sukoon pe khalal hai..!!
– Gaurav (21/8/13)

Uljhane suljhaata dil..
Mushkilon mein ek adna sa honsla..
Zindadilee, Faqat Itna sa jazbaah hai..!!

Takalluf ka daur hai in dino..
Bemaani baaton ka shor hai in dino..!!

Khamosh falak muskurakar keh raha..
Kabhi be-parwah jagmagatey the sitarey..
Unki chamak mein bhi ek Jhijhak hai in dino !!

Khushnuma mausam ki saugaat,
lekar aai fir barsaat..
Hawaaon ne li thandi angdaai hai,
Chehron pe laparwaah hansi fir se khilkhilai hai..!!:)
– Gaurav (21/9/2013)

Mushkil ho haalaat,
poochey koi haal tumhara..
Chehre pe damak aur labon pe khushi,
kuch yun ho andaz niraalaa..!!:)

Choti si baat pe ashq bahana aur fir pal mein bebaak muskurana..
Na jaane kab gaya aur kahan gaya wo zamaana..!!
– Gaurav (8/10/2013)

Har baat ka ilzaam dil pe lagaana theek nahin..
Insaan hain, gusakhiyaan hongi..
Yun har pal afsos jatana theek nahin..!!
Waajib hai auron se parde-daari lekin,
Khud se jhoot bolkar..
Be-imaan ho jaana theek nahin..!!
– Gaurav (14/10/2013)

Khud se takraar, Khud ko lalkaar..
Mayusi jab bhi chaaye, Na himmat haar..!!
Ek naya khwaab, kuch ummeedein..
kashti ban, maujon se ladkar, Le jaayengi us paar..!!
– Gaurav (14/10/2013)

Kuch ikraar aisi bhi..
Izhaar ki zaroorat hi nahin..!!
