Winning.........

What exactly does it mean to win? Is it something that gets you happiness by undermining others? Is it just the feeling to be on the top of the world?



Winning doesn't' only mean coming first,
It means to perform your best,
Winning doesn't mean to defeat others,
It means to win over their hearts,
You win when you help someone,
You win when you spread smiles,
There are people who count upon you,
You win when you make them proud,
You win when you don't fail,
You win when you achieve,
You can win every moment of Life,
You just need to win over yourself.......

Life is full of Challanges....

Life is full of challenges. Challenges of all kind keep coming in our way. They often seem to present obstacles in our work. But I love challenges. Not for one, but for many reasons. They just turn me on and inspire me to perform with all of my energy and enthusiasm. For me, it is like a necessity to overcome a challenge. It’s a chance to improve myself and keep my belief strong that IMPOSSIBLE IS NOTHING.


There’s a famous quote, ‘Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up’. If you are afraid of the challenge that lays ahead you, you may be one of these people.
So guys come on, stop allowing the challenges in your life to be a deterrent in your path. They are the best opportunity that God throws at you. Grab the opportunity and make the best out of it. Remember, “You don’t get opportunities, you have to create them

A part of me withers away everyday.......



Missing you is now
The only thing I do all day,
A part of me
Withers away everyday,
You are in my smiles,
In my tears,
You are too far,
Yet, too near,
Earlier I believed I could learn,
But now I know I can’t,
Coz learning to live without you,
Hurts like a cactus plant,
I try to keep myself busy,
But it’s not easy anyway,
A part of me,
Withers away everyday,
Lost in your memories,
My throat often goes dry,
But I hold back my tears,
I say to myself I must not cry,
I have gone deaf,
I have gone dumb,
This world I don’t notice,
Loneliness has made me numb,
I still have a hope,
And everyday I pray,
But, a part of me,
Withers away everyday,
This world is true,
Something still gives me a clue,
We’ll meet, yes we will,
No matter how high there may be a hill,
If there is something called a heart,
If I was ever true on my part,
Then the thorns between us,
Will never tear me apart,
No hill and no thorn,
None can block our way,
But what should I do,
A part of me,
Still withers away everyday………………

A lunch with the Prime Minister......

What an experience it was. A man like me, a person who earns just Rs. 25000 per month and who commutes between North Mumbai and South Mumbai every morning and evening was experiencing the pleasure of having lunch with the real head of the country. Yesterday was a day when I had lunch with none other than The Prime Minister of India. I was sitting before Mr. Manmohan Singh after passing through so many security checks and with so many security guards and commandos surrounding me, rather I should say surrounding him. My head was bulging with thoughts, with questions and with doubts. The worst question that my mind darted at me was, “Will they shoot me if I dropped something on the floor?”. If that was not enough, my great mind posed another question to me, “Is there a possibility that I am having lunch with a look alike of Mr. Manmohan Singh and they have hid the real prime minister somewhere?”. Man, I was really getting mad. But how can a person like me stop himself from getting mad when he is sitting in front of such an eminent personality. Then my mind reminded me of the questions that I had planned to ask him. “Sir how do you manage so many scams?” “Have you taken even one decision on your own in your term or were they all Sonia ji’s?” “Please tell me about any more scam that’s in the pipeline” “Do you guys run some coaching classes on corruption?”. There were much more of these questions, but I was not able to bring myself to ask any one of them. I looked up to see him and several other persons eating in calm. Then I again began to think how I landed up having lunch with the head of the state(Yes I was not eating, although so many delicacies were lying before me, and the thing was that no one was even asking me to eat). But suddenly someone called my name and my heart began to beat so fast as if it was in a race to set a Guinness world record. I heard my name again. I turned around sweating with fear. “Why are you sweating, the AC’s on, right?”. My colleague Prakash was standing before me. My lunch break was over and my tiffin was still lying intact before me…………………..

The world's not mine......


Standing in the crowd,
I find myself alone,
In this world of pseudo humans,
To feel alienated I am prone,
I find everyone just the same,
It seems they are playing a game,
Game of hearts it is called,
In which others pain is everyone's pleasure,
The spirit of brotherhood has vanished,
And others sorrows have become everyone's treasure,
I don't know till when this will last,
Till when at others hearts people will throw a stone,
But all I know is,
standing in this crowd,
I find myself alone!!!!!!!!

The breeze and me.......


The air last night whistled past my ears,
It whispered to me,
And promised it will let me know if you are in tears,
Tears, I said to myself,
I will never let roll down your eyes,
I will give you not any sorrow, not any lies,
I told the breeze to take your care,
Coz I will always try, but at times I may not be there,
It asked me why,
And I said because one day I may have to die,
That would be the only time I will not be around,
But I will not leave behind for you,
Any pain that may surround,
We chatted for long,
And in the end the breeze and I both said cheers....
And that was a night when the air whistled past my ears!!!!!!!!

On Suicides and all..........

Hamare India mein pehli class ka result badmen ata hai aur agli class k lie tuitions pehle shuru ho jati hain. Toh meri bhi 11th ki tuitions 10th ka result ane se pehle hi shuru ho chuki thin. Maine science side lene ka faisla kia tha. Science side le toh li par wo atoms ka jhamela, differentiation ki mar, aur physics ki bhi na jane kitni hi cheejen mere kuch jyada samajh nahi ati thin. Mere marks puri 11th mein lagataar kam hote chale gae. Final term mein mere 66.4% ae the. 88.6% se seedha 66.4% par. Main khud samajh nahi pa raha tha iska karan kya hai. Han, maine panda thoda kam kia tha, par itna bhi nahi ki itne kam number aen. Shayad ye padai thi hi aisi. Main aksar sochta tha ki yaar ye log hume robot samajhte hain kya. Hamari teachers toh aise samajhti thi jaise puri dunia mein humse bada koi nalayak tha hi nahi. Chalo, ye nikkamapan bhi hamare nam k sath jud chukka tha. Ab 12th main pahunch gae the. Padai aur mushkil ho gai. Par jaise ki maine apko bataya mera man isme jyada lagta nahi tha. Aisa nahi hai ki main mushkil cheejon se darta tha. Teachers nikkama samajhti thi, par asal mein main tha nahi. Bat bas itni si thi ki mujhe science padne mein jyada maja nahi ata tha. Mera interest kisi aur hi cheej mein tha. Mehnat toh fir bhi ki. Pre- boards ka jab result aya toh mere 70.2% the. Maine socha, chalo, acha hai, boards mein toh isse jyada hi aenge. Boards ki date sheet bhi aa gai. Main apko bata dun ki zindagi jaisi bhi thi, jitni bhi khali aur bekar thi, khudkushi karne ka khyal kabhi mere man mein nahi aya. Padai ka wo pressure jhelne ki himmat thi mujhme. Arre mere parents, meri behan, sab mujhe kitna pyar karte the. Main bhala kaise soch sakta tha is bare mein. Par pressure jhelne ki himmat sabme nahi hoti. Boards shuru ho chuke the aur pehla exam hue bhi do din beet chuke the. Meri ek friend ka phone aya.
“Mohit, main ja rahi hun. Mujhe chemistry ka paper bilkul nahi ata aur agar mere ache number nahi ae toh apne mom dad ka samna main nahi kar paungi, itni himmat nahi hai mujhme. Maine chithi likh di hai. Aj apne hath par blade bhi chalae par fir ruk gai. Mohit main exams khatam hone tak hi hun, bas itne hi din hain mere. Result ka samna main nahi kar paungi”
Maine socha pagal ho gai hai ye ladki. Arre koi ek stupid se exam ki wajah se aisa karta hai kya. Mujhe samajh nahi aa raha tha kya bolun.
“Pagal ho gai hai kya. Kaisi baten kar rahi hai.” Bahut samjhaya maine. Exam ke baad milne ko bola.
Milne par bhi maine use bahut samjhaya par uske dimag par toh jaise ek sanak sawar thi. Harkar maine uske mom dad ko bataya. Akhir hum sabke bahut samjhane par bat uske kuch samajh ai.
Wo toh man gai par bahut log aise hain jo is padai ke pressure ko, zindagi ke utar chadav ko jhel nahi pate. Khud ko khatam karna unhe sab se aasan tareeka lagta hai. Doston, ye zindagi itni sasti nahi hai ki hum ise aise hi kho den. Hume apna swarth, apna selfishpan chodna hoga.



Zindagi ek tohfa hai,
Jo milta hai khushnasibi se,
Mana ki ye zindagi apki hai,
Magar har faisla nahi hoga apki marzi se,
Un logon ke bare mein,
Socho kuch lamhon k lie,
Jo taiyaar hain,
Apke lie kuch bhi kar guzarne k lie,
Ek ma, jiski zindagi basti hai apmen,
Wo bap, apke lie kai sapne hain jiski ankhon mein,
Bhai jo ladta bahut hai,
Magar pyar wo apse karta bahut hai,
Kuch dost jinke lie zindagi ka matlab shayad ap ho,
Chahe ap kuch bhi keh lo,
Magar, khushnaseeb to ap bahut ho,
Koi hak nahi apko apno ko rulane ka,
Koi hak nahi apko maut ko apnane ka……….
