Kehte hai ki nadi ke do kinaare kabhi nahi milte, isliye ek kinaare se doosre kinaare tak jaane ke liye ya to ek pul ya phir ek naav ki zaroorat hai. . .ek kinaara doosre ko nahi pehchaanta. . . lekin agar nadi hi sookh jaaye to? Kehne ko to nadi kahi logon ke liye faydamant hai, lekin agar woh ganda, apavitr ho? Aur agar naa bhi ho, lekin isse kisi ko koi faydaa na ho to kya phir bhi yeh zaroori hai? Uske sookh jaane se do kinaare mil jaaye, kya isme koi bhaalai nahi?

Log kahenge hi ki niyati ke khilaaf mat jao. . .uske apne kaayde kanoon hai, unki mariyaada to mat laango. . .dono kinaare ek doosre ko roz dekhte hai, phir bhi mil nahi paate. . .bhale hi apne aap mein ek doosre se alag ghut ghut kar rahe, phir bhi, nadi to rahegi aur us hi disha mein bahegi jis disha mein sadiyon se behti aa rahi hai. . .'ulti Ganga mat bahao' kehte hai log, lekin Ganga hi na rahe to? Aasaan to nahi, nadi ek din mein thodi na sookhti hai, sadiyon lag jaate hai, par shuruwaat to kabhi na kabhi karni hogi na. . .aisi ek nahi kahi nadiyaan hai, jinka koi faydaa nahi. . .dheere dheere in sab ko sookhna hoga, taaki kinaare mil jaaye. . .

Do panchi ek daal ke

Ek samajdaar, doosra natkhat
Ek junoon se bhara, doosra pyaar se
Ek main hai aatmavishwaas, doosre mein antargyaan
Ek hase, doosra hasaaye
Ek ko kitaabon se lagaav, aur doosra unke paas na jaaye
Lekin phir hai woh sang sang

Milkar lade zindagi ke jung
Yaari ho to aisi, inhe dekh kar duniya kahe
Saada yeh ek daal ke panchi rahe

Jaane kaise aa gayi is zindagi mein,
Aur laayi isme bahaar
Haule haule iska hissa ban kar,
Layi khushiyon ki puhaar

Jo baatein aaj tak daabakar rakhi,
Unhe bolne ka mauka diya sakhi
Aur mann mein thi jo bhi paheli,
Unhe hamesha suljhaaya saheli

Ise meri sthuti na samjho,
Waakai mein abhaari hoon main,
Tumhare jaise ucch vichaar ke insaan
Aaj kal milte kahaan hain?

Shukriya dost :)

D camp's not called Manthan 4 nothing. . .churning of d mind, introspection. . .a once in lifetime experience. . .a lotta things I didn realize, those tat completely missed my notice abt myself, abt ppl around me, all came 2 me, my perceptions of certain things took a 180 degrees turn. . .better late than never I'd say. . .there was a lotta sharing, grp activities, individual ones too, all had a purpose n all gave me answers 2 questions I asked n 2 those I didn. . .d memories of d ppl at d camp, d classes, d food, late night chats, DC n antakshari, d activities n ofcourse, d two month old pup donut :) :) :) , I'll cherish all these 4 as long as I live. . .a big thanks 2 Ali, Raja, Asha, Sapna, Kanmani, Nalini n every single person at d camp who made it really spl. . .thanks Ramu. . .thanks Garfield :)

Zindagi dete rahe chaahe kitne bhi sitam,
Kya sab haas haas ke sahoge tum?
Kya kabhi rone ka mann nahi karta?
Kya har baar har zakhm hai bharta?

Hoton par to hai ek hasi,
Par usme bhi jaane kitni hai khushi
Lekin logon se banaakar khaas rishte,
Ban jaate ho unke farishte

Insaaniyat ka badhaakar haath,
Dete ho humdard sa saath
Yeh rishtaa hai khaas zaroor
Ise dosti kehte hai huzur!

Sirf kuch daanton ki kami hai!

4 a tubelight like me, d presence of dear friends is not only a pleasure n a luxury, it's a necessity! They tell me things abt myself I didn know, didn realize, denied even. . .ya, 4 my level of self awareness, God I need such ppl!. . .my friends, philosophers, guides, ego boosters (oh big tym!), teachers, my 'crushometers'! N it's amazin how they've brought out d best in me, yes, they didn jus c it, they BROUGHT it out. . .pull it out fm depths it'd been pushed into, deliberately n otherwise. . .they give meanin n direction 2 my life, make me think (read as RITS- Ramya Induced Thinking Syndrome!) abt a lotta things tat missed my notice. . .thanks ain't big enuf a word ppl. . .

N there's d other side. . .I have sumwhere been unfair 2 them, very unfair. . .they're a part of my life, but how much do they know abt it? I was aware of dis even before, never gave it much thot, now another short circuit, another RITS goin on in d head, I don wanna leave dis world an 'unknown' person, literally so 2 speak. . .ppl have d right 2 know me n they've d right 2 know d person they've dun so much 4. . .they will, tat's a promise, n I'll fulfil it. . . I need jus a li'l tym, startin trouble U c, but it's gonna happen, I'll make it happen, tat's a promise. . .

Log kehte hain ki yeh kalyug hai. . .aur har mazhab ke granth mein, har shastron mein likha hai ki is kalyug mein ek farishta, ek maseeha aayega, Bhagwaan ka is dharti par doosra janam, vagera vagera. . .kuch log is baat ko maante hai, kuch is par vishwas nahi karte. . .lekin main naahi is par vishwas karti hoon, par maine Bhagwaan ke doosre avtaar ko dekha hai, ekdum Jesus ki tarah. . .dikhne mein daaddi mooch ke saath, gora rang, lamba kad, bacchon si muskuraahat. . .aur unke karam, ek tarah se karishma hi karte hain. . .logon se baatein karte, unke dil ke zakhmon ko bharte hai, unhe jeena ki vajah dete hai. . .maano ek jadoo ki chhadi le kar sab ko theekh karte hai. . .haan, lekin woh insaan hain, koi jaadugar nahi. . .apni lagan se bina chhuye logon ki madad karte aur unke dilon ko is tarah chhute hai ki insaan dang reh jaata hai. . .yeh aadmi ya to Bhagwaan ke roop mein insaan hai, ya phir insaan ke roop mein Bhagwaan. . .

Ek baat ka dukh to hamesha rahega. . .duniya mein kahi log inhe jaanenge, lekin unhe kareeb se jaanane ka bhagya kabhi nahi hoga mujhe. . .sab ki madad karte hain, lekin unki taaqat kaun hain, main nahi jaan paayoongi. . .khair, ek meethe sapne ki tarah, ek sundar haaqeeqat ki tarah, unhe hamesha apni yaadon mein, apne dil mein sanjhoye rakhoongi. . .
