Past Present Future

You can never go back to what you were. I can never go back to what I was. Our experiences change us. We evolve mentally, physically and emotionally with time. You need to accept yourself the way you’re now. Don’t think of the past, the things which made you happy. It’s in the past. Those people, those things which used to make you happy, aren’t there anymore. So find happiness in the things, the people you have now. Let bygones be bygones. Focus of present, because your present will shape your future. Always remember this.

Hope

We don’t always get what we want, what we deserve. Not everyone is lucky. I’ve struggled a lot in my life, and I’m still struggling. I had dreams. Big ass dreams. Couldn’t fulfill all of it. Because that’s life. Sometimes we don’t get what we want, so we need to learn to find happiness in what we have. If we are destined to do something big in life, we will do it, when the time is right. There’s a phrase in Hindi, which we need to learn by heart and respect it, “waqt se pehle, aur naseeb se zada kisi ko kuch nahi milta”. I’m not trying to demotivate any of you here. I am just telling you to face the truth. And keep working hard, so that someday you will reach that point in your life where you can actually try to fulfill all your dreams and live your life the way you always wanted to live. Accept the reality, but never lose hope. Hope is what keeps the fire within us, alive.

Never Lose Hope

You’ll fall. You’re supposed to fall. That is inevitable. ‘Sometimes’ you have people around you, who will help you, to get up, but mostly this is not the case. You fall down. You’re hurt. You feel like giving up. But that’s what life is all about. So get used to it. Get used to of falling down and getting hurt. Because that’s how we learn and evolve. And then, you pick yourself up. You guide yourself. You LEARN from your mistakes. Always remember this, “the people you expect to be around, will not always be around, so you need to trust only one person, and that one person is YOU”. When it’s dark, you light your way and guide yourself home. People are temporary. YOU are constant, in your life. Trust yourself. Believe in yourself. No matter how hard it gets, never lose hope.

अगर चाय ना होता तो क्या होता?

अगर चाय ना होता तो क्या होता?
ये भी नही बोल सकता मैं,
के वही होता जो मंज़ूर ए खुदा होता।
क्यूंकि चाय ना होने का इल्जाम
भी अगर खुदा के ऊपर ही डाल दूं,
तो बात कुछ ऐसी हो जाती के
आफिस के वक़्त डेस्क पर अपने
मैं भरी दोपहरी सो रहा होता।
अगर चाय ना होता तो क्या होता?

चाय बिना ज़िन्दगी अधूरी होती।
आधी दुनिया बेवक़्त हर जगह सो रही होती।
फिर सैलरी से सोने के नाम जो
फाइन काटा होता कंपनी ने,
उस बात को लेकर किसी कोने
में जाकर ये जनता रो रही होती।
और आधी आबादी इस दुनिया की,
सरदर्द के burden को अपने
unused भेजे में रख,
उसे हर जगह ढो रही होती।
बिना चाय के ये ज़िन्दगी
अपना मिठास खो रही होती।

अगर चाय ना होता, तो क्या होता?
Actually ना, fuck it.
मैं क्युं ना उसपर Topic divert करुं?
सब तो उसी के नाम पर बकवास करते है।

अगर चाय ना होता तो क्या होता?
अगर चाय ना होता तो क्या होता?
अरे भैया वही होता,
जो मंज़ूर ए खुदा होता।

Zindagi Kaisi Hai – Funny Poem

Jab koi mujhse puchta hai
Ke aur bata bhai, zindagi kaisi hai.

Main bas kehta, aise kahun toh zindagi sexy hai.
Par sach kahun toh aisa lagta zindagi ek khataari taxi hai.

Dost toh kayi hai jo khud ko mera jigri bataate hai.
Par asli dost toh wahi hai jisne lagaayi meri proxy hai.

Waise toh main dikhta kaafi serious kisam ka hoon.
Par agar jhaank ke dekhoge meri zindagi mein,
toh yahi kahoge ke iski life toh ek joke si hai.

Koi relevance nahi, koi kaam nahi,
Zindagi bilkul facebook ke feature poke si hi.

Mohabbat aur mera rishta bikul,
Tu tu main main ki nok jhonk si hai.

Zindagi ye saali meri bilkul,
Jaise ek bohot hi lame joke si hai.
Jaise ek bohot hi lame joke si hai.
