खुद की तलाश

कुछ वक्त गुमनामी ही सही, भूल जा ज़माना ,औऱ खुद की तलाश कर।

भटकता रहा जो दर-बदर शोरगुल के पीछे, 

थोड़ा रुक और खुद की खामोशी से बात कर।

नज़रो ने देखे हैं तेरी , हैवानियत के किस्से,

आंखों से धूल हटा, और इंसानियत का आगाज़ कर।

चंद लम्हे जुटा ले खुशियों के तू,

भीड़ का खिलौना ना बन, मुस्कुराहट की बौछार कर।

इल्म बहुत है ना , तुझे तेरे वजूद का,

अंधेरो को उनका रास्ता दिखा, रौशनी को ना नाराज़ कर।

कितना जिएगा अब औऱ, झूठी शान में,

ये ज़मी तेरी अपनी है, इसे और तो ना ख़ाक कर।

बाहों में भर ले इंसानियत को, बेड़ियाँ लगा दे हैवानियत पर,

दोज़ख़ बनी ज़मी, अब तो ज़न्नत कर।

सरहदे ज़रूर बनाई है हमने, फिर भी मोहब्बत फैला दुनिया मे,

हिफाज़त का ताबीज़ बन कर।

And then they met

She looked around, it was dark and everyone was sleeping. She moved and her body creaked. She coughed lightly, making sure nobody gets disturbed.

“No one should wake up.” She thought

She wanted to get out of the house in the empty street and cry her heart out but she knew this was not possible. No one would let her go outside even in day time, night was out of discussion. After all, it’s only two days since she lost the dearest of her life in a tragic road accident.

The pain was so unbearable. Her spirit was broken down and bleeding. The anguish and sense of loss has taken over every single emotion.

Rishab and Jyotsana met in the college 4 years back. If one could define the term love at first sight their story would have been the best example for it, but just like any regular Bollywood masala there was the right amount of family drama. Their family opposed their relationship in every possible way. Lectures about caste, society and family values everything was tried but they never

backed out. Eventually, after one whole year of ups and down their family agreed. They won the war of love.

When they got engaged, they knew they were almost there to their final destination. Living the rest of their life as a husband and wife and spending every single day looking and holding each other.

Destiny always has a plan of its own.

A week after their engagement she got to know that Rishab was no more. All her dreams of togetherness were shattered in a car accident. Now she was left with memories and sorrow. A promise of always and forever was broken.

She slowly walked towards the door making sure no one would guess and somehow she managed to get out of the house without being noticed. The road was dark and empty. She kept walking and slowly tears escaped her eyes. With every step she took, the tears were more violent. And there she was screaming and crying her heart out. Her tears didn’t stop until she was hit by a car and she bleeds till her last breath.

There were flowers all over and the sky was gloomy. She looked around, she was all alone. Soon, she realized that someone was standing behind her. She turned and there he was standing in white shirt and blue denim.

“You must walk more carefully next time you are on the road.” Rishab said.

She looked at him and stated,” You must drive more carefully next time you are on the road.”

In a fraction of second their lips were locked and their eyes were flowing.

Love....and the calculations

A love stuck, that’s what I am. However, the girl I am fighting for is no longer in a relationship with me. If life is funny then love is certainly a clown. Deep down, we knew this will have no future and soon we started to believe it.

Fools! Aren’t we.

I am sure she loves me and I am also sure that she knew that I love her but we were getting vulnerable every day because somewhere we knew this will never work. We even counted various reasons why this will not work. Two calculative assholes!

We met, we cried and we said goodbye.

Months started passing by. The time was tough and unbearable. I tried to convince myself and every time my heart said,” Just fuck off! I really know what you want.” And I always end up with a poker face.

A few months after that I found her in the metro. She was sitting in front of me.  Our eyes met and then they were wet. In no time we were crying in eachother's arm, hugging each other tightly.

Yeah, No body hooted or clapped which made the entire situation awkward.  But now we know we were thinking way too much. You don’t think when you love, you just love. There are no calculations and there are no logics.

Yes, you don't give up on love and deep down I always knew I was not fighting for a dead cause.

Be With Me .....It's back!!

You know the most stupid thing one can do is to leave behind the things which made them, you can simply call refer them as “Jerks”. Here I’m bringing out one of the greatest jerk of all time… Ladies and Gentleman put your hand together for ME.

I have been really outspoken about my aspiration and desires for writing in almost every interview of mine. My journey as a child who was afraid to share his work in a concern of being judged to a writer who was a rated among the Top 50 bloggers in India and subsequently moved on to pen down a book was like a dream. I just never expected it to happen so fast. I may not be talented enough but surely I was very fortunate. Jai mata di.

I don’t need to tell you how good it felt because you know it but then I never realized when everything slipped away from my hands. It’s a happy day for me as SNAPPY THOUGHTS is finally going live again so I will not write what actually occurred and why I wasn’t writing. Let bygones be bygones forever.

With a hope that my readers still remember me, I promise you that this time I’m back and I am not going anywhere. In case some of you have forgotten my work then I will make sure that my work will again make a place in your life and will stay there as long as the entire human race survives.  (Ok, the last part was a bit dramatic.)

I will not alter the look of my website because we will begin from the position where we exactly left each other and this time it will be a never ending journey. I don’t leave you and hope you will stay with me.

I need your support and for that I need to win back your heart. After that we will find out if my name can again be named among the top bloggers in India. Even if it doesn’t happen again but please be with me.

Break-up to Make-up

A blemished relationship is the most hazardous thing one can have in their life. It’s better to have no relationship rather than having a spoilt one. But then no relation means, no loved ones. No matter how much we curse, no matter how much we fight but if it’s a true love than there is no way we can stay apart. Practicality and logics, you can go to hell.

Call it amateurish, bond or whatever you want to but then even a contemplation of break-up is tormenting. After all, true love is all about being vulnerable and surrendering yourself.

Love is a bond which ties two heart or may be, just may be it’s a disorder which makes us weak, as we are not strong enough to part away or to live alone.

So, here are some ground rules that I've laid down for myself when fighting with my loved ones:

  

   v  Silence kills, it is the most annoying thing according to me. Whatever it is, just talk it out rather than suppressing it. Someday, it will burst like a volcano, destroy everything and will leave no scope of reunion. Remember, whenever you speak your mind, there will be a clash, one more fight but that would be the last one and after that there will be love and only love.

Talk about your problems and issues and give your partner a fair chance to understand you in a better way. So, just talk it out. Unless, you are drunk, of course.

   v  Before saying anything ruthless, just remember that you are confronting the person you admire and love the most, you can’t afford to lose them.

   v  Don’t divert from the objective. Focus on the present topics rather than pulling out topics from the past between the fight, it will do nothing good except to complicate the whole thing. Try not to give references from the past. So, just let bygones be bygones.

   v  Don’t take your partner for granted. Never ever in your wildest dream try to think that you can say anything or do anything with your partner and he/she will take it. Never forget your partner may walk away if you are crossing your limits. Love is not about being a punching bag or a full time slave.

   v  You may never know but your gesture and posture, may be intimidating. Don’t push your partner or point finger or stomp towards him/her.  That’s rude and scary. So, always check your body language.

   v  Listen. Listen what your partner is trying to say. Atleast, give him/her a chance to explain. Don’t do all the talking by yourself. May be your understanding is partially or may be completely wrong. Just because you think it’s wrong, it doesn’t mean that it’s actually wrong.So, listen to your partner for once atleast without being judgmental.

अनकही बाते

   By Mayank                                  

                                         अनकही बाते

होंठ बोले ना बोले 

 आँखें बोल जाती है।

इस छोटे से दिल में छुपी 

जितनी कहानी हैं।

कभी आँखों से बोलती 

तो कभी साँसों से बोलती 

फिर भी दिल छुपा पाए 

तो धड़कने है बोलती।

है ये अनकही बातें
है प्यार तो समझ जाओगे।
है ये दिल की बातें
है एहसास तो समझ जाओगे।

कभी छुने से पता चले
तो कभी चूमने से पता चले।
बात जो दिल की है
वो रग-रग बयाँ करे।

कभी मुस्कराहट से बोलती
तो कभी आँसुओं से बोलती।
फिर भी दिल छुपा पाए
तो आहटों से बोलती।

है ये अनकही बातें
है प्यार तो समझ जाओगे।
है ये दिल की बातें
है एहसास तो समझ जाओगे।

The Celebration Of Love

by Mayank

This is the moment we waited for

Just you and me, no other trace of living things

Seldom will we get this opportunity

Let’s live this moment, like never before

Your lips are soft and wet

Still I feel warm kissing it

My hands are thirsty and warm

Still you are shivering with every touch of it.

Your long black hair compliments your flawless skin

Your lips on me and my hands on you

It’s a sensuous ecstasy and a way to heaven

This temptation is rising and we are on cloud number nine.

Me over you and you over me, crushing each other

Right now this merger is our ultimate destination

Let’s reprise our love like no one ever did

This is not just a love making, it’s a celebration of love.

My Priced Possession

By Mayank

 The sea looks so beautiful

The sky looks so blue

This world seems so pleasant

When I am with you.

I have no necessities

When I have you.

When you hold my hand

I find tranquility.

When you kiss my lips

I find solace.

Our love is a gift of almighty

And we must not squander it.

You are my priced possession

And I don’t wanna lose it.

GUIDING ANGEL

By Mayank

The clock stop ticking
My heart stop beating
When I saw your face for the first time
I was not sure
Was it really you
Or an angel?
Who was coming for me
To hold my hand 
And to guide me towards the brightness
The brightness of love and solace.

Our Own Way

By Mayank

We have our own way

Don’t push us to be a rule's slave.

We have our own style

Don’t teach us what is traditional.

We want to run

We want to fly

Let us fall once

We’ll stand on our own

And shall learn form our mistakes.

CONFUSED EMOTIONS

Life looks like a beautiful dream, when your fantasy becomes reality. You feel like the world is at your feet.You feel like the happiest person in the whole world. But when the fantasy gets over, it leaves you with a confused emotion of ecstasy and woe. The happiness of sweet memories and sadness of the fact that, now it’s a past. It’s really difficult to opt for any single emotion.

May be it will not happen in the future or in the near future or may be time will replicate itself or may be time will replicate itself in a much better way. It’s on us whether to opt for the gloomy part or the cheery part. We design our own happiness.

STAY HAPPY :)

IN THE MOON LIGHT

When the wind blows

and sun bids good bye

I see your face 

In the moon light

You came walking towards me

smiling in your red gown

We embraced each other

I feel your warm body

and our heart matches their beats

You took my touch with pride

as if its a crown

I stroke your hair

and you pulled me hard

We kissed We touched

In the bed we were tied

Tied with the bond of love

Never took our eyes away

Never took our hands away

Then I tighten my hold

You started breathing harder

You warm breath stroked my chest

and then that whole night

we didn't rest

I THOUGHT I WOULD

I THOUGHT I WOULD

I thought I would love her

I thought I would talk to her

I thought I would sit by her side

And I thought I would hold her hand whole night.

But then I said something which she didn't understand 

And then I teased her for something, I thought she smiled

Don't know what happen to her after that

She was silent and just replying to my questions

Then she said she wanted to sleep, not to talk

And it was a jolt for me

I asked her if she was ok

She said she was ok, just wanted to sleep

The harshness in her voice told me

that something was wrong

I asked and I don't know when

Things went out of control

We fought We shouted

And then she said good night

I wondered what was my fault?

I am no god

How can I know everything?

If I can say whats wrong then why can't she?

She should have told me what was wrong

Then I would not have done such thing

I never want to hurt her

Now I am laying in shock

After seeing how the event turned

From love to fight

I need your love, I need your mercy

I wish we could understand each other well

Is this what happens in love?

Sometimes you smile, sometimes you curse

But I know one thing

Fight or no fight

Understanding or no understanding

Deep down inside I'll always love her.

IN HEART OF YOURS!

 IN HEART OF YOURS! <3

You can see me in the horizon

If you want to

When the sun will be saying bye

You will see my face there

When the birds will be returning home

In their voice, you will find my message

Then the wind will blow

It will swing your hairs

You will feel my touch in that

Then close your eyes, take a deep breath

You will feel my presence

Then ask your heart where I am

You will find me standing in front of you

I will smile and say here I am in heart of yours <3

NO THINKER NO EINSTEIN: I JUST WANNA BE ME

Let me play

Let me be a game

I wanna be a clay

Flexing and taking different shapes

I don't wanna be a sheep

who'll follow a path

No thinker No enistein

I just wanna be me.

Let me fly

Let me be a bird

I'll do things on my term

Moving and seeing different places

I don't wanna be an ideal child

With side parted hair and dressed formal style

No thinker No enistein

I just wanna be me.

Let me live

Let me be myself

Don't put me in a science lab

I'll do experiments in a lab called life

I don't wanna be a scientist who invent

I just wanna discover myself

No thinker No enistein

I just wanna be me.

MUSKIL SE MILA THA, AAJ FIR SE KHO GAYA

In bad times we go through hell and at the end we are shattered but just like after every night,morning comes, every bad time is followed by good time. The world again becomes a good place to live and we live happy. But the biggest irony is after every good time ,bad time comes and we are lost again.

"मुश्किल से  मिला था आज फिर से खो गया"

 मुश्किल से मिला था मैं खुद को  

आज फिर से खो गया।

सोचा ढूँढू फिर से मैं खुद को 

पर मुझे मेरा कोई निशान न मिला। 

गया शीशे के सामने जब खुद को देखने 

तो मुझे बस मेरा शरीर  दिखा।

हूँ हैरान मैं खुद को देख के 

हैं जब साँसे नहीं तो फिर आसूँ  हैं मेरे निकले कैसे ?

चल नहीं रही जब धड़कने मेरी 

तो इस दिल में दर्द हैं कैसे ?

 अब ढूँढू मैं खुद को कहा 

आज मुझसे मेरा पता खो गया।

 मुश्किल से मिला था मैं खुद को 

आज फिर से खो गया।

KHWABON KE PARINDEY

Everyone wants to fly and search for their undiscovered dreams and love, but sometimes we are really strict for our self. Sometimes we dismiss a dream saying its impossible and sometimes we do not allow anybody to come close to us because we think he/she may hurt us (but, yes we should sometimes trust our instinct).

Do we ever realize that the boundaries we create are actually the only obstruction between our self and our dreams & love.

So let your birds fly and "discover your life and yourself."

                                KHWABON KE PARINDEY    

                                              ख्वाबों के परिंदे 

ख्वाबों के परिंदे को उड़ जाने दो 

दिल खोल इन हवाओ को खुद  में समां जाने दो।

ना आने दो उन्हें जो दिल को पहुचाएँ चोट 

मत रोको आने से उन्हें जिनके नाम से ही मुस्कुराते हैं होंठ।

जब दिल खोलोगे तो पता चलेगा कौन हैं अपना 

जब पंख फैलाओगे तब पता चलेगा क्या हैं सपना।

ख्वाबों के परिंदे को उड़ जाने दो 

नयी नयी जगह उसे देख आने दो।

ना आने दो उन्हें जो दे जाये आँसू 

मत रोको उन्हें जो दिल को कर जाये बेकाबू।

जब आँख मिलाओगे तो जानोगे किसमे हैं तुम्हारा सपना 

जब हाथ मिलाओगे तो जानोगे एहसास जो हैं अपना।

FROM HEART WITH LOVE

Happy Love Week and A Very Happy Valentines Day (in advance or depends when you are reading this). Since it is a love week so it is obvious that this update is all about love.
We all wish our love stay happy and safe forever because we cannot afford to see him/her sad and we do not want to lose them forever. Gosh! the thought of losing love it self is breath taking.
This is not a hardcore love poem, it is all about what you wish and what you pray for your love "from heart with love."

                           FROM HEART WITH LOVE

I wish I see your face

Everyday I wake up.

I will wonder how you manage to look so good

Without any make up

I don't know I'll be there with you everyday

Or may be I'll go in sky one day.

No matter where I am

I want to see you safe and healthy.

This I pray from my heart with love

I want you to stay the way you are

Cheerful and bubbly that's how you are.

You smile I smile, You cry I cry

You stop but I don't until your teardrop gets dry.

Holding you is my only relaxation

Feeling your breath is the ultimate sensation.

No matter where I am

I want to see you smiling and happy.

This I wish from my heart with love

RAAH PATA NAHI

Everyone wants to fly everyone wants to rule but not everyone knows "How to". Many do not know their path, they just walk somewhere with illusion in their eyes which leads them to nowhere.They do what they are asked to do as a result they cry they curse and they feel lost in life.
In short they just "do not know their path".

         RAAH PATA NAHI

            राह पता नहीं।

जाना है दूर पर राह का पता नहीं
जो रास्ता दुसरो ने बताया वो अब तक जँचा  नहीं।
फिर भी बढ़ रहा हूँ उसी राह पर

क्यूंकि खुद की राह का कुछ पता नहीं।

इन राहों पर काटे बहुत हैं
इतनी मशक्कत करने की चाहत नहीं।
इस राह पर आखें भी बंद नहीं कर सकता
पर सोने की आदत अभी तक गयी नहीं।

मंजिल तो पता हैं मुझे
पर उसका फायदा क्या हैं?
और जिस राह पर चल रहा हूँ
उससे मुझे कोई आशा कहाँ हैं।

छोटे छोटे कदम बढ़ा कर बढ़ रहा हूँ
काँटों पे चलते चलते अब थोड़ा थक सा गया हूँ।
फिर भी बढ़ रहा हूँ उसी  राह पर
क्यूंकि खुद की राह का कुछ पता नहीं।
