In a race to get the tag of a "good listener" for everyone, may be, not necessarily but may be you missed being one for whom you learned it at first place.

As we stand at this point with multiple paths analysing the best one for oneself yet fearing the changing scenarios, my gaze blurs with a mix of sadness.
The path ahead may be a tangled mess of thorns, but may our unwavering courage become warrior, picking its way through with grit.
Some paths may collide,I would embrace those with open arms and for the paths that would never meet I pray and wish the happiest,calmest and the most peaceful success ahead.

We squint towards the finish line, a blurry mirage through the fog of doubt.
But hope, that stubborn friend, refuses to let go, clinging on with a fierce tear in its eye.
The path? A tangled mess of thorns, but courage, ever the warrior, picks its way through, bearing the scratches with gritted teeth.
Hope's thread may fray, but it hasn't snapped.
We fight on, for even the darkest nights can't hold back the dawn forever.
A brand new day, a fresh start, waits just beyond the horizon.

*Its a different feeling altogether ...I miss the child in me....I still remember the excitement I had as a kid to celebrate diwali running around for mitti to cover my sweet home...decorating it in every way possible..collecting twigs with leaves to make a broom to clean it..and finally putting diyas on the day of diwali....nostalgia hits hard here...I miss those little hands of mine covered with mud ..my dress all messed up but still the contentment and brightness in the smile said it all that how happy I was to showcase the little art of mine to the world*_

The 1st time u feel that u are being taken for granted..shoo away the feeling because most probably u are overthinking
The 2nd time u feel that way chase it away again because the person may be really engaged in his/her life.
The 3rd time u feel the same ..just ignore the feeling because its ok...it happens...
The 4th & 5th time try to reach out on your own...and if you find the person is at fault for making u feel that way....
darling have some SELF RESPECT...leave the person howsoever important he/she is and MOVE ON....and do not blame yourself neither let anybody else do that...PEACE

है हम सब भगवान के गुलाम साधो !
गुलामी में अभिमान कैसा?
पग पग में किसी और का राज ,
फिर भी नाक में अहंकार कैसा ?
कठपुतली की तरह हमारी डोर ऊपर वाले के हाथ में,
फिर भी सीने में चौड़ कैसी?
मिलेंगे एक दिन मिट्टी में ही चाहे हो गरीब या हो आमिर ,
फिर वाणी में यूँ घमंड कैसी?

Things got better,
Heart ache was reduced.
Understandings got better,
Expectations were reduced.
Life became blissful,
Relationships became trustful.
The world changed for me,
And it did change for the good.

तो क्या फिर भी हालात ऐसे होते?
क्या फिर भी जज्बात यूँ नासाज़ होते?

तुम्हारे जाने से तस्वीरें बदल गईं, तक़्दीरें बदल गईं।
कुछ यूँ कहे की रिश्तों की परिभाषा बदल गई ।
अपनेपन का अहसास खत्म हो गया।
जीवन का आश खत्म हो गया ,
आगे बढ़ने का प्रयास खत्म हो गया।
तुम्हारे पास न होने से सब खत्म हो गया।

यहाँ रातें जख्म हरा कर देती हैं और दीवारें काटने को दौड़ती हैं ।
हर ओर पसरा सनाटा दिल में एक भीड़ उत्पन्न कर देती है
और रात का अँधेरा मन में भी एक काली खौफ को जन्म दे जाती है।।
और यहाँ लोग मुझे सामान्य मनुष्य का दर्जा देते हैं!
एक पागल को समझदार करार देते हैं !!
