Shadow of Life

Sometimes you make a fool of yourself believing things that were never true. I sense love in today’s world is just limited to having someone by your side so that one can say yes he/she has someone. But in real sense they are poles apart when they used to be. They both think differently and oppose each other on every subject matter yet stick together just to make themselves prove this is what they need. And when they actually realize what has happened damage is already done. People try to believe what they always heard of the other one rather than judging those things from time to time, to know, whether it relates to the real world or not. It never occurs to them until one day the truth has been spoken. As by that time his/her priorities has changed and they don’t feel that much attached. Even then that blind faith still hopes for some miracle to take place, to make everything alright, to change things that have been said. Being a believer you never try to question what all ha...

Well, I'm not one of those who just write a review, but then this book requires one I think so. When I started this book I was thinking that I don't want to read another typical love story (though I have read all his other books). So I just wished me luck and started reading it. Even first few pages took me by surprise and as I moved on, it was a roller coaster ride full of overriding emotions. I usually take time to read books as I love going through the depth of book by slowly taking them in my world but completed this one in one go.  The best thing about the book is its story line and obviously the characters because even if the story is good and the characters are not portrayed well you cannot connect much with them. Here, everything is in total synchronization, be it emotions, social responsibility or situation handling issues. I will not call it a love story because it is not. It is more about social issues, your own self, situation that you come across in your ...

Days are passing by and so the time, But one thing is coming closer. Thoughts are running away and so the fear, But one thing is always near. Love is going on and so the friendship, But one thing is far from its trip. Process is working and so the calculations, But one thing is beyond its result. Music is loud and so the noise, But one thing is very low. Stars are shining and so the moon, But one thing is brightest. Clock is moving and so its pendulum, But one thing is still. Rainbow is colorful and so the flowers, But one thing is splendour. Everyone is fine and so me, But one thing is at its best.           "HOPE"

Use dekh kar laga na tha Wo bhi ghabra jata hai Un andheri raato me Uska dil bhi saham jata hai Hoti hai taqleef use dekhkar Lekin khuda pe vishawsh kam nhi hai Bas yahi soch ke badh jate hai aage Aaj din uska hai to kya hua Duniya me kho ke jeene wale bhi kam nhi hai

Don't go out of my sight, I'll be a helpless confidant then. Don't go far out of my hold, I'll forget the touch of your hand. These days will be missed, where we saw blossoming flowers. Old world will shatter, because of your departure. Days where we were innocent, Days where we lost our motions. Days where we were spelled by our voices. Days where we didn't know how to define arrivals. All emotions will come to a halt, Taken aback by this very specific thought. Though we met in a hurry, Life still gave us chance. And now memories gonna play, a stereotypic romance.....

It began in summers, Behind the sunny afternoons. It paced in spring, Amidst those rainy evenings. Apparently we consumed it whole, When emotions turned wild. Nobody knew what’s gonna happen, Yet desire to survive. Stronger it grew, In those little stages. Bloomed itself, After crispy lovely fights. One fine day, A confession appeared. Being trivial, Someone didn’t cared. Years long charm, Seems at stake. Decision is anonymous, Either say yes or fake.

Mehfooz hu main is jaha me jaha tera shor sunai deta hai, Badalo k beech jaha chand dikhai deta hai. Do pal ke liye jab tham gaya tha ye sama, Aaj wahi mohak roop dikhai deta hai. Karwate badlata ye mausam le aata hai teri yaadein, Suraj angdai lete huye pass aata dikhai deta hai. Naam tera basta hai meri saanso me, Na jaane kyo tu door dikhai deta hai. Ankahi baate seene me dabi hak kuch aise, Apna banakar ek dard dikhai deta hai. Waqt ke musafir tum bhi rahe the mere sath, Meetha ehsaas fir pyara dikhai deta hai. Vaado ke beech jaha nanhi si muskaan thi, Ashq wahi ab jharna dikhai deta hai. Fir bhi... Mehfooz hu main is jaha me jaha tera shor sunai deta hai, Badalo ke beech jaha chand dikhai deta hai. 

Between you and me, started a bond. A thread of love, In shapeless form. Between you and me, Life emerged. An ocean of care, With infinite prayer. Between you and me, emotion turned. A word of promise, To pacify crush. Between you and me, Distance disappeared. A sign of relief, For peaceful sleep. Between you and me, I got a clue. An indicator of mischief, In a shaded mirror. Between you and me, craziness happened. A spark of touch, With lots of blush. Between you and me, Two hearts met. A symbol of affinity, That got its share. That got its share between you and me.

Well what happiness is ?? It is when you are on the way to home and your mom-dad waits for you till late night. It is when your dad comes early to spend time with you. It is when your mom stay awake to chat with you even when she has to wake up early next day. It is when every morning you get up with your dad's hand on your forehead. It is when your mom asks what you want to eat. It is when you ask your dad for something and he says everything I own is your sweetheart. It is when your mom asks you n number of times about your meals. It is when you go shopping with your mom and see her enjoying it. It is when you bought something for everyone and they like it the very moment it is opened. It is when your dad is upset because he is going on a business trip and will not be able to stay until you are here. It is when you try to placate him that it is ok and you understand his situation. It is when your brother gives 1/3rd of his pocket money even after you shopped a lot. ...

I'm flying over the cloud,  A sign of inner peace.  Day is brighter and night, brightest,  Still no significance of plea.  Ah! There I got the autumn,  Shedding its beautiful leaves.  Arrogant wind and spicy weather,  Where togetherness is all they seek. Playing around the flock of birds, I saw one, chirping too much. Went into a memory returned long back, Holder of an emotion, I used to clutch. Turned aside to take a look, Cleared my vision when saw squirrel's sigh. Glee, the only expression of my eyes, A bond which leaves me freaking high. Never knew this glory before, Mysterious traits were following the flies. All I got a clip, Amidst the garden where a rose lies. Down the lane storm was raging, Indelible effects left at lower sash. Happening of a moment still to arrive, Creating addiction with lots of hash. Droplets falling makes me crazy, Another exotic moment found, to share. A clue to enter the world, Had a bridge of rainbow right there...

Slowly went away,   Love from my hand.   Not a single unit left,   From the pile of sand.   Every second I hurt myself,   And pain fills my heart.   Why did I do it? Watching moments burn.   I just made the way,   To doubt me for a reason.   I was unconscious,   Nowhere being this can happen.   I fought to keep him around,   Revert back was stroke of confusion.   He was silent as storm running,   But clueless as I, stones facing.   I tried to calm,   And then things were different.   Don't tell me the way,   Ain't I was nothing?   Mistake was mine,   But no reward for confession.   As usual he kept quiet,   Making move was my turn.   Pushed myself up,   Close to his heart.   There I saw a way,   To get back the species apart.   I was mad, I was dumb,   As I said nobody could ever get.   Yet I looked in his...

The night came to a dwelling end, everything was silent. Thorny bushes blocking my way, leaving more scars; darkness all around, whispering something. Saw a path full of ferns, a sign of ignorance.  Someone is calling my name. I know that, I remember, but unable to recognize. Again that voice came, now it's making me anxious and I'm afraid. Someone wants to t alk to me, wants me to be cool, to listen, to handle it. Oh yeah, I know this voice. It is instinct, my instinct. Murmurs are all around, everyone talking about me like I came from some other planet. And yes I'm, from that planet which yet to be discovered and acquired by immune things. I'm suffering, I don't understand why. Is it too hard to change one's surviving area? I want to open my eyes but I can't. I want to make myself strong and I'm but everything is far and distant, not in my hold. This world doesn't belong to me; everything is scary, strange and mysterious. From where can I get...
