New year, New lessons

It was almost 8 p.m and I couldn't find any work that could make the clock go faster.

"I don't want to stay here and read those happy new year status, posted in same old fashioned way on facebook" I said, deciding to go for a drive and thinking that the city must be enlightened with joy and smiles of the people all around.

There is always a second thought waiting in queue to debate with the first thought

"What if the idea of driving to city happened to be boring ?" Debated my thoughtful mind.

"But it would not be as boring as sitting in this room and browsing through social media"  I gave a second thought and rushed out of that room to explore the city.

The City was decorating their houses to welcome the new beginning, the glitters, the lights, the smiles on people's face enlightening their beauty.

You can just keep seeing, you need to observe, and When you observe you see something that others can't see.

Amidst all the decorated houses, I saw a small house having an iron gate. A father pouring oil in to small lamp and his child who was curiously looking at him.

With a little friction and the mighty match stick, he gave light of lamp to his house.

"Happy New Year" he said picking up his child, smiling and taking him inside the house.

Freezing wind, glowing lights and glitters,

"How would the lamp survive to keep glowing?" I wanted to ask the man but I guess nature wanted to answer this question itself. power went off though for 2 minutes but it did gave me my answer.

The Answer that can be the most important lesson of life.

"Lamp might be nervous standing between the brightest of the light in the city and facing the freezing wind.

And that's what we are the "Lamps"

Standing between brightest people in the world facing some of the worst situation life putting forward to use

The Power off took away all the brightness on the street but the lamp was still glowing  cutting away the darkness around it.

The Darkest hour brings out the brightest side in you.

Just like that lamp glowed in the dark cutting the darkness around it

So will we, stand still, face the wind and respect the brighter side because if you managed to fight that brightness , you will be definetly glowing in darkness

Be a proud lamp

And one day you'll definitely be a champ.

Happy New Year 😊

Kuch baate, kuch mulakate

Kuch purani baato se mulakat ho gai,

Mulakat se yaad ki fir se barsaat ho gai,

Muskura rahi thi ye aankhe,

Aur dil ki ye aankho se fariyad ho gai...

Bheeg ke in yaado me tum muskura rahi ho,

Kyu dard apne andar ka, mujme chupa rahi ho,

Bicha kar muskurahate un pyari si palko pe,

Kyu tum mujko rula rahi ho...

Fariyad apni jata kar, aankho ko usne rulaya,

Roti aankhe sang is dil se kuch or yaado ko bulaya,

Roo kar aankhe bol uthi,

Sawal ka jawab khol uthi,

Kyu tu yaado ko lata he,

Lakar unko sehlata he,

Agar bardasth nai kar sakta,

To kyu tu unko bulata he,

Main muskurati hu tera dard chipane ko,

Ghabharati hu duniya ko vo batane ko,

Kahi ye nami fir na aa jae,

Aasu ban palko se, yaade fir na beh jae...

Behti yaade dekh aankhe fir nam ho gai,

Kuch purani baato se mulakat ho gai...

A Guy and A Bully

"There must be a reason"

I told myself when I saw those two children from distance away on my way to my room, 

Before I could think more or say predict more horns started banging my ears to move away and keep guessing.

But when a child on bicycle fell down I couldn't resist myself to stop and look by what in this small world was going on there, before I could reach there his lines caught my ears

"Why did you pushed me off the bicycle?" He asked to the guy standing like a bully in front of him. 

"Why were you laughing at that time? He said firing some extra words 

"You fool asking me why are pushing me?"

"But I wasn't the only one who was laughing" the other guy said picking up himself and his cycle 

And added " you just saw me !!"

His eyes were half drowned in the pain he was feeling with the fall he made with his bicycle. 

"You better watch out next time" said the bully guy without caring the truth the other guy just tried to explain him. 

It wasn't the two child fighting with each other because one laughed at the other but it was innocent who became the victim of the anger of some person. 

With the next horn I turned around and saw I was blocking the way of newly owned car by some person but that doesn't change the fact that 

We are always one of the two children in  conversation I saw today, making someone a victim or becoming a victim of someone's anger, convincing them the truth or not listening to the truth they are telling to us, be it your friend, a colleague or your cousin. 

There are times you been a bully for the anger you even don't know what it is about, times when you are the guy who is being pushed from the bicycle, times when you have feel sorry after firing the words like bullets at someone. Neither was the bully guy wrong about him feeling bad of everyone laughing at him nor was the bicycle guy wrong for laughing at him. 

Anger can burn more houses or say relations then a fire can, it needs be in one's control. If you remember any of the person like a bicycle guy whom' truth you haven't heard and let them burn in the fire of your anger then please tell them you are not like that bully guy, you don't want them to walk away like the guy on bicycle with the truth. 

Forget the moment and use the fire to ignite the lamp of joy on journey of our relation. 

A Ray of light

The Traveller

Do I only fear of something or everyone do? I can't ask everyone though.

But I can observe them.

This is what I do every time I travel for a short distance or a long distance..

And here I was going to home again  but this is not my story that would be travelling from Ahmedabad to Jamnagar but story of all the people around me..

Story of dad awaiting to his child

A mother carrying a new born to her house, A group of people going back to their home town.

Does this anything relate to the fear or the story of your life?

Obviously they are the one whom I have just seen or rather say observed a fellow traveller.

Some annoying I wish I had another word for this but don't they know that other people are around and they don't want to listen whom are they talking and what are they talking so loud..but not all are the same you need to look around some are interesting too just like the man sitting at the cross I saw him twice no not twice but more then twice seeing his baby's photo and giving a smile that only a dad can have.. I want to know what is he taking home as a gift for him why do he work so far from home but this bubble of thoughts just got pricked by a cute traveller along with me and by cute I mean by a baby boy just sitting beside me, blowing another bubble of thought about the innocence we lose everyday with time growing up..

This observations led to the thing I wanted to question everyone.

Well I didn't got the answer but they all gave me some points which I need to keep in mind though I would be lost again but I can always remember them and recall these points.

Annoying traveller told if fear is annoying you try to focus on that interesting traveller who is unknowingly making u smile by the smile in his face.. If the smile still raise the thoughts within you prick the thoughts with the needle of innocence still hold by the cute baby traveller inside you.

Fear will remain within you everybody has some or other fear but that shouldn't stop us from travelling to checkpoints leading to the destination.

With fear you will come along some travellers just like you teaching you, answering each and every question of yours. Keep travelling and more importantly keep observing.

Travellers teach you more then your travel do 😊
