Traffic Signals

"Let's drive and explore oneself " I said to myself and without a second thought I was on my way, my sub conscious mind was taking me.

More likely it is as similar to our life, we all think we want to reach some where, we want to go some where and unknowingly we start following the path our sub conscious is leading to

But like everyday it took me to some unexpected way and made me stop by a traffic signal.

Few cars, the not so cool headed auto drivers and behind them stands me and my bike with the same thought I am on drive exploring something.

Suddenly I heard baby girl giggling in the car beside me took taking that exploring thought from me for awhile.

Sparkling eyes, tiny dimples and movement of her hands while laughing just bringing out the word innocence in visuals.

Suddenly, Horn of the vehicles overlapped the sound of laughter 

And I can see the  Cars and Auto drivers have gone out of my sight and the green light popping in front of me.

I realised I was blocking the traffics and immediately started following the path shown by the map of my mind.

I m going to explore myself I repeated again

But there must be something wrong with the navigation system of my mind

"Not again" , I yelled 

And here I was stuck again in the traffic between the giant city bus and an auto rickshaw behind me. 

And there I saw a beautiful girl eagerly waiting for the signal to turn green but word "beautiful" would sound less beautiful in front of her.

"There is nothing wrong with my navigation system its working perfect"

I said thanking myself.

And followed her with the green signal of traffic light. But I guess she would have been a racer's daughter. She was out of sight and I was out of the track I was going.

A thought popped my mind :

"You were going to explore yourself, right?" Keeping me wandered where was I going.

And it's not easy to get back on the track after you get lost. And Likewise came the third traffic signal which was the pay off for me to get back on the track.

Bang!!! 

And silence was struck by the sound 

There was a motorcycle which just got in to an accident with auto rickshaw. Arguments followed the arguments and people around gathered the victims trying to sort the matter like some judge of a Supreme Court.

And on the other side was me looking to the crowd gathered ignoring the green signal and the thought of going on a drive to explore myself.

"Come out from the lost world, you crazy fellow" I guess that's exactly would have said by my vibrating cell phone if it could speak.

"Come fast we need to leave" said my friend from the other side.And This ended the plan of going on drive exploring my thoughts or rather say myself to status failed.

Don't you think this is the same way the things happen in our life. We desire to reach some where, We will to explore oneself but then comes some traffic signals in our life, making us lost in the traffic, making us wander where were we going, taking us off the track

That day I couldn't explore myself,

But I did got the reason why I couldn't,

I couldn't reach the place I started my drive for,

But I did learned what path to follow when you set off a journey.

Traffic is just a distraction

Mere thing is to focus on the signal

And be on the right track.

" नक़ाब "

Hum din ko raat banate hain,

Ek daud hum khudse lagate hain,

Iss Haseen mile ye chehre pe

Hum kai Nakkab lagate hain..

Nakkal ko hum Asal main badal ke

Kai raaz hum sabse Chupate hain..

Roz roz hum iss chehre pe

Ek Nakkab naya lagate hain..

Koi dekha de apna asli chehra

Hum jutha uss e batate hain..

Uss Sach ko piche chupa kar hum

Ek Nakkab juth ka lagate hain..

Koi aayna dikha de agar

Hum rishta uss se bhulate hain..

Uss ee kasoorvar therake ke hum

Ek nakkab sarafat ka lagate hain..

Ye padhkar jo kuch soch uthe

Wo "Hum" sabd nibhate hain...

"Hum" roz roz ye chehre pe

Ek Nakkab naya lagate hain..
