Me: Hello! How are you?
Life: Hi! As you have been with me.
Me: Oh! That’s great. So you are in my own hand.
Life: Yes Of course. You, yourself is the driver of mine.
Me: But sometimes it seems that I am the passenger only and anyone else has steering of you.
Life: No! it’s never like that. It is matter of perception only.
Me: But my birth is independent of me, my upbringing is in other’s hand and then their expectations do guide you for me.
Life: I agree, you got me due to physical union of your biological parents. And up to a certain extent your upbringing is dependent of them. But that is just beginning of mine.
Me: Then I have my to take care of my society, what others think, bla.. bla.. bla..
Life: Here it’s a note of caution, this is a nexus. You had to break it. Did you?
Me: No! How could I?
Life: Just rewind your that period of mine, when you had taken any decision due to other’s wish. Then try to remember the consequences of your that decision.
Me: Yeah my parents and other people were quite happy.
Life: And what about you?
Me: Some sort of.
Life: And try to remember, the happiest moment that you have with me.
Me: Yeah, I do remember. When I listened to my heart only. Even everyone was against to it.
Life: So what did you learn from that?
Me: That I had to follow my heart only.
Life: Now you got it.
Me: But is not so easy every time.
Life: You had only one of me.
Me: It means, being rebellion is the only way to drive you.
Life: It’s not about being rebellion always. The cause of your action should be just.
Me: Who will define just and unjust? The just action of mine may be unjust for someone else. You are confusing me.
Life: There is no scope of confusion. It is quite clear. The just action means, action that does not harm any living being on earth. The just action is that when it do not become cause of sorrow for anyone. Your single cell should not be the part of any such action.
Me: Is it so clear?
Life: Yes it is. You have to understand it.
Me: But I have seen so many people who had always did just action had suffered lot throughout the life. What about them?
Life: It is not the case. If they had followed these golden rules of mine then it could not happen. And there are two types of suffering. Physical suffering may got healed in due course of time. But mental suffering sometimes forced people to leave my hand.
Me: Then what is the way out of it?
Life: Let’s talk with example. Take any example of people who have changed the life of human being positively. You will observe they have followed their heart and didn’t care about what other’s think.
Me: Yes that’s true. We have so many examples of this kind
Life: Any confusion.
Me: Not at all. But I regret that I had not did justice with you.
Life: No problem. Just give me a promise that now you will follow the golden rules of mine.
Me: I do promise that I will follow those golden rules along with this I will let my kids do the same.
Life: I am very beautiful. Enjoy me
Me: Sure! Let’s have fun together and make this world filled with joy and happiness.
Life: Whenever you have any doubt? Call me I am always with you.
Me: Thanks for this enlightenment of mine.
Give me any five humanitarian reason for drawing lines on the globe. Separating states by borders.
I was waiting for her She told she will come for whatever Her curly hair was trying to cover her left eye She was continuously keeping that naughty hair behind her ear I was dreaming for her While I was waiting for her I felt the cold breeze On my shoulder It has the fragrance of her I can feel her My retina was not able to make her image I was feeling like sage Sun was moving very fast as going to see his fiancé It was like a race I had a hope that Today we will come face to face And when my this hope was about to vanish She appeared with a sound of the swish Scene was set The day was going to meet the night It was a beautiful sight Our meeting was light But it kept our emotions tight We met In the midst of sunset.
Stand alone

चाय कब महज एक चाय हुई है
जब उबलते पानी में पत्ती घुली है
तब न जाने कितनी ही यादों से मिली है
जो रंग उतरा है इसका गरम पानी में
जैसे खुदा का नूर उतर आया है मासूम जवानी में
जब अदरक कूटकर डाला है तीन चार उबाल के बाद
खुश्क गलों की महफ़िलें बिन पिए ही हो गई हैं आबाद
चाय कब महज एक चाय हुई है
इसीके साथ किसी कि सुबह तो किसी कि शाम हुई है
इलायची की गिरियाँ जो मिली हैं जाकर
हर आमों ख़ास की अरदास हुई है
जब शक्कर के दानों को अपने आगोश में लेती है
जमाने भर की कडवाहट को काफूर यह कर देती है
चाय कब महज एक चाय हुई है
चाय पर तो न जाने कितने मसाइल हुए हैं
गिरा है दूध का कतरा जो इसकी स्याह सी रंगत पर
अमावास में यूँ लगा कि पूनम की रात हुई है
जब आई है यह प्याले में छन्नी से गुजरने के बाद
लगा कि बाबुल की बेटी अब ससुराल की हुई है
चाय कब महज एक चाय हुई है
लबों से जिसने भी लगाया
वो कहीं खो सा गया है
किसी को यार , किसी को दोस्त, किसी को प्यार , किसी अपने से तकरार बहुत याद आया है
चाय कब महज एक चाय हुई है
चाय पर मुलाकातें ,बातें ,समझौते , जीवन भर के नाते
क्या क्या नहीं हुए हैं
चाय कब महज एक चाय हुई है
चलो आज फिर चाय बनाते हैं
किसी अपने को बुलाते हैं
बैठ कर गप्पियातें हैं
और कोई न मिले तो किसी गैर को आवाज लगाते हैं
और उसे इसी चाय के बहाने अपना बनाते हैं
चाय कब महज एक चाय हुई है
चाय कब महज एक चाय हुई है
चलो सभी फासले इसी चाय से मिटाते हैं
जो दूध की न पिए तो ब्लैक टी पिलाते हैं
जो ब्लैक टी न पिए तो उसे ग्रीन टी पिलाते हैं
जो ग्रीन टी भी न पिए तो उसे लेमन ग्रास टी पिलाते हैं
चलों सभी बिछड़ों , उखड़ों , रूठों को चाय पर बुलाते हैं
और मैं तो कहता हूँ कि हर सरहद पर एक चाय का टप्पर खुलवाते हैं
और सारी दुश्मनी , उल्फत, शिकायतें दर किनार कर चाय पीते और पिलाते हैं
चाय की चुस्कियों के साथ खुशनुमा माहौल बनाते हैं
क्यूंकि
चाय कब महज एक चाय हुई है
चाय से हमारी सुबह तो उनकी शाम हुयी है ||

Why do people behave, the way, they do???????
Try to get connected with you.
If there is pitch dark around you,
Path is not visible to you,
You are afraid of every whisper,
You are not expecting anyone near,
Even in all these adverse conditions, my dear
Have your vision very much clear
And don’t fear
After a while the darkness will gone
Don’t step back
Have belief on yourself and stand alone.
Once you have taken your boat on waves
After some amazing voyages
Waves have decided to riots and raves
In between water, you have lost your oars
Death seems as near as water,
Life seems as far as shore
You don’t find way out
Just don’t scream and shout
Have a cool in your mind
Have an eye in front and behind
The almighty will send some one
Just strengthen your belief on him, and stand alone
Once you have raised your voice for a noble cause
Before victory don’t take pause
People may or may not join you
Hurdles will certainly follow you
Always keep that cause in your mind
For problems, you behave like blind
Keep your intentions pious and sacred
You need not to be afraid
After a tough time you will won
Just always be ready to stand alone
On a cliff
I am with me
No one came to see
I have faced storms and thunder
After a rain it wonder
New leafs came and grew
Cattles tried to screw
I keep growing tall and high
I have almost touched the little sky
I have strengthen my base
And I grew even in adverse case
The rule is simple and applies with everyone
Strengthen your base and for every situation
Ready to stand alone
Now I can see crowd around me; known and unknown
It happened because
I was ready to stand alone.
(Ravi Pratap Singh)
The dense fog
And your first sight
Almost a yard in my right
I stumbled against you
Just kneeling down
You gave me your hand
And my heart gone band.
Inside the class
I was just in for you
That was the day
When I found
Others say
I lost my way.
In every movie
I have assumed you
My partner
I made cards for you
Never dared to give you
You were always with me
When I was roaming around the school ground.
I have written those three magical words for you.
And one day I dare put my letter inside your bag.
And next day
I was called in principal office.
I couldn't figure out
What I have done
I saw your father with that paper
She asked did you write it
I accepted and
Got canes on my both hands.
Said sorry
Came back to class and your smiling face was enough.
I keep noticing your smile,
Walk, the way you talk and your style
I remained in conversation with you
Volumes can be written on those silent conversation between me and you
That was even without you.
Very soon we passed out from school
My friends teased me and said you were biggest fool.
Why you wrote your name on letter?
I said then for what else I wrote the letter.
Still I have goosebumps
While writing all these.
I don't know what was that...
It was nice .....
