Ye Jeevan

Ye Jeevan

Pal mein rulaye

Toh pal mein hasne ke sau avasar de jaye

Ye Jeevan

Ik pal beeta hue kal ki yaad dilaye

Toh dooje pal beete hua kal ke kabhi na aane ka

Ehsaas dilaye

Ye Jeevan

Kabhi kisi ke saath se nauka paar karaye 

Toh kabhi uss saath ko bojh banaye

Ye Jeevan

Kabhi dil ke armaano ko raakh kar jaye 

Toh kabhi un armaano ko agan de jaye 

Ye Jeevan

Lehron ki dhaar sa kathin raah dikhaye

Aur unhi lehron ke sahare paar le jaye

Ye Jeevan

Kabhi kisi karm par sharm se aankhein jhukaye 

Toh kabhi wahi naach nachaye

Ye Jeevan

Safal hone ki chaah mein

Apno se door karaye 

Aur safalta ki unchaiyon pe pahochne par

Akelepan ka ehsaas karaye

Ye Jeevan

Shayad, Jeena isi ka naam hai!

Naav ye meri :)

Isn’t it wonderful how a certain small thing brings back so many memories! While I was cleaning my cupboard in the morning today, I found a small paper boat under my clothes. Around 6 months ago, when I made this small boat in a taxi, thinking of preserving it for long, I knew someday when I will look at it again, it will make me smile. This small thing brought back memories of my first trip to Bombay, my first local train journey and my first sight of the sea. It also brought memories of some people I met for the first time, Thank God it’s Friday, and the time spent at Priyadarshini.

Apart from these obvious things, it brought back memories of something I hadn’t imagined while making it. It reminded me of my childhood. It reminded me of the time and efforts that my mother took to teach me to make it. The stupid lunch break competitions as to how many boats one can make in a minute. It reminded me of the time when after the rains, I and my friends would keep these boats in the drain to have a boat race. And now while I am writing this post, and I see how heavily it’s raining outside, I have a huge smile on my face. J
