Change is Constant

Only change is constant is a phrase we all have heard many a times and used it liberally too. We do experience this day in day out some time these changes are faster and sometime slower but for sure knowing or unknowing change is there.

I am coping with one of them and this one was too faster than my anticipation. Hold on! Just realised it is as per my anticipation rather the handling part of this change is bit lagging.

I had been bad in house hold work and bad is largely an understated statement out here. To ready myself I have to brace with work first, working in two time zones. These two time zones are overlapping for few hours and that’s a relief.  Always been driven around the city now have to find my way on mesh of public transport. Anything vegetarian is a luxury to ask for and hence no more cribbing for the avid food lover like me, learning cooking was not rocket science at least the basic ones but cooking after the day’s work is a donkey job.  When I did hear the house rent and started comparing I could see myself renting a palace or at least a large villa back home.

Finally while at the comforts of a taxi one fine day I used my recently acquired Galaxy note 2 to key in few line as below:

तकलीफे यूँ आसान हुई
की  लाखो के घर सस्ते नजर आने  लगे

मुश्किलें कहा कम थी
पर अब दूरिय हम कम नापने लगे

चल के जो निकले  अंजान सड़क पे
गेर भी आपने लगने लगे

क्या मोल लगये रोटी की
न जाने यह कब से पेट भरने के काम आने लगे

ढुन्द्ते है फुर्सत के वक्त हम
अब रास्ते तय करने के काम आने लगे

मोड़ है शायद इक जिंदगी का
खरे उतरने के वक़्त आने लगे 

Chand Kavitaye

So I am trying to put few of my poetry here now. The first one I have specifically chosen. This poetry doubles up as a disclaimer as well as guideline to read any further. Honestly I do not have a good vocabulary nor too good even in spellings hence hope that you will be bit liberal with those while reading though you should point it out to me for my corrections.

So here goes the first one:

माना की गुस्ताकी की है पर हौसला तो देखिये
माना की दम जुदा हे पर जस्बात तो देखिये

छिपा छिपा कर जो सजोये थे जो जस्बात मेने
उनको जो बताया तोह यह बवाल तो देखिये .

लबो को सिलने से तूफान कही थमा नहीं
उबर के आया तो यह इत्मिनान तो देखिये

उड़ने की क्या कोई परिभाषा होती हे ?
कोशिश की तो यह अहसास तो देखिये

कौन कहता है पानी आग को है बुझाता
जो जलाये तो वोह जलन तो देखिये

Second one finds its place here only for the matter of convenience as this was already converted in Devanagari script. Little background for this poem. I did go almost out of the city on a business call on the eve of "Id" and happen to see the sun hiding behind the beautiful clouds. I did click a photo(one at the top) and then "Id", Sun,clouds and for sure the mood did play a role in this:

खबरे कुछ नासाज है मनो खुशियों ने रोजा है रखा

आज जब यह आफ़ताब (Sun ) डूबेगा तो शायद मौला बोलेंगे इद मुबारक

शायद बादल के पीछे छिपा होगा हमारा इद का चाँद

सब जानते है मौला , की जरूर होगा यह आपना चाँद

यह तो नक्की है की छंटेंगे दुखो के बादल खुशियों के बूँद बन कर टपकेंगे यह ही बादल

मौका है दस्तूर है की हम याद करे तुम्हे ए खुदा

दुखो की शायद यह ही है वजह ए खुदा

सुना है मौला ने बोला है की इद आने को है

आज नहीं तोह कल बस अब ईद आने को है

मुश्कील है यह इन्तेजार ए आफ़ताब

और न सताओ क्योकि इद आने को है .

Now the last one for now. The inspiration was a coconut tree which is visible from my office. It did coincided with some new ideas I was working on. Not to mention the weather was too good too then. Hence this is the result :

आज मेने पेड़ो पर कुछ मंजर देखा था
नाजुक कोमल सी मंजर हवा में खिलखिलाते देखा था

मौसम ने भी न जाने क्यों कुछ सुनी थी इसकी बाते
कुछ बूंदे कुछ बादल और कुछ रेशमी धुप मेने देखा था

निसानी है कुछ नए मीठे फल पकने के
हाँ ऐसा तोह रात खवाबो मैं भी देखा था

सारे मंजर फल न बने तोह क्या
सरे ख़यालात पुचक न पाए तोह क्या
ख़ुशी है की आज मेने पेड़ो पर मंजर देखा था

I have been writing almost one or more a day. This way I could end up putting up a entire volume soon. Some of my friends who have been reading have been already jokingly said the same. I am glad that they do correct me a lot many times and have been very encouraging, so I have decided that will write on them too some times.

Please do post your comments as I said I am OK with any comments.
