Boondein.............

Boondein, jab aakhon se nikle to gumm, hooton ke raste se guzare to khushi
Phoolon se jaheren to sparsh aur badalon se gire to mithi khushbu de jati hain.


Yaadon mein baha le jati hain yeh boondein
Bachpan ki, un doston ki, un lamhon ki jinko hum aaj bhi jeena chahate hain...




When it was pouring in Pune today, I was thinking about jaipur.... Where rains are like festivals.. you know which come once in a year....It reminds me about my place where with the first drop of rain, we used to run out of our homes to get drenched...


I remember how my mom used to come running behind me to stop,,,but i guess that is the fun part of being kid because by the time she could catch me, i used to be all wet....
I still make boats out of paper but now I do not put them back in the rain water, as now I am surrounded by fears, anxiety, failure that what if my boat is unable to stand the external pressure????


I was never enveloped in such a situation where I had to think ten times for even preparing my boat to get into water...I guess that was because I was a kid at that time, in my mother's lap, in my home, in my place, my hometown, my jaipur.


Have you never missed the link??? The link that you have with your place or your country or for that matter your people????


 I have always felt like a stranger. I person who is looking for her own people who will come and ask you If you are thirsty. Who would always read my mind and in answer come up with what I wanted...


I am here but sometimes it seems that the soul is still there...
A place where my people are still waiting , for me they are the one who really care.
I miss the place, I miss the rain
I miss the sunrise ohh I can feel the pain....
I just want hide myself and want to run away from here,
I want to go back to my place where there is no fear..............


Aaj ek hi gaana yaad aa raha hai.....


Chhiti aayi hai aayi watan se Chitti aayi hai.
Bade dino ke baad hum be-watano ko yaad
Watan ki mitti aayi hai.....


Missing my place, right now too much of work pressure, assignments, exams, blah blah blah...
So thus came a slightly heavy post...
see you all with a happy post asap....

My City - Now and Then

Kal
Aaj










I saw, I lived, I heard , I judged, I fell, I rose, I cried, I smiled......
All these I have done in my city since I was a kid.
Now when I see it ,it seems that it is changing.
Even my city is ready to wear the color red,blue or green now.
I looked here and there for them,
But they do not have time for me, and nobody cares.
I stood alone only to realize the changing time,
Even the sky is not the same in my city as it used to be.
Holi was colourful earlier....n Diwali, beautiful
Then what happened suddenly?
It is then I learnt that the sky is still the same, the roads are also taking me there where I used to go earlier,
Its me who is busy with her life,
Its me who does not want look up because I am so lost in my life
Its I who do not travel on that road anymore
The people out in my city are are still the ones with smiling faces
The sky is still painted pink in the evening
And the road standing still is,waiting for ME TO COME.......................

Naya Din,to nayi Post!!!

Today,had a discussion regarding blogs, and thus came to know about few more things
Also came to know that how my jaipur can be expressed differently from your jaipur...
4 me its my home town,jahan mein ghar-ghar kheli (sorry 4 ths soap ka title :p)
D place which as given me my identity, my life... my friends my memories.
U can debate with me tht even your home town has given you all of these too, and I completely agree.The only difference which mite be there is :

"Ki mere dil mein kahin aaj bhi us jagah ki wahi ahemiyat hai"
"mere zahan mein aaj bhi wahi barish ke paheli boond ki wajah se aati khushbu majood hai"
"Yaad hai mughe har ek gali-mauhalla jahan beeta mera bachpan"
"aur yaad hai mughe mere ghar ka aanjan jise chod kar mein yahan aayi hun"...

Sometimes you just want to sit back and thibnk about your past, whether it was good, bad, ugly.....
In you end that thought process with tears in your eyes cz whatever it was...it was part of ur life....
So If you are thinking something then tell me also..maybe I'l also a similar kind of a story!!!!

My PINK CITY

Yes this is my city...
My Jaipur which is not "PINK" anymore but still tries to remain one.
History,Places,Shopping is all what you all might be aware of, and if not then i'll surely keep on posting about it in my coming posts.

Well, I will not say that I have traveled a lot but quite a few, par kahete hain na, Ghar jaise koi jagah nahi hoti!!!

Its good to be home always right !!!
Aisa kuch lagataar mere saath hota aaya hai...

Its been more than 3 years that I left my home town.
Earlier for work, now for studies but I am still glad that even today I miss my Hometown, my Jaipur.

If u ask me what is tht I miss d most about my hometown then I'll say apart from maa ke haath ka khana I miss my friendz, my school, my college or to be very precise my life and my BACHPANN.......

Chalo ek baar waqt to piche le chalen
Wahin jahan humara-tumhara bachpann tha
Jahan humne mitti me khud to bharr liya tha
Ya phir jahan hume barishon mein ek-dusare ko bhigoya tha
Yaad aati hai woh diwali jab raat raat bhar khushiyon ke rang aasman mein dikhte thy
Aur yaad aati hai woh Holi jab har ek bahiya-didi ko ranga tha
Bhuli nahi hun who patango ka tyohaar bhi jab bhai ke piche-piche charkhi le kar daudti thi
Bahut dino se khoshish kar rahi hun waqt ko wahin le jane ki
Jaahn maa apne haathon se mughe khana khilati thi
Wahin jahan baba mughe apne kandhon par ghumate thy
Aur jahan meri nani mughe din-raat khaniyan sunati thi
Khoshish bahut kari par waqt hai ki wahan jata hi nahi
Haar baar kaheta hai ki tu insaan hai tughe sirf aage badna hai
piche jane ki koshish na kar; waqt hun,
piche nahi jata aur aisa karne mein haat se aur phisal jaunga!!!!!!
