रिश्ते

रिश्ते बस रिश्ते होते हैं
कुछ इक पल के
कुछ दो पल के

कुछ परों से हल्के होते हैं
बरसों के तले चलते-चलते
भारी-भरकम हो जाते हैं

कुछ भारी-भरकम बर्फ़ के-से
बरसों के तले गलते-गलते
हलके-फुलके हो जाते हैं

नाम होते हैं रिश्तों के
कुछ रिश्ते नाम के होते हैं
रिश्ता वह अगर मर जाये भी
बस नाम से जीना होता है

बस नाम से जीना होता है
रिश्ते बस रिश्ते होते हैं

Do I Look Mature

Few days back , I was sitting for a weekly review meeting of my team . The whole team was waiting for me in the board room . We did the reviews , feedback , discussion and then closed the meeting with few open critical items which I wanted to discuss with my Vertical Head .

I was not very happy with the front desk executive and so I communicated this to my Lead . I also updated that she is good , also able to manage 4 out of his 5 KRA , but the one which she is not able to manage is due to his personality which is not so mature . She looks more of a class 12 student than a graduate which is actually making her take tough due to public dealing .

So finally I said to my lead that I would rather think of having a new front desk executive than retaining her .

My meeting was over and we left .

Next day when I came to office , this little front desk lady came to me and said , Sir , I have changed my get up , my dress and also I have applied lipsticks , am I looking mature .

I could read ...she just wanted to tell me .." please don’t fire me "

It was very emotional for me . It was as if my own daughter kid was asking from me....if had a kid  .

I was speechless . I was stuck with my own believes , should I have a good nature employee or a employee with proper skill to deliver .

Its seriously not easy to be detached from all human being and take decision purely on professional basis .

I know I am a failure in terms of my decision as I decide to retain her , but I am satisfied and peaceful personally .

NOW

Out of your whole life give but one moment!
All of your life that has gone before,
All to come after it, – so you ignore,
So you make perfect the present, – condense,
In a rapture of rage, for perfection’s endowment,
Thought and feeling and soul and sense –
Merged in a moment which gives me at last
You around me for once, you beneath me, above me –
Me – sure that despite of time future, time past, –
This tick of our life-time’s one moment you love me!
How long such suspension may linger? Ah, Sweet –
The moment eternal – just that and no more –
When ecstasy’s utmost we clutch at the core
While cheeks burn, arms open, eyes shut and lips meet!

Jiya Lage Na

Today morning , i got up at 4 AM and this song was in my mind , a song which was so close to Maa . Simple , plan and with pure love .... may be she imagined papa in this song .
I though time is so powerful and has all cure as it passes, but in my case , maa has been with me every day every moment from past 10 years , the day she left .

Maa ..I Miss You

Its long that you left me . I feel my heart was divided into 2 , one which is still alive with me and one which died with you . There are times when I make sure I am alone , awake , and take a walk down the memory lane with tears in my eyes . You flow in me the way I breath . I hold you tight within me and you will always remain there . You can see that my life goes on , but it will never be the same again .

Maa ....miss you

Wish ...it could Happen

The soft glow of dawn
covers my room in rainbows.

Young eyes try to capture them.
My mother’s figure appears in the doorway,
presence subtle.
I ask her to join me,
catch her own rainbows.
She simply shakes her head, eyes glassy.


Maybe another day, I think,
Or maybe not.

शायद

मैं चाहता भी यही था वो बेवफ़ा निकले

मैं चाहता भी यही था वो बेवफ़ा निकले
उसे समझने का कोई तो सिलसिला निकले

किताब-ए-माज़ी* के पन्ने उलट के देख ज़रा
न जाने कौन-सा पन्ना मुड़ा हुआ निकले

जो देखने में बहुत ही क़रीब लगता है
उसी के बारे में सोचो तो फ़ासला  निकले
