Accept LIfe

Life may be seen from 3 different pospective  ; the past, the present and the future.
The past is past , unalterable . No amount of regret, rethinking or reproduction will ever change the past. The best thing to do about the past is to let the past stay in the past.
Accepting life as it is might mean accepting that events in my past have led me to where I am today; and that the events of my "NOW" might lead me to a certain place in the future.
So, I am currently in the past of my future . 
Knowing this simple truth has led me to not only accept life as it is now but to also realize that my "NOW" is some other time’s past and I am solely responsible for it . I am responsible for how I view and accept life and the events that surrounds life. I am responsible for being not-responsible for things that are not my responsibilities, but are currently in my life anyway.

There are things I ultimately cannot change, but there are many ways I can change my whole self to adapt to the things I cannot change  . Probably its better to tick with the clock to some extend .

नन्ही-सी परी

नन्ही-सी परी
नन्ही-सी परी
गुलाब पाँखुरी-सी
आई जमीं पे
झूम उठा आँगन।
महकी हँसी,
रोशन होने लगा
बुझा सा मन,
भर गई फिर से
सूनी वो गोद
प्यारी -सी वो मुस्कान
हरने लगी
मन का सूनापन।
लगने लगा
प्यारा अब जीवन,
फिर से जागीं
सोई वो तमन्नाएँ,
झूमने लगा
नन्हें से हाथों संग
बन मयूर
झुलसा हुआ मन।
दिखने लगीं
दबी संवेदनाएँ,
खिलने लगीं
मेरे भी लबों पर
रंग-बिरंगी
कलियों -सी कोमल,
हवा-सी नर्म,
पानी -जैसी तरल,
रात रानी की
ख़ुशबू से नहाई,
नए छंदों से
सुरों को सजाती -सी ,
प्यारी-प्यारी लोरियाँ।

Love

Love is only a word, until we decide to let it possess us with all its force.
Love is only a word, until someone arrives to give it meaning

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 .
