इक रास्ता है ज़िन्दगी जो थम गए तो कुछ नहीं
ये क़दम किसी मुकाम पे जो थम गए तो कुछ नहीं
Nights bring magic in life and it’s not for the reason you are thinking about. Calmness in the streets, on the roads, at squares, in the market and in the head shape up once earth rotates around the sun and while it rotates around it, it is also revolving and so half of the earth is in darkness, while the other half is in the light from facing the sun. Nothing is better than the simple pleasure of riding a bike after 6 pm on the 6 lanes of Capital.
My mind has been tickling from last few days and the reason behind it is the constant battle between my EGO, my self-respect and my Efforts. My Self-Respect says, “You are faking it. You can’t write a word on your own; you just take inspiration from things and compile it in your own way and take the credit.” My Efforts says, “Holy Crap, you don’t even respect us; not many are willing to give their 100% and at least you are giving your best to make it readable”. My Ego says, “Who else even take care of writing? Everyone do the same nobody is original”. Thankfully, My Self-Respect and Efforts had a laugh last in the dilemma. While I was driving my bike to my home, Suddenly something flashed in my mind and I started to think let me map Life with the Bike Ride and I couldn’t believe how fast my mind gave results.
Immediately I was able to see things which I never noticed even though I have passed through thousand times in the same path. Sometimes in life you don’t recognize or notice the existence of the things and in no time I realized that’s the 1st mapping :-).
Trees and Electric light posts were passing by quickly and we were moving on; I was going for the destination without even caring about it but I was moving on. I had to…There was no other option. Trees and Light posts are the static things and they are like problems or tragedies in life. If I stay there then I will see only problems and tragedies and in our bike riding case, I will see only Trees and Light Posts around; I will assume this is the LIFE and that’s it but what if I will start my bike again and move further?
Those static things will become part of life and not the LIFE J (Read it once again…Its tricky). That’s why we hear a lot in daily life about time. Time heals every DAMN thing…It happens only if you move a bit further when you are riding your bike or living your LIFE and static things become dynamic if you LEAVE them BEHIND…I could see myself going ahead and leaving them behind on the road and could easily map it with what I do in life at certain juncture. When I decide to stay in specific situation…I see it as the ONLY thing which is a mare perception.
Static things are hard to leave because it keeps the soul in the illusion but reality sit no where near the illusions and thus when Static things plays the tune of:
ओ जाते राही ओ बांके राही
मेरी बांहों को इन राहों को
तू छोड़ के न जा तू वापस आ जा
We actually need to realize that time has come to start the bike and move on to counter attack the illusive tune by playing our our tune.
जाते हुए क़दमों से आते हुए क़दमों से
भरी रहेगी रहगुज़र जो हम गए तो कुछ नहीं
भरी रहेगी रहगुज़र जो हम गए तो कुछ नहीं
Speed Breaker
Speed-Breakers, essential part of the road to avoid accidents and also offer you an opportunity to take over the person ahead of you. Speed is not always measured in speedometer; sometimes spead-breakers give an opportunity to access little moments and that gives new vision to the journey of life and thus you take over others or your own self. Sometimes there are no speed-breakers; just illusions (white strips, Remember?). Day to day life is full of illusions; illusive roadblocks stop us at various junctures in life. Little courage or a careful sight is needed to go through it. These illusive roadblocks in life help us to quick check the condition. Sometimes quick ticks helps, aren’t they?
Speed-breakers come at important places and more importantly at the places where you need to set your eyes in; most of the time you see them just before the TURN. In Life, You may want to take a turn or can be forced to take it. At times we realize too late and then we need to take U turn at certain juncture of LIFE but 90% decision comes with NO U TURN sign-board and the best we can do is to avoid the same mistake again; even regret doesn’t help and it’s just a pain point throughout life time. Sign-board helps but not every turn comes with a sign-board and thus sometimes it’s a calculated decision to decide whether to select the unsigned turn or not. In daily life we have the luxuries of multiple suggestions from elders who have been there and been through thick and thin of life and serves as a SIGN-BOARD. At times, we face certain circumstances where there are no sign-boards and the steps towards it are called EXPERIENCE. 
In 28 years, there have been times when I knew what is risky (Red), what is safe (Green) and where I was extremely unsure (Orange) but as almost all do at Traffic signal I did some blunders as well and I am only talking about myself because I would love to avoid Fault Finding tendencies. In everyday life we get multiple signals while doing specific things and somehow we ignore by taking decision on instincts and then regret when desired things don’t happen J It happens because of “Hope” also; we hope that things fall in place even if signals are red and then…
An there are certain times where you are extremely unsure what to do; It will create gender related issue but still I feel opposite gender face this Orange light more than us when they need to decide on life partner…It’s so frustrating since I have been at receiving end and you feel like oh come on Am I on seesaw?
इक पल के मुसाफिर के दामन से लिपटना क्या
जाते हुए क़दमों से आते हुए क़दमों से
भरी रहेगी रहगुज़र जो हम गए तो कुछ नहीं
