ऐ  मनुष्य, ज़रा रुक पिछे मुड़ कर देख!  देखेगा नहीं तो सीखेगा कैसे।  सीखेगा नहीं  तो , समझेगा कैसे। समझेगा नहीं तो,

Stuck in a timeline, an event. it came like a turbulence, and went away like a past. We the injured party, still hanging like a pendulum  between  yesterday, today and tomorrow. it took away everything, except the life. Yet asked us to live gracefully. But wait... as legends say...what goes around, comes around. Life never disappoints you, rather, it teaches you lessons. It repeats itself till the lesson is learnt. Today here I am standing,  as strong as I can. With my head held high and even higher.   Life isn't so hard that it could not be understood, it just needs right perspective and patience to be comprehended.

Why can't people behave with me as a woman, that I am. An individual who is experiencing this world in every possible way, as it is. Why I am always judged via the relationship I share? According to my observation, usually people do forget that before sharing any relationship, I am an individual; a woman. this thought of me urged me to conclude that we really don't know how to behave with an individual, because we were never taught to.  Since childhood we were taught to behave with our grand mother, aunt, sister, mother and who not; but an individual. May be that is one of the reasons that women are not safe on the streets.  why meeting random people on streets confuses us.'coz there we are meeting an individual. who is not related to us in any manner, that somehow confuses us because we were never taught/trained to see people as who they are.

What is happiness? Some say it is an emotion. Some say it is a state of mind. Some say it is overrated. But still...I wonder...happiness... It urges me to question myself. Is it the first drop of rain touching my skin, Or the warmth of sun toching us on a cold day. Is it the morning smell of the plants and trees,  Or smell of the wet mud. Is it when you watch a favourite sport with the family, Or is it when you listen to a relaxing music sitting in  your corner. Is it the sight of your loved ones,  Or is it  long waiting period hoping their return.

Yeah! sex is an instinctual need. It needs as much attention as other instincts do. But usually we fail to do so. May be because we need a cocktail. A cocktail of love and sex, or vice - versa. 50% each. Or may be some more, more passion, more compassion, more sensuality, more care, etc. A complete cocktail. P.S.- I don't want to get into gender debate, but sometimes it really presses me hard to think that why female prostitutes are easily accessible, but male prostitutes.

दिल अपना है , फिर भी परया। रहता अपने अंदर है, पर रखता किसी और को है। ये धड़कता किसी और के लिए है , और दर्द हमे देता है। ऐ दिल तू कितना बेवफा है। ज़िन्दगी तू हमसे लेता है और आँसू हमर्रे लिए छोड़ जाता है।
