ज़िन्दगी ना मिलेगी दोबारा..

कुछ ख्वाब हसीं
इन् आँखों में
जी ले इन्हें तू इस पल में
इन् लम्हों को कैद करले
आँखों में बंद करले
ना रहेगी  कोई शिकायत

कुछ बातें सहमी
इस दिल में
ले आ तू अपने होटों पे
कह दे इन्हें आज खुलके
प्यार हो या शिकायत
बस बात हो दिल की दिल से

कुछ तमन्नाये अधूरी
बसी इस मन में
आज़ाद कर दे आज इन्हें
उड़ने दे आसमान में
सारे अफ़सोस मिटा दे
सारे गम भुला दे

कुछ रिश्ते नए-पुराने
पाए जो साथ ज़िन्दगी  के
निभाले इन्हें पुरे दिल से
लिख दे और पन्ने सुहाने
क्यूंकि, क्यूंकि ये
ज़िन्दगी ना मिलेगी दोबारा

[Truly inspired by the movie, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara]

Follow your heart.. :-)

As a six year old you never think before jumping in the puddle. No thoughts about the risk of spoiling your clothes or getting dirty or even hurting yourself. So, why think about all these things when you grow up. Yes, there are risks involved, yes there are chances of getting hurt. But, at the same time there is a joy of following your heart, joy of forgetting everything for that moment.

You might live your life with lots of calculations, but then you will just live the life and stop enjoying it. You will miss the spontaneity, the excitement, the curiosity, the thrill, the soul of your life. Be a kid, cry sometime, laugh out loud, play a prank, express your love without hesitation, skip work at times, dance as if there is no tomorrow, try a karaoke without worrying about the audience. It might be a cliche but very true, that we get life only once. We know it, but do we really try to live it to the fullest? My answer is no, what's yours?

Try something new, something that you like. At most you will fail, you will fall. But you won't have regrets  for the rest of your life. And someday, this fall will teach you to rise to levels that you never believed you can achieve. Explore yourself to the fullest, and then explore the world. Be the king of your own world. Live the moments and not the time. These are the moments that we cherish for the rest our lives.

Don't we prefer a short engaging movie over a long boring movie? Life is just a movie where you are playing the lead role. Be romantic, be a villian, be what you want to be. Play as many characters as you can, no one's gonna edit your film. :-)

Make friends, have fights, patch things up, love someone, go for a coffee at two in the night, have a nighout, keep blabbering until your jaws hurt, watch a movie alone, stroll on the lonely road at midnight, call your best friend early in the morning, go on a trip with your parents. No matter how much name or fame you earn, nothing can come close to the joy of these small things.

Go ahead, jump in the puddle!


With love,
Swapnil..
