You only live once

Inspired by – Zinda silli – Arijit Singh

Life is either few moments to cherish

Or keep whining and waiting to perish

Dream big and live as a whole

On life’s tunes, step up and roll

**************

The eyes have spoken, the story untold

The days eclipse, when nights unfold

Its time to open, to shatter the shackles

To break the ice and clean up the mold

**************

Chorus: 

Live up the joy, sneeze out the sorrow

its now or never, there is no tomorrow 

Live in the moment none more to borrow 

Its now or never, there is no tomorrow 

**************

The sulky nights with false tales 

Will give you reclusion and breathless days

Voice out the truth, for its meant to be

Soar up high and let yourself be free. 

**************

Hear out your feelings, don’t let them hide

Your story your legend is your pride

Freshen your world with drops divine

Rewrite your story and let it shine

**************

Chorus: 

Live up the joy, sneeze out the sorrow

its now or never, there is no tomorrow 

Live in the moment none more to borrow 

Its now or never, there is no tomorrow 

**************

Awaken the life, and Cherish the smile

From every breath to every mile 

Lead your path and make it your style !! 

**************

Chorus: 

Live up the joy, sneeze out the sorrow

its now or never, there is no tomorrow 

Live in the moment none more to borrow 

Its now or never, there is no tomorrow

Kids unplugged !!

In a life before iPads, when
We were kissed more and hugged
We would jump and bounce around
Full of energy yet unplugged.

We’d brush some dust around
Covered with caps and jackets
Some scores got us bruises
Hitting balls with bats and rackets.

We loved to be outside
With reasons to explore
A chance to make new friends
Creativity and ideas galore.

I want my kids to share
Same fun and love and air
A life full of outdoors
And rejoice it Without fear !!

Modern Ramayana retold by NRI kid

Disclaimer: This article is just a pun on a mythological story. I dont intend to hurt feelings of any religion or sect.

A young second generation Indian living in abroad was asked by his mother to explain the significance of “Diwali” to his younger brother, this is how he went about it…”

So, like this dude had, like, a big cool kingdom and people liked him.But, like, his step-mom, or something, was kind of a bitch, and she forced her husband to, like, send this cool-dude, he was Ram, to some national forest or something… . Since he was going, for like, something like more than 10 years or so….. he decided to get his wife and his bro along…. you know…so that they could all chill out together.

But Dude,the forest was reeeeal scary shit… really man…they had monkeys and devil s and shit like that. But this dude, Ram, kicked with darts and bows and arrows…. so it was fine.But then some bad gangsta boys, some jerk called Ravan, picks up his babe (Sita) and lures her away to his hood.. And boy, was our man, and also his bro, Laxman, pissed… all the gods were with him… So anyways, you don’t mess with gods.

So, Ram, and his bro get an army of monkeys…. Dude, don’t ask me how they trained the damn monkeys… just go along with me, ok…So, Ram, Lax and their monkeys whip this gangsta’s ass in his own hood…. Anyways, by this time, their time’s up in the forest… and anyways… it gets kinda boring, you know…. no TV or malls or shit like that. So, they decided to hitch a ride back home… and when the people realize that our dude, his bro and the wife are back home… they thought, well, you know, at least they deserve something nice…

and they didn’t have any bars or clubs in those days… so they couldn’t take them out for a drink, so they, like, decided to smoke and stuff … and since they also had some lamps, they lit the lamps also…so it was pretty cool… you know with all those fireworks… And this is how it started

The mother fainted. 🙂

Remembering my inspiration

Khushi's Whimsical discourse

 

Ik aas hai chanchal chitvan se
sapno ki duniya sajaane ki
dil chaahi khushi jahaan basti ho
Namumkin ko mumkin banaane ki

Mann jeeto apne vishwaas se
Nahi chalti vidhi vidhaano ki
Chhoo jaate hain woh bulandi ko
Jineh chaah ho kuch kar jaane ki

Uthte huye inn kadmon se
Haathon ki inn lakeeron ki
Badleinge hum iss kismat ko
Hai kasam humein zamaane ki

Zinda Dilli

Mar mar Ke toh sabhi jeetei Hain
Zinda dilli Ke do pal jee kar dekho
Jhooth Se dum ghut taa hai agar
Sach ki panaah mein aa kar dekho

Badlaav hi toh atal satya hai
Bina dare, usse apna kar dekho
Khudgarz toh kayi milte hain
Tum insaaniyat dikha kar dekho !!

Some live each day in frustration
Live life to the fullest and see

Try being honest and see

Change is the essence of life
Embrace it without fear and see
When everyone around u is selfish
Lend a helping hand and see !!

Happy Raksha Bandhan

You’ve loved me through the thins
and hugged me through tough times
Our fights could not be counted
Yet you partnered me in crimes !!

frowned and yelled at my mischiefs
But to folks you stayed a mime
You are my best friends forever
For our heartbeats are in rhyme.

Love you loads my brothers 🙂 Happy Raksha Bandhan !!

 

Clouds

You make me wonder
how you fly so free
You add the thunder
down pours the glee

You are so shapeless
and still in design
be the shades of gray
or the white benign

Tareef

Unconditional Love

There will always be people in your life who will

befriend you for what you have
respect you for where you work
invite you for who you bring along
accompany you when you can afford
and remember you by how much you give.

The choice is yours !!

To understand and realize  –

when, what, why, how much and with whom

you share your life and make your memories with.

“People who come into your life for what you are” –

will NEVER love you unconditionally for who you are !!

 

Ehsaas

dard-e-dil ab lafzon se byaan nahi karti
yeh toh ashqon mein baha karta hai
ehsaason ki numaaish per huste hain log
mahsoos karne se bhi mann darta hai

anjaane bhi poochte hain haal-e-mizaaj
anjaan woh hai jis per dil marta hai !!!

Oas ki Boondein

Sehar ke pehlei paher mein
patton per padhi woh oas ki boondein,
man mein ek nayi aas jagati hain !!

Aaj phir ek nayi subah hogi
mann mein vishwaas liye yeh aankhein
kuch naye sunehre sapne sajaati hain !!

Shitij ab door nahi hai
pankh faila udhnei ki chah mein
badal ban phir barasna chahati hain !!

yeh masoom – oas ki boondein…..

Drops of dew

wanna soar so high, 

touch thy horizons ……

Burns and Scars

When the skin gets burnt, it often leads to scarring of that area which can be very displeasing to look at. The burn itself is a painful memory to erase and the burn scar is a constant reminder of it. Here are some effective home remedies using traditional Indian herbs to get rid of burn scars by Dr Uma Singh, medical director of Nomarks (Ozone Ayurvedics).

1. Lemon and tomato juice both can help gently remove the dead skin and help the skin rejuvenate.  Lemon has acidic properties that naturally lighten the scars. Freshly squeezed tomato juice is a natural bleaching agent and naturally cures the burn marks. Here’s how you can use them: Rinse the burn with cool (room temperature) water. You will need two clean washcloths, a fresh lemon and some fresh tomato juice. The burn mark should first be rinsed thoroughly under cold water. Now, place a moistened washcloth on the burn mark for a few hours. Meanwhile, keep some fresh lemon juice ready. Now, moisten the other washcloth with fresh lemon juice and dab the burn mark gently. After the area is dry, you should apply some fresh tomato juice on the burn mark. Due to its strong natural bleaching effect, you can get rid of the burn mark in just a few days. Repeat this procedure about twice a day on a regular basis to be rid of burn marks.

2. Another good way to remove scars at home is to gently massage the scar with almond oil. Massaging the scar twice a day will help to progressively reduce the scar.

3. Fenugreek seeds also help in getting rid of scars. Soak the fenugreek seeds in water overnight and grind it into a fine paste. Now apply this mixture gently on to the burn marks and leave it on. Once the paste has dried completely, you can wash it off with water. Apply this paste regularly to remove the scars. Cold water with turmeric also has antiseptic properties which work well on burnt skin.

4. Lavender essential oil is a very effective antiseptic that reduces pain and promotes rapid healing. In addition, lavender reduces scarring. When lavender oil is applied to a burn very quickly, the burn may heal with no scarring at all. For larger burns, pour lavender oil onto a gauze or cloth and apply to the burn every few hours.

5. The India Yunani Cotton-Ash Paste burn remedy has been used for centuries to treat even severe burns. Take a large piece of cotton wool (or any kind of pure, white cotton fabric) and burn it (perhaps in a metal pot). Use the ash of the burned cotton and mix with olive oil to get a thick paste. Spread this black paste on the burnt skin and cover with a cling film. Reportedly, the pain disappears in seconds and even the accompanied shock reduces in severity. If the pain is back, refresh it and use fresh paste on the wound. Use the paste for a week or so, depending on the severity of the burns.

6. Another age-old remedy is potato peels. They provide moisture and they also have anti-bacterial properties that help in healing. Doctors have found that potato peel bandages work better for minor burns than conventional dressings.

7. An effective home remedy for burns can be made by combining equal portions of barley, turmeric and yogurt. Apply the resulting paste over the affected areas for pain relief and healing.

8. Last, but far from least, is colloidal silver. Colloidal silver has wonderful antiseptic and healing properties and helps damaged tissue to regenerate. Major hospital burn units use colloidal silver bandages and ointments.

Judaai

kismat se maanga ladhkar jisse
munh mujhi se modh gaya
chaha khuda se badhkar jisse
tanhaa mujhi ko chodh gaya

dil dil nahi – kya patthar tha
ehsaason ko na samajh paya
chahat ki qadar nahi thi jisse
jazbaat bhara dil todh gaya

Ajeeb dastan

“kuch afsaane byaan hote hain kishton mein,

The love connection

Eyes full of love – you hug me tight
You hold my hand – and lead me to light

In your embrace – I feel your care
With trust in you – my fears I bare

With you I glow, and shine so bright
You are my angel, my valor, my knight

I look up to you, in awe – I stare !!
I feel so complete, precious and dear !!

Jaaneman

Jaaneman kahkar tum – kyun dil pei waar karte ho
door door rahkar bhi – chhupaa deedar karte ho
tumhari chahatein aisi – ki parda nasheen bhi sharmaye
jhukki nazron ke chilman se – izzhaar-e-pyaar karte ho !!!

 

Karma

A life so full of bounty
in comfort and in ease
leisures available in plenty
convenience as you please !!

your desires you can fulfill
your wishes within your reach
the skies are shades of blue
springs full of rose and peach !!

You still can find some reasons
to complain and crib and whine
In a day of glow and brilliance
you ponder what missed a shine !!

Once step out of your world
and observe around in mime
The hurting souls around you
might shift the paradigm !!

Your attitude is your virtue
keep smiling without a bar
Count your blessings as pals
Who love you for who you are !!!

— Khushi

 

Life delusion

Life

When my heart was delusional
I listened to my head
Then head was too confused
and conflicting things it said

My mind could not think straight
Eyes – misty as they shed
I could not trust my ears
Hands quivered as they fed

When common sense betrayed me
The sixth – took charge, and led
While I waited for a miracle
Conscience shouted – I was blessed !!!

Hungry souls surround me
Love craves to end hatred
I am better off than so many
And goodwill needs to spread

Life does bring thorny shackles
Amongst roses which are red
Live each moment like its Last
It’s a prophecy – very well said !!!

– Khushi

 

Wants vs Needs

It is funny how easy it is

• To preach to others the fundamentals or workings of life and how conveniently we choose to ignore them when they apply to us.
• To step back and see a holistic view of a circumstance when we are advising others while we stay bump our heads into the inside walls of the box when it applies to us.
• To be more forgiving and letting go of mistakes committed by others but we are most critical of our own selves.

At times I sit and wonder, that even though we belong to a family, circle of friends or society and the status quo but why did the creator still create us a sole identity – all the scriptures and the advocacies of – we were born alone and we’d die alone are very true to the T.

And the times when we don’t really land up where we’d like or want to be – but eventually when we look back to connect the dots – that was exactly where we Needed to be. I mean – who decides all this? who plans all this for us ?

And if it’s all pre-written, then why do we desire differently from what we need?

Why we the beings of desire, are allowed to be confused and frustrated just on the pretext of appreciating more the final outcome?

Who and why is playing mind games with us?

 

Safar

Iss tez raftaar zindagi mein
Hum yunhi kadam badhaate rahe
Kuch zindagi humeh sikhati rahi
Kuch hum isse bataate rahe

Jab raah mein kuch bechain huye
Umeed kaa daaman thaame rahe
himmat se haasil hogi jeet
Madhosh hum geet yeh gaate rahei !!!

— Khushi

 

Yeh Zindagi hai kya ?

yeh zindagi hai kya
ik patakon ki ladhi hai
kis modh per jaane
Maut kafan liye khadhi hai

yeh zindagi hai kya
ik anjana sa safar hai
kabhi phoolon ki sej
kabhi kaanton ki dagar hai !!

yeh zindagi hai kya
ik armanon ka mela hai
jahan ghamo ke saath
humne khud ko bhi jhela hai !!

yeh zindagi hai kya
subah-saanjh ki bela hai
insaano ki bheedh mein
yeh dil phir akela hai !!

akal ke bastei na badhha karte hain
naseehat do – agar ho aap beeti
badhei buzarg – kaha karte hain

sau baaton se chup hai achhi
unchei bol bhi dara karte hain
dil se kee parvaah hai sachi
sachei dost sadaaa karte hain

unchi soch aur baat ho seedhi
shoshon ko hum paraan karte hain
smile karo tum mushkil mein bhi
mayoos, pal pal, maraa karte hain

In Memoriam – Dr Pritam Singh

Life isn’t a game of jeopardy where each question has an answer or vice versa.

 

Unexplainable at times, people come into our lives by chance and become an integral part of our beings – of who we are and what we become!! They influence us with their life, their personality, their charisma and most importantly their affection towards us. They come into our life for a season – but end up being the reason of change, in our attitudes and perspectives for our life’s journey.

Dr Pritam Singh (fondly remembered as Pritam Uncle) was one such noble soul, who touched many a lives with his unconditional love and care. His charm and positivity was contagious. His open heartedness was ever so welcoming. His genuineness was always, more felt than seen.

Not a dry eye could be found in the house on the fateful first day of March when God so chose to bestow on him a place besides him. The day he left for his heavenly abode leaving behind our grieving hearts still unable to accept this unfathomable loss.

A charmer, lively as life itself, Pritam Uncle was humility personified. Intellect, humor, devoutness, dignity, integrity and warmth are virtues he imparted at ease. With an honest and logical mindset, he was always fair and brought tranquility to any discussion.

I can never forget the day when I was leaving Michigan to set forth on my new journey in life and he held me close while putting his hand in blessings on my head. He quoted anecdotes from Guru Nanak’s travels and wished for me to be never alone in spirits; and to be always surrounded by congenial people (and I’ll never find anyone who’d fill his void) – His unconditional love was my paramount support. His faith in me helped me trust myself and my abilities as I tread along the stumbling blocks. A fatherly figure and a friend and guide to me – he or his words would lighten up any of my stressed days. His blessings, his love, affection and ever smiling face will be with me as long as I live. As I miss him today, I do realize that he’ll always be with me in spirits and in the most cherished ways!!

 

People like him never die….

They just relocate – From their Homes into our HEARTS!!!

Love you lots Uncle

Aapki Jhalli ….
Your naïve kiddo !! 

 

Keemat

na thi humein masarrhat
na tha jashn hi pehle
phir jhoom uthi duniya
uske aane ke baad

Hoti hai keemat cheez ki
uske milne se pehle
Aur insaa ki dil mein…..
Uske jaane ke baad

kurbat mein faasle hain
qayamat ke din se pehle
ik nigaah phir dekhlun
dil kar raha fariyaad

Kab se kah rahi hun tumko

Food channel hi dekha karo tum

roz roz ka simple khana

Naye vyanjan seekha karo tum

---

Haan – koshish toh karta rahta hun

aglei weekend   surprise karunga

Tum ne kabhi na chakha jo hoga

Aisa cuisine design karunga

---

Jaane weekend woh kab aayega

Issi aas mein saalon hai beete

Sanjeev kapur se kar leti shaadi

swad aata tab mere hissei

---

Khana toh tum bana lete ho

peit bus bharna ho jis se

Tum toh bus kahte rahte ho

Sasurjee se tum kuch na seekhei

---

Naaraaz bhala kyun hoti ho tum

Naa Raaz tumse chhupa hai koi

Koshish toh karta rehta hun

Hukum tumhara rukaa na  koi

---

haaye meri kismet hai phooti

mujhko koi aaram nahi hai

baatein hi toh banate ho tum

tum ko toh koi kaam nahi hai !!!

---

poora din laga rahta hun

pati nahi naukar laana tha

tang aa kar – jaa raha hun mayike

jeevan sangni tumeh maana tha

---

dekha doston

---

roz roz ki taana kashti

kahaan kisi ko bhaa paayi hai

dono ka sahyog zaroori

Grihasti tabhi to has payi hai

---

Daadi amma sahi kahti thi

Do pahiyon per hi chalti gaadhi

Ek jana bhi agar ho dheela

Aa jati hai vipdaa bhaari

---

Main aur Tum ki behas ko chodho

Ahum ko rakho Hum se door

Ek aur Ek se banao gyaraaah

Pyaar se hota jeevan paripoorn

Eid Mubarak

Eid Mubarak

na Uski nigaah mein fark hai
na humko hi fark karna hai
gunaahon se tauba karke
bus uske kehar se darna hai

Ek Khuda ki Ek ibaadat
mein sir jhukaye rakhna hai
Eid Diwali toh hain bahane
milker meetha chakhna hai

Al hamdulillah – Eid Mubarak 🙂

***************************************

He created us all equal  
then who are we to pull apart 
all we need is - His forgiveness 
or be wary of the day we depart

Festivals are only an excuse
  to eat lots of sweets and tarts
  One God and One Faith 
  Forever Follow it in your heart

The Hands that rocked the cradle

Life does come back to a full circle.

Sometime back, I was reading a book and it mentioned a role swap between parents and kids as time passes. And it sure was true. I vaguely remember my childhood days where I would ask a plethora of questions (often repetitive ) to my parents and they would indeed be patient in all their replies. In time, now when I have come by and far in my years in life, I see myself standing at the giving end. and It sure feels great :o)

I sure feel ecstatic – sharing my experiences with my folks and helping them adjust in a new place – trying to be as patient (if not more) as they were to my inquisitiveness – way back then 🙂
And its an elite feeling when your folks start treating you responsible and turn to you for advices and opinions.

Its surely a happy feeling when the hands that rocked the cradle – hold yours for love and support 🙂

Waqt Nahi

Just came across this beautiful poem which depicts the hustle bustle of our daily lives where we just forget to take time for smelling the roses. 🙂

Har khushi Hai Logon Ke Daman Mein,
Par Ek Hansi Ke Liye Waqt Nahi.
Din Raat Daudti Duniya Mein,
Zindagi Ke Liye Hi Waqt Nahi.

Maa Ki Loree Ka Ehsaas To Hai,
Par Maa Ko Maa Kehne Ka Waqt Nahi.
Saare Rishton Ko To Hum Maar Chuke,
Ab Unhe Dafnane Ka Bhi Waqt Nahi.

Saare Naam Mobile Mein Hain,
Par Dosti Ke Lye Waqt Nahi.
Gairon Ki Kya Baat Karen,
Jab Apno Ke Liye Hi Waqt Nahi.

Aankhon Me Hai Neend Badee,
Par Sone Ka Waqt Nahi.
Dil Hai Ghamon Se Bhara Hua,
Par Rone Ka Bhi Waqt Nahi.

Paison ki Daud Me Aise Daude,
Ki Thakne ka Bhi Waqt Nahi.
Paraye Ehsason Ki Kya Kadr Karein,
Jab Apane Sapno Ke Liye Hi Waqt Nahi.

Tu Hi Bata E Zindagi,
Iss Zindagi Ka Kya Hoga,
Ki Har Pal Marne Walon Ko,
Jeene Ke Liye Bhi Waqt Nahi…….

 

Happy Mother’s Day

I take you for granted
and act like a bug
you calm down my fears
and give me a hug

your embrace is so dear
my worries you slay
My bestest of friends – “Mom”,
Happy mother’s day 🙂

Taqdeer, Umeed aur Himmat

taqdeer mein nahin woh baat nahin ban ni,
jo ho nahin sakta uski ummed kya karni,

taqdeer ka likha toh badalta hai insaa hi
na toote gar umeed naa tootegi himmat bhi

 

Ladies Night Out – Chicka time

The weather has been weird
with summer nowhere close
Outdoors will be nasty
So movie is what I propose.

You should dress all fancy
and show off best of clothes
Exclusive it is – for you
No babies and no Beaus !!

And dinner would be nice
in a restaurant somewhere close
Lets all forget those shackles
and play it as it goes 🙂

Oxymorons

Ladies and gentlemen, hobos and tramps,
Bug-eyed mosquitoes and bowlegged ants!

I’m about to tell you a story I’ve never heard before,
So pull up a chair and sit on the floor.
Admission is free, so pay at the door.

One fine day, in the middle of the night,
two, dead boys got up to fight.

Back to back, they faced each other,
drew their swords and shot each other.

A deaf policeman heard the noise,
and saved the lives of the two dead boys.

If you don’t believe my lies are true,
ask the blind man, he saw it too!

Dear Uncles and Aunties –

“Often mom and dad …….. Whisper it to me

With YOU in their world…..they are happy and in glee

They often argue too– on which one I could go

What do you think – whose copy should I be !! “

KhudGarz

Dard -e- intehaa dekho
hum tanha ‘Arz’ kahte hain
Hunsi ko haal na samjho
Dikhaava-marz sahte hain

Tamanna dil ki, mar jaye
“kya hai harz” kahte hain
ishq mein hum, wafaa chahein
log khudgarz kahte hain

New year Resolution

Farewell to the old
Ringing in the new
Today I made resolutions
Repeated quite a few. 🙂

 

No second chances

Too busy in the mundane
And excuses of the vast
We often avoid the effort
And the present turns to past

Wish we’d cared some more
Life isn’t here to last
Overruled by heavens above
We are helpless and aghast

People we take for granted
Are closer to the heart
Find time for that last call
Before death does us part!!

–Khushi

In loving memory of my dearest Mamu (Uncle) who left us for his heavenly abode today. May his soul rest in peace.
I was to call him today.
I wish I had done it sooner……..
I wish I had known when it’ll be too late !!

Too busy in the mundane

And excuses of the vast

We often avoid the effort

And the present turns to past

Wish we’d cared some more

As life isn’t here to last

Overruled by heavens above

We are helpless and aghast

People we take for granted

Are closer to the heart

Find time for that last call

Before death do us part!!

In loving memory of my dearest Mamu (Uncle) who left us for his heavenly abode today. May his soul rest in peace. I was to call him today. I wish I had done it sooner L I wish I has a second chance. L
