modesty of mistakes

What deserves our gratitude once we reach our desired destination

luck for popping opportunities
courage that kept us going
madness that kept us head strong
hard work that turned opportunities into benchmarks of success

or the very forgotten

MISTAKES ... the wrong ways, the wrong decisions that happened while the journey. The mistakes which take us through all those negative feelings of stress, anger, breakdowns that we find pain running through our veins, but finally make the success taste lot more better than what it would have done with smooth and hassle free journey.

The realization of dreams and goals is not because of their significance but due to their absence which is felt when we take these wrong ways......

ज़िन्द्गी

क्षितिज को छुता आस्मान,
जगाऐ है दिल मे यह अरमान,
रंगो के बादलो पर हॉस्लो के पन्ख फैलाकर तो देखो

अपनी बाहें खोले है समन्दर,
दूर दरास्त है मुश्कीलो के बव्ंदर,
लहेरो की आगोश मे अपनी कश्ती ऊतारकर तो देखो

मीलो तक बिछी है धरती,
कठीनाईयो से आगाह है करती,
इसके आंचल मे अपने कदम रखकर तो देखो

माना मूश्कील है ज़िन्दगी,
फिर भी मुखातिर है ज़िन्द्गी,
ल्म्हो के दाव-पेच आज़्माकर तो देखो

A SEARCH WITHIN ...

I find myself in a painter,
When I see a canvas worked in colors

I find myself in an actor,
When I find my emotions portrayed in an act

I find myself in a waitress,
When I get my meal served with smile

I find myself in a photographer,
When I find silence in a picturesque busy street

I find myself in a traveler,
When I can symbolize a place by just a street

I find myself in a filthy rich bitch,
When I am greedy for carrying loads of shopping bags

I find myself in a sadhu,
When i hear the temple bells ring

Still need to find a soul in me,
That truly belongs to me,
That has bits of all,
That mirrors all colors of me in one canvas,
That reflects all emotions of me in one spot light,
That serves me meal keeping intact the smile within,
Being my true negative, capturing every bit of me,
Which keeps me moving to find the me within,
Which curbs my greeds to my needs and
Rings the bells within when it connects to me
