The most fascinating person I've never met


The most fascinating person I've never met

Had it been 'ever' instead of 'never' in the title, it would have been much easier for me as I wouldn't have much choice other than my childhood love, the first friend of my life and my real life hero, my father (although choosing between both of them is also quite difficult).

Anyways, hearing of the title, the first name which came to my mind was my childhood hero, the GOD of cricket, Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar. I know that no one outside my home knows that I have always been a die-hard Sachin fan. Ever since I have enjoyed watching cricket, my heart praises only him. I have always adored his intensity, attitude and his passion towards the game and the country.

The 2nd name to come in my mind was the person I idolize, Dr. A.P.J.Abdul Kalam. He has been a source of inspiration to millions of people in the country including me from my school days. His vision and spirit help me in self-motivation.

The 3rd name to think of was Bill Gates, who brought people close to computers or vice versa. From the initial days of my school when I just started using computers, I have dreamt of meeting him and being a part of Microsoft. (It doesn't matter much now as he is not heading it anymore)

While I was thinking of names like Michael Schumacher, Ratan Tata, Bhagat Singh and many more who are my favorites and have motivated me all my life, I was becoming sure of one thing that they have just been a source of inspiration and although I adore them, I have never wanted to be another copy of them.

So, whom am I actually fascinated with and before that, what am I really fascinated with ???
I am not after name and fame, rather I dream of a person who is adventure loving, listens to his heart, prioritizes his family and friends before everything, can do stupidest things without hesitation and above all, knows the art of making his life happy and beautiful along with people around him.

I think I know such a person but I would prefer he should not be named along with the above names and it is my bad luck/good luck that I can't even meet him ever.

Jab baat dil me koi nahi . . .


       Jab baat dil me koi nahi . . .

Aankhein hain nam kyun
jab baat dil me koi nahi
neend hai aajkal kam kyun
      jab baat dil me koi nahi . . .

sapne bhi to hain jaali
baatein bhi khali khali
dard dil me hai utha kyun
      jab baat dil me koi nahi . . .

na din ka pata, na main janu raat
mujhme na rahi wo purani baat
har pal, har chhan main marta kyun
      jab baat dil me koi nahi . . .

ghar-parivar, dost-yaar rishtedaar
sabse hi main kat gaya hun
kitne tukdo me bat gaya hun
mere khwab bhi dhundhle ho rahe kyun
      jab baat dil me koi nahi . . .

gum ho gayi jindagi kahin
na jane kya karna chahun
ek pal hasna, rona chahun
ek pal jeena, marna chahun
na jane hai khushiyan kam kyun
      jab baat dil me koi nahi . . .

dil ki hi to hardam sunta hun
dil se hi main sab kuchh karta hun
par dheere-dheere, haule-haule
dil ki main na ab sun pata hun
dil se main na kuchh kar pata hun
dil apna hi lagta paraya kyun
      jab baat dil me koi nahi . . .

Letter to someone very close to my heart


Letter to someone very close to my heart

My dearest dreamgirl,

I love you and I love you very much.
I see you in my dreams, I see you with my eyes open. I have ceased to know the difference between my dream and reality. One second, I believe you are with me, the next second I know you are not. I am happy and sad at the same time. I am dying, I am dying without you.

I'm searching you...
I'm waiting for you...
To see you once,
I'm ready to die a million deaths...

I don't know when and how I started loving you but I know I am incomplete without you. My love is a sea of two drops of tears, a journey to eternity and I'll love to have you with me in this journey . . .
I don't know if we will ever meet or not but I'll wait and I'll wait for you till my last breadth.

Love you.

Yours and truly only yours,
Rakesh

Dil ki kashti


Dil ki kashti

Mere dil ki gehraiyon me
doooooooor kisi kone me
duniya ki najron se bacha ke
band darwajon me chhupa ke
hai ek chhota sa raaz daba hua
jane kab, kis se khafa hua
batlana main sabko chahun
par chabi tak na jaa paoon
koi khol de dil ke taale ko
aajaad kare mann matwale ko
dil jhoom jara nache-gaaye
lafz aankhon se gar beh jaaye
har bandhan aaj mera toote
koi naya raag mann me foote
ho soch nayi, ho pyaas nayi
jeevan jeene ki aas nayi
aur hawaon me bhi ho
ek nayi taazgi, barsaat nayi
ud jaun main is nabh ke paar
kalpanao ke main pankh pasaar
jeevan-mrityu ke is majhdaar
me khushiyon ke dhoondun pal char
haste-gaate beete har pal
jeene ka lun andaaj badal
har pal me masti poori ho
na khwaish koi adhoori ho
chahe meri har saans, har dhadkan
      ho mere FUNeral me bhi FUN . . .

Ek Khwaab dekha, jisme tumhe dekha


Ek Khwaab dekha, jisme tumhe dekha

Ek Khwaab dekha
jisme tumhe dekha
tum lag rahe the achchhe
sundar, salone bachche
bachche hain hote natkhat
din bhar hain karte khat-pat
bachpan ki wo nadani
sunna dadi ki kahani
baarish ki wo pyaari naav
khelna - dhoop ho ya chaanv
masti bhare har mausam
      the awesome, awesome, awesome . . .

O...O...sorry for getting lost
     fir se start karta hun . . .

Ek Khwaab dekha
jisme tumhe dekha
tum saamne khade the
hum bike pe ade the
bike pe doston sang masti
karna raat bhar matargashti
birthday bumps ki laatein
wo proposals ki baatein
wo january ki ice-cream
Katrina in Gallardo ka dream
wo life kya sahi thi
      masti me kat rahi thi . . .

O...O...fir se bhatak gaya
      ek baar fir try karta hun . . .

Ek Khwaab dekha
jisme tumhe dekha
haule se jo tum sharmayi
mere dil pe keher dhayi
dil se bhi kuchh hamein yaad aaya hai
khidki khuli, ek chehra saamne paaya hai
muskaan to aisi hai katilana
kar deti hai mujhko deewana
surili aawaaj ka jo jaadu hai
kar deta dil ko bekaabu hai
par dooriyon se aankh bhar aayi hai
      gam aur khushi sang layi hai . . .

O...O...not again
lagta hai aaj din hi achchha nahi hai

chalo kisi aur din tumhe sunaunga
apna khwaab apni najron se dikhaunga
mood to hamara aaj bhi sahi hai
aur baat dil ne yahi kahi hai
ki

Ek Khwaab dekha
      jisme tumhe dekha . . .

ज़िन्दगी


ज़िन्दगी

खुश रहना सिखलाए ज़िन्दगी
गम का एहसास कराए ज़िन्दगी
इंसान जो न करना चाहे
उससे वो भी करवाए ज़िन्दगी

राहों में जो हों कांटे
विचलित न जरा होना
आग में तप कर ही
खरा सोना बनाए ज़िन्दगी

हर पल की है कुछ कीमत
हर शख्स जरूरी है
गर आज नहीं तो कल
मिट जानी ये दूरी है
हर रूह अधूरी है
पूरी करवाए ज़िन्दगी
गर तुमको है चाहत
दिलों को मिलवाए ज़िन्दगी

जीवन में जो हो संगी
दुनिया ख्वाबों से जिसके रंगी
हो साथ तो जी सकते हैं
       एक लम्हे में पूरी ज़िन्दगी  . . .
