Mumbai Crowd

I wake up early,
Get ready quickly,
I rush for work,
I run towards local trains,
At times, fighting Mumbai rains,

I prefer hanging on gate,
I am stuck in passage,
or I sit back and enjoy,
I am pushed/pulled by strangers,
I face many dangers,

I am worried about my belongings,
I am listening to songs,
I am reading newspaper,
I am cursing someone,
or I am having plain fun,

I use commuting time for Sleep,
At times, I end up thinking deep,
As train reaches station,
I start finding my way,
Similar story every day,

I get disgusted often,
I hate myself,
For I am the victim,
For I am the crowd,
For I am the crowd.

ps- Yesterday, I was watching "Jab We Met". There was one dialogue stating we hate crowd while being part of crowd - Idea borrowed from movie :-)

Zindagi

Zindagi bahut chhoti hai kaake
Jee le har pal, jee lagaake
Rone se kya milega
Laga lo thode thhahaake

Tolne me har pal
Aaj ban jaayega kal
Kaun safal, kaun vifal
Mrityu to hai atal

Sun mann ki muraad
Baaki sab uske baad
Jab tak hai jaan
Chakh le jahaan ka swaad

Kaun kya kahe
Usse tujhko kya
Ateet ke saaye se bach
Har pal hai nayaa

Jindagi bahut chhoti hai kaake
Jee le har pal, jee lagaake

woh bhi koi din the, aur ek yeh din hai

Ghar ka aangan, Maa ke haatho ka khaana,

gali me kanche, chhat par cricket,

khel khel me gande ho ke aana,

sun kar fatkaar, rone lag jaana.

woh bhi koi din the, aur ek yeh din hai

warden se darr darr kar rehna,

dande ki taal par naachna,

Saathi sehpathiyo ke saath khelna kudna

jab din dhale to wohi mess ka ganda khaana

woh bhi koi din the, aur ek yeh din hai

dosto ke saath masti maze karna,

swantantra panchhi ki tarah udna,

jeevan ke safar me, haar jeet ka rona gaana

jab din dhale to, wohi mess ka ganda khaana

woh bhi koi din the, aur ek yeh din hai

anjaan sheher, anjaan gali,

ajnabi log, ajnabi bhasha,

yaha aakar hi hai humne jaana,

purani jindagi hi thi acchi bhali.

random boredom

precious moment, precious time

shouldn't be wasted on rhyme

but only hell lotta leisure

is property of mine

no matter what

no matter where

I dun know why

boredom was there

the things I liked

things I enjoyed

sooner or later

I was annoyed

random

Khuli aankhe rakhke sona,

Chhoti Moti baaton par rona,

Umr ke maan se bade ho gaye hum

par gaya nahi ab tak bachpana

Swapne lok me khoye rehna

Sach me kuchh karne se darna

Ab tak tha sab seekh lena

shayad kismat me na tha seekhna

Umr ke maan se bade ho gaye hum

par gaya nahi ab tak bachpana

main aur duniya

Karunga me wohi jo duniya ko bhaaye,

aisi karni laaye pachhtava,

phir bhi karta hun mei wahi

kya pata apne mann ki hi sabko pasand aaye

Kya pata duniya ki soch ko main bhaap naa paaya

phir bhi naa jaane kyun yeh dil ghabraaye.

when things weren't going my way

कल था वोह पल
दील में थी हलचल
धीमे धीमे हौले हौले
दील में थी धड़कन

भारतीय प्रबंध संसथान से
जुड़ा है ऐसा बंधन
कभी जिन्दगी है हसीन
कभी मरते है हरदम

बड़ी बड़ी उपलब्धियों के
देखे थे छोटे छोटे सपने
समय की सवारी में
स्वप्न सारे टूटने लगे अपने

सोचा था यही है मंजील
सजायी थी हमने मेहफ़ील
काश उस समय पता होता
के जा राहे है हम कारगील
