One Black Night
Thursday, 14 March 2013
One night with her.
It Was dark all over. Just few street lights were making the things visible. I saw her in that hazy light while returning from work. She was almost naked. She was in blood. Some vehicle must have run through her, I thought. I ran to her to check whether she is dead or alive. Luckily she was still alive. Just few scraches and small wounds created by the accident were visible. But she was senseless.
I thought to leave her alone. But I don't know why, I picked her up in my arms and walked towards my home. May be it was the result of my kind hearted personality. She needed help and I was going to help her out. She was not to heavy to walk with.
Anyway, we reached my home. As I was alone there, so no one was there to ask a question. I put her on my bed. I cleaned her wounds and applied some antiseptics. She was feeling better I guess. She opened her eyes and got scared seeing me. But soon she got relaxed.
She was feeling weak. I fed her. And I too had dinner. She was feeling sleepy and me too. So we made ourselves comfortable on sofa and bed each. In the morning I will leave her, I thought.
I Was in the dark sleep when I felt something beside me. It was very soft and silky. I got up and switched on the light. She was there, just beside me. Cool and calm face and relaxed body. She was looking beautiful. I didn't want to disturb her and we spent the night on the same bed and in the same blanket.
In the morning, she was all over me. Humping and jumping on the bed. Running from the One corner to other. Making noise in her own style. The morning seemed a little different. At least someone was there to greet me. I looked at her again. She was looking cute. Not a bad company she was, I thought. I dropped the plan to leave her.
You know what, she still lives with me. And I call her 'salty'. Yes, she liked the new name. We are having fun time with each other.
Now she always greets me with a bad 'myau' when I get back from office everyday. And I take her into my arms and kiss her. Beautiful life has become.
Kundan vidyarthy.

Valentines and My Heart Broke Again
I was very excited. I was going to share my feelings with the one I loved. I spent all night in eyes to meet him. It was hard to wait now. I was standing there under the beautiful moon. I didn't care coldness or the Rain. I didn't care that the dew will make me wet. The excitement to meet him never let me think about anything else.
Finally it arrived. The beautiful morning. I was still feeling fresh, just like the beautiful morning. The whole environment was singing the song of love. Everyone was dancing on the tune of love. And so was I. He must be arriving, I thought. I was unable to control my excitement. My legs were dancing like never before. I was feeling to fly. Some moments more and I will be in his arms, I thought. Kissing, Hugging and making love. It was going to be the best day of my life.
I saw him. He was almost flying to me. I too wanted to run to him but my excitement couldn't let me move my legs. I kept watching him. I was trying to hold my excitement. He stopped in front of me. Our eyes met again. I could see the love in his eyes for me. I was feeling overwhelmed. I couldn't stop my arms to strech for him. I wanted to welcome him with a hug.
But it couldn't happen. I couldn't even touch him. Another unknown hand came from nowhere and dragged me with him. He was taking me far away from my love. I begged. I shouted. And I cried. I wanted help. But no one could understand my pain. No one turned to help me. I was forced to move with the enemy of my love.
My love was no more visible. I was tired of crying and shouting. I turned to the one who was the responsible for my situation. He was looking very happy, just like I was excited some moments ago. He was looking at me and smiling. I forgot my pain when I saw his smile. A smile ran over my dry lips. At least I could make someone happy. My sacrifice was not a waste. He was happy because he could get me. This thought was enough to fill my body with energy. I was happy again. I was feeling proud that he was holding my hand. I was feeling secured in his safe hands.
I was still looking in his beautiful eyes when he came down on his knees. He didn't left my hand and dragged me just in front of him. His head was bending and eyes were on earth. Oh My god! Was he going to propose me? Excitement ran over my face again. I won't mind accepting his proposal, I thought.
"I Love You. I Love You Very Very Much."
And he said it. The three magical words. My face was going red. I looked up in the sky and thanked the god for such a beautiful moment. I was just about to say a "yes" to my admirer when another hand almost snatched my hand from him. I turned my head back. There was she, a pretty beautiful girl in front of me. Soon their lips were kissing each other. My heart broke again. I wanted to run away but was forced to stop there. The girl was still holding my hand. I put my head on his shoulder and cried again. Cried for my heart and shouted to god. I almost cursed the boy and the god too. I was forced to sacrifice once again.
Somehow I managed to control myself. We were walking on the street. Me, the boy and the girl. I had to put a smile on my lips and the reason was they both were happy at the moment.
Suddenly I felt some pain in my body. I felt like my body is getting torn. I looked up. Her cruel fingers were tearing my body into parts. Each and every part was falling here and there. Her fingers were wet with my blood but still she was liking it. I was shouting again but she didn't stop. She kept tearing me. I had to give up finally. I stopped shouting. Why God? I looked up in the sky. Why every time I had to pay? I sacrificed and you this is the what I got in return? But god was not answering like everytime.
Sometimes they break me in various parts. Sometimes I find myself in the dustbin at the end of the day. and sometime they crash me under their boot. Is this what I am destined to. Growing up between the thorns and ending my life this way. I always tried to make them happy. I always spread happiness. And this is what I get. Every thing was silent and the last part of my body was sliding from her fingers.

I hate you mom.
I was standing there in my balcony. Looking up in the sky. Everything was covered with the darkness of the night. But sky was still looking beautiful. Full of twinkling stars. Its always a good experience for me to vision a great sight. A happy experience always.
But tonight it was different. I was in a loss that can't be filled by anything. More than me it was my five year old daughter I was worried about. She was most affected by this event. We lost what we were in need of.
I was trying to find something in those twinkling stars. No, I couldn't, but there was still a hope which was keeping my eyes open. May be my life is breathing in there, I thought. May be the sentence 'Our dear ones always keep an eye on us and become star after death' is right.
"Dad. What you looking for?" I looked down. My Rockstar was holding my hand. Her eyes were sad. Always smiling girl was quite like never before.
"Hey my little angel, had your dinner?"
"No, I am not hungry. Why didn't you had your dinner?" she said in her cute but sad voice. I took her up in my arms.
"Dad is not feeling to eat baby but you must not forget to dine."
"Missing mom. Do you." her words went tearing my heart. I nodded. Of course I was missing my wife but more than that I was missing the mother of my daughter. I couldn't find anything funny to make my Rockstar smile. Got busy finding the faces.
"Wanna meet mom?" I broke the silence. She looked in my eyes with some hope.
"But mom is not here with us?" she said with the same sad tone.
"But we can see her"
"Really??"
"Look up there in the sky. You see that star" I pointed towards the star which was looking lonely without any other around it.
"Yes...."
"That's your mom. She is smiling. Say hi to mom."
She looked there for a moment. May be she was confirming it. She Got down from my arms and walked some little steps to the corner.
"You won't come na. Okay. If you cant walk back from there to me soon then me too can't see you smiling there. I won't talk to you. I hate you. I hate you mom" I was in sock after listening this from a five year old. Forgot to react. She ran away from the balcony.
That was the day and this is the day after almost twenty years. My little grown up angel was getting married tonight.
The girl who hated stars all her life was standing at the same place looking up in the sky today. I walked to her. She looked at me. She was crying. I wiped her visible tears and she broke in my arms.
"I hate her dad. I hate mom" again the same words I heard between the cries. I felt someone is tearing my heart out again. I wish I could get her mom back once. I wish god allow her mom to walk back once to her daughter.

Bete ka dil.
Yun to main har subah jaldi uth jaata hu par aaj merI neend zara Der se khuli. Ya yun keh lijiye ki 4 ghante Der khuli. Main Av nityakarmo se nivrit ho, snan kar ke baahar nikla hi tha ki kisi ki aawaj Aai. Saayad wo daakiya tha. Main Thora achambhit sa ho gaya. Aaj ke jamaane me daakiya aur wo v chithhi lekar. Ye to kamal hi hk gaya. Us se v aascharya mujhe iss baat pe hua k iss phone aur mails ke jamaane me mere aise kaun se chahne waale ho gaye jinhone mujhe chithhi bheji hai. Koi baat nahi Pehle chithhi to le lu fir pata to chalna hi hai us subhchintak ke baare me.
Main baahar nikla to daakiya babu aaram se kursi pe baith kar akhbaar ka aanand le rahe the jaise ki ye unka hi ghar ho aur unhe kuchh kaam bacha na ho karne ke liye. Namastey daak babu, bare din baad dikhe aap to kabhi humari v khoj khabar v le liya karo, Maine puchha. Aur unka jawab v kuchh jana pehchana sa hi tha, aajkal chithhiya kaun bhejta hai sharma ji. Daftar me kaam nai to jaana aana v kam hi rehta hai. Sach v to tha, iss chhote se Gaon ka daakghar kaha kaam me aata hai kisi ke. Wahan to log baith ke patte khela karte hain. Iss aadhunikta ne kuchh chijo ko to mitane ki hi thaan li ho jaise.
Maine un mahasay se wo apni chithhi le li Lekin dekha to wo kuchh purani si lagi par likhawat kuchh jaani pehchani si. Ye chithhi aapko kaha se mil gayi, Maine daak babu se puchhh hi liya. Kya batau bhai saahab, diwali aa rahi haI so aaj Daftar ki saaf safaai me laga tha aur ye aapke naam ki chithhi mujhe mil gayi. Socha ke aapko pahucha v dunga aur isi bahaane aspse mil v lunga aur main daura chala aaya. Unka jawab mujhe raas naa aaya, log sahi karte hain ab daak ka istemaal nahi karte hain. Kam se kam khabar to beech me kisi ki laparwahi ki wajah se nahi atak jaati. Gussa kar ke koi fayada v nahI tha. Maine aaram se chithi kholi, likhawat mere bade bete sanjay ki thi. Main us chithhi ko padhta chala gaya. Padhte padhte meri aankhe bhar aayi. Saayad wo paschataap ke aansu the. Saayad main apne khun ko kabhi samajh hi nahi paaya, iss baat ka dukh tha ya aakrosh ki ab main kuchh nahi kar sakta. Mujhe aaj bhi yaad hai jab saat saal Pehle Maine uski Saadi ki thi aur wo bina koi sawal Kiev meri baat Maana baitha tha Lekin kuchh udaas sa. Uski hansi kahi gayab si ho gayi thi. Kaas main uski udaasi ki wajah jaan pata uss din to aaj sab khus hote aur wo v Muskuraati raha hota. Kaas ye baat mujhe Pehle pata chal jaati ki mere bete ki khusi kisi aur me hai to main uski Saadi jarur uski pasand ki Larki se karwa deta. Usne to mujhe bas ek baar us Larki se milne ko kaha tha Lekin Main ye v na kar saka . Kaise karta, ye kambakht chithhi Jo aaj mili hai mujhe. Chhoti si galti jiski saja wo av v bhugat raha hai. Bina sikayat ke jiye jaa raha hai. Ab ho bhi kya sakta hai. Iss baat ko to saat saal beet chuke hain.
Mujhe ji bhar ke Khud ko kosne ko ji chaah raha tha.mujhe gussa aa raha tha, Khud pe ya daakiye pe ya sanjay pe, main ye tak samajh nahI paa raha tha. Kaas Usne ek baar kaha hota, kehta kaise ?Usne aaj tak mujhse sar uthakar baat bhi ki hai kya. Saari galti meri hi hai aur kuchh iss nikammi Dak vibhag ki bhi.
Aap ro rahe hai sharma ji, aisa kya hai iss chithhi me, daak babu ne puchha. Mujhe jawab sujha nahi. Maine Socha kuchh Der tak aur kaha ' ye ek bete ka dil hai Jo ek baap kabhi samajh naa paaya.' daak babu bas mujhe dekhte reh gaye.

The lonely caravan
Once there was a caravans. Many people were there in that caravan. Of different age groups. Heading on an empty road. Very calm that caravan was. No one was talking like no one knows how to talk. All were sad. All in a sad caravan that was with a pin drop silence in there. Marching ahead leaving the traces of their tears. A very unique caravan.
This was not a usual one, had a history behind it. Once a lonely person stepped up on this empty road, leaving all his people who never cared for him. He was sad coz he was leaving them. And crying because no one tried to stop him. He kept walking. Soon another lonely person stepped on the same path and joined him. But no one spoke to each other, they were so sad. Thus one by one lonely people joined and thus formed the caravan. To say they were walking in a caravan but actually they were still alone with their own thoughts.
After a long journey on the same path they saw a young boy is coming from the other end. He was looking happy. How can he be so happy alone, they thought. The boy stopped near them and asked that where are they going. We don't know, one of them said. Where the path will take us, another answered. The happy looking boy adviced them not to go ahead coz the path has no end and they will get tired walking. He asked them to come with him.
They rejected the offer and asked why he was happy. The boy smiled again and answered,"I was also a lonely person while I was going on this path. I got tired and stopped at a place Under a big tree. I saw a bird sitting on the branch of that tree. Soon another one joined him from other tree and they flew away together. I thought that I am not the only who is hurt. I am not the only who alone. Many like me there in this world. So if birds can do this why we can't. Why we lonely people cant get together and be happy making our own world. So I got back to find sad and lonely people and spread some smiles. But why you all looking so sad." he finished asking another question.
The caravan people were surprised. They thought that they are so many and still not happy. They felt fool. They were Impressed with the boy. They joined the boy in making another happy world.
Now the caravan was moving back with one more people. They were smiling now. They were heading towards a new future to spread some smile.
N. A: never think that you are alone, there are many like you. So always find the reason to be happy. And spread smiles over the lips which think they are alone.

And I resigned.
Destiny, some people don't believe in such words and some do. But sometimes or the other destiny play such games that we have to walk on the which destiny chose for us anyway.
I never believed that such things exist in this busy competitive world. I always did what was decided by some people. I never had a choice to listen to my heart or to think by myself. In school days always busy with the classes and the books. A boring kid I was who never played, never talked, never smiled may be. And to girls, never gave them a look. I was afraid of them may be.
All the hard work with books paid of and I got another four years to spent with books and experimentation in IIT. Result favored me and I was getting a six digit salary from an MNC. I was getting everything for which a middle class Indian wish for. But something very important was missing in my life. The smile, I forgot when I laughed last time. I was still a boring person. A person without a friend and time for the family. Always got complaint from mom dad and my younger sister. I never had a time for them to talk and to sit with them. Can't help me anyway. 14 hours of work almost. And after such a tiring day less energy to do some other things. I was having a life of slave.
I never dreamt. Never had a goal in my life. I just carried on doing what I was said. Good grades for good salary. Never got time for myself. I kept on working and achieving for the company without any complaint. But I was certainly not enjoying it.
32 years of age and not any attended party in my list. A lot of times thought to run away from everything and live a life the way I want to but I was not that lucky to listen my heart. I was tired from this life. The life in which I always missed. I was just alive nOt living.
One morning I got a bit early for my office, left the car at home. On the way , I saw a happy couple. I wished a life like that. I wished that some one loves me and always be by my side. I saw some kids playing. I never did that. I was getting jealous of those kids. Every little thing was laughing on me I felt. Every one was making a joke on me.
Why I can't be the part of this smiling world. Why i cant be happy. Why can't I Do something for myself. Why cant i have some friends. Why can't i spent time with my loving family.
I decide for the first time. Just for myself. I listened to my heart for the first time. I wrote a letter and reached my office, first time I was late. Directly went to the boss' cabin. Before he could scold me for coming late, I placed the letter on his desk. That was my resignation. I got out of the office feeling a lot better.
There are a lot of people who dont get a chance to smile for some or the other reason. I made my goal to spread some smile. To make some people happy. I wanted to learn how to live a life.
I smiled and put a step forward towards the happiness.
