Just saying….
Easier said than done!
Better done than said!!!!
Easier said than done!
Better done than said!!!!
I can count my good friends on my fingers, and my friends, well, maybe twice on my fingers… anyone else, and no offence please, is someone that I know or someone who knows me through Chai ki Dukaan, or my flickr page, or through someone I know through chai ki dukaan or my flickr page, or through someone who I know through someone… but com’on!!! friends? its takes something to be called a friend or to be a friend! is it not? or I am just plain stupid?
For me 1 incident, or a couple of them between two people do not make or break friends… its takes time! and something more than the verbal or written or visual to be a friend of someone… a connection that makes you open up and share, and it HAS to be two way!
and I see on blogs and comments and other places, sentences like I love you all, thank you friends, and all that… I find it crazy!
On second thoughts, what is a different word for friend? Are there more words like it which can be used? Is it offensive to admit that you do not treat someone as a friend, but just as someone you know? I personally feel its ok, I would know my place and space and if I don’t I should…
Maybe I am just going crazy! well! never mind!

Wrote this as a comment on Swati’s blog… liked the words and thought of putting them on Chai Ki Dukaan as well !!!
एक कुआँ है
एक प्यासा है
प्यास का एहसास भी
ज़रा ज़रा सा है
थोड़ा आगे बडो ,
प्यास भी बढेगी
दिल से हटाओ तो
दूरी भी हटेगी
पर सिर्फ़ एक कदम चलोगे
ऐसा तो नहीं बोला है
वहां तक कैसे पहुंचोगे
राज़ नहीं खोला है
तो चलते रहो
बड़ते रहो
दूरी ज़रूर ही कम होगी
कुछ ही देर में हर खुशी
भरपूर और हरदम होगी !!!
ek kuan hai
ek pyasa hai
pyas ka ehsaas bhi
zara zara sa hai
thoda aage bado,
pyaas bhi badegi
dil se hatao to
doori bhi hategi
par sirf ek kadam chaloge
aisa to nahin bola hai
wahan tak kaise pahunchoge
raaz nahin khola hai
to chalte raho
badte raho
doori zaroor hi kam hogi
kuch hi der mein har khushi
bharpoor aur hardum hogi !!!
is something that I am not sure is the best thing to do..
When I started working on computers, I was told that every key on the keyboard has a life and it will function only those many times… which basically means that if you have used a couple of keys too much over a period of time, you will not be able to use them anymore and that would in turn mean that your sentences would be incomplete, your codes would be erroneous, your programs would be faulty and results might be disastrous too !!! (I think they did not know that Ctrl C and Ctrl V works magic… but then what if the Ctrl key stops functioning? Can’t imagine a world without that)
What if the same thing applies to a person too, he can use a certain set of words only an “x” number of times and after that he cannot use that word anymore… It might just help us evaluate what we speak before we do, and also increase the value attached to them !!! Also I need to earn my right to use the words… To start with I think this would apply to me first, I speak freely and too freely at times, but that can be misinterpreted because of multiple reasons… A better way, I guess, would be to hold on to words and take my time before I start talking again… tough? Yes. Doable? again yes? Thinking about it? Yes! Will I do it? Yes!
But then some people say and believe that Silence is golden… I don’t really agree to it all the time… There are times when you gotta speak up and there are times when you gotta let something other than your words say what you wanted to say !!!
So all I am saying is open your word tap wisely, there is only so much you are left with !!!
And because of people who cannot keep their word… An incident, and words pour… another incident, a few more words and a few days later… everything back to where it started from…
Hindi mein kehte hain na… चार दिन की चांदनी, फिर अँधेरी रात… this phrase makes me smile always 🙂 dunno why…
Now, what makes my being tired irrelevent is the good news that one of Bindiya’s articles is now a part of IGNOU’s Course Material for a Diploma Course in Displacement and has been published along with some big names in the field of Resettlement and Rehabilitation… Good work Girl !!! Murari is proud of you !!!
Isn’t it nice that Uncle God usually packages the not so good stuff with something to smile and and cheer for… Thank you God Uncle… Let me be blessed 🙂 ok, a few more people I like as well…
What follows is his post… and you may want to share your thoughts, opinions etc etc on it… and I will leave it to him to read and react…
“there is a strength in some emotions [or state of mind] that surpasses the face masks that you put on your faces and make themselves visible with an inexcusable brazeness. and yesterday a visit to PVR confirmed my faith in strength that one of these emotions called love has. although it might be a mis-read [given the quality of good photographers and talented make-up artists] but kareena in that poster had a face that had beauty and grace which being in love and made humble by it only could bring. there was this calm on her face, which revolves around pain, that was accentuated by the urge to suppress the turmoil inside. there were words in those eyes that could pierce hearts to core.
i guess love only could bend you and still don’t let you feel ashamed about it. or maybe the unfairness of it all makes you a pitied person in your own eyes.”
I also have something to say about what he wrote in the last line… but I guess I will keep it for future and not write it now…
