अनकही कहानी



भले ही एक आंगन में नहीं पले थे
पर हमेशा हाथ पकड़ कर चले थे
साथ तो बचपन से था
कुछ बनना ही था दोनों का सपना
जितना करीब घर था
उतना करीब दिल भी था अपना ।


याद होगा तुझे भी कितना साथ रहते थे
कुछ भी होता तो बस एक दूसरे से कहते थे
इतने साल बाद तुझमें एकदम से इतना बदलाव कैसे आया
सच कहूं तो मैं ये बिल्कुल नहीं समझ पाया
आज तक तो हमने कुछ नहीं था छुपाया
पर देख तूने इतना कुछ किया
फिर भी मैन तुझे कुछ नहीं बताया


ठीक या खराब  था जब सब
कहा नहीं कुछ मैंने न तूने तब
फिर क्यों तूने ऐसा किया
जहां मुझे जरूरत थी वहीं छोड़ दिया
अगर इतना ही जीतना था तुझे
कह देता एक बार मुझे
खुद को तो हार ही जाता
और ये दुनिया भी जीत कर देता तुझे ।


गम इस बात का नहीं है कि
शायद कोई और मिल गया होगा तुझे
बस इसीलिए अब मेरी जरूरत नहीं थी तुझे
पर हाँ, उम्मीद नहीं थी मुझे
किसी ऐसे मोड़ पर तू हारेगा
पर सोचा न था कि तू मरेगा
और मुझे भी मारेगा ।


बात ही कुछ ऐसी थी
कि मैं कह नहीं सकता
और तू समझ नहीं सकता
क्योंकि कुछ ऐसा था अपने बीच
क्या था तू , कौन था तू ये कभी मैं जान न पाया
इतना प्यार किया फिर भी मरते दम तक पहचान न पाया


जिससे भी प्यार किया वो दूर गया
पर तू हमेशा से साथ था
हर किसी के जाने पर भी
थामा तूने ये हाथ था
चला गया तू ये दुनिया छोड़ कर
पता नहीं तुझे कहीं और क्या काम था
दुनिया तो जलती ही थी हमें साथ देखकर
पर अब भी नहीं जानता मैं कि इस रिश्ते का क्या नाम था ।

Naked

A few months back, I came across a  YouTube short  of  Slavoj Žižek . I don’t watch reels or shorts as it’s a rabbit hole. Once you’re in, getting out is hard. That reel was a part of his interview and had a story.  Žižek  is a Slovenian philosopher. A girl came to  Žižek  and told him that when his last lover saw her naked, he told her to lose a few extra pounds. Her lover thinks she will be perfect once she loses 3 -4 extra pounds.  Žižek  told her not to lose that extra pound. He said that imperfection is the cause of desire. This imperfection held him close to her. He might lose interest in her once she loses those extra pounds. It is called the objective cause of desire in psychoanalysis. That brought two things to my mind. First, we are humans and naturally wired to find negatives anywhere. It is just simple threat protection mechanism. So if the girl secrets the extra pound, his partner’s eyes would the...

Bad Company : With a touch of Indian history

Those who do not read the history tend to repeat it.  Ever heard the above quote ?    In school we had a story of a bad company and a friend of mine, Sanjay said jokingly 'all company is bad company'. Don't go into grammatical errors of it since we were Hindi medium students and more importantly kids. I think both of us now working for some corporate would agree to this with some extent but I am sure that Sanjay had not said this keeping corporate in mind because we were in middle school and we did not know where would we go.  Possible comparison he must have done is East India Company to Bad company of friends, bad friends can do enough damage to you in similar ways that East India Company did to India. Though, this reasoning can now be linked to corporate as well. Choice is personal and reasoning as well, but the thought can not be discarded altogether at once. I do have my reasons but let's get into history and see if we have something in common between East Indi...

Symbols

“Why are you obsessed with death?” “No, I am not.” “Well, you are. Because you are not afraid to talk about it.” “Yes, that’s right. I know I am going to die, and so are you. No matter how much I love you, I know you are going to die. Also, It’s symbolic as well, and not actual always.” “What do you mean by symbolic and actual?” “People die actually, and people die symbolically. You’ve not yet thought about how one can die symbolically. That’s all, but now this thought is not going to leave your mind.” “Stop it, please. Why talk about it, even if this is going to happen.” “Not talking about it also not going to stop it. Being immortal is the worst thing that can happen to us.” “I wouldn’t say so.. but still stop. I don’t want to talk now.” .. and then I stopped with a smile, knowing the person was going to die, either before me or after me. Things I did, Things we, in general, do in love will hold no meaning after some time, this is death. Death is not just limited to the hum...
