Jo beet gayi so baat gayi

Jo beet gayi so baat gayi
Jeevan mein ek sitara tha
Maana woh behad pyara tha
Woh doob gaya toe doob gaya
Ambar ke anan ko dekho
Kitney iske taarey tootey
Kitney iske pyarey chhootey
Jo chhoot gaye fir kahan miley?
Par bolo tootey taaron par
Kab ambar shok manata hai???

An extract from a poem by Harivansh Rai Bachchan that we had, so innocently read in school, without understanding the meaning. The spirit of the whole poem is very zindadil, urging the real man to go ahead. It rightly asks the man to live in present, thus paving foundation for a better future, by forgetting the past mis-haps. The poet has rightly asked not to have any regrets. Just to carry on.

But is it that easy to bring these lines to our lives? Is it possible for me NOT to think and get saddened in such a case? Sky has millions and billions of stars. Is that the case with me, too? NO. So why should I sport a fake smile? I don't intend to present a grim face. Still..............

BUT yeah! I believe that time is the best healer. And it shall heal me, too.

Tab tak, koshishein jaari rahengi , to live life, to the fullest.
