The Moments

It was my childhood friend Anurag's wedding and I thought to give it a miss. As my family was going, so I thought I can just excuse myself and keep on with work. A day before his marriage he called me up and asked, 'Rajat, kaha hai tu?' and I replied that 'I'm so sorry yaar, I could probably not make it though I'm trying' to which he replied, 'aisa mat kar yaar, shadi baar bar nahi hoti, tujhe aana hi padega kaise bhi karke, tu aa bus'. I rushed to grab the tickets for Indore and left for his wedding. Had I missed his wedding I would have missed a lot. It had that silent sharing of happiness, a very genuine feeling of friendship and the joy of being in my friends wedding. He kept me close and held my hand when I went on stage. At phere and shadi he kept looking at me from time to time, as if saying to me 'accha lag raha hai ki tu dekh raha hai ki meri shadi ho rahi hai'. Heartfelt... every single moment.
Then I returned to Pune and went to school the next day. A kid, Ruksar, came running to me held my hand and asked me 'Rajat bhaiya tum kaha the, itne din tak kyun nahi aaye... aaj to tumhe mere sath rehna padega' and then I sat there watching her finish her lunch with her friends. She was content in that and so was I. The love this kid showers me with.. though I have never done anything for her, not even brought a single chocolate for her.
Two days, Two persons... both held my hand, shared their joy with me, indebted me with their love and a feeling called APNAPAN.

A Letter from INDIA to the Indian Cricket Team

Image
Dear Team India, You know that cricket is celebrated like festival in India. It runs like blood in the veins of every Indian, be it rich or poor. No Wonder the anxiety and anticipation of India-Australia cricket quarterfinals on 24 th March 2011 overshadowed the death anniversary of Shahid Bhagat Singh that fell on 23 rd March, 2011 (his 80 th death anniversary). No one for once remembered, forget paying tribute, the young man who sacrificed his life at the age of 23 for independent India. The nation was enthralled with the anticipation of witnessing Sachin’s 100th century in international cricket and his 18000 run feast. Let’s not forget how many ‘havans’ and ‘special prayers’ were done for your victory against Australia in the quarterfinals. The martyrs of the past are now the part of history textbook but you the Indian Team are the current heroes of the Nation. We look up to you to give us something, a recognition of “sporty India”; a recognition apart from the “poor victims of...

The One in Life

Agar khud par hosla rakhon to main sekdo se bhi lad jaunga, Aur agar na rakhon to khud hi ladkhada kar gir jaunga. life is all about finding that one thing you really care about. That one special thing that means more to you than anything else in the world. ......And when you find it, you fight for it. You risk all You put it in front of everything... your future, your life... all of it. Even if I try and put in my best to explain by what I mean by this I might not do justice to it. It's very introspective, just introspect.

Finally, now I understand

There were times when even the smallest of the gifts were the most cherished ones and there are times when even the costliest gifts seem so petty. How even a comic book was the most cherished gift I got in my childhood and now even the 50k bike was not good enough for me. How even the 10Rupee note was once so gratifying for the new year celebration and now even a 1000 seems so scrimpy. There were times when I thought that love is as pure as sapphire and then there was a time when I learnt that love was just a profane desire. There were times when even the biggest of disputes/fights that I had with friends in the morning got resolved by the evening and then there are times when even the smallest of altercations have taken years and still there are no resolutions. There were times when I was taught that to lie/cheat is the biggest crime and how now I cheat myself and others to earn the green bucks. I have grown up and in the transition from a child, I have lost somethings and acquired so...
