Kya Tum Bhi?

Kya Tum Bhi ?

Shaam Ki Dehleez Pe

Aas ka Deep jalatay Ho,

Aur

Kisi Aawara Patte ki Aahat Par

Darwaze ki Taraf Bhaage Jatay ho,

Kya Tum Bhi ?

Dard Chupane Ki Koshish karte karte

Aksar Thak se jatay ho

Aur bina Wajah muskuratay ho

Kya Tum Bhi ?

Neend se pehle palkon per

dhairon khwab sjatay ho

ya phir bister per lait kar 

rote rote so jatay ho

Kya Tum Bhi? 

(~Faisal)

Forever n ever

This needs to be saved and said forever n ever. 

Love this from - The Fault in our Stars (John Green)

A dream. A wish.

Festivals. Celebrations. Happiness. Sharing. Caring. Loving. 

Thats the spirit of the season. 

The sparkle of lights

And chill in air

Makes a perfect atmosphere to feel cozy

And share smiles with your loved ones. 

Distance can be a big dampner at such times. It has been for many years now and was no different this season.  

This time it felt even emptier than ever. 

But then step in some God sent divine souls. 

They make you smile. They make you laugh. They make you forget about mundane life. They listen. They shower love. They make life seem like a celebration. No distance, no gap, no mode, nothing becomes a hinderance. 

They stay with you when the world seems aloof. They give you the perfect peppy talk without overdoing it to the level of preaching. They give you memories to last forever. They give to enough reasons to smile & be thankful. 

How this sounds like a dream world! But its as true as these falling rain drops, as the hide n seek that the sun is playing, as the fluffy clouds are floating around freely! 

It is not just a moment. Its an experience. It can only be felt ... With a true open heart. 

As with every ray of light there looms the fear of dark clouds covering it up, so is the fear in this heart. This heart is scared to think this might just be a passing phase. This soul is petrified of being left alone soon again. This mind reckons this dream would end as soon as i open my eyes. 

So i let out this wish in this universe... 

O universe - please let these soulful content moments become days, days become weeks and weeks become years and years....let it be a Never ending dream !!

Letter to Someone You miss the most (Letter - 6)

My dear dear dear "P"

You have been a part of my life for pretty much whole of it. We developed this bond of ours over the years and it has only gone stronger. I think that's how it is in every such relationship.

I look forward to talking to you. I look forward to your mail or call.

You are younger than me but my strongest support each time I am in a dip and need a push to stand up again. You are much more stable in your thoughts and stronger in dealing with life's challenges. I admire you for that.

Sometimes I sit and wonder how did you turn out like that. How do you do it!
I know you have your own share of worries to deal with...but its rarely that I see you feeling so down and negative. I love your positivity.

Your hardworking attitude and "You can do it" will is obvious. No wonder that inspite of being the youngest of us you have emerged as the best! There is not second thought about that.

I must confess that sometimes I am envious of you for being so sorted and maintaining a stable head on your shoulders. For never giving up in any situation. For being there for everyone always.

You are an excellent wife, a truly loving mom, a wonderful daughter and daughter-in-law.....and THE BEST sister on  can ask for.

Stay blessed, Stay Happy, Keep Smiling!

I Miss You!!
I Miss chatting with you....just talking about anything under the sun.  I Miss going out for shopping together with you. I Miss cooking together and sharing recipes ... I Miss Having non stop discussion through the night. I Miss sharing clothes, sharing makeup, sharing jewellery....

I Miss seeing our kids bond and become like best friends.

I Miss a lot....every day, every moment!

I Miss YOU!

Lots of love always
Me

Letter to Someone I've drifted away from (Letter - 5)

My dear dear pal "R" from once upon a time...

I have to start this letter by saying "I miss you" Because that's the best thing that can summarize what I feel.

You were the first one I met when I started a new journey and we ended up spending 3 years together...sharing smiles and tears. We shared our life's best kept secrets.

We were different at so many levels yet the friendship grew stronger. Our views and thoughts didn't match yet we were there for each other. We have given endless lectures to each other about life. We have been each other's support pillar.

Then life moved on and we started walking in different directions...Sometimes we turned back and looked at each other...smiling and reminiscing in past gaiety. But we kept moving away ...and before we knew we had drifted far enough to see each other's smile or tear.

I think we both tried...but life had taken its course for good.

I have no regrets. We were best friends  and have countless happy memories for the rest of our lives. I have infinite memories from those college and hostel days ...

Thanks to social media we atleast have a tab on whats going on in each other's life. I guess that's enough to be thankful for now.

May you have a happy life with that beautiful son of yours. Someday do tell him about one of his so-called masis...His Aunt- Me!

With many happy memories
your friend

Letter to my best friend (Letter - 4)

Dear friend,

I must begin with thanking you for being there in my life. For bringing my faith back in friendship. For adding smiles to my otherwise mundane days. For Listening to my senseless blabber. For sharing secrets. For offering a shoulder to cry on.

I am forever indebted.

Thanks for the thoughtfulness always.

Thanks for being a friend far away yet so close.

This world becomes worth living because of gems like you.

You strengthen faith in humanity.

You strengthen belief in love.

A million thanks to you everyday...

Please be the same...keep smiling and be happy.
May your life be always rich with happy moments.

May you get the life you most deserve.

Much love,
Your friend...

Letter to Dreams (Letter -3)

Dreams are the reality
Dreams the the truth
Dreams are the facts

We live because of dreams...
without dreams we just survive.

My Dear Dreams,

How I have looked forward to meeting you and then making it a point to remember you when i wake up. You bring pleasure, you bring boundless happiness and sometimes you bring tears too. You are the only one with whom I cry my heart out, I run away to places I most desire to go, I meet people I miss every single moment, I live moments that give most pleasure.

What would my life be without you!

Every night I look forward to drifting in my fantasy world with you.
You give me hope. You give me faith.

You show me the balance of life....a day can be both full of smiles and tears.

I thank you for being part of my life. For visiting me so often and letting me be me and yet taking away with you all that was not necessary for me to take to my life on the other side of sleep.

O dreams O dear dreams...come visit and strengthen everyone's faith in future...bring hope and bring life.

May you grow and flourish to become reality...and new ones be born...

With Much faith
Me.
