Fighting couples.. Thank you!!!

It was 8 am in the morning and we (Minakshi & I) had to step out to get some groceries. As I steered the two wheeler out of the apartment complex, I saw that there was red colour zoom car parked on road side of the empty road patch. My eyes scanned inside the car to see that there was a couple and the guy was looking at the girl with pleading eyes, while the lady had a grumpy face not looking at him at all. I looked over my shoulder at Minakshi who seemed to have sensed what I wanted to tell her. We both broke into laughter remembering that we were fighting in the same manner just a couple of hours back.

We both laughed and moved on, but I seem to have an itch to go and knock on the car window and talk to the couple. But, was hesitant. I had  already moved on, and as the moment had lapsed I go more skeptical and scared to reach out to them. Minakshi stated, it is their personal moment and I replied that, "being a human I felt a connect, I need to tell them". Something happened and I just turned the vehicle and parked my bike right in front of their car. Minakshi decided to stay there, and I got down from the bike. By this time I have got the attention. It felt to me like a moment of truth and now no turning back.

I asked for a min and requested for the guy to roll down the window. With a smile I stated talking to the startled eyes and from the back seat the lady peeped in over the shoulders with question marks on her face.. I stated..

"Sorry, to have bothered you at your private moment but I have to share this. You see we both (showing towards Minakshi & self) just passed you guys a few moments ago and what we saw in the car made us recollect the way we fought in the morning hour. I was pleading and she was grumpy and we exchanged roles too. What we saw, lightened up our life so thank you but do not fight. Have a good day and thank you!!!" 

The guy could not even respond a word, the lady had started giggling. Minakshi was feeling shy and I was sweating... I did not know what to do after that and I said, "I am sorry to have interfered in your private moment, carry on please..." folding my hands ... I rushed to the bike.. Minakshi was like, leave....

The bike also played its part by not starting to get stated immediately, finally it came to life and we turned the bike and moved, giving a thumbs up sign to the guy who still seemed confused. We both were laughing at what we had done and I was feeling good thinking of what I did which in any circumstances I would have avoided..

Thank you to those wonderful couple who enlightened our day!!!

एक वादा खुदसे

ठहरा रहा उम्मीद से
की सुनेगा कोई ॥
पर इन लब्ज़ों की तन्हाई मैं
आया ना कोई ॥

मैं अपनी परछाई को
दोस्ती का वास्ता दे बैठा ॥
उन्हें छोड़ चला राहों में
जो हाथ पसारे खड़े थे,
उन चौराहे और गलियरों  में ॥

सायद न था कभी
अपने पे भरोसा ॥
जो यारों पे ना कर सका
उनके वादों कि सचाई का आस्था ॥

रह न जाऊं उन्ही पल्लों में
उस परछाई कि आड़ में॥
आशा कि उम्मीद है
थामूंगा आपने यारों कि हातों को ॥

यह वादा रहा खुद से
ढूंढूंगा अपने वजूद को ॥
पहचानूँगा अपने आपको
पर फिरसे कभी न खोउंगा अपपने आप को
किसी सन्नाटे वाली मोड़ पे ॥  

Laughter of Hope!!!

The clouds are so grey and deep
My sunshine finds it very difficult to peep
the winds that fly so hard and fast
seems to be the only hope for my time to pass

The surrounding around me deepen to black
Leaving me struggling to come back
for my life beyond is also searching for a union
but the time that flies, pushes me in my deep grey
But as I push to peep again, i gain my strength

with every gold bursting in the sky through those grey
the union with below shines to glow...
with a tear of joy and a laughter of hope!!!
