इक चेहरा देखती हूँ अक्सर मैं अपने आस पास...
इक चेहरा देखती हूँ अक्सर मैं अपने आस पास
यूँ ही कभी जब अकेले में होती हूँ -
कभी छत पर टहलते हुए ,
कभी कमरे में अकेले ही कोई गीत गुनगुनाते हुए,
और कभी किसी सूनी राह पे बस चलते हुए |
कभी कभी ऐसा लगता है के एक ही चेहरा है,
तो कभी लगता है के अलग अलग राहों पे
अलग अलग चेहरे हैं मेरे साथ
जो मुझे कह रहें हों के
मैं तुम्हारे साथ हूँ,
हर कदम पर,
जब भी किसी मुश्किल में रहो,
मैं यहीं कहीं मिल जाऊंगा..
आखिर अब तक हर मुश्किल में मुझे
कोई न कोई मिल गया था-
जिसने मेरे भागते हुए परेशान से मन के अँधेरे को दूर भगाया ...
जिसने मेरे बच्चों जैसे सवालों के जवाब दिए,
जिसने मुझे ये बताया के क्या होती है दोस्ती,
क्यों लोग भागते रहते हैं-
कभी प्यार,कभी पैसे ,कभी परिवार
और कभी बस अपने मन की ओर |
अब तक जब भी कोई उलझन थी,
जब मन अशांत रहा,
जब भी अनिश्चितताएं आयीं ,
जब भी लगा के अब आगे का रास्ता दिख न रहा हो,
जब लगा के सारी दुनिया मुझपर हँस रही है,
जब भी सोचा के कहीं मेरी दोस्ती में ही कहीं कोई कमी तो नहीं ..
जब महसूस हुआ के लोगों को मेरा अपने चुने हुए रस्ते पे चलना पसंद नहीं था,
जब भी अँधेरे में अपने तकिये में सर छुपा के आंसुओं को निकलने दिया,
जब भी कल्लोल किया,
जब हँसते हँसते भूल गयी के हंसी आई भी क्यों थी..
जब भी बचपन की बातें एकदम से ताज़ा हो उठीं,
जब गुस्सा आया-खुद पे और दुनिया पे,
तो कोई हमेशा मेरे साथ था - ऐसा लगा |
लगा जैसे ईश्वर ने किसी फ़रिश्ते को बस मेरी परेशानियों का हल ढूँढने के लिए भेजा है,
थोड़ा मैंने भी उन फरिश्तों की उलझन सुलझाई,
और कभी कभी लगा जैसे बातें सुलझने के बदले और भी उलझ गयी हों |
लेकिन जो वक़्त गुज़रा साथ में-वो वक़्त कभी भुलाया नहीं जा सकता
क्योंकि वो तो जैसे हमारे दिलों में जैसे एक अमिट छाप छोड़ गया है |
अच्छा था या बुरा - ये कह पाना मेरे सामर्थ्य के बाहर की बात है -
क्योंकि उस समय लगा जैसे इस से अच्छा कुछ भी नहीं;
मानो किसी ने आसमान से खुशियों की बारिश कर दी हो,
जिसकी बौछारों में मन के सारे दुःख अकस्मात् ही धुल गए जैसे;
लगा के बस हर एक घड़ी को समेट लूँ |
फिर बादल छंटे और निखरती हुई धूप आई और धरती पर जैसे सुनहरी चादर सी छा गयी,
ऐसी कितनी ही बारिशें मैंने देखीं ,
कितने सवेरे हुए-
हर सुबह पहले से ज्यादा खूबसूरत!
हर बार मेरे साथ थे कुछ लोग
जिनका जितना भी शुक्रिया अदा करूँ कम होगा,
क्योंकि मुझे हमेशा लगा के उन्होंने मुझे जितना दिया,
उसके मुकाबले में शायद कुछ भी नहीं लिया |
फिर ऐसा क्यों लगता है कि वो बस एक भ्रम था,
क्यों लगता है के हम बस मुसाफिरों कि तरह मिले थे ,
हर एक अपनी मंजिल की ओर अपना रास्ता बनाता हुआ,
और रास्ते में मिलते हुए लोगों को कुछ न कुछ सिखाता हुआ,
और उनसे खुद भी कुछ न कुछ सीखता हुआ |
लगता है वो सारे चेहरे भी मुझसे कहीं दूर जा रहे हैं,
और शायद फिर कभी वापस न आयें..
क्या पता शायद मुझे भूल भी जाएँ!
लेकिन मैं शायद उनमे से एक को भी न भूल पाऊँगी !
नयी जगह, नए लोग ,नए दोस्त,नया काम-
ये सब हमारे बाहरी रूप और हाव भाव को बादल सकते हैं,
लेकिन उन चेहरों में से हर एक ने मेरे सफ़र को और भी खुशनुमा और मनोरम बनाया-
मुझे जीना सिखाया,
मुझे शायद इतना बदल के रख दिया जितना कभी कोई और नहीं कर पाया!
हर एक चेहरा अब मेरा एक हिस्सा सा बन गया है-एक अटूट हिस्सा |
और शायद मैं भी हूँ उन सब में कहीं न कहीं-
वो बस इसलिए नहीं दिखाते क्योंकि इस से शायद उन्हें अपने रस्ते पे चलने में ,
और मुझे मेरे रस्ते पर चलने में कहीं कोई तकलीफ न हो |
प्यार, दोस्ती और दुश्मनी- ये सब शायद बड़े ही छिछले शब्द हैं
उस वक्त के लिए ;
क्योंकि ये सब वक़्त के साथ साथ कम भी हो सकते हैं,
भुलाए भी जा सकते हैं |
ये शब्द जैसे हर चीज़ को एक तस्वीर में बांध देते हैं;
बंध जाने से उस समय की खूबसूरती कम हो जाती है;
इसलिए मैं बस उस समय को ही अपने मन में समेट कर रख रही हूँ
जैसा भी वह था-बस वैसा ही रहेगा मेरी यादों में,
शायद यही मेरा सामर्थ्य है,
या फिर विवशता...
क्या पता किसी दिन ऐसी ही किसी अनजान लम्बी राह पर
उनमें से कोई एक चेहरा फिर कहीं मिल जाए,
और वो भी शायद बोले कि उसे भी ऐसा ही लगा जैसा मुझे लगा!
क्या पता कोई नया चेहरा किसी नयी राह पर मिले!

DO I HAVE TO STOP DREAMING DAD?????
When I was hardly three years old, I overheard three neighbours talking about the best school in town.
Uncle 1: " Dada which school should I get my son admitted to??? I'm in a fix! This little chatterbox does everything except padhai! His Mom and I are at our wits' end in getting him learn even the alphabets and numbers"
Aunt 2: " Mount Assisi, aur kahan!! Is saal ka national topper wahin ka hai. Bhaisaab ye bhi koi poochne waali baat hai!! Apna Monu bhi toh wahin padhta hai.",pat came the reply.
I was pretty much impressed by their conversation and the first thing that I told my Mom after that this is it -MAS is the school I want to get into. No wonder, I got into the best school in Bhagalpur. My parents were proud to have succeeded in their first step towards imparting me the best education that was within their reaach.
I wasn't poor in studies, but somehow I always used visit the classrooms where extra Drawing classes were held for students, after class hours. I used to get fascinated by beautiful sceneries and sketches on the blackboard and wished that someday I would be able to draw all these...
On my terrace was kept an old "banjo", I was told that my Kaku (uncle) used to play it in his teens. I sometimes longed to play a musical instrument...
When I was in the Second grade, I stealthily went to the neighboring colony to a Didi's place with my fellow colonite Shiuli. Shiuli had told me that Didi used to learn Classical Music and taught it to kids like us. I was elated when Di taught me my first sa-re-ga-ma-pa...and could not contain my happiness when she told that I can sing well....O My!!! How happy I was! I rushed home to tell my mom the Breaking News.
"Why did you go to her house?" asked Mom.
"Shiuli was going. I thought music will be fun",I replied with a long face at the bucket full of water that Mom's reaction had thrown on my enthusiasm.
"But Beta, you have to study. Look at Madhu (my neighbouring aunt's neice). She sings so well. Her Dad got her trained in Classical Music. But what's the result?? Participating in national level competitions,but cannot pass her school exams. I cannot understand how such kids will end up earning their bread and butter! I dont want to see you failing sweetie!" was Mom's explanation. "Now do not go to that Di's house ever. Why disturb her?"
"But Mummy!! What's wrong...erm..with music???"
"You have to study child."
OK. Shiuli can learn music once in a while but Nupur has to study. Accepted.
My musical misadventures continued in the LA periods that we had as the last period on Fridays. Sometimes it was a soft number from A R Rehman's Bombay,at other times melodies from Anand. My classmates and I used to get very excited if anybody in the class would sing the full song "Achcha sila diya tune mere pyaar ka" sung by Sonu Nigam. We actually were fans of this oh-what-a-heartache number, like the entire country. Its quite ironic that I now despise such "emosanal attyachaar" type of songs .
On Sunday afternoons when I sometimes sat by my Grandpa's side, he used to give me examples of scientists-Madam Curie was his favourite! He said I should study hard to become one. In Class Two,scientists used to fascinate me.I thought they might be cool people discovering new things.Okay Dadu!! I'll try my level best to become a Scientist.
There is another contradictory aspiration that I nurtured at that point of time. I was a freak in following beauty pageants right from Std Two-courtesy the 1994 jackpot that India struck at the Miss World & Miss Universe pageants. I had a calendar of the two beauties that made India proud,namely Aishwarya Rai & Sushmita Sen,courtesy the brand new Kelvinator refrigerator that Papa had brought home. I was in their awe. I kept following beauty pageants till Seventh Grade. I dont know why but as a kid they fascinated me. I loved the panache with which the participants sashayed down the ramp,showcasing their talents and touring the world - getting paid for looking great and enjoying life! I took special notice of the Judges' Question Rounds and loved to listen to different and innovative answers. I loved their long evening gowns,the elegance and the fun. And I loved the way Eric Morley declared "And the Miss World 199x is .....". As a kid I looked a lot less nerdy than I now look 'cause I didn't wear spectacles. And I thought that if at all I become as tall as those Miss XYZs were, I could try my luck there. I was desparate to grow taller and often told my Mom "Ma ,aap bhi zaada lambi hoti toh I would have been taller!" Wow,a kid in standard Two planning to enter beauty pageants. Beauty business is something that now irritates me for its ostentation. I hate superficiality. But still, as a kid I have dreamt of this as well !!!!!!!!!!! Sound ludicrous now,ha! My friends will roll in laughter when they read this because they know what a fashion disaster I can be :D
Anyway, thank God dreams don't require a prepaid/postpaid connection :)
When I was in the Fourth grade, I read an article in my school magazine. It was titled " My Aim In Life" and was written by Ankur Choudhry- the star student of my school. "Legend has it that Ankur hasn't forgotten even a single thing he's read ever since he's begun studying," was what our teachers told us. I was in his awe. So I read his article. It went like- " Life without an aim is like a boat without sails..............................................................................................My aim in life is to become a doctor and serve the society." WOW!!!!!!!! I was glad to know that a doctor serves the society by treating the sick,old and poor...lol!! This might sound shallow but it was about time when Papa asked me "Beta,aap kya ban_na chahte hain?" and I instantaneously replied "DOCTOR" !
It was 1998. I was now in the senior section of my school. We had more subjects to study- History,Civics,Geography,Literature,Physics,Chemistry,Biology......and not to forget Moral Science. But I

It was 1998. I was now in the senior section of my school. We had more subjects to study- History,Civics,Geography,Literature,Physics,Chemistry,Biology......and not to forget Moral Science. But I
enjoyed History the most. Ancient History-wonderful ... most people wont believe me but I used to read about Indus Valley Civilizations, Aryans, Gupta age,and all that from all textbooks that I could lay hands on.I would find out for all possible History texts in my home,right from my Grandpa's bookshelves to my aunt's books packed in cartoons more than a decade ago! That was the time when I began watching watching Discovery Channel -the Pyramids of Egypt,the Maya civilization,Mesopotamia,Rome,Forts,Palaces,excavations,the mystery of King Tut,Vedas.....I knew what I wanted to become-ARCHAEOLOGIST!!! Yes this was it! I was made for this. That year Dad took us on a trip to Agra,Jaipur,Fatehpur Sikri & Udaipur & my love for History knew no bounds...
Alas! We had Medieval History next year and my love for History was now a history!
Hey,but I was happy folks!!! We had an amazing Biology syllabus and an even more amazing teacher-I thought I could now be a Doctor in making. Skeletons,Foetuses,and brains in our Bio lab were now arousing my interest . I was diligently into bio and just desired reasonable grades in other subjects. Maths was anathema. OK. So what if I was fed up of always being stuck on the fourth position in my class in all examinations I studied diligently for? I gave shit to it. But I could not stand favoritism by teachers. I remember screwing up when asked to solve Maths problems on the blackboard.And the teacher told me-"Shreya why do you have to move your fingers all around your head for a simple 1.25*5." Then I realised how dumb I was to solve it as 1.25x5= 1x5+0.25x5 HUH!!!!!! Papa was fed up of my mathematics marks always hovering in the ballpark of 40s. Somehow I was beginning to believe that I was a dumbo.Those days everyone was like "Oh beta! you are in 7th std now,only 3 years to Board exams! Its high time you should be serious about studies." As if scoring in Board exams was like landing on moon.And being unable to score in mathematics was some sort of a curse. C'mon Mom,Dad,uncles &aunts,what on earth is so special about Board Exams??????????????? My Grandad told me about his times-how he was the only guy in his village to pass the Board exams with a first class when their exams were conducted by Calcutta University! Great time to carry forward the yoke of family traditions! I felt more ashamed of my mathematics marks when I saw that most of my relatives were working in banks..!! What a disgrace,black sheep I was -or so I thought.
Anyway, I again stood FOURTH in VIIth. I was kind of jinxed at number four.
Std. VIII- First day of the class- I clearly remember our Principal , Fr. Chittoo hastily entering our classroom."So this is VIII B. Children ,Assisi has its hopes hooked on to you. SHIT. Now live up to the hopes of Assisi. For the first time I was delighted to score highest marks in Physics.Huh! I forgot Quizzing,Music ,History,Beauty Pageants,novels,medicine.....when I saw a yellow piece of paper pinned to the Bulletin board of class XII the school- "INDIAN INSTITUTES OF TECHNOLOGY BOMBAY,DELHI,GUWAHATI,KANPUR,KHARAGPUR,MADRAS ...............JEE......." .I cannot exactly tell whether it was this notice or the hype of our star alumni, but IX,X,XI,XII and an year after that...four priceless years of my life -everything revolved around Xth Boards,IITJEE,IITJEE,IITJEE and IITJEE. I hardly did anything else. My love for literature remained. But the time that it found in my schedule almost vanished.
The year I was in Std XIIth, I came to know that Ankur Choudhry had secured AIR 14 in IITJEE and a seat in the prestigious CSE at IITK!
I managed to find myself a seat in BIT Sindri.

Books ,books and more books....no time for anything else..I didn't know why I was studying...
Chetan Bhagat rightly says,"First they tell you to study hard for two years and crack one entrance exam.And after you have studied hard for four more years,they again tell you to study hard and crack another entrance exam."
Its strange.I had almost forgotten dreaming. And now when I have begun dreaming once again, my Dad's words constantly ring in my ears- " Pehle daal roti ka jugaad kar lo,fir hawaa mein udte rehna".
DO I HAVE TO STOP DREAMING DAD?

I LOVE...
I love waking up early in the morning,though I can't,
I love to hide Papa's things for simply no reason other than he getting angry on me for nothing,
I love holding my friends' hands when I walk with them on the pavement,
I love standing on the chair in the auditorium and dance to the beat of the item numbers,
I love the smile on anyone's(that includes myself) face when they remember something sweet,
I love when my friends hold my hands to make me cross a busy road-it makes me feel like a kid,
I love stealing my brother's share of rossogullas from the fridge-it makes him tease me,
I love my Mom singing in the kitchen-it adds to the delicacy of whatever she is cooking...
I love watching the kids play kabaddi in the park-and that they use chappals to divide the field makes me laugh!
I love humming tunes to myself when riding on the back seat of a bike,
I love picking up fights for unequal division of chicken pieces in a restaurant when with friends,
I love flunking the exam just because I entered the examination hall thinking of Pehla Nasha...
I love long conversations going deep into the nights and refusing to die even in the morning..
I love calling friends and asking them,"Kuch naya bataa yaar!"
I love watching schoolchildren waiting in a queue for their schoolbus,
I love to see a toddler walking on the sidewalk with his Mom and Dad holding each of his hands,
I love to remember my first day in my school- the day my parents took me for the interview,
I love to lick the chocolate from the wrapper-no matter how dirty it makes me look,
I love to get wilder with the meal when people watch me eating at the restaurants,
I love to cry when watching SRK telling Kajol,"Marry Me!"
This one sounds a bit embarassing,but its true-
I actually,really love getting dramatic and melodramatic with my friends during some of the conversations.
And I love crying at movies-I feel human!
I love getting dumb when friends tease me-I love not defending myself as I am happy to see them smile ;
I love gifting chocolates to my friends 'cause I know they'll be sharing it with me!
I love visiting Orkut profiles of people I adore when I miss them,
I love the fact that the only thing that comes to my mind when the college ATM machine is out of order and I am left with not more than a hundred bucks is-"Oh My God! I just hope I don't die hungry!!"
I love forwarding song lyrics to my friends so that they can forward them to their girlfriends,
I love keeping my music player permanently in the Repeat mode-listening the same song over and over again.
I love to lie down on the bed even after I am awake-just thinking about everything.
I love to torture the salesmen in shops by trying out stuff that I know I will never buy for myself.
I love trying umpteen times to make the perfect Maggi!
I love to celebrate by bingeing when I flunk my exams,
I love the smell of the earth when it rains...
I love windy days-it makes me feel so romantic,
I love when friends reply instantly,
I love to sit by the lakeside,
I love being woken up in the morning by my Mom..
And I love throwing tantrums on days when she doesn't wake me up.
I simply love sitting on the corner table and munching the cheese sandwiches and paav bhaaji with a cuppa hot coffee..
I love cracking jokes and laughing at them all alone-with the rest of my friends laughing at me!
I love Googling my name,my friends names...thinking someday we might make more popular searches..!
I love gazing at the star-studded night sky with a romantic tune plugged into my ears..
I love frequent Hellos from friends,
I love forgetting things midway when explaining to friends.
I love hugging my Mom,
I love... and I know I can fall in love,love and be loved-despite the world thinking otherwise..!
