Perspective

You really don't know how good you have it. You really don't.

You complain about your long working hours. You complain about how you have no ‘life’. You hate the city you are in. You hate the fact that you are far away from home. You are upset ‘coz you have zilch savings at the end of the month. You hate that you miss your parents. You feel sorry because you feel lonely. You feel empty. You wonder about how your life has become ‘boring’. You have a zillion things that don't seem right. Somehow it appears that the whole world is conspiring against you.

And yet, you must be thankful. You must be thankful for your boring life. Someone above hasn’t rocked your boat. Just yet.

Never ever think that you’ve got it bad. There are problems in your life; and they do matter. But every time you think of how life could be better – remember, it could be far worse.


Life is not fair. But it is not fair to anyone. That makes life fair.

Or so they say. I have my doubts about it, though.

Dil

Dil-e-naadaan –  itna ummeed karta kyun hai,


Dil-e-naadaan –  itna ummeed karta kyun hai,
.
.
Jo ek nazar na dekhe, unpe marta kyun hai?

 ****
Seene mein dabi aandhi, dekhe na samjhe woh;


Seene mein dabi aandhi, dekhe na samjhe woh;
.
.
Sabse hai bekhabar;  itna woh nasamajh kyun hai?

 ****
Kehne ko hai bahut kuch, par lavz na mile;


Kehne ko hai bahut kuch, par lavz na mile;
.
.
Ankahee in baaton pe mujhe itna afsos kyun hai?

****

I didn't know what to call this. Shayari? Poetry? Looks like it's something in between. Or call it senseless scribbles, if you will.
