heartbits

Last Sunday was my papa’s birthday. To celebrate his 57 complete revolutions around the sun that too after the almost fatal heart attack he faced in December 2014, we decided to dine at a popular south Indian restaurant of our city. The people who have not spent Sundays in Surat will not have a clue about how is the condition of the city roads on Sundays. People come out of their homes to celebrate the day off from their work. Also the ladies who are homemakers take a day off from their kitchens and families dine out. Not a single food vendor is free on Sunday in Surat. Traffic jams and unavailability of Parking space is the biggest issue in our city if one plans to go out on Sunday evening. Every Sunday my Nanaji comes to meet us and in evening I have this duty to drop him at his place so I am quite used to of driving in irritating traffic. But if any festival falls on Sunday, the cars will only move using clutches. That day was Sunday as well as Id so the city roads were flo

Kyu teri haqiqat ko hi Jannat kaha jaaye, Kyu naa teri yaado ko us Khuda ki Rehmat kaha jaaye! Kyu Tere saath sirf haske hi duniyaa basai jaaye, Kyu na Tere ashko me duniyaa bhulai jaaye.. Kyu Tere khwabo mein hi do pal bitaaye jaye, Kyu na Tere khayaalo mein Ek umra beetaa di jaaye... Kyu tere hone ko hi khwab kaha jaaye, Kyu naa tujhse bichadne ko bhi nayi shuruat kaha jaye! Kyu doobne ke liye samandar ko hi choona jaaye, kyu na aaj tumhari aankho par bhi gaur farmaya jaaye...:) Kyu duriyon me is Dil ko aur Jalaaya jaaye, Kyu naa is Dard-E-Ishq ka muskurake Jashn manaya jaaye.. Kyu apne ehashas ko dabe lafzo me bataya jaay, Kyu na is mehfil ko aur aage badhaya jaaye.. Kyu na aaj is dil ka khazaana khola jaaye, Kyu na kuchh purana samaan pyaar se sanjoya jaaye .. Kyu judai ki tanhai me armaano ko kho diya jaaye, Kyu naa is Gham-E-Ishq me khud ko hi paa liya jaay..  Kyu unke jaate hue kadamo par nigahon ko  yun thahra diya jaye.. Kyu na unhi kadamo ke

Yeah I am a voyager. Discovering my paths on my own, To see a wonderful dawn. I learn from everything I see, Because its not only the water which grows the tree. I have a bunch of emotions and fire in me, Just hold my hand and be with me! I can climb the mountains and drain in sea, But nothing can take place in the moment of united we. I have my dreams and destiny to achieve, But deep in my heart I know only with YOU I want to live!! Khushboo Shah u r awesome!!! 

Some people’s presence in your life makes life so colourful. Mahima holds one such prominent place in my life. I really thank God for giving me such a friend who truly understands the meaning of friendship. Six years and we are going strong with lots of plans to do so many things together. Half a decade we spent together and one very important thing which I know about her is that she is very sensitive. She takes each and every relationship in her life very seriously and I have seen her making so many extra efforts for her friends. She is a person who loves to be with people and understanding human emotions is one of her specialities. She truly understands what being friends means. I have really enjoyed her company in one of my most gloomy times, when she took me for shopping (therapy for girls), dinner at newly opened food outlets in the city. All we try is to do something new every time we meet which really adds color to life. Helping people is one thing we both love. She

Today Kanika came back from her office little early. She made some sandwiches for her dinner and comforted herself on couch in front of the TV. She changed almost all channels but couldn’t find any interesting show to watch. She had some shopping to do but she delayed that on weekend as she was not willing to step out of her home after an exhausting day at work. Playing some songs of her customised playlist, she ate her dinner. While she was having dinner, her phone vibrated many times to give the notification that there might be some whatsapp messages but today Kanika was not interested in chatting with friends. Last two years were very difficult for her and had completely transformed her. She always tried to keep herself more and more busy. Even when she was unwilling to go out and hang out with friends, she did so because she wanted herself to be extremely busy with everything and anything so that her heart could never peep in the past. Inspite of trying very hard to heal herself

Jab kholi aankhe pehli baar Kuchh naye saaz kuchh nayi aawaz Kuchh naya sa tha yeh jahaan rangeen Tab ehsaas hua kuchh toh hai yeh Zindagi!! Jab maa ki ungli thame chale kadam chaar Jab papa ke kandho par soye kitni hi baar Jab badhta har din dada dadi ka pyaar Tab mehsoos hua kuchh pyari si hai Zindagi!! Jo aankhe hamesha maa ko dhundhti thi woh apna waqt kitaabon ke saath bi baatne lagi Jo haath shararato ke baad kaan pakadte the woh ab kalam pakadne lage Jo khilono se hum khela karte the pure din woh humare khel ka hissa bannne ko tarasne lage Tab janne lage haan kuchh toh hai yeh Zindagi!! Haan jee toh chahta hai maa tere paas rahu sada par kuchh majbooriyan Teri bhi hai kuchh meri bhi Haan jee toh karta hai kagaz ki naav firse barish mein bahaye par ab kuchh aasu baha lete hai aur kuchh yaadein bhi Haan jee toh chahta hai waqt ko bhulakar kuchh pal joro se hans le par kuchh boj hai lafzo par bhi aur kuchh dil par bhi Ab jaanne lage hai kya hai tu Zindagi!!

Taking up a school job is a recent development in my life. Before joining this very well-known school of my city, I was having an impression that knowing my subject well, willingness to make my kids understand the concept and lot of hard work on weak kids would be enough to deliver well in my job. But unexpectedly this job came out to be much more than that. Very first day I experienced work place politics. I was called to the Pricipal’s office and was told that phones are not allowed in classrooms. I was like are you kidding me? Being a maths teacher I can’t afford to miss a single minute. Because a minute means one more sum on the board, clearing one more doubt of a confused student. Yeah so the point is someone went to the principal with the fabricated information. I did use phone but in lunch break. One can’t use phone in their free time is way too conventional in the area of imposing regulations. After the first very hectic week, we were given deadline to submit the F
