Some

Some people are like morning cup of coffee/tea,
you could very well do without them,
But, Boy! don't they make you feel alive?

Some people fill up those spaces in you that you never knew existed,
Some people can take your mind to places that your eyes cannot.
They leave the imprint on your heart that you forget, who you were
before you met them.
Suddenly, you will draw apart from them.
Yes, you will be upset, angered by their departure.
But, when they return,
you don't waste time,
on asking why, when, where, what went wrong?
Rather, you crave
to get more of the smile on face and content to heart,
For, Its the only way, you have accepted to recognize them.

Sometime, someone rushes to be somewhere.
Wouldn't that be "some"time when that someone would be You and that
somewhere would be Me?

Excerpt:
Iss pal ki ye guzaarish hai
Marna kyun, jee lena
Boondon ko pee lena

Hichki ruk jaane de
Siski tham jaane de
Tere hi sapno ki baarish hai

Paaniyon ko raste tu banaane de
Roshni ke pichhe khud ko jaane de

Kehta yeh pal
Khud se nikal
Jeete hain chal

Public Transportation Vs Private Transportation

Being a travel enthusiastic, i love exploring people and places.
But, at same time, i still haven't sensed the feeling " its about the journey not end". Somehow i have never felt it, i feel dreaded when i have to spend hours to reach some point of interest. I have traveled with friends, family and solo. Company makes it entertaining for a while but then for how long? Don't you feel the pressure of being the entertainer?

Especially if you grew up in india, you would know the phrase "the person next to driver should be awake. Driver needs to be stimulated". Phew! If that funda was actually true, how many of you go and stimulate the pilots, bus drivers, train drivers or even auto wala? We sleep easily while riding on those na?

I would rather be at place and explore than spent hours just to reach a place. I use public transport when i can. My friends were shocked when they discovered i just had 5k miles on my car over one and half year. So, my curious cats asked me why do i need car?

If i could summarize my answer in two lines it would be:
Car takes me to places
Shuttle takes me to people.

Going by shuttle gives me peace of mind, me time per say and some time to get myself prepped for day. It also allows me to observe and meet people, their clothing, their attitude and their zest in little synapses. Its a sense of security that i feel when i step on shuttle. The familiar drivers greeting you and all you do is sit back and relax. I know in 15 mins, i will be at work. You can either sulk in seat or observe the fellow passengers. I do not have to worry about traffic, or curse the fellow on road for moving too fast or too slow, for cutting in line or breaking the cruise control or the bikes passing or the pedestrians taking for ever to move. I love that part of my ride.

The way i see it , you make two kinds of trip:
One is to places
and one is to people.
Your means to reach them governs your experiences.

Jhuki Jhuki Si Nazar

झुकी झुकी हैं यह नज़रें
केहना चाइए यह नग्में।
नहीं लब्ज़ में बयां कर पाए
जो कहते हैं यह अश्रु में डूबे नयन ॥

मिलते हैं हज़ारों से
मिलाते हैं हाथ सभी से ।
फिर भी ना मिल सके , दिल से !!
नहीं झुकी हैं
यह किसी शरम से।
पर आज झुकी हैं
यह थकन से॥

कहते हैं,
आखों को रूह की खिड़की
खिड़की से दिखते हैं नजारें।
आज झूकी हैं यह नज़रें
इन नज़ारो से॥

कभी मिलो किसी से
तोह मिलो ऐसे !
की दिल की मुस्कान
झलके इन आखों से !!

Jhuki jhuki hain yeh nazrein
Kehna chaiye yeh nagmein
Nahin labz mein kar paye bayan
Jo kehete hain yeh ashru be doobe nayan

Milte hain hazaron se!
Milate hain haath sab se
Phi bhi na mil sake, dil se!!
Nahin jhuki hain
yeh kisi sharam se!
Aaj jhuki hain
Yeh thakan se!!

 Kehte hain
Aakhon ko rooh ki khidki!
Khidki se dikhte hain nazarein
Aaj jhuki hain yeh nazrein!!
Yeh nazaron se.

Kabhi Milo se
toh milo aise
ki dil ki muskan
chalke ankhon se .
