Jab bachche thhe, tab jawaan hone ki jaldi thhi, Jab jawaan huye, toh hadein toddne ki jaldi thhi, Jab hadein toot gayi, toh galtiyaan sudhaarne ki jaldi thhi, Jab galtiyaan sudhar gayi, toh maafi paane ki jaldi thhi, Jab maafi mil gayi, toh mohabbat ki jaldi thhi, Jab mohabbat mil gayi, toh paise kamaane ki jaldi thhi, Jab paise kama liye, toh aur kamaane ki jaldi thhi, Jab aur kama liye, toh kharachne ki jaldi thhi, Jab kharach liye, toh Ghar banaane ki jaldi thhi, Jab Ghar bana liya, Tab humsafar paane ki jaldi thhi, Jab humsafar paa liya, Toh phir mohabbat ki jaldi thhi, Phir se jawaan hone ki jaldi thhi, Phir se hadein toddne ki jaldi thhi, Phir se jeene ki jaldi thhi... Par iss jaldbaazi mein der ho gayi Zindagi yeh haathon se fisal gayi Bas pachtaave reh gaye Ghum k saaye reh gaye Ameer ho kar bhi hum Gareeb aur bechaare reh gaye.... Medhavi...

He again lied to her about 'her' call He had saved 'her' number with a different name She believed him and chose to fall Blindfolded she was and got fooled again She saw him sharing glances with 'her' In a crowded corridor she could catch their gaze But he looked at her just the way he did And she gave up finding the way out from this maze He used to go to meet 'her' in her absence She was somewhere alone lost in his thoughts But he never cared and kept testing her patience And kept doing what he should have not They were an example for everyone around But nobody could see the cracks in perfection Her heart kept breaking without a sound And she kept on covering the cracks with her tears He said he didn't love her and needed more time She said 'yes' like every other time He smiled at her and gave her hopes again But she had no idea about the actual decision he took for them Her fears were the same Her insecurities were ali

आज यूँ  ही तुम्हारी याद आ गयी, और सोच में पड़ गए , तुम होते तो कैसा होता... शायद मुशकिलें आसानी से आसान हो जाती , रातें  यह शायद सो कर गुज़र जाती , हर सुबह  तुम्हे  ख़ुशी से  याद करते , मिलने  के नए बहाने हम बुन्ते ... पर  अब तुम इतनी दूर  हो , की कोई पुकार  तुम तक नही पहूँचती , कोई खत तुम्हारा पता नही जानता , कोई ज़रिया  तुम से  नही जुडता ... सोचते  हैं अक्सर , क्या  तुम हो आस  पास कहीं  , मेरी गलतियां  देख रहे हो , या मेरे  रास्ते  चुन  रहे हो , अगर हो तो हाथ बढा रखा  है , बस एक कदम आगे  बढ  कर , थाम  लो हमको . कि  बिखर  रहे  हैँ  ख्वाब यह  सारे , इस  अेतबार  पर , की तुम हो यहीं  पर , एक दफा  बस  लौट भी आओ , सांस  दे जाओ , ज़िन्दगी  भर के लिए ... . . Miss you Abhishek Singh. Please come back. RIP.

Thami huyi baarish sa mausam hain hum, Bin chhatri aksar waqt yun hi guzar jaata hai...

Yes, Depression does that to you... You ignore yourself initially and then eventually start forgetting your own essence, your dreams, your passions... Your secret escapes suddenly die and you find yourself trapped in your own world of self doubt. You question your existence and that if it matters. You don't feel scared anymore about harming yourself by self ignorance. You ignore the signs that your body gives you. You keep these signs a secret.. even from yourself and then when they get serious and visible to others, you panic as if you had no idea about them. You no longer like to see yourself in the mirror or dressing up, every day just becomes any other day, every thing that you loved starts feeling like a part of your past life. Self love takes a back seat and self confidence loses it's charm, your every day questions to yourself become a habit. When you talk about it with someone, they look at you and try to convince you that it is just a phase or just an extended though
