Woh raatein Jo aayi nahin hain abhi tak Unke saare khwaab tumhare naam kar aaye hain Mukaddar se mili hain Jo kuch yeh saansein saath tere Unko kahin sheher ke har kone mein dafn kar aaye hain Na baant-na ek lamha bhi iss deewanagi ka kisi gair ke saath Ki ab mausamon ki hawaayein bhi waffayein nibhaati hain mujhse Medhavi Medz

'You care too much!', he said. 'I'm not a kid, I'm an adult. Stop asking me if I had my lunch. Ofcourse I had, I eat it everyday n if I don't, it's no big deal. Stop asking me when I'll come back, how am I travelling or who is dropping me back. Stop asking me if I am responsible enough when I'm drinking. I can take care of myself. I'm not a baby for God's sake!'. She stood there. Quiet. Numb. Hurt. But still quiet. 'Sorry', she said. 'I know you eat your lunch everyday, but I like eating mine, after I know you are full. I know you are an adult n can travel safe, but I'm scared, coz I value you, I'm scared when you are drunk n you drive, I'm scared when you are sleepy n you travel late. I know you're not a baby. But you don't realize. You are my life and I protect you just the way I protect myself. I like hearing from you, nothing fancy or romantic, but just that 'I am okay', 'I'll be...

I always heard stories about love... watched films.. n read poetry... and had certain ideas n ideologies about it. Unconditional.. unselfish... patient.. kind... that's all what I had always believed until I met you. Because it was then when I understood and felt the actual depth of this four letter word. It is not just unconditional but a little demanding... as it demands some level of acknowledgement if not love in return. It is not just unselfish because it expects  ... as it desires fidelity.. it is not just patient but restless as it endures pain but still manages to show its happiest phase... it is not just kind but a little mean.. as it makes us negative towards the person who wants to hamper it's essence. I have learnt about all the paradigms of Love through you... I have seen myself changing for good.. for bad... for the best n the worst. I have seen myself growing n witnessed my own decline.. I have seen my own damage n recovery... I have learnt so m...

Ek thamaa hua lamha Ek naakaam si koshish Ek guzra hua manzar Ek aane wala kal Ek khaamosh si guftagu Ek naamumkin si justaju Ek benaam sa rishtaa Ek bhoola hua kissaa Ek andheri gali si Ek bujhta sa diyaa... Kuch nazaron ki uljhan Adhoori mulaaqaatein Kuch kaanch se naazuk Adharon ki baatein Kuch hasraton ke tukde Sach se phir takraaye Kuch saanson ke zarre Tere itr se phir chot khaaye... Yeh kaun sa manzar Yeh kaun si manzil Yeh kaun sa mukhautaa Phir zindagi ne pehna Jis se bhaagte aaye Daaman churra kar Woh phir piro baitha Dil dhadkanon se....

गुज़र जाती ज़िन्दगी बेवजह धागाओं से शिकवे करते करते,  अगर तुमने फिर मुड़ के देखा ना होता... राहें रहती खफा सी मंजिलों  से,  अगर तुमने हाथ छोड़ कर फिर पकड़ा ना होता ... मोहब्बत एक ल्फज ही रह जाता,  काय़ानात  में खोये ज़रे की तरह,  अगर तुमने ज़हन में इसका रंग ना घोला  होता... - मेधावी 

Have you ever been crazy in love ? To the extent that You see rainbows in their eyes And just choose to ignore all lies... You like holding their hand Even after months n years have passed... You dress up, with them in your mind And put efforts to impress though they are Already yours... You may dull yourself to make them shine, And still lighten up their path to glory... You feel enriched when you motivate them And successful when you see them rewarded... You like doing their household chores And that too with a wide smile... You still like smelling their clothes And having a conversation every other time... You collect their belongings n keep them around No matter it's a muffler or a pen, a wrapper or a bill... You dance on your way to work Because in the evening you have a date... No matter it may be the 250th But you just don't want to get late... Not because you're punctual or something But just because you don't want...

Life is nothing but a journey of changing weathers, tastes, relationships and priorities. Sometimes this change is zippy, sometimes bewitching.. sometimes appauling, sometimes tenable.. and these changes make us stronger, teach us with the mysterious zonks of life. These come with people, seasons and phases. Changes aren't defined. They come n go..hurt and heal.. These mixed emotions come with change..the Winds of Change. Life is nothing but a combat of the heart and the mind. We learn so much from it. We meet so many kinds of people, we make so many relationships, we take decisions, we take up responsibilities.. Every person, every relationship improves us, sooner or later, we learn something good from it. Relationships give birth to new expectations, desires, dreams and perceptions. A relationship has four stages, First stage is AFFILIATION, companionship.. In this stage, two people conceive and implement a relationship. It can be any relationship, lov...
