Kinaaro ka afsana

 Just yesterday, as I penned down my thought, my guardian angel pointed out that we have been like the banks of a river. Then only that I realized, the banks of a river, although seem so distant, are like two people, growing together without growing apart. And no one realizes how close they are. In fact they are not at all separate. It is the divine river that keeps them close. It is the strong and pristine love of the water that binds them together till they dissolve and unite in the ocean. The ocean where the love of the river surrounds the banks and takes them so deep that it is impossible to separate them. They become one. That is the true fate of the banks of a river. And in the true sense, the banks define the term true love. 

Its the two banks that give shape to the river,the two banks that guide the river to the ocean, the strong foundation of the dynamic river.

So, contuining from where I left off, and in the process, completing the whole picture...

किनारे मिलते नहीं,

किनारों को मिलने की ज़रुरत कहाँ,

उनको ज़रा गौर से तो देखो,

किनारे ज़ुदा ही कहाँ हैं ?

तस्वीर के एक पहलु से देखें

तो सच्चाई अधूरी लगती है,

इस तस्वीर को सम्पूर्णता में परखो

पता चलेगा की प्यार क्या होता है |

Kinaare milte nahi...

 Just the other day, was wondering how to name a realtionship, a cherished one. Was on my way home, and I crossed a river.

A river. Starts off slow. Moulds and takes shape gradually. And as it passes on to meet its destiny, faces many turbulent times. But still comes back unscathed. Wiser. And then it meets the inevitable destiny of union with the ocean. Seems so divine. Does it not?

But beneath all this is the fate of the two banks which gets sealed in the process.

Yes. A relationship is like those two banks of the river. किनारा |

Those two banks who had started with numerous dreams in the eyes. Dreams of the destined ocean. But soon do they realise that they are like those two people who, although stay side by side the whole way, although face all eventualities of the journey of life can never meet. Can never be together. Like two friends who have always been very close that they share each others' dreams, each others' lives, but they can never meet their destiny together. And they have to witness this painful reality, staying close but staying apart. Sad. Do you not think so?

Just penning down the few words that come to my mind now...

हमने कभी की थी दोस्ती दीवानों की तरह,
दो कदम चले तो एहसास हुआ
किनारे मिलते नहीं |
