You have faced nothing yet

There was a young boy who was brilliant in every field. While studying in a vernacular school, he topped the senior secondary at national level. With all the happiness on his face, he came running to his dad at the evening and announced the news while describing the difficulties he faced and the hard work he deployed. His dad, while sipping his favorite whisky, pointed “Boy, you have faced nothing yet…” The son got puzzled.

With more enthusiasm, he cleared the entrance exam of the top ranked engineering institute with flying colors. Again at the evening when his father arrived and settled with his drink in the hand, the son announced it to him with elaboration of how difficult it is. His dad, with no change of expression on his face, remarked “Boy, you have faced nothing yet...” and continued with his drink.

Taking his father’s words as nothing but the sheer motivation, he topped the engineering too and got placed in an esteemed IT firm. Yet again, at the evening while his father was enjoying his drink, he told all the stories about his success and the difficult phase he cracked. To his shock, as usual, his father stated “Boy, you have faced nothing yet…”

By this time the son went berserk and said “Dear father, what do you mean by I haven’t faced nothing yet? I studied all by myself, topped school on national level, cracked engineering entrance and now got placed with top notch employer. Do you really feel it’s not difficult enough? If so, why don’t YOU tell me what’s yet to be faced? Bring it on, assign me anything you wish and I’ll prove it to you…” Father, with all the calmness in the world, sipped his drink and said “Ok son, so here is what you need to do…” and asked him to do something. Father continued “Come back to me after few years to continue the discussion”.

Few years passed by and one fine evening, the son came to his dad. The son seemed as lost as a cattle in the desert, as clueless as the planets orbiting the sun. He sat next to his dad with all his confidence shattered to the level of finest grain known to the mankind and declared “Dad, you were right, I haven’t had faced anything like this…” Now there were 2 whisky glasses accompanying the bottle.

Can you guess what his father made him do?

    In my opinion ,Father was facing loneliness,There were no companion,no friend to whom with he can share his thoughts,feelings,desires. Even his son was also busy in his stuff,study,career etc.
    Therefore Father always told to him like he did not faced anything (loneliness) yet.

Oh Woman!

Oh woman! The ocean of emotion, A rare combination of love, care and patience. God must have put all learning while creating, The way you carry strength with elegance.
The selfless acts of love you shower, Infinite efforts for our happiness you make. Most of the times taken for granted, The endless pain for relations you take.
Pity people who feel you need support, Their humble ignorance, considering you weak. Though they themselves need the warmth of your touch, It’s only your company, in agony, they seek.
Woman and sacrifice are synonym for a reason, Nothing more than love, they want in return. It’s not our greatness to realize and provide it, But her eminence to ignore asking, what she earn.

पराया

Image
आज इस कदर मैं परेशान नज़र आता हूँ,
औरो से नहीं बनिस्पत खुद से खफा नज़र आता हूँ।
जिन अपनों को माना ज़िन्दगी का सबब,
आज उन् अपनों को मैं पराया नज़र आता हूँ।

जिनं से बेबाक कर लिया करता था हर सोच बया,
बिना शिकवा जो देते थे तवज्जो मुझको।
की ना जाने कौन सी बात अखर जाए उनको,
आज हर अलफ़ाज़ मैं सहमा सा कह पाता हूँ।
जिन अपनों को माना ज़िन्दगी का सबब,
आज उन् अपनों को मैं पराया नज़र आता हूँ।

ऐसा नहीं की मैं बदल गया हु अब,
की आज भी वोह मुझे उतने ही अज़ीज़ है।
पर ना जाने उन्हें क्यों लगता है हर बार,
की मैं अपने नहीं, सुनी सुनाई बातें दोहराता हूँ।
जिन अपनों को माना ज़िन्दगी का सबब,
आज उन् अपनों को मैं पराया नज़र आता हूँ।

की जब तक रहेगा पर्दा यही बेरुखी का,
और होंगी मुलाकातें कुछ यु की रस्मे हो जैसे।
लबो पर मुस्कराहट भले ही क़याम रखने में हो कमियाब,
आँखों की वीरानियों को देखते है कब तक छुपा पाता हूँ।
जिन अपनों को माना ज़िन्दगी का सबब,
आज उन् अपनों को मैं पराया नज़र आता हूँ।

Silence

Somehow things changed in a way, My ears stopped accepting sounds as they were. Filled with noise of thoughts in my mind, i keep searching cure to silence of her.
Intentional or not, that's not the question, She used to fight to sort it out. But now the words are not flowing, Making my mind go filled with various doubt.
How can i assume the things, And do what she wants me to do. I know she is kind to hint, But assumptions are surrounding the clue.
Why isn't the life easy, Why we stop ourselves to convey. Why to make assumptions play, And then lose the time in that way.
Waiting for other to guess, Might go the way you thought. But for 1 right there are 99 wrong too, Isn't that gonna pain a lot.
Instinct is required, When the other is not around. Then why to waste the opportunity, Lets speak the heart out and loud.
