Kuch bikhra hua saa....

Bachpan mein aaine ko dekhte huye aksar Maa se kehta tha,
"Maa, lagta hai main bada ho kar Shahrukh Khan banungaa."

Aaj mere ghar mein aaina nahi hai,
Dil mein kuch bada ban ne ka jazbaa bhi nahi hai.
Haan jaanta hoon sharir wohi hai "yaar"
Par ab woh hasraton se bhara dil nahi hai.

Hunaar hai, junoon nahi hai.
Soch hai, tajurbaa nahi hai.
Waqt hai, mauka nahi hai.
Mauka mila, toh sala mood nahi hai.

Main hoon abhi zinda,
Lekin kho gaya hoon.
Pyaasa hoon, paani bhi saamne hai,
Lekin uthke peene ka man nahi hai.
Pata nahi, takat ki kami hai ya iraadon ki naajuki.
Naav bhi hai kinara bhi kareeb hai,
Phir bhi jee karta hai doob jaaun ab.
kya pata, shayad isi bahane tairna seekh jaaun.
Aur samandar ki maujon ke saath furtila ho jaaun.

Lunch Box Review

Lunch Box, the film wonderfully crafted by Ritesh Batra (Director) with the supporting firms like UTV Movies, NDFC, Dharma Productions stands apart from the rather movies in all aspects. After a long time, found any Indian movie with the unique concept to this extent, totally a unique.The film sketches out the descriptive story that revolves around the women named Ila(Nimrat kaur) who is tangled in the emotional turmoil and is suspect of betrayal as she has sense that her husband is having extra marital affair. She tried and had fed up impressing her husband and taking the things sort out soon, but consistently get futile. On the other side, the calm and far away personality from the mundane, busy in his clerical work and just on the verge of retirement. The man named as Saajan(Irrfan Khan). His life is silent and he never bothers about the world and happenings. He is a widower whose wife is no more and lives alone. Move to the office and is been catered by the restaurant food since several years back.The two, Ila and saajan begins with their conversation in an unexpected and unparalleled manner with mistakenly exchanged 'dabba' (Lunch_BOx). Yes this is from where the film gets it name Lunch Box.Its a non musical film with no good or bad songs to hum. but includes fair recipe mixed with emotions, sentiments, feelings and a bit part of funny conversations between Saajan and the new recruit Nawazuddin. You will find the "Hide & Seek" kind of relationship between these two characters.A good film to see, after a long time. Nothing is bad except the climax. The film ends non-concluded which is the only drawback of this film.

Ratings : **** (4 stars)

मैने तेरे दिल से कहा शुक्रिया,
मेरे दिल को दर्द देने के लिये.


युन तन्हा रेह्ना किसे पसन्द है?
मै तो जी रह हू बस मुकद्दर के लिये.


अपना बनाके छोड दिया गैरो कि तरह,
मै वफा निभा रहा खुद के लिये.


तुझे भुलाना अब मुम्कीन् कहान है,
बस भुला रहा हू मै तेरे ही लिये.

Something I thinks....

You were not beautiful,

But all those days spent with you were beautiful.I never miss you,I just miss that lovely time shared holding you in arms.
I never wanted you, I just needed you.

I was not in love with you,But love was filled in me, when I was with you.


Now, I am alone here,And when I need your company, I just went to all those places where we roved.

Instead of sitting with you, now I sit with emptiness.

Instead of talking with you, I talks with my poem.

And believe me, me and my poem, we always represent you.



Each and every word stands for you.

Every drop of fall tears, calls you without any voice just within heart.
When I see other couples, I see us in them.When I feels sunny, I wish to cyst myself with your dupatta. When the day is rainy, I miss our days in umbrella.
I not just miss you,But I really wish you.I do not have any right to call you back,But you have every bit of mine, to come back to me.



Amit Valmiki.

दुनिया कि अन्जूमन मे देखे,
हज़ार शहरो मे जाके देखे.
साफ और सुन्दर चेहरे तो
मैने बस हिन्दूस्तान मे है देखे.


Duniya ki anjuman mein dekhe,
Hazaar shehron mein jaake dekhe.
Saaf aur sundar chehre toh,
Maine bas hindustaan mein hain dekhe.

जो आइने मे दिखता है, अब सामने चेहरा वही है.
आस-पास फक़त तन्हाइ है, मेरा कोइ अपना नही है.

Poore safar ka adhura pyaar....

- By Amit Valmiki

Delhi ko alvida kehte huye meri train Mathura junction ke kareeb pahuchi.
Station kareeb aata raha aur train dheeme mein hoti rahi. Achanak, meri khidki ke bahaar se 
"Chai! Chai! Bolo Garam Chai....."
bilkul wakeef si awaaz aani shuru ho gayi.
Station ki godh mein pahuchkar, train ne saans lete huye apna safar thama. Train ke rukte hi pakode wala ekaa-ek mere saamne aa jata hai, mujhse kehta hai -
" Babu, garam pakode lelo, bilkul garam hai...."
Barsaat ka mausam tha, pakodon ka chaav toh hona hi tha, maine bhi laalsa mein 10 rupaye ke pakode khareed liye, us par khatti chatni aur thoda masala dalwaya. Paise lete hi, pakode wala aage ko badh gaya.
Pakodon ko choone ke baad pata chala ke woh bilkul thande the. Aur woh pakode wala bhi ab meri nazar ke daayre se kahin duur jaa pahucha tha.
Thande pakode dekh kar mera dimaag jarur garam ho gaya. Chalo kuch toh garam hua 

Train adhiktam 5 minute tak hi rukti thi Mathura mein, Train bas rawana hi hone ko thi, meri nazar tab laal (luggage) bag par baithi, gulaabi suit pehene huye, apne bandhe baalon ko gardan ke ekk taraf karte huye ladki par padi.
Use dekhne ke baad, maine bas apni aankhein mukhtasar pal ko moond li. Band aankhon mein mujhe ek chehra nazar aaya, jo aksar main apne sapno mein dekha karta tha. hubahuu, wahi hasi, wahi aankhein, wahi zulfon ko kandhe ke ek taraf bikhre chhodna. maine aankhein kholi toh ehsaas huya, mere khwaabon ki rani haqiqat ke roop mein laal luggage bag par baithi hai. Mujhe ab iss baat ka yakeeb bhi ho chala tha ke sapno ke mukaddar mein bhi haqiqat hoti hai.

Par yahaan ek gaflat thi, Mujhe bas uska deedaar mayassar tha, sohbat nahi. Maine faisla kar liya ke ab use apni rezgaar zindagi mein shaamil karna hai. mujhe bhi gulistaan saa ab khilna hai. Lekin waqt ko shayad mera faisla manjur na tha. Usko jee bhar ke dekha tak nahi tha, maine khareede huye pakode bhi khatam nahi huye the abhi tak toh, itne mein train ne mere armaano ko todte huye aage badhne ka ailaan kar diya.
Main use aur bhi shiddat se dekhne mein leen ho gaya, train ne station se chalna shuru kar diya. Dheere dheere train aage badhti rahi, aur mere saansein bhi badhti rahi. Aisa laga maano mera dil keh raha ho, ke - "Amit! bhai utar jaa ab......"

Lekin har aashiq gawaah hai, pyaar bas dil ki jarurat hai. Mere dil ne toh mera saath diya. Lekin shayad kisi kashmakash mein giraft tha mera dil.
Izaajat thi utarne ki, bas sahaas nahi tha. maine kaha chodo yaar,

Kya hua jo yeh ladki na mili toh?
Jo naseeb mein hogi wohi sahi......
Use hi kabhi gulaabi suit pehenakar, laal bag par bithakar guftguu karungaa us se. Mere naseeb mein bas yahi do ghadi ka pyaar tha shayaad. Pyaar mukammal toh ho na saka, haan lekin us ladki ke bahane mera article jarur pura ho gaya.

Sahi kaha hai kisi ne - 

" Har kisi ko mukammal jahaan nahi milta,
Kisi ko zameen toh kisiko aasmaan nahi milta."
