"Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.” ― Epicurus
My dear, in the midst of hate, I found there was, within me, an invincible love. In the midst of tears, I found there was, within me, an invincible smile. In the midst of chaos, I found there was, within me, an invincible calm. I realized, through it all, that… In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer. And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there’s something stronger- something better, pushing right back. - Albert Camus
Once there lived among the green hills a hermit. He was pure of spirit and white of heart. And all the animals of the land and all the fowls of the air came to him in pairs and he spoke unto them. They heard him gladly, and they would gather near unto him, and would not go until nightfall, when he would send them away, entrusting them to the wind and the woods with his blessing. Upon an evening as he was speaking of love, a leopard raised her head and said to the hermit, "You speak to us of loving. Tell us, Sir, where is your mate?" And the hermit said, "I have no mate." Then a great cry of surprise rose from the company of beasts and fowls, and they began to say among themselves, "How can he tell us of loving and mating when he himself knows naught thereof?" And quietly and in distain they left him alone. That night the hermit lay upon his mat with his face earthward, and he wept bitterly and beat his hands upon his breast. Khalil Gibran
Zikr thi uss raat, zindagi me khushiyo ki.. Or Humne neend ka bahana bana diya..
I switched my job and changed my service in April 2018. Luckily I got my posting in the same city as that of my residence. Commuting from home to office was a challenging affair, so I was searching for a govt accommodation that was at a convenient distance from the office. In that process, I came across a quarter, that I liked instantly from the outside. There was a little garden in front, a lobby and then the drawing room began, followed by three rooms, one in the left, one straight and one to the right wrt the drawing room. The caretaker seemed to be a good person and gladly showed me all the rooms. But, something was off. The minute I entered the drawing room I felt as if I was being noticed. As I entered room after room, the feeling intensified. When I went to the third room, I felt choked, and restless. There was this kitchen that was adjacent to that room but you have to take a few steps down from floor level to enter the kitchen. An image of a Girl running around floated in my mind. In the corridoor, I felt as if a middle aged woman in her late 30's was weeping and I started feeling depressed. And all this was happening in broad daylight. I visited atleast a dozen quarters before that but never felt the same. I dared not step into that kitchen. A sheer sense if dejection was permeating my whole being. I felt suffocated. Without any hesitation I got out of the quarter and looked back at it the last time, sent some prayers... and left. I forgot about that incident. An year later, I got to know, a mother, killed her 11 year old girl in that quarter and then burnt herself. Her body was found stuck in the floor of that corridoor.

"मुझे ले चलो, आज फिर उस गली में...
जहाँ पहले-पहले, ये दिल लड़खड़ाया...
जहाँ सो रही है मेरी ज़िंदगानी,
जहाँ छोड़ आया मैं अपनी जवानी;
वहाँ आज भी एक चौखट पे ताज़ा,
मोहब्बत के सजदों की होगी निशानी..." 🎼 🎵

All we have in this terrifying world are the connections we make.
तेरे जाते ही फिर से निकल आये, दर्द और तन्हाई के घने साये, अब इन गहरे अंधियारों से, भला मुझे कौन बचाने आये। वो दिन होता था, रात थी होती, अब बस वक़्त गुजरता है, बदल चुका सब, मैं बस ठहरा, भला ये कौन मुझे समझाये।

Spending a weekend at home with your parents, make you feel you exist and mean something. And you still feel yourself to be a kid again, depending on them for a few day.
