Zindagi

जब-२ लगे कि बहुत पाठ पढ़ लिए हैं मैंने.
तब-२ तू मुझे एक  नया पाठ पढ़ाती है,
जब-2 मुझे लगे कि बहुत दुनिया देखी ली है मैंने.
तब-२  एक नयी दुनिया दिखा के , तू मुझे दुबारा हैरत मे लाती है.
यूँ तो मेरा सोचा हुआ अक्सर मुझे नसीब नहीं होता,
दिल का बुना हुआ मेरा ख्वाब अक्सर पूरा नहीं होता,
और जब मैं तुझसे हार के ख्वाब बुनना छोड़ दूं.
ठीक उसी पल तू मुझे एक नया ख्वाब दिखाती है , 
और जब मैं  इसे तेरा एक झूठा दिलासा समझ के इससे दूर जाना चाहूँ,
तब आशाओं की सुनहरी सेज दिखा कर तू मुझमे सपनों के पूरा होने की नयी उम्मीद जगाती है,
मैंने अपने सपनो के पूरा करने के लिए पूरा दम लगाया है,
औरों की क्या बात करूँ, मैंने तो तुझपे भी दांव लगाया है,.
इन सबके बाद भी अगर कभी मेरा ख्वाब पूरा ना हो,तब तू  मुझे बहुत सताती है,
मेरी हार मे मेरी गलतियाँ दिखा कर, तू मुझे खुद पर हसांती है,
सुख-दुःख तो जीवन के दो पहलू है, ये तो चलते रहेंगे,
मेरे ख्वाब कभी आकाश तो कभी धरा पर  रहेंगे,
पर इन सबमे तेरी मुझसे ये आँख मिंचोली, मुझे बहुत भाती है,
दुःख के समय मे भी तुझसे जीतने की चाह,मुझमे हमेशा एक नया हौसला जगाती है,
और जब-२ लगे कि बहुत पाठ पढ़ लिए हैं मैंने.
तब-२ तू मुझे एक  नया पाठ पढ़ाती है,
जब-2 मुझे लगे कि बहुत दुनिया देखी ली है मैंने.
तब-२  एक नयी दुनिया दिखा के , तू मुझे दुबारा हैरत मे लाती है...

ADDICTION

“The event is over now and I am going to celebrate the success of event” he said to me. I was also happy as my friend got the reward for his hard work and was satisfied with the event. Then I asked him “so what is your plan for celebration??” then he replied “we have sent some guys to the market to get some “adult’s cold drink” and then we would be having the cocktail party”. Now this was the statement which inspired me to think upon this topic seriously and to write upon it.
Actually the thought which was banging in my mind for last few years that “how the people relate their activities and incidences of their life with their addiction, how they make it(addiction) as a very important part of their life”. Some of the popular lines often said by the people are :-
1. “Its time to celebrate now, let’s have a cocktail party”.
2. Yar, I am very tensed now, please get some cigarettes or some “adult’s cold drink” for me.
3. Yar, I think I have grown up now. I should try this cigarette or “adult’s cold drink”.
“ isme to apni alag hi tashan hoti”
I have seen in many of the cases that initially many of the people try cigarette or “adult’s cold drink” just for some special occasions only but slowly they just relate it with incidences of their life and get themselves in such situation from where it becomes so tough to come out from this situation.
I just ask to them “ ok, you are happy, you must celebrate . But how would this “adult’s cold drink” help you to celebrate?? Celebration means getting together with your friends, with the people whose team effort gave you the chance for celebration, with the persons who are really happy in your happiness. In all these what is the role of that “adult’s cold drink”. Should it be as important that now it is giving you the chance to meet your well wishers?? I don’t think that it should.. do you??
I accept that you are tensed, frustrated by the circumstances around you, so you need to give time to yourself, to go through the real cause of the problem and get the solution of the problem but how would this cigarette help you come from that situation? Would it give you the solution of your problem or would it improve your concentration?? I don’t think so.
Yes, you have grown up now, so it means that you need to behave with maturity, you should be aware with the responsibilities which are coming towards you, but in no case it should be related with your habit of cigarette etc.( “aur isme koi tashan ki baat ni hoti hai”)
These were the only few examples of that how the people relate themselves, their habit to addiction.
People often say that “ yar, I don’t want to do this but society mai reh ke ye sab karna padhta hai” now I ask to them that if society would ask you to compromise with your morals, your principles, would you accept to do it??If your morals do not allow to do something then why do you do it?? Please don’t let that peer pressure to get over you. Only you (and up to some extent your well wishers) should be responsible for your decisions, never let the society to decide your step, just be yourself.
Generally people when talk about the addiction, they just limit themselves up to that cigarette etc. only but it is not so. Addiction may be mental addiction too that you are addicted to do something at any rate and at any cost. You are in such a habit of talking to someone or doing anything that once you don’t get that then it becomes so tough for you to live normally, it is also an addiction. Mental addiction is nevertheless less dangerous than that addiction, in fact in many cases it (mental) is more dangerous than other kind of addiction.
Friends, life is too long, we would have to go through the various phases of life, would come across through various incidences so don’t relate it with your addiction because everything has its limit and if once that limit is crossed then it would definitely create some problem and generally addiction crosses that limit. I am not saying that drinking, smoking or getting in habit of something is bad thing.. no, it is your choice only whether to go for it or not. But please do not relate it with your those incidences , do not give credit of your addiction to that incidences.
PS: in starting of this article, I just told about my friend. My friend was moving towards addiction…but finally knowing my thoughts, going through the concept of this article, he has decided to not to do it again and his this decision gave me enormous pleasure and the ending of this article in real sense..:)
