What comes to your mind, when you think of this word Stranger?
My momma says, don't talk to strangers....well yes, but what else, how often you smile at a stranger and get the stranger smiling moment?
We've got so busy in our lives, that we don't smile, forget about smiling on strangers. There is an old phenomenon doing rounds in most part of the world, wherein people are leaving nice hand written notes in public places, like cafes, libraries, metros, city parks etc, all kinda things they are writing from nice quotes to something humorous, simply to make the person smile, who find these little notes. Isn't it a good idea to make somebody's day?
But, how often did we try to meet the stranger within?
Isn't it amazing how a person who was once just a stranger suddenly meant the world to you. And such strange bonds sometimes becomes the lifeline of your happiness, they turn into best friends, life partners, love of the life.
Laugh with the strangers sometimes...!!!

"कभी ज़िन्दगी अजनबी लगे, ऐ दोस्त
तो मिल लेना खुद से एक अजनबी की तरह
होता नहीं हर अजनबी दुश्मन
कभी मिल जाते हैं दोस्त भी अजनबी की तरह...
ऐसा भी नहीं की तू बुलंदियों पर हो
और भूल जाये अपने ही वज़ूद को
फिर भी नाज़ तो करना खुद पर
चाहे हमें भूल जाना किसी अजनबी की तरह
कभी ज़िन्दगी अजनबी लगे, ऐ दोस्त
तो मिल लेना खुद से एक अजनबी की तरह...
हर मुक़ाम झुकेगा तेरे क़दमों पर ही
और तुम, समेटे हुए ज़िन्दगी की तारीख़
चल देना किसी नयी मंज़िल की तरफ
मिल जाती है कभी मंज़िल भी अजनबी की तरह
कभी ज़िन्दगी अजनबी लगे, ऐ दोस्त
तो मिल लेना खुद से एक अजनबी की तरह...
ग़मों की बदली जो छा जाये कभी
यक़ीन के आसमान पर रखना नज़र
कुहासे से ही फूटेगी आशा की किरण
कभी मिल जाती है रौशनी भी अजनबी की तरह
कभी ज़िन्दगी अजनबी लगे, ऐ दोस्त
तो मिल लेना खुद से एक अजनबी की तरह...
भूले से कभी जो याद आये अगर हम
तो याद कर लेना हमें, एक अजनबी की तरह..."
