How delightfully, insensitive"...!!

"Those who are critical don't like being criticized, and those who are insensitive have a deficiency in their senses."Suzy Kassem.

There are times when people around us feel that they are wiser or better because they have come above all things in life and because they have ceased to care. But it's not true, if you are being insensitive to others to prove your point that nothing affects you, then you are lying to yourself and not only to yourself but also to the people who care about you.

If you can't make me feel special, then don't make me feel insignificant either. We all must have come across this thought many a times in our lives. And it's true, if you really care for someone, tell them whatever is hurting you, instead of keeping it inside and showing that I am above all of this.

It's the irony of human nature that the most sensitive people are generally insensitive to the feelings of others.

"Your insensitivity never seizes to amaze me darling..."

"पहले तू अजनबी हुआ 
फिर तेरी मुहब्बत अजनबी हो गयी 
कई बार देखा है मैंने तेरी बेरुखी को 
फिर बेरुखी से भी बेरुखी हो गयी, 
तू मुझसे अजनबी हुआ 
और मैं 
ज़िन्दगी से अजनबी हो गयी,
माने अब तू, या न माने 
दर्द तो बखूबी दिया है तूने 
और मैं,'
इस दर्द से भी खुश हो गयी,
कुछ गुंजाइशें बची हैं, शायद अभी 
ज़िन्दगी में मेरी 
तू शामिल है अपनी बेरुखी के साथ 
आदतों में मेरी,
कभी तो पेश आएगा तू मुहब्बत से 
बस, यही है अब एक उम्मीद मेरी..."

Translation:

"First, you became a stranger
then your love unknown
have faced you this way, many a times
then I became stranger to your strangeness,
You became insensitive to me
And I became unknown to life,
Whether you agree, or
you don't
You gave me lot of pain, And look
look at me
I am happy with this pain too
It seems, few chances I may still have
in my life
That's why, you are still a part of me
with all your strangeness and
insensitivity
May be one day, you will realize it
And, that's one hope
I still have..."

Is it okay, if I call you mine...!!


Most of us believe, everything happens for a reason. There's a reason we met, there's a reason you have been with me and there's a reason, why I feel the way I do about you. I can't ignore any of that and I won't. Since the day I met you, I've felt like I could fly. My heart is lighter and when I am with you, there's no place else I'd rather be.

Love is a lot of things. It's a hard place to fall and a soft place to land. It's give and take, push and pull. You want to leave it behind, but you go back to it.

I just want you to know, that when I picture myself happy, it's with you.

"I will always have a weakness for you, my love..."

 "मैं कुछ खोई खोई सी
तू कुछ जुदा जुदा सा रहता है
कुछ तो बात है
इस सर्द रात के सन्नाटों में
कुछ अलग सा शोर सुनाई देता है
लगता है कभी
बिखर गए हैं कुछ पन्ने
हमारी इस कहानी के
हर लफ्ज़ अल्हैदा
हर हर्फ़ जुदा सा लगता है
तन्हाई में अपनी
समेट लेती हूँ
अपनी यादों के पन्नो को
कुछ पल के लिए ही सही
तू फिर मुझे अपना सा लगता है..."

Translation: 

"Ï am lost sometimes
and you stressed,
There must be something
in the silence of the night
I hear some noises
Sometimes, I feel
We have lost pages 
from our life
You seem to be distant 
these days,
But, in my loneliness
when I bring together
the pieces of my life
May be, for a while
You, seem to be mine..."

Loneliness

"The strongest of the people are mostly lonely..."

What is loneliness? If you ever meet someone who says, they are never lonely, one thing is for sure that they are lying or they are so scared of being lonely that they never tried to spend some time with themselves. Loneliness, not always is depressive. I believe, that there are times, when we all have the feeling of solitude, and that's the time when some find refuge in music, some in traveling, some in partying,writing and for some, it is the memories, they enjoy reliving the memories and believe me, memories need to be shared, always.

I am awfully greedy, I want everything from life, from happiness till solitude, they all together makes me a human with feelings. Loneliness is like a break, being all alone with oneself, may be just to figure out everything.

There will always be a corner reserved inside me, just for my solitude.

"यूँ ही पूछ बैठा था
एक दिन अचानक, वो मुझसे
कि वो कैसी है...
मैंने भी चौंककर देखा उसे
और कहा -
एक अनजानी राह जैसी है
तपती धूप में पेड़ों की छाओं जैसी है
सजदे में झुके फ़रिश्ते जैसी है
कभी, साहिल में उठते तूफ़ान जैसी है
मेरी तन्हाई, आज भी
बिलकुल मेरे जैसी है..."

Translation:

"He, suddenly asked me one day
How is She
Amazed, I looked at him
and said
She is like an unknown path, 
Just like the shade under the tree,
Calm as an angel in prayer,
And, sometimes just like a storm in sea,
My loneliness,'
Is still just like Me....
