Is the world coming closer; or you are missing your own near and dear ones?

Caution: ahh- this is not amongst the usual posts like you have seen before on my blog, read with caution :P


Correct, at first look, it seems more obvious that the world is shrinking and coming together using new and fast growing social networks; but is it really? To some extent, yes, but to most, surprisingly, it's not. Don't agree? Okay, let me help you understand my views on this.

We (almost all) in today's world are using smartphones, its bringing the world together for sure, but, the question is whether its helping the ones near you bring closer? Is it helping you getting closer to your society? Is it helping bring you closer to your family? Not all would agree to me, I know and it's absolutely fine, but try giving it a second thought.

Especially in countries like India, we are keeping ourselves at a distance from the society we live in. Most of the times, we happen to know something or the happening at a places besides us through electronic media and when I say electronic media it covers social sites, news channels, etc. It's nothing wrong if you tend to hear about an incidence at a distant place but what if you hear about a place next to you? We are living in a nuclear society, often we don't even know who our neighbors are, which is neither good for you nor for the society.

I don't want to be mistaken that this post is against using social media but it's more about you getting closer to your family, your society. Devote quality time with those who matters to you the most.

With these thoughts in mind, I would take a pause and leave you to have a thought and post your comments.

Aye dil-e-nadaan

aye dil-e-nadaan,

tu mohabbat karta hi kyun hai?

har baar khud ko samjhata hai,

fir bhi uske liye khud ko bekarar karta hi kyun hai!

har waqt talaashti hain jise nazarein,

us chehre pe tu marta hi kyun hai?

lakhon hain hasinayein is jahan mein aur bhi,

fir bhi tu bas usi k liye dhadakta kyun hai!!

Me & You

Just a thought, bit random, on my definition of my world- Me & You!!

When I walk on a lonely road,

I think of the entities of my world,

the world, which is not the same as all see!

It’s the world which inspires me,

without which one just can't imagine me!

It’s the world of people

who care for me,

& of those whom I care for!

I owe everything to my world,

not to get anything in return,

but just for the love, I wish to earn!

It’s just the relations which matter the most,

gives you the unconditional support when you need the most,

and make you laugh when you are about to cry,

even when the situations are wry!

Sometimes, I sit alone and think,

in my own virtual world,I sink.

At some moment I smile,

and at the other I just wanna cry.

Sometimes when I feel alone,

I wish to close my eyes,

and float into my thoughts.

I slowly find myself surrounded,

not with anything that’s bounded,

but it’s the everlasting fragrance,

of the precious moments I can't forget!

It drives me on its own,

takes me deeper and deeper,

& when I remember, makes me much happier!

I love those first drops,

which spreads happiness all around,

for each and every object that’s on this ground!

The exceptional aroma it leaves,

has always, something to give,

which inspires everyone to live!

I just try to be the same,

no matter whether I lose or gain,

I believe in me, I believe in you,

I believe in everybody around me, who’s true!

Yet, I believe there are a very few,

who comes and stays with you,

share the times - no matter its happiness or woes,

it doesn’t matter for them, because they are so close!

Going deeper into my thoughts,

with having almost everything lost,

no matter whatever I am left with,

might be worthless for others,

but still, I own some precious jewels!

'U'

One day I thought of U and fell asleep,

In my own illusive reality called dreams, created an imaginary U!

With some permanent footprint of memories in the heart-

the never ending gossips; the never ending fun,

the never ending relation; the never ending love,

the never ending "U n me"; the never ending 'we'!

Days passed and so did the nights,

still looking out for U,

in those awesome sleepless nights!

Then one-day we crossed each other,

without an iota of hint, it was U.

I eventually closed my eyes

and my heart just got a strike!

By the time, I could turn and hold U,

U were gone, within a blink of sight!!

No matter what happens,

deep in my heart I will always feel U!!

dedicated to 'U'
