10 quotes from Second Spring
Quotes from my novel - Second Spring
1.
“A relationship that is not actively nurtured dies out eventually, I told myself. Or does it?”
2.
“Well, we actually never went around. We worked together, struggled through the corporate maze, shared our dreams, and, somewhere along the way, we came closer to each other. At the end, we touched each other’s heart. The impact was profound, much more than I thought it was initially.”
3.
“Loving someone selflessly would mean sharing their happiness whether you are part of that happiness or not.”
4.
“Our way of life decrees that everyone is born with a pre-determined destiny. With good karma, one can try to make the most of one’s circumstances. But that’s all. There is a lot that is beyond the power of mere humans, ; the future unfolds the way it is meant to. Everyone acts the way they are meant to and lives as they are meant to, ; not a moment more, not a moment less. Each person that you meet has a role to play and nothing can alter that. The relationship they share with you, the duration of their presence in your life, all of it is ordained”
5.
“If you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt. Once we cross the deepest part of hurt, it doesn’t hurt anymore. . You become part of the eternal journey of love commences again”
6.
It was the beginning of spring. The weather had started to get warmer and I could see the changes in the greenery around our housing society along with nature’s bright, vivid colors on my regular office route. The fresh green leaves and colorful flowers that surrounded me had acquired a soft, joyful hue. It was as if they were hinting at a new phase in my life in all their exuberant glory. My morning walks were getting warmer, but not unpleasantly so.
7.
I just hated her being able to read my mind with such ease. She knew I could read hers as well.
8.
But someone as lovely as you, surely you have a man in your life. Why am I hoping against hope that you don’t? That I would be the one to love and cherish you the way you deserve?
9.
When all the illusion breaks down, the turmoil created starts leading to a path of pursuit of the ‘self.’
10.
So, why me? What is it that women want, really? What makes them tick? Well, never mind. Greater minds than mine have pondered the question and drawn a blank.
a Second Spring...brings new hope

ना जाने कब...Poems inspired by Second Spring
ना जाने कब...
तु हो ना हो, तेरी यादों मे गुंजी हैं हर शाम मेरी,
हर दिन, हर शक्स में ढूँढा है मैंने सुरत तुम्हारी,
लमहों की दास्तानें बयान-ए-नाज हैं हमारी;
अधुरी धड़कनें, ख़्वाब अधुरें, अधुरें शिकवे-गिले मेरे,
ना जाने कब मिले अधुरा प्यार, अधुरा साथ, अधुरे एहसास हमारे...
ना जाने कब, ना जाने कब, ना जाने कब ।।१।।
दिल में बड़ा सा तुफान है,
ना जाने कब मेरे इस कोहराम को मुक़ाम मिलें,
ना जाने कब मेरे सासों को तेरें सासों की पहचान मिलें;
ना जाने कब दिल की धड़कनों को तेरी दस्तक मिलें,
ना जाने कब वो अधुरे से पलों को तेरे होने का एहसास मिले...
ना जाने कब, ना जाने कब, ना जाने कब ।।२।।
तु युँ तो है मेरे साथ, मेरे पास, मेरे हर पल में,
पर तुझें खोने पर, खो गया हुँ ख़ुद ही तेरे दिद़ार में,
तु है तो मैं हु, तेरे बिन कयु नही हुँ मैं कुछ भी कहीं पें;
ये ख़ालीपन, ये दिल का रोना, तेरे दस्तक को ढुंढना
मेरे रुह में,
ना जाने कब इस रूह को खोया हुआ वो एहसास मिले...
ना जाने कब, ना जाने कब, ना जाने कब मुझे तु मिलें ।।३।।

In Silence With Dad (Father's Day Poem)
I may not remember how many times you cradled me
But, I remember you when you hugged me
That warmth has no expiry
It has a lifetime memory
I may not remember you teaching me math
But, definitely remember you showing me the right path
This was your way
Always, wanted me to find my way
I may not remember tears in your eyes
But, I felt trembling voice in your goodbyes
It may be your strength
But, it blended in our wavelength
When I faced difficulty in dealing with mother
You rescued me by saying – don’t even bother
It is a part of growing up
You are not at blowing it up
I was struggling for my independence
Your reassuring voice gave me acceptance
It was that assurance
For my dependence
The silence grew longer and longer
As our differences grew smaller and smaller
You blessed me, I loved you
In those moments of blue

शब्द (Word) Hindi poem
हाँ. मैं शब्द हुँ
कभी बोलता हुँ,
कभी रुकता हुँ
कभी झुकता हुँ
और, कभी झुकाता भी हुँ
किसी के मन को हँसाते
किसी के भावनों को दुतकारते
किसी की ज़िंदगी को निहारते
किसी की आत्मा को झिंझोड़ते
और मैं चला -
कभी मुस्कुराते, कभी सिसकते...
मैं करण का शब्द था
द्रौपदी का अभिमान था
युधिष्ठिर का अंध था
दुर्योधन का अहंकार था
लेकिन, मैं श्रीकृष्ण ज्ञान भी था
मैं एक स्त्री की मर्यादा हुँ
मैं एक पुरूष का साहस हुँ
मैं किसी शिशु का शोक हुँ
मैं किसी शिक्षक का स्त्रोत हुँ
और, मैं करडों का अन्तरात्मा भी हुँ
किसी के लिये मैं वरदान हुँ
किसी का लिये मैं अभिशाप हुँ
किसी लेखक का मैं आत्मा हुँ
किसी संत का मैं विश्वात्मा हुँ
लेकिन, मैं नकारात्मक नहीं हुँ
मौन मुझे मार नहीं सकता
मन के अन्दर ढुंठ नहीं सकता
जिवहा पर मैं रुक नहीं सकता
लेकिन, किसी को ज़िंदगी दुं
मैं ऐसा भी एक शाश्वत हुँ
गीता के किसी श्लोक में
कालकोठरी के किसी दिवांरो पे
किसी पुस्तक कें कुछ पन्नों में
किसी कलाकार की चित्र में
जंगल की किसी गुफ़ा में
और रहुंगा मैं -
अन्नभिन्न रूप में, अनगिनत सदियों में...
संध्या
