Bechaara Woh!

Hello Everyone!

It’s been long since I’ve written in Hindi.. toh aaj kuchh gadar machai jaaye!

Taare Zameen Par!! I know sabko ye movie yaad hogi and I’m sure Ishan Avasthi se sabko sympathy bhi hogi but kabhi socha ki Ishan jaise kitne bechaare bachche hamari school seat ke baju main bethe hote the?

Ek bechaara, homework karne main koi interest nahi, average word bhi shayad zada tha uske liye.. Teachers ke thapad aur gaaliyo se din ki shuruat aur baap ke criticism aur thapad se din ka antt.

Jab ye movie dekhi thi tab mere dimag main ek hi insaan aaya tha.. Naam baad main bataunga but let’s first see his life story.

I’ll refer that person with the name Ishan for now.

Ishan, paid hua ek middle class family main. Parents as usual jaise sabke hote hain, maa pyar karne wali aur baap bhi karta tha pyar lekin agar thapad kam maarte toh aur pyara lagta. Jab tak school jaane ke liye janaab bade nahi hue the tab tak bhot aish ki, daily aam khaana, toys and glasses and cups todna unka shauk tha lekin aaj woh shauk hi bhul gaye hain janaab.

School ki shuruat se hi ulti ginti shuru ho gayi thi, Assembly main prayer ke time aankh na band kari toh punishment main ek thapad class teacher se aur ek maa baap se. Jab bade hue aur duniya samajh aane lagi tab shayad icchayein bhot thi lekin puri kahan hoti. Toffee maangne pe minnattein karni padti aur padhai ke bhai chor the.

School se aane ke baad maa jab dopahar main sone ko bolti thi toh shehzade ko nind nhi aati thi aur woh chupke se, dabe pao faraar ho jate the aur unka rukh office ya cricket ki taraf hota tha.

School main jab homework ki baat aati thi toh woh hota nahi tha aur jawab main milte the puri class ke saamne thapad, ghuse, mukke aur award main milti thi dustbin ke pass wali jagah floor pe.

Homework na karna uski aadat thi aur actually point samajh nahi aata tha ki homework karke milega kya.. Lekin na teacher sunte the aur na Maa Baap.. Mile toh sirf bhare school ke saamne thapad aur gaaliyan.

Kabhi kabhi har Maa Baap ki tarah pyar se samajhaate the lekin bechaara itna pareshan tha aur sochta tha ki karu kya agar nahi hota toh. Bimar nahi tha woh lekin who karna hi nahi chahta tha. Sab bole kaam chor hai, nakaara hai, badtameez hai, besharam hai.

Dadi aur Dada ka laadla tha bhai lekin unke pass rehta hi kitne dino ko tha woh, Vapas school hi jana.

Jab janab bade hue toh zindagi ka pehla pyar hua class main and as usual har ladke ki tarah ye One Way Traffic tha. Ladki ke alawa puri class jaanti thi uske dil ki baat lekin bhai beizzat hota tha ussi ke saamne. Ussi ladki ke saamne zameen pe beth kr school main saalo nikaal diye.

Maa ko Parent Teachers Meet pe Teachers se milne main sharam aati thi aur baap ko gussa. Jawab sirf yahi hota tha ki isko hostel main daal do, maar maar kar sudhar denge. Mere khayal se agar daal dete toh hi behtar tha, Maa Baap ke thapad toh na milte.

Jab bechaara rota tha tab aankhein meech leta tha aur zor zor se rota tha, sirf ek hi baat bolta tha, koi mujhe pyar nahi karta. Shayad sab usse acha banana chahte the lekin ye kabhi nahi puchha ki Tu Kya Bann Na Chahta Hai?

Silsilaa chalta raha beizzati ka aur school main kabhi fail, kabhi pass, belt aur gaaliyan kha kar thoda bada hua. Uske dost ache the, jaan chidakte the uspe lekin faayeda kya? Uthaate kuchh toh faayeda hi the aur kuchh chup rehte the. Bhai hamesha table pe khade rehta tha kyuki woh baat bhot karta tha, hasta bhot tha, shararat bhot karta tha aur shayad ye kisi ne naa samjha lekin usse pata tha ki woh kuchh karega Zindagi main.

School badal diya Baap ne uska, bola bade school main daalenge tujhe. Woh School bade logo ka tha, 3 saal tha woh uss school main aur agar gino toh shayad school life main uske dost ek bhi nahi tha. Ek dost bana tha lekin fir woh bada aadmi bann gaya aur woh uske saath rehta bhi kyu bhai, scholar tha woh!

3 saalo main se jo pehla saal tha usme pehle din class main ghuste hi classmates ne bully kiya. Naam mile usse bhot saare Bandar, Monkey Brand, Pokhla, Muh Khulau aur sach main har ek naam se usko sirf rona aata tha aur mann main ek hi baat sochta tha ki in sabka jawab dunga sabko lekin pata nahi kaise. Uss pehle saal main woh kuchh mahine kisi se baat nahi karta tha. Jiss bechaare ko bolne aur hasne ki aadat thi aur mahino tak school main kuchh nahi bolta tha. Chup chaap ek kone main, akele apni seat pe betha rehta tha. Apne purine dosto aur school ko miss karta tha lekin koi na samjha uske mann ka haal. Sabka jawab sirf yahi hota tha ki ye CHUTIYA BANDAR HAI. Har ladki pe uska crush tha lekin woh usko ek aankh na dekhti.

Gharwalo ko laga thik hai sab, ho jayega sab lekin ek saal nikal gaya. Agle saal section badle, bachche badle lekin bhai wahi ka wahi tha. Ek dost mila tha jo school main naya naya aaya tha, uske jaise kayi aur bhi naye aaye the aur sabne diya usse inaam main dhoka. Socha tha usne ki ek din sabko jawab dega, pata nahi kaise lekin dega.

Teesre saal ki toh bechaare ki shuruat hi zordar thi, class ke 30 bachcho ne usse corridor main zameen pe patak kar laato aur ghuso se gaaliyan dekar maara tha. Marta kya na karta woh waha se bhaaga. Do dost aaye ki saalo ko sabak sikhayenge.. Sikhaaya bhi lekin beizzatti bhot hui thi bhai ki. Kasam khaayi thi ki badla lega sabse lekin abhi sirf zindagi ki shuruat thi.

Fir aakhri school badla aur mile kuchh sachche dost jo uske dost uske liye the. Tab tab shehzaade gaaliya dena seekh chuke the. Ab woh aur logo se smart tha lekin beizzat aaj bhi hota tha. Uski aadat kharab nahi thi bas woh better bann na chaahta tha. Sab log English main bol lete the lekin bhai ka haath yaha bhi tang tha thoda.

School ke aakhri dino main Baap ne Engineering Exams ke form ke liye itna force kiya ki dimag zindagi ko khatam karne ke khayal tak gaya lekin fir usko woh kasam yaad aayi ki usse zindagi main kuchh karna hai..

College aa gaya ladka, apne bal bute pe. Baap ne donation dena chaaha lekin usne mana kar diya. Usko lag raha tha ki ab zindagi ki nayi shuruat karenge. Naye log, naye dost, nayi kahaani. Aur iss bar usne sab naya kiya.. College main Drama kiya, Song Gaya, Dance bhi kiya, Jo kabhi stage pe khada nahi hua tha ab woh debate kar raha tha stage pe. Audience ko bhi face kar raha tha.

Maa ne usko ab bolna chhod diya tha kyuki maa ka mann jaanta tha ki uska beta kuchh alag karega lekin Baap ko darr tha ki usne bete woh struggle na karna pade jo usne kiya.

College main National Event Organize karaya, apna parcham desh main lehraya, ab woh apne main khush tha, usse apni manzil dikh rahi thi. Usko dikh raha tha ki shayad ab woh kasam puri ho jayegi.

Struggle ab bhi bhot tha kyuki college main kuchh karne ke liye saari politics and baton ko samajhna padta tha lekin bhai ko ab parwah kaha thi ab woh nikal pade the, college main log unhe jaante the, shararato ka level badh gaya tha aur gaaliyo ka bhi. Online dating ki thi ladke ne aur ladki ne di THULLU!

Hona hi tha, sab hona hi tha, International Event Organize kara liya bechaare ne, Team handle karne lag gaya tha, usse samajh aa rh tha ki Engineering uss se naa ho paayi toh ab woh kuchh aur dhund rh tha. Naukri ki tension kabhi nahi thi aur naa hi baap ke paise ka rubaab, bas kuchh kar guzarne ki lalak thi usme aur duniya ke saamne apna parcham lehraana tha.

College khatam hua toh maharaj naukri ke liye shehar chhod dusre shehar gaye, office waale shuru main acche the lekin 6 mahine main jab bechaare ne naukri chhodne ka decision liya toh office waalo ne bhi akela chhod diya, khaane ke liye bhi nahi puchha. Office ke peon ko uske aansu dikhte the lekin baaki ko nahi.

Usne ghar phone kiya, bola Papa naukri chhod raha hu, Baap bola aaram se chhod de, aaja vapas, apan yaha kar lenge kaam. Bhai ne khaa li thi kasam ab kuchh bhi ho jaye lekin naukri nahi karenge apan.

Vapas apne shehar aaya raat bhar bus main rote hue, socha fir saala tu hi haara. Lekin ab uska lakshya bada tha aur chha jaane wala tha. Sab puchhte the ki ab tujhe aage kya karna hai aur launde ka jawab tha, DHANDHA karunga.. Business!

Bole baap ko join karle lekin nahi bhai ko woh bhi gawaara nahi tha kyuki bachpan se itni maar jo khaayi thi toh jawaab kya deta woh duniya ko.

Khol di ek company, stupid si, koi lakshya nahi, koi raasta nahi lekin ye pata tha ki kuchh karna hai. Pehla target decide kiya 2 mahine kaam kiya aur mila kya… usse target scrap karna pada aur kaam thapp. Usne fir dusra target decide kiya lekin yaha bhi maat khayi bechaare ne aur haar gaya.

Jab kuchh na ho raha tha tab socha ki naukri kar lete hain lekin saala dusri Company ke CEO’s ko ye gawaare nahi tha ki woh muh fatt aur haara hua CEO hai apni company ka aur toh usse naukri bhi nahi mili.

Bhai ne naukri ka laalach chhoda aur aaram se beth gaya… Usko ussi bich 2 dost mile main jo bole, bhai bhot marwa li… Ab duniya main Chhed karenge.. Chal sab vapas shuru karte hain.

Duniya ko face karne ki himmat fir aayi aura aage nikal gaya who.. ab ye soch liya tha ki pichhe nahi dekhega… marr jayega lekin ye kaam pura karke uthega. Sabne kaam ke naam par sirf dilaasa diya aur paise nahi.

Uske baap ne usko aur uske dosto ko itna beizzat kiya ki uski himmat tut gayi lekin usko uske bachpan ke dost ne samjhaya.. bola bhai Baapo ka kaam hota hai humein demotivate karna.. tension mat le.. hum hain tere saath.. Itna bada socha hai toh saale ko bada banayenge apan.

Jab uska kaam hua tab uss bechaare ka Baap bhare stage pe sabke saamne bola ki shayad itna bada main nahi kar paata jo aaj mere bete ne kiya hai. Khushi se uski aankhein bhar gayi thi, sabki aankhein uski taraf thi, aaj duniya usko jaanti thi, aaj woh star tha, ek founder tha, ek insaan jiske kaam ko log saraah rahe the aur jaan rahe the. Jab uske bolne ka mauka aaya toh woh kuchh na bol saka. Aankhein uski bhar chuki thi aur gala choke ho gaya tha.

Sirf ek baat usne sabke saamne boli, ye mera kaam unn sab logo ka jawab hai jinhone usse maara, daanta, gaaliyan di, demotivate kiya aur criticize kiya. Ye unke liye bhi hai jo kuchh karna chahte hain.

Uske shabdo ke baad sab hue khade aur woh uski sapna pura hua… sab usko appreciate karne ke liye khade hue aur taaliyo ki gadgadahat se hall gunj gaya.

Usne jo company kholi thi woh luckily ek award ke liye nominate ho gayi. Vishwas nahi hua usko tab jab uski company ko short list kar liya gaya final round ke liye.

Aaj woh ye likh raha hai, Unn awards ka naam hai Tata First Dot powered by NEN Awards Most Innovative Students Startup of the year aur uski company ka naam tha.. Oyster International Trust of Model United Nations.

Aur Ishaan… uska naam

Naam banane ki koshish main woh lekin woh ye bhi seekh gaya ki inn sab baaton ke beech usne jo suna aur samjha woh shayad uske bhale ke liye hi tha!

Shayad ek Ishaan hum main se har kisi ke andar hota hai… Shayad!

A Stranger..

Hi People!

Things have been slow at my end in the New Year and I hope they are slow for you as well. I know that’s a stupid wish but for the upcoming roller coaster in the year, a slow start is indeed necessary! 😉

Well this one is yet again from a movie and this time it’s “New York I Love You”! While watching the movie I had no clue where the story is driving to but then I realized it’s about different people and their lives and stories in New York and because of the subtleness and unpredictable things and the faith people had in the city, they loved the city.

What I felt was common in every story was that, most of the people were unknown to each other. They were either just recent acquaintance or possible Strangers!

So here is to all the strangers we meet in life. Life can’t stop even if you are running through the worse of the times and the mere fact of making life interesting is to keep on meeting new people. It’s important to meet new people not just for randomness but for the sake of future.

I’m sure for those who don’t believe in meeting strangers, it is quite weird to go and meet random people, Right? But there is a fact on this that, in front of a complete stranger you can just be yourself! You don’t have to act normal if you are not, you don’t have to act crazy if you are not. Strangers don’t know you so you can just be yourself.

Strangers won’t judge you and frankly even if they do, you won’t be bothered about it at all. Strangers might give you a better suggestion for the situation you are in without being biased. Strangers might be the person you can trust more than anyone because you don’t have the fear to lose with him. Your expectations might or might not be fulfilled but if things worked out then you might be hooked up for the rest of your lives may be as Friends, Partners, Spouse, etc.

I have met many people at random at some conferences, weddings, travel, city rides, expedition, walking, parties, etc. and I’m sure each one of you have met.

So I’ll just pen down few point where you can find the encouragement to meet an unknown, A Stranger:

1. You are traveling in train and you met a person reading a novel on Chetan Bhagat and you discuss about his taste and then his life and your and then you become friends with him. Or possibly, you don’t even ask his name and move ahead with a sweet memory;
2. You met a girl in a party, standing alone at the corner and watching everyone. Taking an initiative to talk to her might make you a wannabe or hooker but it might end up being good friends for life;
3. You met a girl during a conference, didn’t talk at all but then at the end after few days you might talk to her again and then you just get hooked her for life;
4. You met a guy on street and didn’t have a lighter to light your cigarette and you asked him to light your cigarette. That guy might start hitting on you with his cheesy lines but then you never know he might be the Mr. Perfect for your life;
5. You went for an expedition and met few girls on the trip and in the first place you were pissed with either one’s attitude and other one’s figure but possibly while having a drink at night after an adventurous rafting you end up being buddies who travel along for the rest of your lives;
6. A girl calls you up to discuss about how to organize her conference and while discussing the same with a complete stranger you came to know that you have mutual friends and you have worked for the same organization in different cities for years and at the end you are Besties!
7. You met a Conference staff member at a conference and find her cute while she said Thank You and Welcome and later on grabbed food and smoke together and became close friends;
8. You met a guy at a conference and you both had come up with superb team building ideas and worked together and in future you might call up once or twice an year but talk for hours and discuss about the chicks you dated and your future aspect of being a CEO;
9. You met a girl and tried your talent with her while flirting because find her hot but later on you might be that much unlucky that just having sex with her for once makes you her spouse for future;

I don’t have point number 10 or might be this is my Number 10..

A simple message to all of you out there is, take risks, meet new people, Meet A Stranger daily, have coffee, discuss your life, ideas and thoughts and I am sure he / she will prove to be better than the people you already have in life! 🙂

Asta La Vista! :-*

2015 – Hell Yeah!

So here it is yet again, A New Beginning!

2015 – Good or Bad? No clue but ambitions and inspirations are a lot to make this year a remarkable one.

So 2014 had gone now and I have just realized that what I keep telling others about Past and History, I am myself not over the things there were in past but I keep up the pace for not letting them affect my future and I will not let it happen.

Each one of us is obsessed with past or maybe I’m saying this, so that I can set myself feel good for it. Not that my past had been very struggling and it seems for the people who know about it but the things which had been on me are known to me.

Anyway, for 2015 I have no resolutions because resolutions are nothing but just false commitments which I do and end up not accomplishing them. So it’s better to do what you feel like and don’t resolute anything.

This year might be an year changing or might be a usual one but I’m sure I’ll learn a lot and I’m sure I’ll outcast my previous years and be proud of things what I did and made it remarkable.

What I look forward for this year in simple manner is just to feel a little sorted in life and not that confusing and frustrated.

Just a smile at the end and stress free is all that I look upon!

And yeah, it’s really not about New Year; It’s just about the fact that you accept that every day is a New Beginning and when things go wrong just Begin Again!

Love for all! 🙂
