The oasis of peace

In the modern world, the lifestyle seems to advance to the next level ceaselessly. This obviously leads to more prosperous and comfortable life. It does also lead to change in the way society responds to inter-personal needs – sometimes for good and sometimes for bad and finally settling for what suits it best. However, what does not change is the very basic instinct of human being of being social, being approachable and being loved.
To be social, to be approachable and to be loved isn’t an easy one for one has to be social, one has to approach and one has to love. In the middle of demanding work-life, it is all the more difficult to control fleeting thoughts. Fleeting because the world has become closer than ever. Difficult because most of the time, thoughts are pre-occupied. In the middle so much of flutters, not only one suffers mentally and emotionally, but also physically - the last being the most unfortunate.
Mental and emotional losses can get compensated over medium to long term, but how about physical loss! All those years of slogging your mind and body can take a toll which can never be cured. Physical gains need consistent intake of fresh air and activities that challenge the body progressively. Instead of being confined to the bed over long weekends (I hope I can reach out to people who burn their calories sleeping till late afternoons), one must look towards investing time in health and fitness. For instance, how about early morning walk on super Sunday, how about couple of hours sweating at a badminton court, how about skipping for few minutes!
Engaging in physical activity does not take much of efforts. It just requires will power to test your physical abilities which would ultimately result into peace of mind in the long run. Alas, it only sounds easy and comforts takes over the will power for many of us! So, if you desire for peace of mind, start testing your muscles and bones!

चिट्ठी आई है...

मिट्टी की महक तुम्हे क्या बताऊ मैं,
खुशबू से लिपटी चादर ओढाऊ कैसे मैं,
पल पल जी चाहे जिस पल को जीना,
उस पल के रूबरू कराऊ कैसे मैं...

तुम छोड़ गए थे प्यारा सा बचपन,
उन यादो के सहारे बहलता अब ये मन,
परदेसी हवाओं में घुल के रह ना जाना तू,
लहराती पछुआ आज भी करती साँसों को नम...

पल बढ़ कर चले गए तुम य़ू दूर,
आँखों की रौशनी जैसे हो गयी हो दूर,
तुम्हारी कामयाबी से चहकता है ये दिल,
पास ना होने से मचलता भी है ये दिल...

कभी तुम आओगे लेके खुशियों की बहार,
पल पल है हमें तो बस वो इंतज़ार,
पल पल जी चाहे जिस पल को जीना,
उस पल के रूबरू कराऊ कैसे मैं...
