When we met life!


Woh sar pe sabke kaal sa mandraya, usne sabke maut ke dar ko jagaya. Jung chhedi usne bhishann si, aam logon ke bhes mein kaiyon ko farishton se badhkar dikhaya. Vishwa bhar mein kolahal macha tha, social distancing hi ek raasta bacha tha.

Corona virus jaisi mahamari ne aise baaziyan palti, jo kisi ne sapne mein nahi socha tha. Shayad kisike saath pehli baar hua hoga, ke boss ne kaam pe aane se mana kar diya, aur shayad kisiko saalon mein pehli baar pehle wala ravivaar laga hoga. Jo log abroad ki taareef kar usmein basne ke sapne saja rahe the, unhi ki thaliyon par aaj desh ki jai jaikaar thi. Keto diet ke deenge haanknewale aaj maa ke haath ke rajma-chawal ka lutf utha rahe the. Koi saalon baad kitchen mein apne haathon se apnon ke liye khana bana raha tha. Jise padhne se chid hoti thi, aaj woh bhi William Shakespeare ki kitabein padh raha tha. Files ke beech rehne wale ne bhi aaj kayi saalon baad paint brush utha hi liya. Rock music ka shaukeen, aaj caarvan pe kishore da ke gaane sun raha tha. Parivar ko waqt na de paate corporates aaj apne bacchon ko bachpan ke kisse suna rahe the. Din bhar social media par chipke rehne wale bacchon ko aaj dadaji ki purani tasveeron mein zyada dilchaspi thi. Netflix and chill wale aaj saath baithkar ludo khel rahe the.

Koi apni parchayi se mila, toh koi tanhai se. Kisi ko mili dhyaan chhaya, toh kisine aaj ek naya gyaan paya. Kahin kisi ke saalon purane zakhamon par malham lagaya, toh kahin kisi ki yaad ne kisi ko behtahasha rulaya. Kisi ko maa ki mamta keemat samajh mein aayi, toh kisi ko baap ki taqleefon ka ehsaas hua. Kahin naastik bhi aaj apnon ke liye sajde mein sar jhuka raha tha. Saath baithkar kuch hase, kuch roye toh kuch sharatein purani yaadein wapas le aayi. Kisi ne apne zindagi ke sabse ehem faisle liye, toh kisi ne apne pyar ko saalon baad phir paya. Kisi ne zindagi ke naye tareeqe azmaye, toh kisne ne zindagi ke naye sapne sajaye.

Sabne apna farz adaa kiya. Jo apnon ke saath the woh bhi, aur jo nahi the woh bhi. Bina apne baare mein soche, jaan hatheli par rakhkar din raat woh ladte rahe. Har pal is umeed par tike rahe ki aakhir sab theek ho jayega. Hum yahan apna farz nibha rahe hain, toh uparwala bhi apna farz nibhayega.

Yeh jung ab khatam hone ko hai, uska aakhri waqt aane ko hai. Kal phir ek naya savera hoga, kal phirse hum apni purani zindagi dhal jayenge. Par ek seekh hamesha saath rahegi…

"Mushkil chahen kaisa bhi waqt aaye, tal jayega. Abhi surya ast ho gaya toh kya hua, kal phir suraj chamakti roshni lekar aayega!"

The Ancient Love Story...Chapter 5

The Ancient Love Story...Chapter 5 Next morning, the sun had risen in the blue skies. Udai was still asleep and the window on his right was allowing the sunrays to fall his impetuous face. The birds were chirping near on the tree near the balcony. The sunrays gradually moved towards Udai’s eyes and ended up breaking his sleep.   Udai got off his bed and noticed Jeevant was already up before him. She entered the room a couple of seconds later. Her dressing was simple, but still she was looking like a goddess. She had a tray in her hand with all the things in it needed for the Morning Prayer. Her jet-black hair was wet and open, with the cool breeze going back and forth. Udai was so mesmerized with her beauty that he couldn’t stop himself and complimented her with a huge smile on his face, “You look like a goddess!” seeing Udai’s expressions made Jeevant shyly reply, “Thank you very much.” Everything was quite a couple of second. None of them had anything to say. Both of

The Ancient Love Story …Chapter 1 Kumbalgarh We are talking about the time when Banbir had betrayed the royal family of Mewar and had usurped the throne. He had already killed and captured Vikramaditya, the third son of Rana Sanga and was all set to kill Prince Udai. The brave and beloved Panna Dai saved Prince Udai Singh. She took Udai Singh and fled out of Mewar to keep the young prince alive and safe. They moved from one place to another in search of protection, but somebody had spread a word that an unruly servant had stolen from the palace of Mewar, so were not to be helped. In the end, Asha Shah Depura, a Jain merchant of Kumbalgarh who was the governor of that area, gave him shelter. Asha Shah Depura had spread the misleading word that Udai Singh was his own nephew. In the meantime, Raj Rana Jait Singh had fixed his eldest daughter, Swarup Devi’s alliance with Rao Maldeo of Marwar. There was an assembly convened at the court of Marwar, where many kings of importance

The Ancient Love Story…Chapter 4

The Ancient Love Story…Chapter 4 Udai cleared his throat breaking the silence.  “Don’t be scared. This is your room too now,” trying to relax his new wife. “I guess you are tired. You should sleep, you will feel better in the morning.” he assured her.  Jeevant seemed to relax a bit at that and released the clutched bed sheet. After a few seconds of silence, she looked up at him and smiled brightly. Udai was taken aback as those big black eyes twinkled when she smiled.  She had beautiful and attractive feature in her eyes. Her eyeballs held the universe with big and black long eyes lashes. They could draw anyone in different world, away from everyone and everything. “Why are you staring at me like that?” she asked in soft eyes. Udai came back to his senses and realized he was staring at her. “No…Nothing,” he stuttered. “Can I sleep here?” she asked sweetly and batted her long eyelashes. No one had a heart to deny the sweet request, at least Udai’s heart lacked it. “Sure. It
