Dreams are like butterflies,
You've to chase them with passion.
Neither too hard, nor leaving it to chance,
With right mix of planning and enthusiasm.

    ..............and it is said chase the butterflies(dreams)as a child chases them, full of laughter, enthusiasm, sparkle in the eyes, untiringly and without getting bored. Lovely poem Saru.

      Sometimes we try too hard and loose perspective. For fresh ideas we have to be calm and enjoy the journey.

    Hi Saru, These are two lines of a poem I remember, I do not know by whom. "Try out those wings and head for your star, no matter how far it may seem, go for the finest and best that you are, and dream the most wonderful dream." Loved your words. Practical and magical at the same time.

फ़ुर्सत में मिलना मुझसे यूँ दो चार घंटे के लिए नहीं  सिर्फ़ हाल चाल नहीं पूछना बातें करनी है तुमसे कई देखना है तुम्हें एक टक शिकवे करने है तुमसे कई हज़ार जब नाराज़ हुए थे तुम मुझसे और जब छेड़ा था मुझे बीच बाज़ार चवन्नी-अठन्नी सा ढोंग मत करना मान लेना मेरे हर कहे को सुबकियाँ से काम मत चलाना बेहने देना ग़र आँसू बेहे तो  सख़्त होने का दिखावा छोड़ आना नुक्कड़ वाले बनिये की दुकान पे सिद्दत से एक बार बोल देना  कि गलती होती है इंसान से तुम मुझे छोड़ गए उसका तुम्हें कभी अफ़सोस हुआ है क्या मैं नहीं तुमसे पूछूँगी  कि मेरे बाद मेरी तरह किसी को छुआ है क्या  ना मैं इस युग की मीरा हूँ  ना हो तुम मेरे घनश्याम बस इश्क़ है तुमसे बेपन्नह मुझे बाक़ी सब कुछ है मुझमें आम  तुम भी सोचते होगे ना  यह तीली सा इश्क़, ज्वालामुखी कब हुआ यूँ समझ लो तुम्हारे जाने के बाद तुम्हारे ख़याल ने दिन में 100 बार मुझे छुआ अब गणित में तो तुम अव्वल हो हिसाब लगा ही लोगे पर सोच के आना जनाब  पिछले 15 सालों का हिसाब कैसे दोगे  तो आना बस फ़ुरसत में  यूँ दो चार घंटे के लिए नहीं  सिर्फ़ हाल चाल नहीं पूछना बातें करनी है तुमसे कई

मुझे तुम्हारी सादगी पसंद आई

  तुम किसी बड़े शहर की बड़ी इमारत और मैं नुक्कड़ वाली पान की दुकान तुम्हें महँगी चीज़े पसंद हैं और मेरे पास है चवन्नी-अठन्नी का सामान फिर भी तुम मुझे देखते हो कुछ तो बात होगी मुझमें और भी कई आशिक़ है मेरे  ज़्यादा इतराना मत ख़ुद पे बस ये दिल साला बीड़ी सा सुलगता है जो तुझे एक बार देख लूँ  समझ नहीं आता अपने छोटे बजट में क्या तोहफ़ा तुम्हें भेज दूँ 
 इश्क़ बहुतो को ले डूबा हैं अब मैं कैसे किनारा करूँ तुझसे जो नैन लगाये हैं दिल कहता है ये कांड मैं दोबारा करूँ 
 उँगलियों पे गिनती हूँ मैं घंटे फ़ोन पे लगाती हूँ अलार्म हाय, मैं रही मॉडर्न डे मीरा तुम किसन कन्हैया घनश्याम 
 आओ कभी हमारी गली दिन, तारीख़, मौसम मत देखना सरप्राइज सा देना मुझे आने की खबर भी ना भेजना 
 तुम जैसे अमीर से मुझ जैसे गरीब ने दिल लगाया है  जितना तुम्हारा दिन का खर्चा है  उतना मेरा पाँच महीने का किराया है  
 पर इश्क़ पैसा नहीं देखता ना देखता है औक़ात  मुझे तुम्हारी सादगी पसंद आई काश तुम्हें भी पसंद हो मेरी कोई बात

Music and I are in a relationship

Music is my 19-year-old boyfriend who picked me up from college and took me to a different restaurant every Saturday - and - tucked my hair behind my ear as I ate sizzler. Music is also the sauve man I dated who listened to my 5-year plan - feeding my soul and body with a penetrating stare and his to-die-for smile. Music is also the man who betrayed me and left me in the lurch - and - made me fall every time I tried to take a step forward. Music is love, lust and betrayal all rolled into one. I have lived more in the songs I have listened to than through the highs and lows of life. In the dead of winter last January, I missed my bus and had to wait for another bus for 40 minutes in -15 degrees celsius. I shivered in sub-zero weather. With anger seething in my body, warmth was given by Ed Sheeran's Beautiful People . I wondered was Ed was singing for me? Because I don't fit in this world. Because, at that time, I could definitely use some help. Perhaps a ride. Perhaps enough mo
