Again taken from "Leaving Home" - the documentary on indian musical band "Indian Ocean"

तलाश...

This poem has been taken from a scene in "Leaving Home", the documentary on the indian musical band "Indian Ocean". The way Asheem quoted this, it just touched me.

यूँ निकल पड़ा हूँ सफ़र पे मैं, मुझे मंजिलों की तलाश है

नए रास्ते नए आसमां, नए हौसलों की तलाश है

जहाँ बंदिशों की हो हद खत्म, उस हसीं शहर की तलाश है

जहाँ रंग-ओ-खुशबू का हो मिलन, मुझे उस उफक की तलाश है

मुझे मंजिलों की फिकर नहीं, मुझे रास्तों से प्यार है

जो मेरे साथ साथ चल सके, उस हमसफ़र की तलाश है...

Thought of the day...

When things go wrong as they sometimes will;
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill;
When the funds are low, and the debts are high;
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh;
When care is pressing you down a bit
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.

Success is failure turned inside out;
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt;
And you can never tell how close you are;
It may be near when it seems afar.
So, stick to the fight when you're hardest hit -
It's when things go wrong that you mustn't quit.

Thought of the day...

 "Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind. People grow old only by deserting their ideals and by outgrowing the consciousness of youth. Years wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul... You are as old as your doubt, your fear, your despair. The way to keep young is to keep your faith young. Keep your self-confidence young. Keep your hope young." - Dr. L.F. Phelan

Thought of the day...

"Life’s not about expecting, hoping and wishing, it's about doing, being and becoming. It's about the choices you've just made, and the ones you're about to make, it's about the things you choose to say - today. It's about what you're going to do after you finish reading this." ---Mike Dooley

Thought of the day...

"लहरों से डरकर नौका पार नहीं होती,
कोशिश करने वालों की कभी हार नहीं होती.
असफलता एक चुनौती है स्वीकार करो,
क्या कमी रह गयी देखो और सुधार करो.
जब तक न सफल हो नींद चैन को त्यागो तुम,
संघर्षों का मैदान छोड़ मत भागो तुम,
कुछ किये बिना ही जय-जयकार नहीं होती...
कोशिश करने वालों की कभी भी हार नहीं होती!"

-हरिवंश राय बच्चन
