Khayal: not just a thought

Khayal se khayal tak ka safar
Kuch mahino me tay ho gaya
Shuruwat tumhare khayal se hui
Fir khayal tumhara rakha
Aur ab tum khayal ban kar reh gaye
Khayal se khayal tak ka safar
Kuch yun raha….

— Janhavi

I wrote this poem in 2024 and it is one of the very ‘close to heart’ lines. These lines took shape at a very difficult time and with lots of emotions thundering in my heart. But now when I look back I find a renewed meaning to it. 

In every walk of life and and every relation we have , is everything permanent? No right?

This has been taught in bhagwat geeta, passed on from one generation to another but do we learn from these. Nope !! Nada!!!

We meet someone, they become the part of our lives and it’s as if we never lived without them. Everything changes our daily routine our talks our eating habits etc etc. We even find extra time to be with them. But the day this person is about to walk out we shatter like a piece of glass. We don’t know how to live without them anymore or what we did when they weren’t there.

Damn!!!! Think about your favourite mug…imagine u really fell in love with it. And one day it slips through your fingers…ooooops….now what????

How much ever someone tells us not to get attached , we do, to things, people our pets. Then what ??? Heartbreak and then distant memories. Now that 2025 is knocking at our doors let’s think and rethink of getting attached. Instead what I am going to try is live laugh love and enjoy now…kal ki kal dekhenge. Shayad fir se jeena seekhenge.

To khayal se khayal tak ka safar ab
Khul ke tay karenge…
