Hope never dies :)

hope

Things which you do not hope happen more frequently than things which you do hope.
~Titus Maccius Plautus

Friends,
in the most desperate hours of life, the thing that differentiates us from machines which face a gridlock is HOPE. The most underrated four letter word of all. It gives you the power to respond to calamities, it gives you the passion to live another day when people around you have all but given up on life….. and i can write pages about it.
Wrote one page today in the class, wanted to share it with all of you. And Neha, i know you will hate me for this but i just have to keep the english thing going coz it gives those who don undstnd the devanaagri lipi.. a chance to share my feelings :)

Ummeed

Fir ek or shaam dhal gai,
Roothi yadon ki bayaar fir chal gai,
shaam ki laalima raktim si lagi,
aashadeep ki jyoti ko, hawa chhal gai.

Kisse-Kisse se bani kahani meri,
Hisse-Hisse me banti rawaani meri,
saari ummeedon ka hua sanskaar antim,
lakeeron ka jungle bani peshaani meri.

Chaandni aankhon ko khatakne lagi,
preet ki door kachchi lagne lagi,
chaahat ke bhanwar me kuch yu uljhe,
satya ki door,haathon se fisalti lagi.

Kal fir ek chaand falak par hoga,
kal fir ankhon me nayee chandni hogi,
kal fir ek naye kisse ka aagaaz hoga,
kal fir aashadeep ki jyoti prajjwalit hogi.

    Manan, tune itne kathin shabdon ka prayog kiya hai… Ki jo devanaagri lipi nahi samajhte, wo yeh kavita bhi nahi samjhenge! ;)

    hope is surely the only differentiating thing, but thats where machine wins over humans …. thats where we humans get emotional we hope a miracle every time, but the fact remains it doesnt happen! Dreaming, hoping and working towards your goals and missions is perfectly reasonable but at some point in time, yu got to realise the fact that yu cant chase victory when in crude terms yu have lots(if in case thats the scene)!…thats where hopin n praying makes things worse…so beware!
