Regret

There were plenty of subtle clues that when I think about now, seemed to have given me many warnings. It was inevitable the way things were happening, that the end of the road would be anything but what it was. A complete and utter failure.

It was a simple job for some, yet it would have required some others a lifetime of effort to achieve what was achieved. It is a sheer myth that there exists an ability in a person that allows him to deal with any and all situations. Life is a complicated bag full of surprises and perplexing circumstances that are naturally out of every control.

The limitations of time and existence mean that you only have a single opportunity to make even the most important decisions of your life. Mistakes are bound to happen and such mistakes are what cause a lifetime of regret.

There was a time when my life was moving in the best way possible, a life with no regrets. Yet they did come and they arrived in various forms. A regret of the past about a thing that never happened for those actions had made sure a future that can no longer happen. Living with such regret makes every new decision you take in life all the more difficult.

Each new circumstance looks like it has something similar to that failed scenario which you had to endure. The lack of timely decision making just adds more items to that ever-increasing list of things you regret till it starts to overflow. You begin to deny opportunities for fear of failure or getting your heart broken if you get too attached to the results. The only way out of it is to stop regretting everything, a stage impossible to maintain and improbable to attain.

Pankhuri - A past to be remembered (Re-edited)

Iteefaq se hum mile the,    
Jaane kab pehchan hui …   
Kuch din thodi baatein ki,
Aur dosti ki shuruvat hui …

Naadan si aapki harkatein,
Aadat hamari bhi ban gayi …
Jaise badti rahi dosti apni,
Rishto ko bhi vo badal gayi …

Kam hamare alag alag the,
Phir bhi roz mulakat hoti …
Na jaane aap kab ruthe ki,
Din mein bhi tab raat hoti …

Jis din thoda has deti thi aap,
Shaam haase bhari ho jati thi …
Ghumne phirne ki aadat aapki,
Humme har kahin pahuchati thi …

Phir aaya alag hone ka mauka,
Vo pal jab bichchadne the hum …
Duriyan ab badne lagi hamari,
Kyu saath nahi rehne ko the hum …

Aate jate bas milte rehna aap,
Kabhi  bhi bhul na jaana humhe …
Yaad ab hamesha rahegi aapki,

Aapne jo itna sataya hai humhe …
