~*Hazaar Rahein Mud ke Dekhin*~

When I think of my past, there was brightness, joy and the lusciously brackish clammy heat; there was a smoothing breeze like there is nothing but that and there was sand that glimmered like diamonds beneath the sunny sky. There was smell of a person who was my friend, my philosopher and my guide...

But again after some time, there were deceits, perfidies, there was mar and derisions. There was bereavement in the name of existence and there was nothing called as life beyond that demise. There were no parts that were not aflame; no ounce of brains, body or spirit was at piece but all vanished in the encircling blaze of desire and distrust.

But did I ever try to see the real picture; was it jealousy or some sheer misunderstanding???
Misunderstandings are inevitable because language is many-layered, and that means that what we exactly say and what one mean to converse are generally, usually, perchance even for all time, are fairly different.

Was this misunderstanding hurting me only?? Or may be it is hurting him too??
But hurt or not hurt, misunderstanding and misapprehensions can blemish a rapport. And then our ego comes in pic and wouldn't let anyone take the initiative to fix the issues.

What is required to fix the issue??
Just a phone call or any other means of communiqué, just to explain…
A word or an action to save a bond that one would have esteemed to treasure all during ones lives.

Sometimes, no one appears accountable but at that time situations overtake and take the hold and one fails to recognize what went erroneous till two people, once so much in love, part their ways.

While thinking of this situation one song came to my mind. That song was from movie “Thodi si Bewafai”, where Gulzar penned the emotions of two separated people so beautifully.

Hazar rahein mud ke dekhin

Kahin se koi sada na aayi

Badi wafa se nibhayi tumne

Hamari thodi si bewafai

Jahan se tum mod mud gaye the

Ye mod ab hi wahin pade hain

Hum apne pairon mein jaane kitne

Bhanwar lapete hue khade hain

Badi wafa se nibhayi tumne

Hamari thodi si bewafai

Kahin kisi roz yun bhi hota

Hamari haalat tumhari hoti

Jo raat humein guzari marr ke

Vo raat tumne guzari hoti

Badi wafa se nibhayi tumne

Hamari thodi si bewafai

Tumhe ye zid thi ke hum bulate

Humein ye ummid vo pukarein

Hai naam hoton pe ab bhi lekin

Aawaz mein pad gayi dararein

Hazar rahein mud ke dekhin

Kahin se koi sada na aayi

Badi wafa se nibhayi tumne
Hamari thodi si bewafai

You can kiss your family and friends good-bye and put miles between you, but at the same time you carry them with you in your heart, your mind, your stomach, because you do not just live in a world but a world lives in you. Relationships are precious, preserve them.
