Mere Jeevan ki Naiyaa...

Bhagwaan jee, aisa mere saath kyo decide kiya? Maine peechle 1 mahine se aapse kuch nahi maanga, maine socha uske birthday pe mehnga gift kharidne ke liye paise maang lunga. Nahi dene the to theek hai, lekin meri waat kyo lagaayi?



Oh this is so bad. I had so many things planned for her birthday. Oh yes I had. Okay if not so many than at least two. Gift and Dinner. Sacchi mucchi. I was feeling happy and excited. But the planets you see. They just cant see good things happening to VVS laxman and me. Laxman bhai went to south africa with all band baaja and got first a ball duck and just before we could have a gala time on her birthday cheeku went out of bombay for a training.



Dil ke armaan aasuon main beh gaye,

aur hum yaha guldasta pakde reh gaye.



And as if judaai ka gum wasn't enough, I have my end-terms starting the day she would be back. Garibi main aata geela.



And if even that was not enough, my life between her leaving and coming back is miserable. The mornings no longer start with a melodious scold, a sweet hit of the pillow, a tug of war of the blanket and my finger in the hot tea. I now wakeup to two miserably ringing alarms or a baai ringing the door bell or I dont wake up at all. I somehow manage to get in and out of bathroom in time, but my habit of forgetting the essentials outside is leading me to a lot of embarrassment especially with the maid around. (I wonder i should start keeping a pile of newspaper in the bathroom.) And then I... Hai Ram, Mujhe sharam aati hai.



I make it to the insti only 15 mins late. Life has moved from ghar ki chai to ek cutting on the tea stall, from garam garam jaykedaar ready khana to sabji laana, cook ko bulaana, aaye to theek nahi to hotel main niptanaa, from home sweet home to a something thats looks similar to a hostel room (I hope cheeku is not reading), from an excuse to rush home to majboori of going home..... life has taken a U turn and I feel I am driving wrong side. All in all I am waiting. Waiting for her to be back and bring my life on the right track.



O mere jeevan ki naiyaa beech bhanwar main gud-gud gote khaaye

jhatpat paar laga de, o cheeku paar laga de....
