दूर गांव ⛪

ऊँचा रास्ता , छूटा गाँव |  

                        बना पुल और टूटी नांव | 

भागी गाड़ी , बूढ़ा बैल | 

                        चलता था जो नंगे पैर || 

पके बाल और मोटी नानी | सादी धोती , आँखों में पानी || 

छत पर मोर और टूटे पंख | भूरी मौरंग और ढूंढे शंख ||

खुला आँगन , चौड़ी दीवार | ३६ आले और छोटा किवाड़ || 

बीच में चूल्हा , चूल्हे में रोटी | बगल में सिलवट्टा , चटनी घोटी || 

सुबह की चाय , रात में दूध | अटरिया में बिस्तर , जगाए खुद धूप || 

ज़ेब में कंचे , ताश का खेल | मिट्टी के चक्के , धागे की रेल || 

नीम का पेड़ , निबौरी की दवा | धूप भर खेले , लू की हवा || 

ऊँची सीढ़ी , कुप्पी का धुआं | मामा की दुकान और गहरा कुंआ || 

बनी सड़क और टूटा गाँव |  

                        घनी धूप और छूटी छांव | 

आगे शहर और पीछे गाँव | 

                        बूढ़ा गाँव और टूटी नांव ||

👀 बचपन 🎈

 

ये बचपन भी कितना हसीन होता है ,

                        जागे सपनों के संग और रंगीन होता है |

पैर टिकते नहीं है ज़मी पर और ,

                       दिल ऊँचा उड़ने का शौक़ीन होता है || 

 

छोटा भोंपू लिए घर के अंदर ,

        देखो चक्कर लगाए बच्चा दिनभर | 

खुद भागे और सबको भगाये ,

        पिद्दी सा, किसी के हाथ ना आये | 

थक खुद कोने किसी सोता है ,

        ये बचपन भी कितना हसीं होता है || 

            

अपनी भाषा में कुछ तो वो बोले ,

                    ऐसे देखे जैसे सारे राज़ खोले,

बड़ी आँखों से दिल में तू झांके ,

                    खुद खुदा जैसे मुझे आज आंके | 

गले लगकर खुशी मन ये रोता है ,

                    ये बचपन भी बड़ा हसीन होता है ||

!! पुराना मौहल्ला !!

                                              

पुराना है मौहल्ला , और हलकी सी शाम है | 

सीसामऊ है नाम , और नाम बदनाम है || 

आधे में खाट , और आधे में दूकान है | 

संकरी है सड़क , और गाड़ियां भी तमाम है || 

गलियों का जाल , और गालियों की गूँज है | 

मुँह में मसाला , और दीवारें लाल थूक हैं || 

उलझे हैं तार , और बिजली फिर फरार है | 

हर घर की खिड़की से निकला , एक कटिया वाला तार है || 

नाली है गहरी, और थैलियों से जाम है | 

उसमे पड़ी एक गेंद, निकाले रुपया इनाम है || 

लौंडे छत पर चढ़े , पतंग खींचते हैं | 

बाकी बचे जो छोटे , लंगड़ लिए खड़े है || 

तोतों के झुंड घर को , उड़ते ही जा रहे हैं | 

कुछ थक रहे हैं थोड़ा, नीमों में आ रहे हैं || 

मंदिरों की घंटियाँ , और मस्जिद की नमाज़ है | 

रात हो रही है , और मम्मी ने दी आवाज़ है || 

पानी चला गया है , मोटर अभी भी ऑन है | 

छत को भी पिलाया पानी , गरमी से अब आराम है || 

ढ़ाल से वो आती , स्कूटर की जो आवाज़ है | 

भाग कर हम जाते , पापा की वो जो आस है || 

साथ मिलकर खाते , के बी सी देखते हैं | 

अब नींद आ रही है , जी हम लेटते है || 

आँख बंद कर के , फिर मौहल्ला देखते हैं | 

सड़क देखते हैं , वो गली देखते हैं | 

घर को देखते हैं , और खुद को देखते हैं | 

खुद को देखते हैं , और खुश देखते हैं ||

Aashiq Traveler ... Jinda Tha Main !!

OMG.. Hindi Poetry!! ..Surely not mya Cup of Tea :P 
Please Switch ON your Aashiqui mode first!!

====

Chand se Suraj tak,
Pathar ki Murat sa .....
Tere aane ki aahat se, Jaane ki Surat tak
Jinda Tha Main!!

Teri meethi si Kashish me,
Bheegi si Mahak sa .....
Sardi ki Garmi se, Sawan ki Bundoo tak
Jinda Tha Main!!

Teri Nazaro ki Aadaon se,
Julfon ki Fizao sa .....
Saaso ki herkat se, Dharkan ki halchal tak
Jinda Tha Main!!

Haan... Jinda Tha Main!! 
Per... Bewajah aur kab talak !!

Yaadon me Shikwa karogi,
Karogi tum Afsosh sa....
Ki... Jinda Tha Main!!
Jinda tha main!! bus tujhe Na kehne ka Guroor tha!!

Antimm Pantiyaan... 

Chale Gaye hum tujhe tere haal per chod ker jab!
Kadar Kya hoti hai tujhe waqt ne sikha diya hoga abb!!

PS - Nothing Personal !! Just Ainwe-hi !! ;)

Crazy for Happiness

I don't want to become famous. Neither I dream about the '21 bedrooms+pool+lawn' bungalow, nor love the golden coins sound-flow. I don't want to proof anything ... though just want to share something.

Hi.. I am Nitish Katiyar, a Bachelor not by choice! , an Engineer by mistake! , Confused by complex life! However insane but pure-hearted Youth! 

I am not professional writer as my vocab is limited and grammar sucks. I don't participate ever as I treat blogging very much personal. However I put my pen down whenever I feel to write and tonight at 4 AM, I am getting that crazy feels again.

After completion of Bachelors in Engineering during the worst recession span in 2009, I was jobless for almost 8 Months. I had finally started with a small 'SMS Bulk selling firm' on monthly gross of 4K. I worked only 18 days there and left the organization because my brother was relocated to Gurgaon. Company person consoled me that I will get my calculated salary on 1st of next month only. I acted accordingly and reached the office on 1st morning.

And I still remember that one way communication:

Company person "Take this 1000 bucks for all and leave the place."

I resisted "Sir, total amount should be Rs.2200."

And then the final verdict "Agree with 1000 bucks else you will lose even this."

It was my first ever salary and I got to face the other side of the world as well. However I was in rage but majorly was in need. I accepted that one thousand rupee note and left the office.

While waiting for the bus to home, all the past hour events were processing in my mind. Suddenly a small 6-7 years old child came to me and asked for the money. Poor small beggar!!

He requested me again and again "Only 5 Rs ... Please."

I asked "What will you do with 5 bucks?"

He replied "Will have some food."

I looked around and told him "Let' go and have whatever you want to eat."

But also conditioned “Eat to you full limit however you will not beg at least for the day."

He agreed and we visited almost 3-4 food-stalls from Paratha Roll to Bhelpuri followed by Chowmein and Chaat. I also parcelled the food for his mom on his additional demands. I spend quarter of my 1000Rs balance on him that day.

I can see the happiness on his face and same was reflecting on my face too.

It was not because of the help which I have offered. 

It was because of the reason. That day I realized, my struggle is not the biggest struggle. I was learning life lessons from that small kid who was worried about his mom even on that phase. We both worked for each-other at that moment and we both were happy now.

I purchased toys and games for my nephew and niece from the remaining balance and took the bus to the home. I was happy and I made someone Happy.

I had gone through with two different side of the practical world within an hour.

And I perceived one great learning that day:

"Happiness is ... just an Inside Job!"

Be Happy!! Be Crazzyyy!!

Lets Get Lost!!

Hey All !!

30+ Days in Jakarta n of-course Nights too ;) !!

While rewinding the last month backup mind-tape.....I was in doubt to get the best fraction of it.

From the very first day visit of Indonesian Disc [X-2] to last week Cocktail Movie @Grand Indonesia Mall.... 

It was huge to sync ... The Bellezza Beauty, Contrywood Chasteness, Kristal Pools, Taman-Safari n Punchuk Moments, Anyer Beaches, The Krakatoa Volcano, The Malio-Boro, office-site PIM, Hampton heights, Ancol Sea-World and Atlantica Water-Park along-with the huge all-time traffic (Machad) and daily greetings like Thank You (teri-ma-ka-sih) and good Morning (selamat pagi).

I have enjoyed almost all the palaces and instances at extreme... yet but I was little thinking...and kept on thinking......
Which one was the best??
Of-course you can't compare a Night-Disc with Sea-World Oceanarium or any Beach with a Volcano site!!
As at every place, we had seen what we had come here to see.
Though I was in dilemma as I am a traveler and not a tourist and "Traveler sees what he sees!! " 
What does it mean?? 

Travelers have any third eye :P????...or.... the Tourist usually be out of vision???????

I really failed to get the any difference.... I was confused and not agree with Mr. G. K. Chesterton at all.

I was not agreed till my voyage to Krakatoa Volcano.

5 hours Bus Journey to Anyer Beach followed by 2 Hours on Boat and then 1 KM trekking.. :|

Wo wo!!....Its damn easy to read rather than act !!:P 

On Top n Lost !!

But.....Yes ... The Krakatoa!!...It was the best one !! 

Why?? Why In all ..this one was the best.... ??


Do I was surrounded by the beauty babes??......No :(
Do I was roaming with my best of my buddies??.....No  :|
Do I was on free trip as a winner of a lucky draw??....No  :P
Do I get my Dream Girl here to whom I was looking for??.....No ;(
But Yes... I got the vision... I saw what only I saw ... :)


Feelings and moments were expression less.... Its gives you a joy that only you can understand.

Only Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay, They had felt that pleasure of very first mount Everest ride.

Yes...I was lost...I was lost in a vision to get the top and take a view of the best-known Krakatoa, culminated in a series of massive explosions on August 26–27, 1883, which was among the most violent volcanic events in modern and recorded history. It was a volcanic island made of lava in the Sunda Strait between the islands of Java and Sumatra in Indonesia.

Volcano - Sulpher

It was a isolated Island and I was feeling so disconnected from the world like No Signals, No Social life, No Digital life, No boom of the city..... Only water, sand, rocks, island trees and greens!! 

On the top, there was connected Volcano summit open, vast and smokey. It was all around the white color Sulfuric ash, with white smoke..... It was a panoramic view..Hills and Sea all around...It was just awesome.. and I was amazed and lost.

Un-bounded!!

This was not the end, and there was one more attraction for the day... Snorkeling!!


The Glasses and Jaw-fixed mouth pipe, that all I got and jumped into the sea-salty-water. It was my first time and I was like floating in the territories of the fishes - all color and all size, along with the sea-plants moving dramatically in the water...so smooth and so silky.... I was the guest for them and they all were entertaining me....with their different kind of moves.


I was lost again....wowwwww !!


Hey all..this is not the end...It's a start ...Pack ur bags....and Go >>>>
You don't need to choose any specific country or destination ...just go where ur fuel limit allows you :P
This is the time....make a balance between work and life.... njoy with your family... plan such small trips... n see the difference... personally, practically and professionally.


Go Man....Go....Lets Get Lost !! :)
