the Dichotomy of Life

I got 2 news this week..one happy and one sad..one life had taken it first steps in this world and another had left without even a notice...the joy of the birth of a friend's child had dimmed with the death of another close friend..after all how old was she??it seemed just like yesterday when we first met at out training in 2003..she was so full of life and enthusiasm..she never showed her sorrow at being away from her family and specially her little son..she had so much hope for the future..and in one blow all that was over...one fatal accident changed all that completely...

While one was leaving, another life slowly arrived into this world and filled the lives of all around with happiness and joy..chetan was so overwhelmed by her arrival..you can see tears of happiness in his eyes in the pictures..she is their bundle of joy..

this,my friend is the dichotomy of life..with sadness on one side and joy on the other..both are a part of life..you have to experience and go through both....both unavoidable..and you live on with courage to face sorrows and hoping for a better future...


May God give strength to both..tripti's family to overcome the sorrow and to Chetan to give his daughter a good upbringing and great values...

KOSHISH KARNE WALON KI HAR NAHIN HOTI

Lehron se Darkar nauka par nahin hoti,
koshish karne walon ki haar nahin hoti

Nanhi cheenti jab daana lekar chalti hai,
chadhti deewaron par, sau bar phisalti hai.
Man ka vishwas ragon mein saahas bharta hai,
chadhkar girna, girkar chadhna, na akharta hai.
Akhir uski mehnat bekar nahin hoti,
koshish karne walon ki haar nahin hoti.

Dubkiyan sindhu mein gotakhor lagata hai,
ja ja kar khali haath lautkar aata hai
Milte nahi sahaj hi moti gehre paani mein,
badhta dugna utsah isi hairani mein.
Muthi uski khali har bar nahin hoti,
koshish karne walon ki haar nahi hoti.

Asaflta ek chunauti hai, ise sweekar karo,
kya kami reh gayi, dekho aur sudhar karo.

Jab tak na safal ho, neend chain ko tyago tum,
Sangharsh ka maidan chhodkar mat bhago tum.
Kuch kiye bina hi jai jaikar nahin hoti,
koshish karne walon ki haar nahin hoti.

me, myself..param

Ok so this is my first time with blogging..i start with myself(oh so self obsessive that we all are sometimes!!)..i m a wife, a mom of a sweet 10 month old son(simar)..he is the centre of our world..and a HR person(it is all about people and management)..my favourite pastime is playing with my son...he acts like a stress buster to me..when i m home after a long day at office, a look at him refreshes me completely..he makes such beautiful expressions on his sweet face i forget myself and my tensions..the way he explores his surroundings reminds me that life is about enjoying the simpler pleasures..life is so innocent at his age..oh i could go on and on about simar..I just love him..
