Experiencing a fresh start with relocation

Sometimes the events in our life can take us to a low and we begin to lose hope as all doors seem to be closed.Relocation can be a new door that can help us find a path that leads us out of our difficult situations .I faced this situation when I met with at accident while I was playing for the inter office woman football tournament. I being a sports person has faced many a tough situations . My life revolved around sports right from an early age and by the time I was in college I had been playing in a number of sports. I was an active person and felt that women's hockey was my calling. Even though for men cricket has all the money and fame. Where as when it comes to women’s sports practically all the games are equal. At best they help you get a job. Something similar happened to me .Passing out of college I found that being an active sportsperson helped me get a decent job in a company. Even during the interview the interview board had mentioned that I would be required to play for the women’s hockey office team. Initially all was well and our team won quite a few matches and tournaments. Then while returning from a tournament I fell from a moving train and faced multiple fractures in my left leg. I was in a lot of pain and when the doctors said that they would have to insert metal rods in my leg and I may not be able to play professionally.This statement brought me a lot of agony. When this news spread in my office .It generated a lot of gossip. Even though I had been a hard working employee , a section of the management felt that since my professional career as a hockey player had ended so the company should show me the door. When the news of such negative clamor reached me I started feeling very depressed. I wanted to earn an honest wage and the fact that some people thought that I was living on company’s charity made me feel very bitter. When my boss visited me I offered him my resignation as I did not want to accept charity. My boss was a compassionate person and said that you are an asset for the company and if you find you cannot handle the situation then I can get you transferred to another branch in another city once you are fit enough to join the office. It was a big decision as my parents would not let me i.e their only daughter go and stay alone in a new city. However I was determined to #StartANewLife so I opted to relocate to a new city and start life afresh. I relocated to another city and worked hard in my job as I did not want to give anybody the chance of saying that what I am earning is not my salary but charity. Luckily all my hard work jot noticed and appreciated. Here in this new office I have got several promotions. As playing hockey professionally would have put a lot of strain on my leg. I started playing Table Tennis and represent my office in the interoffice tournament.
Looking back I feel that relocating to a new city was a bold move that has helped me get ahead and make a fresh start in my life.

The lesson of togerherness

I was fairly good in my studies. I could pass my exams without much effort. This statement would be true but for the dreaded subject of maths.However hard I tried I could not remember the formulas. I even tried memorizing then but even this tactics failed. I could see all the numbers floating around in a jumble and this left me petrified. This was the case in class VIII it was a “must pass with good marks” situation for me as I wanted to take up science after class ten so I wanted to do well in all subjects. Without being good in math's there was no way I could have studied Science. I tried to work hard in math's but it was not a practical solution. My added hard work did not yield any results. Had it been another subject I could have made up for the low marks by getting good marks in other subjects. However this was not the case with math's. It was to be a full hundred marks paper so getting good marks in it was a must. Besides how can a person think of pursuing a career in the field of science without getting good marks in math's, as it is considered to be the foundation and integral part of the study of science.These thoughts occupied my find and I felt a lot of stress due to did.I could not study or focus on my school work.It was perhaps my drooping body language or my low spirits that made even my family very worried for me.Then one day the physics teacher of class eleven called me. She was both the best and the strictest  teacher of our school. She was such a strict teacher that students could not muster the courage of being inattentive in her class. Even the thought of going and speaking to her made them perspire with nervousness. My condition was no different I was very scared to go to her. I thought that maybe I have done something wrong for which she is going to scold and reprimand me. However when I went to her she looked at m and smiled. Perhaps it was the first time I had ever seen her smile.She lovingly asked me why I had been looking so gloomy for the last few days. I confessed to her about the problem that I was facing in the subject of maths. To which she said that since I was so good in science this meant that I had the analytical skills. If I applied them then I could get good marks in maths as well. In a choking voice I asked “But How Ma'am?” She said she would help me and so without any personal motive she started helping me in my studies. I found her to be a very warm person who was sharing her experience with me. This one to one sessions with her were very productive and I found her to be very encouraging and a very good mentor. She helped me to understand my fundamentals. She gave me a hope and optimism that in turn helped me conquer the monster called maths. Day by day my performance improved and I could get a firm grip on the subject. This time of being #together with her was very special it gave me hope and optimism for the future and also made me a better student. Even so many years after passing out of school I have fond memories of the time of togetherness that helped me overcome such a big hurdle in my life and giving me hope and optimism that still helps me face any situation in my life.

मेरी प्रतिमा किसी चोराहे पर ना लगाना

मेरी प्रतिमा किसी चोराहे पर ना लगाना

मेरी प्रतिमा किसी चोराहे पर ना लगाना
मेरे नाम पे किसी सडक का नाम ना रखना
कुछ करना है तो अपनी दिल की गली में
एक कमरा मेरा रखना

मेरे गीतों की तड़प

मेरे गीतों की तड़प
तुम तक ना पहुँच पाए
एसा ना हो की तुमसे  मिलने से पहले ही
कोई ज़लज़ला उठे और
साथ में तूफान लाए
लूफानों से में नहीं डड़ती
बस डर है कि
मेरा पैगाम गीला ना हो जाए

प्रेम के प्रलाप से

प्रेम के प्रलाप से भरा एक खत
हवा के झोंके के साथ
उड़ा जा रहा है
कोई पकड़ो उसे कि
किसके लिए है यह
मेरा पैगाम और
किसको देने जा रहा है

मेरी पहचान

मेरी पहचान
मेरी पहचान बस  इतनी है कि
वक़्त के उन गलियारों में
पाई जाती हूँ
जहाँ आपके लिए की गयी
हर दुआ रहती है
आप रहें सलामत और
चुस्त, तन्दरूस्त, और दुरूस्त
मेरी दुआ बस इतना कहती है
9c9) प्रेम के प्रलाप से भरा एक खत

शराब के पैमाने स

शराब के पैमाने स भारी
आँख मेरी  छलक ना जाए
में अब भी उस उमीद से पागल हूँ
की कोई ऐसी घड़ी आये कि
आपसे मुलाकात हो जाए
इस से पहले कि
गुज़रे वक़्त कि गहराईओं में
खो जाऊं
कोई एसा वक़्त आए कि
आप के दीदार हो जायें
