Seven years since I set SAIL
There are some moments that sink in our minds through the chinks of time. Some words, some lessons that make way through the labyrinths of our sub-conscious, and lie embedded deep somewhere. It is only when we are shaken from our day-to-day reveries, by a long-forgotten fragrance...or a nostalgic song...or a blurred sense of déjà-vu that we get to sneak a peek into our own minds. One such occasion for me was visiting the steel plants of Bokaro and Durgapur, years after I first saw them.

ReplyDeleteतुम तो दिल लगा के चले गए, तुमसे तो बस यही है गिला,

राधा ने कृष्ण के लिए कोई कसौटियां नहीं बनाई थी,
आत्मा की आवाज पर ही वो उनका हो गई थी ।
इसलिए प्यार को कसौटियों पर कसोगी, तो प्रेम की नाजुक डोर चटक जाएगी,
और वह यदि एक बार चटक गई तो, फिर से जुड़ नहीं पाएगी ।
