Finally, the Final Year

Reached JUIT just an hour ago. First thing which caught my attention is the lovely weather of July. Clouds everywhere, I almost forgot about it at home, that I'll be greeted by such a lovely weather. 

I also felt the 'senior' feeling for the first time truly now that we are the senior most people here. The power, the responsibility, the no-fear - almost everything related to being a senior came to my mind. 

Upon reaching the campus, I saw senior hostels where my favourite seniors and friends- Utkarsh Sir, Arun Sir, Gautam Sir, Rajan Sir- had their rooms. I suddenly remembered that this year'll be without them. Now there'll be no hanging out at Utkarsh Sir's room every night. Now there'll be nobody to guide me. And many other things which won't be there this time. 

Anyways.

Looking forward for an exciting semester. 

aadii uvaach

bade bekhabar bane baithe hain wo

aur bhule ja rahe hain humein is kadar

jaise bhul jaata hai koi purane zamaano ko

lekin puraane zamaane bhi kabhi kabhaar yaad aa hi jaate hain

aur ye bhi yaad aata hai ki kitne haseen thhey wo

kitne meethe aur kitne namkeen thhey wo

kehta hai 'aditya' pate ki baat suno

ek din aisa bhi aayega jab tu hi kahega

ki kya din thhey wo

ki kya tum thhey wo

ki kya hum thhey wo

रूठा हूँ मैं ?

इधर भागे कभी उधर भागे
ये हवा न जाने किधर भागे
गीली है
भीनी भीनी भी
महकी सी
झीनी झीनी भी
यादें लाये, यादें ले जाए
ये हवा न जाने क्या क्या दे जाए

चली होगी क्या ये तुम्हारे पास से
साथ नहीं तुम क्या तुमने भी छुआ होगा इसे हाथ से
कई रात से
एक बात से
और मुलाकात से
चूका हूँ मैं
इस हवा को कैसे पता की तुमसे रूठा हूँ मैं ?

chalta rahunga main

ye anjana sa shehar

ye anjani si dagar

dil mein bhare huye hain armaan

chhoti chhoti khushiyaan

aur thode aansu bhi

chal to raha hoon main

manzil se bekhabar

raasta guzarata huaa

aankhon mein utarta huua

thehre paani si nahin hai ye zindagi

nadiya ki dhaara sa main

padaav dekhe hain kaii

kahin rukha bhii

lekin safar thama nahin

andheron ke paar

roshniyaan hazaar

bas unki awaaz sun

chalta rahunga main

chalta rahunga main
