cupid's arrow strikes again....

Indian students have always a good resistance against cupid. But with the beginning of this new century our defense has gone some what week. Teenagers are more prone to cupid's arrow. Although the arrows are always blocked by a thick and strong wall of shyness, self-respect, arrogance , parent's instructions and some healthy dreams. Still colleges and schools are gradually turning into dating spots . Facebook and orkut are providing a good virtual platform from this. Soon we will have virtual marriages and virtual children.

" Couples and couples are everywhere but true couples are very rare". With the shortening of family, students are seeking for a good mental support if they have no evil intention. Some use it as a status symbol and brand value. It is one of the most costly maintained status symbol though. Anyways all of us need a good time pass. After all we can't do study or watch idiotic serials on TV the whole day. Teenagers are always confused between opposite sex attraction and love. Love is just like the term infinity. It can be never defined but it exists and is of imperative nature in life's calculation.

Most of the people face the same difficulty, like buying a new mobile which was attracting you from many months. But when it is in our hands it doesn't look like anything special. The newer models started attracting us and we started comparing it with other ones and find our one inferior. The youth always lacks a proper commitment as they never know how to balance and manage their new relationship. Ultimately the relation collapses, giving some wounds that can never be healed and some good experiences.We emerge out much more matured and stronger after any such events. Real love at virtual platform are creating real tears in eyes.People loves at facebook , fights at facebook, departs at facebook again patches up at facebook and finally say ALVIDA at facebook.

We all have to keep on moving in life. New school , coaching or workplace.Even adding someone from facebook or orkut. Cupid is always waiting to shoot our delicate delicate organs by his arrows. New crush at every new place crushes our determination and concentration. But it is always inevitable ( as long as you are normal), side effects are optional though. But the thick layer of self respect and shyness hinders the nourishment of any new relation. The main villains are our friends and company who are always seeking the chances to pair our name with any one else. No offense to them as we do the same. These friends are always spying on us and we helplessly can't do anything. First they never leave us alone and our beloved one is also never alone. How to initiate we never know ?

Time flies with high speed. Either they are already booked giving a boost to our envy or just sharing of some glance to each other. Going with determination daily to find some ways of initiating talk but come back with empty hands and frustrated mind. Cupid is just like our politicians. He initiates but never propagates any thing.He left us in this ambiguous position. Soon our crush departs from us and we can just forget them nothing else. A poem i have written on this and the only remark till now I got is "bakwaas" or trash. But still it describes what I want to convey.......


पहली बार मिलन नजरो का
आरंभ तभी आपसी नखरो का
पल भर मे ही फ़ेर ली निगाहें
पर दोनो का दिल कुछ और ही चाहे
हुई शुरु फ़िर एक अनकही अजीब दास्तां
न कोई मंजिल बस एक हसीन रास्ता
कभी हमारी नजरे उनसे बतियाने की करती कोशिश
दिल और दिमाग में रहती हमेशा एक रंजिश
कुदरत की भी अजीब ही थी साजिश
हर अदा मे उनकी थी एक कशिश
इस खामोशी में था एक अजीब कोलाहल
बड़े रंगीन बड़े मदहोश थे वे पल
दूसरी ओर भी फ़िजा का यही था रुख
उनकी तिरछी नजरे , फ़िर लजाया हुआ गुलाबी मुख
उनके खामोश होंठ पर बोलते हुए नैना
शांत मुख मन बावरा अजब अनोखी रैना
जल रही उधर भी प्रेम की अग्नि पावन
समा बैचेन बेकरार पर था मन भावन
रही खामोश ये दो दिलो की बोलती दास्ता
दिल का न रहा कभी जबा से वास्ता
हुआ नही दोनो तरफ़ से इजहार
पहले आप पहले आप, लज्जा भयवश दोनो लाचार
इसी कशमकश मे वक्त गया बीत
रह गये तन्हा मिला न मीत
गुम हो गयी यह बेनाम बेजुबा कहानी
आये जब याद लगे सुहानी
