अब अपने ही घर मे हम
मेहमान बन के आते है

गलियों मे जहाँ हमने
गुज़ारा था अपना बचपन
उन्ही मे गुज़रते हुए
यादों मे खो जाते है

करते हुए विदा अपनो को
होठों से मुस्कुराते हुए
गीली आँखों के किनारे
साथ लिए जाते है.

अब अपने ही घर मे हम
मेहमान बन के आते है
जाते जाते घर भी
बिखरा छोड़ जाते है.

Long back, I heard a story about a  farmer.

“There was a farmer with big farm in a village. Having no other means of irrigation, his farming was solely dependent on rain.  He was able to take crops only during rainy season then no crops rest of the year.  He wanted to have water in the farm throughout the year, so he can get more crop and earn his lively hood.

Once a wise man advised the farmer to dig a well in then farm. Taking more details from wise man, farmer get to know that water would be available after digging 100 feet.   Excited farmer started digging at one place.  After digging 10 feet digging become difficult, So he started digging at another place.  And again after digging 10 feet, he started digging at new place.  After digging at 10 places, he calculated that total digging is 100 feet so now he should get the water.  But none of the digs had water. “

This story may sound funny to most of us. But in reality, sometimes we also acts like this farmer.  Especially when it comes to the relationship, we mostly act like farmer.
