Kuch baatein hoti hain jo pehli baar sunne mein simple lagti hain. Almost obvious.
Jaise koi purani wisdom jo hum pehle se jaante hain.
“Har pal ek choice hota hai.”
Par jab zindagi thakaan se bhari ho,
jab expectations ka bojh ho,
jab comparison ne self-worth ko dheere dheere ghis diya ho,
tab yeh baat sirf quote nahi lagti.
Tab yeh baat thodi uncomfortable ho jaati hai.
Kyunki agar har pal ek choice hai, toh iska matlab yeh bhi hua ki hum sirf victim nahi hain.
Hum sirf circumstances ke haath mein nahi hain.
Aur yeh soch strong bhi hai, aur thodi scary bhi.
Zindagi Aksar Wahi Banti Hai Jo Hum Notice Nahi Karte
Hum sab apni life ke turning points ko yaad rakhte hain.
Job ka interview.
Breakup ka din.
Kisi ka chale jaana.
Kisi ka mil jaana.
Par sach yeh hai ki zindagi in moments mein nahi banti.
Zindagi banti hai un dino mein jo bilkul normal hote hain.
Jab kuch khaas nahi hota.
Jab hum bas chal rahe hote hain.
Ek office ka din jahan aap chup rehte ho jab bolna chahiye tha.
Ek shaam jab aap phone scroll karte ho instead of apne thoughts ko sunne ke.
Ek conversation jahan aap ego ko jeetne dete ho instead of rishton ko.
Yeh sab chhoti baatein lagti hain.
Par yahi chhoti baatein milkar badi kahani likhti hain.
Ek Thaka Hua Aadmi Aur Ek Simple Faisla
Rohit ek normal IT job karta hai. Koi extraordinary kahani nahi.
Roz subah metro, laptop, meetings, deadlines.
Shaam ko ghar aakar sirf ek hi feeling hoti thi. Exhaustion.
Ek din manager ne bina wajah uski mehnat ignore kar di.
Uska pehla instinct tha chup rehna.
“Chhod yaar, bolke kya fayda.”
Woh chup raha.
Agla din bhi chup raha.
Agla mahina bhi.
Teen saal baad jab woh job se nikalta hai, toh lagta hai jaise zindagi ne dhokha de diya.
Par sach thoda uncomfortable hota hai.
Zindagi ne nahi.
Uske chhote choices ne.
Har baar chup rehna ek choice thi.
Har baar self-respect ko side mein rakhna ek choice thi.
Thought Se Hi Future Ki Shuruaat Hoti Hai
Hum sochte hain future actions se banta hai.
Par future pehle thoughts mein banta hai.
Jo aap baar baar sochte ho, woh dheere dheere aapka default ban jaata hai.
“Aur log mujhse better hain.”
“Mujhse hoga nahi.”
“Mere saath hi aisa kyun hota hai.”
Yeh thoughts loud nahi hote.
Yeh quietly background mein chalte rehte hain.
Aur phir ek din aap notice karte ho ki aap try hi nahi kar rahe.
Risk lene se pehle hi give up kar dete ho.
Apni worth ko negotiate kar dete ho.
Aapka future kisi ek thought se nahi banta.
Aapka future un thoughts se banta hai jinhe aap challenge hi nahi karte.
Ek Ladki, Ek Mirror Aur Ek Roz Ka Dialogue
Neha har roz mirror ke saamne khadi hoti thi aur khud se kehti thi,
“Bas thoda weight kam ho jaaye.”
“Bas thoda confident ho jaaun.”
“Bas thoda aur successful ho jaaun.”
Yeh baatein usne kisi aur se nahi suni thi.
Yeh uska khud ka inner dialogue tha.
Saalon baad jab therapy mein baithi, tab realize hua ki problem weight ya confidence nahi thi.
Problem yeh thi ki usne kabhi khud ko enough maana tha hi nahi.
Har roz ka ek thought.
Har roz ka ek choice.
Khud ko accept karna ya khud ko delay karna.
Words Sirf Bolne Ke Liye Nahi Hote
Indian families mein hum words ko casually use karte hain.
“Tu kuch bhi theek se nahi karta.”
“Log kya kahenge.”
“Is age mein yeh sab.”
Kabhi lagta hai normal hai.
Par words sirf sound nahi hote.
Words memory ban jaate hain.
Hum apne parents ke shabd nahi bhoolte.
Hum apne partners ke tone nahi bhoolte.
Aur hum apni khud ki awaaz bhi nahi bhoolte.
Jo aap khud se bolte ho, wahi aapka emotional environment ban jaata hai.
Agar aap har roz khud ko weak, late, behind bol rahe ho, toh zindagi bhi aapko waise hi treat karegi.
Ek Maa Ka Gussa Aur Ek Bachche Ka Silence
Ek maa roz gusse mein apne bete ko daant ti thi.
“Tu nalayak hai.”
“Tu kuch nahi karega.”
Bachcha chup rehta tha.
Marks laata raha.
Bada hota raha.
25 saal ka hone ke baad bhi jab koi opportunity aati, woh peeche hat jaata.
Usse pata hi nahi tha kyun.
Words ne uski identity likh di thi.
Actions Woh Thoughts Hote Hain Jo Zinda Ho Gaye
Hum aksar kehte hain,
“Mann nahi karta.”
“Energy nahi hai.”
“Kal karenge.”
Par sach yeh hai ki action sirf discipline ka game nahi hai.
Action identity ka game hai.
Jo aap baar baar karte ho, aap wahi ban jaate ho.
Har roz thoda sa effort bhi ek choice hai.
Har roz avoid karna bhi ek choice hai.
Aur yeh dono ek jaise nahi hote.
Awareness Bina Judgement Ke
Sabse mushkil cheez hai awareness without guilt.
Bas notice karna.
Aaj maine gussa kyun kiya.
Aaj maine bolna kyun nahi chuna.
Aaj maine khud se jhoot kyun bola.
Awareness ka matlab self-blame nahi hota.
Awareness ka matlab hota hai power wapas lena.
Jab aap notice karte ho, tab choice possible hoti hai.
Positivity Ka Matlab Smile Nahi Hota
Indian social media ne positivity ko toxic bana diya hai.
“Hamesha khush raho.”
“Sab theek ho jaayega.”
Par real positivity ka matlab hota hai honest rehna.
Kabhi kabhi positive choice hoti hai ruk jaana.
Kabhi positive choice hoti hai no bolna.
Kabhi positive choice hoti hai help maangna.
Fake smile future nahi banati.
Honest choices banati hain.
Comparison Ek Slow Poison Hai
Comparison loud nahi hota.
Yeh dheere dheere self-trust ko khaata hai.
Instagram par kisi ka success dekhkar ek chhota sa thought aata hai,
“Mera kyun nahi.”
Agar har roz aap apni worth ko kisi aur ke timeline se naap rahe ho, toh aap apni journey hi kho dete ho.
Comparison bhi ek choice hai.
Focus bhi.
Har Normal Din Ek Turning Point Hai
Zindagi dramatic nahi hoti.
Zindagi repetitive hoti hai.
Aur wahi repetition destiny ban jaati hai.
Aaj aap kya sochte ho.
Aaj aap kaise bolte ho.
Aaj aap kya karte ho.
Yahi kal ki foundation hai.
Aakhri Sach
Aapko poori zindagi badalne ki zarurat nahi hai.
Bas iss pal ko thoda behtar choose karna hai.
Phir next pal.
Phir next.
Zindagi aise hi banti hai.
Shor mein nahi.
Silence mein.
