Funny Hindi Shayari

Found this on various sites on the net ....




Usne mehndi laga rakhi thi
Humne uski doli utha rakhi thi
Hum ko maloom tha ke woh bewafa niklegi
Issi liye humne pehle se uski behan pata ke rakhi thi!!

Meri jindagi ek jua banke reh gayi
Maine jise pyaar kiya
Woh mere baccho ki bua banke reh gayi

Gum ho gayi make-up mein
Asli ki pehchan
Upar se Taj Mahal
Andar se kabristaan!!

Dil ke armaan aasu me beh gaye
Ye aashique ka dard tha
Jo baat unse kehni thi
Light chali gayi aur unki mummy se keh gaye!!

Vo aaj bhi hume dekh kar muskurate hain
Vo aaj bhi hume dekh kar muskurate hain
Yeh to unke bachche hi kamine hain
Jo Mama Mama kehke bulaate hain

Kadam kadam pe hawa ki aahat ka dhyan rakhna,
Mushkil samay mein bhi iss dost ko yaad rakhna,
Hamari yaadon ki khushboo zaroor aayegi,
Tum bus apni naak saaf rakhna!!

Teri yaad mein humne kalam uthaayi
Liya paper aur tasveer aapki banayi
Socha tha ki usko dil se laga kar rakhenge
Magar vo to bacho ko daraane ke kaam aayi...

What’s the occasion?




I have a habit of periodically buying sweets/chocolates in bulk, and distributing them to colleagues and friends in my office. I do this most of the time for no rhyme or reason whatsoever.

I send a “Sweets at my desk” e-mail to inform people of the availability of the same.
What happens most of the time is that people read the mail, rush over, take a sweet and then ask – “What’s the occasion? Why are you distributing sweets?”

They expect some “logical” answer – e.g. buying something new, some achievement, some good news, or if nothing else, a birthday!!

I often wonder why we adults always try to look for a “logical” reason all the time. Have you ever given a sweet to a child? The child takes it without asking you the reason, eats it up as fast as he/she can, and then brings his hand forward and asks “Do you have some more?” He does not think of the reason why the sweet was purchased – just the pure enjoyment of eating it is the goal!!

It is sad that as we grow up, we lose the quality of living in the moment. Our worldly wisdom comes in the way of enjoying something wholeheartedly. The flight of a butterfly, warm sun rays in winter, the shimmering moonlight bouncing off the surface of a lake, the sound of the ocean, a babbling brook, a sunset or sunrise, the first rain showers of the season …
If nature stopped and thought “Why should these things happen? What’s the occasion?” Then we might not have any of these at all. Thank God that Nature does not wait for any ceremonial reason to do things!!


So next time someone asks me “What’s the occasion?”, I might reply “Life”. That is a great reason to celebrate, isn’t it?
