Here we go
Relationship (Hehehe) - jisko aaj kal ke launde isko setting bolte h .... (offo) setting chappri boys jinka har chauthi aur sundar ladki par crush / dil aata hai.... (Ouch) baap ka paisa aur kismat se mili shakal aur apne family se mili sanskar --- jaise ki kaise jhooth bolate Hain, kaise kisi se jhoothi promise karte hain aur kaise kisi ladki ke sath ek jhootha relationship banate hai use setting bolte hain;
Ummmm to aaj aur pichle bar ki trah hum baat karenge loyal relationship ke bare me bar bar isliye bol rha hun ki relationship h koi one ka table nhi ki ek bar me sab yaad hojye
Ji loyal (sacha wala loyal) jiske andar pinky promise ka matalab promise se bhi badhkar hota hai ..... Jiske andar Bandi char din ke baad kisi aur ladke ke sath flirt nhi karti .... Jiske andar koi ladka instagram par jake bobs aur vagene nhi mangata, jiske andar ladka koi adultpage par jake link do-link do comments nhi karta
( frustration aayegi ♂️ jhel lena)
Hatt kalyug nhi re Bhatjug aagya ab to ...... Akhir is Bhatjug me aaj kal relationship me sabko aana h mere chhote bhai ko aana hai aur bhi chauthi class ke bache ko bhi --- (uff) Linkin bhaiya kya karoge relationship me aakar .... (Nhi bhootni ke) kya karoge sath me 9th ka table yaad karoge ya naak aur Swarg me kya hota hai ya decide karoge ya phir ye karoge hum bade honge humari Shaadi hogi aur bache karenge aur unka naam ye_________________________Ek min ye to bade log bhi karte hai ♂️
Yuck, yr relationship agar sahi bande se kijaye to wo tumhari soch aur tumhari dressing sense dono sudharta hai aur galt bande se hua to Tumhe chirchira aur tumhe depression me daal dega aur use depression se bahar aate aate tumhara career khtam hojaye ga ☺️
Bhak , career/relationship katar Dushman hain ek dusre ke agar career pakistan h to relationship India ... Simply boleto career relationship ki Soutan hai .. agar life me kiski bhi value up-down hui na to life ke L* lag jayega
Khair agar relationship ko tum mature age me karte ho to tum couple kaheloge Linkin agar chhote umar me karte ho to tum kaheloge nibba aur nibbi.
Ji hain nibba aur nibbi jinko is umar me Pythagoras theorem samjhna hai wo ajj kal babu ki feelingwa samjh rhe h
Abe yaar
Ek min ye koi nhi bolega ki inmein gutts nhi hote, bhai itana himmat aati kaha se hai bachho me ---- 12 saal ki bacchi apni mummy ka Phone lekar/churakar band kamre me jakar ... Thik raat ko bara baje , apne 12 saal ke nibbe ke sath call pe ..
Hello babu, apne khana khaya tha na?? Babu na pls apna Dhyan rakhna acha??? Hain babu ache se sojana , gd night babu .. love ya
(Gyaan)
Me to itna hi boluga yr Dhyan whyan rakho yr aajkal ke bachho ka kya se kya karte h bishi inka hormonalwa control hi nhi hota.
Mein inki umar me tha to kisko apna Parle-G biscuit nhi deta tha aur akele hi Sara rasana pijata tha aur ye log is umar me kya kya dene/lene ke sapne dekhte rhte h yr..
Ab gussa khatam
Khair relationship jiske andar ladki app se tum aur tum se tu par aati hai ... Iska matlab ye nhi hai ki wo tumhe disrespect kar rhi hai iska mtlb ye hai ki wo tumhare sath comfort hai.... Agar ek ladki jo introvert hai kisi aur se baat nhi karti Linkin wo tumhare sath sab kuch share kar rhi h, iska mtlb ye hai ki wo tumhare pe trust karti hain
Huhh trust , jisko 14 saal ke nibbe aur nibbi, bus adde par khare hue aur baalo me gulkand lagye hue ladka ke liye ye majak aur loya bande aur bandi keliye challenge
Hein?? Challenge kyu hold on
-- Bhai is baat ka challenge kuch bhi hojaye is ladki/ladke ka sath nhi chhorona h
To jitne bhi single chhore/chhori hain, jitne bhi dil tute Aashiq ya jinka kat chuka hai, jitne bhi jo tum soch rhe ho relationship ki ya phir jitne bhi log apne proposal/relationship/propose ko pending rakha hai aur jitne bhi log naye couple hain - apni Dimag khol lo aur follow karke notification on karlo - kyuki ab relationship ka chapter start hone wala hai
Disclaimer
Sari baatein ☹️ means part -1 aur part -2 dono ek jaisi lag rhi hogi kahi kahi par kyuki actually ye part first hi ... Do bar karke isliye upload kiya kyuki shyad achhi na lage .. to give up karke nikal leta ye socha tha aur Phela aur ajib tha isliye divide & rule kardiya jada lamba ho rha tha - Linkin ab dharle se upload karuga

kheench
kuch to kheench hai tere, mere beech,
ya to mere bate tujhe raaz ayi , ya phir tere khamoshi mujhe bhagaya ,
na tu mera guru, na bhagavan,
dont worry, maa hai na bhagavan ki jagah,
Papa haina guru ka sthan me,
mere saath to nahi, magar mere saath,
ek baat to tai hai mere jaisa apahich ka zindagi koi jeena nahi, mera jaisa maut hor nahi marna.

Rise from the depth of dead hopes
Living through the blues of life and by its burden we are weighed down as we sail in the mysterious ocean of life and without destination we ride.
Drowning in the pool of emptiness and faint hopes as everyday opens a new chapter of trials and the struggle continues in a journey of no destination.
Days aren't getting better and the sun isn't getting brighter. Now it's time to rise from the depth of dead hopes and let fate decide as we look forward to an uncertain future with no knowledge of what tomorrow holds.

[ Break The Habit ]
Creativity wants to be birthed from me
All my day dreams wanting to escape their solitude
I want it too, but I keep doubt holding me down
While the congress in my mind continually argues excuse
Maybe I’m not cursed, maybe I’m just clearly a fool
To hold talents and vision to lapse in synapse
My collective works of art all fragments of thought
Will I release them one day or just choose to relapse
While dreams fan the embers trying to ignite this flame
While I’m holding my breath just hoping for change
It’s a shame because my vision maintains to be blurry
And I won’t hurry out to greet what I feel is estranged
For I like my comforts and all that’s familiar
But don’t think that I’m lazy in this imagination
I’ve lived more lives than I’m willing to confess
And that might be enough, as I figure, in relation
Yet some like a more institutionalized way
Where the weight of success is a constant demand
Start a rat race for a title to claim
To the applause of a corporate command
But sometimes the gutter holds treasures and shade
And I’m more apt to just stoop to that level
For I’d rather have nothing then the pride of a slave
Enchanted, advocating the devil
Relax, it’s a fact, the idols of religion
Are a manifest destiny in all of our trades
Trained like an animal, shaped in behavior
To the display of identity through these parades
But I’m tired of marching to tunes undistinguished
From every other cult that sings their own praise
So until my dreams are clear, I’ll just stay in this place
And try not to feel burdened by the means of delay
Life might be short but why rush to mistake
To forsake who you are in exchange of promotion
When you could hone your own skill, though it may not be staged
Is it still not a worthy devotion
I think it might be, so I’ll continue to dream
And if some fade away, well it is what it is
After all, what nightmare would come to arise
If I was granted every one of my wishes
So I’ll wrestle with patience, impatient, impatience
Dancing twelve rounds with doubt and assurance
I’ll take my own beating and rise, and repeating
In the hopes I’ll still find my endurance
Don’t need approval, don’t need the applause
Yet sometimes I still crave it in panic
Trauma as it surfaced, to heal to a purpose
In the hopes I’ll finally break the habit

Change cannot be resisted....we became strangers....strangers with familiar faces....good and bad memories...and an unfinished tale... I never gained the courage...to talk back...to ask what happened...to ask if you're still hurt...yet all I did was...gaze into your eyes...without blinking...and I decided to wait not for ever just a little longer...
I want to write
A little longer than usual
A story
Perhaps never meant to be
Yet I write
My heart's tale
Possibly eternal
I captured you forever
In my words
My heart's echo
Only if you could hear
Those wounds
Of having ever met you
Became poisonous
And I died
I wish there were two of me.

Sea of Thoughts
I'm lost in thought though aware of chasing time, day dreaming through a narrow channel in my runaway mind.
Thinking on nothing particular while pondering everything else, along with immense revelations a simple feeling can bring out.
Like why she visits when my eyes are shut tight, so discreet then flees with dawns breaking light.
I woke up to a new day, from a remembrance of older ways, broken fragments of sun spoke softly through the window onto my face.
I headed straight toward those binding fears, greeting myself in the mirror, now I see hers looking deeper into mine, and meaning never was clearer.
Maybe I couldn't put it to words, like covered pages reversed, they were torn then repaired, and I memorized that diary full of powerful lines to rehearse.
Emerging in a sea of swimming thoughts, I've become a passerby in every crowd; blending and spending too many efforts on the unborn hopes of tomorrow.
This is seeing a better way, a hindsight improvised on through true living, applied to the regretful part of every pain, thank you for forgiving.
Not me, but yourself for that's who you must live with daily, at first the silence is binding, but it transforms a company worth saving.
Embrace the facts and follow those seemingly misled tracks: back to a bed of memories, of treasures, and of best times had.

Before we get to the inference of the excerpt from this book, I felt it was important to set the context in which this excerpt has been placed. It was important to mark the contours of the intellectual thought behind this marvellous piece of literature by Ursula K. Le Guin. The book is based in an imaginary utopian world which she has very casually named Omelas. I say casually because the idea just struck her passing through a road sign on the highway leading to Salem, Oregon. She just reversed the letters and engineered an entire city out of it, a city of dreams, a city at the zenith of human imagination.
If you understand Utopia from its Platonic roots, you'll realise that it is that one optimum that human beings can never be capable of reaching. When the great philosopher Plato laid the foundations of his 'ideal state', he served it with a disclaimer. The disclaimer simply reiterated that while every state should persevere towards being the ideal state, no state could actually reach that summit of perfection. Then why was there a need to idolise something that could never be attained? The answer lies in human advances throughout history if you are willing to look at the bread crumbs for the clues that they are.
The perpetuity of striving for the best gives people two things that turn out to be incredible driving forces for the human will. One of them is a purpose. Human beings breathe and live to serve a higher purpose and this could mean anything from upholding their beliefs to providing for their family or rooting out for their own ambitions. Unless their lives get a meaning through a purpose, they feel lost and perplexed and are constantly depressed. In this regards, we humans become entrapped into our own mind and it is then next to impossible for us to attain freedom.
The other driving force, which perhaps is the single largest reason for human survivability is hope. This could mean anything from the hope of a better life to the hope of a better afterlife. What's factually interesting about this particular phenomenon is that while purpose is more atomised, in the sense that it could mean anything for anyone, hope is a more collective state of mind. Hope can be similar both in its very nature and its ultimate outcome. When Genevan thinker Jean-Jacques Rousseau coined the famous term 'General Will', perhaps he had this very understanding in mind because he did define the purpose of general will, which was the common good or common interest of humankind. According to him, individuals exhibit two kinds of wills, a real will and an actual will. An actual will is his/her desires and stem from his lesser self, while as a real will emanates from reason and rationality and therefore is much more noble.
While the general will is a sum total of all the real wills of individuals, we can put this in a more contemporary connotation by calling it 'collective conscience' of the people. This enables people to decide upon what propagates a good life or a bad life, just like how it does for the inhabitants of Omelas. But, what is good life? In a purely Benthamite sense, it would simply mean "the greatest happiness to the greatest number" or otherwise known as 'utilitarianism'. Throughout history, we have actually witnessed civilisations after civilisations only ever aspiring for that. A great king or a great emperor was one who provided the best for his subjects, even if it meant obliterating the subjects of another king or emperor. You can ask this to every rock and every crevice of Jerusalem, a city which has seen the most brutal massacres and if one were to point in any direction, there would be a remnant of this bloodshed.
It is this very philosophy that is highlighted in this particular book because while everything is perfect in Omelas, the city of dreams, there is just one imperfection that is capable of undoing everything. I find this very fascinating, because in order to keep this story grounded in human reality and not just some clear fiction, the author introduced an element of chaos. If unleashed, it could mean the destruction of the city that people have come to epitomise as unblemished. People are ready and willing to sacrifice their conscience and their morality just to see this piece of "eden" survive and provide for not just their future but the future of their children. Even if it means to stand by and watch a child, an innocent child being mercilessly tortured as part of a sacred ritual.
Coming to the inference from this excerpt, I believe it speaks of two things that are definitive outcomes of a thought process like this. One is 'banality of pain' and the other is 'glorifying evil'. Both are extremely vested in the utilitarian chain of thought. The former simply means that this "ritual", no matter how grotesque and no matter how inhumane, has been justified in such a way that watching someone in pain has absolutely no effect on the people who have become mute spectators to it. It reminds me of another Platonic idea called 'cave allegory'. If you make people believe in a lie for a long long time, they will forget that it ever was a lie just like how cavemen living inside of a cave believed that their own shadows cast from the sunlight that they had never seen was some form of magic that kept them alive. Similarly, these pendants and these totems and rituals start to seem spiritual and magical because those in power want you to believe that they are necessary evil.
The latter becomes the vassal for seeing this through without anyone questioning. The ritual here becomes so sanctified for the people performing and participating in them that they start to glorify it and defend it. So, when a child is being tortured in front of their eyes, they are jeering, they are wolf whistling, and they are clapping their hands. If you have read George Orwell's "1984", you can relate this to the 'two minutes hate' ceremony against the "traitor of the state". I would be lying if I said that this is just something you read in a novel and human beings cannot celebrate torture or hate. Salem witch trials so many centuries ago, where women of all ages were burnt alive on large pyres, had this exact plot being materialised. Why did Joan of Arc meet a similar fate when ironically she was the hero that won French soldiers an impossible war? This is because the clergy could not handle a woman challenging their authority, an authority which was built upon a certain cave allegory or myth.
So, you see, it's more than about physical freedom for humanity in toto. That is the irony being pointed out in this novel if you ask me. While the Omelas offer you everything that your heart could desire, it takes away that one thing which should matter the most, and that is freedom of conscience. The freedom to choose the right thing when everyone else has sided with the wrong. It takes tremendous courage to do something like that, to go against the flow of the tides and be steadfast in what you believe is right. This is where Rousseau fails for me, when he propagates the message that the general will is absolute and that should anyone go against the general will, "he/she will be forced to be free".
P.S - If you want to watch something that very cleverly puts this into perspective, I recommend you watch the series "The 100" on Netflix.

"Whoever refuses to obey the general will shall be compelled to do so by the whole of society, which means nothing more or less than that he will be forced to be free."
- Jean-Jacques Rousseau; The Social Contract, Or Principles of Political Right (1762) -
"बहुत सादगी है तुम्हारे भीतर जो तुम्हें और सबसे विशेष बनाती हैं। तुमने बस वास्तविकता से मेरी आत्मा को स्पर्श किया है।मुझे तुम्हारी ये बात बेहद पसंद है कि तुमने ये चांद-तारों वाली बातें कभी नहीं की बल्कि कहा कि "मैं तुम्हारे इस चांद से चेहरे पर इन दो टिमटिमाते तारों की चमक कभी नहीं खोने दूंगा"!
खैर अब बात अलग है कि मेरी आंखे तारों की जगह जुगनू हो गई और मेरा चांद सा चेहरा एक अंधियारी उदास रात में बदल गया!
बस कुछ स्थिर रहा तो वो मेरा "प्रेम" तुम्हारे प्रति।

Meri aakhon ke saaye hain dhalte jaate
Jo khaas mere wo ab kisi kaam nahi aate
Lamhen pakadun kas kar par phisle jaate
Haste chehre ab hame raas nahi aate
Badle waqt aur badlen sbki baate
Rooh ke panne par koi likhde maut aake
Meri umeedon k shama aakar koi bujhade
Ab safar main pair mere hai thakte jaate
Dar ye koi aakar marham in zakhmon par na lagade
Neend main bhi ab muje koi khaab nhi aate
Log hai aate jaate par is dil ko samaj na paate
Pouche haal par uspar bas yeh sb hasne aate
Main udhna chahun aur ye kheeche meri taange
Meri kamzoriyon ke sire muje mil naa paate
Dil pr bojh bolte hue ye meri aawaz kaape
Ham rote jaate aur din bas ase hi katte jaate

Khush
Gurur cheen liya, chain bhi sath le gaye wafa ki bhi kadar na ki, allah Kare fir bhi wo khush rahe, unki muskurahat me hi to hamari zindagi basi thi!
