जब से देखा, मैंने तुझको, मुझको, शायरी आ गई

जब से देखा, मैंने तुझको, मुझको, शायरी आ गई

Transformation which has a simple meaning is our go to word for motivation. Most of us would have seen videos or read about athletes, business men/women or other inspirational legends. Through hard work over the years, they transformed their lives. All of us know about the God like near perfect bodies of Arnold Schwarzenegger or Dwayne Jhonson aka The Rock. We can imagine how long it took them to get transformed into icons.

This is the normal way of looking at things. But since I stand out of the crowd (being short, you can find me perched on some pedestal to make sense of what is going on), I have a different take on this.

“मैं शायर तो नहीं, मगर ऐ हसीन

जब से देखा, मैंने तुझको, मुझको

शायरी आ गई!

मैं आशिक तो नहीं, मगर ऐ हसीन

जब से देखा, मैंने तुझको, मुझको

आशिकी आ गई!”

या फिर

“गुलाबी आँखें जो तेरी देखीं

शराबी ये दिल हो गया

संभालो मुझको ओ मेरे यारों

संभलना मुश्किल हो गया|”

या फिर

“प्यार हमें किस मोड़ पे ले आया

ये दिल करे हाय, कोई ये बताए क्या होगा|”

This is what I call Transformation. This is what a girl can do to you (heartfelt emotions especially for my mechanical engineering brothers). Now please don’t start searching for beautiful girls/boys for your transformation.

What I am trying to convey is, think outside the box. Just 1 moment is enough to change your life. Every decision you take needs a split second and transforms you forever. No matter how much time you ponder upon the possibilities, but the moment you decide, that very moment you transform into a new individual.

लेकिन, जब कोई भी चीज़ आसानी से मिल जाए, तो उसकी कद्र नहीं होती|

This is where the ‘Twist’ kicks in. The Important part is not to just transform but to maintain and grow with the transformation. Even a caterpillar transforms into a butterfly but it does not stay there. It grows and perfects its flying. Everyone gets opportunities to transform their lives but only a few build on it. Are you brave enough to be accountable for your decisions? Do you have the courage to bear the pain and sweat it out in the arena? Because if you are brave enough, then you are bound only by your thoughts. 

Go out, decide and stick with it long enough and see the magic happen.

मंजिल उन्हीं को मिलती है, जिनके सपनों में जान होती है

पंखों से कुछ नहीं होता, हौसलों से उड़ान होती है|
