A never ending chase..

to day i have a meeting to attend
tomorrow is this interview
hmmm day after i will be out of town
the weekend would have been good
except that i have family coming in.

  

why dont we do this
let me finish with the work at hand
plan my schedule for the next week
and then i give you a call?
im sure we can meet

  

good idea no really… except that
if i didnt know any better
i would take you seriously
and wilt waiting for that call
from now to hereafter

  

for life in the city is nothing
but a never ending race
the closer we get
the further they seem
all the ‘its’ that we chase

  

(But we hope you will be able to make it to Do Din)

Do Din is about relationships

इन शहरों की अजीब फितरत है
 
लोग ज़्यादा होते हैं और रिश्ते कम 
जो थोड़े बहुत रिश्ते हैं
उन्हें निभाने का वक़्त नहीं 
 
गुज़ारा कमाने में इतने मसरूफ हैँ कि
फिसलती हुई ज़िन्दगी का होश नहीं
हर पल इतनी जल्दी है कि
यादगार लम्हे समेटने की फुर्सत नहीं 
 
जब अकेले पड़ जाते हैं तो
न कोई होता है जिसका सहारा ले सकें
न ही कुछ यादें रहती हैं जिनके सहारे जी सकें
