Zara Sa Hi Sahi

"Is daudti- bhagti zindagi main zara sa chain hi sahi par jo hai usme khush rehna seekho", Maa hamesha yahi kehti hai. Par kaun samjhaye maa ko ki aaj ke time main 'satisfaction' hi insaan ka dushman hai...jisne santosh kar liya samjo vo mar gaya....bhai aage progess karni hai to bhaagna padega, ladna padega, avval nambar par aane ki chaah rakhi padegi aur fir vahan tak pahuchane ke raaste bhi banane padenge, aur haan in sabke beech 'santosh' ki na to koi jagah hai na time! Itna saal kaam-karte kare ab main professional life main hi nahi personal life main bhi 'Targets' banane lagi hu...pata nahi yeh sahi hai ya nahi...par haan apni goal sheet banake santosh jaruru milta hai, teen mahine main LED TV, agle saal nayi gadi, june main family holidays...aur na jaane kya kya! Aaj aisi hi apni banayi hui kuch purani goal sheets dekhi...hmmm....dekh kar ek ajeeb si khushi mehsoos hui...kafi targets poore ho gaye they...kaafi tick marks they.....hmm...Feeling of Accomplishment. Fir achanak kuch atpata sa ehsaas hua....kai sawaal utne lage jaise ki kya meri life ek 'Project Plan' hai jisme har cheej ek timeline se judi hai...har cheez ka ek target to hai...par zindaki ka target hi pata nahi....!! Aise hi kuch udeh bun main sochte-sochte pata nahi kahan kho gayi main, ek pal practical aur systematic hone ka ehsaas hota to ek pal aisa lagta ki main zindagi ko jee hi nhi rahi hun...bas ek ke baad doosra target achieve kar rahi hun...kuch ho jate hain to khush hote bhool jati hun...aur jo nahi poore hote...ya to unke peeche bhaagti rehti hun ya fir...frustate hote unhe apni goal sheet se delete kar deti hun...! Aur waise bhi, itni saari self-motivation ki books main bhi to yahi likha hai ki apne liye ek wish list banaye....!! Par kabhi-kabhi in khoye-paaye panno main un lamho ko miss karti hu jo inme likhe targets ko poora karne main bali chad gaye...!! kitni saari barsaate....chai-pakode....dost....picnics haan...PICNIC kitna poorana suna lagta hai ye sab! Zara sa hi sahi par zindagi ka maza to inme hi hai.....targets poore karne se zindagi achieve to kee ja sakti hai par jee nahi jaa sakti....shayad Maa sahi kehti hai...'Santosh' zindagi jeene ka naam hai!
