Life did not come with a manual, It came with a mother and a few falls. You learn by scraping your knees, And by answering the hard calls.

Life Lessons
Nobody is watching as closely as you think, Nobody is judging that loud. Half your fear is a mirror, The other half is an imaginary crowd.
The people who stayed when you had nothing, Those are your real accounts. Everything else is a follower count, And follower counts do not count.
Zindagi is a rented room, You do not own it, you just live. So do not fight over the walls, Just decide what to give.
Some doors close so quietly, You do not hear them for years. Then one day you look back, And thank them through the tears.
You cannot control the rain, You can control the umbrella. That is all my father taught me, And honestly, it is enough.
Life keeps no promises, only surprises, Some wrapped, some just thrown. Open them all, even the ugly ones, That is how the good ones get shown.
Struggle
The rent is due, the job is not, The phone rings with people who want. I eat a plate of dal alone tonight, And tell no one what I want.
Some days life is a full local train, You hang from the door and pray. You reach, you do not know how, And you do it again the next day.
I fell and nobody clapped, I got up and nobody saw. That is the real struggle, Quiet, unfiltered, raw.
The city takes rent from your dreams, A little every single month. You pay, you shrink, you keep going, And hope it gives back once.
I have eaten at a lot of tables, Some full, some just a plate. The empty ones taught me more About what a full one weighs.
There is a version of me who gave up, I meet him some nights in the mirror. We talk, I listen, then I leave, And the morning gets a little clearer.
Nobody posts the struggling years, The cold room, the borrowed fare. But those years are the ones That built everything I wear.
Small Joys
Chai on the terrace, sun on the face, A pigeon minding its own business. Life is not always a mountain, Sometimes it is just this, and this is.
A phone call from an old friend, Out of nowhere, no reason at all. Ten minutes of nonsense, And the day stands a little tall.
The first rain on hot tar, That smell, that ten-second hush. If life has a signature, It is written in that rush.
Mom sent a tiffin through the neighbour, Still warm, still too much. I ate it standing at the counter, And remembered life does not need much.
The exact change in the auto, The song ending at the door. Small wins nobody writes about, But they are what the day is for.
A stranger held the lift for me, A dog followed me home a while. Nothing happened today, really, And I still ended it with a smile.
Old jeans that finally fit again, A window seat on a slow bus. Nobody puts these on a list, But these are the days that carry us.
Time and Change
The gully has a new shop, new faces, The old tree is a parking lot. I stand where the swing used to hang, And time does not ask what I thought.
Every year I say this year is different, Every year some part of it is. Not the part I planned, of course, But change is like that, it is what it is.
Friends became contacts, contacts became names, Names became on this day reminders. That is how time works on people, Slowly, quietly, behind us.
I used to want everything faster, Now I want the evening to slow. The clock did not change its speed, I just learned what it takes as it goes.
The old me would not recognise this one, Different city, different hair, different fears. But the same laugh at bad jokes, Some things survive the years.
You cannot step in the same evening twice, The chai is different, the light is gone. So drink this one fully, Before it too moves on.
Time is not a thief, it is a landlord, It takes its share and lets you stay. Pay it with attention, And it gives you a decent day.
Zindagi Status Lines
Life is short, But the evenings can be long if you sit with them.
Nobody has it figured out, Some just have better captions.
Zindagi is not a race, It is a long walk with tea breaks.
Lose people, lose plans, Just do not lose yourself.
Every bad day Has an expiry date.
You get one life, Stop living it for the comments.
The plan failed, The person did not.
Some days you win, Some days you just learn where the exits are.
Hinglish (Roman Hindi)
Zindagi ek udhaar ki kitaab hai, Jitna padh lo, utna hi apna hai.
Mushkilein aati hain toh aane do, Waqt ki tarah ye bhi guzar jaayengi.
Jo mila usme khush rehna seekh lo, Jo nahi mila woh shayad tumhare liye tha hi nahi.
Zindagi ne bohot kuch chheena, Par har baar seekhne ka mauka bhi diya.
Log badalte hain, waqt badalta hai, Bas chai ki pyaali aur tanhai wahi rehti hai.
Har subah ek naya safar hai, Kal ki thakan ko wahin chhod aao.
Zindagi ka hisaab mat rakho, Bas jo pal hai usse jee lo.
