ज़िंदगी एक बार मिलती है (Zindagi Ek Baar Milti Hai) – Poem by Ronak Sawant

ज़िंदगी एक बार मिलती है

ज़िंदगी एक बार मिलती है,
दिल से जी ले,
खुल कर जी ले।

दोबारा नहीं मिलेगी ये ज़िंदगी,
वक़्त होने से पहले कर ले इससे दोस्ती,
वक़्त होने से पहले कर ले सारी मस्ती।

कवि - रोनक सावंत

Zindagi Ek Baar Milti Hai

Zindagi ek baar milti hai,
Dil se jee le,
Khul kar jee le.

Dobara nahin milegi yeh zindagi,
Waqt hone se pehle karle isse dosti,
Waqt hone se pehle karle saari masti.

A Child Forever

Childhood is the root of our lives; the root which grows into a plant (young age) and then later into a tree (old age), as the time passes. I am 22 now, and I am into the plant stage. The plant stage is the most significant stage of life. Because most of the people fail in this stage due to some reasons, and this is the stage which fades away the root stage of our lives, childhood!

But like a plant, I too feel my roots (the child in me) every day. I love to meet that child because this child is the one who taught me how to live a free life without stress and worries. This child is the one who made me realise the real meaning of happiness that it exists in the little things of day-to-day life. Even though being a plant (young) now, I don’t find joy in huge things. This child is the one who made it so clear to me that love is the ultimate cure. The more love you give, the more you will receive. Even though tomorrow when I will turn into a tree, I will forever keep a child in me alive. And I will always try my best to meet my root (the child in me) every single day.

So here’s the one who is writing this blog, not as a young Ronak Sawant but as a child Ronak Sawant. And here’s to everyone who likes to meet and have kept the child in them alive, Happy Children’s Day!

That's me when I was almost five years old.

So many good memories of me when I was a child!

A child forever!

Journey of Life – Song by Ronak Sawant

[Verse 1]

Life is a blessing and beautiful

Life is a gift and graceful

There's so much to do

There's so much to learn

So many places to go

This life is only the one

Stop chasing money

Just do what you love

Cause life's journey is not forever

It has an end, and death can occur whenever

Life is all about living

So live before you die

[Chorus]

Yeah

I'm gonna walk

this journey of life

I'm gonna live

this journey of life

And I'm gonna breathe

O-O-O-O, O-O-O-O, O-O-O-O, O

this journey of

this journey of

this journey of

this journey of life

[Verse 2]

Life is a mystery and magical

Life is precious and practical

Everything happens here for a reason

Love, happiness and peace is a mission

Listen to the voice coming from inside

Follow your heart and enjoy the ride

Take that one step of your life

And don't be afraid to be alive

Life is all about the journey

So don't worry about where you will arrive

Just live in the moment

Have fun and make it count

[Chorus]

Yeah

I'm gonna walk

this journey of life

I'm gonna live

this journey of life

And I'm gonna breathe

O-O-O-O, O-O-O-O, O-O-O-O, O

this journey of

this journey of

this journey of

this journey of life

[Bridge] (x2)

Come

Let's go on the journey

Let's enjoy this journey

Let's live this journey

Let's breathe in this journey of life

[Chorus] (x2)

Yeah

I'm gonna walk

this journey of life

I'm gonna live

this journey of life

And I'm gonna breathe

O-O-O-O, O-O-O-O, O-O-O-O, O

मंज़िल यहीं है (Manzil Yahin Hai) – Poem by Ronak Sawant

मंज़िल यहीं है

रास्ता कठिन है,
लेकिन नामुमकिन नहीं।

भटकना तो तय है,
लेकिन घूम जाना नहीं।

दुःख तो हर पल है,
लेकिन दिल कमजोर नहीं।

ज़िंदगी पैसों में समाई है,
लेकिन ख़ुशी नहीं।

डरता क्यों है मुसाफिर,
मंज़िल यहीं है।

कवि - रोनक सावंत

~~~

Manzil Yahin Hai

Raasta kathin hai,
Lekin namumkin nahi.

Bhatakna toh tay hai,
Lekin ghoom jana nahi.

Dukh toh har pal hai,
Lekin dil kamzor nahi.

Zindagi paiso mein samaayi hai,
Lekin khushi nahi.

Darta kyun hai musafir,
Manzil yahin hai.

पहाड़ों से प्यार (Pahaadon Se Pyaar)

पता नहीं क्या हुआ है मुझे आजकल,

पहाड़ों में अपने आप को देख रहा हूँ,

पहाड़ों में अपने दिल को महसूस कर रहा हूँ,

पहाड़ों में जैसे शायद खुद ही को ढूंढ रहा हूँ।

अभी तो यहीं हूँ मैं, पर दिल है कहीं पहाडों में।

ये पहाड़ों से प्यार है मेरा या कुछ और!

~~~

Pahaadon Se Pyaar

Pata nahi kya hua hai mujhe aaj-kal,

Pahaadon mein apne aap ko dekh raha hoon,

Pahaadon mein apne dil ko mehsoos kar raha hoon,

Pahaadon mein jaise shayad khud hi ko dhoondh raha hoon.

Abhi toh yahin hoon main, par dil hai kahin pahaadon mein.

Yeh pahaadon se pyaar hai mera yaa kuch aur!

अभी तो बहुत कुछ है बाकी (Abhi Toh Bahut Kuch Hai Baaki) – Poem by Ronak Sawant

अभी तो बहुत कुछ है बाकी

दिन आता है,
दिन जाता है,
रुकता नहीं है यह कभी,
बस यूँही चलते रहता है।

ज़िंदगी का दस्तूर भी कुछ ऐसा ही होता है,
जो किस्मत में लिखा है शायद वही मिलता है।
वक़्त तो बहुत है हमारे पास यहाँ,
लेकिन उसकी चाबी अपने हाथों में कहाँ।

हर पल यहाँ कुछ-न-कुछ होते रहता है,
दिन बस ऐसे ही ढलते जाता है।
कभी है ख़ुशी तो कभी है ग़म,
कभी चेहरे पे हसी तो कभी आँखें है नम।

कुछ सीखले इस दिन से यारा,
आएंगे ना ऐसे लम्हें दोबारा।
रुकना मत इतने दूर आकर,
अभी तो बहुत कुछ है बाकी मेरे हमसफ़र।

कवि - रोनक सावंत

~~~

Abhi Toh Bahut Kuch Hai Baaki

Din aata hai,
Din jaata hai,
Rukhta nahi hai yeh kabhi,
Bas yunhi chalte rehta hai.

Zindagi ka dastoor bhi kuch aisa hi hota hai,
Jo kismat mein likha hain shayad wahi milta hai.
Waqt toh bahut hain humaare paas yahan,
Lekin uski chaabee apne haathon mein kahan.

Har pal yahan kuch-na-kuch hote rehta hai,
Din bas aise hi dhalte jaata hai.
Kabhi hai khushi toh kabhi hai gham,
Kabhi chehre pe hassi toh kabhi aankhein hai nam.

Kuch seekhle iss din se yaara,
Aayenge na aise lamhein dobara.
Rukhna mat itne dur aakar,
Abhi toh bahut kuch hai baaki mere humsafar.

थेंब आनंदाचे [पाऊस आला] – Poem by Ronak Sawant

आले ते थेंब, आला आनंद,

हो आला, पाऊस आला.

चेहऱ्यावर आले हस्य परत, तर मन झाले उदंड,

कारण आला आपला लाडका, पाऊस आला.

यंदा आम्हा-सगळयांना फार उत्सुकता होती तुझी पाऊसा,

कारण दुष्काळामुळे सर्वांचा घरी आलेला दुखवटा.

आखेर तु आलास,

नि सगळयांना चिंब भिजवू लागलास.

ह्या सुखलेल्या नद्यांना आता तुझ्यामुळे पूर येईल,

हे सुखलेले झाडे पानांने, फळांने व फुलांने भरून येतील,

सृष्टी हिरव्या रंगाने रंगून जाईल,

मोर वना-वनात थुई थुई नाचू लागतील.

हा सर्व निसर्ग सुंदर दिसेल,

बळीराजाच्या बळाला आता यश मिळेल.

हे सर्व काही आभाळातून कोसलणाऱ्या तुझ्या ह्या थेंबांचे कमाल,

तर रिम-झिम पडणाऱ्या तुझ्या ह्या सरींची धमाल.

काही लोकं मनसोक्त भिजून तुझा आनंद घेतात,

तर काही लोकं पावसात नाचून व खेळून प्रफुल्लित होतात.

काही लोकं भजी व टपरीवरची चहा मित्रांसोबत घेऊन मजा करतात,

तर काही लोकं घरबसल्या, परिवारासोबत गाणी ऐकून, पावसा तुझा स्वागत करतात.

सर्वांना आपला वाटणारा तू,

जेव्हा गेल्या काही वर्षात गेलास निघून,

फार वाईट वाटले मनाला, तर कधी आले रडू,

आमच्याकडून काही चूक झाली असेल तर मोठ्या मनाने माफ टाक करून.

तुझ्या थेंबाने मन होते ताजेतवाने,

तर तुझ्या थेंबाने आठवतात ती बालपणाची पावसाळ्यातील आठवणे.

तुझ्या थेंबाने मन होते प्रसन्न,

तर तुझ्या थेंबाने बदलते हे जीवन.

तुझ्या थेंबात आहे दिलासा,

तर तुझ्या थेंबात आहे काही तरी खास.

तुझ्या थेंबात आहे जलसा,

तर तुझ्या प्रत्येक थेंबात आहे आनंद वाटण्याचे ध्यास.

ही ठंड गार हवा,

तर हा मातीचा गंध,

किती अनोखा आहे ना,

हा पावसाचा आनंद.

असाच येत जा नेहमी पावसा,

आणि असाच आपल्या थेंबाने सर्वांना आनंद वाटत राहा.

कारण, तु आम्हाला हवा आहेस,

तु आम्हाला हवा आहेस.

Journey from Nothing to Something

I always wanted to do 'something' in life.

Something good,

Something that will make me happy and satisfy my soul,

Something that will make people smile,

Something that will inspire people and help them keep going in life.

I think I have already found that 'something' that I always wanted to do in life.

I don't know how I found this 'something' or whether it was written in my life, but I am thankful to have discovered it. Life has become more meaningful because of this 'something'. Life would be so boring that I can't even imagine my life without this 'something' now! Because by doing this 'something' I feel the real meaning of life, love and happiness. Above all, this is where I perceive my inner self, my soul.

Yes! Dancing, Photography, and Writing are 'something' that I always wanted to do in life. Till now the journey from nothing to something has been amazing, and it is something that I can cherish lifelong. I still want to stay on this journey and would love to spend my whole life doing this 'something'! Who knows, I may find something more by keeping at it.

Thank you to all the people who are supporting me on this 'journey of something'. I appreciate your support! And I hope you too find that 'something' you always wanted to do in life.

Dreams are possible. Keep going!

We all have some dreams in life.

We all have some ambitions and aspirations in life.

We all have a goal in life.

And, we all want to become something in life.

This journey of stepping the first step and then reaching towards the dream, ambition or goal is not easy. It is not like a walk in the park. It is going to be the most challenging walk ever. It will be the toughest journey of life. There will be a pain, struggle, hard work, rejection, tears, and sacrifice, all in a tremendous amount. You will have a heartbreak, and at times you will be broke. You will be down physically, mentally and emotionally. You will be angry. You will be jealous. The people who were close to you will leave you, even your friends. You will hear people talking shit about you. You will feel alone. And then, there will be a time in life when you will feel like giving up on yourself. You will feel like stopping this all or even quitting this life.

But trust me my friend, along with all these things there will be something called happiness and satisfaction. Every step that you take towards your dream will make it count and make you feel alive. God will always be there with you throughout the journey. Guiding you and providing endless opportunities for you. You only have to stay strong, have faith and belief in yourself. Keep doing your work and leave the rest to the God.

Also, there will be some people who will like you and support you. These are the special people whom you should keep closer in your life for the ones being present during your struggle should be present during your happy times. This journey will be all worth in the end. Because when you reach towards the destination (dream), you will have the brightest smile on your face, you will be happy and satisfied, you will have your moments, you will have memories, you will have the time of your life and you will have tears too but this time full of joy.

So, don’t be afraid to tell the world why and for what you are living. Don’t be scared to tell people about your dreams. They may call you crazy, but crazy people are the ones who change and rule the world!

You are unique and special in own way. Trust your dreams and stay strong.

"Dreams are possible. Keep going!"

I Dance, I Dance & I Dance! – Poem by Ronak Sawant

I Turn, I Learn
I Step, I Rep
I Move, I Groove
I Leap, I Whip
I Jump, I Krump
I Stop, I Pop
I dance every time I get a chance,
I dance and go into a trance.

I Sweat, I Create
I Struggle, I Wiggle
I fall; I get up & stand tall
I cry; I try & fly
There are times when I am broke,
I keep a smile and take it as a joke.
I dance to be alive,
I dance to live life.

I Live, I Believe
I Aspire, I Inspire
I express my body and soul,
To be happy and whole.
I dance to be me,
I dance to be free.
I eat, live, breathe dance,
I Dance, I Dance & I Dance!

Poet - Ronak Sawant
