Khoya Khoya Chand......

With this title you might think that my blog note is a tribute to Mr. Dev Anand who just passed away. But no I must tell you it’s not.

It’s about the moon that is missing in our life now days and we are paying attention to it. Don’t worry I was also one of yours till last Saturday. On last Saturday on 10^th December 2011 when I was enjoying my dinner with my uncle at our Dadar place, Sandeep a friend of mine from Pune texted me saying, ”Hey Adhi you saw moon?” I was like what is this?? I messaged him back saying,” Why? What’s so great in it?”  He messaged back saying “Idiot its full moon eclipse tonight and this is the list eclipse of this year” Then I realized how uneducated and ignorant I am about current events happening around me.

But the Zor ka zatka or the bigger shock followed later when I realized that I have not seen a single eclipse till date in my life. Now the inner voice of my mind told me ‘” Come on Adhish go and watch it it’s Now or Never” I speedily finished my dinner and with so much excitement and enthusiasm I went into balcony to see the moon and what I saw A 30 storied big commercial complex outside to our balcony because of which I was not able to see the moon. My all excitement goes down. With little disappointment I came in the room.

But he proved me wrong he texted me saying,” Why are you losing your hope so early just get out from you house dude and wherever possible go and see the moon yaar. This is so rare view that you can see half moon on full moon day” I realized sometimes we behave in so much childish manner. And we always need external force to do the things which make our life better. But I controlled my mind from going into debate of thoughts as wanted to see the first eclipse of my life.

At last I came to railway bridge of Dadar station and finally I saw the view for which I was striving for.  A milky white half moon was exactly looking half by the black shadow. The beauty of that moon was just out of my words. And moon was look only waiting for me. As after I saw it immediately with minute or two eclipses started its journey to end.  I was standing steady to see that spectacular view. Slowly that black shadow started running away from moon and then with its full glory charm came out of it. I was feeling like clap for it but I didn’t did it. Finally I saw the first eclipse of my life.

I turned back and started walking towards the room. While walking down from bridge I noticed that at the end of the bridge crowd was gathered at one place. I saw people were standing out of plaza theatre for next show of the movie “The Dirty Picture” featuring “Vidya Balan” in very bold manner.

The crowd was quite enthusiastic and restless to watch the movie. I saw towards the crowd who were looking up to the sensuous posters of the movie on theatre wall and I saw moon at the bridge and no one was there to saw him. For a moment I felt so petty about each and every member of the crowd who didn’t even noticed the great nature’s drama and were excited about false and fake  drama which was about to begin in the theatre.

That is why my title is Khoya Khoya Chand we are missing the real charm of our life and just running behind short term and fake things which we think the best and greatest charm of the life. When nature is going with his both hands abundantly, why we are going to materialistic and short term things of the happiness?? I am unable to find the answer If you could please let me know. While ending the note want quote some beautiful lines which describe the whole scenario very nicely.

Wohh Chand Khila….

Wohh  tare hasey………..

Yeh raat ajab matawalii hain……

Samazane waale samaz gaye hain…..

Na samaze woh  ANADI hain…
