“Kuch safar manzil tak nahi le jaate… par khud tak zaroor le jaate hain.”
Tamasha dekhi hai na tumne?
Ranbir Kapoor ka character Ved — jo duniya ke expectations pe jee raha hota hai. Lekin ek trip ke baad… apni asli kahani likhta hai.
Us film ko dekh kar mujhe hamesha lagta tha, kya mere safar mein bhi koi Corsica hoga?
Aur phir ek din, bina kisi reason ke… main Bikaner ke liye nikal pada.
🎒 Ek Safar Jiska Na Map Tha, Na Manzil
Na koi doston ka plan,
na koi itinerary — sirf main, ek backpack, aur dil ke andar ek awaaz:
“Chal na thoda khud ke sath ghoom ke aate hain.”
Train pakdi Vadodara se — destination: Bikaner.
Train main jab chadha, to dimaag mein koi tourist list nahi thi…
sirf ek line baar baar goonj rahi thi:
“Main kaun hoon… jo dikh raha hoon ya jo sochta hoon?”
🚉 Train Mein Do Ghante Ka Silence, Aur Sau Sawal
Jab train Rajasthan ke desert views ke beech chali na…
to network gaya, aur saath mein duniya ki awaaz bhi.
Bas main tha, ek window seat, ek notebook,
aur woh khaali white page jo chilla chilla ke bol raha tha:
“Tu kya likhna chahta hai?”
Ek mod pe train kisi station pe 10 minute ruki.
Naam mujhe yaad nahi,
lekin bench pe baithke maine bas saans li…
aur laga, Goa ka sea-view bhi iss sukoon ke saamne halka lagta hai.
📍 Bikaner Mein, Khud Se Mulaqat Wali Jagah
Junagarh fort gaya… log photos le rahe the.
Main sirf deewar ko dekh raha tha —
jaise har rang, har crack kuch keh raha ho.
Ek kone mein baith gaya, notebook khola…
aur likhne laga bina soch ke.
Us waqt laga:
“Main yeh hoon… jo bina brief ke likh sakta hai.
Na likes chahiye, na views. Bas likhne ka sukoon chahiye.”
☕ Chai Stall Pe Jo Khud Ko Mila
Shaam ke waqt ek local chai stall dikha.
Ek garam chai, ek quiet sunset,
aur ek unknown city — lekin andhar se sab kuchh known lagne laga.
Chai wale bhaiya ne bola:
“Akele aaye ho kya, bhai saab?”
Main sirf muskaraaya…
kyunki main khud ke itne paas kab aaya tha, mujhe yaad hi nahi.
🚶♂️ Wapas Aate Waqt, Main Wohi Tha… Par Thoda Aur Main
Train mein wahi seat thi, wahi view —
lekin main ab wo banda nahi tha
jo “break” lene aaya tha…
Ab main us journey ke liye ready tha
jisme main khud apna raasta likhne jaa raha tha.
💭 Tum Bhi Kabhi Khud Se Milne Nikalna
Har trip Instagram ke liye nahi hota.
Kabhi kisi Bikaner ki galiyon mein,
kabhi kisi Mussorie ke bench pe,
tum khud se mil jaate ho — bina appointment ke.
Aur jab khud se mil jaate ho…
toh duniya se expectations kam ho jaati hai,
aur zindagi ki kahani asli lagne lagti hai.
