What, it’s already 10th Dec! Looks like as if it was today morning when I was thinking on 1st December and how this whole 2010 just seemed to pass away in a blink…now even these ten days have gone just like that and so will the next twenty one days bringing yet another year to a closure. This year is one which has been like steadily flowing water for me…neither any good reason to be really happy nor any bad reason to be really sad, just one day after another and then another and lo’ the year is gone. I really love the following poem by Shri Harivansh Rai Bachchan and today once again feel like putting it up on my blog as this poem is just apt to describe how I have been feeling about 2010 till now, I’m anyways a big fan of his words but at times some creations seem to be so relatable and so close to your heart…
लो दिन बीता, लो रात गई
लो दिन बीता, लो रात गई,
सूरज ढलकर पच्छिम पहुँचा,
डूबा, संध्या आई, छाई,
सौ संध्या–सी वह संध्या थी,
क्यों उठते–उठते सोचा था,
दिन में होगी कुछ बात नई।
लो दिन बीता, लो रात गई।
धीमे–धीमे तारे निकले,
धीरे–धीरे नभ में फैले,
सौ रजनी–सी वह रजनी थी
क्यों संध्या को यह सोचा था,
निशि में होगी कुछ बात नई।
लो दिन बीता, लो रात गई।
चिड़ियाँ चहकीं, कलियाँ महकी,
पूरब से फिर सूरज निकला,
जैसे होती थी सुबह हुई,
क्यों सोते–सोते सोचा था,
होगी प्रातः कुछ बात नई।
लो दिन बीता, लो रात गईI
– हरिवंश राय बच्चन

You know what, sometimes I also feel like this. Life is just going by. Days are just passing. What have I achieved. Will I achieve anything worth? Will my life be any useful for anybody?
And then it's next day!

Thank you for visiting my blog as it enabled me to see yours.Nice one.The thought of days in December slipping off without causing a ripple is interesting and set me thinking.To some days linger long,to some fade away easily with each day no different from the other and to some seem crowded.It depends upon what you do with it and what battles you really face.
Thanks a bunch
