“Raat ke baad naye din ki Seher aayegi; Din nahi badlega tareekh
Badal jayegi”
The famous line from the poet “Nida Fazli” just started
repeating itself in my mind a few minutes ago. Among the wishes for a “happy
new year” that is going to start in a few hours, these lines were telling a
story that the day, the week, the month and even the year turning will not change
anything, the days will remain the same; the date certainly will change.
For a few minutes I was sad, and getting angry at the sorting
mechanism in my brain to pull out such lines from the tresses of the grey
matter on a day when I want to not only be positive, but also spread positivity
around me. Why while searching for a positive message to share I was handed
these lines by my brain? And then I realized it is indeed a great message for me, for
you and for everyone.
Raat ke baad naye din ki seher aayegi – After the night will come
the dawn of a new day
Din nahi badlega; Tareekh badal jayegi – The Day may not change though
the date will certainly change.
The promise is of a New Dawn. The reality is change of date. But the
day may remain same. As the day will not be changed by those who make calendar
(date changers) or the big guy in sky who made the New Dawn. The day is our
personal gift, our own responsibility. Day is our canvas, our easel, our page
to write our own story. That is the core of the concept of Free will which most religions talk about. The Big Guy in sky’s ultimate promise, “you make your own
days.”
Without stretching it more all I will say is that the new day is a
new page, write the story that you enjoy. Write the story that you can be proud
of when you visit it at a later date. The new day is a blank canvas and if you
look inside you, you have all the colors in all their hues. Paint the masterpiece
that you can proudly display on the walls of memory for all eternity. The New
Year starting in a few hours will be a book full of blank pages, a box full of
blank canvas. Be your own legend and write your own stories, weave them in the
stories of the people around you. Create the masterpieces and display with
proud.
The promise is that “Raat ke bad Naye din ki seher aayegi” – There will
be a new dawn after the night and that is a given.
And the date will change that is a given too. The day changes or not
is based on how you play your own part on the stage.
So I will wish you a new year where you get all the strength and
vision and opportunity to play your part in a way that it shapes your next day
(and all the days ahead) as you want. A New year to create more personal
legends and more stories to proudly remember and share. A new year to enjoy and
love and be loved.
I wish that you make yourself an Awesomely Blessed New Year!!!!!
