The Sponge Life

Going through a weird fase in life where I'm beginning to feel like a sponge..a sponge that absorbs everything but is not supposed to react.

But what happens when it's capacity is full ? A sponge does not explode so I suppose it just dries with time and the cycle of absorbing starts all over again..until the cracks appear and it slowly disintegrates.

The only words that come to my mind are of Mehdi Hassan Sahab’s ghazal :



Sab ki sun kar chup Rehte hain 
Dil ki baat nahi kehte 
Aate aate jeene ke bhi 
Laakh bahaane aa jaate hain…

Kese kese log humare 
Ji ko jalaane aa jaate hain 
Apne apne gham ke fasane 
Humein sunane aa jaate hain …

In se alag mein reh nahi sakti 
Is bedard zamane mein 
Meri ye majboori mujhko 
Yaad dilaane aa jaate hain…
