The hardest part in life, they say, Is when the one you love goes away. They gave me memories, pure and bright, But now they're gone, like a fading light. My parents and grandparents, strong and bold, Aging slowly, growing old. I saw the signs but chose to ignore, Until loss knocked on my heart's door. A loved one passed, I wasn't there, I thought I had time, but life isn't fair. Years slipped by, guilt took hold, A sorrow so deep, a story untold. Her absence left a scar so deep, It wakes me up from my sleep. But in that pain, a lesson …

पहाड़ों की कहानी, हौसले की जुबानी
पहाड़ों का सफर, दिल की एक कहानी,कदम दर कदम, मिलती नई निशानी।डर और शक को पीछे छोड़ आई,हर ट्रेक पर नई मैं बनती आई। रास्ते थे टेढ़े, कहीं ऊंचाई, कहीं ढलान,दोस्ती और हिम्मत ने दी नई पहचान।कभी थकान में छिपी मुस्कान, कभी जोश में थी जान,हर कदम ने सिखाया, सच्चाई का एक नया अरमान। खुद को खोजने का सफर था ये अनोखा,हर मोड़ पर मिला खुद का ही एक टुकड़ा।पहाड़ों ने सिखाया, कैसे पाएं हम अपनी ताकत,हर चोटी पर मिली, हौसले की एक नई विरासत। अनजाने रास्तों में, डर को किया पार,खुद को जाना, हौसले की उठाई मशाल।चलो बढ़ते रहें, हर कदम बने एक नई कहानी,ट्रेकिंग के …
