8 Facts About Life


Life is like a rolling wheel; sometimes you are up, sometimes you are down. The fact remains that life, whether you like it or not is nothing permanent. For most people who are struggling everyday in order to cope with life; life for them is a series of unpleasant chapters with little to consider worth remembering but these unpleasantness could turn the other way around. For those who are enjoying life to the fullest, they cannot just relax because there is always the possibility that they will experience a down swing.
Here are facts about life that you can consider in order to live more harmoniously.
Fact # 1
Life could never be perfect. If life were perfect; there would be no challenges for a person to face plus there would be no interesting phase of life. Perhaps God made life imperfect so that people will have responsibilities to do. The missing links in life become tools for people to use in grappling with circumstances that they encounter in life everyday; otherwise, man would just sit down and do nothing if life were perfect.
Fact # 2
Most circumstances in life aren’t permanent. Circumstances change from time to time. As the popular saying goes; nothing is permanent on earth. There will always come a time when your life changes; and the changes could either be positive or negative, just as it could be bad or good.
Fact # 3
Life could either be happy or sad. You have to accept that life has only two directions to go, and the situation depends on how you look at situations. There are individual differences and you could either look at the brighter side of things or the darker side. This means that the way you look at things will determine how you will live your life. If you want a happy life then look at the bright side because whether you like it or not there are always the sad parts of life.
Fact #4
Life could either be a success or a failure. For as long as you are living on earth; you can always hope for situations to change directions. So if you are struggling with what little you have today; you can always hope for a brighter future. This has been proven a lot of times. Life has proven things that some people call, “a miracle.” You could be very poor today but, the next time, you could be a very rich man.
Fact # 5
In reality, you can never have everything in life. No one has ever obtained everything in life. You could be the richest man alive but there will always be things that you cannot have. Just like many people around who are wealthy but unhappy and there are also people who are very poor but can have all the time to laugh off their problems and live a happy life. That’s a fact.
Fact # 6
Life is full of surprises. You will always get a surprise one way or another in the span of life you live on earth. And what makes life interesting is that the surprises could either be pleasant or unpleasant. If you are lucky, you can be surprised by a miracle in life but if you are unlucky, you can receive the most heart-shattering surprise in life that could devastate you totally.
Fact # 7
Life is what we make it. You always hear that line and that is one of the facts of life. Life is what you make it; this makes sense. If you believe in fate and luck; it may help you but the fact remains that what you do with your life determines the kind of life you will have. So if you want to mess your life, go on but you will suffer the consequences of your acts. But if you start your life the right way; you can be sure that everything will go on smoothly.
Fact # 8
Life rolls with the turn of time. Life always moves on no matter what happens; so if you are submerged in a cauldron of problems today; don’t lose hope because tomorrow will always be another day and it may change the situation. You will live a happier and healthier life if you live one day at a time and not try to think of what will happen next year when the year is just starting.
You cannot predict what your life would be but you can at least make it worthy. Knowing the facts about life can help you to plan and make your life a better life to live; that is healthier and happier

Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara Shayari

Tu Kyun Rota Hai 
(The poem comes when Farhan is heartbroken after meeting his estranged dad) 



Jab jab dard ka baadal chaya
 
Jab ghum ka saya lehraya
 
Jab aansoo palkon tak aya
 
Jab yeh tanha dil ghabraya
 
Humne dil ko yeh samjhaya
 
Dil aakhir tu kyun rota hai
 
Duniya mein yunhi hota hai
 
Yeh jo gehre sannaate hain
 
Waqt ne sabko hi baante hain
 
Thoda ghum hai sabka qissa
 
Thodi dhoop hai sabka hissa
 
Aankh teri bekaar hi namm hai
 
Har pal ek naya mausam hai
 
Kyun tu aise pal khota hai
 
Dil aakhir tu kyun rota hai
 



Pighle Neelam Sa
 (The poem comes after the trio’s deep-sea dive) 



Pighle neelam sa behta ye sama,
 
neeli neeli si khamoshiyan,
 
na kahin hai zameen na kahin aasmaan,
 
sarsaraati hui tehniyaan pattiyaan,
 
keh raheen hai bas ek tum ho yahan,
 
bas main hoon, meri saansein hain aur meri dhadkanein,
 
aisi gehraiyaan, aisi tanhaiyaan, aur main... sirf main.
 
Apne hone par mujhko yakeen aa gaya.
 


Ek Baat 
(comes when their journey with Laila comes to an end and depicts the feelings of Arjun's heart) 



Ek baat honthon tak hai jo aai nahin
 
bus aankhon se hai jhaankti
 
tumse kabhi mujhse kabhi
 
kuch lafz hai wo maangti
 
jinko pahan ke honthon tak aa jaye wo
 
aawaz ki baahon mein baahein daal ke ithlaye wo
 
lekin ye jo ek baat hai
 
ehsaas hi ehsaas hai
 
khushboo si hai jaise hawa mein tairti
 
khushboo jo be-aawaz hai
 
jiska pata tumko bhi hai jiski khabar mujhko bhi hai
 
duniya se bhi chhupta nahin
 
ye jaane kaisa raaz hai
 


Zinda Ho Tum 
(The poem comes in the climax) 



Dilon mein tum apni betaabiyan leke chal rahe ho, toh zinda ho tum
 
Nazar mein khwaabon ki bijliyan leke chal rahe ho, toh zinda ho tum
 

Hawa ke jhokon ke jaise aazad rehna seekho
 
Tum ek dariya ke jaise lehron mein behna seekho
 
Har ek lamhe se tum milo khole apni baahein
 
Har ek pal ek naya samaa dekhiye
 

Jo apni aankhon mein hayraniyan leke chal rahe ho, toh zinda ho tum
 
Dilon mein tum apni betaabiyan leke chal rahe ho, toh zinda ho tum
