Aaj bhi, jab bhi main apni guitar uthata hoon, ek purani yaad dimaag mein tair jaati hai. Ek yaad, jo kabhi zindagi ka hissa thi. Mera naam Aditya hai, aur main ek musician hoon. Bachpan se hi guitar bajata hoon, lekin jo sabse khaas tha, wo tha mere saath ka band. Band jo sirf ek group of friends tha, lekin ek band ban gaya tha—aur is band ka ek hi dream tha, music ke zariye duniya ko apne rang dikhana.
Sab kuch itna perfect tha, sab kuch itna asaan tha. Toh kya tha jo humne apna music chhod diya?
Aise kai sawal dimaag mein rehte the, lekin jawab kabhi nahi milte the. Us waqt ki ek wajah thi – Nisha.
Bachpan ki dosti se, hum dono ka rishta kuch gehra tha. Nisha meri childhood friend thi, meri first crush bhi. Lekin ek din, jab hum dono thode bade ho gaye, toh humari raaste alag ho gaye. Usne apni life mein kuch aur decide kiya tha, aur main apne music ke peeche bhaag raha tha. Uska mann tha kuch aur karne ka, aur mera tha apni music ka peecha karne ka.
Phir kuch saal guzar gaye, aur hum dono apne-apne duniya mein kho gaye. Mein Mumbai mein apni music career ke peeche bhaag raha tha, aur Nisha ne apni padhai complete kar li thi aur ek corporate job mein chali gayi thi.
Ek din, mujhe ek local music festival ke baare mein pata chala. Festival tha, jahan kuch purane bands ko revive kiya gaya tha, jahan naye aur purane musicians ka milan ho raha tha. Mein jaane ki soch raha tha, lekin ek pal mein, kuch purani yaadon ki leher mein dub gaya.
Aur yahi tha wo moment jab Nisha ka naam samne aaya. Kya pata, wo bhi yahan ho? Kya pata, hum dono ek baar phir mil jayein?
Dil ke kone mein kuch ajeeb si thumki thi. Mein apne aap ko samajhane ki koshish kar raha tha, par ek part tha jo is chance ko kho dena nahi chahta tha.
Aur phir, festival ke din, jab main apni band ke saath stage par gaya, tab Nisha wahan thi.
Woh khadi thi, apne haathon mein ek coffee cup lekar, mere stage ke saamne. Kya sach mein yeh ho raha tha? Kya sach mein, hum dono ek dusre ke saamne khade the, wahi purani yaadein dimaag mein chal rahi thi? Mein jaane kya kar raha tha, aur Nisha ka chehra bilkul waisa hi tha, jaise pehle tha—soft aur innocent. Woh jaise hi meri taraf dekhti hai, meri aankhon mein ek chhupi si muskaan chhup jaati hai.
Phir, hum dono ne ek dusre ko dekha. Us waqt, jo main mehsoos kar raha tha, woh kuch alag tha. Thoda ajeeb, thoda familiar, lekin purana dard bhi tha.
Nisha, kuch sharmate hue, mere paas aayi. “Aditya, tum? Tum ab bhi music kar rahe ho?” uske chehre pe ek halka sa surprise tha.
“Haan, Nisha. Music toh meri jaan hai. Tum, tumne kaha tha na ki corporate world mein ho, sab kuch theek hai?”
Nisha hans kar kehne lagi, “Haan, sab theek hai. Lekin abhi bhi tumhari music ki yaadein saath hain.”
Kuch der baat karte hue, hum dono ko laga ki kuch purani baatein phir se zinda ho rahi thi. Nisha ne kaha, “Aditya, tum jo music banate ho, usme ek apni kahani hoti hai. Tumhe apne sapne pure karne chahiye. Tumhe lagta nahi ki tumhe apni purani band ke saath kuch karna chahiye?”
Uski baat se kuch cheez andar hil gayi. Sach mein, kab se main apne sapno se bhaag raha tha. Meri purani band jo humne sab saath milkar banayi thi, wahi cheez thi jo dil ke kone mein, chhup gayi thi. Aaj Nisha ki baat sun kar, kuch purana jag gaya tha.
Woh kahani jo hum dono ne band ke saath likhi thi, kya wo dobara likhi ja sakti thi? Kya hum apne sapno ka peecha kar sakein?
Hum dono ne milke band ke baare mein socha. Main Mumbai gaya, Nisha ne apna weekend free kiya. Aur hum dono ne apni purani band ko revive kar diya. Is baar, humare sapne chhote nahi the. Humne ek nayi energy ke saath music banaya, aur apne purane saathiyon ke saath milke, naye sapne dekhna shuru kiye.
Yeh sirf music nahi thi, yeh ek naya rishta tha. Ek rishta jo samay ki kathinaiyon ko paar kar chuka tha.
Nisha aur meri kahani ab purani yaadon ka hissa nahi thi, balki naye sapno ki taraf chalne ka ek naya raasta tha. Hum dono apni zindagi mein naye chances lene ke liye tayaar the, apni dosti, apne music, aur apne sapnon ko ek nayi misaal banane ke liye.
Aaj bhi jab main apni guitar uthata hoon, Nisha ka chehra mere saamne hota hai. Us din, music hum dono ko phir se ek saath laaya tha. Aur hum dono jaane ki, is dosti aur pyaar ko hum kabhi nahi khona chahenge.
Duniya ko dikha do ki, jo sach mein humare dil mein hai, woh kabhi kabhi purani yaadon se bhi nayi kahaniyan banata hai.
