हम मिले ही कब थे?
Yeh kahaani kisi shikve ki nahi hai, na hi kisi ko doshi thehrane ki. Yeh kahaani kisi ko jeet lene ya haar jaane ke baare mein bhi nahi hai. Yeh toh us khamosh sweekaar ki daastaan hai, jahan insaan yeh samajh jaata hai ki har rishta zindagi bhar saath nibhaane ke liye nahi aata. Kuch log hamari zindagi ke aasmaan mein un toot-te taaron ki tarah aate hain, jo khud toh kho jaate hain, par humein andhere mein raasta dikha jaate hain. Woh aate hain taaki humein thoda behtar insaan bana saken, hamari rooh ko thoda aur maanj saken, aur phir chupchaap apni manzilon ki taraf nikal jaayein. Agar is kahaani ka koi pal, koi shabd ya koi sannata aapko aapki zindagi ke aaine jaisa lage, agar aapko mehsoos ho ki yeh peeda, yeh intezaar aur yeh adhoorapan kahin na kahin aapka apna hai, toh samajh lijiye— aapki woh kahaani akeli nahi thi. Mohan ki tarah na jaane kitne hi log aaj bhi guitar ke un taaron par wahi ek sawaal gunguna rahe hain…
aakhir, “Hum mile hi kab the?”
