मुझे नहीं लगता कि मैं दूसरे लोगों से अलग हूँ। मेरे भी वही सपने हैं। मैं एक परिवार चाहता हूँ। एक घर चाहता हूँ। एक कार। मैं ऐसा क्यों न चाहूँ? हर कोई चाहता है। और जब वह सब मुझे मिल जाए, तो मैं चाहता हूँ कि वह सब ठीक से काम करे।

I don't think I am any different from other people. I have the same dreams. I want a family. I want a house. A car. Why shouldn't I want that? Everybody does. And when I have it, I want it all to work.

मुझे बहुत ज़्यादा कुछ नहीं चाहिए। बस मैं ठीक रहना चाहता हूँ। मैं ढेरों अच्छे पलों और मस्ती के साथ एक सीधी-साधी ज़िंदगी जीना चाहता हूँ।

I don't want all that much. But I want to be fine. I want to live a simple life with many good moments and a lot of fun.

...मैं लोगों से मिलना नहीं चाहता। वे मुझेि चिढ़ाते हैं। और ज़्यादा। लेकिन मुझे दूध की ज़रूरत है।

…I don’t wish to meet people. They disgust me. Increasingly so. But I must have milk.

मेरे पास काम की जानकारियों से जुड़ी ही काफ़ी मुश्किलें हैं, बेकार की बातों का बोझ ढोना तो दूर की बात है।

I have enough trouble with useful information, never mind being burdened with what is useless.

मेरे दिमाग में बड़े अजीब-अजीब ख्याल आते हैं, शायद मुझे उन्हें लिखना नहीं चाहिए।

I have the strangest thoughts in my head, maybe I should not write them down.

मैं बहुत कुछ जानता हूँ। अकेला मैं ही नहीं हूँ जो ये बातें जानता हूँ। बहुत से लोग मुझसे ज़्यादा जानते हैं। गनीमत है कि यह मेरी समस्या नहीं है। मेरी समस्या यह है कि मैं इसका क्या करूँ। मैं इसका क्या करूँ? यह उलझन में डालने वाला है।

I know a helluva lot. I'm not the only one who knows these things. Many people know more than I do. That's fortunately not my problem. My problem is what I am supposed to use it for. What do I do with it? It's confusing.

मुझे अभी भी नहीं पता कि चीज़ें आपस में जुड़ी हैं या नहीं, या अंत में सब ठीक हो जाएगा या नहीं। लेकिन मेरा मानना ​​है कि हर चीज़ का कोई न कोई मतलब होता है। मैं हँसी-मज़ाक और खेलों के ज़रिए आत्मा की शुद्धि में विश्वास रखता हूँ। मैं प्यार में भी विश्वास रखता हूँ। और मेरे कई अच्छे दोस्त हैं, और सिर्फ़ एक बुरा दोस्त है।

I still don't know if things fit together, or if everything will be all right in the end. But I believe that something means something. I believe in cleansing the soul through fun and games. I also believe in love. And I have several good friends, and just one bad one.

मुझे लगता है कि मैं बीच-बीच की तमाम चीज़ों से ज़्यादा उन चीज़ों से जुड़ा हूँ जो बहुत बड़ी हैं या बहुत छोटी हैं।

I think I'm more concerned with things that are very big and things that are very small than with all the stuff in between.

मेरे लिए यह देखना अच्छा है कि मेरे अलावा और भी बहुत से लोग हैं। कि यहाँ इतने सारे अन्य लोग हैं। मुझे उनके प्रति अपनापन महसूस होता है। उनमें से ज़्यादातर अपनी तरफ़ से पूरी कोशिश कर रहे हैं। मैं भी अपनी तरफ़ से पूरी कोशिश कर रहा हूँ।

It's good for me to see so many other people who are not me. That there are so many others. I feel affection for them. Most of them are doing the best they can. I am also doing the best I can.

लोगों के साथ एक समस्या यह है कि जैसे ही वे किसी जगह को भरते हैं, आपको वे ही दिखाई देते हैं, वह जगह नहीं। विशाल, वीरान landscapes (नज़ारे) तब तक विशाल और वीरान नहीं रहते जब तक उनमें लोग आ जाते हैं। वे वही तय करते हैं जो आँखें देखती हैं। और इंसानी आँखें लगभग हमेशा दूसरे इंसानों की तरफ़ ही देखती रहती हैं। इस तरह यह भ्रम पैदा होता है कि इंसानी चीज़ें इस धरती की उन चीज़ों से ज़्यादा महत्वपूर्ण हैं जो इंसानी नहीं हैं। यह एक बीमार भ्रम है।

One problem with people is that as soon as they fill a space it's them you see and not the space. Large, desolate landscapes stop being large, desolate landscapes once they have people in them. They define what the eye sees. And the human eye is almost always directed at other humans. In this way an illusion is created that humans are more important than those things on earth which are not human. It's a sick illusion.

कुछ न कुछ तो होना ही पड़ेगा। ज़रूरी नहीं कि कोई बहुत बड़ी बात हो। बस कुछ भी हो।

Something is going to have to happen. Not necessarily something big. Just something.

Something is going to have to happen. Not necessarily something big. Just something.

सच्चा सवाल तो बस यही होना चाहिए: क्या हालात बेहतर हो रहे हैं या बदतर हो रहे हैं?

The only question that really counts, must be thins one: are things getting better or are they getting worse?

The only question that really counts, must be thins one: are things getting better or are they getting worse?

किसी भी समय मैं जिस एकमात्र चीज़ के बारे में आश्वस्त हो सकता हूँ, वह यह है कि मैं खुद क्या सोच रहा हूँ। मुझे कोई अंदाज़ा नहीं है कि दूसरे क्या सोच रहे हैं। क्या उन्हें लगता है कि अंतरिक्ष विशाल और खतरनाक है? मुझे तो ऐसा ही लगता है। वे किस बात में विश्वास रखते हैं? मुझे लगता है कि किसी को भी अकेला नहीं होना चाहिए। कि किसी के साथ होना चाहिए। दोस्तों के साथ। उस व्यक्ति के साथ जिससे आप प्यार करते हैं। मुझे लगता है कि प्यार करना महत्वपूर्ण है। मुझे लगता है कि यह सबसे महत्वपूर्ण चीज़ है।

The only thing I can be sure of at any given time is what I am thinking myself. I have no idea what the others are thinking. Do they think space is big and dangerous? I do. What do they believe in? I think nobody ought to be alone. That one should be with someone. With friends. With the person one loves. I think it is important to love. I think it's the most important thing.

वहाँ बहुत सारी उलझन में डालने वाली चीज़ें मौजूद हैं। ऐसी चीज़ें जिन्हें मैं जानता हूँ। ऐसे विचार जो मेरे मन में आते हैं। व्यंग्य। ऐसी चीज़ें जो मुझे लगता है कि मुझे करनी चाहिए और ऐसी जगहें जहाँ मुझे जाना चाहिए। हमेशा कोई न कोई दूसरी जगह।

There are too many confusing things present. Things I know. Thoughts I have. Sarcasm. Things I think I ought to be doing and places I ought to be going. Always other places.

...ब्रह्मांड में आकाशगंगाओं की कुल संख्या लगभग दस अरब है, और उनमें से प्रत्येक में सूरज के आकार के लगभग सौ अरब तारे हैं। ये संख्याएँ इतनी बेतुकी हैं कि अजीब बात है कि इनसे मेरा मूड अच्छा हो जाता है। सब कुछ इतना विशाल है। मुझे लगता है कि पॉल को भी कुछ ऐसा ही महसूस होता है। बदलाव लाने के लिए मैं बहुत कम कर सकता हूँ। यह मुक्तिदायक है।

...the total number of galaxies in the universe seems to be in the region of ten billion, and that each of them has about a hundred billion stars the size of the sun. These numbers are so absurd that I strangely find myself in a good mood. It's all so immense. I think Paul feels a bit like this as well. There is so little I can do to make a difference. It is liberating.

हम कभी नहीं मिलेंगे, लेकिन मैं चाहता हूँ कि आप एक बात जानें। मेरा समय आपके समय जैसा नहीं है। हमारे समय एक जैसे नहीं हैं। और क्या आप जानते हैं कि इसका क्या मतलब है? इसका मतलब यह है कि समय का कोई अस्तित्व नहीं है। क्या आप चाहते हैं कि मैं इसे दोहराऊँ? कोई समय नहीं है। जीवन और मृत्यु है। लोग और जानवर हैं। हमारे विचार मौजूद हैं। और दुनिया भी। ब्रह्मांड भी। लेकिन समय नाम की कोई चीज़ नहीं है। आप चाहें तो आराम से रह सकते हैं। क्या अब आपको बेहतर लग रहा है? मुझे बेहतर लग रहा है। यह सब ठीक हो जाएगा। आपका दिन शुभ हो।

We shall never meet, but there is something I want you to know. My time is not the same as your time. Our times are not the same. And do you know what that means? That means that time does not exist. Do you want me to repeat that? There is no time. There is a life and a death. There are people and animals. Our thoughts exist. And the world. The universe, too. But there is no time. You might as well take it easy. Do you feel better now? I feel better. This is going to work out. Have a nice day.

जिसकी मुझे वास्तव में ज़रूरत है, वह है कोई बड़ी उम्र का व्यक्ति। एक मार्गदर्शक। जो मुझे बता सके कि चीज़ें आपस में कैसे जुड़ी हैं। वह मुझसे ऐसे काम करने को कहता जिसे मैं अर्थहीन समझता। मैं अधीर हो जाता और विरोध करता, लेकिन फिर भी उन्हें करता। और आखिरकार, महीनों की कड़ी मेहनत के बाद, मुझे एहसास होता कि इसके पीछे एक गहरा अर्थ था, और गुरु की एक चालाक योजना थी।

What I could really use is an older man. A mentor. One who could tell me how things fit together. He would have asked me to do chores that I felt were meaningless. I would have been impatient and protested, but done them nonetheless. And eventually, after several months of hard labour, I would have realised that there was a deeper meaning behind it all, and that the master had a cunning plan all the time.

जब ब्रह्मांड नश्वर है, तो आसानी से यह महसूस हो सकता है कि मानव अस्तित्व का कोई अर्थ नहीं है। मैं कुछ भी क्यों करूँ? दूसरी ओर, इसमें से सबसे अच्छा निकालने की कोशिश करना भी लुभावना है। आख़िरकार मैं यहीं हूँ। अगर मैं यह कल्पना करने की कोशिश करूँ कि इसके अलावा मैं कहाँ होता, तो मेरी कल्पना जवाब दे जाती।

When the universe is ephemeral, one can easily feel that human existence is meaningless. Why should I do anything at all? On the other hand it is tempting to try and make the best of it. I'm here, anyway. The imagination won't cope if I try to picture where I'd otherwise be.

लेकिन मैं बर्फ़ पसंद करूंगा। बर्फ़ ही एकमात्र ऐसा मौसम है जो मुझे सचमुच पसंद है। बर्फबारी से ज़्यादा कोई चीज़ मेरा मूड ठीक नहीं करती। मैं खिड़की के पास घंटों बैठकर इसे गिरते हुए देख सकता हूँ। बर्फबारी की वह खामोशी। आप उसका आनंद ले सकते हैं। यह तब सबसे अच्छी लगती है जब पीछे कोई रोशनी हो, जैसे सड़क का कोई लैंप। या जब आप बाहर जाकर इसे अपने ऊपर धीरे-धीरे गिरने देते हैं। असली अमीरी तो यही है।

But I would rather have snow. Snow is the on.y weather I really like. Nothing makes me less grumpy than snow. I can sit by a window for hours watching it fall. The silence of snowfall. You can use that. It's best when there's background lighting, for example a street lamp. Or when you go outside and let it flutter down on you. That's real riches, that is.

मुझे अचानक सब कुछ अर्थहीन लगने लगा। मेरी अपनी ज़िंदगी, दूसरों की ज़िंदगी, जानवरों और पौधों की ज़िंदगी, पूरी दुनिया। अब सब कुछ बेमेल हो गया था।

Everything seemed meaningless to me. All of a sudden. My own life, the lives of others, of animals of plants, the whole world. It no longer fitted together.

जो कुछ भी इंसानी है, वह मुझे बेगाना लगता है।

Everything which is human is alien to me.
