bas thoda intazaar...

woh mude hue panne meri diary ke
woh kuch adhkhule, adhpadhe khat meri daraz mein
woh phate hue kaagaz meri uss kitaab ke
woh sookhe hue phool meri mez par
mujhe bas unki yaad dilata hai...

woh mera kuch bikhra hua kaajal
woh bikhre hue se baal
woh soona soona sa kamra
sunsaan sa woh mera makaan
mujhe bas unki yaad dilata hai...

kal raat phir unki yaadon ne aa jakda tha
kal raat hi main chup chup ke kuch royi thi
kal raat hi unse do chaar baatein karke
kal raat bas do hi ghadi main soyi thi...

"main paas hi toh hoon tumhare" yeh baat unone kahi thi
"bas kuch hi din aur" yeh dilaasa bhi toh diya tha.
isi wajah se aaj tak intazaar karti hoon main
warna toh kab ka dum tod diya tha...

When the odds met

My eyes moved from the first row and it got stuck to the second last seat by the window in the left. It was empty and it looked cozy and welcoming. The bus I just boarded for home was practically empty with just a few college students and 3-4 elderly people sitting here and there leaving the back of the bus alone..in darkness..    The untimely shower had made some people miserable and had disintegrated their lives leaving the streets deserted and making the city look like a distant, sleepy suburb at 8 PM. But they had to admit, the rains left its beauty behind washing up the unbearable dust and bringing down the temperature for people to take a sigh of a short lived relief. I loved it.    Leaving everyone behind, I reached to the seat that I had already assigned to myself inside my head. As I settled down after folding my 3-fold umbrella messily and trying to dry off the marks of the rain from my soaking head and arms I dunked my head inside my bag searching for the

And this what we call is ‘life’

No, I am not a corporate bug. Neither am I a desk and chair person. I am a person who likes not to be bound and left to a computer to work on data, numbers and figures. But being in a society that only likes security and stability in all the spheres of their lives I am trying to stick around.    I opted for a course that offered me a platform to pursue my dream of freedom and creativity. But lesser did I know that it is seldom going to come handy in my future.  I had a raging fantasy about being independent and strong, outgoing and free with a mission in my head and lots more to do. To write a book or rather a memoir, travel to unknown lands with just the camera in my hand (oh yes I can click to save myself!), live alone and cook myself, meet or maybe just observe new people as I am not a very talkative one here, collect numerous souvenirs from places I traveled, create a new memory every day.   So, as decided and worked upon, I even got a few chances to fulfill the dream o

A COCOON FOR THE TWO

It always confused her. She did not know how to respond to these questions. She had never seen her father. It was just her ‘Ma’ and her since the events of her life had unfolded and left marks on her. She always wondered the root of questions like, “what does your father do?” or “what’s your father’s name” or “where is your father”. She simply did not know how to answer them. While on the primal stages of her life she would stare at her mother wondering what was going on who would save her from the horror and control the situation. Later on after gaining the insight about it, she would simply tell people what ‘Ma’ told her father used to do. Not having a father or father like figure never had bothered her, it didn't matter. ‘Ma’ was her life, her friend, philosopher her guide. Her whole life was centered around the women who bore her, gave birth to her and was with her on every recollection of her life. She used to see children her age with a man along with their mothers.
