It's freedom from fear of violence.
It's freedom from state of lawlessness.
It's freedom from the utter confusion.
It's freedom from the mobocracy.
It's freedom from the social bondages.
It's freedom from feudalism.
It's freedom from the uncertainties.
It's freedom from the underlying angst.

I want peace.
I want to be free.

आँखे मेरी नम है आज
दिल में एक गम है आज।

शब्दों में दर्द को बयां किया नहीं जा रहा
अपनो के बिछड़ने का दर्द सहा नहीं जा रहा।

कब तक खून की ये होली यूँही खेलते रहेंगे
कब तक वतन के जवान यूँही शहीद होतें रहेंगे।

किसी का भाई, किसी का शौहर
किसी का बाप तो किसी का बेटा था वो

शरहद पर मरने वाला सिपाही ।
भारत माँ का सच्चा सपूत था वो।

कुर्बानी तुम्हारी ये यूँही व्यर्थ नही जाएगी
चिंगारी जल चुकी है,अब लंका दहन की जाएगी।

reading raj comics and exchanging it with friends
and
using the pencil to rewind the stucked reel of that cassette and
that seven color rainbow on TV screen when signal can't make its way and
riding on Papa's Bajaj Chetak , standing in front of my father and
watching shaktiman and tale spin on BPL 21 inch color television and
wearing those black Bata and white PT shoes in school
and their are many such memories ..which smell like the fragrance of past
and I am sure I will carry them till I breath my last.

I wrote my first love letter.

I was 18, she was sweet 16
My heart penned down all my feelings,
on a piece of paper which I feared to tell.

-

the dawn to break
Long dejected nights were gone

It's a dawn of new hope
A dawn of new energy

I am running and
chasing my dreams.

Can't wait for the right time
This is the right time for me

I will do it.

But wrapped in tricolor.

My eyes are looking for your smiling face.
My heart is looking for your deary hug.

But It's not you. It's the fallen soldier.
Who promised me

"Either I will come back after hoisting
the tricolor, or I will come back
wrapped in it, but I will be back for sure."

And you kept your promise.

मैं भटक रहा हूँ।
जो दर्द है उसे
बंद मुट्ठी में दबाये हूँ।
अभी तक उम्मीद है कि
मुट्ठी खोल कर
इस दर्द से मुक्त हो पाऊँ
और शायद उस सुकून
को भी पा जाऊँ ।

इन्तेजार है मुझे उसके खुलने का

बस यही दुआ है उस रब से

बस एक दीदार करा दे

मुझे मेरे दिलबर का ।

challenges,

we face in our life

they try to defeat us

they try to break us

they try to teach us

but we don't let him, we learn, we try, we evolve, we fight and and one day we conquer it

Some conversations never end,
Some conversations never usher in.

Some conversations remains latent,
And some becomes newspaper headlines.
