Kaunsa kinara chorkar aye ho,
Ki behte dariya mein dar badar kinare dhund rahe ho

Hissing is necessary,
When frogs start dancing on the snake's back
When people say hello
Only to know if you won or lost
Hissing them away is necessary,
To set boundaries

-

So scared, so tensed
What's next?
I don't know
And I can't know!
All I can do is hope and word hard

This diwali is not like the previous one
Pinky aunty light up her balcony with the same twinkling lights
The orange packet of soan papdi is also familiar
Even the big rangoli near the main entrance has the same design
But they replaced the colour red with the one which is white
'Who could run out of colours this season' I wonder
The smell of burning crackers, kids being loud and happy
The November breeze and the flickering of diya flame,
It's all the same

But this diwali doesn't feel like the previous one
Since my heart laves with memories of the past.
The yellow kurta of yours, which I washed and pressed
I remember the alluring view, how my heart skipped a beat when I saw you
How heavenly you looked wearing that, the most handsome man in this world!
The wrinkles around your eyes when you smiled at me
Your happy face - The most magical thing ever
Your glowy eyes and calm face through the light of the diyas
Your voice, wish I could hear it till eternity
Right now, I can do anything to bring you back
This diwali you are gone,
But your soul resides

There is always a moment when life mocks you so badly that your dreams, ambitions, years of hardwork, ego, love, values, opinions and everything destroys, every moment, in every step.
That is the moment when you too stop talking life seriously and say "f*uck it!"
That's the happiest moment of your life!

-

You have love inside you
That's why you're hurting
It indeed is difficult
To keep something so precious

-

Showed the colour blind my rainbow
Of course he didn't see anything in me

-

I remember that night when I told you about how everyone ever has left me all alone
The next moment I remember you were gone

-

A cycle of struggles
When one journey ends,
Another starts
Then you have new struggles

-

Sometimes I try to write
But words don't come easy these days
