Chocolates are confections for many
Privilege for some
Some of the dark secrets of the dark chocolates lie in those dark lanes
where,
So many little fingers are deprived of the taste
Bitter truth of this sweet,
Sometimes makes it insipid for me!

लगता तो नहीं
की तुम नहीं हो
हर लम्हा लगता है तुम यहीं हो
ये जो अभी मेरे चेहरे पर लटे आ गई थी
जैसे तुमने ही उंगलियां फेरी हो
लगता तो नहीं तुम नहीं हो...

-

तुम
जाने की ज़िद्द करते हो
पता तो तुम्हे भी है
लौट कर घर ही आओगे

-

हर ज़र्रा ज़र्रा हवा का
चिलचिलाती कड़ी धूप के बाद

The Scorching heat of sun fails to alter it's growth
Neither drought
Nor rainfall
Succeeds in uprooting it
Loving you is like loving a cactus
It flourishes even in the most difficult situations
It doesn't demands favourable conditions
On the contrary
It stands strong in the most adverse environment
Loving you is like loving a cactus
It's unique
Effortless
And not everyone's cup of tea

एक एक कर के
पेड़ से पत्ते गिरते गए
शाख को खाली करते रहे
वो पेड़ मातम मनाने ही वाला था
की
लोगो ने नाचते हुए कहा
वाह!
बसंत आने वाला है

Of late I have forgotten how to converse
As every single word I speak
Puts finger on my lips
Staring at me with its wet eyes
The words cover my mouth
More fiercely every passing second
As if they are trying to protect me
From being judged
From going in to the deep well of salty water,which gets deeper night by night
As if they are trying to
Veil my vulnerability
Like a palpitating mother
Who identifies the danger coming towards her child
Of late I have forgotten how to converse
For,no one conversates to just converse these days!

एक पैकेट राशन
दस खाली पेट
पचास देनेवाले हाथ
और
हजारों तस्वीरें
भूख की भी अपनी एक अलग कहानी है ।
