He is the soft ripple of the sea
And I’m the dead water underneath
How do we meet?
We may never meet

The Ups and Downs
The Pebbles and Stones
The Ladders and Thorns
Oh! The endless exulting verses
Rejoicing steps and rehearses
Oh! The enthralling lies
Of warriors in the battlefield of life
Oh! The glorifying acclamation
Romanticising fallen hopes and ambitions
What victory?
What glory?
What hopes?
When all have one path
One rise, One fall
Can we live life,
For once and for all,
Not being brave
But living,
A simple mortal journey to our grave?

Please maintain some distance
Covid is over,
My life isn’t!

Kafi waqt se dekh rahi hoon
Jab sab raat ki chader odh kar
sapno ki duniya mein chale jaate hai
Wo ek khidki se nikal rahi roshni
kabhi nahi bujhti
Lagta hai koi khwaab bun raha hai

आज वो किताब मिला मुझे
वही जो एक बार तुमने लिया था
ऐसे तो मैं अपनी नई किताबे किसको नहीं देती
पर तुम्हें दे दिया था ये सोच कर की, चलो, एक और बहाना मिल जाएगा तुमसे वापस मिलने का।

वो किताब अभी भी परी है मेरे पास
पढ़ा नहीं है मेने
बस कभी कभी, हल्के से पन्ने पलट लेती हूँ,
तुम्हारे उंगलियों का एहसास महसूस करने के लिए।

Aaj wo kitaab mila mujhe
Wahi jo ek baar tumne liya tha
Aise toh main apni nayi kitaabein kisiko nahi deti
Par tumhe de diya tha
Ye soch kar ki, chalo, ek aur bahana mil jayega tumse wapas milne ka


Wo kitaab avi bhi pari hai mere paas
Padha nahi hai mene
Bas kabhi kabhar, halke se panne palta leti hoon
Tumhare ungliyon ka ehsaas mehsoos karne ke liye

I feel better.
Those skying waves
Of the wild ocean
Have lowered now
There are ripples,
Of course
The wind, sometimes,
Rises the subdued storm
But now,
It's not that bad
I sense it howling
Desperate and restless
Holding on to the wind
To take it on a ride again
Soaring to the heights again
Not again, I console
'The wind, is but a traveler
And you, just another harbour
Don't let it raise your foolish hopes
For it leaves, just soon as it comes.'

As Indians,
We have a Mother who traded the life of poor with conversions.
And a Father who struggled, well starved, only to gain a political edge at the cost of thousands of life.

Depression is a badge we proudly wear and show it off by sharing dark memes

The Prince bent over to her
bedside and placed a soft
delicate kiss on her forehead.
On pulling himself back up,
he was surprised to see her
eyes still closed,
sleeping undisturbed.
Well, Of course it was
a Sunday Morning!!!
