“मोदी को बोलो”

मोदी ने सुन लिया है…
सिंदूर की कीमत अदा होगी…

अहंकार जब टूटता है…
खामोशी चुभती है।

ज़लील सोच समझ कर करना क्यूँकि
समय को काल बनने में शण भर का भी समय नहीं लगता।

I am a lucky girl
Everything always works out for me.
Good things come my way every day.
Everything I desire desires me even
more.

Murky were the skies..
Strong were the gusts of wind..
Brutal were the tides..
Amidst the cacophony of chaos
laughed the hyenas..
The Lion stood up, unfurling his mane..
Roared as he took the first step..
Ready to bear the brunt of times..

-

ज़रा अपने कंधों से हटा दो उन उलझनों को…
के उस बोझ तले झुक रहे हो तुम।

जाने दो अब उन्हें…
के चलने से ज़्यादा रेंग रहे हो तुम।

माथे पे शिकंज, हाथों में छाले और
आँखों में सपनों की जगह सूनापन लिए…
क्या सही में ज़िंदा हो तुम?

An Autumn Noon

I sat in my sister’s balcony on an uneventful Autumn Noon
Contrary to it being Noon, the skyline was murky & cool
The breeze blowing by was poised & graceful
Almost reminiscing the sweet onset of winters back home
Amidst the low rumble of the Purple Line Metro & the scattered low honks of the bikes & cars driving by
I watched the trees dance while the bees pollinated its sweet white blossoms
A squirrel playing peek-a-boo on its branches
The dragonflies joining in on with the birds chirping & fluttering by
As if raising their hats to me, saying “Hello!”
I watched & watched as Life happened by

~Bluebellvine III~

Amidst the cacophony of her daughter & her husband discussing the ongoing FIFA World Cup & her second son engrossed in watching a YouTube compilation video of his favourite sitcom, she couldn't help but notice the silence in her eldest son's eyes in the dining space. He wasn't his normal self, she could sense. So she tried offering a second helping of his favourite Egg recipe. He obliged. Masking his silent eyes. She smiled at him, trying to assure her eldest born. She didn't know what to do. Although, she has been a mother of triplets for 17 years now. But being a parent isn't a 3 month crash course. It's a lifelong journey. You grow with your kids. So, after dinner she turned to her husband while lying down & asked him, "Did you notice... Shivansh wasn't his normal self tonight." And, with a frown on his face he replied, "Really? I didn't notice that .. it must be some teenage drama in school, he will get over it soon, I am sure " He assured her. But her mind ticked. Ticked the whole night. It could be some teenage drama afterall. She has been baring the brunt of 3 teenage kids for a while now & forcibly closed her mind somewhere around 4:37 am...

जिस राह पे हम चल पड़े हैं
कुछ हमराही छुट गए कुछ छुट जाएंगे
कुछ जाने पहचाने चेहरे फिर साथ निभाएंगे
तो कुछ अनजान हसीन चेहरे मिलजाएंगे

साथ अगर छूटे किसी खास का
अपनी रह न छोड़ना
बस यह समझलेना
के उसे कहीं और है जाना।

From trying to fit in
To being who I am

From following a herd
To being a Lone Wolf

It's one hell of a journey!

And just like that....
I fell in love with myself...
My own skin...
My face...
My smile...
My body...
My soul...


Something that I never thought
would happen anytime soon!

It's magical!
