चाहा तो बहुत ना चाहें तुझें,
ना चाहा कभीं,
के तू ना चाहें हमें।

जिस्म माँगता हैं 2 गज ज़मीन,
ख्वाहिशें दफ़्न करने को काग़ज़ की 2 लकीरें काफ़ी हैं।

let her have the
f r e e d o m to f l y.
let her be free
and then you'll see
that she will
c h o o s e to s t a y.

don't cage her in the name of protection or care.
love is,
giving her wings not clinging her to wheel-chair.

maybe that is why it is said:
L o v e i s i n t h e A i r.

O.U.R. G.E.N.E.R.A.T.I.O.N.

We hide our feelings behind emoticons & smileys.
Foolish we act, but we know what we feel precisely.
We don't write stories but instead express in quotes.
We don't treasure letters, we keep memories in screenshots.
We listen to EDMs but love naagin dance on desi dhol.
Romeo-Juliet are history, Virat-Anushka are our relationship goal.

Anti-social in family but never on FB & instagram.
We may not go to temple but always remember 'him' before exams.
Mature we are but wild, young & free we choose to stay.
Messed up may seem but sorted we are, in our own unique way.
We laugh, we cry. We are reckless, we are shy.
Low-waist our jeans but our dreams & values are high.


Been through failures & rejections, even lost the one we know is our soulmate.
But hey we are still smiling, so isn't our generation doing great?

The girl with over 5k followers never got the chance to follow her own dream.

The boy with a thousand likes is still looking for the one to fall in love with.

The one who's videos has over 10k views has no family to look after him.

The introvert who commented 'nice' has actually a million unsaid feelings inside.

The one who keep sharing everyone's posts has no one to share her own thought with.

Often, the grass looks greener on the other side. We fail to see that everyone's fighting their own fight.

Even the moon looks flawless from afar.

"Kya laaya mere liye Diwali pe?"
She always used to ask.


Was in college, basically no income, so I used to look down and say:
''kuch nahi maa, khali haath aya hu".


She used to smile at me and say:
"Khali haath kaha, ye gandey kapdo ka bag hai naa, mere liye ye bhi gift hai".


And yesterday, I came back to my rented flat full of happiness with a 'Diwali Bonus Cheque', showed it to maa on video call and said:
"Maa tere liye".


"Mere liye wo gandey kapdo ka bag he le aata, par beta Diwali pe tu ghar toh aa jata".
She said.

"You wrote a novel for her? Man! So lucky she is.
So are you gonna send the first copy to her?"
- Asked the kid.

If only the heaven had a delivery service.
- He smiled and replied.

-

She fights for her rights.
Yes, she works late at night.

She goes to a bar.
Yes, she perfectly drives her car.

She parties hard, and at times she goes wild.
Yes, but that doesn't makes her a spoiled child.

And yes,

She'll bruise your chauvinist ego, its no big deal.
Yes, she's a girl but she's a girl with nerves of steel.

-

alone.

आजमाती हैं ख्वाइशों को, फिर पलकों पे दफ़न कर देती हैं।
जरुरतें आंखों की ज़मीन नर्म करती हैं, फिर बंजर कर देती हैं।
