it's there
in an empty space of
remembrance
your skin, bones
and fluid silence
breaking beneath
the ebb and flow
in another dimension
not so far away

My
homecoming,
at the time I had no
home, was welcomed
here. The place, where I
was return to my own self,
after months of wandering
in a void. The place, where
my mind and soul unite.
Now when I leave for
Writer's block,
unhomelines
calls be back
again &
again .

The child inside me longed to be
the woman I am, today.
Meanwhile, the girl within seems to
have lost her way home.-
"We wander in our thousands over
the face of the earth, the illustrious
and the obscure, earning beyond
the seas our fame, our money, or only
a crust of bread; but it seems to me
that for each of us going home must be
like going to render an account."
- Joseph Conrad, Lord Jim

Last time I left Delhi,
I didn't just leave Delhi.
This time I'm returning,
It's just Delhi I'm returning to.-
बीते सालों में कुछ हाल बदल सा गया है मेरे शहर का,
वो सड़के बदल गईं,
उन सड़कों के किनारे दुकान बदल गए,
उन दुकानों के बीच मकान बदल गए,
सब चेहरे बदल गए,
वो शाम वाले पहरे बदल गए,
लोगों का आना-जाना बदल गया,
मिलना- मिलाना बदल गया,
बस नही बदला तो,
ट्रेन से उतर रिक्शे पर बैठ सब बदले बदले नज़ारे देखते,
वो अपने स्कूल से निकलते छोटे बच्चों में अपने बचपन का चेहरा देखते,
वो चाय की टपरी पे बैठे लोगों में अपने दोस्त ढूंढ़ते,
वो खेल के मैदान में बदले हुए खिलाड़ी देखते,
नहीं बदली वो स्टेशन से घर तक पंहुचने की ख़ुशी!-
Often the love one has for something isn't measured by how one feels while parting with it, but while uniting after parting.
