My mother tongue
doesn't contain words
but a long silence
that I learnt
over nine months.

I missed it so much
that I cried like a baby
when the rasp
of this world
hit my ears.

Until death unites me
with that eternal silence,
for now, I speak it when
I work for myself
or I love you.

पहला स्टार्टप और पहले प्यार में
एक ही फ़र्क़ होता है —

एक स्टार्टप करने के बाद दूसरी बार
स्टार्टप करने में ज़रा सा भी डर नहीं लगता है

लेकिन एक बार प्यार करने के बाद
हर बार प्यार करने में बड़ा डर लगता है

वो क्या है ना मौत तो दोनों में भयानक ही आती है
बस प्यार में थोड़ी मौत रह सी जाती है

ANATOMY OF A POEM

When I sit down to write a poem,
I am mostly clueless. I start to
scan the almirah of memories
I have and pick and choose
moments that make the cut.
What makes the cut, you ask.
Well, moments that are not dramatic,
that are simple, personal & memorable.

Like how my sister loses the cap
of every bottle she drinks water from,
how my mother joins hands to pray to
Sai Baba that appears on her FB feed
three times a day, how my father loves
Jagjit Singh with the passion of a stalker,
downloading every YouTube video of his.

When I sit down to write a poem,
I feel as if I'm spending time with
my favourite folks once again.

I like the word December.

It is not as abrupt as May,
not as convoluted as February,
doesn’t carry the promise of August,
nor the effervescence of April,
not even the resolution of March
nor the boredom of June & July.

De-cem-ber. Simple and happy.
Like a goodbye to a traveller.

It makes the end
sound short yet long enough.
This is how ends should be.

There is so little space
inside your heart
that I have to break mine
in pieces before finding
a home in yours.

मैं सहेजकर रखूँगी
अपनी कविताओं में,
ठण्डक की भोर में
कुहासे से छनकर आती
मद्धिम रोशनी.....
ऊँघते आसमान तले
ठिठुरते पेड़.....
ओस की चमकीली बूँदों के बीच
झिलमिलाती हरियाली.....
बारिश की फुहारों में
पेड़ों के झुरमुटों पर टहलती
ठण्डी हवा....
क्या पता
कब लुप्तप्राय हो जाएँ
प्रकृति की इतनी ख़ूबसूरत रचनाएँ
इस आधुनिक होती दुनिया में !

HOSPITAL PROPOSAL

'Will you marry me?'
'You want to marry me! Really? Despite knowing everything?'

'Your HIV+ is not everything. It's just a small part of you. We'll take care of it.'
