DREAM

By -

I came out of my room and sat by the window. Something was unusual today. I was lost into some thoughts. No matter how much I tried, I still couldn’t trace them to their origin! And then a gentle breeze blew around me. what a refreshing touch of this air. I feel new energy flowing. I decided to go out. Packed myself to keep me from catching cold, I stepped foot on the fresh snow outside. It was soft. I look around and I wonder if it’s for real. I am on Himalayas I guess. There are Snow laden peaks, still no fear of frost bite. I think I am dreaming.

 But there is air I can feel it, the softness in its sound it makes when flowing past me, I am sure it’s real. So I walk forth to explore my new haven. I hear a small waterfall not far from where I am. I decide to walk up there. On my way I smell beautiful fragrance, I am sure it is not from around this planet. Whatever, I don’t feel like using rational mind. So I just keep flowing with it.

 If there is heaven then this haven has got to be it. I can now see the waterfall; it is quite small and ends up in a small creek. Suddenly I am up in the air. A well thousand feet above ground and I see everything clearly now. That creek seems like a big blue sapphire from this height. I know not how am I suspended so high, but I trust the nature around me to protect me. So I surrender. I feel relaxed now in the tender and delicate bed as it seems. I look above and a girl smiles at me. I am startled. She is huge but her beauty can’t be expressed. Its beyond and I feel a subtle affection for her. It seemed beyond motherly love yet carries immense respect. I just want to lie forever on that bed of her cupped hands. It’s like I am inside a womb. She keeps on showering her love through her eyes, beautifully shaped, I get lost into them. I want to get lost into them. I do not feel myself; the ‘I’ is gone now. I surrendered to her.

Suddenly a raindrop falls on my forehead. And I wake up. I look around; I am on the roof sitting all by myself. I realize the coffee has fallen a victim of newton’s law cooling. Who cares? I wonder where I was before that drop woke me up.


 And I realize I just came out from a reality into a dream.

भीड़

भीड़ में चलते लगा मैं यह सोचने विचार यह है कितना उचित? जाने अनजाने मिलते हैं रोज़ चेहरे अलग अलग कर रहे कुछ ना कुछ खोज .. मैं जेब में हाथ डाल धीमे क़दमों से मस्तक उठा मंद मंद मुस्काता चलता रहा नज़र मिली तो देखता रहा उन आँखों में छिपी रोज़ की आशाएं और उम्मीदें .. कुछ कंधे झुके हुए तो कुछ खिले हुए से कुछ आँखें चमक रही थी तो कुछ धुंध में रास्ता खोज रही थी मस्ती में अपनी कुछ चल रहे थे तो कुछ मस्त दिखने की कोशिश में और मैं तो अपनी ही धुन में  आस पास देखता हुआ चला जा रहा था.. हर किसी का है अपना ही अस्तित्व ..फिर भी हैं वे सभी ख़ास .. प्रतीत होता है कभी कभी कहीं भ्रम हो यही विचार ! अपने को विशिष्ट समझ मैं भी चल रहा था उस भीड़ में ना जाने कब कौन कहाँ दिखे कोई नहीं जानता कौन साथी मिले इस जीवन खेल में.. मशान की भूमि में तो मिलना ही हम सब ने यह एक नीति है सब की एक ही स्याही से लिखी जो महाकाल ने फिर क्यों भीड़ से डर चलें धुंध में .. गर्व से चलो सत्य की ओर भीड़ हो या डगर सुनसान ही हो |

GROWN UP

By -
I wonder if i have grown, can't recall that dumb twelve year old. had worries to clear the class tests, wanted to score highest , and be called the 'best'. i look down on the flowing sands of time, couldn't see that perfect shine, maybe am wrong, growing up is an illusion it seems so while am high on gong. playing around all day, no care if there were men women or gays. fights with them guys were so naive that reminiscing them,on my face brings a wide smile. the memories from the past are the sun rays on dew, beaming high with hopes, for future that's not so sure. now i realize i have gone further from all that, become carefree and the scores gone all flat, them friends are nowhere, world's got stranger, trusts of past have taken a new form, lonely roads in the heart have become boulevards to tread on.

Camera For Imagination

By -
When I was child free from the worries my father faced; I would sit in one corner of my room with my history books open and reading about the sea journey of Ferdinand Magellan to see if our earth was flat or round and I would start seeing  endless ocean around me with strong sea winds and music of the tides. I could smell the salty water around me and hear it splash hard on my ship. I would see beautiful glowing species of fish deep underwater; their glow brighter than that of sunlight fighting to prove its superiority. I would laugh at the sun and mock him saying," look at those lights brighter than yours". I remember seeing whales twice the size of what they showed on T.V. and I would get scared if this demonic animal would eat my ship with me. But instead of attacking us, it would just smile and swim away. I still remember those deep beautiful eyes of that whale. It had skin tougher than all the leather in the world and shine brighter than brightest of the LEDs. I wo...
