SOMETIMES..

By -
Sometimes it is not the people or the place
neither it is you or that pretty face,

Sometimes it is not the song or the music
it is neither the colors nor the smiles

no reason or intention and yet  you become docile..

Sometimes it is not the air or the light
still you find yourself in a strange fight,

You want to see through things but in every way find yourself tight..

Sometimes it is not the water or the tides
neither it is the road nor its dubious ways

You want to remain in solitaire and yet amongst the noise your mind stays..

Sometimes it is not the clouds or thunder
it is neither the stars nor their flickering

You just want to break away and search your silver lining..

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

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...
