TiCK ToCK TiCK


Clock’s ticking…
Bang…it’s “00:00”
Echoes of hostel birthday songs
Buzzing in my ears…
In the never ending silence of the night…
While I’m reading Dickens’ in my solitary study…
It’s “03:00”…
And a blur picture of two girls gossiping
on the terrace… is fading away
somewhere along the long deserted road
While I’m gazing out of
my bed room window…
It’s “08:00”
Long lines in the washroom…
is dwindling away… 
in the stirs of my hot coffee
While rushing for the office…
It’s “09:00”…
A picture of a bunch of students
speeding up near the canteen to
avoid late attendance…
is tailing off somewhere…
In the mad traffic of Mumbai…
It’s “11:00”…
A sketch of lousy class room…
is fainting away… in the pile of
Files evenly stacked on my table…
It’s “13:00”
A long rail of girls clamoring for chapattis…
is getting amalgamated with live media music
of my office café…
It’s “18:00”…
And a flick of the gang of baski chaps
Dodging and shooting in the court…
is fading away… with my hurtling
On the trade mill in the office gym…
Clock’s ticking away…
And my head is jamming up between
The current and upcoming…
And am getting amazed…
By the fact…how life’s gonna be…
                                                                                 once this will be over…

As these days I'm having much of the free time...so my mind is babbling around doing strange stuffs..today I started roaming around the whole world in my imagination indeed as I don't have any other option so I started googling and ended up with the following stuff which I thought of sharing with you all...so pack your bags and move around...:) 10) UNITED KINGDOM UK holidays are at their peak and this trend is set to continue for some time to come.

गर्मियों की छुट्टियाँ

दो महीने की लम्बी छुट्टियाँ , दादी और नानी के घर पर बिताती ... रात को दादी की राजा- रानी की कहानियों में , खुद को  राजकुमारी मान कर ,  अपने ही सपनों में खो कर, सो  जाती ...    सुबह उठ कर, नानी के संग पूजा की थाली , फूलों से  सजाती और  उन के भजनों, के दो-चार शब्द  जो समझ आते, उन के साथ गुन-गुना कर बड़ी  खुश  हो जती ...  दादा के संग बजार घुमने जाती, और पड़ोस के चाचा की दुकान  पर   बैठे, लोगो को,  राम- राम साहब कह के,  उन से चार  टॉफ़ी पा कर , अपनी फ्हराक की छोटी-छोटी जेबॆए भर  लाती  ... दोपहर को नाना के संग ताश खेलती,  और कागज के गुलाम- बादशाहों  की  अनोखी दुनिया में खो कर, नाना की गोदी के तकिये पर,  सर रख कर सो जाती ... शाम को चाचा- चाची और मामा-मामी,  वाले दीदी-भईया के संग  लुक्का-छुप्पी  खेलती, और सब को भाग- भाग कर पकड़ लेती ... आज भ...

Stereotyped

Don’t let the stereotypes typecast you Into a little girl , Who can play only with dolls and not toy-cars… Who can’t play cricket, Just because they say it’s a boy’s game… Into a young teenage girl, Who drops out of school sports team, And joins dance classes instead, Because it’s graceful enough… Into an adolescent girl, Who is stalked over and over, Until she gives in to be in a relationship, Because that’s how the popular movies define persuasion… Into a corporate lady, Who fears to be aggressive for all the right reasons, As she might be judged as "too bossy" for all the wrong ones… Into a girl turning to a marriageable age, And is supposed to leave her job, Because that’s how she is supposed to be, A care giver and not a bread earner… No supernatural power will come for our rescue, The supernatural is all within, Recognizing that supernatural is the super power… Don’t let the stereotypes typecast you, Just be t...
