DAys Of OuR LiFE


Some days are bright...
Some days are dark...
Some days make you feel
that it’s truly heaven here
Some days prove that
even hell could be better 
When an innocent boy
is taken away from his home
and is doled out with guns
in his little hands...
When a mother loses her son
in some terrorist attack...
When a brother sees his
traumatized sister’s dead body
shattered into pieces...
When a father fails
to prevent his young son from
getting submitted to drugs...
When a wife loses her
Loving husband in a war...
When an Earth quake takes away
Millions of lives in a click’s instant…
But then comes the other days
the days filled up with
Love and care
The days which provide
warmth to the numb hands...
The days which give strength
to roll back against all odds...
The days when all heads are
bowed down in prayers...
The prayers to kiss away
the pain of the humanity...
The prayers which 
know no boundary...
The prayers which know
Only the cause…
Some days are bright
Some days are dark….

We say life’s not fair While complaining about the flavor less food in the mess While we are not able to get a seat to sit on a railway platform While criticizing the system for making us stand in a long queue at a movie theatre We say we are confused Confused of not knowing Which attire to purchase for a friend’s wedding Confused in choosing a restaurant to party Among all these complaints And confusions   Can we all just stop for a moment And look around…   Look around for   the construction worker who is in fact unaware if he will be able to   get two time bread and a room to sleep and relax each morning he wake up... look around for the maid who don’t even have two piece clothing to cover herself up who feels stranded of not being able to buy even a mango on her child’s demand... we say we are bewildered bewildered about which dream to chase and which direction to pursue In between this thought   juggling stop for a moment and look around   look around...

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...

Eternal Bliss

Dazzling drops of sunlight dances on the crystal blue waves of the river, soothing them with their warmth, all through the day... and then the sun sets into the river's eternal depth, to keep it warm through the night, only to rise again the next morning... The same story repeats every morning, But every time I watch it, it seems new... Every ray of sun narrates the story of it's own, Every wave of river narrates the story of it's own, But every time I try to put these stories into words, I fail miserably, The beauty leaves me spellbound and engulf all my words, taking me into the world of eternal bliss...
