LIGHTS IN THE STILL NIGHT


This dark night is imbibed with a strange stillness…
 And I stand here, gazing at the lights far off..
Far off that I can’t reach
Far off, that they all look alike,
 Look alike, from the place where I stand...
Be it the lights on a desolate highway
Be it the lights in a crowded night club
Be it the lights of a posh flat
Be it the lights of a shantytown house
Far off, that they all look alike,
Look alike, from the place where I stand...
But each having a different story to tell…
A story that I don’t know,
But a story that I can imagine …
The story of
a truck driver on a desolate highway,
Moving on all alone in the dark night
Just to have a morning…
A morning that may start with
a smile on his daughter’s face…
The story of
 a young man sitting all drunk,
in the night club,
trying to solace himself
Of the betrayal he got…
The story of
 a deceived bride in a posh flat,
With tears rolling down her eyes…
The eyes that deserved dreams,
 Dreams of a new life,
 but all shattered,
after her groom’s devil face comes alive…
The story of
A couple in a shantytown house
 being terrorized by the
Thoughts of the next morning
When they have to
Deposit their son’s school fee
but not having courage to tell him
that his father has lost it all ...
Each having a different story to tell...
Each one becoming denser
as the darkness of this night grows...
But far off I stand that
They all look alike…

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...
