Sapno ki raah...


Ek jagah hai door si...
Pahado ke bhi paar
Sundarta aur shaanti ki
rehti hai hamesha bahaar...

Chota sa ek ghar bhi hai...
Safed rang ka saja hua
Ek bageecha charo taraf
Phoolo se bhara hua

Ek ladki hai khoyi si
Baithi hai jaise intezaar mein
Ek ladka hai chupa hua
Shararat ki muskaan liye hue

Baadal kadke aasmaan mein
baarish ke aasaar hain
'Ab to aa jao ghar wapas'
Dil se yahi pukaar hain

Ye chota sa sapna dekhte
Badi hui kayi ladkiyan
Sapne shayad wohi hai aaj bhi
Bas badli thodi Khidkiyan

Ab ghar kahin door nahi
Posh locality mein hota hai
Safed rang to hoga hi
Marble se jo banta hai

Phool to hi-maintanence hain
Lawn ka sapna bekaar hai
Multiplex kitne door hain
Gym banna hai ya tyaar hai?

Ladki yaha bhi khoyi hai
Shaam ki tyaari mein
Strapless pehnu ya spagetti
Kitni pareshaan bechaari hain

Ladka hai ghoom raha
Paise ikkethe karne hain
Show-off karna zaroori hai
ladki ko impress karne mein

Ab baadal ki chinta nahi
Sabke chalte hain gaadi mein
Baarish bas ek pain hi hai
Romantic Date ki azaadi mein!

nice one..though I personally like to keep realism out of poetry. Does it come to you in one flow or you take time to put poetry together?
If you like realism in poetry, hope you have heard Rabbi's Avengi Jaa Nahi

I like the fluency & ease with which you switch from Hindi to English to Hinglish. Makes for fun reading, and certainly very modern & contemporary!!

Starting Over...

In life, beginings and ends form such a crucial part of living - never have i realised it more than in the last month or so. Both personally and professionally - too many things are ending and too many new ones are beginning. Its very easy to get nostalgic about whats ended - easier still to forget that it was us who wanted that stage to end ourselves. All because somewhere or the other in our heart - we're scared of the next stage... scared of not being sure... maybe of not having the comfort of belonging - like how we did earlier. Leaving aside the personal changes - professionally, after working for 14 years non-stop, i quit. To the world - i've taken a 'break'. No plans, No hidden cards (yes i got told that by quite a few), No waiting-by-the-side offers... just needed to not feel fatigued in life and figured that it IS after all, MY OWN LIFE... so i can do what feels right to me... without guilt, or feeling irresponsible, or even just guilt of being lazy!! Its my go...

Its Father's Day today...

Its quite strange that for a society like ours which thrives and survives on family values - we never had these 'days' as a part of our culture. not that it means that we dont value these relations - just that i would have loved to have more days to celebrate these lovely relations! its the same as having a birthday - its not that you dont love that person the rest of the 364 days - but that day makes him/her feel extra special!! and what's life if not a collection of these small moments of feeling 'special' to someone... so am all for all these 'days' - tho' pls i do draw a line at celebrating 'boss day'!!! :-) Anyways - back to the topic "My Daddy Strongest!!" - this line never failed to make me smile everytime i saw it on TV... Its always strange for me to describe my relation with my dad... am the youngest of 3... dad was 38 when i was born... busy struggling to keep a roof over the family's head having left his family business ...

Being single at 35

“How does it feel?” – is a question some of the long-married friends of mine have asked me from time to time and more so recently. Maybe now that some of them have started approaching their 10th anniversaries – maybe its playing on their minds more than before! :-) And I have always believed that the old idiom of ‘grass being greener on the other side’ applies to women more than men!! We always seem to want or at least be intensly curious about whatever’s out of our reach! But to get back to the question being asked… how DOES it feel being single at 35? I don’t know if I can answer it actually – becoz then I need to know how else it could have felt at 35!! It feels bloody normal to me right now… :-) Maybe not what I expected it to feel at 35 – but this is how it is. It feels strange sometimes to have friends talk about their 9 yr old kids… It feels pretty normal to have enough free time to do what catches my fancy… It feels normal to never complain about ‘me’ time… Its strange to come ...
