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 ...

Chauvinism rears its head again...

Maybe had just got spoilt with the lull on this front ... but when faced with an in-ur-face display of chauvinism happened, i was yet again caught by surprise! why do i keep getting surprised still after so many years, i dont know... maybe am just too slow in my head!! ;-) in my head - an educated, corporate professional who's been in existence in this current world scenario - when asked 'do your sisters work?' DOES NOT reply with an 'of course not!' in my head - the above described person DOES NOT insist on 'homely' (read : non-working) as a pre-requisite for his life-partner! in my head - the above described person is fictional!! :o) but no - with my luck - trust me to run into this person... and since i firmly believe that there's always a reason why anything happens in life... i shall aim to look for reasons here as well... 1. had to remember the lessons learnt in body language (limp handshake = limp mind and who knows limp what else!!) he he!! 2. h...
