To that person..!

Let me introduce someone who fuels the vehicle of our life…
It’s not mom, dad, sibling, husband or wife…
This is a special one
With them around, life is fun…!
They know you the most
They are your family functions unpaid host…!
They don’t judge
When it’s about you, They won’t budge..!
You don’t need to be shy..
They will always come by , without asking why?
They know your mistakes
But still love you for who you are…
They are always around, whether they live near or far ..
They call you parents mom and dad
Not related by blood, but will always cheer you when sad…!
They know your love life
And understand when your priorities changes to your wife…!
They don’t complain, They always choose you…
If you have such a friend.. you are one of the lucky few…!!
Treasure them
Love them
And let them know
Without them by your side, you won’t know where to go..!

Once a cheerful me..!

img

Returning from work
I had a thought to myself…
Life is so good
With goodness around and people to help…

Suddenly I felt a pull
And I was grabbed..
For the next few hours
I was nabbed and stabbed…

I pushed and fought
And I tried a lot…
On the seat of a posh car
Away from the city crowd somewhere far…

I was hurt and hurt
And I felt like a piece of dirt…
My dress was torn
By men who thought I was the one they own…

They had a smirk on their face
While they watched me fade By…
They enjoyed the feeling
Of seeing me weak and shy…

At that moment
I was thinking to myself
Why did I come home so late?
Why is this in my fate?

They didn’t care for my thoughts
Or the blood I lost…
They only wanted some inhuman pleasure
At my cost…!

Demons they were
But I could only yell and stare
And they took turns
Oh stop ! It’s hurts and burns..!

They were deaf to my cries
They weren’t men very wise…
I kept pleading in pain
They thought of it as their gain…

I was later thrown in a pit
Like a piece of shit…
Feeling crippled and numb
I lay there still
Until spotted by some…

Taken to the medical room
I could hear whispers around me..
My parents and friends
Came rushing to see….

I saw my mother cry
I felt my father standing afar in shock…
Is she your daughter, let’s get a few details in said the nurse
Documenting a day of fear and course…

Days went by and seasons turned
Doctors said i am fine and I was brought home…
But something in me was still shaken
The girl in me was now broken…

No matter what I did
No matter where I hid..
Demons still dwell everywhere,
In my mother’s care, in people’s stare…

I stood up and walked
And decided to talk..
Through my story
I wanted others to be aware…
So they don’t fall prey to a demons stare…!!
So they don’t fall prey to a demons stare..!!

They Say I Can’t…

They said I can’t
But they do not know it all
They may know me now
But they do not know my struggle and fall…

I have come a long way
Not to just fade away
I may be falling for sure
But struggle is the only way to get the desired shore….

When they say I can’t
They could also be right
But I am glad, they don’t think I won’t
And there lies my fight…

Whenever you meet them
Just let them know
I can and I will
Untill I won’t and I don’t…

The Web…

No time –
We say,
to online browsing
We all are prey…!

Ten minutes more –
then I won’t touch my phone..!
A promise we fail
Social media addiction has got no bail.

Who has gone where?
What photos did he share?
Hours pass by.. and there is still something new,
by the end of the day, you have no time left for you..!

New video, blogs and games,
New messages, feeds and photos for the frame.
you wake up everyday –
to ponder upon the same.

They travel so much,
They have a cool life.!
You don’t take me anywhere –
there is no excitement in my life!
Complains the wife…!!!

Look at my friend –
got a grand new phone..
whatever I have got –
is nothing more than a stone…!

We have started to compare,
only to feel our life isn’t fair.
Trying to see it all on the internet
We have stopped meeting friends
or playing cricket…

The mobile has jail us all.
An adhesive glue it is,
where we live our life – for likes
and life’s moto is to please others –
most of whom we haven’t even had a sight…

It is time we break free!
and enjoy the imperfect little joys.
To teach our kids the real meaning of life –
is much more than just being tied
to such filters and toys…!!

Pause…

Pause

A pause,
To stop and reflect
A pause,
To think and recollect

How often
Do you break?
To pause and refresh
No matter even if it is all at stake.

Not now
Not then
If not now
Then when?
Do you realize
Even pause –
Is a victim of procrastination!

Get up to stop
Give your routine a little hop
A step back is all it takes
To ponder on your strengths and work on your mistakes

You owe this to you
And a near and dear few
So delay no further
Honor the break its righteous due…

When you step back
Just let yourself know
The small hole on the surface
Is for a new sapling to grow…
Is for a new sapling to grow…

Climax is where it begins…

I dreamt to be a dreamer
Coffee boiling in the brewer
Evenings never looked more happier
Full of lights – far away from fear…!!

A journey was about to start
In the film of my life
Where –
I was the director
I was the cast…!!

No work in progress
No diversions
Fun was unlimited
No condition or apprehension…!!

Where would I go
What would I do
Neither am I worried
Nor should you….!!

Turns and bends
Wherever I choose
There was no vain
As I would have nothing to lose..!!

The driver is me
Set on a spree
I am shore
I am the sea…!!

I can scream
I can cry
I can run
I can fly…!!

This is just what I wanted
Ever since the start
Finally at the end
I have it all in my cart…!!

I will shoot my film
The way I want it to be
The climax is where it begins
At the end I am free…!!

A Friend Within

Do I know you at all?
What should I address you?
What should I call?

You smile in my success
You cry for my fall
You are always with me
Whether I jump, walk or crawl….

Surrounded with friends
Unnoticed you were
I would ignore you always
After a few seconds of stare..

Now that I am locked
All accesses and communications blocked
I have got the time
And you have the light of lime….

I thought
you would not speak
For your company
I did not seek…..

You hugged me so tight
And suddenly I felt so light
You knew all my scar
And I was the one who pushed you far….

Where were you all the while?
I asked you in a fancy style…
Right here – you said
I have always lived in your heart and head…

Taken aback
I introspected myself
All I gathered
Was that you were always willing to help…

Why didn’t I speak to you before
Why didn’t I ever try to understand you more?
Searching for a friend outside
I forgot I already have one inside…

I always wanted
Someone who will know how I feel
Looking at my eyes
Someone who can tell it is real or a reel…

I cribbed and cried
But could not find at all
Right here you were
Just at a distance of closing my eyes and a quick mind’s call…

That’s when I realized
What my mom always said
When in doubt
Try asking your heart and your head…!!

All these years
I was in search of you
But you were within
And I had no clue…!

Now that I know
I will always have a friend
Who will guide me through out life
Until our journey comes to an end …!!!

Bandhan Pyaar Ka…

Akeli thi mai kabhi
socha karti thi mai tabhi
Sabke pass hai koi khass
kitne khush hain ye sabhi…

Sunkar meri ye baat
bhej diya tuzhe usne
khelne mere sath
aur ho gayi ek nayi shuruaat…

Tu ekdum chotasa tha
din mai sota, raat mai rota tha
aab papa tujhse khelte the zyada
aur jalan mujhko hota tha…

Phir dheere dheere samaj aaya
aur tu banta gaya mera saaya
jidhar mai jati, udhar tu aata
na jane tha ye konsa nata…

Masti bohot karta tha tu
padhai ke naam pe toh nikal the tere aasu
par jo bhi ho jaye, pyara tu lagta tha
kitna bhi zagad lu, tu sang mere hi rehta tha…

Khel khel mai
bade huye hum
bachpan ki yaaden
abhi bhi kar deti hain meri aankhen num…

Tu dur chalagaya, karne padhai
dheere dheere tuzhe
yaad meri kam aayi…

Vyast toh mai bhi ho gayi hun
galat agar hai tu
toh mai bhi kuch zayada sahi nahi hun…

Lagta hai khulke batadu
tere mujhse durr jane ka
tujhe mai saza du…

Kuch bolti nahi hu lekhin
gale lagakar tujhe,
lagta hai – apne bachpan ko
phir se apna lu…

Jab bidaai thi meri
mujhse zayada tu roya tha
na jane kitne din aur raat
tu mere yaad me hi soya tha…

Kyun dur huwe hum
yeh aab sochna chahti nahi
chal aab karen aapne beech
sab kuch sahi…

Iss Raksha bandhan
shayad mil na paye hum
dur hokar hi sahi
chchal lagate hai apne dard par hum malham…

Tu meri shetaniya batana
meri teri tufaniyan bataun
teri beti ko bhi toh mai
uske papa ki kahaniya sunaun…

Happy Raksha bandhan bhai
le mai tere liye
yeh digital rakhi bhi layi…

Haar saal ki tarah iss saal bhi
tu koi bahana nahi banana
virtually hi sahi –
mera tohfa tu mujh tak pahuchana…

Phirse jiye hum khulkar
roye apne yaadon ko gale lagakar
chal bhai manayein yeh Raksha bandhan
haskar, mushkurakar…

Mother Nature

The drops fell down-
On the burning sun…
The wind blew by
And spoilt its fun…!

Nature had its way
Of sending them all to play
For when unity they show
Earth is blessed with a rainbow…!

Standing there I thought
Why would have the sun, rain and breeze fought…?
Reason known to none may be
Only the outcome we feel and see…!

As if mother nature
Is wanting to preach
The lesson of Unity
She wants them to teach…!

Finally the three
Might have cleared all the fight
Hence Mother nature is happy
showing us a beautiful sight…!

And we here sitting down
Always cry and frown
Not knowing what it takes
When united its beautiful
And in selfishness even the Earth shakes..!!!

Kalam

Mai kalam hu!
haan.. haan mai kalam hu..
tum hath ghumate ho,
aur mai tumhare tal se tal milakar – likhta challa jata hu..

Haan.. mai kalam hu!
tumhare khushi me khush,
tumhare dukh me dukhi mai ho jata hu,
tumhare dil ke har rang ko – mai kagaz ke panno par lekar aata hu..!

Haan mai kalam hu!
Khoon ki ek bund bhi nahi lagti hai mujhpe,
magar insaan ko puri tarah se
tood ne ki takat mai rakhta hu..!

Talwaro se lakh zindagiya
tabah ho magar
dil ke har taklif ko dur karne ki
takat lekar mai chata hu..!

Haan mai kalam hu….!

Aabhiman nahi garv hai mujhe
aapne iss fitrat pe ..
bina kuch bole hi mai
lakho ko sunna ne ki kabiliyat rakhta hu

Haan mai kalam hu…!

Na shabd mere hote hai,
na hote hai mere sawal jawab.
Mai toh hu ek mehanti gulam,
aur mere lekhak hi hai mere nawab..!

Issi soch ko lekar mai,
aapna jeewan guzar leta hu…
mai kalam hu mere yaaro,
lo, aaj mai aapni ye dasta tumhe sunata hu…!

Haan mai wahi kalam hu jo humesa sath tumhare rehta hu…!
