कांच

कांच




रुई सी हलकी जिंदगी थी,

जी भर कर जिया मे I

अब्ब तो पत्थर की है,

फिर भी कांच की तरह

संभल संभल के जी रहा हूँ I

Valentines Day, 2012

Love is an amorphous and unsettling feeling
it vaporizes off even before it settles in!
up up and away it goes like kites without any strings......

Slithering soul

Slithering soul
notwithstanding storms and cold
inches forward courageously

A nice thought by one of my favourite Marathi writers Va Pu Kale! This quote is part of  Vapurza - a compilation of his thoughts on varied topics.

Remainder of a busy day!

These are words that hijacked my mind while reading  Sea of Poppies a novel by Amitav Ghosh yesterday night!


In the closed room marked by silence,

the stark lights fail to pierce footloose imagination

and my thoughts continue to float on the Sea of Poppies.

Distant yet magnificent is the lure of possibilities,

cunningly hoodwinking another day into another night

without slipping in the monotony imposed by time.........


...By me!

English just KICKED THE BUCKET! 3

Ok so here goes another one – this one made Shakespeare turn in his grave

The victim- the word " Familiar"

Which means- adjective. intimate - acquainted - conversant – close

One of my friends commits this carnal sin over and over again.

Familiar has nothing to do with “being family oriented”

The other day while returning home in the bus Ms. D said – “My husband is a very familiar person and takes good care of our family.”

I had my ROFL moment of the day and started giggling…

My sweet friend didn’t understand what was the joke in her husband looking after their family.

I explained her the meaning of what she had just said and we both started giggling together.

I hope I come across more such funny ‘FAMILIAR’ gaffes!

कारवां

इतने सालों बाद,

एक मायूस श्याम को

कारवां आज फिर निकला है

तुम्हारे ख्यालों का मेरे दिल से

आज फिर क़यामत होगी

यादें तूफ़ान बनकर कहर ढायेंगी

सुखी आँखें आज फिर पानी बरसाएंगी

दर्द का कारवां निकला तो है

लेकिन कोई नहीं जनता

यह रुकेगा कहाँ!
