Rewind - January 2021

A late post. I forgot to publish it.

2021 is here. We are still in lockdown. And now, I am getting bored of it. I was the normalcy back. How about you? Are you waiting for things to get back to normal or enjoying it?

This is what I wrote in January:

हर पल मेरा ख्याल रखता है

ये दोस्ती नहीं साहब, प्यार लगता है

01/09/2021

तू दूर से देखे 

और आँखों-आँखों में इज़हार हो 

ये फेसबुक, इंस्टाग्राम वाली दुनिया में 

90 के दशक वाला प्यार हो

01/16/2021

मुझे वो लोग ज़्यादा भाते हैं 

जो बोलते कम है और कर के ज़्यादा दिखाते है

01/17/2021

दोस्त लेने-देने का हिसाब रखने लगे है

यूँ समझ लो दोस्ती के मायने घटने लगे है

01/18/2021

बहुत मासूम होते है वो लोग 

जो अपनी गलती को इश्क़ का नाम देते है

01/22/2021

साला नौटंकी सा लगता है इश्क़ आज-कल

लोग तसवीरें यादों के लिए कम फ़ेस्बुक के लिए ज़्यादा लेते है

01/23/2021

Bas uss mukaam tak pahuchna

Ki maa tumhari fikr kam, zikr zyada kare

01/24/2021

Subah ki chai sa ishq hai hamara

Tujhe ek baar hothon se lagaye na toh din shuru nahi hota

01/25/2021

Don't fuck with people who smiled back when life screwed them over.

01/28/2021

तनख्वाह से आते हो महीने में 1-2 बार

कभी खर्चे सा दिन में 4-5 बार चेहरा दिखाया करो

फ़क़ीर बने बैठे है

इतना मत तरसाया करो

Being Human

Under the roof of winter, Latches of my door open without making a sound. It's cold out there, Someone lost his ground. My soul shivers, Not that I'm cold. Someone from my land, Sleeps under the bridge while dreaming of gold. How can I... tuck myself in the quilt? When the winter storm is blowing, Hopes they have built. I have to get up, Do something... Before I start questioning who am I? And, they start saying...'Humanity dies.' Let's work out something, Take a resolution. Walk across all kinds of bridges, And, just be human... From centuries people are migrating for work or for better opportunities. But, not everyone has a smooth sailing...some live under miserable conditions. Most heart wrenching fact is nobody helps them, not even people from their own countries. I know, everybody is busy chasing the bigger purpose of life. But don't you think we should help people in need? Let's try to be better human being...

I Am Not Alone

Last year blessed me, He walked silently into my life. It was Love, That took me in its stride. One evening we walked holding hands, Then, I told him what I felt in heart. He said we were one soul, Who were living in parts. To bring the parts together, We fought with the world and tied the knot. Being one soul, Gave life a whole new spot. Chirping birds, floating clouds, Nature conspired for us. Always swimming against the tide, Life was in an adrenaline rush. This year cursed me, He walked silently out of my life. It was Death, That took him in its stride.       Yesterday his soul was saying, Fearing memories will fade, he can’t move on. He will stay and admire me, Standing always by my side from dusk to dawn.

Rewind - September 2023

 I wrote the following in September. Sometimes, I feel I will forget the art of writing couplets because I am not writing at all this year. I strongly believe you have to practice to hone your craft. And I am not doing that. Perhaps I schedule a time to write a poem. Or I need better time management skills. Date Published 09/05/2023 मुझे उसके जाने का इतना अफ़सोस नहीं हुआ  जितना इस बात का कि इतने सालों तक उसे रहने ही क्यों दिया  Love, Saru
