Rewind - January 2023

 I can't believe January is over. It went by like a whoosh. I am writing better than what I did in the last quarter of 2022. I want to write more long-form Hindi poems this year.

I wrote the following in January:

देने वाले ने रिश्ता खत्म होने का 

क्या सिगनल दिया 

आज वह नाराज़ मुझ से था 

और गुस्सा किसी और पे किया 


Dene wale ne rishta khatam hone ka

Kya signal diya

Aaj woh naraaz mujh se tha

Par gussa kisi aur pe kiya

There is more strength in me

Than there is stress

There is more beauty in my vulnerability

Than in my 100-dollar dress

Them f**kers can't rule me

They try nevertheless

Honest to God truth -

When a man can't handle a strong woman

He often calls her a mess

01/15/2023

वो जो नस-नस में आग लगाती है

तुम वो बुरी आदत हो

01/19/2023

​​तेरे शहर से गुज़रु और तू याद भी ना आए 

बस इतना भूलना है तुझे


Tere shehar se guzaru aur tu yaad bhi na aaye

Bas itna bhulna hai tujhe

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.
