Rewind - February 2023

I had high hopes from February but I got COVID. It hit me really hard. I was in bed for almost 3 weeks. It was frustrating as I missed many deadlines.

I am hoping March will be better and I will be able to recover the time lost.

I wrote the following in February:

ज़िन्दगी में किसी से इतना प्यार मत करना 

कि वो तुम्हें दुःख देता रहे और तुम उसे गले लगाते रहो


Zindagi mein kisi se itna pyaar mat karna

Ki woh tumhe dukh deta rahe aur tum usse gale lagate raho

02/10/2023

बहुत दुःख हुआ सुन के 

कि तुम्हें मेरे जाने का ज़रा भी दुःख नहीं हुआ 


Bahut dukh hua sunn ke

Ki tumhein mere jaane ka zara bhi dukh nahi hua

ज़िन्दगी कैसे जीते है ये ज़रा देर से समझ में आया 

अपने-पराये का फर्क हालातों ने सिखाया


Zindagi kaise jeete hai ye zara der se samajh mein aaya

Apne paraye ka fark haalaaton ne sikhaya

माचिस, आग और बारूद की क्या ज़रूरत

जब लोग आपकी तरक्की से जल-भुन जाते हो

इश्क़ का सही मतलब 

मुझे उसकी बेवफ़ाई ने सिखाया


Ishq ka sahi matlab

Mujhe uski bewafai ne sikhaya

बस लोग एक यही गलती करते है 

अपनी कहानी का हीरो किसी दूसरे को समझते है


Bas log ek yehi galti karte hai

Apni kahani ka hero kisi dusre ko samjhte hai

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
