stories

How incomplete stories are
but then they are stories
and not supposed to tell the whole lives.
They tell us what the author
wanted to say.
Not a word more
not a word less.
The story of Alchemist
told me a lot
not all, but still a lot.
it never told me about the
suffering the boy must have gone through
before becoming the shepherd.
How many people he consulted
to reach peace?
How come his dad was so supportive?
or is it that Dads are always supportive?

हर शाम.....

हर शाम अपने साथ इतनी बेचैनी क्यूँ लाती है?
सुबह का इंतज़ार मुझसे ज्यादा कीसे होगा
कदम उठ भी रहे हैं, चलने का अहसास भी है
पर मैं अपनी जगह पर जड़ हूँ, ये आभास भी है
हर रात से हाथ जोड़कर प्रार्थना करके देखा है
पर सुबह की धुंध है की कम होती नहीं
एक सुबह वो होगी जब फूल मुस्कुराएंगे
इसलिए नहीं क्युंकी उन्हें मुस्कुराना चाहीये
बल्कि इसलिए क्यूंकि वो चाहते हैं मुस्कुराना
उस सुबह सुरक चमकेगा ऐसे सब कुछ भस्म कर दे जैसे
पर उससे पिछली रात
और बहुत सी पीछ्ली रातें
नम होंगी
कुछ भीगी और कुछ सीली होंगी

Love

I think I am in love

I said this to my self

Is this really love

I asked my self

So me and myself

Started a debate

May be this would help me

Define my state

I wait for his call

Whole day long

His words now seem

More beautiful than a song

I go online to just

Check his name

And I tell my mind

to stop playing these games

Thinking of him

I can collide with a truck

For his presence in my life

I thank my luck
