Debris

ON THE DEBRIS OF BLOOD SOAKED CORPSE, DESTROYED MONUMENTS AND LOST SOIL, ANOTHER CIVILISATION IS BORN WITH HOPE. NOT TO END IN A SIMILAR WAY. BUT ALAS! HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF.

Flags

From Reds, Oranges and Gold To Green and Blue...

The history of India was written 

In Flags of Invasion 

VIBGYOR played in reverse!

Until India tasted freedom.

River

Quench your thirst in my youth.

Before the dirty maturity hits. 

Before Transparency gets lost in layers of sediments. 

Before evil takes a toll on my dream run. 

Restricts it. Binds it. Bends it. 

Before I lose my identity. 

Before I get lost in the sea like a million others. 

Quench your thirst, as long as I can nurture you...

...Said the River to Mankind

Mewar Ke Rang

Mewar ke angan mein jab lal Talai behti thi.

Gerua aur safed se yudh ki dhara behti thi.

Ussi dharti ke putra ne

Sabke mann mein aasha ki kiran jalaai thi

Tilak laga maidaan mein utra jab jab woh

Dharti muskuraai thi

Zulmiyon ke neendo ko Mewar ki dharti churai thi.

Aj unn rango pe Jo pyaar ka rang charhaya hai.

Issi holi utsav mein kabhi umeed ki siyasaat baithi thi.

Mewar Ki Dharti ke har rang mein rangke koi rehti thi.

Unke Mann ke rango ko jisne laal se rangayi thi.

Unke dil mein bhi aise koi rehti thi.

Aj Holi phirse aati, unki yaadein Mewar ko satati.

Abhi bhi mewar jag uthti unke veer gatha o se.

Jaha har din Holi ki uss Rajtilak ke yaad mein

Rang jaati hai mewar ki dharti nayi asha ki rango se.

Who are your greatest enemies?

"Ego and Fear."

Bad Connection

 "What to do now? My wifi is dead!" He slammed shut his laptop.

"I don't know." She frowned thoughtfully.

"Maybe you can talk, feel, listen and understand real-life people to start with.

Gaze at the stars, perhaps?" And in her sarcastic smile, he fell in love, again.

Lost & Found

 She looks at the stranger in the mirror 

And sighs perhaps in disbelief, 

Her words are yours, so is that dress. 

She is everything you want, perfect. 

The trophy girl, the show-off relation, 

The object of your timely lusts;

Now is the time she disagrees, 

Starving herself to feed your needs, 

Your fragile masculinity, your only feat.

Man, you are, you call the shots, 

Killed her dreams, turned her into a rock 

She knows exactly what you love to hear 

But she cannot please you anymore, dear.

She calls it quits and takes the risks, 

To find herself once more. 

She has uncovered you bit by bit 

Peeling your touch and taste off her skin 

Now she stands in flesh and blood. 

As real as she had ever been.

Khoya Hu

 Aakhon Se Fisalti Jaati Sapne, Raeth Ki Tarah.

Samajh Nahi Aata, Mutthi Bandh Karu Ya Khol Du.

Kaise Bandhu Unn Sapno Ke Dor, 

Kahi Wo Ghum Naa Ho Jaaye Raston Mein, 

Kayi Bujh Naa Jaaye Aas Ki Diye.

Kahi Raeth Mein Kho Naa Jaaye

Dhadkan Ki Awaz,

Aur Hum.

Silent Love

Dono ke labh pe inkaar hai

Phir bhi dono eksath hai.

Meera

 Preet ki kesariya ko banake oorni

Bas Prem ke liye jee gayi.

Aisi thi ek Rajkumari

Banke Jogan jo rahi

Aisi Bhakti mein wo samayi

Ke bas Kanha ki Meera Kehlaayi.

Colours of Love

Once upon a time, colours celebrated love. And Holi, the triumph of good over evil. Today, the festival has turned into a photographer's paradise, a selfie queen's destination and an art of showing how much you believe in the tradition of your culture. People flock to Vraj Festival and Vrindavan just to put up stories that disappear in a day. Or perhaps for some likes on Facebook. But what about the triumph of good over evil? God laughs sarcastically as yet another bomb takes innocent lives across the globe. Yet another child is stripped of his childhood with abuse, rape or perhaps death. Yet another soldier returns home in a coffin while the terrorist escapes. No wonder it's not the triumph of good over evil anymore. Humanity has died a slow death. Holi today is a holiday, a feast or perhaps a get-together. The promise of love changes colour every day. Just like human beings.
