From The Quill

चल आज फिर एकबार वो बरसों पुरानी खेल खेलते है। प्यार में हम दुनिया भूल लेते है। तू रूठे में मनाऊ, तू माने तो में सताऊ, बातों में तेरे यूं मुस्कुराऊ; बेवज़ह एक धुन आज गुनगुनाऊँ। आज तू फिर एक बार हाथ थाम ले, में एक और बार निहार लू तुझे। आज चल फिर इस दुनिया से दूर एक कहानी लिखते हैं। उस जगह की और उन लोगो की, जो हकीकत बनते बनते यूं ख्वाबो में खो गए। ~ Suranya

 Man went out in search of God. He saw the Sun  And wondered,  "A unique ball of fire in the sky  Giving me warmth, food and light.  I have found God!" He set up rituals, places of worship,  Kept a shrine, wished for things in greed When Drought dried up the streams  Water was rare, and conditions extreme. "Oh, I can't live without Water! Not the sun, but  Water is our God", he screamed Travelling in the desert, food was scarce,  Not a tree in sight, or fruits to savour "That's it, the Trees must be God!" He inferred. Cold winds blew, and he needed fire to keep him warm.  "The Fire must be God."  He exclaimed, stacking wood, "It also helps us cook." Wild beasts attacked, man overpowered them,  It didn't take him long to realise His brains were different from theirs. A house was built of wood, mud and stones  Mansions sprang up with marble domes,  Irrigation controlled famine and droughts, Dams the flood, knowledge spr...

 In no time... Will the conversations become monotonous; The stories same old. You know exactly where to laugh and where to frown, The mystery of discovery will be gone.  You'd know what to expect out of me.  Trigger my occasional blushing. Soon, silence will fill the room,  Or the phone line, which I hold close  Just to hear you breathe into it.  Soon, I will have no secrets from you  To unravel the enigma you think me to be. You will soon see what I am.  And I wonder... Will you go seeking adventure then  Elsewhere, where the grass is greener? Treat my mistakes as though they were sins? Or be like you have always been?  Like nothing has changed. You know why it scares me like nightmares? Coz that's the moment of truth.  The time love is tested.  That's the time the tinted glasses break  The time you should hold on to flaws  To choose a lifetime with me or walk away. ~ Suranya
