High On You

 In the midst of summer

I found you like cold wind

And then, I was all chills and shivers

It felt strange 

With the atmosphere sweating, and me freezing

I guess I was high on you

Yes, on you

You, being the only drug I ever tasted

Everything became winter for me

All white and merry

Even the nights held a different kind of beauty

The stars and the snowflakes seemed like long-lost sisters

My heart wouldn't stop beating faster

And my eyes wouldn't stop defying sleep

All I knew was that I was still warm, inside

Yes, in the midst of summer

You became my winter, and still kept me warm

Mother's Day Isn't Enough

A question to all my dear social media freaks.. why do we need a particular day to celebrate the presence of someone whom we owe our life to? Cannot we respect this person everyday? Yes, mother she is. She, who gives us birth, takes cares of us, and works hard without any expectations throughout her life, is one single day enough for giving her what she deserves? Millions of selfies, poems and posts are witnessed on various social media sites as soon as mother's day comes. It almost seems as if all the love and respect the mothers deserve, the kids tend to give away in one day. Our generation really needs to get that there not less days to thank their mother but there is definitely a lack of realization that it is their duty to pay her back what she gives them throughout her life. The lack of love in the children's hearts has made this day so important. Today, people have time for huge birthday bashes and late night parties but not enough patience to pay heed to the needs of their mothers. And where is this all leading to? How can Western culture take over such a rich culture that we own? It's high time now that we start paying attention to our families. A mother is a gift that not every child gets. She is a blessing that we must endure and respect. Love your mother every day, every moment of your life..because one day isn't enough for what she does for you. Because she would never demand anything...you must yourself show her how much she means to you. Showing your feelings to her is as easy as posting a picture with her on social media. Try it..at least once. It feels good!
                                     

वक़्त कुछ यूँ ठहरता है

कौन कहता है वक़्त कभी रुकता नहीं

कभी किसी लम्हे को 'जी'कर देखा है?

या ज़िंदगी को कभी समझा है?

कभी ऐसा भी करके देखो

वक़्त वहीं थम जाता है

कभी किसी नवजात बच्चे को ऊँगली थमाई है?

या कभी उस बच्चे की हँसी को दिल में उतारा है?

कभी ऐसा भी करके देखो

वक़्त वहीं थम जाता है

कभी अमरुद चुराते पकड़े गए हो?

या कभी डाँट के डर से बिस्तर के नीचे छिपे हो?

कभी ऐसा भी किया हो तो कहते

वक़्त वहीं थम जाता है

कभी पहाड़ों की सैर की है?

या नदी के पानी को महसूस किया है?

कभी ऐसा भी करके देखो

वक़्त वहीं थम जाता है

क्या प्रेमी की आँखों में कभी सलीके से झाँका है?

या बत्ती गुल होने पर डरकर उससे लिपटे हो?

कभी ऐसा भी करके देखो

वक़्त वहीं थम जाता है

कभी कोशिश की है दादी की कहानियों का पिटारा खोलने की?

या पापा की मेहनत में कभी हाथ बँटाकर देखा है?

कभी ऐसा भी करके देखो

वक़्त वहीं थम जाता है

कभी बारिश के पानी में तुम छपक-छपक कर कूदे हो?

या उस मिट्टी की खुशबू से ओत-प्रोत नहाए हो?

कभी ऐसा भी करके देखो

वक़्त वहीं थम जाता है

कभी चित्र उकेरा है कागज़ पर?

हाथ रंगों से सजाए हैं?

कभी ऐसा भी करके देखो

वक़्त वहीं थम जाता है

कभी पढ़ी कविता है जीवन की?

या कहानी अपनी सुनाई है?

कभी ऐसा भी करके देखो

वक़्त वहीं थम जाता है

Curves Redefined

"How curvy and beautiful she is!!" This is what men often say about women...isn't it? Why do you call a woman curvy? And moreover, which women do you find curvy? Are they your mother or wife or sister or just random girls who you think you own? Do you find the shape of her breasts or the width of her waist curvy? Or is it her hips that you find curvy? Have you ever..ever moved up above her chest and looked at her features? Do you find them beautiful despite the flaws that they possess?
Have you ever noticed 'that' curve on her face? Yes, the most beautiful curve she has...her smile.
She is a work of art away from all those miseries and guilt and all those worldly things. She has that one curve on herself that entices everyone. She can even make nature jealous of herself with her grace. With her smile, she can win hearts, defeat her demons and go from low to high and still hold the crown. Her curve is a smooth slip to every one. Have you ever noticed it so far..or fallen for it and not for her body? Have you ever been a man for her..not craving for flesh but for her soul? You call yourself a man? Be a human first. Embrace her curve and the beauty in it. Respect her for who she is and then you will stand on the principles of humanity.

It Did It All

Like blood draining from a body..it sucked life out of my skin. Slowly and steadily I saw myself proceeding towards death. I felt irritated at times, at others, I was calm. I felt I was a child again. I felt my soul slipping away from my lifeless body. All the memories of life flashed in front of my eyes. They made me cry and laugh at the same time. They gave me medicines and sent me to the doctor. I told them I needed love and not medication. Sitting at a corner in my room I just watched light dripping out of my darkness. Yes, old age does make you go crazy.
