I did notice you when you entered the premises on that chair,which the lady was pushing across the room making her way. I did notice your still skinny body on that,which seemed to have given away all the hopes. I did notice when a lady asked to lay you down on the stretcher,and some other…
The Conversation at the Telephone
You may think, that I’m referring to a telephonic conversation here; however, this was a conversation that happened in a bar between two unknown people. There’s a popular saying, ‘You meet the most unexpected person at the most unexpected time and place’. Something similar happened here. It was the year 2017 when I was in…

The lady at the shack
Well, I’m bad at remembering names, so I will simply call her Auntie. On my recent trip to Goa, she was working at Johnny’s Sand Dunes Shack right outside Hotel Goan Heritage on Calangute Beach. The very first morning when we went out for a walk, she greeted us with a big smile: “Aao sir,…
Bas ek din aur
Dil kehta hain is raat ki subha hi na ho,Kal is shareen mein rooh hi na ho.Mere liye kisi ki aankh mein aasu bhi na ho,Aur bicharne ke tarap ka ehsaas hi bhi na ho. Par dimag ki kashmakash hain kuch aur,kehta hain jee le,bas ek din aur. Kal shayad woh din tera ho,Shayad ho…

Starbucks ke date ab ho gaye hain chyoos pe shift,Palak patta chaat bhi karte hain inke mood ko lift. South delhi aur north delhi ka mel hain nirala,Ab…
A good-for-nothing average guy

I was called upon the stage and was awarded the “Best All-Rounder (Cultural)” award. It made it more special it was conveyed to me by one of my professors that…
रंगो भरी ज़िन्दगी
इस आसमा सी हैं ये ज़िन्दगी। हर उगते और डूबते सूरज के साथ,ये भी अपना रंग बदलती हैं। उस अंधेरे आसमान का कद्रदान शायद ही कोई हो,पर उस अंधेरे में समाते सूरज को सब एक बार निहारते ज़रूर हैं। गर गौर से देखो,तो काफी बेरंग हैं ये रंगो भरी ज़िन्दगी। – अंकुर मंडल
