I am otherwise a Straight man

A closet is perhaps the safest space, no wonder everyone is comfortable hiding there. I take pride in myself for being out and open. However, the journey of “finding myself” has been completely different from what it looks like now. My best friend’s mother always knew my love for him and was really apprehensive about…

Life in a 10×10

Well, I will be honest; the very first day I turned on the shower, I cried under it. You never have a say in your birth. That certainly is your parents’ decision. So is your school, your initial hobby classes, and the room you get to live into. Growing up in a working-class family, the…

Grey

Curved out a sheet from life,And made it the base.Choose the darkest shade to paint it,That matched the soul;So whatever is written would shine out.The board was unique,Second to non.Finest of the chalk was chosen,To write the name that would remain forever.Unaware, that the namesWould also bring a duster along;And someday each one would leave,erasing…

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  

My Rainbow wings

It is always (very) important to accept yourself before you expect anyone else to accept you. Hi, I am Ankur Mondal and this is my story. It took me two wrong relationships and a failed person to discover the real me. Since childhood, because of my calm nature, my fellow students have called me by…

संत्रास

आज आसमाँ भी हुई तेरे क़तरे से लाल, कहीं ये रंग लिख़ ना जाएँ इस देश का भावी हाल। बारूद के धुएं में अब सांस लेना हैं मुश्किल, रखवाला ही बन रहा हैं इस धर्ती का क़ातिल। येह ज़मीं हैं तेरी भी फ़िर काहें का रेष, चंद लम्हों की ज़िन्दगी जीले बिन द्वेष। – अंकुर…

Maa

  Maa;Main roz tujhe milta hoon,Isi jagah. Tu roz mujhein utna hi pyaar karti hain. Par aaj jab tu ek naye roop mein aayi,To main tujhe pehchan na paaya. Par tune utne hi pyaar se mujhe pukara,Aur mujhe utna hi dular kiya. Maa, mujhe maaf karna ki main tere jitna pyaar na kar paunga,Par koshish…

Dil

Dil  apne liye hamesha hi pechide raste khojta hain, Kabhi ek raah to kabhi dusri pakadta hain. Galat raaste ko sahi maankar kabhi kabhi woh itna door chala jate hain, Ki wapas aana namumkin sa lagta hain. Aur kabhi kabhi us galti ko woh itna such maan lete hain, Ki galti ka ehsaas bhi nahi…

Tere Bagair

Dhalte hue suraj ki tapish aaj bhi mehsoos ki tere bagair, Bas ek tak takta raha use. Aaj ek aur shaam dhal rahi tere bagair, Aaj ek aur din beet raha tere bagair. Aaj yeah aakhein phir tarsi tere bagair, Aaj ek aur din jee liya tere bagair. Kabhi socha na tha ki zindagi bitegi…

तस्वीर

तुम जितना भी चाहो, समय को रोकना तुम्हारे वश में नही। पर दिल तब भी कहता हैं, काश में उसे रोक पता। रोक लेता उन लम्हों को, ठहरा देता उन पलों को; जिनमें मैं गुज़ारना चाहता था सारी जिंदगी। जानता था, समय अपनी राह पे चलता रहेगा, ना तू रोक पाया था, ना मैं रोक…
