Bheega Samandar
Barkha ki jhankar aaj goonj rahi hain aangan mein,Ab tum kya bhigaoge samandar ko.
Dikshant
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…
2021: The Year it was
Here I am, relishing the last trip of the year with my man and a friend who is really close to my heart. There are a few unknown people who may become friends tomorrow. My heart goes out to all who are missing here. Sipping onto a hot Ginger Lemon Honey, with the chill running…
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,…

Life in a 10×10

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
