The boy who failed

Raising a toast after the wrap is a great feeling,but does that give me happiness?All that glitters is not gold,would clearly define my profession’s flashiness. While sitting with a bunch of people,who are succeeding or have done a lot in life;the feeling inside is deflating,as I could not thrive. At a stage of life,where I should…

When I’m gone

Don’t hate me if I’m gone,Just know that I tried my best. Don’t hate me if I’m gone,Because it’s time for me to take a rest. Don’t hate me if I’m gone,As there were no purposeful possibilities. Don’t hate me if I’m gone,As I have been there to the best of my abilities. Don’t hate…

Tum sab jaanti ho

Tum to sab jaanti thi,poocho apne dil se. Itne saal jise god mein khilaya,sine se laga ke duniya se bachaya. Uski har dhadkan se waqif thi,maathe ki chunwat ko bhi pehchnati thi. Jiski hansi mein tumhari khushi,Aur chot lagne par tum bhi roti thi. Tumhari lali lipstick lagakar bohot baar saja tha,Apni chunar orhakar jise…

Pulbangash

Pul Bangash, naam to suna hi hoga?Sach bataun, to chaar saal pehele tak maine nahi suna.Park hotel ke us pool ke takraw ke baad,yeah naam saamne aaya.Pehele to main bohot hansa,naam ajeeb jo tha.Malun na tha Dilli mein aisa bhi koi metro station hain,par jo hain uska kya hi kar sakte hain.Purani Dilli ki tang…

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,…

The Moments of Tranquillity

The constant pressure of work can certainly become overwhelming at times. To escape from this, we tend to run away. It was a similar instance in a regular Wednesday night conversation when we decided to book our tickets and escape from the madness the very next day. The bus left on time from the ISBT…

Coffee aur Chai

Ek karnama aisa ho gaya,Coffee lover ko chai lover se pyaar ho gaya. Jisko bhati thi roasted beans ki khusbu,Aaj lete hain chai ki chuski ka swaad. 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…

Happiness: A state of Mind

After my last blog, I was asked if I had ever been happy throughout my entire life.The question also followed: Was I equally sad in my last relationship?If one scrolls down my blogs, they are filled with my feelings, which are unquestionably dark and sad. But again, they are pretty much real and part of…

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…
