Aaj subah maa ne bataya, Tum aayi thi kal raat. Thakawt se neend kaafi gahri ho gayi, Isi liye tumhari aahat sun na paya; Ho sake to maanf karna. Suna, kaafi der tak thi tum. Aaj kal mehsoos hota hain tum mujhse kuch khafa si ho; Ek aankh micholi si khel rahi ho. Pichli baar…

Empty Spaces
The heart and mind is empty,As empty as this space.Just like a designer,Even I reconstruct my memories.Like three years ago, the very same day,We raised a toast, for the very first time,With the crystals filled with Jim beam.The ambience smelled Italian,And we were served vegetarian.The music was classic that got the conversation to flow,And I…
The Life Guard
Meet “Mr. Jogendra Behra”, yes that’s how he says his name when asked. He is the life guard of the private beach for the resort I stayed on my recent vacation. He is merely 20 years old and working to support his family. His father is a farmer and doesn’t earn much to run the…
Confluence
Everything was dark around,the planks beneath and so were the feet; cold. The pound under the chest was vigorous,and the mind was dealing with its own hurricane.All he could hear was his deep exhale,a few murmurs behind those thick curtains,which seemed to increase with every subsequent breath. He tiptoed to the centreas if he was…

Moments
On the lonely roads, I wait for you, So that no one can see us together. No questions No complaints, Just cross paths so I can see you and live that moment forever.
I can’t, and I don’t want to
It seems like yesterday, when we met on a random summer evening,The arena was full of innocent souls and was operatic,And the dark night illuminated with a glitter of your eyes.For the sake of my lustre,I don’t want to let you go, my sunshine. The place was new but the people were known,Where the song…
It was pouring today
With the sound of it,I felt like calling and telling you,Here goes another rainy day without you.Today, will you come and stand next to me and complete my monsoon?Hey, it’s pouring today. Walking on the terrace, contemplating,Didn’t know what to do.All I wanted was to hold you tight and inundate with you,Hold my hands, walk…
Witful
I was flowing in the wild, like the marram grass. Dry and gusty, and was so jaunty. You sneaked into my life, hiding in the mist. Quenching my eternal thirst, with your dripping tears. I bestowed myself with your dews of love, wilful that I will be clammy forever.
