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…

Bas, ab jane do

Thak chuka hoon,so jane do.Mat roko,bas, ab jane do. Bheed ka hissa na ban paya,alag jo tha dusro se.Kadam na chal sake saath,jakri thi beriya kadmo se. Jinke thamne the haath,woh khud liye hain sahara.Sapno ka ghota gala,kuch na ho saka humara. Gairo se mili mohabbat,apno se sahanubhuti.Upkaar si lagti hain zindagi,Shunya ki anubhuti. Ghut…

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…

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…

Sham in the Glam

“Education begins at home. You can’t blame the school for not putting into your child what you don’t put into him.” – Geoffrey Holder This is a very exact thought that comes to your mind when you see the staff of a hospitality chain misbehaving with their guests, who portray to be the most queer-friendly.The…

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…

Step of Memories

Three years, as time flew by; a lot reminded stagnant,The grief persist and so did the memories. As I climbed those stairs, years after we bid goodbye,Each step recalled a moment and so did the feet became, heavy. As I rang the bell, I wish it was you;Then was greeted with the same warmth as…
