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…

Mera Satrangi Pyaar

Aaj mera pyaar aazad hain. Agar gaur se dekhu, to woh hamesha se hi aazad tha. Mere janm ke baad, Jab sabne mujhe god mein uthaya, Mere mathe ko chuma, Mujhe pyaar se gale lagaya. Woh pyaar hi to tha, Jo ek sparsh se mujhe unse ho gaya. Woh pyaar hi to tha, Jiski takat…

Dil

DilĀ  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…

Dwindling

When I looked through the window, I saw you. I saw you, wrecked. I gazed through your cracks. I saw you, damaged. The sublime rays falling on your body, made your dwindling evident. And then in retrospect, I saw myself. Yes, you reflected me; my soul. Yet, we both; Here, standing tall; Sturdy. The melancholy…

Mulaqat

Seher ki bheed mein thoda waqt mila to aaj khud se phir mulaqat hui. Main wahi tha, Par apni durgati ke saye mein dhundla dikh raha tha. Aacha kiya jo khud ko thora waqt diya, Warna shayad khud hi dhundla pad jata. Roz ki tarha suraj utha, Par ab sayein chat rahe the. Is dauran…

And miles to go before I sleep

The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,But I have promises to keep,And miles to go before I sleep,And miles to go before I sleep.– Robert Frost This year, I walked for Maya. Maya faded fast in May 2017 when he called from work and declared his decision to commit suicide. I tried my level best…

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…

Silhouette

Hey Sunshine,When I stand facing you,What follows, is a shadow. Something that mimics me,Something that mocks,Something that echoes my inner darkened blocks. A dark shadow,A dark reflection of my very own,Yet seamless,Clung to me. What it doesn’t reflect is my shattered soul,My wrecked heart,And the fractured mind. If you look carefully to realize,It’s only you…

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.

Covet

The earth broke apart,All the trails disappeared.The heart broke into endless pieces.How does one convalesce the broken heart?Unfortunate me, the happiness had always remained beyond my reach,But with my pyre, I light the lantern of your happiness.May you be blessed with it wherever you may go,I pray fervently that you thrive and attain your covets.My…
