Tere Pyaar ne adhura shayar bana diya hai mujhko

Tere Pyaar ne adhura shayar bana diya hai mujhko



Tere pyaar ne adhura shayar bana diya hai mujhko,

Na tera pyaar mere liye raha, aur na tu raha,

Sochti hoon kuch likhoon, par kya likhoon,

Na hindi aati hai na urdu,

Angrezi ki grammar bhi adhuri si aati hai,

Kuch kal ke liye likhti hoon, kuch aaj mein,

Kuch bitey hue pal ke liye likhti hoon,

Ab nahi raha koi waqt ka pehra,

Na ghadi ki tick tock sunayi deti hai, 

Na badalte calendar ke panne dikhaye dete hai,

Tere pyaar ne adhura shayar bana diya hai mujhko

Kabhi dhundti hoon main alfaaz gulzar ke lafzo mein,

To kabhi ghalib ki ghazal mein,

Kabhi manto saab ki kahaniya,

Ya phir murakami ki baatein,

Sirf I love you kehne se to baat nahi banti,

Na jaane kyun itne sapne dekhti hoon mein likhne ka,

Shayad na jaane kaunsa nagma tumein phir mujhe apna kar jaaye,

Shayad tumein phir meri oar khinch laaye,

Yun na tum kabhi door gaye ho mere khayalo se,

Lekin phir achanak ye mann yeats ki baat yaad karata hai “in dreams begin responsibilities”

Likhna chahti hoon kuch aisa jisse tere mere charche ho,

Dekhte ho mez pe rakhi kitaab aur kalam,

Intezar kar rahi hai mera likhne ka,

Har ek unkahe lafz mein, ek ummeed chhupi hai,

Tumein phir se manane ek zid chadi hai,

Tere pyaar ne adhura shayar bana diya hai mujhko

(I think most of the inspiration came for this poem when i was making roti and listening to Beyaan Ghalib by Gulzaar saab and Jagjit singh)

    Good God!, All these years never knew you were a poet - and a damn good one too. Wish I could write even half as much.

Thoughts & Review on- Pinto has an idea by Rajeev Saxena

Thoughts & Review on- Pinto has an idea by Rajeev Saxena I am reminded of our young canteen employee, while writing this review. He is a well educated individual, albeit doing a job way below his qualifications.However, unknown and sad his circumstances might be which forced him to take up this job, you can see his ingenious skills in the way he washes the cups, saucers, hangs the kitchen towels to dry, etc. His tea making skills might need a little more practice, but his "jugaad" skills are definitely being put to good use. "Pinto has an idea" by Rajeev Saxena is story of a boy named Rajat Srivastava poplularly known as "Pinto" by everyone. It starts in a small town Atrauli in UP, where Pinto a young innovator, sets his curious mind to solve everything in his life. His first invention being a tool on how to remove the kernels of a corn successfully. This little idea germinates the seed of inventing things in life to make day to day living easy.

Now a woman is a poem...

Now a woman is a poem... Now a woman is a poem, and a man a complex web of words, A woman is a different season every day, and a man at times a calm sea and sometimes roaring waves. A woman is a poem, a beautiful, carved, shapely limb of a tree, a swaying leaf in the wind, or a piece of satin scarf drying on the clothes line. A man is a novel, a premise to be understood and followed, A pipe or a cigar or perhaps a hat, His shadows, his wants and his ambitions. A woman is a poem, filled with oh so few words, simile here, metaphor there, mostly an irony and a master in euphemism, A man is a novel, filled with infinite words, infinite possibility, limitless dreams, and grinding failure. You don't make love to a novel, You make love to a poem, You keep it beside you, perhaps a crumbled paper, hidden in a wallet, an anthem for someone or someone's slogan a vow at the wedding or a sombre word at the funeral.. But a novel at times is so much more, a

Burden of being lovers

 The burden of being lovers Rita stood near the gas stove, waiting for the dal to cook, Her husband languorously sat on the sofa ,waiting for the sms, Their daughter avni waited for the first move from the boy she liked.  The burden of being lovers, It haunts us at the loneliest times , In the crowd,  At the bedside when it's 2 am in the morning In the kitchen when the cooker's whistle blows, it brings Rita out of her memories, In the living room, where her husband wakes up from a mental nap of dreams, Their daughter Avni when she watches a movie while thinking about someone else. This burden of being lovers, The precious time spent thinking, Anticipating, waiting, expecting,  Manipulating our own mind with thousand of thoughts, Why we aren't lovers like before, Rita questions her husband in her mind, Because we are parents, Her husband calculating the installments in his head, The only respite he sees now is the extra bonus, Avni worships the mobile and says a prayer in th
