Bheeg Lu Aaj Mai Tere Baarish Mai

Valley bounty with apples. Fresh, ripe, sweet. Green and red. With this fresh wind singing tales of adventure, valley echoing untold poems, rivers telling bards of far off caves, pastures waving at u, mountains enticing u to explore their curves. 
I still feel uneasy. I realise apple a day keeps doc away. And u r the apple of my eye. Staying away from u, has left me connection less. 
I wanna return to the garden of abode and take a bite of u.

Aaj Mai Udega

Hum udte bhi toh kyu udde 
Shikare ke beech, tez hawao mai, tapti dhoop mai, garajte baarish ke beech
Udte hai kyu ki manzil dur hai, humaree eradee Badee. 
Udte hai kyuki Upparse sab chotte late hai - humaree pareshaneya, 
Hum udte hai kyuki puree Kahani aankho ke saamne khulta hai
Hum udte hai kyuki Duniya Badee hai aur humme karne hai usko mukamal
Lekin udde bhi toh kitna. Pankh jabtak saath de. Pair tarasne lagenge zameen. Fir hum aashiyaan banayeenge. Lekin, aaj hum udenge

Zindagi Ho Tum

Sometimes you are like a river
Full of strength and determination. 
Crossing over boulders, whispering a song and dancing. U find ways between obstacles and flow freely 
Sometimes u r a sea. Calm and beautiful. 
Connecting places
Sometimes you are the ocean. Mighty, Deep and pondering. Only brave people try to cross u. 
Sometimes u are a pond. People and bugs flock around u and corrupt u. 
Sometimes u r an oasis. The one source amidst the desert. The source of inspiration and savior. 
But in the end, u r the source of life. You ate the elixir of life

Aadhooriyan

Woh adhoore vaade, adore tarasee, adore haseeya, adhoore khushiya, adhoore selfie, adore aalap(dialogue), adhoore aalingan(hug), adhoore mulaqaat, adhoore nyochavar(sacrifice), adhoora pyar, yeh adore kavita.
Uske benaa reh gya mera jeevan adhoora. Lekin uska dil adhoora tah.
Hum ek hee chath ke neeche reh toh nhi sake, bass isme khush rahunga ki hum ek hee ambar ke neeche jee liyee (I could not get to meet you under the same roof. I had to be content with fact that we lived under the same sky).
Tum din mai mujhe nhi mile, raat ke sapno se ghush rha.
Tumhare sparsh adhoore tah lekin mera dil ne tumhe  dharan rakha(hold).
Adoora reh gya uske jawaab, adhoora reh gye uske pyar, kyuki use koe fikar nhi, jaise koe nadee jo samundar tak pahuch naa paya.
Tunne mera sab kuch adhoora kardiya, mai tanha sa reh gya…… Hai! kaun kabhaqt itna adoorapan seh sakta hai

रूह से बहती हुई धून ये इशारे दे कुछ मेरे राज़ तेरे राज़ आवारा से

Tangalle agee bandeeya nanna baalale. Hum yaadein banker reh jayeenge. Wada karoo enn yadoo ko bhul na jaogee tum. Mai bhul jau, yeh sambhav nhi hoga, tum bhul jaoo yeh mai honee nhi dungaa.
One regret Ive is not getting to know u earlier in the year itself. Khudaa se yehi shiqayat hai. Even if I’m a joke to u, ill be content that it made u smile. Woo becheneyaa. The restlessness is driving me mad, but I need to contain my feelings. Coz the stupid heart has fallen again. Eventhough it knows it shall get broken. I couldn’t get enuf tym to see that radiant smile of urs. I have to make do with ur dp. I check it out before sleeping, after I wake up. I want to build this ahead, but I contain myself. I don’t mind getting hurt. It is you I don’t want to hurt.

The Cherry Tree - Even a single flower blooming signifies start of Spring

The Cherry Tree

In a room full of trophies, id still want u

In a room full of treasures, id still treasure u

In a world full of beautiful places, ur eyes is where I want to get lost in

In a world full of music, those three words from u is all I crave

In a room full of books, id still want to read u

In a room full of silk, id still want to feel u

In a room full of cherries, ill still cherish u

In a world full of poetry, u r my poem

In a world full of smiles, urs is the one the heart aches for

In a garden full of flowers, urs is the fragrance I desire

In a park full of butterflies, U r the one I’d chase

In a world full of mysteries, ur the one I wish to spend my time on

In a world full of madness, oh crazy one! Ur separation is what drives me mad

In a desert full of sand, u r the oasis I seek

In a world full of delicacies, ur lips is what I desire

In a night full of stars, id still watch you. Coz u r my star

Id give up anything for ya, All I ask for is ur tym. Coz u r my moon. And I am the tide rushing to your shore.

The Manager - Scribblings of a kid


I stumbled upon a story I had written on a piece of paper on a boring summer afternoon. Most of my childhood writings were lost, so this was like finding a treasure. I laugh at the naivety of the writing - but not ashamed of it. Putting it up verbatim. It is based on a football manager who helps the Indian soccer team.
