I have been watching the sunset again. Observing how it takes a dip in the sea coloring the sky orange. I’m waiting for you Waiting to walk into the darkness together As the sun bids me goodbye it reminded me of you that even though you were leaving I still watched. Hoping, maybe this time […]
RELATIONSHIP
I don’t look like “married”…….but how does that bother you?
Few days back a woman came to me for treatment who had encountered multiple fractures because of domestic violence. After crying for half an hour about his alcoholic husband, she asked me “You are married recently na? Why don’t you look like one?” I asked her “Why do you apply this thick sindoor”. “For security,” […]

Those Moments Like ordering everything on the menu Just to watch you try to make me eat it all Forgetting everything that shouldn’t be And getting your call to get s reminder Those Moments of endless talks Trying unsuccessfully to flirt my way So that you get the clue Those moments Like finally having the […]
Postcard from P – Don’t let go of your “typewriter”
Dear little boys and girls Today i write a postcard to you where i talk about “your” typewriter. You know you will grow up reading, listening to the fact that you shouldn’t get attached to little things. Clinging on is a negative word, so i won’t use that. But you know, setting up little goals […]
कुछ लम्हों में सिर्फ प्रेमिका बन कर रह जाती है वो
कुछ लम्हों में सिर्फ प्रेमिका बन कर रह जाती है वो उतार फेंकती है वो सब कुछ जो ओढ़ लिया है ज़िन्दगी की तरह जब जॉर्डन के साथ देती है जवाब “और कहीं रह नहीं पाउँगा मैं”….हीर के पूछने पर जब मिन्नत करती है वेद को कि मिला दे उसे खुद से कभी और तारा […]
इक उदास शहर का वादा
इक उदास शहर में एक गुलाबी रात चाँद से उतर कर जब एक किस्सा लिखा जा रहा था सतरंगी दुपट्टे में तो वो बेरंग शहर चमक उठा था टिमटिमाते रंगों में महलों से झांकती उदास खिड़कियाँ यूँ हँस दी थी किसी के साथ कहते हैं लोग कि गुलाबी बिखर गया था पलाश के पीले पत्तों सा […]

ट्रेन यात्रा के मेरे किस्सों में कल बहुत प्यारी सी कहानी जुड़ गयी. बीच सफ़र में, एक परिवार मेरी सामनी वाली सीट पर आ कर बैठा, पति, पत्नी और उनकी छोटी सी बेटी जिसका नाम पिहू था.पर सिर्फ ये तीन साथ में सफ़र कर रहे हो ऐसा नहीं था- पिहू के दो दोस्त भी थे- […]
The Two Love………..
There are two kinds of people Who will walk through that door One which will make you comfortable Like a coffee at a quaint sunset One who will look at you with A shine in their eyes One who will buy you chocolates That tastes familiar One who will ask you out for a dance […]
I just want to sleep
A little drizzle lays bare On a face with a salty tint the naked arms which shiver Of cold , of pain, of breathless whispers I try to speak and I choke of dreams Amid the fading away of screams Turn by turn scars shout It’s Me! It’s Me! It’s Me! out loud I dust […]
