Uncaged!?
Perching under the vast stretches of sky, some on the naked wire carrying high current, a few on the signboards - still deciding which way to go and most of them on the ground, picking grains, the uncaged birds have their own ballad which sings about their journey. The grains, unfurled by the old man … Continue reading Uncaged!?
Dear Sun!
Every morning, you knock at the window of my heart to nourish me through your divine beauty. I don't stir for some time realising that this might be your another attempt to wake me up from my beautiful dreams but the next moment, I wake up in haste because I don't want to miss that … Continue reading Dear Sun!
This Kind of Wish!
I often think of a moment when the droplets of water furrows down the window amidst the lushful greenery on a rainy day and I, sitting near it in my dimly lighted room to embrace the nacent cool air patting on my face. I do not wish for heavy rain, nor I want the drizzle … Continue reading This Kind of Wish!
The Evolution- ‘Plants’
It was a week before the beginning of monsoon, I was asked by my mom to plant some seeds in the Kitchen-garden. Following her orders, I started the quest to grow some plants in the small cultivable area in front of my house. The first step included leveling the field. Before sowing the seeds, you … Continue reading The Evolution- ‘Plants’

I can also write few lines about the teacher too, who taught me how to write. I can dedicate a few thought to the society as well who taught … Continue reading Some thoughts on “Teacher’s day”
“गुलाब”
"भरी बाहर में एक शाख पे खिला है गुलाब, के जैसे तूने हथेली पे गाल रखा" - अहमद फ़राज़ "जो साथ ना हो वो तो रख लेना अपने हथेली पे गुलाब शायद उनके करीब होने का एहसास हो जाए!"
A Tribute to ‘SSR’
Remembering Sushant Singh Rajput(1986-2020) इतना प्यार और सपोर्ट हमसे सुशांत को पहले दिया होता तो शायद वो आज हमारे बीच होते। बहुमुखी प्रतिभा के धनी, सुशांत का अभिनय और से अलग तथा बिल्कुल नेचुरल है जैसे लगता ही नहीं की वो एक्टिंग कर रहे हो, लगता है जैसे वो जी रहे हो उस पल को, … Continue reading A Tribute to ‘SSR’
A Moment of Anxiety
It is only when you talk with the cool mind, you set the things right. Your anger will take the true people away from you. Words are like the arrow from bow. Once released can never be brought back. All my efforts of settling the things between us, right, turned out to be futile through … Continue reading A Moment of Anxiety
