Poetry 9 :- A solitary walk!!

Leonardo AI

I came for a solitary walk,
When I met a lone pigeon
Sitting on a stair of bricks
I wonder- is he lonely tonight?

Taking a step near to him
But afraid of trespassing
His privacy
I choose to sit at a distant from him.

Giving him company
& sharing his loneliness
I wonder how he could
Sit in one posture for such a long time?
Or is he meditating with open eyes?

Well! I lie down on the floor
& start gazing at the stars
Twinkling, shimmering, litter stars
Over the vast space
And I lose myself in them
With pigeon on my side!!

Afraid to Leave the Inner Cave of Darkness?

all-we-imagine-as-light All We Imagine As Light ~ The movie that I watched recently, is about the struggle of three women and their own journey in dealing with it. For a moment, I thought to put a brief background about the movie, its three protagonists, their struggle and how they come out of it. But that would take away the awe being experienced while watching the movie on screen. So, this post is about a dialogue towards the end where the female protagonist, Prabha. She is having a hallucination of having a conversation with her husband who has left her long ago after their marriage. Her husband went to Germany, leaving her behind and she has been dealing with this emotional struggle since long and now, when she is imagining a stranger, whom she rescued, as her husband; she says to him. ‘ तुम इतने सालों में बहुत बदल गए हो ’ To which he replied. " वहां कई दिन ऐसे होते थे, जब मैं गोदाम में लंबे समय के लिए फंसा रह जाता था। ना दिन का पता चलता था, ना रात का  मैं तीन- चार दिन के बाद ...

मेरे ‘मैं का मोहल्ला’!

एक मोहल्ला मेरा भी है जिसकी नीव ही डर और असुरक्षा है डर, असुरक्षा; हाँ, रिश्ता गहरा है यहाँ  पल-पल अपनी वृत्तियों को  हावी होता देखती हूँ,  उन  बंधनों को तोड़ने के बजाय  उनसे भीतर ही भीतर लड़ बैठती हूँ,  कभी आलस, कभी चिंता कभी ग्लानी तो कभी गुस्सा  कभी बक बक करता हुआ बोलता ये मन, कभी झूठी आशा, तो कभी ख़ुद से वो किये गए सतही सुधार हेतु संकल्प  एक चक्र है जो ये मैरी गो राउंड का झूला जो है ये  प्रतीत होता है, जैसे हवा में झूल  रही हूँ  सच तो ये हैं, इस चक्र में बस जकरी हुई हूँ ||  इस बस्ती में पड़ोसन भी है रिश्ते जो कर्मकाण्ड में मधहोश पड़े हैं, क्या करें क्या न करें.; जो है आधार इनका कृष्ण के ‘कर्ता’ से जो बेहद दूर खड़े हैं, हंसती हूँ खुद पर अज्ञानता ने  शिकार जो किया इसी बस्ती में अपना मोहल्ला  बसाने का चुनाव जो मैंने किया सोचती हूँ , कभी यूँही जब आएगी, वो  आखिरी घड़ी  लूंगी जब मैं अंतिम सांस तो क्या सुकून से आंखे मूंद पाऊँगी? या फिर ये रिश्तेदार, समाज उस वक्त भी सर पर जंजीरें ले खड़े रहेगें ? उस वक्त भी अप...

The Room on the Roof- Ruskin Bond !! A Journey with Rusty!!

room-on-the-roof-ruskin-bond Over the past few months, I have not been reading and writing properly. When I say properly, I actually mean my diet of reading, that fills me. That heals the noise within me. And the consequence has turned out to be, of course, not so good. Binge watching has actually slaved me. Okay- enough of complaints. At the back of my mind, I hate complaining but somehow that’s how my ego - little self is, complaining, this is what it does.  binge-watching So, I decided today that I am going to sit back, turn my phone off, and read something light, something light and fulfilling.  And guess what? Like always, I go back to Ruskin Bond. Ruskin Bond’s first novel- The Room on the Roof.  the-room-on-the-roof-ruskin-bond As Ruskin Bond says- its a novel about adolescence by an adolescence, longing for love and family, written out of loneliness. Well! I don’t know my reason to reach out to this novel because i am no longer an adolescent, and i am far far away...
