Good days bad days.

Yeh kaisa dastoor hai
Humara kya kasoor hai?
Chin gaya humse woh
Joh aakhri sahara tha
Kho gaya humara woh
Joh khasti ka kinara tha
Kiska tha kasoor
Joh raha Yeh dastoor?

Manzil ki khoj mein
Raahein bhi gum gayi
Is hawa ko koi rok de
Umeedein bhi ud gayi
Nain pathra gaye
Pathar ki aawaz sunne
Ke intezaar mein
Aansu bhi murjha gaye.
Raahein na rahi ab bas
Ek Registaan bacha hai
Paani sirf aankhon
Mein dikhta hai.
Saaya bhi mera ghatta
Chala gaya
Joh dekha tha sapna
Jalta chala gaya.

I wrote letters to santa
Pleading for the good days
He burnt and threw my letters.
I fell in a dilemma
I lost hope in him.
Then came the storm
And I saw the bad days
Only then I realized
Those were the good days
And I write letters to santa
Begging for the old days.

  On 1 January 2021, I landed back to Delhi from my trip to Kashmir. I reached home, talked to my family. My mother was a bit unwell and my brother was hopping around the house like a squirrel. The moment I lay on my bed, I instantly missed Kashmir. Delhi is a modern, jazzed up song that makes you move and laugh but Kashmir was an old song that you heard someone, whispering in metro and searched all over the internet to listen to it. And when you finally listen to it, you forget who you are and where are you going. It makes you fall in love. Yes, Kashmir was known to me only by whispers and news but when I myself got there it was completely different. There was one agathokakological statement that kept coming in my mind, “If there is heaven on earth, it is here, it is here, it is here.” Jannat-e-Kashmir was indeed heaven by all the looks of it. There are snow capped mountains and cool breeze, dry leaves and tall trees. The first time I walked on snow, my boots went straight insid...

Gullak

Ghar mein koi keemti tizori toh Nahi Par usse zyada khaas ek gullak zaroor hai Yaadon Ki gullak Jismein Maa ki lori yaaron ki yaari Jadugaron ki kahani Baarish ke paani mein tairti kagaz ki kashti Khule hue feete Bheegi hui uniform Kaju ki barfi aur gol gappon ka paani hai Yeh yaadon ki gullak mein Aansuon se seeche podhe Humseha taaze rehte hain Woh keemti lamhe usmein kaid rehte hain Woh gullak waqt ke saath ghar ke kisi purane kamre ki Purani almari ki Dehti daraaz mein reh jaati hai Par jab bhi duniya se thak kar Zindagi se jhagad kar Ghar lautte hain toh kadam us kamre ke paas thehar jaate hain andar jaa Kar jab us almari ki daraaz khol Woh gullak dekhte hain toh Woh purana kamra Woh khurdari deewar Woh tooti kursi Aur woh jaalon waali khidki Bahut khooburat lagti hai Woh kamra ghar Ka sambse apna hissa lagta hai Us bakse ko seene se laga so jaate hain Agli subah us gullak aur kamre ko band kar ek Baar phir duniya se jhoonjhne Aur Zindagi se jhagad...

Run

It's becoming difficult now. Every moment I feel like running away. I don't want to live like this. I don't like my home. I don't want to call it home. This isn't going right. I want to be free. I feel like locked up. I don't have a opinion of my own nor do I have choices of my own. This has to end. Or someday I will end myself. I feel like dying. Not physically. But mentally. There are clouds surrounding me. The clouds that want me to come to sky. To be free. To have no limits. No boundations. Just me and my dreams. I want to go woth them. I wish I had the courage to do so. But that is not possible. With all the responsibilities that are on my shoulders and all the people who look forward on me. I cannot hurt them. Even if in return I have to hurt myself every single day. I am afraid of my own shadow. It tells me how dark my world is. I want to be left alone. But then, I suffer pangs of loneliness every single moment. This has to end. I can't live like this...
