किताब (नज़्म)

पन्ने दर पन्ने खुलते
कुछ अनकहे
कुछ अनजाने
कुछ अपने
कुछ बेगाने से एहसास
सिमटी है पूरी कायनात
सियाह-ओ-सफ़ेद हर्फ़ों में
कुछ अलफ़ाज़ मुहब्बत के
कुछ कतरे दर्द के
किस्से दोस्ती के
बेवफ़ाई के
सिमटी है यादें
महकती सी
सिसकती सी
अबूझ सी पहेलियाँ कल की
अधखिली ख्वाहिशें
अधूरे ख्व़ाब
क़लमबंद है सभी कुछ
मगर कब पढ़ पाए हम
वक़्त से पहले
जो तय किया
उस क़लमकार ने
क्यूंकि वही तो
क़लमकश है
वही कारसाज़ भी
उस 'किताब' का
जिसे कहते है 'ज़िन्दगी' |

Chap 20 Can Life Take A U-turn

A strange feeling of  emptiness had crept in with their returning to her grandparents house, as if she had left a part of her at Arun’s house, which had been her home once. Last few weeks had been very different from the time she had spent years ago just after her marriage to him. Those days had been filled with bitterness, owing to his possessive nature and his misunderstandings related to her friendship with Mihir. His ego and his orthodox views had prevented him to understand the purity of her friendship with Mihir, who was everything to her, a best friend, a brother, a mentor, a guide…. They shared a bonding which was so pure that no one, who had known them, had ever attached anything dark with their friendship.                She guessed, now that he had realised his folly, Arun was more at peace with himself and that had reflected in his behaviour recently, and hence that reconciling call to Mihir. But it...

The Unsent Letter

-
Meeting you was a gift from time ! Yes it was destiny, which brought us together  But had time not favoured us, We might have lost the connection... This friendship had never even began its journey, The special bonding we built unknowingly, Would never have been founded, We could have never known  The comfort which seeped slowly between us, So much so that distances never mattered after that. The instant my phone beeped or rang, You were there beside me, as if a soul hotline connected us instantly, One which our minds created But our hearts generated. Then one day we decided to meet... You seemed very excited So was I, yet there was something different  Deep down in my being,  I felt as if this was not something new, As if i was reliving a scene, Already shot before and saved ! We had been together before, In a single frame, More than once  As if a song picturized with a single still photograph on the screen... May be it was a memory of some distant dream, dista...

ज़ायके से जश्न-ए-बहारा तक

ज़ायके से जश्न-ए-बहारा तक  मांडलगढ़ दुर्ग से वापसी का सफ़र उतना ही आसान रहा जितनी चढ़ाई दुरूह लगी थी, कारण ये कि जिस राह गए थे उससे कहीं आसान वो रास्ता था जिससे हम लौट रहे थे। लौटने की राह हमने अनजाने ही अलग चुन ली थी जैसे कोई राह दिखा रहा हो ... दुर्ग के बाहर चट्टानों पर मंद बहती शीतल हवा का अहसास लौटते हुए भी साथ रहा और हम बढ़ चले थे अपने अगले पड़ाव चित्तौड़गढ़ की ओर । अलसुबह के सफ़र में कुदरत के जलवे हज़ार हों पर एक कमी शिद्दत से खलने लगी थी अब कि कहीं कुछ खाने के लिए नहीं दिखा था अब तक। साथ में परांठे, अचार, नमकीन, मीठा, बिस्कुट, चिप्स सभी कुछ था पर हम स्ट्रीट फूड तलाश रहे थे जिसका मज़ा सिर्फ रोड ट्रिप पर ही सबसे ज्यादा आता है 😍😋                 फिर आया वो मोड़ जहाँ से स्टेट हाईवे की ओर मुड़ना था। ब्रिज के नीचे से रास्ता कट रहा था चित्तौड़ के लिए और ठीक उसी ब्रिज के नीचे कढ़ी-कचौरी, कढ़ी-समोसे की स्टॉल से आती मनभावन खुशबू ने गाड़ी के ब्रेक स्वतः लगवा दिए☺️ गरम कचौरी, समोसे छोले चटनी और उबलती हुई राजस्थानी कढ़ी के साथ, इससे बढ़िया दिन की शुरुआत हम राजस्थान...
