शबनम (मुक्तक)

सूखे फूल मुहब्बत के, दिल सहरा है |
चश्मे पुरनम छोड़ो, दरिया गहरा है |
बेपरवा दिखते रंजो-गम से यूँ तो,
क़तरा शबनम बंद पलक पे ठहरा है |

Chap 34 Samar Returns

Memories, whether sweet or sour, are a part of one’s life. They can neither be separated nor merged with the present. To live one has to put them in a soft corner of one’s heart, safe n secure . Ghazal’s life had been a series of such memories, both sweet as well as sour. But such is life                Ghazal’s life revolved around her darling daughter, Vrinda. She had eyes only for her, but with Samar’s friendship entering in her life, it was as if she got a breath of fresh air… Samar with his carefree  yet caring nature had filled a vacuum in her life. She  laughed when he was in touch, missed him when they both were busy in their respective works. It was a pure and clean friendship with a special bonding.          Days flew by and it was the last day of Samar’s training. Both of them were eagerly waiting for the day to pass. Just an hour before Samar took the tr...

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...
