डायरी से

-

पुरानी डायरी के उन बोसीदा पन्नों में
एक वरक़ नया सा है अब भी,
तमाम खारी बारिशें नहीं धो पायीं
उस पर उकेरे अल्फ़ाज़,
वही वरक़ तो गवाह रहा है
ख़ुश्क रातों में जागती नम आंखों का
हवाओं से बारहा लड़ते उम्मीद के चराग़ का
धुंधले ख़्वाबों के पार झलकते रंगों का ...
वही एक पन्ना तो अब तक संभाले है
मटियाते शब्दों की उस जर्जर इमारत को !

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...

Chap 9 BUNNY,her childhood friend

-
Ghazal missed Samar more than she had imagined. Daytime was easy to pass as she was busy in school but in the evenings she missed him a lot. Although they messaged each other whenever possible,yet it was their chats and his funny comments she missed the most. She wanted to share so much with him,all her memories,good n bad. Memories of her childhood n those carefree days which she had shared with her best friend,Mihir.    Mihir whom she called BUNNY teasingly as he was fair n a little on the healthy side. Although he had grown up to be a handsome guy,yet the childhood name still existed between them.As a kid he used to run after her when she teased him,but now he only smiled at her with affection in his eyes.No one was allowed to call him with this name as she had the copyright to do so.They had so much fun playing their favorite games (cricket n chess )which were even Vrinda's favorites now. Together they used to play pranks on their school friends and mostly got away with ...
