निरंतर

उम्र का ये अजीब दौर है !
जिम्मेदारियों की तल्ख़ धूप भी
तो तन्हाई में पसरी परछाइयाँ भी...
अपने लिए छांव का एक टुकड़ा तलाशती,
जलती हुई पगथलियां,
शाम ढलने तक भूल जाती है तपिश...
रात और नींद के संघर्ष के बीच
क्षणिक सा विश्राम
और फिर लौट आना
अजनबी परछाइयों का...
बेचैन करवटों के साथ अगली सुबह का इंतज़ार ..
जैसे अल्प युद्ध विराम के बाद
लौट आना युद्ध क्षेत्र में !

With the marriage date fast approaching, preparations had begun in both the families.        One fine morning when Ghazal was making a list of items to be purchased, Vaibhav called asking her to meet him at their favorite ice-cream parlor. Ghazal agreed to meet him there in fifteen minutes, sensing his discomfort, but not asking anything. At the parlor, Vaibhav was already there and met her at the entrance and taking their ice creams sat down in one corner. “Is something wrong Shona ?

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.

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...

After a troubled sleep at night, Ghazal woke up with the alarm clock buzzing. She had a terrible headache, then she remembered Samar… She prayed silently hoping everything was all right. Hastily she finished her daily chores , got herself and Vrinda ready and just before leaving for school, she logged in on fb. Her eyes filled up with tears, blurring her vision for a while. Her inbox had a message from Samar: GOOD MORNING kUCHI !! SORRY COULDN’T MESSAGE YESTERDAY DUE TO NETWORK PROBLEM…..MISSED YOU HAVE A NICE SMILING DAY Her face lit up with a smile, and taking a sigh of relief, she quickly typed a message : GOOD GOOD MORNING CHIKU….
