Anondo

Aaj shei Falgun,

Rodh ei hawah,

Hawah boye rodh.

Ektu mishti bhaab,

Shei belli Phool

Er gondo hawai .

Aaj Robibar,

Anek golpo anek boi,

Pencil dei hawa aanka,

Ki anondo aakash ei batash ei.

Today is the advent of spring

There is a sun with the breeze

The breeze carries the sun

Bit of sweetness in the air

Gorgeous jasmine flowers 

Spread the fragrance in the air

Today is Sunday

Lots of stories and books

Trying to draw the wind with a pencil

So much joy in the sky and wind..

In search of Darcy………

Its inexplainable

Unfathomable

As enticing as obnoxious

The dark, dreary and deep

To delve in pride

Sometimes vain

Sometimes prejudicial

Most often lonely

Anyone in possession

Of good fortune

Must want a life

Bennet or not

A certain struggle

With vanity

Be it arrogance or conceit

Or a mere self-disdain

Untamed freedom

A mind of your own

Searching for love

And hating it too

.. In search of Darcy

जागो

वो सूखी परत

चाई की भुली प्याली पे

वो नए चाँदी और सफ़ेद

काले केसूँ के बीचों बीच

वो नयीं किताब

पे धूल के ढेर उधेर

वो स्कूल की सहेली

के जन्मदिन पे भुला एक कोल

वो बक्से में बंध घुंगरू

को हर साल संभाल कर रखना

वो अपनी सम्भाली खाते 

में अंगिनिथ अधूरे कहानियाँ

वो अंकहे अनसूने अल्फ़स 

हम  दोनो की बीच

वो जल्द गुज़रती यह जिंदिगनी

अधूरा , अनदेखा बहुत कुछ

कुछ याद दिलाती, कुछ उकसती

ख़ुद को जगा के रख, ऐ मुसाफ़िर

Smoke and fire

Brishti

Tapur tupur 

Sounds of relief

Of greener greens

Muddy boots

Puddles and pours

Cloud bursts 

The whiff

Fresher 

Purer 

A newness 

That first rain

Heart full and 

Rain felt today

You...

Just like that first bite of Parle g biscuit dipped in kadak chai,

That warm fuzzy blanket after a tiring day,

That smile when you pick your bags to start a holiday,

Garam Gulab Jaamun  with ice cream at that unknown wedding party,

The wet slurpy kiss from a baby,

That perfect sunset shot ,

You were as soul satisfying as all of them at once... 

Serendipity

A chance meeting

A forgotten text 

The silent flirting 

The lost album

A moment to be beyond yourself

A point which is a discovery

Discovering yourself

An adventure, a chance, 

Losing and finding yourself again

Find your serendipity moment...

Feel alive...
