Unsaid


So much left unsaid,
waiting for a reply..
If only tombstones could speak

Letters to self 2

Dear self,

I last wrote about the Sunday where I managed to carve out some me time. The week has been a blur with lots of work, late nights, juggling home and office and a tooth ache.. I have been writing a lot of letters though.. which is quite welcoming in the otherwise mundaneness of everyday..

Today, I was asking myself - what is it with defining your own crazy? Why do you need it? Who do you need that wee bit extra? There are so many just content with mundane .. what are you seeking and why? 

So, my logical self will always draw up a list of why’s and try and put a rationale to it. I tried doing that . The fact that we all need self time, we need something which defines us , what is crazy, isn’t that relative etc... 

But, this truly defies logic ... it’s just how one is made.. some will get it, some will not.  However, if at your core you are someone who always likes odds or wants that extra piece then 

To be continued...

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, 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



Marigold
