शौक है

-
गुत्थे सुलझाने का,
धुँध में गुम हो जाने का,
शौक है ।

किस्से सुनाने का,
गीत गुन-गुनाने का,
शौक है ।

गिर के उठ जाने का,
बस चलते जाने का,
शौक है ।

खुशियों में डूब जाने का,
मीठे आंसू बहाने का,
शौक है ।

माटी पर नंगे पैर चलते जाने का,
बाँए से दाँय मुड जाने का,
शौक है ।

लम्बी साँसों में खो जाने का,
उड़ते-उड़ते सो जाने का,
शौक है ।

बेदखल लिखते जाने का,
लफ़्ज़ों में खो जाने का,
शौक है ।

और शौकीनों संग मुस्कुराने का,
कहीं दूर पहुँच जाने का,
शौक है ।

अँधेरे में दिख जाने का,
उजाले में छिप जाने का,
शौक है ।

सूरज को छू जाने का,
बेवजह थक जाने का,
शौक है ।

और शौक़ीन हो जाने का,
मुस्कुराते जाने का,
बस, ज़िन्दगी जीते जाने का,

शौक है
शौक है
शौक है...

The TEA garden visit!

Priyanka Vadra in a tea Garden in Assam  8:08 pm, Jorhat First of all, I am really sorry for not posting my blog this Sunday. I have been busy buying, setting my new house here. But meanwhile, I along with my wife took a short trip in the city, to the world famous tea gardens. I had always seen them in movies or television. In fact, recently I saw an image of Priyanka Vadra visiting a tea garden (image). Jorhat is not huge city, but it is a town of a good size, where all the points of my motive, have been just around 15 to 20 minutes. That is the size of the town.  We have recently bought a two-wheeler and it has come as a boon to travel across the city. We have bought a sky-blue coloured Vespa (Pic) and we are loving taking random trips on it. Our new Vespa. The Estate Entrance So this Sunday morning, we got ready and left for Cinnamara tea estate, Jorhat. It was established in the year 1850, by the British East India company. The land was owned by Maniram Dewam, who later to...

With TIME...

In a debate with time, I lose, with a smile. I know the big plan, but not the daily answers. In the debate, time laughs at me, but like a satisfied loser, I smile. I might work hard, and be a winner all the way, but some answers, are always with time, just with time. Like a guilty loser, I wait, with a smile...

Memories of my 'Chhote Mama'!

Hyderabad,  August, 2020. When he was born, he was the younger brother. So, his parents named him 'Chhote'. Even his younger siblings called him 'Chhote' bhaiyya (younger brother). My chhote mama recently passed away because of Covid. It is painful, because it happened very soon, and from a man who was walking freely, to a straight pan dead body! I don't want to cry now, because I have admired my Chhote mama's (uncle) positive patience, always from a very young age. It is one feature of his personality which I had admired.  I am sharing some of the memories, which I have cherished all my life, some memories, which are pretty clearly imprinted on my mind, some time I had spent with him alone. Let us begin: MEMORY-1 Secunderabad, 1994 I was little! My mama had come to our place in Trishul Line, Secunderabad. These are some very clear visual memories of Trishul line. Our house was on the ground floor. He had come home.  He asked me, "Do you sleep outside?...
