कैसे पहचानोगे
जो ख़ुद ने छिपा रखा है
वो चेहरा अलग है जो
नज़रों ने बना रखा है
कई बार कोशिश की
नक़ाब उतार फेंक देने की
नक़ाब नज़रों ने
अलग सा पहना रखा है
जिस दिन अपना कवच निकाल,
नंगे बदन में, दुनिया से मिलूँगा
ख़ुद को दुनिया में
दुनिया को खुदको में पाऊँगा
फिर ना ज़रूरत होगी
किसी पहचान की
और ना कोई नक़ाब
चेहरे पे टिकेगा
हर चेहरा मेरा अक्स होगा
हर नज़र मेरी रोशनी होगी
बंद आँखों से
हर नज़ारा, साफ़ नज़र आयेगा
कैसे पहचानोगे
जो तुम्हारा अक्स है
वो चेहरा
जो सब में नज़र आता है
Do you have any collections?
My words,
unsaid
Accumulated, it lies
They merge
Randomly
Into something wise
Now i speak
Pouring it all out
Like a chant
It’s mine
My collection
It’s all I want
Have you ever broken a bone?
😄😄
How do you balance work and home life?
Balance is relevant
If they hang in balance
What would you balance
If I don’t carry a weight
What do you think?
Who feels the weight?
Why do we feel the weight?
Unsure
Because i need
Some more
Worried
What’s kept for me
in store
Someday
I will be full
Empty
What does freedom mean to you?
It’s free
If I don’t have to pay
For all, that I do
And there is no one
to ask or say
It’s free
If, there is no bind
To go wherever I want
With none to seek,
nothing to find
It’s free
If I am in love
With all that I like
And when
there is none, that I don’t
I am free
When I feel free
When there is no need
To tell and prove,
that I am free
When there is no
Rhyme or reason
No purpose, no goal
Even to be free
That would be freedom
And anything else
that needs to be…

Do read
I have shared a part of me
Maybe it will resonate
Maybe it would be a different song
Maybe it would echo in you
And resonate
Well as they say, there is an opportune time for everything.
It feels amazing to finally share this achievement with all of you. My book, Me Verses Me, published by BookLeaf Publishing, is now available to order on Amazon.”
I am a passionate writer. But was a reluctant author. I was prodded and egged on by my daughter Anjali who remained steadfast in pushing me to complete a set of 50 poems.
“A book of tussle.
A tale of churn.
To find the Me
Dissolved in Me”
Do let me know how it echoes in you. Will look forward to your honest feedback 😊🥰
List the people you admire and look to for advice…
The list is long
Of all those I see
It’s the man on the street
The woman too
Or any other version of god
The eyes that meets me half way
And the ones that avert
The asleep one, on the bus
The talkative one, on the flight
The wife
The daughters
The parents, friends and family
The world outside
And the bigger one inside
Above all
The one that stares at me,
in the mirror
What are your favorite emojis?
Smile
It works
Curving the lips
Conveying the calm inside
Peace
