Describe your ideal week.

ये ख़ाली रात
इंतज़ार से भर गई
जब समेटने लगे
तो मोहब्बत के सिवा कुछ ना मिला
नींद को लेके कहीं दूर चलीं हैं,
कुछ फ़िक्र की झुर्रियाँ
और जब मुड के देखा तो
रुकी हुई सुइयों के सिवा कुछ ना मिला
कदम बड़े हिसाब से उठे
लहरों से बच कर ज़िंदगी चली
पाओं के निशान पर जो इतराना चाहा
लहरों के सिवा, और कुछ ना मिला
बड़ी रफ़्तार रही होगी कदमों की
सबसे आगे जो निकल गये हैं
अकेले बैठे जब जश्न का समा बनाया तो
बिखरे हुए रिश्तों के सिवा और कुछ ना मिला
अब सुबह होने को है
अब नज़र खुली है, अब जाग गया हूँ
आँख मल कर, ज़िंदगी को देखा तो
मोहब्बत के सिवा और कुछ ना मिला



How do you relax?
Legs on the desk
Hands meshed in my hair
Stretching back as much
Till that creaking sound of my chair
Breathing slow, easy and steady
Sliding into deep sleep, without a care
Snoring loudly, in no discernible rhythm
Oblivious and without a care
In those dreams, I am the boss
And no employees to worry me there
My dream world is mine
I am the only one there
Taking a flight
Wearing a suit and a tie
Or a swimming
in blue waters mirroring the sky
Twirling the fingers
in the white warm sand
Lying on the belly
Cheeks resting on the sand
The sun is warm, not scorching
Heat controls are in my hand
Siting and gazing beyond the horizon
Watching the seagulls glide and land
Then, Alas the invasion happened
My entire world is shaken
With what seemed like a jolt
My world, my peace is taken
I am jolted from my blissful world
Beamed up to the busy one
I had my time to relax
Now aimlessly I will embark on my run


She ‘Pushed’ the door
While on my side it was written ‘Pull’
I felt it was wrong
She was sure it was right

I see the world
Full of wonders
My eyes do
I hear the sound
Vibrant and clear
My ears do
I smell and taste
Some nice, some foul
My nose and tongue do
In my mind
I make stories
Vivid and true
The world is out there
There is one inside too
which one is true?
What’s your favorite recipe?
To cook is a dream
