WAQT

 




Hathon me waqt
Aur mann  me halchal hai 
Ghumsum se in andhero me
Akela ,bas soche ja raha hu.
Sawaal, puche jaa raha hu

Akhir beta kaisa hu mai?
kaisa dost ban gaya hu?
Akhir insaan kaisa ban gaya hu mai?

Sawalaon ke jawaab milte nahi,
Theher si gayi hai zindagi kahin
Iss thame waqt ke pahiyo ko chalata
Kahi batak sa gaya hu main!

Bachpan hi toh tha kal tak
Aaj zimmedariyo ko sambhal raha hu main
Maa ki Kahahinyo aur maa ko batane wali kahaniyo
Me batta sa gaya hu main

Aakhir beta kaisa ban gaya hu mai?

Akelepan ki thodi lat si lag gayi hai,
dhuri rakhne ki aadat si ho gayi hai,
In tanahiyo me sukoon sa mil raha hai 
Woh chanchal man bas chup horaha hai

Yaaron ki yaad hume bhi aati hai,
Unki hassi aaj bhi dil lubhati hai

Par aajkal bas khudme mai hi kahi
dhuba jaa raha hu,
Khud mai kahin khoya  jara hu!
Khudko khojne ki koshish me
Unko bhulaye ja raha hu main

Aakhir dost kaisa ban gaya hu mai?

Zindagi ke liye lad rahe log
Ummedo ke sahar jee rahe hai

Aur main yahan bas lete huye
Zamaane se nazre chura raha hu!
Zindagi daude ja rahi hai
Aur main chal bhi nahi paa raha hu

mera bhi dil dukhta hai,
Ruh meri bhi chubti hai,
Par roh roh ke mann thak sa gaya hai!
lagta hai ye lamha tham sa gaya hai

Aakhir insaan kaisa hu mai??

Kal fir uthunga 
Uss darwaze ke bahar
Chalti zindagi ko dekh ke sochunga
ki jawab aaj bhi koi nahi hai kya?

Street Art - The Voice of Mumbai's Urbanity

“Art imitates life.”  Art is a mirror showing the beautiful and grotesque face of our world. Through time, all forms of art have been windows into social structures, lifestyles, and beliefs of civilizations. Transformative art has evolved over centuries as the voice of people of their times, inspiring change from a shift in social norms to war revolutions.  ["Humanity" at Sassoon Docks. Photo Credit: Special Arrangement, The Hindu] A tedious train ride in the mornings, the stationary traffic in the evenings, in the gray monotonous life of Mumbai, some days my eyes find the gorgeous colors on mossy walls and railway bridges, across old complexes and abandoned warehouses. The Street Art of Mumbai - present everywhere, unnoticed yet leaving its mark.   From the cultural abundance of the city we inhabit to the push for human rights and protest against climate change, from promoting harmony to lauding the unsung heroes, street art does more than beautify the concrete forest we...

We Begin…

  What does a fresh page smell like? Hope, maybe.  Anxiety too, with a dash of curiosity. Maybe, it smells like manifestation, like something quietly waiting to become real. What’s the weight of a new beginning? Heavier than it looks.  The page isn't blank; it's crinkled by the past.  Legacies. Lessons. Quiet scars. Loud dreams.  It holds the pressure of making a point, of continuing something that mattered, even if no one claps. Of daring to start again. As we step into the unknowns of tomorrow, we pause. To reflect. To remember. To ask: what does this beginning mean to us? New beginnings are overwhelming. There’s just so much I want to do, so many ways to go about chasing these dreams, and it’s like there’s too much inside me all at once. Too many ideas crashing into each other. Then there is the fear, this nagging fear that it’ll all just turn into a mush, like upma.  What if everything goes wrong? What if I try and fall flat? How do I look peo...

The Festival of Lights under a Different Light

Diwali. The festival of lights. Whether intended or not, we all have developed a connection to this festival, something we look forward to. It’s a time where everything is a little brighter, whether it’s the sweets flooding in, family coming together, that childhood album you forgot about that shows up during Diwali cleaning or at least the long-awaited vacation to finally execute all your plans. It’s celebrated across religions like Hinduism, Jainism, Sikhism, and Newar Buddhism, though associated with different stories and practices. All in all, however, this festival signifies the victory of the light over darkness; Good over evil; Knowledge over  ignorance.       (Credits: htoindia.com)   However, many interconnections, stories and even scientific and historical significances are attached to this festival that we must not overlook. For example, different people interpret Diwali as the victory of good over evil for several reasons. The popular legend talks ab...
