waterfalls of time un-drying, unstoppable never turning back absorbing the soluble you and I enjoy generosity then flow along to experience cruelty banging ourselves against big stones finding strange objects to be owned or thrown we alter states, as the Sun moves an adventure in every breath - Do the Devil and God live out … Continue reading Rollercoaster ride

घर वापसी
मन कभी वहां था ही नहीं जहाँ इसे होना चाहिए था
शरीर के अंदर रह कर उसे सही राह दिखाना और हुए मंज़िल की ओर ले जाना
पर नहीं उसे तो हर सवाल का जवाब चाहिए था
प्रकृति के सारे रहस्य उसे जानना था
उसी खोज में न जाने कहाँ कहाँ भटका कितनी जगहों की खाक़ छानी
पर कुछ मिला क्या
वही कुत्ते की तरह अपनी ही दुम के पीछे भागने के सिवाय
कुछ भी हासिल हुआ क्या
सब कुछ यहीं था
आँखों के सामने
अपने सम्पूर्ण सौंदर्य में
छिपता, दिखाता , ढंकता, उभरता
ललकारता
पा सको तो पालो मुझको
मैं तो यही हूँ तुम्हारे भीतर
बस पारखी नज़र होनी चाहिए
मुझसे ही चूक हो गयी
” जिन खोजा तिन पाइयाँ , गहरे पानी पैठ,

I could not digest the fact that it was all gone. My home was all gone.
The storm of the century, they called it. It came raging into our lives, and left only destruction behind. Thank God, I could get my family out in time. In these hard times, we will have to look toward each other for illumination.
It’s time to rebuild, and things will be back to normal in no time…

She killed humans, but only to defend her cubs. A few days later, the cubs were found in a forest and ‘rescued’ by human beings. There is speculation that they could … Continue reading Vanishing species
Environmental concerns - by Suzanne.

हूँ शुक्रगुज़ार तेरा ऐ दोस्त
कुछ न रखा तूने पास अपने
सारे इलज़ाम अब मेरे हैं ।१।
तुम्हें फुरसत ही कहाँ थी
जो बता पाता तुम्हें कुछ
अनकहे ख्वाब सब मेरे हैं ।२।
बेहयाई से वो लेता है
अपने संग नाम तेरा
सी लिए हैं जो लब मेरे हैं ।३।
क्यों रश्क़ करूँ तुमसे कि
ज़ीनत-ए-महफ़िल हो तुम
तन्हा रोज़-ओ-शब् मेरे हैं ।४।
क्या माज़रा है अमित
नहीं होती कोई दुआ क़ुबूल
लगता है पत्थर के रब मेरे हैं ।५।

I switch on the light in each room. I saw luminous layers of stories being overshadowed by telling tones of voice, negative nuances in expressions and multiple masks. The dark lanes of memory are alive once again, but happiness has given way to pain. I don’t need this. Illumination of the path ahead is possible, … Continue reading Dark lanes
