कर देगी सब कुछ पहले जैसा
सुनते हैं आयी है ऐसी दवा कोई

कुछ इत्र सा फैला है फिज़ाओं में
छूकर आयी है तुझको हवा कोई

ले लेने दो हमको सुकूँ पल दो पल
मत छेड़ फिर से तू शिकवा कोई

क्या है रोज़-ओ-शब नयी बेताबी सी
हुआ अरमाँ मेरा शायद जवां कोई

है भला कहाँ का इन्साफ अमित
करे गलती कोई हो रुसवा कोई

What’s in it?

What’s in it for her? Will she want to come with me if I chase her to  other end of the world?

Beach in the house

Beach in the house …..by Aishwarya

It was a weekday and the members of the household were up and about to be in time for their workday. The lady of the house, had switched on the washing machine and let it do its job.

Out of the blue, the kid of the house visualised doing something new. Perhaps bring the beach home? He set the water draining outlet of the washing machine which pointed outwards, into a room. What ensued later was unnatural flooding and the lady furious about the extra cleaning, rued, ” Sometimes the great bones of my life feel so heavy. None is grateful for the efforts I put.”

While the son in all excitement was fervently collecting some sand for his make believe beach!

Soapy beach indeed!
