टूटे सपनों के कुछ टुकड़े
हैं आँखों में चुभते अब भी ।१।
किस्मत से तो लड़ भी लेता
रूठा है मुझसे रब भी ।२।
कितने दिन का हिज़्र है यारों
गिनने बैठूं गर शब् भी ।३।
याद मेरी भी आती होगी
खुद से लड़ती हो जब भी ।४।
ले अपने सर इल्ज़ाम अमित
क्या भूला है तू अदब भी ।५।

Couldn’t agree more with this ….
I was taught to be genuine I was taught to be honest I was taught not to wear a mask. As I grew up my eyes got baffled with the constant color changes of the masks around. I stepped ahead to feel and love the faces I saw and the images that were behind the beautiful faces baffled my heart. People thought my genuineness is a mask in itself. They used weapons to reveal the real me. But, it was not the mask I wore so the weapons left me wounded with scars on my face.
Then I realized, we need a mask to survive, even the snail uses a shell to hide. So now even I wear it, even I change colors, even the real me prefers to hide inside..the only reason is even I have to survive.

I forgot to blink. “I know, kid! Many people believed that no other firm will offer me employment after that courtroom battle. But this is a … Continue reading Epic

एक नज़र का असर है बाकी
थोड़ी शोखी कुछ बेबाकी
अक्स तेरा क्यों ठहर गया है
वक़्त गुज़र गया हालाँकि
मेरी पलकों में अब भी है
पहली मुलाकात की झांकी
तकता हूँ मैं खाली प्याला
संगदिल निकला मेरा साकी
क्यों है जुदा दुनिया से अमित
क्यों न सीखी कुछ चालाकी

Reflections…..
Use the following as a stimulus for a piece of writing:
I am a special mirror. People move through it, leaving reflections of their psyche.
The inventor who created me committed an error. The images that pass through me remain locked there, even after the person has moved away. These images speak to each other, interact and create a lot of turmoil inside me. Their inter-related states are known only to me.
Look there …
Mandakini, Rukmini and Renuka are walking together in the garden. They do not belong to the same era or same geography. But they have come together. They know that they are not rivals or opponents. They are just reflections of each other, as they moved over to higher stages of evolution. The core is the same, an independent entity demanding recognition. Their existence is not relative to any other human being or object. They are…

Our mental maps come from experience, and beliefs ingrained from childhood. I never had an opportunity to question their validity. There was no need to do that. Honesty is a virtue. Nobody thinks about contesting the concept. Why should I? I saw a girl in dishevelled state running across the street. She turned towards the … Continue reading Update the Map
