समंदर है तत्पर मगर
कैसी है यह आग जो बुझती ही नहीं ।१।
ताकता हूँ शीशा मगर

कोई वादा नहीं मगर

मेरे भी थे वो कभी
कैसी है किस्मत जो टिकती ही नहीं ।५।

I wondered if I had taken the right decision to stay behind. It is not easy leading an obscure, nomadic life. It is even more difficult being privy to a fraudster’s … Continue reading It’s not easy
“I don’t know why you bid so high for this mundane painting.” “You are an art appreciator and critic. Tell me, do you see the fingerprints of a challenged child, and the wonders done by a mother’s pencil over it?” Tale Weaver at MLMM
PROMPT RESPONSE It’s not about flaunting a higher intellect. It’s not about skipping the bits and bytes of a story. It is just about simplifying a complex network of thoughts, sounds and deeds into an easily digestible, small capsule. Then, why does abstraction put me off? Am I too lazy to make an effort to … Continue reading Backgrounds

born of bitter sorrows and
some are only healed through
the passing of many seasons…
