ख़ामोशी



क्योँ नहीं सवाल इन आँखों में, कभी पुछा क्योँ नहीं,
क्योँ दूर हो गए तुम यूँ, न पुछा हमने कभी,
ये साथ है जब तो, क्योँ सन्नाटा चीखता है कान में,
क्योँ दिल भूल जाता है की कोई और भी रहता है इस मकान में.

क्योँ आंखें आँखों को देख कर कुछ कहती नहीं,
क्योँ बातें पहले की तेरह अब बहती नहीं,
क्योँ सुनने से पहले ही तुम थक जाते हो,
क्योँ गले लगने से पहले ही हम रुक जाते है,

ख़ामोशी है बस, एक ख़ामोशी है लम्बी सी
दिल, ऑंखें, बातें, सब चीज़ें है संभली सी
इतने सालों बाद भी कुछ पराया सा अहसास है,
आज भी तुझ में हमें 'एक दोस्त' की तलाश है

I’m turning 30








Okay, I was scared of you and I didn’t want you to come
But I know I can’t avoid you and the worries I wanted to shun
They say if you can’t avoid it why not try and accept.
So here dear 30 I’m all ready, to adapt.

I promise to be wise but not give up on fun,
Stand to face the storm and not try to run.
To be more organized but not at the cost of sanity,
I will be more sober and try to give up on vanity

I’m ready for those lines on my face,
And promise to take them up with grace.
And no more men gazing at me with veneration,
So I happily leave the way for the next generation.

Changed

He said while driving : "Pihu Pihu Pihu...." ( a kidish sound she used to make when she needed pampering n cuddling)
"You don't do it anymore . You've actually changed."
She said : "yes I have." But she wanted to say ' I have become lonely'
How sometimes you fail to see the emptiness in the eyes of people you live with but make every effort to understand the rest of the world.
