अलविदा 2008

जब खोली यादों की पुस्तक
सूखे हुये गुलाब मिले
फिर उनके दर तक ले पहुँची
हमें निशानी फूलों की।

पचपन खम्भे लाल दीवारें


किसी छोटी सी बात, किसी की हँसी, किसी के देखने का ढंग, या किसी अपरिचित के कमीज़ के रंग से नील फिर जी उठेगा। अलग होने के बाद रहना राख से ढके कोयलों पर चलना होगा। न जाने कौन सा अंगारा दहकता रह जाये और पाँव जला दे।

पचपन खम्भे लाल दीवारें
ऊषा प्रियम्वदा

Two roads diverged in a wood...

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I....
I went on both one by one,
there was nothing to shoot on either,
so I came back,
shot the road,
and put the picture here.

Cup of Friendship


Almost four and half years ago, Meha gifted this cup to three of us and one to herself. The four formed a close group and as all of us were leaving Lucknow, this was our 'cup of friendship' - to remind us all that there are three more with this cup. And that the four together make one the 'Lord of the Cups' :)

It's Meha's birthday today. No idea about others but I still have this cup. What else can I gift but some chocolate and a smile for the good ol' friend :)

रोज़ ही आकाश चढ़ते जा रहे हैं वे

रोकिये जैसे बने इन स्वप्न वालों को
स्वर्ग की ही ओर बढ़ते आ रहे हैं वे

It is the time India!!!

It's the time to stand tall and firm

The time to look eye into eye


And not let them look away
