Life is a Beach

रंगीन छिपकली

यूँ जो तकता है आसमान को तू

कोई रहता है आसमान में क्या

Bird-feeders in Old Ahmedabad

चिड़ियों को दाने
बच्चों को गुड़-धानी
दे मौला

आवेज़ा

जाने उस ज़ुल्फ़ की मौहूम घनी छांव में
टिमटिमाता है वो आवेज़ा अभी तक के नहीं

बाढ़

उफ़ ये भीगा हुआ अखबार
पेपर वाले को कल से 'चेन्ज' करो

पाँच सौ गाँव बह गये इस साल

World Population Day

Message on a Bottle

Tata had launched this mineral water brand - Himalayan few years back. Recently, I noticed these wrappers on the bottle - some range of message and designs. After reading one, I ended up reading all of them and liked this one the most, which reads:
I look back on life - it's funny how things turn out. You, a connoisseur of fast food, now gaze at water that took years to make. And I, some of the purest water in the world, stand here, trapped in a bottle. Come, enjoy the irony.

Best wishes to the newest civilization
from the oldest civilization :)
