इबारतें (5)

इबादतें कुबूली गयी हैं कुछ,
इबारतें मगर आमादा हैं,
किस्से दर्ज़ करने पे,

मेरे हज की गलियों के नक्श,
बड़े नए नज़र आते हैं,
कच्चे रास्तों पे,
कोरी बजरी बिखेरी है शायद,

पन्ने अपनी गिनतियों में मशगूल हैं,
और इबारतें खुद को कुरेदने में,
इबादतें बेलफ़ज़ हैं,  
मगर गलियां चल रही हैं, बदल रही हैं,

इबादतें नयी उमड़ेंगी मगर,
तब इबारतें भी संजीदा होंगी,
मेरे हज की गलियों के नक्श फिर बदलेंगे,
और पन्नो की सिलवटें फिर बढ़ेंगी!!

असमंजस

@kaveeshaklicks #insta

असमंजस हैं बड़े,
किन धूप छांव में हम आ खड़े
शिकवे हैं या शिकवे न होने के गिले
इतने खामोश क्यूँ हैं सिलसिले...?

कब से हुए यहीं हम ठहरे,
न हम बदले न तुम बदले,
फिर भी हम असमंजस में पड़े ..;

मायूसी और मुस्कुराहटें दोनों नहीं,
बस ख़ामोशी है और कुछ नहीं,
उलझे उलझे दिन हैं सादी सादी रातें,
दोनों वही हैं मगर दोनों चुप खड़े;

असमंजस हैं बड़े...!!!

Beep Beep – It’s me, LOVE!!

 

Tasks are multiplying, new gadgets to be entertained, new news to digest , remain update, eat healthy, stay fit, stay cheerful, trying to leave a sparkle everywhere we pass by – there is so much to do but hours in the day remain the same!! Modern life and lifestyle has brought all this with it. And just when we were about to call it a day- booom…. “love” happens!!

Love was supposed to be telepathy, a connection which existed beyond a digital beep on the smartphone. Well now, it is, what it was not!  Love is a beep these days. The more the beeps, the more the expression, the more the love and thus more the illusion. When cupid looked down at earth with faces dug in the phones, he must have thought of simplifying all the complex phenomena of love. 

Thus love became directly proportional to the length of chat history.

Let’s say, love is equivalent to the number of beeps, having said that, have we tried feeling the same love in absence of those beeps? If you do … congratulations! you might be in real love (or atleast the illusion of the same) but if you don’t, try this out – “Out of Sight, Out of Mind”

When love is quick and convenient as per uber lifestyles, recognizing the real one would be quite a task. Ask that love to disappear for a while or just switch to a feature phone for a couple of days. You will have some analysis in hand at the end of the day.

We are human beings with even shorter memory spans these days. What remains on top of the mind becomes the center of interest. In this situation, giving time to realize that cupid is throwing its arrows on you might be a bit difficult. Being in constant touch can illicit feelings for anybody – I will say again – “anybody”. Please don’t do that to yourself. Take eyes off that 5.5inch HD screen and lay them on him. He might be looking at you!!  But if he is also eyeing the phone, dude, you are wasting hell lot of time here.

PS- Also do the ‘Out of Sight, Out of Mind’ test before you get into a commitment, it might just open your eyes and save you from feeling stupid afterwards.

The Night Roads

Glistening and calm,
Tired from the day and stretching their arms,
The long curves of the empty roads,
And us breaking their little nap

The midnight trees bend to make a little love,
And the breeze sets in just the perfect mood,
Neon dividers radiate even more,
And us diving through the glorious slope,

The night was deep and without any moon,
Only them and us and a little song,
We let them go back to the nap as we pass
And us riding further, stirring their pause!




The next time you go for a midnight ride, carry this little thought with you, 
You might be disturbing silence of many, let them make their love, let them unite with the peace.
