Yours After Office

जो भी सोचें वो सच हो जाएं, सर में जरा सा दर्द हो और चाय मिल जाए । सुबह देर से जाग सकें, रातें बहुत लंबी हो। ज़िन्दगी एक लंबी ठंडी नीली शाम हो, हफ्तों की फुर्सत सर के पीछे रखी हो। मर्ज़ी की ज़िन्दगी मिलना मुश्किल है मगर मनमर्जी के बारे में सोचना आसान। एक कविता मनमर्जी के नाम।

Dedicated to Sushant Singh Rajput. And my own resolution of reacting to pain.

How to deal with times of pain? Since the inception of humanity, man and women far greater than me have thought about finding an answer. Here is an attempt to observe and listen to the pain.

You are what you choose, a poem on tussle between power of inner voice vs power of template life. A comment challenging assembly line life where everything is judged on ranks, ratings and salaries. Listen to this observation on how people become what they choose.

Ever been confused before making a decision? When you don't know the end, all choices appear to be same. Two poems on what stays with you when you make the decison. One was written in Nov, 2016 and the other one in Mar, 2020.

A prayer of strength. To me praying is more important than even God as it brings out your deepest convictions.
