ellipses

How can there be any such thing as The End!There are no full stops in my life...only ellipses...period!

Quote of the day..

A single event can awaken within us a stranger totally unknown to us. To live is to be slowly born.

mitti...

Vacuum

Vacuums are alright in spaces...but not in life.

To My Papa

The lucidity of his words

Strange to my juvenile comprehension

The tone of his voice

Serenading the air around

Cascading like a cool spring

On the meadows of my imagination

I loitered about

To be near him

I looked up at the sky

 My hands outstretched

And saw bubbles floating down

In my open palms

When I had a handful of bubbles

I placed them in his lap

He placed a loving hand on my head

And continued talking to his friend

We were both there

In our own worlds

His world a world of wisdom and words

Of  books and ink and crisp sheets of papers

The sound of his pen

Sometimes loud and sometimes soft

I was in my world of bubbles and  clouds

Fairies and flowers

Monsters and demons

Jadu tha sapna tha kya tha

Maine tujhme kya dekha tha

My first rhyme

Full of colours

Oode oode neele neele peele peele pairahan

His lap,my most comfortable chair

His chants of Iqbal

Music to my ears

The month was December

I was draped in vermillion

Henna on my hands

Anklets and trinkets

The sound of shehnai 

dances and merrymaking

My nose freshly pierced

I could not control my tears

Why couldn’t they be gentle with the piercing!

Oh! Why did they have to be so harsh with the needle?

My head on his shoulders

He held me in silence

This silence is the connection

Though sometimes we break it with words
