The Problem

I want to talk

I know you can hear

I know you are there

I know your name

I know you can think

I know you only

I know you have a voice

I know you dance

I know you want

I know you have to say

I know you are shy

I know you resist

I know you miss

I know you care

I know you love

But there is a mistake...

I am not the man you are in love with.

Jab Tumhe Dekhata Hoon

Jab tumhe dekhata hoon

jaane kya sochata hoon

thoda karib jaoon,

tumhari nazaroon

se nazarain uljhaoon,

yaare raqib ko

kahin chhod aaoon

shaayad ye sochata hoon

jab tumhe dekhata hoon

jaane kya sochata hoon.

Wo Chala Gaya Hai

वो  चला  गया  है

वो  साइकिल  पर  बिठा कर
बाजार   घुमाने   वाला  चला  गया  है ,

वो  अचानक  आकर , रसगुल्ला  दिखा  कर
चिढ़ाने  वाला  चला  गया  है ,

वो  गुस्से  से  तमाचा  लगा  कर
रुलाने  वाला  चला  गया  है ,

वो  तम्बाकू  में  चुना  मिला  कर
खाने  वाला  चला  गया  है ,

'पता  नहीं  है  मुझे' कहता  था  अक्सर
वो  अपने  में  ही  ग़ुम  रहने  वाला  चला  गया  है ,

वो  चौड़े  माथे  वाला
चुटिया  दिखा कर  हँसाने  वाला  चला  गया  है ,

चाय , एक  चाय , एक  और  चाय ,
हर  बात  पे  चाय  बनबाने  वाला  चला  गया  है ,

मैं  रोता  हूँ , मैं  भी  रोता  हूँ
वो  गले  लगाने  को  पास  आने  वाला  चला  गया  है ,

वो  चला  गया , वो  चला  गया  है
सारे  शिकवे  लेकर , अपना  नाम  दे  कर

वो  चला  गया  है .

Khabar

aaj khabar aayi hai

ki agale shukravaar ko

ye zahir ho jayega

ki wo chala gaya hai,


ab use yaad karane ka silsila

khatam karana hai

ya shaayad yaad hi nahin karana hai,


ab usaka zindagi bhar ka kamaya hua

baant lena hai,

usaka khud ka saaman bhi

jo us laal bakse mein hai,

bantana padega,


kitane hisse karenge

kaise hisse karenge

samajh nahin aata,


filhal to fikra karani hai

ki agale shukravaar ko

sabake thik se khaana khila diya jeye

koi naaraz na jaye

varna badhi badnaami hogi (hamari)

us hardum muskarane vale ki,


aakhiri baar dekha tha

to chehara bada shaant tha

kuchh nahin bola

bas aankhain band kiye

na jaane kya sochata raha,


usake chehare ke daanyi taraf

maathe par nishaan

hamesha ki taaza aur saaf

nazar aata tha,


agale shukravaar tak

us nishaan ko bhi bhool jana hai

ab maan lena hai

khud ko samajha lena hai

ki wo chala gaya hai.

My father Madan Lal Mishra died on June 14, 2014. He was giving his services to Indian Railways. He loved tea, folk music and hindi novels. He lived his life taking care and protecting his family.

Bon Voyage

'bon voyage' is graphic stripe which shows the high conditions caused by pollution. it also comments on carelessness of people, tints of politics and shades of corporate. A fictitious end scares us with a warning as well as solution.

Dear John (Antidote)

Every word is a wound,

the experience go through

kills me a little,

a little more,

and a more little..

little by little

i become used to it

and now my body has developed an antidote

to protect me ;

the dislike,

is my strength,

to dislike i breath,

the dislike is me,

because i want the things

the other way round

and without any hope

i will dislike

till it changes.
