'nothing is as it seems'*
radiant smile that beams
from the face of a child
or the sigh laden theme
from the lover's parched rims
the rue of near ones
missing, kidnapped, murdered
when eyes lose, it is all 'ver
'nothing is as it seems'* *quote from @sfactor_
hum humsayay kahaaN?
woh tou apnay hotay haiN
dukh sukh maiN shareek
poochnay say pehlay
m'dud ko aatay haiN
hum humsaya kahaaN
dushman e jaan say bhee
hum tou bad-ter haiN
oarless: blame game
first it was the identity crises
laid to rest in nineteen seventy-one
then came religion misinterpreted
today shorn of any visual markers
bereft of shame & conscience we excel
at playing the erstwhile blame game
This picture has broken my heart. the girls are looking in air, but their minds are playing the scenes of horrific murders...their innocent minds are trying to make sense of what happened, their world turned upside down in few seconds...Can they understand what happened to them?

talaash e goomshuda
hum goom hoga'aye haiN
khud ko dhoond rahay haiN
jo yaheen kaheeN tha
chund sa'atoN pehlay
phir na janay kahaaN
ho gaya ghayab woh
is talaash maiN kya aap
saath daiNgay humara
shattered pieces
though polls apart
like #Phoenix rising back
fit into shape
to carve out
life again.
as lost once in love
makes come alive
an Idea
in words
in colours
to endow meaning
to every moment
to every shade

a dream
is a dream
away from reality
from the shackles
of rules and reasoning
a dream
is an escape
from the incarceration
of existence
a dream
affords momentary relief
to the have-nots
karma
they left in a blizzard
searching for nirvana
the journey exacting
when horizon cleared
they were relieved
to find themselves
back in their village
my decadent self
when it rains here
i wish for pakoras
and in bitter cold
sizzling chicken corn soup
not sparing a thought
for the jobless paesan
with grumbling stomach
