Jab chali thee mai…!

I have written  this poem when I came out from ’Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya’ and took admission in to ‘Jawaharlal Nehru University.’

जब चली थी मैं
ये राहें अजनबी थी
मैं अकेली अपनी मंज़िल की ओर,
वक़्त की धारा के साथ
बहती चली,
यादों के गहरे सागर में,
मेरी किश्ती साहिल,
ढूँढ रही थी…!

Aashaa:

महक़ती फूलों की तमन्ना रखने वालों,
काटों की महफ़िल से ना घबराओ,
उगते हुए सूरज की रोशनी को देखो,
हर रोज़ एक नई आशाएं लेकर आती है!

There are few questions without any answers!

I used to write Hindi poems when I was pursuing my Graduation in JNU and my best friend Ruchi used to read it. I don’t know exactly when I stopped writing, but as I remember I stopped it after my Post Graduation. Suddenly, few months back Ruchi asked me Are You Writing Poems? It was surprising for me, she wanted to know Why. My silence was shocking for her and she desperately asked me ‘Why I discontinued writing!?’ I didn’t have an answer of her lovely question! Sometimes, there are few questions without any answers, and then I simply just told her I will start writing again. But the best thing is her Question left a lasting impression on my heart.

Her inquisitiveness and question could not stop me from continuing writing……!
