Aadat

Usne phir se poocha aaj.. 

kya kabhi maine usko yaad kiya?

Maine kaha.. 

yaad nahi bas ek aadat ho tum

Waqt

Thoda waqt maanga usne aaj..

Par waqt hi toh nahi hai mere paas

A Beautiful Story

Each person I meet is a beautiful story

Some of them making it to my list of favourites

They have been read and re read a thousand times

Now that their verses are etched in my memory

I realise each milestone of theirs has traces of dreams and dedication

I highlight them and recommend too, as a token of my appreciation

Each person I meet is a beautiful story

They let me live a thousand lives in this one life of mine

through their heart, mind and thoughts today and every day

Dost!!

Itna Khush mat raha kar..

Kabhi apna dukh baata kar..

If you ever want to be..

 If you ever want to be something for someone

Be that relief, the first drop of monsoon brings

Be that love, a cool breeze showers

Be that warmth, the eyes of a mother provides

Be that promise, the hug of a friend assures

Be that assurance, that person always search for 

and 

Be that support, that person always needs but may never ask for

Break

 Keeping all worries at bay, let's get drenched in this rain.. for the sake of our heart, which also deserves a break ❤️

Kite

We are like that kite hanging down the branch..

earnestly trying to fly high but held back by people, fear and expectations

Why not Love?!

In this one life of yours, do not force anything.. just because you should at a particular age or time of your life. There shall not be any 'shoulds' in your life, told by others

Societal expectations are like ocean waves.. One will follow the other.. But don't let them drown you.

Choose your path only if your mind says go for it.. be it career, love or anything in your life.

There lies your happiness.. If you firmly adhere to it, you will learn that you don't need anybody to make you happy.. you simply be happy 💞

Grabbing Childhood

It is absolutely cute to witness our parents/any elderly close to us grabbing back their childhood innocence and amusement, with each passing year of their life.

Conversations with them are so soothing, pure and undoubtedly a happy pill.

Blessed to have such moments ❤️

Empty Road

At the traffic light we stood, 

Staring at the empty road

There were no cars, still we stood, 

because the light was red

All streets converged there

Still we stood..

staring at the empty road, 

because the light was red

Alas! it's yellow, 

but we were told, not to opt the empty road

We started at eachother, coz we knew

Now the light will always be red
