Kahani Kavita Ki...


Main Kavita likhne chala tha
Par yeh shabd,
bhaage hi ja rahe the
kabhi daayein
kabhi baayein
Pannon pe kalam,
sarakti ja rahi thi
kabhi daayein
kabhi baayein.

Iss bhagam bhaag mein
dopahar se hui shaam
na main kuchh padh saka
na mera hua koi kaam.

Khayal toh kai the mann mein
lajawab aur anokhe
magar main kaise likhta kuchh bhi
shabd jo bhage ja rahe the
kabhi daayein
kabhi baayein.

Phir maine socha
kavita toh sabhi karte hain
kyun na kuchh aur kahun
machalti uchhalti natkhat chulbul
iss paaji kavita ki kahani likhun?

Sochte sochte ho gayi raat
Mann hi mein reh gayi mann ki baat
Pannon ke beech thak ke so gaya
Kavita ki duniya mein yun kho gaya.

Aankhon ne sapna kuchh aisa dikhaya
Khud ko doston ke samne paya
Kavita toh main fir bhi na keh paya
Kya bataun
Shabd jo bhage ja rahe the
Kabhi daayein
Kabhi baayein!

Dedicated to my son's struggle with Hindi :D

Being Thirteen - Where am I?

I must admit  I have been quite lazy this winter down under and enjoyed every bit of it. But now I have an itch to blog, and I think I have the perfect occasion to as my son, Aabshaar, turns thirteen in a couple of days, well, officially at least. He has been displaying all the symptoms of being thirteen for some time now.  Inevitably, my mind goes back to the time I hit thirteen, boy, was I rebellious! Full of doubts and questions, I exasperated my parents with the ‘whys’ of the world! It’s an amazing phase to be in, being called a teenager brings a myriad of imagery to mind. The word adolescent sounds poetic, juvenile sounds like a cuss word, pubescent sounds biologically bewildering, youthful sounds not-so-insulting but may indicate that their burgeoning ‘reasoning’ might perhaps be laced with capriciousness, never mind their abundant vigour.  Parents grow with their teenagers. The way they converse with their young adults and the things they say to reach...

When Mum Travels...

It’s not easy managing two blogs though not difficult if you post once a year but am trying not to get there, for now. I am guilty of not uploading regularly and I need to repair that starting now. I have this brilliant idea (or so I think) to share my impression of one of my recent travels with you. I promise I won’t talk about how to get there neither the best places to visit nor any of those easily available details you can grab off the internet. Okay, so may be a bit about things-to-consider-before-you-plan just to kick-start this post. I am trying bullet points to make it easier to read. During September 2017 school break, I went with my family to one of the must-visit sites near Adelaide, Australia. We drove (only my husband did) to Cape Jervis around 107 km from Adelaide and boarded the ship straight to Kangaroo Island (KI). A few things to consider:  1.   As of today as I write and upload this post, there is no flight from Adelaide but have hea...

I don't iron my son's clothes ;-)

Image
Day 26 I am glad my son doesn't want his clothes ironed. The ten-year-old-and-rapidly-growing-guy loves wrinkled jeans and t-shirts. He feels uncomfortable in shirts and kurtas. These I have to iron. Sometimes, I also iron his inner wears, rarely. Now, he has started to iron his school uniform but I do indulge him from time to time. But boy, ain't I glad that he prefers wearing wrinkled t-shirts in which he practically lives. What more can a lazy mom want! P. S.- He's gonna be pretty upset when he knows am splaying the details over the 'net  :D
