कहा तो था हमने बहुत कुछ, अलंकारों का सौम्य आवरण ओढ़कर,माला पिरोह के शब्दों की,शब्दों का असीमित ज्ञान जो था,अलंकृत, सुशोभित, विभूषित, हार, फिर भी रहा निर्जीव व निर्बल,न छोड़ पाया छाप अपनी,रह गया सतह में ही बिखरकर ।अलंकृत शब्दों का क्या तुलना,एहसासों के उमड़ते सैलाब सेएहसास कभी अधीन नहीं होतेशब्दों के मोहजाल के ।

डर समय का नहीं होता, तोमुड़ जाता,और चल पड़ता उस पगडंडी परजो लुप्त थी, न जाने कितने रहस्य खुलते?पर जिज्ञासा को रोक कर,चल पड़ा मैं वही पुरानी राह।आज फिर वही पगडंडी है सामने,अब डर नहीं, कौतुहल है, असमंजस भीऔर एक विचित्र एहसास ।समय को खोने का नहीं,पर यह किकहीं वही बीता समय फिर मिल गया…

This Women’s day, I have decided to start a tradition. And why not. Every celebration, and Women’s day is certainly one, has to have a bit of ritual, an observance, something which highlights the significance of the day.

It is one of those days. The days when I sit doing Nothing. Nothing isn’t actually Nothing, because, while I sit seemingly idle, my mind is whirling trying to fathom the Universe, my place in it and even more importantly my role in it and whether my doing Nothing is more efficacious than doing something?…

I woke up to a new dawn. Or at least, what was supposed to be a new dawn. Given all the brouhaha that preceded it, one thought one would see a completely changed scenario all around. It hasn’t happened before, nor did it this time. At the risk of being called a cynic, I admit…

It was the worst of times. What the Dickens! The weather was gloomy and muggy, the sun had firmly tucked itself into a warm blanket. The persistent drizzle, though calling it even a drizzle would demean the word, was yet undecided if it should go the full Monty or not. An irritating drizzle that will…

Recently my social media has been abuzz with advertisements announcing classes for singing, age no bar, it adds. Whether you know music or not, you can sing, the ads announce. I am not sure which algorithm is the culprit here, because singing is the last thing I could have thought of. It simply is not…

It is one of the modern flash points. One of those ‘Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus’ moments. And pretty much like how no two economists agree, me and my wife never agree on.Nothing big or serious, but certainly one that crops up almost everyday. The offending contraption _ the pressure cooker. Or…

“Age is not just a number, and don’t you dare say that again.” My wife reminded me today, and not for the first time. And neither was it a statement of fact, which has been more often the case. This time there was a hidden threat behind it. The hidden threat being “act your age,…

Take up a hobby. This was the advice given to us as part of the lecture intended to ease us into retired life. Now, for us boomers, having a hobby was just a given. In fact most of us, at some time or the other, have written an essay in school on our favourite hobby.…
