poem

Woh Sardi ki narm dhup
woh chai main dubey biscuit
woh choti- choti khushiyaan
jo saara din aati- jaati rahi

woh jhule jo mere aasmaan to chuthe the
vish-amrit aur gallery ka pagalpan
paranthe aur tamatar ke sauce ka lunch
aur baingan raja ki kahaniyaan

aaj naye shahar ki bheed main
akelepan ke sannate main
aankhen dhundti hai woh ek chehra
jise dekhkar lagta tha
khushi hai. yehi zindagi hai.

manzar chale gayen
raahen badal gayin
mausam kahin ghum hue
bas yaadein reh gayin

yaadon ki shawl lapete
armaanon ki galiyon main ghum rahi hun
apna badalta astitva dekh
hairaan ho rahi hun

khawaabon main bhi na dekha jo
aaj wahan aa gayi hun
zindagi ne ek aur mod liya hai
main baahen failay khadi hun.

The snooze button does what nature could not Fear- Kick starts my day

About a man video taping his lone expeditions into the underground, unexplained world where at a point of time he was shouting and scared for no one knows what reason, he drops the camera and runs. The camera was discovered by some other visitors and they saw the clip..the film that continued to roll in the dark after the guy ran....and seems never to have come back. It got me curious of the place. I had never heard of Edinburgh's history except for its magnificent castles that too have enchanted me for a long time. Today, while trying to locate the video on Google, i chanced upon some of the underground vaults history. Now its got me ferverently interested again in the paranormal, the unexplained. I have added this city to my most wanted travel list..which i intend to cover in this lifetime.I don't kno...
