Market is full of festive activities
It is decorated with strings of lights
Artificial flowers are hanging at doorstep of each shop
Big and attractive sale and offer boards are displayed

Jewellers are too kind giving offer buy one get one free on each purchase of diamond ring

Crowds of women on the jewellers as honeybees around their queen

Eateries are swarmed by women and children
Feels whole city is hungry
and no food is left at home

I bought my new glasses
To see every act of this world clearly
But every year it becomes more hazy
I turned back to home
To keep my pocket and health safe

The window of train
Outside pouring rain
Pitter patter rain drops sound
Make me look around

A woman labourer
hitting  hammer on the rocks to make them small

All pebbles to lay down
between the tracks of rail

To make en route for the life of train
Thousands of people run for their bun or fun

Her child is playing on the track
Unaware of any danger
Running from one track to other

Train is coming with high speed and sound
Child looks afraid
Which makes my fingers crossed
Run towards his mother
Hide in her lap
Which is his lab

Child is playing in danger
Fighting with fear and pain as he fell on track

His childhood is facing the danger in and out

To be too good
Too goodness make you too sweet
Too much sweet in body
make you sick
Unfit to do too much work

Too much sweetness in life
attract many unkind people

Attract you to use for their
own welfare
Use you as ladder to raise and forget
Not only use but kick the ladder to make 'it' fall.

तुम्हारे सूरज की किरणें
प्रेम की बूदों से गुथी
मन की चादर पर
इद्रंधनुष के रंग बिखेरती
मन को उल्लासित कर
आह्लादित कर
जीवन की झलक दिखलाती हैं।

तुम्हारे सूरज की किरणें
मन की धरा पर पड़ी बर्फ को पिघला
नवजीवन उत्सर्जित कर
हृदय की तंरगों को तरंगित कर
नए स्वरों को निर्मित कर
जीवन के गीत सुनाती हैं।

छुट्टी का दिन है
स्कूल आज बंद है।

उस नन्हें पिल्लै को दूध कौन पिलाएगा
दिन भर बच्चे उसे प्यार दिखाते हैं
अपने टिफिन से रोटी और कभी कभी
चाकलेट भी खिलाते हैं।

क्या उसकी माँ बंद गेट देख चली तो ना
जाएगी?
या फिर इधर उधर से अदंर आने की जुगत लगाएगी

आज स्कूल बंद है
वह अकेला भाई को भी ढूंढ रहा होगा
जो कल ही चल बसा
या तो वाहन का शिकार हुआ
या किसी अपने ही जाति का शिकार बना।

आज वह भूख के लिए भोजन और
खेलने के लिए भाई ढूंढ रहा होगा।

I sat in front of my Prabhu

Asking for the answers of questions left unsolved

I saw a smile in his eyes

Three girls of same age group were sitting in front of me

One of them tall and fair sitting in the middle looked just once at me
And started laughing
Tried very hard to stop
Not to laugh
Kept her hand and pressed her mouth
But could not stop

The other two girls from left and right looked at her
Now all were laughing together
Whole room filled with their laughter
Made the moments filled with joy
When I asked why are you laughing?
They felt embarassed
As they don't have any apparent reason

I too enjoyed and hold the moment in me
It was also laughing seizure for me
I too could not stop laughing
