Aaj pata chala ghar me aata kahan rakha hai, Kitchen ki almari ke dusre maale par jhaankar dekka, Toh pata chala, ki do mahine pehele kharida hua besan, Abhi bhi vaise ka vaisa hai. Jab bartan dhone gayi toh kamzor vim ka tukda mila, Woh bai bhi kitni mahan thi, jo us bechare sabun ko ghis ghis kar   Read More...

THE JOURNEY The big, brown bus stood  In all its glory, To add to its lifetime Yet another story. It had dusty seats,  All worn and torn. With a huge steering wheel And a siren-like horn. I got onto the bus, With others who had places to be. As usual, there was a huge commotion, With peo  Read More...
