The greys of the late evening Shone upon the misty grass Clouds hovering around Ready to break any time. He smiled as he was enveloped In the warmth of the clouds Beholding the serene mountains, The heart savouring the stillness. Reflections galore, in the whispering night, If only I had a wishing  Read More...

Kal ki raat fir ek baar zindagi ki maut se mulaqat huyi, Sehme-sehme kadmo se haule-haule aage badhti maut  apne ghoonghat k pat khol rahi thi. Apne rukhsar se mayoosiyat ki laton ko hata, wo bala ki khoobsoorati apne andar samet rahi thi. Mujh se bhi haseen koyi aur mila hai kabhi? Maut, kal t  Read More...

I have worn new saris for you on your days, Locked up the fish and the meat away. Chanted every word the  Read More...
