My Coin Has Heads on Both Sides

I was feeling irritated because of a traffic jam that afternoon—such a waste of time. We had barely moved for the last fifteen minutes. In the middle of the jam, I noticed a woman pulling a cart loaded with five heavy bags of white powder. She was dragging it with both hands, carefully finding her way through the traffic.She was Neeta Devi, probably in her late forties. She was covered in white po...

Whispers of Wonder

I wonder, how to find answers for the questions I hold.I wonder, how to not slip into the trap of meaningless things.I wonder, how to know what it is I truly seek.I wonder, how to walk the path my future unfolds.I wonder, how to make peace with what I have.I wonder, how to push myself to rise further.I wonder, how to follow the quiet voice of my heart.I wonder, how to care less, and soften the hur...

My stars in a Jar

When I think of you,it feels like a dream I once kept in a jar.When I fear being far from you,I whisper to the moon to watch over you for me.When worries weigh on your heart,I’ll sit beside you—to hold you, to stand with you.When I see stars sparkling in your eyes,I'll run with you to celebrate the joy of life.When tears fall from your eyes,I’ll be there, quietly holding the weight of your sorrow....

Malti

Audio versionI sat at a corner table in a small cafe, listening to everything Malti told me.We talked for hours, and when we left, she had that sense of relief, which I wanted to see at the end. Sometimes, it is hard for me to feel what she goes through, but as a human and her close friend, I come very close to how difficult it is for her.Malti has been my neighbour since we were around 6 years ol...

तुम्हारे बिना

क्या कमी है तुम्हारे बिना?हाथ पकड़कर साथ चलने वाले की,झूलते हुए सिर को कंधे का सहारा देने वाले की,नम आँखों को सुखाने वाले की,या आँखें बंद कर किसी को याद करने वाले की?क्या कमी है तुम्हारे बिना?उस शायरी से जुड़े हुए करीबी ख़याल की,नग़मों को सुनते हुए तुम्हारी याद की,दूर से देखकर मुस्कुराने वाले की,या आवाज़ सुनकर भागकर आने वाले की?क्या कमी है तुम्हारे बिना?अंधेरे से न डरकर साथ चलने वाले की,खाना न खान...

झोंकों से बातें

गुज़रती हुई हवा से पूछा हमने,मिले थे क्या उनसे कहीं?झोंके ने हौले से मुस्काकर कहा,\जी, बिल्कुल!\क्या याद किया हमें उन्होंने?पूछा हमने झोंके से,दुपट्टा लहराकर वो बोला,\जी, बिल्कुल!\हमारा पैग़ाम ले जाओगे क्या?पूछा हमने झोंके से,पत्‍ते गिराकर वो बोला,\जी, बिल्कुल!\हमारी मुस्कान भी संग ले जाओगे?पूछा हमने झोंके से,ज़ुल्फ़ों को सहलाकर वो बोला,\जी, बिल्कुल!\उनके आने का संदेसा दोगे क्या?पूछा हमने झोंके से...

Just think about me, and I’ll be there

You’re close to my heart, always so near,I treasure the moments that brought us here.You’ll never feel lonely, no matter where—Just think about me, and I’ll be there.When life feels heavy, I’ll help you float,No ocean too deep for our shared boat.Be yourself with me; I’ll always care—Just think about me, and I’ll be there.Even if you wander, I’ll let you roam,Your heart will always have a place ca...

Heart Connections: When kindness has no name

It was evening, and I was making my usual journey back from the office. Working in Delhi's Sarita Vihar while staying in a PG in Greater Noida meant my daily commute was a test of endurance - two gruelling hours one way, juggling between auto, bus, two different metro lines, and finally, a rickshaw. Yes, it sounds insane, maybe even foolish. But you make these compromises when you're new to a vast...

Freedom

Freedom to shatter silence, to challenge the wrong,Freedom to join the chorus, where voices belong.Freedom to carve a path, through unyielding odds,Freedom to rise like the sun, breaking the fog.Freedom to judge with courage, to stand and fight,Freedom to lift others, to champion the right.Freedom to dismiss what dims my light,Freedom to soar and embrace my own light.Freedom to treasure the memori...

क्यूँ छुपाऊँ

क्यूँ छुपाऊँ वो सच जो बयाँ करे मेरी फ़ितरत को, क्यूँ छुपाऊँ वो सच जो जगाए इंसानियत की रूह को। क्यूँ छुपाऊँ वो सच जो कहता है मैं तन्हा हूँ, क्यूँ छुपाऊँ वो सच जो समझाए वक़्त की अहमियत को। क्यूँ छुपाऊँ वो सच जो उलझन को ज्ञान बनाए, क्यूँ छुपाऊँ वो सच जो मन का मैल बहाए।क्यूँ छुपाऊँ वो सच जो अपनों और ग़ैरों का पर्दा उठाए, क्यूँ छुपाऊँ वो सच जो रिश्तों की गहराई बताए। क्यूँ छुपाऊँ वो सच जो नेकी और बदी ...
