To each his Own!



We listen, view or experience something new
There’s an emotion that we all go through

While the emotion is extremely personal
Our mind plays tricks to share what’s internal

We may like / dislike and are fully entitled for that feeling
May recommend accordingly to our friends or go about squealing

Our recommendation may stand a chance
Of influencing their take or stance

But to force our thoughts and emotions
In not so moderate proportions

Arm-twisting our expression into acceptance
Is death of independence and more like a sentence

Subtle or full-blown, “To each his own”
Before picking the stone, let’s just mind our tone

Stop This Madness



दिलों में दरार
नफरत कि दीवार
मन में क्लेश; बढ़ता हुआ द्वेश
बटवारे कि उपज – एक से बने दो देश

ईंट का जवाब पत्थर
हालात हुए बद से बत्तर
डर और आतंक से माहौल बेहाल
चैन और सुकून का खौफनाक इंतकाल

मोम के मोर्चे और आपसी चर्चे
घिनौनि जातिय राजनीति के पर्छे
सुरक्षा एवं सेना के बजट में इज़ाफा
बम बन्दूक और मौत के सौदागरों का मुनाफ़ा

हर मुश्किल होता है हल
उपाय है सीधा और सरल
भुला दें अगर बीता हुआ कल
मुस्कुराएंगे हमारी नस्लें और आनेवाला कल
