Me time vs Us time

I called before visiting her, asking her to make my favorite fritters. “Mom”, I asked casually, “how did you manage your Me time?” “What’s that?”, she said. “You and your […]
Tiny new life
I am a tiny little seedWaiting for rain to drench meSoak me to the coreI shall sprout into a tiny sapling soon.

.. उम्मीद का दामन !!!
सूखा पड़ने को है बंजर हो रही है ज़मीन पर मन, बारिश की उम्मीद का दामन छोड़ नहीं रहा। पतझड़ में कहां खिलते हैं फूल कहां बहारें दस्तक देती हैं पर मन, सूखे पेड़ों से खुशबू की उम्मीद का दामन छोड़ नहीं रहा। अंधेरों में गुम हो रहे हैं रास्ते चलते चलते राही, थक से […]
