A doctor and A poet

When I was down with cold and fever
She came up
with precautions and pills:
'What keeps us alive and what kills'.

When she was broken, shattered
lull abominably ,
I read her
Tennyson and Shelley :
"If winter comes, can Spring be far behind ?"
and again and again
"If winter comes, can Spring be far behind ?"

She is a doctor
I am a poet.
She cures everything,
everything and everything.
I cure anything
that she can't.

But one day
When a little prince
came to her first and then me
for a simple investigation
of his life and agony
"If Its love or not ? "

She did all tests, yet denied to comment.
I read all literature yet denied to conclude .

God !
What can be the valour of that pain,
Doctors can't treat, Poets can't sweeten.

लाइटर

मैं सिगरेट तो नहीं पीता खैर इत्तेफ़ाक़ से लाइटर रखता हूँ | वो एक लाइटर जो कोई मेरे टेबल पे छोड़ गया था ; सबो - रात साथ साथ चलता है | जाने अनजाने किसी चौराहे माचिस की कश्मकश में भटकते दो एक आवारे मिल जाते हैं, मैं लाइटर बढ़ा देता हूँ | बड़ा सुकून है इसमें किसी को बेपनाह जलते देखना और फिर चुप चाप निकल जाना , नए हमनवा की तलाश में || शायद लाइटर के साथ साथ कोई एक नैतिक जिम्मेदारी छोड़ गया है इसे जलाते रहने का इसे जंग से बचाने का | काफी कुछ पेट्रोलियम कैद है उन्मुक्ति की उम्मीद लिए ; क्या पता ऐसे ही मिट जाए धरा का अँधेरा इन नन्हीं नन्हीं चिंगड़ियों से ||

KERALA TOURISM :DAY 2 and ALLEPPEY BACKWATERS

May be because " It's always our self we find in the sea.” or may be because the strong analogy water hold with life as it goes on irrespective of whatever it dissolves ...or may be the inductive serenity , You never get tired of water . “It is life, I think, to watch the water. A man can learn so many things.” ― Nicholas Sparks , The Notebook Comfort ,freedom, an aura of redemption and the sunny rays reflecting back from waves ,kissing my cheeks and knowingly or unknowingly melting the sun cream ...I have never expected more than this from nature . The day with Alappuzha/Alleppey was precisely a floating day :Six good hours of boating across Alleppey backwaters . And it all began like this The panoramic view of back waters taken from boat Coconut trees have its own charm."And the kerala coconut beer is a must try, its sumptuous in taste and cheaper than kingfisher "said one resident.

KERALA TOURISM : namkeen paani and day 1

Before I start putting the glances of god’s own country as they say ,that train journey extended over the span of 48 hours deserves a firm mention . The worst part of story was : no pantry car ,that simply means food was an issue and was like a setback to foodie people .People were racing between the halt time of train bringing something and something as its good to have something than nothing .And the best part of the story was : Chinua Acheyba . I was rushing through his cult classic magnum opus “ things fall apart ” till end of the journey before I completed it . And when ever I passed by a lingering line ,it was a time to take a break and discuss. "When the moon is shining the cripple becomes hungry for a walk." Anyway the breaks were variably filled by playing cards, sleeping and of course arguments. Prolixity has never been alien to this country . You just need t...
