The Moony Girl

चले चल रहे हैं तेज़ बहुत तेज़, Facebook पर दौड़ते अंगूठे की रफ़्तार से। अब हर्फों से लफ्ज़ हार चुके दिन लद गए मुखातिब गुफ्तार के। रौनक है बड़ी ज़िन्दगी में हर पल चेहचहाते मोबाइल से, बशर नहीं मिलता कोई लेकिन जो बांट ले ज़िन्दगी के मिसाइल से। 

रात चांदनी, सरित-किनारे, मानव चुगते मोती, दरियाओं के राह बदलते, चट्टानें करते छोटी, बाढ़ खेत में, सड़कें टूटी, इनकी नहीं बपौती, टेढ़ी-सीधी उंगली करके, रेत खनन नित होती मेरे देश की धरती, सोना उगले, उगले हीरे-मोती 🤐

Happiness is.. Sneaking out early from office, To sit in a rickety bus back home, Looking at an early sunset, From a pollution induced fog, Listening to 'Ikk Kudi' on repeat, With wind blowing hair onto you face, Pretending to be the saddest girl/poem/being on earth. 😂 #dramaqueenforever

What's the feeling when every second post in your Insta feed reminds you of him, and your bookmarks section is growing by the day!  When someone is on your mind - now and for the days to come.. It's all Booked!

अति ही हो गई आज तब, और कोप-दामिनी से रात जगी.. जब राजवाटिका की एक कली की अस्मिता पे गहरी घात लगी। "हाय शापित ये नरपुत्र सभी अब भय सारा खो चुके हैं क्या ?" तरकश में ढूंढते क्या बाण का...
