अब और पहले

अब तो,
खुली आँख हीं कट जाती है रात,
नींद के ना आने पर,
पहले,
सुना देती थी माँ लोरी,
मुझको सुलाने के लिये


गिरता, पड़ता और लड़खड़ाता,
होता ये सब तो, आज भी लेकिन,
अब तो,
संभलना खुद हीं पड़ता है,
ठोकरें खाने के बाद,
पहले,
बढ़ा देते थे हाथ,
बाबूजी मुझको उठाने के लिये


हार, जीत और संघर्ष,
हैं जिन्दगी में, आज भी लेकिन,
अब तो,
सूनी है हर जीत  और,
रह जाता अकेला, हार के बाद,
पहले,
मनाते थे ख़ुशी हर जीत की और,
होते थे कई मीत, गम को बटाने के लिये


प्यार, द्वेष और रिश्ते,
हैं भावनायें सारी, आज भी लेकिन
अब तो,
मर जाते हैं रिश्ते,
बुरा समय आने के बाद,
पहले,
मर जाते थे लोग,
रिश्तों को निभाने के लिये

    अरे यह तो जज्बात में डूबी हुई कविता है. माँ और बाबूजी का हाथ तो अब भी है लेकिन इतनी दूर जो बैठे हो. अब सोचो मैं क्यों कहता हूँ गंगा की माटी पर लौट जाने के लिए. ऐसे ही लिखते रहो.अति सुन्दर.

तुम साथ थे हमारे

माना डगर कठिन था, मुसीबतो का घर था, लेकिन यहीं क्या कम था, तुम साथ थे हमारे तूफां उठा अचानक, दरिया में घिर गए थे, छूटा कहाँ किनारा, कुछ भी ना देख पाये, बिजली चमक के सहसा, दिखला, नये किनारे, तुम साथ थे हमारे माँगा कहाँ था हमने, सुरज की रौशनी को, अम्बर की चाँदनी को, लौटा दो, मुझे तुम मेरे, सारे छितिज़ अधूरे, तुम साथ थे हमारे ।

TRANSFER

Just three more hours before we leave this house and with this house I will be leaving behind a lot of memories, lot of friends who always seemed inseparable to me till a week ago. It was then, when I first came to know about my father's transfer to a new city. Its funny how things about which you never cared before suddenly become very important and how suddenly you start noticing things around you which were irrelevant to you up to now. My name is Tarun Verma, 13 years old , student of Std IX, my father works in a Government Bank and so he keeps getting transferred to different places every two or three years. This time he is very happy because he is not just being transferred but promoted too. My mother is busy checking whether she has packed everything or not. She looks very hysterical when she is working and gets angry if we don't do what she says. Just a moment ago she asked if I knew where father is, She is pretty angry at him right now as we have to board the trai...

Chapter 8: The Plan

Tarun’s ability to lay out several scenarios and potential solutions were useful, but he had blind spots. He usually missed something quite obvious such as, how the anonymity of his letter to Richa wasn’t foolproof. In the new circumstances, his former adversary’s astute skill of being a keen observer helped discover loopholes of his plans. The complementary nature of their skills had a synergistic impact on the simplicity and effectiveness of their plan. The plan was simple. Richa will keep an eye on Priti’s movements outside the school, while Tarun will do the same in the school. They both agreed that this is what made the most sense. As Richa and Priti lived in the same gated community, following Priti to and from the school would not be that hard for Richa. Moreover, they both went to the same evening mathematics tuition class. Apart from this, Priti did not have any routine activity on weekdays outside the school. Tarun’s duty was not very different. The idea was to kee...
