Confusion!!

If I could be, I’d be a flower girl 🧚🏼‍♀️

Passing smiles and making hay,
Dropping flowers along the way. 🍃
Spreading sweet fragrance wherever I go,
Lifting spirits of everyone, gay or low.

Slight hop in my step like a little girl,
Petal by petal, let those emotions unfurl.
I’d be humming a merry tune,
One that reminds of sun and the moon. 🌚🌞

Put the soft pink ribbons in my hair, 🎀
Careless mentions of days with no care.
The frock swaying with every hop,
Shoes squeaking ‘clip clop, clip clop’.

Lighting every face in the vicinity,
Sharing blessings as if from holy trinity. ⛪️
Looking at familiar happy faces as I go,
Sun shining behind their heads like halo. 😇

I’d be that flower girl everyday for a week
Pick up again, next and every week.

What are you thankful for?

-

जब अपने मिले बहानों से,
हम अपने पैरों पे खड़े होना सीख गए।
गम कुछ ऐसे दीए ज़माने ने,
हम खुदसे प्यार करना सीख गए।

-

घर घर, चुपन छुपाई, मेले के झूले
सारे खेल सिर्फ बच्चों के लिए?

बड़ों का क्या भरोसा,
वो तो भावनाओ से भी खेल लेते हैं।

He couldn't give in...
She couldn't give up.

Until one day, they did.

Somewhere between...

Calling slight inconvenience,
'life altering emergency'
Calling your best friend incessantly in the middle of the night,
(sometimes even on landlines getting them thrashed)
Talking, resolving for hours

To,

Taking life's milestone decisions
All on our own,
not having spoken to that friend in years,
(sometimes remembering their birthday at a later date in the month)
Hearing their favorite quote, smiling

We all grew up...

What if, we really are, each just little pieces of puzzle, waiting to placed in our perfect spot to fit perfectly next to our close ones and end up with a perfect picture.

किसने सोचा था।
बचपन के खेले खेल,
एक दिन वास्तविकता बन जायेंगे।

बाबा की जगह, दफ्तर हम जायेंगे,
मम्मी की तरह चाय बनाना सीख जायेंगे।

बचपन में सुनी कहानियां, बच्चों हो अब हम सुनाएंगे,
नाना दादा जैसा मोटा चश्मा कभी हम भी बनवाएंगे।

घोड़ा गाड़ी रॉकिंग चेयर में दबदील हो जायेगी,
चांद सिक्के इक्कठा करने की आदत वही, मगर वजह बदल जायेगी।

हर सुबह शाम रुटीन में निकल जायेगी,
खेल खेल में, जिन्दगी खेल जायेगी,
किसने सोचा था।
