An Ode To 2022

Dear 2022,
You were a fresh start, a new page.
I still remember, the fingers crossed, with all the hopes and faith.
Living everyday, day in and day out...
Keeping the hopes high and doubts at bay.
Some days were happy while few seemed weary...
But, all days were bearable with having your FAMILY around.
The days passed by and patience paid off.
After all the hustle and bustle, the life seemed normal.
Finally, we had learnt the new way of living...
To keep the hopes high and doubts at bay.
No complaints, Only Gratitude and Love.
You were definitely a Happy Year 2022.
Love Dreamer.

Dear December,
We are here yet again...
Recalling all the happy memories, gloomy days, all the hopes and the anxiety.
Cherishing the days best lived and wishing some days we could have lived better...
They say, its the ups and downs which make a person alive...
It always seem, there's a lot to do in so little time.
In the hope, that, the best decisions were made, the best possible was done...
With few days in hand to bid adieu.
Love Dreamer.

सोचती हूं,
सीख लेती हूं अब सबक सारे, ऐ जिंदगी
ये हर रोज़ के तेरे इम्तेहान बेहद मुश्किल हैं...— % &

-

ये सोचें कि
ज़िंदगी गुजारेंगे साथ तुम्हारे,
इतनी इजाज़त भी न दी थी हमने खुद को...
अभी साथ हो तुम,
ये एहसास ही काफी था...
सोचा कहां था हमने,
ये वक्त इस कदर बीत जाएगा...
साथ हमारा कुछ यूं
अधूरा छूट जाएगा...— % &

-

थोड़ा वक्त...

आज सब गुणा भाग करके आए थे हम...
तुम्हारी सब खूबियां खामियां ज़हन में रखकर आए थे हम...
सोचा था, छोड़ देंगे जो हाथ थामा था तुम्हारा
मगर जब वक्त आया अलविदा कहने का,
बस इतना कह पाए, थोड़ा और वक्त चाहिए तुम्हारा...— % &

-

थोड़ा थम जा, ऐ ज़िंदगी...
हमें वक्त लगता है सीखने में...— % &

Dear 2020,
Thank you for reminding me...
Home cooked meal is as tantalizing as dining out.
Home is not a cage but our safe nest.
Family is actually our first friends.
To celebrate we need loved ones around not the pomp and show.
Nothing is eternal but love.
And, our 'Health' is the biggest asset.
Love,
A Dreamer.

Reward me with peace for I had been calm in chaos.
Surprise me with success for I had worked diligently.
Acknowledge me I had been on the right path for I had embraced you.

With Love,
A Wanderer
