That one chord

That one chord That one chord of Sitar swayed my attention from the world  that buried me in everything  other than peace, It entered my soul,  in a way that, entire existence would cease My eyes wide open  and ears longing  as if,  never heard a sound before never experienced magic before (literally) as if, clock stopped ticking witness the unreal transforming  as if, thoughts lost its way in trance & living in that moment,  not missing any chance It was like 6th sense coming to life perceiving known, unknown,  And then, all of a sudden the sound was gone and my ears starts to mourn Soul again becomes the target noise would never settle but somewhere, echo of that sound remained, giving me hope things will work little by little …

Khalipo

Being hollow, from all the sides & nothing can fill you up people or talks,  work or evening walks & you end up  just being… However,  just being, surrounded by this vacuum gets you immense serenity Free from known, unknown, past, present, and times until eternity It is a blessing to feel numb lite like a feather who doesn't care about the fall  in any event or weather the joy is for real & this joy would matter after all Believe, believe that void transforms nothing to something  merging in creation that fills you, that completes you doesn't care, doesn't bother,  & that allows you to be you… shingala_the_storyteller

राधा ने कान्हा

नयनों की मुलाकात  उमड़ पडे ज़ज्बात  जैसे जन्मों से जानते हो  या फिर कल से हुई थी शुरुआत इस आँख मिचौनी से  दोनों कर रहे बात। .. क्या ? રાધાને કાન કરે વાત આંખના ઈશારાથી વાત  રાધાને કાન કરે વાત આંખના ઈશારાથી વાત   Radha questions - what is love Kanha ? People ask how are we related ? Our stories being most debated You are the notorious, disturbing  Then why around you, I always feel elated ? फिर राधा पूछे -  રાધા પુછે છે વળી પ્રીત સમજાવ કાના  રાધા પુછે છે વળી પ્રીત સમજાવ કાના  કાનો કહે કે તારો સાથ આંખના ઈશારાથી વાત  રાધાને કાન કરે વાત આંખના ઈશારાથી વાત    प्रीत एक अलौकिक एहसास है कभी न ख़त्म होनेवाला एकमात्र प्रवास है  बस हाथ पकड़ कर चलते रहो  एक दूसरे के साथ की यहाँ आस है  Krushna answers : We may be poles apart But our heart beats together We have different roles to start But the 'end' will always witness us together... કાળા ઘેલા કાન સાથે નમણી રૂપાળી રાધા  કાળા ઘેલા કાન સાથે નમણી રૂપાળી રાધા ...

Calling "Bala"

  Calling ‘Bala’ 'Phone', such an incredible piece of manifestation Couldn't event resist Dadi  Buying one for herself and one for her imagination At 85, lonely, no spouse, children, family or dear ones It was the ceiling fan, chair, walls and that mirror the only near ones Wait, it also includes her so called imagination People call him with different names :  Anant, Girdhari, Mukund, Murari, Shyam, Govind, Gopala But Dadi saved his name simply as :”Bala” And another phone for my Bala, my only support when I was abandoned The only one in this world on whom I am dependent Calling Bala, despite sitting in front Pick up the phone, dadi would say  - sounding very adamant Twice, thrice, now it was 4 times a day Dadi would call, but as usual, no answer to her dismay The person you are trying to reach is not available, please try again later Bala’s voice - the only wish she wanted the phone to cater Hence, Dadi continued, even after the call was not attended To share her s...

Perspective

It is not another philosophy class But, how do you see this glass Half empty or half full Half way through, Other half to accomplish Well , I am thirsty, Hence, with whatever available I would rather relish. Umang contrary to his name Worried about everything Questioning the very essence of life Why, what, when, how From School to college, From College to job,  From one job to another  Then families Adding oodles of responsibilities Some fated liabilities The list seemed perpetual He was confused what is illusion,  What is actual Wandering in the woods, Halting at a lake Serene, pure, quiet. As if pleading his thoughts not to awake There he saw a small bamboo house Eager to find who stays,  Somewhere deep inside, he silently prays I hope, today life unfolds its secret  In its own profound ways At a corner, He saw an old man sitting As if silently waiting  “Come in my child,  Why does your mind chatter at a speed of an asteroid  & you look utte...

सूत विश्वास का

एक समय की बात है यारो, सुनो बड़े ही ध्यान से  मुन्नी के हालात कठिन  लेकिन मस्ती में रहती शान से  अपने भोले (भाई ) को देख  आंखे नर्म हो जाती भला ३ साल के फ़रिश्ते को  epilapsy की बीमारी क्यों सताती ? भोले को seizure के दौरे आते   तब यह बीमारी,उसे कम,  मुन्नी को ज़्यादा डराती  एक दिन माता पिता को सुना  कुछ ३० लाख का खर्चा है  घर, ज़मीन सब कुछ दांव पर  कुछ शेष नहीं बचा है  अब तो कोई करिश्मा ही काम आएगा  पता नहीं Thakorji ने खेल कैसा रचा है  बड़ी अस्पता के neurosurgen  नीरज अग्रवाल की उम्मीद है अगर वो इलाज़ न करे  फ़िर हमारे लिए क्या दिवाली, क्या ईद है  मुन्नी अपने गुल्लक को तोड़  सभी पैसे निकालती  हर रोज़ बाज़ार के, दो चक्कर जरूर लगाती  काश ऐसी कोई दवाई मिले  जो अपने भय्यू को ठीक करें  एक दिन, दवाई के दुकान पर पहुंची  "पूरे ३० रुपये है मेरे पास  और थोड़ा Thakorji पर विश्वास  "यहाँ epilepsy का इलाज मिलता है" आवाज़ आई - "चल हट यहाँ से, कोई भी मुँह उठाए चला आता है" पीछे खड़ा...

Reality vs Illusion

Moving train, empty train  Galloping through peak hours Moments of peace to cherish But my mind has another wish Glued to my phone screen Why bother for unknown, unseen Some reels better than reality Even if, grass on my side is green This worry shouldn't explode Hence, scrolling the web, episode after episode "Look ouside", whispered the heart "Its this worry, you need to decode" But dare I divert my attention To breathe reality And experience revelation  This world of fantasy is appealing  Its this illusion that doesn't hurt my feeling More the clutter, better for my mind Coz peace doesn't want to be kind It's scary when everything is okay Seems, something has been left behind And there, station arrives Shutting the phone Hoping the reality thrives Giving my fairy world a conclusion  The moment I embrace the reality, Just to ealize, it was another illusion
