Ek lambi saans lo...

2020-09-07T04:01:00.001-07:00

Yun karo...Ek lambi saans lo...Us jagah tak pahunch jaao khud hi ke bheetar ...Ke pighal jaao...Dhuaan bhi na rahe....Ittr jaise bikhar jaao...Na bandish na rok...Umadna shuru hoga phir...Aandhi jaisi tezi se jism koshish karega tumhein baahar nikaal phenkne ki...Usse aadat hai akelepan ki...Gehraaiyyon mein jitni aawaazein ho utni goonj utthti hai...Jaanein kya jaag jaaye...Bada purana shehar

Fairy Talk: From Tinkerbell to Peter Pan

I understand losing of self in love sweetheart. I do that very often but have learnt to guage the respect for it. I have prayed like a monk; lived in penury amidst this abundant world and lost a sense of creative force I am every time love throws me off my game. Today it overwhelms as I am in love with someone 15 years younger than me and his priorities are way

Patriarchy

2018-10-19T00:35:00.001-07:00

Sometimes I wish I could cry as easy as you On days when life is punching me in the face and gut I stand there hitting back; ducking and tiring it out There's little or no place that has been kept to scream To let it all out of my chest All that remains afloat is a heavy smile Like the curse of ancestors you can't erase from your being

Kuch Barso ka Gubbaar

2018-07-05T12:43:00.000-07:00

Hua Baar baar Sab Taar Taar Kuch din ki thakaan Kuch Barso ka Gubbaar Saans lene bhar ki fursat nahi kahin Daaman mein kisike bhi hain koi shaqs beqaraar hai kismaton ki baazi daftaron mein aur mehfilon mein dilon ka kaarobar Hua Baar baar Sab taar taar Ummeedon ki chaddar odhe mile aksar Toote hauslon ko sajaate hasraton ke haar boli to har shay ki lagti hai is shaher mein wafaa ke daamon

Aye dil hai KJo 2.0

2016-10-31T02:22:00.001-07:00

I am writing here after forever thanks to my pensive social media posts that help me rave and rant generally. Unless something rare and obscure happens like ADHM. Yes; the supposedly controversial movie that a man walking out of the theatre called bundle- a popular mumbai word for trash and I smiled to myself. The theatre on diwali noon was 70/80% occupied and I hadn't thought of what

Me - a word

2014-04-02T12:04:00.002-07:00

It's what has always been. It's what was always meant to be. No other way my life would make sense. Writing is what completes it. Searching for clever words and phrases, anecdotes or narratives isn't the quest I venture upon. It's a simple expression for me. All the muddled up flavours of life and memories of its sights sounds, smells, touch and tastes unfurls in a seamless flow whenever I

Maybe it's funny

2013-09-28T03:35:00.000-07:00

It's funny how a hello is always accompanied with a goodbye. It's funny how good memories can make you cry,It's funny how forever never seems to last,It's funny how much you would lose if you forgot about your past,It's funny how friends can just leave when you're down,It's funny how when you need someone they never are around, It's funny how people change and think they're so much

dar ba dar, shab ba shab safar raha mera lab ba lab, harf dar harf hashr raha mera na chaha tha afsaano mein zikr na jaani thi koi mustaqbil ki fiqr behta, kuch kehta guzra aksar main mehfilon se na ruka na thama ek dhadkan ki awaaz sunaayi dene ko ruba ru jo hue tum to kya ilm tha ke ishq aise tarer lega na dekh paaoonga beete raste na sahil hi

Life

2013-04-11T12:13:00.002-07:00

Life isn't just about keeping score. It's not about how many people call you And it's not about who you've dated or haven't dated at all. It isn't about who you've kissed, What sport you play, Or which guy or girl likes you. It's not about your shoes or your hair Or the color of your skin, Or where you live or go to school. In fact it's not about grades,

‘Mumbai is my oxygen’ : life as a gay man in the metropolis

2013-01-02T11:06:00.000-08:00

This is an article I wrote in DNA few years back and I quite like it. Thought I should share it on my blog too :) Hope you guys like itI am a gay man, and my wardrobe has only one pink shirt. I don’t wear flowery patterns or talk home décor with my female colleagues, or tell them “You should wear red, it looks so darling on you.” I dress in boring browns and blacks, and don’t feel the

Section 377 - the dark law series : Mumbai Pride parade 2008 and Angst of being comfortably numb (part 2)

2013-01-02T10:55:00.001-08:00

Pink Floyd might have been happy being comfortably numb. I wasn't. It had been 5 years since Don's death, my shifting out to live alone and being out selectively. A lot had had changed apart from the sword hanging on heads of all those with alternative sexual preference. Like an orange eater being judged in a world where eating apples was the norm, I saw IPC section 377's implication on

Section 377 - the law that overshadowed my life (part 1)

2012-02-24T15:50:00.002-08:00

It has taken me about a decade to understand it and to learn to live with it. The perennial shadow of being a criminal in my own country for something I might not have acted upon. I am talking about homosexuality or my sexual identity here. Indian Penal Code Section 377 invokes in me a thousand varied emotions and my views may not be significant as I am an average citizen by all norms and not a

Yes, I know I am writing after forever and I confess I have all the intentions to be more regular here but sigh ! facebook is eating into my creative self expression big time. So i reserve this space for something more exclusive and particular like the post that's about to follow Have you ever had one of those moments of epiphany when you see much more into something others just cannot? I have

Shikwaa - The regret

2011-01-03T06:39:00.000-08:00

के अश्क भर ही आते तो आँखों को क्या गिला था? एक नमी की परत के इलावा सपनों के नाम पे यहाँ बचा ही क्या है? के इश्क चढ़ ही जाता तो रातों को क्या गिला था? एक कमी की शर्त के इलावा अपनों के नाम पे यहाँ बचा ही क्या है? क़दम मेरे भी वक़्त के साथ जुड़े हैं, बेडी है या बंधन? कटती ही नहीं सुइयां चलती, दौड़ती हैं और खिचते गिरते मेरे दिन भी चले जाते हैं गिरफ्त है कोई अनदेखी जो अपने दायरे में मुझे बार हां
