My Book On Amazon. Go For It Guys.

Silence always has a noise. It require to acquire the skill to listen this noise in silence. Every silence has its own noise. My silence speaks about human, humanity, love, compassion, nature. What does your silence says to you? Listen it carefully, you will be amazed........

All that I could not say

The dense fog

And your first sight

Almost a yard in my right

I stumbled against you

Just kneeling down

You gave me your hand

And my heart gone band.

Inside the class

I was just in for you

That was the day

When I found

Others say

I lost my way.

In every movie

I have assumed you

My partner

I made cards for you

Never dared to give you

You were always with me

When I was roaming around the school ground.

I have written those three magical words for you.

And one day I dare put my letter inside your bag.

And next day

I was called in principal office.

I couldn't figure out

What I have done

I saw your father with that paper

She asked did you write it

I accepted and

Got canes on my both hands.

Said sorry

Came back to class and your smiling face was enough.

I keep noticing your smile,

Walk, the way you talk and your style

I remained in conversation with you

Volumes can be written on those silent conversation between me and you

That was even without you.

Very soon we passed out from school

My friends teased me and said you were biggest fool.

Why you wrote your name on letter?

I said then for what else I wrote the letter.

Still I have goosebumps

While writing all these.

I don't know what was that...

It was nice .....

Listen the music of nature around you. Water the magical liquid we have. Almost everyone has undeclared romance with running water. It bring back the child hidden somewhere in adults. 

My piece of sky

Dugout

My piece of sky

Just above the hill, Infront of my window There is a small patch of sky, Not so very low, Not so very high, I have decided that is my. It al

It's my affair with a piece of sky।

To meet and part is a part of life.

To part and meet is hope of life.

The Sunset

I was waiting for her She told she will come for whatever Her curly hair was trying to cover her left eye She was continuously keeping that naughty hair behind her ear I was dreaming for her While I was waiting for her I felt the cold breeze On my shoulder It has the fragrance of her I can feel her My retina was not able to make her image I was feeling like sage Sun was moving very fast as going to see his fiancé It was like a race I had a hope that Today we will come face to face And when my this hope was about to vanish She appeared with a sound of the swish Scene was set The day was going to meet the night It was a beautiful sight Our meeting was light But it kept our emotions tight We met In the midst of sunset.

An open letter to children of this world.

Dear children!

                  I hope all of you are doing well at your respective places. I know this is a tough time for all of you, but I also know that in this complete chaotic situation across the globe you are the single source of positive energy for all of us. I hope most of you are getting your square meal every day. I hope most of you are having your sleep during nighttime without any disturbances by any explosion, cries etc. I hope most of you have your parents with you in this time. I know some of my hopes are false even then I have these hopes. Since last 14-15 months the whole scenario of this world has been changed and we are fighting for the life. And children have been in more vulnerable situation, in fact children had always been in vulnerable condition whether it is fight between two countries, terrorist attack, earthquakes, drought, flood, and you can count it endlessly. Today I want to talk to children especially in this wake of situation, because this situation has compelled them to lock themselves inside their houses.

My beloved children we have never assumed that you will witness these atrocities of life. But this is true, and I am very sorry as we adults have not taken appropriate action to check these. We have made deadliest weapons to abolish the whole world within few minutes just by the click of button. But I am sorry to say that we have not made any such button that will bring smile on your faces. We have made this world as a big battle ground where one or other part is engaged in deadly fight, but it is our failure that we could not make this world as global playground where a child from east can play with child of west without any hesitation. Children I know very well that you have seen various undesirable things in your life and especially within last one year. Many of you have lost your dear ones and compelled to live alone, many of you have lost passed various days without proper food and clothes, many of you have suffered a lot. Apart from all these atrocities I have firm belief on you that you are stronger than any of us. I have fir belief that you are the only hope and intuition that will help us to make this planet a better place for living.

My beloved children since last one year all of you are out of your schools. You have not seen your classmates, your teachers, your library, playground, assembly area, auditorium etc. Many of you have virtually interacted with your teachers. I know you are missing your schools very much and believe me we teachers are missing you too. We are missing your nonstop noise, your naughty behavior, your cute fights, your innocent excuses, your lovely faces, your igniting thoughts. You know children without you these school buildings are like scary places. Every time when we pass through the corridors it seems that you are calling us from one corner. I know many of you are in contact with your schoolteachers virtually. And this is very new experience for you as well as for us too. We teachers have learnt a lot to make you learn through this virtual means of interaction and you too have enjoyed it. I have realized that this is a method to get in touch with you in this unprecedented situation, but it may not be an alternative of your physical presence in front of us. I am very much concerned for those friends who have not access to this virtual connectivity. And it is true that there is big chunk of your friends who do not have privilege to use it. And you know I am very much sad for those who have lost their opportunity of schooling due to this pandemic situation and it was not their choice, but they have to earn their bread because there was no one to support them. Over the period, it has been observed that.

1.5 billion children have been out of school-leading an educational crisis.

370 million children have been missed out on free school meals.

My beloved children, this pandemic has given us an opportunity to learn new norms of behavior. Among this hand wash, cover your face and avoid physical contact as much as possible are very crucial. Hygiene and sanitization have become our most valuable and important weapons to fight with this situation. And I know that most of you have learnt these habits. Now the time has come to use your existing knowledge and make other people aware about these. It is very well said that “Charity begins from home.”  So first you must follow all the norms of hygiene and sanitization then say your family members to follow this and, in this way, you can spread the awareness across the globe. I have firm believe that when you tiny tots will request to anyone then they will follow it for sure.  

My dear children, this is tough time for all of us. The tough time demands tough action from us. This time will pass, and we will return to our normal life. The most important thing that will remain with us after this pandemic will our behavior with others during this. First, we should try to help anyone who is in need. This help may be in any form. Sometimes your innocent smile, encouraging words help others to fight and overcome their burden.

Dear children, please take very much care of yourself, keep smiling, do not invite problems to you, follow hygiene and sanitizations norms, wear your mask, discover your new talents, keep reading, writing, painting, singing, dancing, and whatever you love to do without harming our nature. You are the only source of positive energy for the people around you.

It is time to say goodbye!

Stay home, stay safe.

See you soon in your schools.

Your schoolteacher.

A picture is worth than thousand words. Sometime you don’t have words to explain the picture however you can always have a picture to summarize the whole book.

पकड़ से दूर, पहुँच के पास: माँ

ऐसा लगता है

जैसे अभी कल ही की बात हो

जब मैं तुझसे आगे आगे भागता हुआ

अपने छोटे छोटे क़दमों से चलते हुए

तेरी पकड़ से दूर निकलना चाहता था

पर तेरी पहुँच के हमेशा पास

है न माँ,

मेरी माँ,

और मेरे पीछे पीछे हाथों को फैलाए हुए दौड़ती तेरी ममता

पकड़ ही लेती थी मुझे|

ऐसा लगता है,

जैसे अभी कल ही की बात है,

जब बैग में मेरा टिफिन रखती औत कहती

ख़त्म कर के आना

और स्कूल से आने के बाद सबसे पहले टिफिन देखती

आज कोई नहीं कहता

खाने को, माँ

खुद ही

पड़ता है खाना बनाना और

अकेले बैठ के खाना,

फिर भी लगता है कि

रसोई से तू बोल रही है,

बेटा एक रोटी और लाऊँ

ऐसी है माँ,

मेरी माँ,

ऐसा लगता है,

जैसे अभी कल ही की बात है,

जब मुझे बुखार होने पर

तू रात भर नहीं सोई,

भगवान् की तस्वीर के आगे छुप-छुप कर रोई,

मेरे माथे पर गीली पट्टी रखते बदलते

मैंने देखे हैं तेरे आंसू निकलते,

अभी कल मैं बीमार था

शायद मुझे बुखार था

बीह्ग गया था ऑफिस से आने में

कपडे देर से बदले जाने अनजाने में,

बदन तप कर दर्द से टूट रहा था

ऐसा लगा कि तेरा साथ छूट रहा था,

तभी एकदम से मेरे अंदर हिम्मत आयी,

खुद ही उठ कर पानी लिया और दवा खाई,

जब सोया तो सिराहने पर तुझे पाया

तूने मेरे बालों को सहलाया,

और बोली, सब ठीक हो जायेगा

अभी थोड़ी देर में बुखार उतर जायेगा

सुबह फिर ऑफिस जाना था

पास न होते हुए भी तू थी यही मैंने जाना था,

है न माँ,

मेरी माँ!

ऐसा लगता है,

जैसे अभी कल ही की बात है,

जब मैं अच्छे नम्बरों से हुआ था पास,

तब तोडा था तूने रिजल्ट वाले दिन का उपवास,

रिजल्ट मेरा आया था

पर उस दिन तू हुई थी पास

अपने हाथों से बना कर मिठाई,

पास पड़ोस में तूने बटवाई

जब मैंने तेरे पैर छुए

तब तेरी आँख छलक आई,

पिछले महीने ही हुआ मेरा प्रमोशन

ऑफिस वालों के सेलिब्रेशन

केक काटा गया

सब में बाटा गया

मैं तलाश रहा था उन आँखों को जो ख़ुशी के मौके पर भी छलकती हैं

उस भीड़ भरे हॉल में मैं था अकेला,

जब मैं अपना रुमाल उठाने के लिए झुका

उसी समय किसी ने मेरे सर को छुआ

दूर रहकर भी रहती है मेरे पास

तू ही है न माँ,

मेरी माँ!

ऐसा लगता है,

जैसे अभी कल ही की बात है,

जब मेर खोई हुई किताब ढूढ़ने में

तूने सारा घर छान मारा  

आस पास के बच्चों से से भी की जांच पड़ताल

ढूंढ कर ही रही तू मेरी किताब हर हाल

आज दुनिया की इस भीड़ में खो गया है तेरा लाल  

आज शायद जिंदगी का सफ़र तय करते करते

बहुत दूर निकल आया हूँ

पर आज भी लगता है कि

तेरी ममता भरी आँखें और चमत्कारिक स्पर्श

मौलिक – अमौलिक रूप से मुझे छू रहा है

हैं न माँ

मेरी माँ

और मैं चाह कर भी तुझसे दूर नहीं जा सकता

क्योंकि मैं तो तेरा ही अंश हूँ

और मैं खुद को खुद से अलग तो नहीं कर सकता

क्योंकि मैं तेरी पकड़ से ही तो दूर हूँ

पर तेरी पहुँच के बहुत पास

है न माँ

मेरी माँ

Both of us are in the alert mode

Having bullets, gun, pistol, dry ration, first aid kit, water bottle

Responsibility of security for my native citizen

And the smiling pic of my three year old daughter

The promise I made to her that I will come soon, the heaviest load.

And I am very much sure

My so called  opponent too have all of these with some change

And both of us were just steps far from each other’s range

Why we are in this mode?

With lots of load

The man on other side of fence too

Wants to go back to his home

Wants to look after his ailing father

Wants to play with his son/daughter

Then why we are following this code

Why we are in this mode?

With lots of load.

Let’s abolish these boundaries and fences

Let’s give tight hug to people across the fence

Let’s see the world with different lens

The lens that see the whole world as a big family

The world where do not exist boundaries

Across the world just one road connecting to other road

In this world we will gaze each other in love mode

This will be more pleasurable load

We will happy to carry and share that

That is love, care and happiness.

I bet this is the most wanted and safe mode for humanity.
