Checked!


Entering the shop
She hadn't planned to see him
The place was full of busy bees, humming.
But that day something different happened
For the first time instead of looking for cold shoulder tops & finding stripped tops,

She was looking at the boy trying the check shirt
No , don't get those thoughts
She was imagining him
How will that shirt dance along his shoulder

Passing that brand lane
She saw shades of checks
Picking one dropping another
She was busy thinking how adoring will he look in that shade but then
She had just seen him in solids with soft smile

And then she just dropped the final shirt hanging and gripped by her fingers down
As she knew she was trying to grip on to a stranger

 Stranger ,
Besides his name
Besides his face 
Besides his smile 
She knew nothing of him

She often saw him along his people
She often saw him with his monitor

Never had she planned to exchange talks to be friends
Hence she just passed another lane of checks

Until she meets him again
Rather sees him again to remember him
How much she knows 
Rather learn another bit of him

Normal problems please !

  I miss the normal problems I miss mom scolding me for being late from work I miss being stuck in traffic when out for office I miss being out with my friend and then planning another outing I miss the gossips at the coffee shops I miss the crowd at McDonald's I miss waiting for my chance in the queue of burger King I miss seeing the teenage girls in sarees for farewell in college waiting the bus and the train I miss seeing the boys trying to fix the loose tie standing by their crush I miss seeing dad care free about us being out of home I miss the normal problems The news of people dying is suffocating The news of all the chance for this virus vanishing is nowhere They talk of precautions  Now each day seems a achivement Now each but of oxygen seems a reward Now washing hands seems the only hygienic essential Now being around your loved once seems so terrifying You can't touch them  You can't hug them You can't even wipe their fear tears You can just stand their prayi...

The shying words

How do you believe the moon isn't whispering your stories to someone aren't the chance of him whispering it to some writer high May be one of the reasons why you related to the story yesterday on Netflix May be that's how your crushes end up in your favorite color today May be that's how you cleared the interview today How do you know the moon isn't working on his script with your lines If you can believe someone that far How do we end up doubting the skin and flesh besides and around us If we don't hold expectations and grudges when it comes to him Why wonder for years over a message that din come through I don't understand how we whisper our secrets to the mountains and the sea but fear of losing them against the people we breathe with How do we trust the living forms breathing without the flesh over the living we can touch and feel How do I trust the paper with my words and strangers with my smiles With every question I pen I end of writing hope, belief, ...

The dinner was set.

She had made his favourite food Dinner table set His favourite show was opted to feel him in his absence And then there was sudden knock on the door The knock was familiar And so was the face But still was unknown person Unable to stand on his feet Tumbling from left , stepping two and then right. She was shook. But helped him to the bed instead of the dinner table She hadn't done this today But was living it from past one month If you want to know One month ago The guy tumbling down like a bottle Was a person waking up to her calls Of course not the first call but of course with her only calls Instead of the good morning thing Her ears had heard "Thanks for the breakfast its yummy" Instead of love you , it always came "Stop watching saas bahu they end up to same." The dinner table slept with the food And she slept nursing his hair The bird chirping had woke them She wanted an answer from him The reason why was his losing...
