11th October 2011 – I remember the day clearly when I spoke to my dad for a few hours while on my way to office. It was a usual day, but never thought the day would leave its mark in history as the darkest day of my life. I have been in London since 5 years now – and living away from my parents and loved ones have always been sad for me.<\/p>\n
I wrote this poem just a few days after he died. I miss his terribly.<\/p>\n
kuch baatien adhuri si hai\u2026\u00a0kuch baatien an kahi si hai\u2026
\nchod ke chale gaye jo hamien\u2026\u00a0aaj aankhon mein nami si hai\u2026
\nsochte the ke inti jaldi kya hai.. baat to kal bhi ho sakti hai\u2026.
\nab na koi kal\u2026 na koi baat\u2026 aaj aankhon mein nami si hai\u2026
\nzindagi bhar sirf khushiyo ki raahon par chalaya tha\u2026
\nna koi pareshaani\u2026. na koi gum ka saaya tha\u2026.
\njo gum ka zeher ho to khud pee jaate the\u2026.
\naur humein muskuraate.. hue roshni dikhaate the\u2026.
\njab hoti thi galti to kehte the\u2026 udaas mat hona\u2026
\naur aansu agar aate to kehte\u2026 bus ab mat rona\u2026
\nsar par haath rakh kar raat bhar sulaya hai\u2026
\ncheezen kho jaaye\u2026. phir bhi na rulaya hai\u2026
\nwoh kehte the ke ye cheezen aur paise to aate aur jaate hai\u2026
\npareshaani aur udaasi unko waapis nahi laate hai\u2026
\ngalti kitni badi ho\u2026. maaf hamesha kiya hai\u2026.
\nhumein gale laga kar galti ka sabak diya hai\u2026.
\nbaarish ka mausam ho phir bhi school chodne aate the\u2026
\nhumein chaata de kar khud hi bheeg jaate the\u2026.
\nek cheenk bhi aa gayi to humko thaam lete the\u2026
\naur khud ki bimaariyo ko humse chupa dete the\u2026
\najnabi sheher mein jab hamien bhejna tha\u2026
\ndo pal bhi apne baarien mein na sochte the\u2026
\npata tha akele pad jayenge door beto se\u2026
\nphir bhi hame himmat aur haunsla dete the\u2026.
\nBaatein to abhi aur bhi hain\u2026\u00a0yaadien to abhi aur bhi hain\u2026
\nrukti nahi zindagi yahaan\u2026\u00a0ke aage unke saath safar aur bhi hain\u2026..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
