Lets refuse to grow up !





Growing old is mandatory but growing up is optional. We become adults because we have no other option. Things change and they change us as well. Childhood is a wonderful phase but by the time we realize this, it becomes a memory.
 We the kids of 90s have enjoyed some childhood pleasures that have become history now. My most treasured memory is of the summer vacations at my grandparent’s place! Unlike today the “garmi ki chutti” was not meant for hobby classes and summer workshops but cycle ride through the town, hand full of mangoes, hide and seek, moholla cricket, roohafsa evenings and watching cartoons. Those were the days of Disney, The Arabian night, Ariel the mermaid. 
But whatever maybe the era, “childhood days” is something that everyone cherishes. I give you a chance to relive some of those memories with me. Hope you enjoy it.



आओ फिर गुड़ियों के घर बनाएं
फिर से नन्ही नाव बना कर पानी में तैरायें
फिर से गमलों में टॉफ़ी छुपाएं
पड़ोस वाली आंटी के पेड़ से अमरुद चुराएं

आओ फिर चाँद को मामू बुलाएं
फिर से गर्मी की छुट्टी में नानी के घर जाएं
फिर से सुबह उठते ही खेलने भाग जाएं
सपोर्टर लगा के मोहोल्ले भर में साइकिल दौड़ाएं

पिंकी से ज्यादा लम्बी पेंसिल होने पे इतरायें
फिर सुबह झगड़ कर शाम तक भूल जाएं
फिर से दो रुपये के बुड्ढी के बाल खाएं
छुपन छुपाई खेलने के लिए दोस्तों को बुलाएं

आओ फिर झूले से गिर के भी मुस्कुराएं
फिर घर जाकर सोनू की शिकायत लगाएं
फिर से पापा के स्कूटर  पे बाज़ार जाएं
और थक कर रात में माँ की गोद में सो जाएं

An old write up ! A beautiful memory !




One day while flipping back the book of memories
I'll come across a picture like this
and I'll stop !!
A fresh blood will be pumped into the veins of a dormant life
the giggles , the chuckles will fill the silence of surrounding
Vivid and Vital !!
The baggage of loneliness will seem lighter
all of the sudden..
I'll smile into nothingness..
peeping back to those smiles, those amazing days, those awsum people
the glimpses of that warm love will fill the voids
And however hard I'll try to avert..
a tear will trickle down to complete my smile !!
