Unpublished Works

These are some of my articles, written in a lyrical fit. If you can make sense of anything do let me know. I would love to have your comments.

1. abhii na jaao chho.D kar

And at such a time, the girl has to leave. She has to go where her Destiny beckons her and in that attempt cannot stay back for long. At such a time, parting lips that feign, sing songs of love as .

2. From Me to You - Part I

“My gifts are not from a mortal man to that immortal woman; they are from a Sufi fakir who drinks nectar like poison and that too like a solitary star at the migrated evening of this departed country.”

3. From Me to You - Part II

Today’s evening, I have returned back to my house - I did not wish to come back - but I am cowardly enough to have no other place to go - except with you. But what is it that I do not wish to lose here? My creative world full of fantasies and dreams?

4. From Me to You - Part III

10. Moment

“Tyen tyakten bhunjeetaha.” My own thoughts echoed like a celestial prophecy! But then, how? How is it possible to first renounce and then enjoy a thing? How is it possible to enjoy a thing and not yearn for it? How it is possible to live a life without desire?

11. Paradise
