One fine morning, when the sun was bright;
I was craving for chocolate, straight from night.
I ran to my mother, jumped and gave her kiss,
She gave me my chocolate as she promised.
I was holding it tight, like the rat in eagle’s claw,
Enjoying it thoroughly which my brother had saw.
He came with a report card, pretending to whine,
Said he’ll give me a bigger one, if I got it signed.
I made my way toward the terrace for solace,
After giving him my best ‘Do you think I’m stupid face’?
I wave a pretentious hello to my despicable neighbor,
Smiling at him, is itself a big favor.
Besides failing a hundred times, he offered this time
straight,
‘I’ll shower you with chocolate if you’ll agree for a date.’
Feeling disgusted by his shoddy words,
Shivered for a while, with everything I heard.
I pack my chocolate along with my books,
School will be better to enjoy, as of now it looks.
Opening my lunch box, eyes themselves shone,
A classmate came running, disturbing my comfort zone.
He saw the chocolate and knew how much it I adore,
Begged me for assignment, promised to bring more.
On the way back home, I was hopping and singing,
Just eating my chocolate, no one was pinging.
There came an acquaintance, offering me ride,
‘I’ll buy you more
from the shop on other side.’
I refused with a fake smile, saying I can manage,
Knew he wanted nothing, but to take advantage.
Threw my bag away, hiding face in my pillow,
How can a fish breath, in a sea so shallow?
Holding my chocolate still in my hand,
Happiness has disappeared which whole day I pretend.
‘You are not my weakness, that everyone tries to use,
Leaving you for those idiots, I solely refuse.’
Wiping my tear away, I ate the last bite,
‘You are a necessary ingredient, for my soul’s diet.’
A girl with a chocolate is not always approachable,
She might be innocent, may be in some ancient fable.
Don’t try to buy her at this silly cost,

एक अन्तरावलोकन...!
हर वो घटना जो एक नारी के सम्मान को ठेस पहुंचती है, पूरे देश में आक्रोश और बदलाव की मांग, की एक लहर उठा देती है | हम धरने करते हैं, नारे लगते हैं, सरकार से सख़्त कानूनों की मांग करते हैं, सरकारें एक दुसरे पर दोषारोपण करती हैं, कुछ झूठे वादे किये जाते हैं, और क्यूंकि यह इक्कीसवीं सदी है तो इन सब के साथ-साथ अपने बेटों को और बेहतर इंसान बनाने की बातें करते हैं | पर क्या इतने वर्षों में हम यह सीख पाए हैं कि अपनी बेटियों की परवरिश कैसे करें ? क्या बचपन में हमने अपनी बेटियों की यह सिखाया गया था कि कोई गलत तरह से छुए तो चिल्ला-चिल्ला कर सकबो बताना है ? या फिर यह कि बस चुप-चाप उसे भूल जाना है ? उससे इस बारे में कभी कोई बात करी या नहीं ? पर बात तो हमसे भी किसी ने नहीं करी, हम भी तो भूलना सीख गए | हाँ बात ना करना ही बेहतर है, वरना अजीब हो जायेगा ना थोड़ा ? विदाई के वक़्त आज भी लड़की को यही बोलते हैं क्या के आज से ससुराल ही तेरा घर है ? क्या अपने अपनी बेटी को ये बोला था कि आज से तेरे दो घर हैं ? है ना दो घर ? अच्छा ये सब ना सही पर शादी के बाद उसकी गलती ना होने पर भी उसे झुक जाने को तो नहीं बोला
कुछ सुनाई दिया?
सुनो ! ज़रा गौर से सुनो कुछ सुनाई दिया? कुछ कहना है इन्हे कुछ बातें बतानी हैं ज़्यादा नहीं, बस एक आधा कहानी सुननी हैं इसलिए सुनो ! ज़रा गौर से सुनो कुछ सुनाई दिया? सिर्फ पथ्थरों से टकराने या रेट में मिल जाने इन्होने समंदर नहीं लांघा खुद में ना जाने कितने किस्से समेटे बचते बचाते छुपते छुपाते ये तुम तक आई हैं इसलिए सुनो ! ज़रा गौर से सुनो कुछ सुनाई दिया? कुछ आंसू घुले हैं इनमे कुछ फुर्सत के पल हर कहानी अलग है हर लहर में अगल हलचल ये किस्से उस पार के हैं किसी दूर देश के मालूम नहीं वहां किसी ने इन्हे सुना या नहीं इसलिए सुनो ! ज़रा गौर से सुनो कुछ सुनाई दिया? क्षितिज़ के उस पार भी इन लहरों को कोई सुनता होगा या इनमे छुपी कहानियां समझने की कोशिश तो करता होगा वैसे दुनिया के दो छोर इतने भी अलग नहीं वही कुछ आंसू यहाँ भी हैं वही कुछ फुर्सत के पल इसलिए सुनो ! ज़रा गौर से सुनो कुछ सुनाई दिया? जो किसी दिन इन्हे समझ जाओ उस परदेश के किस्से सुन पाओ तो पल दो पल जोड़कर एक शाम यहाँ बैठ जाना एक छोटी सी लहर चुपके से तुम्हारी थकान मिटा देगी और ये छप छप की आवाज़ दिल
Why Coherent Rambling...huh?
After eight long years since I started this blog in 2012, a pal called to inform me that my blog was the first result when she googled " coherent rambling. " I should be thrilled, correct? Well, it didn't surprise me. There's only my blog named with these words. I already knew it's unique (considerably). I created it. Allow me to explain why. In 2012, this blog had a different name, which I'm not going to tell. Cause I was in college, I didn't put much thought into it and opted for two words I heard most. Still not telling you. Then one day, I can't recall the day or even the year, my conscience rose and laughed at me for naming the blog so naively. Yeah, still not telling. Anyways, I sat down to find a new name. But how? or where? or what should I look? Those days I was reading a lot and was fascinated with oxymorons. They sound morons but are clever and amusing. Oxymorons are the group of contradicting or opposite words used together. Like Open sec

"A girl with a chocolate is not always approachable"
ReplyDeleteLoved it :-)
Very well written wherein chocolate becomes a crafty tool by which every single person tries to lure innocence. Even the best of things in the world can be misused. Your message is conveyed through the poem.
ReplyDeleteAppreciated the way you beautifully inculcated the innocence (chocolate) while conveying such grievous issue.....I really liked the writings of these four lines....they are moving, emotional, strong...comprises all emotions of your writing.
ReplyDelete" ‘You are not my weakness, that everyone tries to use,
Leaving you for those idiots, I solely refuse.’
Wiping my tear away, I ate the last bite,
‘You are a necessary ingredient, for my soul’s diet.’ "
Your message is definitely conveyed :)
