बूँदें

बूँदें 

जिस क्षण सलिल से होली,
ईश्वर के आँगन में खेली जाती है।
तत्क्षण ईश्वर के चरणों से निकली वारि,
वर्षा बन वसुधा की प्यास बुझाती  है।

देखो वर्षा की बूँदों को ,
तरल , सुकोमल , उन्मादों को ,
नभ से धरा तक विचरती हुई ,
 सुर - संगीत सजाती है।

एक रेशमी डोर  बन वर्षा की बूँदें ,
सृष्टि के दो भिन्न - अभिन्न अंगों को ,
"व्योम को वसुमति" के बँधन में
बंधना सिखलाती है।

It's my life so.......... mind your own business....

It's my life so.......... mind your own business....

Woke up one night...

with a question in my mind..

Is my life really mine?

And other's need to mind their own business..

Or I'm rather being controlled by the remote-control in 

someone else's hand..

Started pondering my thoughts, 

looked at the picture of a deity on my bedroom's wall.. 

The deity was looking and smiling at me...

Deep in my thoughts, I wondered again..

Is the deity smiling at my worry or, she is the one who is trying to guide me

 with the answers inside me..
