Happy Eid al-Fitr

Yaad rahega ye waqt taa-umr,

Ek Eid aisi bhi thi jiske aane aur jaane ke darmiyaan bahut se ghar seviyon aur logon se mehroom rahe.

Taqabbal Allahu Minna Wa Minkum...

Dua

“You will never be able to conceive owing to chronic anovulation,” her doctor told her.

She persisted with benevolence and prayed for a divine intervention every night with her palms facing the sky.

Three years later, she was blessed with a daughter and she named her Dua…

Starry Love

Once upon a night, you wrote your love for me on the stars and left this world. Since then, I have developed a penchant for nyctophilia...

Even

“Do I owe you anything?” she asked me before bidding farewell. I kissed her sternum for the last time and said, “Now we are even.”…

People Matter

Having nothing is better than having no one...

Lullaby

The effectiveness of a lullaby doesn't depend even a smidgen on proximity...

A Divine Connection

She was fond of learning a lot about a lot of things.

“Docendo discimus,” were her father’s last words.

She continued to teach as long as she lived…

Happy Mother's Day

There is no dearth of languages with rich vocabularies but a mother’s love will never be effable…

Bliss

Making love leads to ephemeral delight,

Being in love leads to perpetual bliss…

A Daughter's Ordeal

She used to swerve for a few minutes and then sleep after hearing her mother’s dulcet voice.

A dozen years later, every night, she stays awake and tries to call her mother back to this world…

Happy Birthday Audrey Hepburn

The fourth day of the fifth month of 1929 witnessed the birth of a person who was a beautiful personification of style, fashion, charm and benevolence.

She learned ballet despite being just 170-centimeter-tall and acquired fluency in five languages.

While watching Breakfast at Tiffany’s, I still feel ineffably happy.

Happy Birthday and Rest in Peace Audrey Hepburn…

Betrayal

She told the world that she hates him

But her telltale eyes betrayed her

She tried to hide every bit of what the stars saw when they met at nights

But her telltale eyes betrayed her

She tried to pretend that she has run out of love for masculine perfumes

But her telltale eyes betrayed her

She told her dad that she can now lull herself to sleep

But her telltale eyes betrayed her…

Just a wee bit of love

Her virgin lips craved for caffeine and nicotine kept him satiated. Their love story was just like a body of shallow water...
