Defining Being

As you may know me.... I try to pen my feelings, with more honesty than with language and grammar. While reading the posts below you may experience what compelled me to write these.
While I was thinking of giving a name to my Blog; this came to me; "Nuances of Being"
Being "Me" is the best that I am at and hope that will show in the posts below

And Thanks for reading

कुछ चीज़ें बेशक़ीमती होती हैं - आज़ादी 

Some of you may remember I shared some Poems in this series a few years ago. Mostly nostalgia. Today I feel like sharing one more, and this time more a pain and remembering some of the things that we had taken for granted. With the Poem below: I want to remind myself and everyone that we do not forget these days when all this is over. And always be grateful for the freedoms that we enjoy and take for granted. This loss of some of those basic freedoms as we are forced to now; should stay a constant reminder and a constant gratitude in our hearts.

वक्त चल रहा है पर कदम चलते ही नहीं 



कुछ दिन पहले तक तो महफिलें खिलती थी 
एक दूसरे से मिलते थे हम,

मन हो वहां जाते थे 
मनमाना घुमते थे, मनचाहा खाते थे

कब वापिस पहले सा होगा 
मजबूर मन पूछा  करता है 


कैद से कटते दिन,
आज़ादी का मोल बताते हैं 
कभी बाहर कभी कल को देखते है 
हम और खुद को फिर समझाते है 
सचमुच कुछ चीज़ें बेशक़ीमती होती हैं
जैसे बे-डर जीने की आज़ादी  

  कुछ चीज़ें बेशक़ीमती होती हैं
