Badal gaye hum


Samajh rahe the mujhe anjaan woh
Haar gaye the hum unke bharose mein,
Chhu na paye unke mann ko dil se,
Is dard-e-lafzon ko ashkon ki dawa si mil gayi.

Rehna to nahi chahte the unke dil mein hum,
Par khwaabon mein mere usne jagah bana li.
Hasti thi jab woh, hazaaron gham kurbaan hote,
Is dard-e-khamoshi ko mohabbat ki hawa si lag gayi.

Jagmagake gayi woh mere har lamhon ko,
Ab andheron mein muskura raha hoon main.
Ummeedon mein subah chhupi hai meri,
Is dard-e-zindagi ko ek duwa si mil gayi.

You wished for a smile, and walked through the isle, you wished for the reveries to come true. A fine friend, you expected. A flawed foe, and a marred knot, you got. While I hopefully craved for the dawn, you eclipsed into despair with a resentful scorn. Emotions began to take turns on the weighing scale. My pains versus yours, versus our trust getting frail. Giving up may not be your forte, and winning may not be mine. Deprived and devoid of love, we live together, waiting for tides to change, waiting for a sign from Above, waiting for the impossible, waiting for a miracle.

Where’s the Middle Ground?

If you are a middle-class man and married recently, there must be an incessant turmoil going on in your mind. You must be thinking, “why me?” There were times when nobody cared what you did, or said. But now, after you are married, everyone questions your decisions and actions (even inactions). You are blamed for posing a “changed” (read,  spoilt ) behaviour and it is basically not you – it's because of YOUR WIFE, who has drastically changed you as per her convenience and necessities, just because you are like clay in your thirties. Anybody can manipulate you and make you their slave, right? That’s the intention of every marriage – to enslave all of “Man” kind. The mother-sister combo tries that for a particular period with all their love. To some extent they succeed without any resistance from you. Because, you too love them back equally for everything they did to you, right from your birth till your marriage. Now that you have become their most prized possession, it is nearl...
