आफताब

नींव तो खुद ही की चाहती मजबूती है हिम्मत अन्दर ही से तो टूटती है  अब भी सुधारों अपने मन को ज़िंदगी की डोर कमज़ोर मन से ही छूटती है  आफताब खुद ही को जलाकर जहां रौशन करता है ये बारूद अपने अन्दर ही तो भरता है जो इंतज़ार करता किसी तारे का, या चाँद का तो क्या वो सब कर पाता, जो सब वो करता है? अपने आसमान के, अपने जहान के हम ही आफताब हैं न ढूँढें कहीं और अपनी कदर, हर चीज़ में हम कामयाब हैं क्या करेंगें सहारा पाकर, हम बने हैं सहारा देने के लिये जलना हमारी फितरत है, किस्मत है- रौशनी देने में हम लाजवाब हैं  -Kirti

My experiments with poem writing (1996-2000) Freedom

Background: One day, during my undergraduate course,  I was in a very pensive mood when I noticed a bird on the window of my room, the bird inspired me to write the below words. I was struggling with idea generation and generally in a thought rut...but when one gets unconditional love and acceptance, it has amazing power of lifting the gloom and throwing it right out of the window... some candid conversations with my maternal grandfather helped me release this burden of expectations from myself and trust me, it led me to perform at my best so far academically...the first time when I scored the highest in a class :) The Poem: Freedom I'm feeling like a bird, I'm feeling free This feeling of freedom is new to me. It has been a long time that I felt like a bird, We were trapped in the bonds binding the herd. Let my mind take its wings and let my joyful feel, The songs of freedom and the lyrics of zeal. It has been a long time that my heart sang! But I'll remember

Me and You - Thank You (1997)

I wrote this poem when I was all of 16 years old and my muse was a very handsome, young man - will unfold the mystery of this man sometime later :) Proof-reading credits: Mrs. Shubhra Chaturvedi and Mrs. Vandana Ghosh The words you said to me were new,  They stole my heart and gave it you. Now it is yours to do whatever you please to do,  And all I want to say is that I Love You By understanding, by reciprocating my love for you, you gave me everything I ever wanted from you. The two little common words- Thank You, Are not adequate enough to express what I feel for you. But one day will come when I will show you, that as you love me, so I love you too. After twenty years from now, we may deny this feeling. But in our hearts there will still be a yearning. For the love you felt for me -  And for the love I felt for you. When we will be miles apart, and the pain of loving you will not depart; The words we said will come to our rescue. And we shall have the memor
