"The Grey Zone"



“This is high.
It’s scary and it’s going to hurt a lot.”
He thought as he stood on the edge
Of the 30th floor building
Tried some leaning
But was taken aback
He was unsure
His mind went blank
Some greys in his eyes…

The librarian who worked
At the same place for 20 long years
Stepped outside the main door
Locks, turns
Takes a few steps
Stops and turns back again
Checks the lock
And this is same
For everyday
Coz he couldn’t shake the greys of his mind
                               
A girl says, “I love you too”
And cut the call
Stood up and went to the mirror
Brushes her hair
A doubt in her eyes
As she looks
And asks, “Do I?”
Then heavily shook her head
To loose the greys of her mind

A man in his 60s
Looks at his grandchildren
Smiles and thinks
“I had a beautiful life”
But then something overcrowds his mind
With some flashback memories
He wondered
“If I could still get her back,
Is this the life I’d choose?”
For once he thought of-course
But then again, “Will I?”
He disputed with the greys of his mind

Memory In a Coffee Mug

(Zindagi Ke Panno Se)

Mein, jisse ab zindagi mei chai ke alawa kuch magical nahin lagta
Usse yeh baarish ke pani ke beech rakha hua coffee ka mug itna yaad aayega socha na tha


Some stories are never meant to be completed or to end
Life just gives us opportunities to have few episodes every now and then
We never get proper time with some people to actually reach somewhere
It’s just bits and pieces and how we decide to keep them is on us
Some may decide to just delete them, never have them again
Some may decide to give it a try to complete their story
And some like me just want these episodes to keep happening
We don’t want to think that we’ll never reach somewhere or we’ll get hurt
We are happy with whatever time we get
To all those stories that happen in parts in someone’s life and those that will never have any solid existence in life
For all those people who are like me
It’s better not to analyze
Let these moments blend within you
It’s better then never…

Zindagi chaho toh bahut lambi hai
Isme kuch palon ko ghulne do
Tum chahe sabse na milo
Par ek bar har kisi ko khud se milne do…
