December afternoon

22.12.2017

This picture was taken today by my friend Mehr at a local nursery. The hues of the flowers, the shape of the leaves, the green of the grass and the soft touch of the petals made me grin from ear to ear. I laughed at the joys of the natural beauty and wondered at the mesmerising beauty of this little wonderland at the corner of the city.

Nature has always been an inspiration to me ever since. It teaches me to be bright and colourful even the darkness of the night of life.

Harda

हम देखते ही रह गए इस अजूबे को

बाहरी रूप से सुंदर प्रतीत हो रहा 

पर अंदर ही अंदर मर रहा है यह पेड़।

I write and delete many poems 

it is an old habit which may not die young.

The worthiness worries me 

but I ask today, who decides our worth?

It’s in our hands

 whom we shall give  the reins.

Our soul is the real cart puller, 

I want it to know it’s worth today.
