The Door

I am fond of reading books; and because of this love I am famous in my locality as well as at my workplace. In search of books which are of different kind than the normal ones;I reached to a big public library and told the librarian about my choice. He stared  and directed me towards the caretaker. The caretaker was an old man and was busy in arranging books alphabeticaly. I reached him and told the same thing. Without paying attention, he told me to take the stairs. I did the same. Over there on that floor I went through the different sections of the books which were covered by a thick layer of dust; but nothing caught my attention. Suddenly I got myself stopped by a strangely covered book on the top right corner of a shelf; which seemed as if it would fall down. The book was wrapped in a brown colour cloth. It was looking really old and dirty. The book looked heavy but I tried to pick it up from the shelf. The moment I caught hold of the book, a secret door behind my back was suddenly opened. I was scared; but wanted to proceed further. I looked here and there; nobody else besides me was present there. Then I reached near the stairs then found that the old caretaker was still busy. I went back and entered the door. Initially the passage was dark; but after I walked a few yards I noticed a thin ray of light coming out of a narrow hole. I started following the light. I marched nearer to it. The light was getting stronger enough that I was unable to keep my eyes open. I tried hard and found that the place where I was standing seemed like a part of an ancient mansion. The hall was full of valuable ornaments and gold bricks. Everything was sparkling. I was shocked and wished my friends were there. I knew that without witnessing the scene, nobody would believe me. So I decided to take some evidence with me and while keeping my eyes closed; started feeling the things around me. Randomly I picked up a few things and kept them in my pocket. I thought that I should leave the mysterious place as early as possible and turned to go back. The moment I turned, I felt something hard under my feet. I lost  my balance and fell down and felt being thrown by two powerful and ice cold hands. I do not know what happened then because after coming back to consciousness I found myself at a chair in the librarian's  office. He was staring at me suspiciously; as if wanted to ask something. I had no courage to ask him what had happened. He himself told that I was found upstairs in an unconscious condition.They went their after listening a terrible cry from me. They told me that I was banging my head against the wall and was continuously crying.
It has been five years since then but i could not make out whatever happened to me that day.

A LETTERED WOMAN

                       A lettered woman is barely tolerated, Gets blamed to be a psycho and humiliated. She is an outlander, arrogant and proud, The quality possessed by her are never counted. Not a good cook nor a better housekeeper, Her shortcomings are always overrated. The bitch, the slut who is over ambitious, Are the common titles with which she is decorated. What mark she is leaving in her professional life, This aspect is hardly ever being noted. Be it teaching, managing, treating She may be doing efforts worth being quoted. Those who curse are never at fault, These are the values which they are deeply infested.   (elfpriyanka)

हो रही थी परीक्षा आज मेरी क्लास में बैठा था एक मित्र मेरा आज मेरे पास में। एक था सवाल कुछ ऐसा जो मुझे नहीं था आता, पर नकल करने का इरादा भी नहीं था भाता। क्या करूँ मैं क्या करूँ था बस इसी एहसास में, बैठा था एक मित्र मेरा आज मेरे पास में। गिनने लगा मैं अंक अपने कुछ सोचने था लगा, मुश्किल तभी एक आ गयी जैसे नींद से था मैं जगा। जो प्रश्न छोड़ा था मैंने परसों फ़िजूल जान कर, टीचर ने वो पूछ लिया था सबसे इम्पॉर्टेन्ट मान कर। हो जाऊँगा अब फेल मैं वो प्रश्न था कम्पल्सरी, आँख, भौहें, त्योरियाँ सब चढ़ गयी थीं तब मेरी। जैसे ऑक्सीजन ना आ रही हो अब तो मेरी साँस में, बैठा था एक मित्र मेरा आज मेरे पास में। वो प्रश्न १५ अंक का था, था बड़ा विकराल सा, शुक्र,मंगल और शनि की तीव्र वक्र चाल सा। हो गयी गलती है मुझसे क्या करूँ मैं अब भला? क्यूँ रात कल थक हार कर जल्दी से सोने मैं चला? दे देगा उत्तर मित्र अब था बस इसी विश्वास में, बैठा था एक मित्र मेरा आज मेरे पास में। साहस जुटाकर मित्र को दी दोस्ती की इक क़सम, पर मित्र ने जो मुँह फेरा तो ये हुआ ना तब हज़म। मिन्नत भी की, रिश्वत भी

And he went away

And he went away He came and gave me a little bit of smile, And he went away. Neither could recollect my wonderful memories, Nor could find my way, And he went away. The time was not enough to love and be loved, Couldn’t reveal what wanted to say, And he went away. Again there’s solitude and lots of grief, Ever-growing sorrow not giving chance to feel gay, And he went away. O’ my love, my life and my strength, To reduce the distance is all that I pray, And he went away. To control the senses is easy but emotions, is difficult; I sit, I work or I lay, And he went away.
