I AM A 'WOMAN'

                              

I am a woman,
I am average yet smart.
Life for me is a game
Not a difficult art.

Sometimes I win
and the other I lose
Rest of the others force me
To chase a wild goose.

I am independent and strong enough to
Handle my pain.
When I bow and drop down
Then also I am in gain.

I don’t come to anyone
To get help and support,
Whether I am holidaying
Or presented in a court.

This attitude of mine drives
Several to go insane.
A few start staring and the others
Show their mane.

They find problem in my dressing,
Cooking and thinking.
But I am sure somewhere deep 
Their manhood is sinking.

As if I have donated
Or mortgaged my life,
Buddy I am a woman
Before becoming your wife.

A few traditional people 
full of values and culture,
Even sometimes call me
A Hyena or vulture.

They call me selfish,
Greedy and a fool,
Cause I am never caught
In their trick-filled pool.


They have to tolerate me
For whatever I am
A smooth long highway or
A fussy traffic jam.

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.
