COMPROMISE

He was supposed to learn respect and self-control from Politics, but what he gained instead was a high endurance for pain and the conviction that compromise was better than suffering.

THE WINDOW

Sourav woke up from his deep slumber. No one could have woken him up; it was quiet – too quiet for comfort. He sat up and opened his transom window, DEAD silence.

Innocence

 He got up and saw the kid collecting pebbles. He couldn't stop smiling; He remembered doing the same as a kid. 

TIME

SHE picked up her pen, fingering the pea-sized lump underneath her breast, regretting the TIME when she decided not to undergo a mammogram.

Glitzy Lights

The Page 3 society seemed strangely prophetic of her own - the same exaggeration of violence and sensationalism, the same “alphabets” of (un)reason and the fictionalization of experience.

"I WANT TO LIVE-SHAATIR"

abhi zinda hoon main, dekho meri pehchaan baki hai.........

badan zakhmi hai lekin abhi mujhmain jaan baaki hai.....

tum apni hasraton ko zalimon marne nahi dena........

shahadat ka mere dil main abhi armaan baaki hai.........



aap teer-o kamaan rakhte hain

hum bhi seene main jaan rakhte hain

aur itna ooncha na boliye

hum bhi moonh main zubaan rakhte hain

ENGLISH TRANSLATION



I AM STILL ALIVE, The Person I was is left in me

This Body is Wounded but there is still life left in me

You , my killers, don't let your ambitions die

The desire for martyrdom is still left in me.





You have weapons in your arsenal

I too have this lust for life in my heart

And please don't shout so much

I too have a tongue in my Mouth.
