कविता: ' सोचता हूँ '

सोचता हूँ  - (रजत दीक्षित)

सोचता हूँ कुछ लिख दूँ तुम पर,
जो बता पाये तुम्हारी छाप को।

सोचता हूं फिर से एक बार कोशिश करूँ,
पर थका सा हूँ मैं पुरानी असफल कोशिशों से।
किसी को पाना और पाकर बिछड़ना दस्तूर है ज़िन्दगी का,
फिर क्यों मैं दस्तूर को बदलने पर अड़ा हूँ?
पत्थर पर अमिट निशान की तरह होते हैं भाव,
उन अनगिनत निशानों को मिटाऊँ कैसे?

सोचता हूँ कुछ लिख दूँ तुम पर,
उकेर दूँ तुम्हे कागज़ पर अपने शब्दों से।

FRIENDSHIP DAY

Hurray! It's FRIENDSHIP DAY.
Time to celebrate this bond we share.

For all of sharing, caring and pampering
Time to celebrate it while remembering.

Less joys, more sorrows ? It's fine.
Half of them yours, half mine.

Real friend never does a favour
He does so as he is your saviour.

Whether you hate me, mock me or punch me
Oh! I'm so daring; Will stand by thou.

Review of Aman Arora Anthology Volume I

About the Author:

Aman Arora is a scholar and seeks interest in writing poems. He has been writing  poems since he was 13. At present, he is pursuing Bachelor's degree in education.

Cover:

'Aman Arora Anthology' has been written over it with word 'anthology' having special detailing of words are there. Whem you see it minutely, they seems to be choosen from the poems only. Volume I gives an idea that next volume is in the store .

Content:

Book's content us divided into various sections:

Flash Poetry, Self-Reflection, Relations, Love & Affection, Philosophy & Spirituality, Creativity and Miscellaneous.

Foreword by Raghav Gautam sets the tone of the work of Aman Arora. Flash Poetry gives goosebumps at time when you will read it. This work is worth mentioning:

'Looking into her midnight eyes,

listening to her sleepy voice,

cuddling her loose hair,

I have known bliss."

Works like this and many more take you to another world of your own. In these works of Aman, we come to know what he has gone through in his life.

Haiku is one beautiful part of this collection. Few words are there but open to your own height of imagination.

Poems like

"Learning After School",

"Space",

"Affection", 

"I still need you",

"Sorry Pa, I disagree",

"Ice-Cream",

"There is No Way",

"Just Let it Be",

"What a Dream is"

are some piece of jewels showcased by poet in his work.

In creativity, he explores his view towards art and what he feels for it.

There are poems which focus on his relationships with his grandfather, his father. There is something too about 'unsent letters' as poet used this phrase a few times.

I would like to quote few lines from his works:

'There is no way that you can break my heart. 

Without breaking yours.'

'the voice that is lost in our routine rush, 

refound, reviewed by a poet's brush'

Verdict:

In totality, Aman Arora will win you over as you will progress. He will have his moments while you will read. Raghav Gautam foreword seems to be true when you're done reading it.

Aman hasn't used typical words and has gone easy with expressing which makes poetry better.

Aman promises us with good work in future too.

Poem: You

Poem: YOU

Authored by Rajat Dixit

You made me go in trance state,
Not like those which trance songs make.
I feel helpless for the things I do now,
But you don't perceive them as true.

If they weren't to be true for you,
I didn't had to write these pieces of blues.

I have come long way through,
Scores aren't settled even now too.
I have forgotten things of past with you,
Have the same sine waves, like brand new.

Now, it's like a dormant volcano,
Which once ragged like a tornado.
I don't know if it's ever going to stop,
I want you, to be you lest 'nothing nope'.

Hey! Dad.

Hey! Dad. It's your day;
I'll make sure, you feel happy & gay.

I remember those days,
You brought me what I liked & gazed.

You've been always my supporter,
For my problems, the best decoder.

I have many names for you,
My life's aim is associated with you.

Whatever you've, you're & you'll do for me,
I can never pay that debt back.

Hey! Dad. It's your day;
This is a small token of love for you, I say.

About a book, "Heart of Bullets"

Hello! Guys. Wassup?

I read a book few days back, HEART OF BULLETS.
You all can read it.
It's a nice book with a nice story comprising of love, friendship , sacrifice and bravery of soldiers.
Nikhil kushwaha has my applaud for writing such a good book with poems in between, one liners, general messages and his own ideology.
The saga is full and complete except it could have been a bit shorter(280pages) , about 200 mark. It has grammatical mistakes too, but they are due to poor editing , not author's fault.
Overall it was a nice attempt to tell so many things. If it would have been shorter, it would have been a bestseller.

For all lovely Mother's... 😘😘

The last piece is left,
And you just love pie!
She’s too full to eat,
She claims now with a sigh.

Everywhere you go,
You hear the same tale.
That Mother’s Day is here,
It’s even in the mail!

We’ve got something to say,
And we mean every word.
You should honor her everyday,
We hope that you’ve heard.

8th May is approaching, 
A day to make her see,
How much she matters,
How much she’ll always be.

She - a masterpiece

She has got the face of a goddess ,
Has a class and showering bless.

Feelings are invisible to her,
Blue faces, you'll see never.

She tricks the world with charm,
Call her a witch or a trickster, she darns.

Smiles like no sorrows are there,
Cries like I'm her babyware.

She will never let you know,
Character is white like the snow.

for love... !!

Parents are living gods!!

I felt that sudden push when I realized how much my father-mother have given up for me in all these times.

I felt that push to do great things for I will live to make their mark.
I love them as they have given me everything they had.

Love your parents.
They are God's living on earth !!
Their sacrifices are unparalled to any kind of love and lust.

I love you maa-paa 😘😘😘😘

Prayer !!

God, if you give me enough means and make me wrothy enough !!

Please keep my sense of giving to others intact. I can't see those men suffering and those who are capable of helping them, are slaves of affluency and greediness.

Amen.

Amazing feeling called Love !!

Psychologically, it takes four minutes to fall in love.

I don't know if it's true. Sciences are hilarious at times.
I fell in love 400 times in those four minutes of watching her. 💓

Well, love is an irreplaceable thing. You have to accept it. One day, it will happen to you for sure... ☺

Bad times are Good !!

You never gonna know when you are going to fall.
But when you will do, you will come to know who was really there for you.
Only bad times reveal the best of friends.
We are aware in bad times only.

Whenever the time is not good, better look for things and not to sit gloomy out there. It's not going to help.
What you will experience then, will be a lifetime thing for you to share if you came out victorious.
I wish you come out with ✌✌ 

Wishes !!

Always try to surpass things which others think YOU aren't capable of.
You will feel a sense of joy in doing that.
Taking up challenges and beating them down makes life interesting.
Love life to the fullest of your imagination
And take the hell out of others!!

All the very best to YOU in that endeavour of yours. ✌✌

My Vibes!!

Peace, Kindness & Calmness is the food of ur Soul.. Find peace more than anything else, LIFE 'll be blissful !! 😄☺

Random lines

There are many kinds of people
Only few suits us, may be a couple

Don't go for making everyone content
It's life made for being discontented

You can love a few very truly,
I hope they love you back smoothly.

They are luckiest who get their love,
But those who don't, they dive low.

I wish you all get what you wish for,
After all it's what we live for.

Self written poetry!!

O Dusk
How to ask
Moreover met with people's musk
Without reason nobody had task
People survive to stands in desk
Maybe any purpose can't try to ask
Once ask
Why more question can't ask
It's not wrong if question sounds song
Life's log without mysterious ! sings song
Within shape people make cake
Within shape people make fake
Happy to talk
Comfort without folk
O Dusk
How to ask

Bad Days

Bad Days
.
I'm all tangled up inside,
Like a rope lying roadside.
.
They say, music is the ultimate heal,
Nothing ignites a burning zeal.
.
Times come and pass by,
You have heard this a lot, aye.
.
I am now a calm man at the outset,
Not giving a hint about that upset.
.
People will try to kill you in all ways,
Just be strong and you will pass those bad days.
.
I ain't strong much I know,
That doesn't allow you to give me a blow.
.
You may be awesome but,
I am the one for some.

From Crush to Love

I have been thinking for you,
Yeah, but not sinking for you.

I love you and you love me,
A secret love that the world will see.

We will go Dubai for sure,
With hand in hand being pure.

I pray to god that you stay by my side,
Just that I want you to hide.

All I want is you people's Love

So , great is the response that has been shown by you people. ✌

You guys need to be appreciated for tolerating my posts. 😜

Keep following me & continue pouring your love to my posts.

Best may happen to you in whichever part of the world you are present ... 😊😊

SHE..

SHE..

He remember those inhibitent cheers,
Which have succumbed to her fears.
Didn't had the taste of wearing bangles,
But she was my guardian angel.

Her eyebrows had momentarily frowns,
She acted like wearing a crown.
All the world around underestimated & rated her,
She had a daunting will & sense of care.

A boy entered her life's stage,
Realized her beauty & purity like of a sage.
She knew his trueness & love,
He said, "You are flawless, love."

As always it happens, she started liking
It was like the mountain moving.
They were the rarest priceless times,
He never thought them, a temporary regime.

Now, she is busy with wordly affairs,
It seems to him, she doesn't even cares.
Actually she does all of that,
But he wants 'that' charm & feel back, little of that.

💛❤

Note For You

If you want quality matter, you got to give me time.

I may not post frequently, but when I will, your heart <3 will throb with 'lub-lub' sound.

I just want you to be patient and be loving.

Thanks for all the love uptil now. ☺

Changes in Season

I was expecting some cold this time but it didn't came that well.

Not even for 15 days , I didn't felt a bitter cold of 10 degree centigrade temperature.

I feel worried about what future awaits for all of us.

May the global leaders take a note of this before it's too late. 😞

Better your Inside 'YOU'

Try improving your inside person, not the one visible to the world.
It will make a you a good human being.

It will make you some sense , not non-sense.
We all are weak at the inside. We need to ponder over ourselves.

Think & Act wisely. ✌

To my readers

Like I said, love made me write.

Now I can say, I can write on a given feeling I'm going through.

It feels awesome to be here on BLOGGER.

I can express the very true side of mine.

No other platform provides this freedom of expression.

HOPING to connect to more of you!! 😊😊

Love Can Do Wonders !!

I met a girl.
I used to know her before too, but in real sense I came to know her a little later.

I used to send him texts, morning texts, wishes... They all made her day.
I, sometime used to write a few lines for her happiness too.

From her, I derived motivation for writing.
She praised me for all that magic of words I did on her.

Yes, love can do wonders.
And it did.

It made me a writer from being an engineer only.

TRUE STORY... 😊😊

Traditions : Roots of Life

Traditions: Roots of Life

We live in a world where the surroundings we see are just nothing but made from our own values & traditions. I grew up in a middle class family & my parents inculcated good things of their level. The change of family status brings a change in virtues , traditions we hold.

The most important thing is holding onto the virtues we get from our elders, our parents. All men who became great & made a name of themselves had one thing in common: Sticking to their Virtues.

Different backgrounds 'll have different virtues, but they are those which make you stronger in life.

Try not to lose the faith in you, the faith your parents had in you. 

Try not to go onto the path, the path your parents didn't wanted you to go.

Just believe in yourself, your values, 

& in the end, it will all be worthy doing that.

Pain of Death

Pain of Death

That son's mom who toiled whole life,
And she was wayward husband's wife.

That mom left her parents and home,
Gave life to another family into which she came.

She had a son who grew long and tall,
She thought he would never fall.

Days went by and times changed its course,
It all turned from bad to worse.

Her husband passed in front of her,

And had Face with a white pallor.

Her son was her only stand,
The Boy was like her magical wand.

On one unfortunate day,
He didn't felt calm & gay.

Decided to hang himself with black ropes,
Vanishing his mother's hopes.

Nobody can feel that pain of death,

That life which went away in vain.

Is Life, the most valued asset?

On 6th of night, my cousin brother passed away leaving behind my aunt(his mom) & all of us reeling in pain, grief & depression.
When I used to meet him, I felt he was full of energy & enthusiasm. He was of 30 only. How can someone go so easily?
Now, nothing seems valuable to me.

Whatever he did to me, to the relatives, to the society will always be remembered.

Guys, please do realize that our mere existence is just momentarily.
Keep doing your best without its consequences.

I wish now, I could talk to him once & say, "U're a nice man brother."
Keep praising persons who are near & dear to you, who knows U might not see them again.

LIFE LIVED FOR OTHERS IS THE MOST VALUABLE ASSET IN THE WORLD !!

RIP Bhai... 😢 😢

New Day ! New Thoughts !!

Hi! All. I'm a blogger now. It feels great to connect to you all. :)
I have been thinking in past to express what I have inside. This place is the right place to put my feelings & emotions through writing. :D
I will be posting here now & then. Stay tuned ;)
