Purane Shehar

तुम क्या नये शहर मैं पुराने  शहर को ढूंढते हो
वह शहर अब यहाँ नहीं बास्ते

न रहती है वह गलियां जहाँ बेबाक निकल पढ़ते थे तुम
और आवारागर्दी करते रोज़ नए रस्ते निकाल घर पहुँच ही जाते थे

कभी पैसे दिए और कभी फ्री मैं खाई वह टॉफियां
कभी दोस्तों ने दिलदारी की और कभी तुमने खिला दी उनको कुल्फियां

कट्टी पक्की मैं ज़िन्दगी बुरी तो न थी
लड़ते थे , मानते भी थे , कोल्ड वॉर से परे थी ज़िन्दगी

हसते थे तो बेबाक हसते थे , रोते थे तो बिलख बिलख रोते थे
मुखोटे से बहुत परे ज़िन्दगी बुरी तो न थी

वह शहर अब शायद बस हमारी यादों मैं बसते   है
और फिर किसी कोने से झांककर हमारी हालत पे हसते  है

Ancient Temples of India

"We can’t draw them on paper and they did on rocks" Whenever I explore India, I always try to visit old temples. I am not a very ritualistic person, I am spiritually inclined & love to peek into the grand history and culture of my Incredible country. Our ancestors spent centuries carving these beautiful temples. We can definitely spend a couple of hours to soak into their tranquility. I will keep on adding more to the list as and when I visit more such places. 1) Kailasha Temple - ( Ellora - Maharashtra) Kailasha temple is definitely one of the wonders of the ancient world. Carved out of single rock and drilled down from top to bottom this 8th-century temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva. This rock-cut temple is the largest monolithic structure in the world and took only 2 decades to build. Around 200000 tons of rock was removed with just hammer and chisel which is a daunting task even in this era with all the modern facilities. Temple walls are b

Travel fills my soul

I love to explore my country whenever I get some time, even if it's a day's trip. I love to be in the woods climbing some hill or just lazing around a lake. Travel fills my soul, not just a break from the mundane routine, but it gives me a sense that I am actually living a life and creating new memories. Sometimes getting lost at a new place without any itinerary isn't such a bad idea. I love 'slow travel' and covering all the tourist points is never an agenda. I would choose the top 2-3 places and rest all will be planned depending on the mood. Over many such travels, I have captured thousands of amateurish photos.  After every trip, I would shabbily document these trips and save them in drafts. For a very long time I wanted to write about them but, call it laziness or sheer lack of motivation, I never published them. The pictures are unfiltered, partly because of lack of patience and partly I don't want to create any dreamy image. I want to present India as
