“मेरा प्रिय मित्र कहाँ चला गया?”

“मेरा प्रिय मित्र कहाँ चला गया?”
– सी. आचार्य


उसने मुझे पानी दिया,
एक छोटे कटोरे में,
जो काफी था तैरने और नहाने में।
निहारता था मुझे वो,
खिड़की के उस पार से,
इस तरह छुपकर, कि मैं डर न जाऊँ उसे देख के।
वो पानी मीठा लगता था,
पर अब हो गया है कड़वा।
कटोरा अब खाली है,
उसकी साँसों की कमी है।
मेरी टेरें अनसुनी हैं।
क्या तुम्हे ये पता हे,
मेरा प्रिय मित्र कहाँ चला गया हे?
मेरा प्रिय मित्र कहाँ चला गया हे?


(A haunting tribute to people who lost someone special. For me its birds and frogs.)

He was wondering something, as if he wanted the love, care, guidance, the joy of family. I felt so bad. I wondered if his mom was okay? The feelings of the dog can only be understood by p...

Finding Solace

Poem-Finding Solace We both talk, To each other, Night and day, Dawn and dusk, About the stars, About the mountains, About the Romeo-Juliets, In our beds, In our works, In our leisures, We found solace. Our neighbourhoods burn, The smoke comes, Still we talk, We breath in the love, For each other, Hence we found solace. POET- C. ACHARYA
