रोटी!

रोटी की चाहत में ही पहाड़ चढ़े जाते हैं,

रोटी की चाहत में ही युद्ध लड़े जाते हैं ।

रोटी के झगड़े में ही ताज लुढ़क जाते हैं,

रोटी की ताकत से ही तख्त पलट जाते हैं ।

रोटी की माया से ही महल खड़े होते हैं ,

रोटी की छाया में ही स्वप्न बड़े होते हैं ।

रोटी की गरमी से कुछ हृदय पिघल जाते हैं,

रोटी के मिलने से कुछ भाग्य बदल जाते हैं ।

रोटी की राहों पर कुछ दोस्त बिछ्ड़ जाते हैं,

रोटी की चाहों पर कुछ स्वप्न बिखर जाते हैं ।

रोटी की माया पर कुछ ग्रंथ पढ़े जाते हैं,

रोटी की महिमा पर कुछ काव्य गढ़े जाते हैं ।

रोटी के आटे से माँ के हाथ सने रहते हैं,

रोटी की छाया में ही परिवार बने रहते हैं ।

THE WORLD REMADE!

He opened his eyes. There was water everywhere around him.

He understood. The doomsday had arrived. Everything and everyone had got destroyed. He was the only human left alive.

He heard God speaking to him, "Man, You are the only human left in the world now. I have made you survive for a special purpose".

God ordered him, “Board this boat". 

He looked at a boat waiting for him. The boat was occupied by various animals, two of each kind, a male and a female.

The God spoke, “I have sent this boat for you. You will soon meet a female of your species, live in the garden of Eden, reproduce, grow your species and spread all over the world. Meanwhile the animal species too will do the same.  The world will be same again”.

The man asked, “Why did the world had to see this doomsday? What cause it?”

God replied, “The humans brought the doomsday”. “You know, global warming, weapons of mass destruction, chemical and biological warfare, all that brought the doomsday,” God disclosed.

“But don’t worry,” God reassured. “ I have saved you from extinction. Now you will recreate the human species. The world will be same again”.

“You mean the humans caused this destruction?” the man asked God.

“Yes,” God replied. “Now hurry up, board the boat before the water sweeps you away".

The man stepped backwards. Thought for a while, then refused to board the boat.  He turned back and ran towards the forest as fast as he could. Soon he vanished into deep. A few minutes later, the floodwaters engulfed the forest.

No one knew what happened to him.

The world was soon populated with various animals, except the humans. The animals lived, flourished, and  spread all over the earth. The earth became a beautiful place.

A second doomsday never happened. The world lived ever after.

Compassion Or Fashion!

When the pretty young lass,
adorning the crown,

Spoke of compassion in every
verb, adverb and noun,

Was it compassion or fashion?

Or compassion as a fashion?

* * * * *

When the prince sat with the poor,

The flashbulbs clicked, he made sure;

When he ate from their plate,

a crowd was arranged to watch from the gate,

Was it compassion or fashion?

Or compassion as a fashion?

* * * * *

They tweeted and blogged,

About the downtrodden and robbed,

For some likes and votes,

And some appreciating quotes,

Was it compassion or fashion?

Or compassion as a fashion?

* * * * *

The marathon they ran this week,

In white caps and T-shirts so sleek,

For the abandoned and weak,

Was it compassion or fashion?

Or compassion as a fashion?

* * * * *

She wore a sari as fair as her heart,

In her hands, played God’s art,

When she touched souls and loved them here,

The compassion said, "You are me, oh dear! ”
