Our meet

The tickling drops of rain,

Instigates your feel,

Like the fresh dew of morning,

My heart goes to you with a kneel,

Oh! a rainbow of my life,

Your silky hair shines,

The eyes capture the moment,

The hug acts as wines,

Let’s craft a new era of romanticism,

With glued hands & united heart,

Let’s paint a new sky, where,

Every moment, we can flirt.

Those drowsy conversation, 

In the starry night,

Subconsciously boosts me up,

Turns my day bright.

My mood swings as pendulum,

Your touch is so nourishing,

Reborn after every meet,

Had become a phoenix, so cherishing,

The moments fly off,

In the blink of an eye,

And when you walk away shying,

I can’t control the sigh,

 

Tell a Tale

He lives to tell a tale,

In a body so frail,

Ever young heart,

Experience of a new scale,

He lives to tell a tale,

To those wandering seeds,

That needs water to sprout,

That needs to check the deeds,

He lives to tell a tale,

Like, ‘Alice in a wonderland’,

Stitching the belief in love,

Gifting this age, a brand,

He lives to tell a tale,

He knows, sharing is caring,

He instills the smile around,

Signifying the importance of baring,

He lives to tell a tale,

Every color is so different,

And the world needs more,

‘Rainbow of unity’, not a dent.  

बेबसी

मुंबई की बारिश भी तुम्हारी तरह है,

तभी आती है जब भीग नही सकता,

पर आती रोज़ है ये पगली भिगाने,

और मैं पागला छुप भी नही सकता,

ललचाती है मुझे अदाओ से अपनी,

उस मोड़ पर, जहाँ मुड़ नही सकता,

ऐसा संगीत गुनगुनाती है वो अक्सर,

जो मेरे लफ़ज़ो में घुल नही सकता,

वो करती है अनेक भावनाए अंकुरित,

परन्तु दूजा लिबास चुन नही सकता,

बस निहारता रहता हूँ चंचलता को,

जानता हूँ मैं ख्वाब बुन नही सकता,

मुंबई की बारिश तुम्हारी तरह ही है,

निहारता हूँ हर्सू पर, रुक नही सकता,

बरसता यौवन देता है कुछ दर्द, पर,

एहसास के बिना घाव दुख नही सकता || Dr. DV ||

Out of the Blue

“It’s out of the blue” is the reaction of many football pundits and enthusiasts at the end of Euro-2016 when Portugal football team wrote a historic page for their nation. Winning a euro world championship is a big thing, it’s a grand slam of footballing world. No matter how experienced or young & inexperienced you are, no matter you are an underdog or a world beater, entering the final and winning it, speaks volume. Greece did it in 2004 when they beat Portugal in Portugal. This year Portugal repeated the same story, but this time in their favor beating the host France at France.

Interestingly, the classy shots and one man shows were missing. Few footballing brains labelled it as a boring tournament, a tournament one should forget early. But should that matter at the grand stage? No it shouldn’t, because football is a team game and not an individual’s property. Definitely it creates heroes, but the glory is of the nation or the club. Everyone want to see ‘out of the world’ skills and goal scoring feasts at this stage, however people only remember the winners. The famous quote – ‘Individuals wins you matches, but a team wins you tournament’ stood tall during the final of Euro-2016. Portugal was the team that stood till the end, gasped their last breath, kept their nerves and nailed it. Taking nothing away from the French team, they fought hard, attacked fiercely, trying to melt the post in the search of glory, but tall that went in vain. On the other hand, Portugal, missing their start player, three times Ballon-d-Or winner, Cristiano Ronaldo within 30 minutes didn’t stop them from winning the final. That’s why football is unpredictable and a treat to watch. This year, in the English Premier League, Leister City won the league unexpectedly and emerged as heroes between the great clubs like Man U, Man City, Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea.       

Ronaldo on the day didn’t have his luck as a player, for that matter in Euro-2016 we didn’t see the Ronaldo we are used to (except against Hungary and Wales). He was the integral part of Champions league win for Los Blancos this year against Athletico Madrid, but for his country he wasn’t available as a player after 30 minutes. But when you breathe football, live it and have an unmatched desire to win something for your country, you can’t sit calmly. Exactly same happened with Cristiano Ronaldo and we saw him alongside Portugal’s coach as if he was the assistant coach for a short, but important, period for Portugal. We saw Ronaldo cheering up the players, giving them hope and giving them the belief of doing something that Portugal must have done 12 years ago. That agony of coming so close and losing it was familiar for Ronaldo who was then 19 years of age.

Past is past they say and it turned out true for Portugese fans, players and every single one that has believed in Portugal. The 109^th minute saw that magic, the magic of Edger. Edger will not be going to forget this sooner. Swansea might have dropped him as a player, but Portugal and Ronaldo knew what he can do. We saw this during the penalty shootout, when Ronaldo backed edger to take penalty for Portugal and we saw that same belief in the final. This win would be special for CR7 as he added something he was longing, since ages, to his unbelievable accolades. It would be something different for Portugal as a team. 

Portugal will now have that self-belief of winning a silverware without Ronaldo, most importantly as a team. The team spirit for Portugal will get an unprecedented boost after this win. We might see Portugal rising through the ashes and top teams will see them as a challenge.For the time being it is all celebration time for Portugal. 12 years from 2004, the wait is now finally over. The Portugal fans can now look forward for more, they can now look forward for more Figo’s and Ronaldo’s after this win. There is no question that Ronaldo has become a historic player for Portugal as he gifted the nation the gold as a captain.

ज़माना

रह गया सब प्यार, मकानो में,

बिकते है अब ईमान दुकानो में,

किस ज़माने मे जी रहा है तू,

ज़िंदगी बीते यहाँ तयखानो में, 

भूल से भी नही आती है याद,

मिठास मिलती है मयखानो में,

गिरावट आई है सोच में इतनी,

हँसते है लोग यहाँ, थकानो में 

हैरानी न पाल देख दुनिया 'साथी'

          पैदा होते है इंसान, ज़मानो में || Dr.DV ||

हालात

मेरे मन की प्यास बुझाने को, यह सागर भी कम है,

होंठों में रखते है खुशियाँ, और आँखो से पीते गम है,

कपड़ो की चमचमाहट सूरज को करती चकाचौंध यहाँ,

जी रहे है जीवन खुशियों में, बहुतों को ऐसा भ्रम है,

बदलते है सामान पल में यहाँ, रूह की फ़िक्र किसको,

खुद को बदल दे जो यहाँ, इतना किसी में न दम है

खुले बंधन, खुले धागे, खुले लब और खुले जज़्बात,

बंद आँखों से गुजरती इस ज़िंदगी में सब गये रम है

बन तन्हाई को पीकर, महफ़िल में लेते साँस 'साथी'

किनारे हुए है किनारे, ऐसी मझदार से गुज़रतें हम है || Dr. DV ||

Utilizing time

Meditating hard,

Using Time,

Feeling light as card,

Like a rhyme,

Preparing to march

Against crime,

Safety of that arch,

Is now prime,

Darkness in our life,

Act as lime,

A touch of strife

Turns sublime

Memories

Catastrophe isn’t incessant raining blood,

It’s that piece of land, where we last stood,

Where I lost the charm of my flickering life,

Every twinkling second turned into a strife,

Where all the fairies lost to an ugly reality,

Loneliness was my gift, painted brutality,

Where fragrance seized to exist any more,

A black box in this puny earth with no door,

Where tragedy stuns the humanity and smile,

Pervert time keeps you alive, death is style,

Where plethora of event pleads to respond,

And the silence of soul breaks every bond,

Where words lose the battle to numbness,

And a body is only left, nothing to harness,

Where a tide sweeps the heart at the shore,

The bed of tempting roses, no more a galore,

The touch of love, leaves you at intersections,

And when you believe in it, only rejections.
