HUMAN BOOKS

I met someone,
Strangely unknown,
I began the conversation,
He began the story,
I felt like,
His story was novel,
I began to give face,
To each of the character,
I began to question him,
Why did you leave that job?,
What did you earn?
What did your family say?
I kept imagining,
The details of his house,
The details of his classroom friends,
For me everything came alive,
He was enjoying his memories,
I was enjoying my imagination,
He was a book to me,
I was turning page by page,
Mysteries of his life,
Became discoveries for me,
I was diving in the story,
Twist and turns,
Interested me,
As the end came near,
I wanted to flip the pages,
And see how things end,
Curiosity was burning,
He decided to speak slowly,
I wanted him to end fast,
He wanted to talk more,
I flipped the pages of the story,
It was The End for Sure,
I was happy,
He was sad,
Finally I closed the book,
As I kept it back on the library shelf,
That book said,
"Take Me Home".....

Meri pehchan hai kya, Kisi ki beti kisi ki behen hu me, Meri pehchan hai kya, Ek viklang shareer hu me, Meri pehchan hai kya, Wo kehte hai parai hu me, Meri pehchan hai kya Wo kehte sab par bojh hu me. Me bahut likhti hu, Par wo meri pehchan nhI, Me apne liye sochti hu Par wo meri pehchan nhI, Jo wo kehte h, Wo meri pehchaan bn jaata h, Jo me kehti hu, Wo bas unsunaa sa ho jata h, Meri pehchan hai kya? Koi mujhse ye sawaal krta nhi Meri pehchan hai kya? Mujhe koi viklang kehne se darta nhi, Haan hu me viklang, Par mere sapne apaahiz nahi Haan hu me viklang, Par mere iraade apaahiz nahi, Wo kehte h ki tum aise kyu chalti ho? Wo kehte h ki tum aise kyu bolti ho, Sawaal p saawal h . Jawaab deke thak chuki hu, Jaao baatado inko ki me inke liye jee ke thaak chuki hu, Padhti hu, sochti hu aur likhti hu me, Ab Yahi meri pehchan hai Na aurat hu na viklang hu, Ek lekhakika hu me..... Ab Yahi meri pehchan hai..

The Long Walk

Pulling up myself up the floor, I was 14.. when I learned to walk, Walking without support was a family dream, That I didn't thought could ever come true, I sat there.. wondering how could people walk.. without falling back?, I sat here.. there.. Everywhere because I couldn't walk, I used to believe that walking was a gift .. that God forgot to shower on me, So.. I learned to compensate... Compensate the lack of walking, As walking was an unachievable goal, For someone with 60% disability, To the sense of listening and observing, When a kid first learn to walk.. He wants to discover something new, So did I when you learn to observe, I observed how people treated me, Some with love and some with ignorance, I realize people see me differently, I realize that they don't see my thought process, They just see the physical me, Pulling up myself up the floor, I was 14.. when I learned to walk, I could then just see walls, Walls that I could hold on, To move

If they fell in love with a person with disability

This is just a observation, Maybe I did the same, Once upon a time, Glorified someone, Who is in Love, With the person with a disability, I was at fault, But now I understand, How wrong was it, We often do the same, To someone who's the better half of  a differently abled, We don't realize that, It's their Right, To have a regular relationship, To have fights, To get the time.. To understand each other, We don't realize, That we are wrong at our part, Why should we do that? Everyone has some broken pieces, That can't be glued, Yes, we can see an overt disability, But do we know, What's going on inside? All we are looking at the abled person helping a disabled, It's sacrifice in the eyes of the society, The abled person becomes a Hero, In the eyes of the society, We tell them, You are great, That you choose a differently abled, As a life partner, The abled person is often seen victimized, You are so brave, That you choose a
