Ek Kahani Garma Garam Chaai Ke Saath

By -
Sparrow is my favorite bird. Not for some random reason, though. I only remember one story from my childhood. When my mother came from work, and we slept on our tiny bed, she narrated this story night after night. Same story for years and I never got bored of it. If there was anything a child wanted in a story -  this story had it - moral, fun, thrill, justice, action and hope. It left an indelible impression on my tiny heart… so much so, whenever I spot a sparrow, my lips arch and heart is filled with joy. Such is the power of a story. It moves you. It transports you to a magical land. And, at the same time gives you enough wisdom to deal with the real world. But there is one catch - for any story to make an impression, it should be told in the right way.

What’s the right way, you ask? Well, that’s a tough question to answer. It’s perspective. It’s personal. Like, I met a girl on the blogosphere - witty, fun, honest and she shared stories that were outrightly irresistible. I read her blog occasionally. She said good, honest and inspiring things. I liked it. Many other liked it too. Then, the obvious happened - word spread out and she grew. Now, her blog has grown bigger. She still shares good stories on it. Stories that are real. Stories that strike a chord. Stories that give dollops of wisdom without being preachy. Read all on ChaaiPani.com and judge for yourself. And, if you like these stories, they are told in the right way. Because only the right way of storytelling can evoke emotions!

Also, if you love these stories or the idea behind any story, help ChaaiPani. This storytelling platform needs money to reach out to more people. There are people who prefer watching a story, and she is planning to bring it to them. They need money to make videos of these inspiring tales. How do you do that? It’s simple. ChaaiPani is running a crowdfunding campaign.  Follow this link - make a contribution and invest your time and money in a good story.

Open your heart and wallet as we need good stories for fun and wisdom.

Sorry, I forgot to mention this girl’s name. She is Shruti Chaturvedi, waise naam to suna hi hoga!
In case you are not convinced by my 400-word post, watch this video. Maybe, their humor can convince you to spare some money for this amazing project.

Rewind - September 2023

 I wrote the following in September. Sometimes, I feel I will forget the art of writing couplets because I am not writing at all this year. I strongly believe you have to practice to hone your craft. And I am not doing that. Perhaps I schedule a time to write a poem. Or I need better time management skills. Date Published 09/05/2023 मुझे उसके जाने का इतना अफ़सोस नहीं हुआ  जितना इस बात का कि इतने सालों तक उसे रहने ही क्यों दिया  Love, Saru

फ़ुर्सत में मिलना मुझसे यूँ दो चार घंटे के लिए नहीं  सिर्फ़ हाल चाल नहीं पूछना बातें करनी है तुमसे कई देखना है तुम्हें एक टक शिकवे करने है तुमसे कई हज़ार जब नाराज़ हुए थे तुम मुझसे और जब छेड़ा था मुझे बीच बाज़ार चवन्नी-अठन्नी सा ढोंग मत करना मान लेना मेरे हर कहे को सुबकियाँ से काम मत चलाना बेहने देना ग़र आँसू बेहे तो  सख़्त होने का दिखावा छोड़ आना नुक्कड़ वाले बनिये की दुकान पे सिद्दत से एक बार बोल देना  कि गलती होती है इंसान से तुम मुझे छोड़ गए उसका तुम्हें कभी अफ़सोस हुआ है क्या मैं नहीं तुमसे पूछूँगी  कि मेरे बाद मेरी तरह किसी को छुआ है क्या  ना मैं इस युग की मीरा हूँ  ना हो तुम मेरे घनश्याम बस इश्क़ है तुमसे बेपन्नह मुझे बाक़ी सब कुछ है मुझमें आम  तुम भी सोचते होगे ना  यह तीली सा इश्क़, ज्वालामुखी कब हुआ यूँ समझ लो तुम्हारे जाने के बाद तुम्हारे ख़याल ने दिन में 100 बार मुझे छुआ अब गणित में तो तुम अव्वल हो हिसाब लगा ही लोगे पर सोच के आना जनाब  पिछले 15 सालों का हिसाब कैसे दोगे  तो आना बस फ़ुरसत में  यूँ दो चार घंटे के लिए नहीं  सिर्फ़ हाल चाल नहीं पूछना बातें करनी है तुमसे कई

I Am Not Alone

Last year blessed me, He walked silently into my life. It was Love, That took me in its stride. One evening we walked holding hands, Then, I told him what I felt in heart. He said we were one soul, Who were living in parts. To bring the parts together, We fought with the world and tied the knot. Being one soul, Gave life a whole new spot. Chirping birds, floating clouds, Nature conspired for us. Always swimming against the tide, Life was in an adrenaline rush. This year cursed me, He walked silently out of my life. It was Death, That took him in its stride.       Yesterday his soul was saying, Fearing memories will fade, he can’t move on. He will stay and admire me, Standing always by my side from dusk to dawn.
