Wanna sleep more!

-
It was around 5 AM today morning when I heard someone asking for me outside. People around must have helped that voice and showed it my way. To all my surprise, it was her, totally unexpected. Unexpected because she was not talking to me for weeks. I was very happy (indeed joyful). We talked a lot like we used to do, however this time being together. She also brought beer for both of us. Satisfaction and joy were at its highest level until I woke up.
I started cursing that moment and wanted to sleep more so that I can be with her, completely lost in that peaceful dream. But this is how our brain works, it had already faced the reality that it was a dream and denied any more sleep leaving me distressed.
So I decided to store it in words before it gets fade away.

A month to remember !!

On 27th Dec'18 night, laid on my bed waiting for sleep to get consumed in my head, eyes to follow, I was thinking about her, or better call it, her birthday which was about to happen  exactly 30 days later when the people would be busy posting their love for the country. Indeed she was going to be 26 on this coming 26th.  "Let's surprise her being at her place on her birthday, so book the tickets" - I ordered to myself.  Signed in to IRCTC and booked the ticket -  Waiting list WL #48 I got. "Aah its been a month, surely it will get confirmed." Minutes later I slept as if a war has been won. Few days passed and I checked the current status - the number reduced slightly. Now with every passing day, my checking frequency increased exponentially. The waiting list number was started appearing in a single digit and the chart preparation was still a couple of hours away . Happy me !! Bags already packed, half leave taken and reached the railway st...

How privileged I am..

PS - Rotate your phone to landscape mode for better reading. How privileged I am... that I have not been diagnosed with this virus "Corona"- an uninvited guest, that I have all the access to PPE's & to the doctors doing their best. that I didn't get stuck somewhere far away or at some remote location, that I am able to spend quality time with my family like any other vacation. How privileged I am... that I am not those migrants who have to walk miles in scorching heat to reach their home, that I have been watching web series all day, turning my AC ON. that still I am employed and my salary is being credited before the month ends, unlike those who lost their jobs and nowhere to go, everytime the economy bends. How privileged I am... that I am not residing in areas completely shattered by Amphan cyclone, that all this time I am pursuing my hobbies and not feeling alone. that my house is intact and not taken away by huge floods, ...

09/05/2020  वो 16  मजदूर नहीं थे, 16 मजबूर थे | भूख के मारे थे , पैसे की किल्लत थी और अपनों से दूर थे || सब्र दिखाया था उन्होंने, सरकार घर पहुंचाएगी उनको | तभी तो अब तक के सारे इंतज़ार, उनको मंजूर थे || लेकिन कब तक रुकते, कब तक रोते, चल दिए पैदल ही | अभी तो 40 km ही चले थे, मंजिल से बेहद दूर थे || सोचा पटरी के रास्ते ही चले जायेंगे ताकि पुलिस से बच सकें | "रेल मिलेगी तो पकड़ लेंगे" - आँखों में ख्याबों के ऐसे नूर थे | थक गए तो बैठ लिए पटरी पर और आँख लग गयी | पैरों के दर्द और छालों के कुसूर थे || रेलगाड़ी आयी भी, और सब अपने घर भी गए | लेकिन साबुत कोई न बचा, सब के सब चकनाचूर थे || किसको परवाह थी ऐसे मजदूरों की | हम सब तो अपने आप में मगरूर थे || हमारे बीच तो 1 मीटर का ही फासला था, घर तो उनके मीलों दूर थे | वो केवल 16 मजदूर नहीं थे साहब, वो तो लाखों में ऐसे 16 मजबूर थे || May their souls rest in peace.....                        (Victims of Aurangabad train...
