वो ईद, ईद न होगी। (Woh Eid, Eid Na Hogi.) Covid Era is a different time and we are experiencing the things differently. Our lifestyles has changed, the way world behaving has changed and it has also changed the way Eid will be celebrated this year. The feast of fasting (Eid Ul Fitr ) will not come with Feast,Fun, Sharing, Caring and meeting our loved ones. But we still make it happier by doing our part in helping the weaker sections of the society which we must do. As a writer and poet I have celebrated this by writing this poem which I am sharing here. Happy Eid.     जब तेरी दीद न होगी, फिर ईद, वो ईद न होगी।   Jab Teri Deed Na Hogi, Phir Eid, Eid Eid Na Hogi. रात में तनहा चाँद का दीदार तो हो जाएगा, मुबारक़बाद देने को मगर मोहल्ला न चिल्लाएगा, चाँद रात पर जब ज़रूरी ख़रीद न होगी, फिर ईद, वो ईद न होगी।   Raat Mein Tanha Chand Ka Deedar To Ho Jaega, Mubarakbad Dene Ko Magar Mohalla Na Chillaega, Chand Raat Par Jab Zaroori Kharid Na Hogi,  Phir Eid, Woh Eid...

रंगो का त्यौहार - होली ! Holi is celebrated as festival of communal harmony in which Muslim friends are also invited in 'Holi Milan Samarohs' (Holi festival gatherings) and all enjoyed collectively. The practice has not vanished but is limited to few people and in few areas from last four to five years when animosity among the communities has increased due to 'Us' vs 'Them' politics. In this poem I wish the festival of color and joy bring happiness to all equally again. Happy Holi.   रंगो का ये त्यौहार, इस बार, दुःख-दर्द सारे ले कर जाये, नफ़रतें जो बढ़ रही हैं, उन्हें मिटाए।  Rango Ka Ye Tyohar, Iss Baar, Dukh-Dard Sare Le Kar Jaye, Nafratein Jo Bad Rahi Hain, Unhe Mitaye. गुंजियों की मिठास इस बार, करें चमतकार, देश के होते हुए भी जो हैं गद्दार, उनके सवालों के जवाब मिल जाएं, आये करार।  Gunjiyon Ki Mithas Iss Baar, Karein Chamatkaar, Desh Ke Hote Hue Bhi Jo Hain Gaddar, Unke Sawalon Ke Jawab Mil Jayein,  Aaye Karaar. The Festival of color Holi, destroy all animosity...

I am posting a small Christmas poem for this festival i.e birthday of Jesus Christ. Merry Christmas. A Christmas Carol with his ghosts of past,present and future wants to say leave greed,hatred,selfishness,meanness and happily stay that's what Christmas also reminds us each year, make good each day.

Eid in Palestine The world has endless problems some out of mistakes and some out of power yet people decode the every possible way to be happy and satisfied. Palestine is one such place and Palestinians are such people who are trying to remain hopeful when they are surrounded by debris of their houses and having pain of losing their loved ones. They are observing Ramzaan fast in such condition and will join Eid celebrations with the world also. Their spirit and never say die attitude prompted me to write this small poem for Eid dedicated to them. Happy Eid to all.  Shattered, tattered, with bleak hope, faith giving them power to cope, in love, peace, brotherhood has the scope, to tie the festivities & happiness with one tightrope. Their spirit is broken but not destroyed, in small occasions they are satisfied, Eid is the festival of giving and to fill void, pray that on a new day, new cheerfulness buoyed. 

Festival of Colors - Holi Holi is the Indian festival of colors. Colors denotes respect,joy and compassion towards each other that's why people forget all their differences during this festival. Like each year I also have to offer something on this occasion, so here I am presenting a poem with the flavor of the season. Happy Holi to all. May the festival help us strengthen our relations with each other.  The festival of color has all the required notion, to spread the flavors of joy,of love and compassion. Hug each other and forget all differences & tension, for creating sweet memories this is perfect occasion. There are who even pollute this festival's loving tradition, ignore and stop them to play colors with passion. Life is tough, at each step offers various prohibition, live that day as celebration of god's favorite creation. #######

Our Constitution Celebrating one more Republic Day on my blog is a great feeling. The constitution is an oath which make us one as a nation without it we have no national identity. It guarantees equality,liberty, freedom, socialism and secularism to all the people of India. But these values are in danger today from some fringe elements which kicking them from their feet and sadly they are rising because of the apathy and indifference of our government bodies which are also created by constitution. This year my poem giving highlight of constitutional values and how they are under threat. Hope constitution always remain strong. Happy Republic Day.  An adult girl is not allowed to marry her choice, to choose her faith, to constitutional liberty rejoice, scolded,threatened,supressed when she raise voice, I am sure in multiple sessions,  they not built that weak constitution. Guardian of constitution when permit the screening, terrorists of a community fearless threats giving, gove...

Messiah Arrive  25th December marks the birthday of Jesus Christ the man who sacrificed his life for the betterment of humanity.

Remove The Darkness Within Diwali is not only the festival of artificial light but the light of enlightenment we ignite in ourselves. Togetherness, sharing, giving and the things like that associated with this festival all aim at making us a good human being. To be a good human is prerequisite before becoming a good follower of culture,faith,religion or leader. Happy Diwali to all.  World is blind to humanity, hate is the motto of today, against the rising brutality, no one has any say, Who will light the lamp to send away darkness? In politics all faces are the same, no one is crusader against the bad, business is checkmate game, no one is for poor sad, Who will light the lamp to spread the kindness? Let the Human inside us rise, more than any Messiah who sacrifice, Who on evil & good can advice, encourage other to be wise, Only a light illuminating inside us can kill the darkness. Hope To Celebrate A Diwali In Which I Can Burn The Evils Inside Me And Also Spread The Message ...
