The Love of Absence

The absence is nothing but a void 

That wants to be filled with entirety

That wants to stay silent till the hell breaks loose.

The shadows of the past may haunt you for long

The drapes of darkness will fall someday

The mystery may get solved too, but, 

What will remain etched in the memory shall remain forever,

It’s nothing new, was never known too, 

The sacrilege to the heavenly bond will stay strong too, but, 

The only thing that will matter most , the truth, 

Will never be found, will never exist.

It’s the absence of everything that will haunt, 

The presence never shocks nor thrills, it speaks 

The dilemma of a shredded heart, a broken wing, a dying dream.

For the night is the friend of those who sleep, 

Those who don’t, fall prey to grief.

The darkness engulfs the sorrow and promises for light

The light that never shines nor sings, it speaks 

The tale of a sunken heart, a trodden leaf, a fighting mind.

Let all the hell break loose now

Let all the shadows go missing,

Let the memory be profound

Let the heart fly with a dream with hope, existence and mindfulness.

Let there be everyone holding hands together 

Waiting to board the first ship to solve the mystery of a lifetime

Let there be you and I, waiting for our turn to succumb

In this mystery of life and never return.

A life which is full now, nil of voids, full only.

A life less dark, less dreamy, less haunted. 

A life of only you and I.

Digital Vidya- A Single Platform for all your DM needs

But things have changed post-2010 and so is the world of blogging in this digital age. As I am writing this post right now, locked up in this Pandemic was never the plan, such uncertain times. But yes, the knowledge of future-ready of digital marketing and social media marketing as I say 'E-skills for every marketeer proved to be a game-changer for me. I was interested in learning digital marketing in the year 2017 when I decided to have my resume updated and sharpen my existing marketing career in the rapidly changing outside world.

According to the latest survey, 56% of go-to businesses in India are going to shift to Digital Marketing. So there is an immense scope of job opportunities who want to enter this industry.

‘लता, आज चाय नहीं पिलाओगी?’

 

(संदीप संग रुचि‍‍‍‍‍‍)

मानो कल की ही हो बात उनसे हमारी हुई मुलाकात

उनकी हाथ की चाय के क्या कहने है,

लगा जैसे जन्मो का अटूट बंधन हो,

बस हमसे सम्हला ना गया और हम गलती कर बैठे कि उनसे शादी कर बैठे!

हम आपसे शादी कर बैठे.

आप ने हमेशा समझाया, रवि इस चक्कर में ना फँसो बहुत पचताओगे,

हमने बात पलट के उनसे पूछा , एकटक बस वही पाँच शब्द-

‘लता, आज चाय नहीं पिलाओगी?’

 

रवि और लता को जब हिमाद्रि और अभिलाषा हुए

तब हमने जिद रखी, हम एक को डाक्टर और एक इंजीनियर बनायेंगे

लता ने तब कहा हमसे, ‘गर कवि और लेखक बन गये तो क्या कम हो जायेगा आपका प्यार?

क्या नहीं होंगे इनके सपने साकार?’

आपने अपना समय दिया और साथ में हमारे हिस्से का भी,

समय नदी कि भान्ति बहता गया, लहर दर लहर समुंदर में हीरे-मोती, हीरे-मोती.

जब दो सुखद संसार बसे, एक कवि और एक लेखिका उभरे, तब जाकर लता से पूछ लिये-

‘लता, आज चाय नहीं पिलाओगी?’

 

जब साठ की सीमा लांघ लिये तब यौवन का ख्याल आया

कुछ मुरझाये गुलाब कि पंखुडिया गालिब कि किताब में दबे मिले,

आंखों के समंदर में डूबे रहे मेरे कुछ अरमान ऐसे निकले

कुछ धुँधलाये यादों में से उनकी तस्वीर बना लाये,

दस्तक देती है आज भी उनकी मुस्कान मेरे मन के द्वार

वही चेहरा याद आता है लता, मानो मिले थे जब हम दो पहली बार.

याद करता हू आज भी गुजरे हुए वह पैंतीस साल

जब तुमने कहा था, ‘रवि मुझे एक वचन दो बस आखिरी बार,

मिलोगे तुम मुझे वही मेरे घर के द्वार, मेरे चौखट पे तुम्हारे दस्तक का रहेगा इंतजार.

मुसकुराऊंगी उस बार, कम शर्माऊंगी, पर बेझिझक बेबाक तुम मुझसे पूछना एक बार-

लता, आज चाय नहीं पिलाओगी?’
