Respite

RESPITE

-Utkarsh Sharma


1.       A bird,
I saw upon a tree.
The tree I lost in a spree
Of promises I need
To keep; and kept walking away.
2.       A smile,
I saw upon a face.
The face I lost in space
And fell from my own grace.
Oh please can I go astray?
3.       For I,
Once want to be amazed,
Force the pedal of the brakes
And loose some pace.
Maybe I will someday.


On my way to a graveyard                                                                         Resembling Ulysses

Spring Is About To End

Spring Is About To End High Time For Answers -Ashish Spring is about to end. The visitors had a good time and its time they return back to their reality. At breakfast they say that they would like to come back next year. Nearly all guest say the same thing when they go. A few faithfully return but for the most of them once is enough. ‘Overlook hotel’ has the most beautiful view of the valley in the whole County. Chilling weather with a huge shower of snow was a surprise for the new guests. There is an old graveyard on the road back of the hotel, nearly 1 mile away. Every Saturday I take a walk to the burial ground through the dead silent road. I sit next to the tombstone of Mrs. Whiteman. For now, she is in some sort of solitary confinement. I really want to dig deep in the ground to look for her and find out what’s really going on down there. Death no more lives here, as according to the records since last three years not a single corpse has been here. But there is an off...

जीना सीखो -उत्कर्ष शर्मा १. कब तक दूसरों की जिंदगी जीते रहोगे ,     कभी खुदकी भी तो जीकर देखो।     रोज़ यू थोड़ा क्यों है मरना,     कभी थोड़ा जीकर देखो। २. कब तक सीमित चीज़ें देखते रहोगे, नज़रिये का दायरा भाड़ा कर तो देखो। थोड़े से दिल क्यों है लगाना, थोड़ा खुलकर जीना सीखो। ३. कल और काल मैं क्यों है जीना, आज मैं घर बसा कर तो देखो। कल की चिंताओं  से क्यों है मरना, थोड़ा आज क सुख मैं जीकर देखो। ४. सुख सुबीता का दायरा छोड़, थोड़ा झोखिम उठाकर तो देखो। सपनो को हासिल करना सरल नहीं, थोड़ा खून, पसीना बहाना सीखो। ५. दीर्घसूत्रता का दामन छोड़ कर, परिश्रम का हाथ थाम कर तो देखो। बुलबुलों से ख्वाब नहीं बनते, ज़रा चिंगारियों से खेलना सीखो। " एक दुनिया अपनी बना, अपनी लगन और म्हणत से। दूसरों क यहाँ तुझे क्यों है रहना, जहाँ मरना बेहतरार जीने से?" ६. थोड़ा संकल्प, थोड़ी म्हण त  जूता  कर, खुद को एक मौका देकर तो देखो। हार  भी गए तो कोई गम नहीं, जीत की प्यास को भड़ाना सीखो। ७. कब तक दूसरों की जिंदगी जीते रहोगे ,   ...

A Good Deed (4/4)

A GOOD DEED - Utkarsh Sharma 4. The good deed (4/4) I first went to the ‘Marine lines’. I walked the whole stretch, mesmerized. The sound of the sea was blissful. Even though I was all but captivated by the sea a little part of my attention was continuously over my phone. After walking the whole stretch I headed towards The Gateway of India. I could’ve taken a bus or taxi but I felt like walking. Moreover I didn’t want to spend much before I start earning for real. (image:https://en.wikipedia.org) The Gateway of India was the most crowded place that I have seen in my entire life. There were people everywhere. I made my way through the crowd towards the Gateway. The gateway was huge. I roam around it for a while. It was then that I received a call. My heart jumped out. I was all but sure that it was Uncle Ramjit calling me for the interview. I took the phone out of my pocket. It was Aai, calling from Kolhapur. My heart was now beating with a normal pace. We had a ...
