PILLAR GREY


वह pillar grey के नीचे बैठ...
सुबह से साँझ होते देख रहा था।
सब घर मे बंद थे...
कोई उन्हें देख ही नही रहा था।
वो बाहर सड़क के बीचो बीच pillar grey के नीचे,
आते जाते पहियों को बड़े ही ध्यान से देख रहा था।
बाकी तो और कुछ दिख ही नही रहा था।
वह pillar grey के नीचे बैठा बस यही सब देख रहा था।
सुबह से शाम होते
बार - बार, देख रहा था।

What should we do in situations like these? Everybody is looking at it through his/her own understanding of what would be good for our country as a whole.
While taking in all what experts and others have to say about the situation, my mind is quite confused about the relationship of economy (or money) and people (or citizens, if you want to see them only in the context with the State). Which one of the two is more important? Does economy make people or people make economy? Can we place one over the other? Some people are suffering more than the other, is it because of their economic condition?

I am no way worthy or the right person to right about the pain of any other person. The above lines writing by me are the saddest part of the situation we are living in right now. I am clueless, if I should be happy about my privilege of being able to write in such situations or grieve about my own countrymen/women/children who lack it or are living it. 

Shaved LEGS.

It is 3:00am and I am reminded of my instrumental music teacher from 9 th standard.  My school had morning assemblies every morning till 10...
