The different realities.


I used to think till now that home was never a place, but a time. 

It only took a daily cycle of sending  thousands of stranded migrant labourers back to their districts and states, that I realized,
Home was also a place.


मै अक्सर सोचा करती थी कि घर कोई जगह या चारदीवारी नहीं होती। वो तो एक समय होता है। लेकिन इन दिनों सुबह से शाम तक हज़ारों प्रवासी मजदूरों को उनके जिलों और प्रदेशों में भेजते हुए महसूस होता है, की शायद मैं गलत थी। घर एक जगह भी होता है। वो जगह जहां तक पहुंचने के लिए आप हर फासला तय कर सकते हो।

You live here.

I don't just
- exist -
I live here.
"बस एक गुज़रता लम्हा ही नहीं मैं  
जो पलकों  पर से उड़ जाता हूँ 
मैं एक बरसता कलमा हूँ 
धागों की तरह जुड़ जाता हूँ  "
कलमा: in Urdu means word

Because.


You exist. 

You exist
as summer 
somewhere today.
You exist.
also in my memory 
right here each day
still making my winters 
beautiful.

You exist
in spaces
between these frost particles
as color,
crimson
carved on white branches,
like a lone painter
has painted a smile
with solid lines
which move
on his canvas
to create happiness.

You exist.

Simple.

When your world is drowning,
tumbling upside down.
You'll do anything to protect it.
Simple.
