Chhipkali sameth gaya chhachundar
Haathi aaya peeche ek bandar
Maindak sawaar hoke saare
Circus ghumne gaye bechaare

Wahan dekha bheed hazaar
Tota macchli sher jiraaf
Chamgaadad bhi aaya tha
Cheetah ka sandesha laaya tha

Dekho dekho shuru hua ab
Gadhe aur billi chheekhe sab
Circus ka hai baaja baja
Aao hum lein bekhoob mazza

Yeh aaye pehle kalakaar
Kitna sundar hai avtaar
Pehla khel maanush parivaar
Aao dekhein inka sansaar

Ek taraf paisa ek taraf izzat
Ajab yeh maaramaari hai
Aur bada aur ameer banoge
Isiko kehte tayyari hain

Hiran hasi aur hasi phir bakri
Bail ne saand ka peeth maara
Khilkhilaake hansi gilehri
Dekhkar yeh manush tamasha

Mobile dekhe toh kabhi toh tv
Ghadi ghadi ke maalik hain
Yeh bhaage idhar yeh bhaage udhar
Naukri aur izzat ke ghulam banein

Kabhi shikayat kabhi niyantran
Apne dil ko chhipaate hain
Padosi ki madad karenge
Par khud ki madad haanikarak hai

Bhaalu bicchoo suar ghoda
Dukhi inke chehre the
Bole inko bachana hoga
Insaan ko hamari zarurat hai

Jungle mein inko leke jaayenge
Chhutkara ko yeh sab paayenge
Nadi mein nahana, pedon ka khaana
Apne zameer ko vapis khoj laayenge

Kuch kare bina bhi , jeete bina bhi
Tum saans lete ho , tum achche ho
Insaanon mein bhed karne wale
Yeh kaise seh sakte ho

Cheenti boli dekho humko
Ham sab khush baraabar hain
Na koi bada aur na koi chhota
Na aur kisiko manaana hai

Yeh kaisa khel yeh kaisa circus
Bhed boli sab kitne dukhi hain
Sabse pehle lagao inko sui
Yeh behosh hi behtar hain

Lil Humans

Mohammad One look into his face and the only word that pops into your mind is drugs. One wouldn’t linger for long on his face with its completely blanked out expression. Except for his open eyes he seems fast asleep. I think in my mind whether the effect of the drug on his brain can be reversed at all and strongly doubt it. I move on to the other children who seem more present. I must say in fact that I don’t even clearly remember the times I met him. He never uttered a word. He had run away as a small child from his home and the streets have been his home since. He made a living out of rag picking When I visited the deaddiction centre later where he was admitted, I was quite struck by this same young man who had a smile on his face which one couldn’t take their eyes off. The glint in his eyes stupefied me. It was like a dead body had come to life. And to top it all he was talking nineteen to a dozen.  He was overflowing with joy. After some months at the centre he beca...

Waiting

An inevitable part of our lives. Waiting. Personally I dread any sort of long queues. There are very few things I would stand in line for(I am still trying to figure out which those few are!). I am sure my dislike has something to do with being the 10th of a long line of offspring! But there's usually a lot more periods of waiting in our lives apart from these. Waiting to get married. Waiting to get a job. Waiting to have a baby. Waiting for a healing. Waiting for direction from God. Waiting to meet your children. The list is unending. As someone once said patience isn't about how long you wait but your attitude while you wait. One scripture that I love is when Jesus said, 'Dont worry about tomorrow for tomorrow will worry about itself'. (Mt 7:34a) In my walk with the Lord i've grown to treasure my Todays. What always has and always will matter is- Today. When my today is joyful my life becomes joyful. When my present is exciting so is my life. So essentiall...

Australia

So I landed in Australia on February 6 in the year 2015. It was summertime and I reached in the evening so the air was very pleasant and breezy. To my very pleasant surprise I was out of the airport within half an hour of landing. I had the sniffer dogs approval:) As I stepped out I saw a person who looked like my spouse gazing in my direction with a huge grin. Heck, this guy looked like he was a fresh army recruit, lean, tanned and with a crew cut!!(read high salon prices) With my ardent love for the defence forces I had no complaints and ran into his arms! A good friend had offered their car and so we drove home about an hour away. As I looked around me it didn't look too different from an Indian highway except for the high speed and variety of cars. Id had a good nod on the flight so wasn't too tired either. We reached our apartment and slowly loaded our stuff into the lift and reached our landing. It looked just like a hotel with the long, quiet carpeted corridors....
