Kavita was astonished to see how the generations old bell-bottoms still complimented Ashok. To her surprise, Ashok had brought her the very same orange outfit which she wore 25 years back.

The celebrations were ending; my sister's wedding, with tears of sorrow and happiness. He was there too, silently watching me cry. At the end of it, he came to me and asked "Which color you want your wedding outfit to be in?" I asked "why?" And we got the reason for another round of celebrations.

Different people. Different ideas. Different views.
Same love.
Never met each other, but they all came together. To share the passion. To inspire. To be inspired. They came together,
To celebrate their love.

दो सील तोड़ उसने बोतल खोली. . .
ख़ुशी का मौका हो या ग़म कि बेला, दोनों मौकों पर वो जश्न मनाता था, वो भी पूरी शिद्दत से ।
और आज उसके तीसरे पे, हम बोतल खोले उसकी फोटू के साथ बैठे थे, वैसे ही, पूरी शिद्दत से. . .

दो मुल्कों की लड़ाई में,
सरहद के उस पार आँसू, खून की नदियाँ,
और इस तरफ़ जश्न का समा.

हाँ , उसी महोल्ले कि गली मे हसती खेलती, सबके साथ, हर दिन, हर पल, उसी मुस्कान को पहने हुए एक आभूषण कि तरह , बस तभी उतरती, जब कोई देख नहीं रहा होता.. कमरे में लगे बिस्तर पे पड़े तकिये पर बेह रहे आंसुओ के साथ वो मुस्कान भी उतर जाती हे।
