हमें तो अपना नाम कुछ पन्नो पर छोड़ जाने की इच्छा है!

कहानिया और क़िस्से तो बहोत सुने,

पर अब ख़ुद के बनाने की इच्छा है,

दूसरे कवियों के शब्दों के साथ तो मैं बहोत उड़ी,

पर अब औरों को उड़ाने की इच्छा है,

वक़्त के साथ खिलवाड़ तो बहोत किया,

पर अब उसको सर-आँखो पर बिठाने की इच्छा है,

हम करेंगे, हम करेंगे, हम करेंगे,

ये कहते-कहते समय बहोत बीत गया,

पर अब अपने वजूद को तराज़ू में ना नाप पाय,

ऐसा बनाने की इच्छा है,

लोग आते है,

लोग जाते है,

पर हमें तो अपना नाम इतिहास के कुछ पन्नो पर छोड़ जाने की इच्छा है,

जैसे रबिंदरनाथ ने सुंदरसुंदर शब्दों को पिरो वाक्य बनाए थे

वैसे ही हमें भी शब्दों के महकते हार बनाने की इच्छा है,

हमें तो अपना नाम इतिहास के कुछ पन्नो पर छोड़ जाने की इच्छा है!

MY FIRST BOOK

Journeys Beyond and Within...

IS HERE!

In my vivid narrative style (that readers love, ahem), I have told my most incredible adventures, including a nine-month solo trip to South America. In the candid book, the scoldings I got from home for not settling down and the fears and obstacles I faced, along with my career experiments, are laid bare. Witty and introspective, the memoir will make you laugh and inspire you to travel, rediscover home, and leap over the boundaries.

Sikkim Express: "Simple, free-flowing, but immensely evocative."

The Telegraph Online: "An introspective as well as an adventurous read."

The memoir is available globally. Search for the title on your country's Amazon.
