cactus flowers आरम्भ

  यह अंत का आरम्भ है! समय के नित-निरंतर घूमते, अभिशप्त चक्र का एक नया प्रारम्भ है! कोहरे को भेद सरपट दौड़ती काली सड़क ने ली है चुनौती धप्प, श्वेत धुंध की, कहती, “भय तो है बस नाममात्र का एक विचार, मन का है बस एक विकार! धुएं के पीछे की वो काल्पनिक आग है, रूंधते गले से गाया बेसुरा सा राग है! मन में उठती कुछ सुनी सी आवाज़ है तार जिसके ज़ोर से हैं खिंच गए वह बिगड़ा हुआ सा साज़ है!” पर, उँगलियों से बस छूकर देखो तो एकबार मखमल सा स्पर्श, अवांछित संघर्ष है! क्यों इस भय के हाथों की कठपुतलियां बनकर, हम फंसे हैं समय के इस नित निरंतर चक्र में? सीधी सड़क को नापते क्यों वक्र में? काली सड़क ने ली चुनौती घने श्वेत धुंध की अब न डरना हैं मुझे, अब भी गाना हैं मुझे क्या हुआ जो आवाज़ मेरी अब भी हैं…

Late Daya Shanker Mishra, my father

I lost my smile with him, but found him in my daughters’ grin. I lost my music with him, but found him in forlorn songs. I lost my gist of life with him, but found him in poetry. I lost my love with him, but found him in melancholy. I mourn him every moment, but every glimpse of Santa Claus reminds me of that fateful day.

facial fat transfer

अभिसार

This Hindi poem is one of those very few romantic poems I’ve written so far. It portrays the Elysian romance between the bewildered winter Night and the juvenile Dawn. The night is coy and frigid. So, the Dawn woos her with his impish charms. In spite of their perpetual love, this unison is transient, as the rendezvous (अभिसार) vanishes away as soon as the sun arrives. कस्तूरी मृग सी खिंचती वो, चली जिधर वह खड़ा स्वतः, उस काल-रात्रि के बाद आयी वह भरमाती, अप्रतिम सुबह! अंधियारे सारे छंट से गए ज्यों चाँद ने हर लिए सभी प्रहर, परवाह न थी कोई मन में चाहे अब टूटे कोई कहर ! वह दृढ शाख सा था उन्नत वो सकुचाती सी लता हुई, जब देखा उसकी आँखों में जाने कैसे बेपता हुई ! ठिठुरे कुछ स्वप्न थे कोहरे में कुछ छुप से गए बादल की ओट, विस्मित थे  उनके प्रणय भाव अधखुले नैन, निःशब्द…

vlcc dna diabetes

Diabetes— it’s not only a disease, but a chronic disorder, that affects a person’s whole being. Right from their eating habits to their way of living, each and every aspect of one’s life is disturbed with diabetes. It’s a proven fact that this disease is incurable, but it’s definitely controllable. Controllable! Is it so? Indeed not, as they claim it to be! Most of the healthcare institutions, speciality hospitals, wellness centers or specialist doctors fail to keep it in control when you actually suffer from the disease and run door to door for control or cure. If you too are suffering from diabetes, don’t get scared or agitated rather blame it to your DNA. Yes! Your DNA— Deoxyribo Nucleic Acid, the cell that makes you unique on this planet. This results in your body reacting differently than others despite living in the same atmosphere and habitat. Your DNA is the…

Be it, our tiffins during school days to lunch boxes at office, we have been brought up in a manner that sharing gives us immense joy and happiness.  But like every other thing in this world which comes with some strings attached, sharing should also be restricted to the things that provide us pleasure instead of panic!

Mitchell U.S.A. skincare products range

“The afternoon knows what the morning never suspected”— Robert Frost! Aging is just a state of mind, as it is said, that the beauty of a woman only grows with time. Wrinkles and grey hair add wisdom to her, thereby enhancing her beauty. Still, wrinkles irritate, especially when they start appearing on the flawless complexion of a middle-aged woman. Robert Frost was so right— a woman was never scared of her wrinkles until they occur. The same happened with me too when I witnessed the first sign of aging on my skin when I entered into my 40s. Though, I hardly care about my looks, the decay in complexion distressed me a lot. I still remember how discreetly I wandered through cosmetic counters in search of a suitable anti-aging skincare range to combat my skin problems. Those were the days we were hardly given options for anti-aging beauty products in…
