Pockets of Stillness

जिंदगी दौड़ रही

बेरोक बेलगाम सी 

कभी कभी इसमें 

विश्राम होना चाहिए
जिंदगी कटी यहाँ 

वहां घूम घूम के
अब तो कोई 

पड़ाव होना चाहिए
बदला ना खुद को कभी 

अपनी ही जिद में जिए
अब तो व्यवहार में 

बदलाव  होना चाहिए  

बचपन में खेले खूब  

जवानी में भटक लिए
बुढ़ापे में थोड़ा  

ठहराव होना चाहिए

~Indira

 

It is so much more rewarding to understand than to feel right, even if that means changing your mind about a subject, an ideology, a person and even yourself. — Maria Popova
