Jokers on the road

Pune road is filled up with jokers on the road. They simply don't care about their lives or of the lives of others.

Take for example a joker, who is riding a motorcycle. Suddenly a call comes in. Now this joker will not stop driving. Instead what he will do is bring out his smartphone from pocket, put it between his shoulder and ear. Now in this awkward position he will keep on driving with his both hands on the handle. Everyday i see 5 such jokers on the rode in my 2 hour daily commute.

Then there are others who will be checking their email or sms while they are driving car on a busy road or crossing an intersection. Buddy what is that important that you cannot wait for few minutes and then park your car on roadside and check it.

This list can go on and on and i am sure this is not just a Pune phenomena.

एक दुपहरी

इस राख को इतना न कुरेदो कहीं चिंगारी दबी होगी
ना  खुरेचो मेरे जज्बातों को  सूखे से अश्क छलक जायेंगे।
ऐ शाम तेरे दीदार की तमन्ना तो है मगर जल्दी नहीं, 
थोड़ी देर तो ठहर अभी धूप ढली कहाँ है। 
दिल की हसरतें हैं  तो अनेक मगर इंतजाम नहीं
साकी थोड़ी सी पिला दे तो बीमार को आराम मिले।
