Baarish

Jab kiya nahin thha homework ko poora
Jis din kiye na thhe jootey polish
Raincoat jab bhooli pehli baar-
Kaash uss roz yeh baarish hoti

Canteen se jab khaaye thhe pakode
Mirchi se, si-si ki thhi
Rajpur road pe nikle thhe paidal
Kaash uss roz yeh baarish hoti

Flyover pe bike thhi puncture
haath mein sau kitaabein thhi
Ghar jab pahunchna thha jaldi-
Kaash uss roz yeh baarish hoti


Aaj email se dekha, jo sar uttha kar
Garaj rahe thhe baadal baahar
Dhyan khidki se baahar ja bhaaga
Kaash sirf Sunday ko hi baarish hoti

This poem, though nice, belongs on your other workaholic waala blog.
Mausam ko toh apni taraah workaholic mat banaao. Agar ye aisa nahin hota, toh lambe din aur lamba work-week aur bhi lambe lagte.

This blog is supposed to be your happy place!!! :)
