Mausam

Fir wahi mausam aaya hai chaukhat par,
Baarish kabhi patjhad meri chaukhat par.

Kal hi to tha ki tumhe chhod aaye the hum,
Ab nazar aati ho tum mujhe har karvat par.

Kachchi-pakki neend tire khwaab me doobi,
Aur dil machalta hai mera halki si aahat par.

Aaina hasta hai mire chehre ki lakeero pe,
Meri Muntziri ke nishaan hai salvat par.

Ghazal ruk jayegi

Baat fir zubaan pe aake ruk jayegi,
Machli si nabz tujhe dekh ke ruk jayegi.

Parda hata to yeh shaam ruk jayegi,
Jo zulf udegi to fir bayar ruk jayegi.

Kya ilaaz hai batao chake-dil ka yaaron,
Chal ke aayegi woh ya abhi ruk jayegi.

Umeed hai ki sawan lautega bahut jald,
Aane se unke yeh patjhadi ruk jayegi.

Dard aur hai auro ke muhabbat ke siva,
Meri aahein fir meri palako pe ruk jayegi.

Ho gaya deedar hume saiyyar bazm ka,
Aur yeh ghazal bhi ab yahin ruk jayegi.

When people hate you.

B: So today was a lot of fun. Right after the freshers we went for a treat with the juniors involved in the Choreo and had a game of truth and dare.
Me: Hmm.
B: By the way did you have an episode with this girl S?
Me: Episode? Naah I know her because I had talked to her when she contested in the elections. Why?
B: She got the truth part and was asked who she hated the most and she named you.
Me: He he he. Sounds interesting.

This got me thinking. I am starting my sixth year at IIT Kanpur and am overstaying due to academic reasons.  In the past five years, how many people have I pissed off? And I am typing a random list now as I am going over it

My first roommate is surely one I guess because he ran away within the first month of our first year More recently I guess a lot of ex/current members of the NERD team.  One of the two contestants for the post of Cultural Secretary during my time’s General Elections in the Institute or at least his associates. My ex-thesis guide. A whole lot of Hall 3 guys (I belong to Hall 2). A whole lot of Hall 2 guys. A whole lot of Hall 5 guys. The lady HR manager at Accenture. The Office Incharge at SPO. A whole lot of Post Graduates. A few alumni. Parents, certainly.

Long long list as this is just the tip of the tip of the iceberg. And do I care? For a few people yes. Parents certainly. Some friends/ex-friends (2 or 3). Other than that? Go and boil your head guys

So long (that it goes from bottom to top),
