धीमे से
बिन दस्तक
तुम्हारी खिड़कियों
दरवाज़ों की बेजोड़
नाकाबंदी  पर
बेलगाम
बेहिचक
आक्रमण कर
दहलीज़ों की छिद्रों से

बिन आहट

मेरे इशारों पर
जीना होगा
वह सीधे नाक पर

तुम्हारी जीवनशैली

“What I want done, ain't a job of one. I need many me.”
Scottshak

“Baby," I said, "I'm a genius but nobody knows it but me.”
Charles Bukowski, Factotum

“So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.”
F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

“I hope she'll be a fool -- that's the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool.”
F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

“And I like large parties. They’re so intimate. At small parties there isn’t any privacy.”
F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

“He smiled understandingly-much more than understandingly. It was one of those rare smiles with a quality of eternal reassurance in it, that you may come across four or five times in life. It faced--or seemed to face--the whole eternal world for an instant, and then concentrated on you with an irresistible prejudice in your favor. It understood you just as far as you wanted to be understood, believed in you as you would like to believe in yourself, and assured you that it had precisely the impression of you that, at your best, you hoped to convey.”
F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby
