बस मैं इतना चाहता हूँ

कड़कड़ाती सर्दी में, जब
सुबह की धुप निकले 
अपने बरामदे में,खुर्सी पर
बैठं एक पुरानी किताब के मुड़े पंनोंको सीधा करू 
बस मैं इतना चाहता हूँ ||१ ||

बर्फ की सफ़ेद चादर, जब 
पहाड़ो पे लिपटी हो
सर्द हवा कापते बदन को सहलाये
मैं अपने माज़ी के साथ, कुछ पल बिताऊं 
बस मैं इतना चाहता हूँ || २ || 

बारिश की बूंदे जब 
पेड़ो के सरसराते पतों को छूकर 
मिटटी की बाहो में जा सिमटे 
उस  मिटटी में अपने बच्चों के साथ खेलु 
बस मैं इतना चाहता  हूँ  || ३ ||

सागर में उठती लहरे, जब 
किनारे को छूती हो 
गीली रेत पर अपने साथी का हाथ थामे
कुछ दूर मैं चलू
बस मैं इतना चाहता हूँ  || ४ ||

जब वक़्त, उम्र का हिसाब 
मेरे चेहरे पर झुर्रियों से लिख रहा हो
ज़िन्दगी को मुस्कुरातें हुए 
अपने कब्र पर मैं देखु 
बस मैं इतना चाहता हूँ  
बस मैं इतना चाहता हूँ  || ५ ||

Chadar Trek...A walk to remember

The cool breeze was brushing across my face. The river made its serpentine pass through the gorge. Most of the river was frozen to form a white sheet of ice above it and the part that wasn’t, was flowing ferociously between the mountains. The first rays of the sun were caressing the majestic mountain swathed in snow. The turquoise tents laid across the mountain base sparkled like a jade necklace. The smoke from the burning wood on which our morning tea was being prepared, added the earthy flavor to this pristine landscape. The cool breeze, the flowing river, the fluttering of tents formed a beautiful symphony orchestrated by Nature.  As said by George Santayana – ‘The earth has its music for those who will listen’; and here I was completely drenched in this music. It couldn’t have been more picturesque than this. Mind was still, heart overwhelmed; it was oneness of body and soul. This was the view from my tent at Nerak on the fourth day of my Chadar trek. A trek that got it...

Exploring Harishchandra gad

I have been trekking the Sahyadris for a while now. The one trek on my trek-to-do list was Harishchandra gad. It was a dream trek for me. For a long time, I was planning for this trek but due to some or the other reason was never able to make it. Opportunity came knocking in when one of my friends invited me for this trek that was being organized by the trek group (Trekshitiz) he is part of and I immediately said yes. Harishchandra gad was going to be my first night trek. You need 2 days to trek this fort. It is a fort in the Ahmednagar region and its origin traces back to the 6 th century. The caves on the top of the hill are believed to be carved in the 11 century. We started our journey from Dombivli via bus organized by Trekshitiz on a Friday at 11.30 pm and reached the village Khireshwar via khubi phata around 2.30 at night. Khubi phata is a junction just after the end of malshej ghat. From khireshwar we walked to the base of the hill. We started the ascend wit...
