Woh 3 din

Woh 3 din kabhi kabhi yaad aaate hain

jinke bare mein hum sochke rote hain aur muskurate hain

Woh Rekha ki story

Woh tribal dance ki glory


Woh conflict ka discussion

Woh values, ethics and morals ka confusion

Woh sameer ka unlimited gaana

Woh hamara gaon mein jaana



Woh ram ka kehna " lagta hai ek saal ho gaye"

Woh din kahan kho gaye


Woh dahi aur watermelon ka juice milake peena

Woh matke se paani nikalke peena

Woh saath me khana banana

Woh aadhi balti se nahana

Woh ek kadam daye haath ek kadam baaye haath

Woh GVNML laporiya mein aadhi raat


Woh gaon mein gobar potna

Woh eto ko kandhon pe dhona

Woh ek geet tere naam ka hai shava

Woh duniya badalne ka daava


Woh apne bartan dhona

Woh GVNML ki chat pe sona

Woh Amogh ke birthday pe gift banana

Woh subah subah chai peena aur poha khana


Woh development ka session kaise bhula sakta hun main

aaj bhi us camp ke heart to heart ko padta hun main


Woh 3 din aaj bhi yaad aate hain

jinke baare main sochkar hum rote hain aur mukurate hain

Far away

I can see her waiting anxiously
Staring at her watch cautiously
Her eyes searching for him
She looks nervously as the natural lights gets dim

Her fingers tearing the cover of her cell phone
Her ears waiting for her favorite ringtone
She is uncomfortably standing alone
So she continues to play with her phone

And then he appears
Her anxiety disappears
And as comes near
She is almost in tears

There is that illuminating glitter in her eyes
Standing a meter away I can feel her sighs

And then she jumps in the air and hugs him as if he is the only thing she can hang on to
And he dares to push her back because he doesn’t want to


She cant believe it
No one can relieve it

Something’s are not meant the way you want it to be
Irrespective of whether you agree or disagree
I was that girl someday
And she was that boy someway
But now ……
We are away

Far Away …..

Hunkars

I have learnt so much from them. Its inspiring to see them. They have managed to create their own learning journeys and I have seen them pushing their boundaries every minute, every hour, every day....

They made me realise as a facilitator the only thing they need is a space to take ownership and responsibility and every thins else falls in place :)

And the mutual respect and admiration they have for one another is commendable. They explore, learn and contribute

and the only thing they need is a patient listening ear.

Thanks Hunkars for reiterating my faith in the process.

Understanding Self

The journey of finding myself has been an interesting one. It seems now that the process was to cut a part of me everyday so that I can understand what is beneath the image that I possess.

The process was full of surprises and discomfort. I could see many layers and each layer having a different facet of me. What I didn't know was that there will be a price that I will have to pay. I had to cut a part of me to explore a part of me in order to self explore.

" I see pieces of me falling"

The learning has been dont explore too much into your self at once. Take it step by step and also take breaks in between :) I dont have ant complains .... because I have found very special things about myself...... My family and friends arent really dependent on me...... But this might hold true in your case ... so just take it step by step..... Take the decision ..... but an informed decision

Personally I made the right decision. but again there is a dilemma

Is it my belief ???

Or is my ego ???

Only time will tell

Those three days

Those three days ..... I still cant forget it ....What made it work .... The participants ? The facilitators ? or the place. I still can hear the echoes ??? ek geet tere naam ka .....??? I could feel i was alive those three days. I still want to feel it ..... But I dont think that will happen .... Was it just an illusion .....? If it was then even my existence is ......? If it wasnt........ What should i do now ? I cant forget those three days..... I cant let do ... I dont want to

Thousand Kms before I die

I want to cover thousand Kms before I die
Maybe that will relieve me of my tears and cry

I want to spend a night in the forest
Before I put my heart and soul to rest

I want to kiss the rain by extending myself through the window of the train
Maybe that will make me realize about the efforts that went in vain

I want to jump from a mountain
Maybe that will make me realize " What did I lose and what did I gain : "

I want to drown in Narmada
Maybe that will make me escape from my apprehensions and my shiver

I want to twist and turn
Before I crash and burn

I want to run and fly
Before I collide and die

Maybe ????

Maybe ????
