मेरे नए साथियों ने भरोसा दिया था कि मैं अब नहीं मजबूर हूं
मुझे लगता था कि दुनिया में मैं अब हर मुश्किलों से दूर हूं
मैं उनका हूं उनके करीब हूं यही होता रहा मुझे एहसास
आज भी हैं वे अपने घरों में आती है गरजने की आवाज
पर देखता हूं आज कितना निरीह हूं मैं अकेला निष्प्राण
दिलासा देते रहें दोस्त और कातिल करते रहे काम तमाम
मैं उनके शब्दों की मशाल अनायास हर तरफ जलाता रहा
और दुश्मन आकर अपना खुद का झंडा फहराता रहा
मान भी गया अपमान भी हुआ मेरा सर्वस्व समाप्त हुआ
खुश हूं तो बस इसलिए कि बाकी है अब भी दोस्तों की दुआ
काश मैं काबिल होता मेरी ताकत खुद की ऐसी होती
तो मान सम्मान के लिए दुश्मन से जंग उसके घर में होती…
🔪🔪🔫🔫🔪🔪🔫🔫🔪🔪
My new comrades assured that I was no longer helpless
I started thinking that I was away from all the troubles in the world
I was theirs, I was close to them, that was my impression
Even today they are in their homes, roaring in my support
But I see how helpless I am today, alone and lifeless
My friends keep comforting and
the murderer goes on killing spree
I lit unnecessarily the torch of their words everywhere
And the enemy came and raised their own flags
Swallowed my pride, took the insult and lost everything
The only comfort is that I still enjoy the blessings of friends
I wish I was capable, my strength was enough
To fight the battle for my honor inside the enemy’s house…

You have my admiration, Kaushal, for highlighting the terrible situation in Ukraine and the moral dilemma of the rest of the world on what to do for the best. Giving Ukraine help by sending in
troops would escalate into World War III, the sanctions need time to work but nothing will stop Putin as nothing stopped Hitler, and so we live uncertain of the future.
Of course, all this will affect even India.
I find distraction in writing and reading your posts, Thank you.

Thank you, Joanna for your admiration. I agree, like other countries, India too will be affected. The geopolitical ramifications of this war are immense, difficult to envisage at the moment. If a mad person is not tamed fearing escalation of WW, that same man has the capacity to turn into a monster. Let’s see how the things move in next few days. Thanks!
