शहर -2


होगी  उसकी  कोई  मजबूरी
जो  रहता  है  यहाँ  पर,
मुसाफ़िर  हो  के  ही गुज़र जाना
बनाना यहाँ कभी अपना घर,
बेदर्द, बेमुरव्वत ही नहीं बस
बड़ा बदमिजाज़ भी है ये शहर..

This post is dedicated to Archana Kapoor who has had a harrowing experience with this town recently.

    2. Well you there when we felt totally helpless... and for that we are all very grateful... :-)
      After a few days, even we learnt the tricks of the trade in Meerut... though it was late to learn and we learnt the hard way, but nevertheless it worked... and later Desh came over too... so that was the best... :-)

  6. Reminded me of Sudarshan Fakir's 'Kaisi Chali Hai Abke Hawa... '

    Shayad unhe pata tha, ke 'Fakir' hai ajnabi.
    Logo ne usko loot liya, tere shahar me!

    It was awesome, Amitji!
