some lines describing the importance of MT in my life:
sham hote hi bistar se uath kar chappal pehen na,
dibbe ko band karke baju waloon ko bulana,
josh mein aakar jeans pehen na,
jeb mein purse daal ke baju waloon ke sath nikalna.
doobta suraz pet mein hakchal machta tha,
moo mein pani MT par le atta tha.
nali ke kinare bassa haua ilaka kuch jana pechana sa lagta tha,
paan ki dukan, cigret ka dhaua, mandir ki chamak dhek maan khus ho jata tha.
dukan par paunchte hi farmish karna …
haanth mein guzia aur chai leya ek koona dhoondna.
samosa chatni aur matar ke sath milkar halchal machat tha,
dostoon ka sath, uss swad se mehfil rangeen banata tha.
aaj vohi swad mujhe uss coone ki yaad dila reha hai
angeethi ka aanch maan ko garmi paucha reha hai,
beete lamhoon ki goonj chere pe muskaan laa rahi hain,
aaj phir koi awaz mujhe wapas bulla rahi hain.
