Random 67: Anthropomorphism

The moon is friend for the lonesome to talk toCarl Sandburg

*****

मुलाकात का समय बीत गया। 

मसरूफ़ियत इतनी बढ़ी की ध्यान ही नहीं रहा। 

फिर न जाने क्या हुआ मैं चाय का कप लिए खिड़की तक आयी। 

सामने देखा तो वो मुस्कुराता दिखा। कुछ कहा नही बस मुस्कुराता रहा। 

मानो पहाड़ों की मखमली बर्फ से बस अभी उठा हो जाने के लिए।

चाहा की रोक लूँ उसे आज।  बस आज के लिए। 

मैं देखती रही उसे चाय का कप लिए। 

वो देखता रहा रुक रुक कर। 

पर वक्त कब किसका हुआ है। 

बस दो पल का साथ हमारा। 

फिर न जाने कब मुलाकात हो।

I am not translating the hindi verse beacuse I believe that there is a significant variation in how emotions are expressed across cultures. Carl Sandburg made my point.

Me capturing a full moon is kind of a rarest event. We have clear skies except on full moon nights or afternoons. The reason is beyond my knowledge 😊. This image was captured yesterday at 4:58 pm and just after I took a couple of shots the moon was back in a thick veil of cloud.

My first entry to Becky’s SquareUp challenge.

Travel Challenge – Day 8

I was nominated by our fellow blogger Derrick Knight to post one favourite travel picture a day for ten days without explanation, then to nominate someone else to participate. That’s 10 days, 10 travel pictures and 10 nominations. Instead of nominating one person I would like to invite everyone of you to participate.

Be kind and post at least one of your favourite travel photo. Please link to me so I know you have participated. If you are not interested, no problem.

Nowhere in the rules does it say you can’t guess where the photo was taken.

Stay safe, stay healthy and be kind.
