My registered name is Neeraj Kumar but there are 10-15 people out of 1000 Indians who possess this name. It is such a common name. And I am not a common person.

Some pieces of memories Clothes hanging on hooks Claypot placed in a corner And strokes of luck ... Just passed the childhood But looks fifty-five, Broken body and mind And the clangor of pots...

Sometimes When the darkness of mind Envelopes me with black, I come to my balcony. May a beam Come spontaneously From somewhere To enlighten me, I keep on waiting. Trap of Life Can be broken Only by an Arjun, I search for him in Abhimanyu.
