Postcards - Rishi Mohan

I have at least 10 postcards on my desk. I got these from different parts of Europe, from wherever I travelled. All empty, ready to be written

I know the address. Once when I was in Mallorca some months back, I was buying the postcards and the lady at the counter asked which country I want to send those postcards to. She asked to also give me country specific stamps so I can post the postcars to that country. Guess which country slipped out of my mouth?

I know what to write. I know the words because they linger in my mind, late at night. I know the address, the country, the city, the block, the door number, person’s name

But I won’t send it :)

These postcards sit on my desk, they remind me of why some things are better left unsaid

 hone the jitne khel, muqqadar ke ho gye
 hum tuti naav leke, samundar ke ho gye
