On abandoned cars accumulating huge parking fines

By its policy, AT has to leave the vehicle 31 days before towing it. The 31-day period expires today but AT now has seven days to find the owner.

If AT does end up towing the car, ratepayers will be left to foot the bill of the $95 tow fee and $20 per day storage costs.

Parked car racks up thousands in fines

And death shall have no dominion

And death shall have no dominion.

Dead man naked they shall be one

With the man in the wind and the west moon; 

When their bones are picked clean and the clean bones gone,

They shall have stars at elbow and foot;

Though they go mad they shall be sane,

Though they sink through the sea they shall rise again; 

Though lovers be lost love shall not;

And death shall have no dominion.

On friends and nostalgia

​चौराहे पर चाय वाले ने हाथ में गिलास थमाते हुए पूछा……

“चाय के साथ क्या लोगे साहब”?

ज़ुबाँ पे लव्ज़ आते आते रह गए

“पुराने यार मिलेंगे क्या”???

जिम्मेदारियां मजबूर कर देती हैं अपना शहर छोड़ने को,

वरना कौन अपनी गली मे जीना नहीं चाहता…..

हसरतें आज भी खत लिखती हैं मुझे, 

पर मैं अब पुराने पते पर नहीं रहता ..
