A poetry on shopping is my reflection after my recent outing for shopping with my family. Shopping never gets old and we never get enough of it. Sometimes, we shop for things which we already have, and yet want more of. Other times, it’s just a good sales person selling us their idea of a product that lures us into buying more.
I have seen a trend around me, where we try to give away a few of our prized possessions to the needy through the organizations which support them. It’s amazing to see people give away toys, clothes, music instruments, books etc. That makes us feel good and also, makes room for more shopping, isn’t it?
Do you think you are a part of the shopping cycle? Here is a poetry on shopping, शॉपिंग
खुशियां खरीदने निकलते हैं घर से
बड़ी बड़ी दुकानों से चुन कर लाते हैं
–
खुद के लिए बटोरते हैं कभी
तो कभी घरवालों के लिए ले आते हैं
–
बहुत मेहनत से कमाते हैं पैसा
मलाल भी होता है की यूँही लुटा आते हैं
–
करें भी तो क्या करें हम बेचारे
खरीदे हुए सामान इतनी जल्दी पुराने जो हो जाते हैं
–
डब्बे में भर पुराने कपड़े खिलोने किताबें
कभी ज़रूरतमंद संस्थाओं को दे आते हैं
–
और फिर, ‘मेरे पास कुछ नया नहीं है’ कह कर
खुशियां खरीदने हम घर से निकल जाते हैं
