  कपड़ों की हँसी  जिन कपड़ों को मैं, रोज़ पीट-पीट के धोती थी वही कपड़ें साल भर से, अलमारी में तेह पड़े अब मुझपे हँसते हैं                                                                   - प्रीति सिंह 

MY LIFE LINES Go ahead change the nameplate outside the furniture, all the curtains or the people who will now reside and call this "their" home a privilege,  that I loan a privilege,  that is only mine to give for no matter who will live here,  in this home a place where I've grown a place that will always house all of my first memories crisp,  even if now wafer thin and carved, somewhere therein on a moulded doorframe they do seem all the same  I know but look closely for next to a solid teak door it's creak hard to ignore are some fine lines throbbing in the womb of time that I leave behind my stamp my imprints my beautiful height markings each more precious as I grew though they may seem nothing to you will always live on here in my cherished first abode that no nameplate no resident or coat of paint  can ever erode so,  go ahead!                             - Priti Singh
