The Sound of Ankush

She called my name thrice,  I could hear it the first time I sensed a trembling in her voice All she said was, that she is fine It came crushing down my spine How could things get ruined, by just one line? Maybe she prayed to all the sins, that I had in my closet I prayed to what I had left in my wallet The coin of despair, I never call on heads. Tails, is what it always shows, there’s more than what’s left A broken heart, is not what you should get, she poured Your name is like blood on a sword,  The keys to my house, I left them at your door, Our bodies could part, but what about the soul? What about it? she said I lost my self somewhere in your head. She called my name again This time, I could only see the pain. Where were you all this while, Your coin of despair, I’ll buy it, if you smile. I can’t smile, No more,  The keys to my house I left them at your door -Ankush Gupta

khudse ki gayi kuch baatein. whenever there is a hint of helplessness i talk to myself. for there is judgment in thou eyes.

what makes you feel nostalgic? somebodies touch? the smell of the rain on dry soil; petrichor? childhood? the next time you feel nostalgic or nostalgia visits you, with a wave of regret, and longing, promise yourselves to make the best out of every moment. So when it does come, it leaves all the regrets outside the door.

So, This one is meant for each one of you. It's special because its unscripted. Which is also the main reason that this episode could happen. I have been trying to record a episode for the longest time. But yes this is it. It was spontaneous, no script, no edits (obviously audio edits) Send me pyaar bhari gaaliyan on Instagram @ankush_fx

Hello people of good heart! This is a special one, because these are my words. I know, sometime I love reciting poetry from well respected writers and shayars. But in this one, I gathered all the courage and confidence to put out something that I have written. Do not hesitate to tell me how you liked it. I am pretty easy to find on Instagram. Incase you don't know @ankush_fx is my instagram handle. Happy Listening!

This one is close to my heart.  The moment we seek perfection, we lose emotion in that process. This recording happened, one take and only one. You might find incorrect pronunciations. But there's something about it that's perfect too.  Yu Hi Be-sabab Na Phira Karo - Bashir Badr Narration - Ankush Gupta Tell me how did you find it on Instagram @ankush_fx

Kis tarah chhor do tumhe jana, tum meri zindagi ki aadat ho. Kis liyen dekhti ho aaina, tum to khud se bhi khubsurat ho. No matter how many times I read this, or listen to it. It always feels new. The word of John Elia are immortal, they will always stay within me. Today is his 91st Birthday, and on this, I want to share this, a part of me.

This is one of my favourite pieces of writing. Well, I have an obsession with listening to good writing in my voice. I know Bachhan Sahab did it way better than I did. I tried, and I enjoyed recording this. If you by any chance find this to be amazing. Write me something on Instagram. You can also, be exclusively demanding! I would love to read out your poetry, and stories. Instagram, if you may @ankush_fx Kabhi kabhi mere dil main khayal aata hain Ki zindagi teri zulfon ki narm chhaon main guzarne pati to shadab ho bhi sakti thi. Yeh ranj-o-gham ki siyahi jo dil pe chhayi hain Teri nazar ki shuaon main kho bhi sakti thi. Magar yeh ho na saka aur ab ye aalam hain Ki tu nahin, tera gham teri justjoo bhi nahin. Guzar rahi hain kuchh iss tarah zindagi jaise, isse kisi ke sahare ki aarzoo bhi nahin. Na koi raah, na manzil, na roshni ka suraag Bhatak rahin hai andheron main zindagi meri. Inhi andheron main reh jaoonga kabhi kho kar Main janta hoon meri hum-nafas, magar yoonhi Kabhi kabhi mere dil main khayal aata hai.

Hello Listener, in this episode/audio file I have tried to describe what art means to me. Art has been a crucial part of my life, it has helped me become what I am today. I hope this audio file is something that you find relatable. 

Teri aankhon ke siwan duniya me rakha kya hai? I remember looking into her eyes and giving myself to her. Even today when I close my eyes, I can see your eyes in front of me looking into mine. This line in itself is a painting of her beautiful eyes.  For the unforgotten love. For the unconditional love, for the love of her eyes, and the parting.
