Kabhi aao tum samudra tut pe




kabhi aao tum samudar tut pe,
    rakhon pao rait ke thul pe ,
    jub rok na paoge raiton ko pairo tale ,
    tab samjhoge tabdili hi jeevan ka astitva hain ,
    tab samjhoge asthai jagat ka har rang hain.
   
kabhi aao tum samudar tut pe,
     sparsh karo raiton ki halchal,
     agar tol sako to tol lena har us rait ko jisko samundar ne tumse cheena,
     agar tol sako to tol lena har uss lehar ko bhi,  jiski varsha samundar ne  tumpe ki ,
     tab samjhoge ki niyati jitni sukh tumse cheenti hain usse kai jyada khushiyon ki warsha tumpe karti hain ,
     tab samjhoge ki tumhare pairo tale ki rait tumhari nahi waqt ki gulaam hain.

kabhi aao tum samudar tut pe,
    zara suno  lehro ki boli,
    jub shant na karwa paoge lehron ke goonj ko,
    tab pehchanoge apne shamata ke dayere ko.
 
kabhi aao tum samudar tut pe,
    zara bheeo lehro ke bhav se,
    tab samjhoge ki lehro ki gati humare vash ke bahar hain pur hur leher se hum kinta prahav hote hain yeh humare vash mein hain .

kabhi aao tum samudar tut pe,  
    zara dekho uss vishal vyaktitva ko ,
    jub aankhon se uski  seemao ko na naap paoge,
    tab apne mun ki udarta ko pehchanoge.

Kabhi aao tum samudar tut pe...

Tum yaad aati ho

This one is rakhi special :) Dedicated to my Dearest akku .



Aaj rakhi ki subah,

Maine haar nahi maani






Nahi maine haar nahi maani ,
maana tujhe ek jhuka hua mastak dikh raha hai ,
lekin tujhe us jhuke hue mastak mein mera shaurya nahi dikh raha !


Nahi maine haar nahi maani,
maana tujhe mera behta hua lahu dikh raha hai ,
lekin tujhe us behte hue lahu mein mera tej nahi dikh raha !


Nahi maine haar nahi maani,
maana tera chehra harshit aur mera chinteet dikh raha hai ,
lekin tujhe iss chinteet chehre ke piche urjaa se bhari meri ruh nahi dikh rahee !


Nahi maine haar nahi maani,
maana tere hath mein talwar hai aur mein Nishastra hun,
lekin mere soch ke pankh ki shakti se agyat hai tu !


Nahi meine haar nahi maani,
maana tuh andhero ka shehanshah hai aur mein ek bhatakta hua raahi,
lekin apne sapno ke prakash se mein apna raasta khud bana sakta hu ,
is baat se anjaan hai tu !



Nahi maine haar nahi maani !

Kal ki sachai









Ek sapna hi to hai, 
  jo haqeeqat ke andhere mein roshni ki kiran dikhata hain, 


Ek sapna hi to hai, 
   jo kaid hue ruh ko azaadi ke pankh dilata hain,


Ek sapna hi to hai,
   jo behte hue askon mein khushiyon ki chamak bikherta hain,


Ek sapna hi to hai,       
  jo  khaulte hue lahu ko him ki sheetalta deta hain,


Ek sapna hi to hai,
   jo insaan ko waqt ke daud mein pratham laata hain.


Fir kyun insaan sapno se dur bhagta hain? 


Fir kyun insaan sapno ko haqeeqat ke zanziron mein kaid kar deta hain? 


Fir kyun insaan sapno ki shaqti ko kamzori samajhta hain?


Fir kyun aane waale peedhi ko yeh samjhaya jaata hain ki sapne sach nahi hote?


Aakhir kyun insaan apne sapno ko dafnaye zamaane ke sachai pe  jeeta hain? 




kab jaanega insaan ki khushiyan khud ke sapno mein hoti hain naaki duusro ke haqeeqat mein !


Kab jaanega insaan ki sapne hi andheri raaston mein roshni bikherte hain !


Aakhir kab jaanega inssan ki aaj ke sapne hi kal ki sachai  hote hain ....  !

Khushiyon se guftagu




Na chand apne chandni se andheri raat ko saja raha tha, 
   na suraj sharma raha tha aasman se,  

bus sirf hum aur tum the, aur sath thi humari uljhi hui parchhaiyan. 

Na panchiya pyar ke nagme gaa rahee the, 
   na samudre kee lehre gungana rahi thee,

bus sirf hum aur tum the aur sath thi khamoshiya. 

na phul apni rang se jag ko rangeen kar rahe the,
 na titliya rangeen udaan bhar rahi thi, 

Bus sirf  hum aur tum the safed aur kale chadar ko odhe hue .  

Na paiso ka raub tha, 
     na suandarya ka ghamand,

Bus surf hum aur tum the aur humare beech the shikwe .


Kab tak rehte hum ese aamne saame , 
          sath hoke bhi meelo alag . 

Kab tak ek dusre ki aankhon mein hum dard ki parchai ke kajal ko niharte ....

kajal ko to behna hi tha,
  sholo ko to barasna hi tha,    
   sannata to dur hona hi tha, 
    hume alag to hona hi tha ... 

Chal diye hum ek dusre se alag kahi dur, 
   jahan hum dono ko shikwe na ho ,
   jahan hum dono ne sirf safed chadar odha hua ho ,
   jahan hum dono ki aankhon mein khushi ki chamak ho, 
   jahan hum dono ko hi chidiyon ke meethe nagame sunai de, 
   jahan hum dono ko doobte suraj ke lalima  mein khuda dikhe,
   jahan hum dono ko chand kee sheetal parchai mein thandak mile,.
   jahan phool rangeen ho aur titliyan rang baant rahi ho, 
jahan hum dono saath bhaleh hi na ho lekin humari rooh muskura rahi  ho,
jahan hum dono aamne saamne bhaleh hi na ho lekin humari manzil ek ho, 
jahan bhaleh hi hum ek dusre se na mile lekin khuda humari  khushiyon se guftagu karwa de ..

The Fountainhead - A must read





Ayn Rand takes you to a timeless world through the Fountain Head. Descriptive narration and apt choice of words makes the reader visualize the scene with specifics. The physical attributes of the characters are so clear to the reader that the one can actually imagine the characters. The writing is simple yet powerful.Though the book was written in 1943, it still can be easily related by today's intellect.

The plot revolves around the concept of belief -the belief of common man kind vs. that of powerful men. Men who are powerful not by virtue of wealth but by the possession of ideas. The novel hints towards a revolution much needed in our society. Ayn in a very transparent manner has written about the struggle of two men. One who is firm on his beliefs and refuses to compromise with anything under any circumstances. The other whose very existence is because of others, he lives life according to everyone and anyone’s wish. He has only one purpose in his life which is to gain respect in the eyes of others. It is through these two men that Ayn has succeeded in demonstrating the inertia faced by men with new ideas. Ideas to which mankind is not exposed to and hence are not accepted.

These two men are the central characters of the novel, however in the later part of the novel, equally strong characters are introduced. Amidst such crisis of beliefs and identity, Ayn has also managed to sprinkle a fine blend of love and friendship. Friendship between men of power who have nothing in common,but the zest to live life in their own terms. Love for which one sacrifices one’s soul as it is easier to live as a zombie than to live as a witness to the pain of ones loved ones.Just as each of the sub plots are over and the reader begins to be sure that the story has come to a dead end he is thrown surprised by the introduction of a new character who brings an interesting perceptive creating suspense in the novel.

The books leaves a feeling of satisfaction at the end, as love and belief both stand upright as clear winners. A must read for those who enjoy the combination of suspense with food for thought.
I leave you with a quotation from the book -


‎"I do not recognize anyone's right to one minute of my life.Nor to any part of my energy .Nor to any achievement of mine.No matter who makes the claim,how large their number or how great their need!" - The Fountainhead by Aryn Rand

My Ma- My Goddess




When I was one I could barely walk and
          you held my hand with patience and carried me around
Today I am 26 and I promise to hold your hand and help you walk that extra step.

When  I was one I could barely talk  and
          yet you understood me perfectly and we spoke for hours
Today I am 26 and I promise to speak to you and understand you forever

When I was one I use to embarrass you in all public places yet
           I was your pride
Today I am 26 and I promise you that you are and shall always be my pride.

When I was one you always protected me and held me tightly
Today I am 26 and I promise you I would be there by you always


When I was one you always looked after me and could not let me go away from your sight

Today I am 26 and  am far from your sight  and I so wish I could be there with you ...

When I was one you used to knit my clothes
Today I am 26 and I buy my clothes but I miss your choice ....

When I was one you, your touch used to be the blanket of comfort 
Today I am 26 , and I would do anything to keep my head in your lap ... 


No one is as beautiful and graceful as you Ma,
No one is as caring and protecting as you Ma,
No one is as important as you Ma,
You are the best gift God ever gave me Ma.
I love you Ma.

The choice


A man is truly powerful ! 

If he has the power to create life 
    he also has the power to snatch it 

If he has the power to bring a smile 
   he also has the power to haunt 

if he has the power to make millions our of a cent 
   he also has the power to snatch millions and give a cent 

If he has the power to feed his family 
    he also has the power to starve his neighbour 

if he has the power to heal a wound 
    he also has the power to create another 

If he has the power to build a society 
   he also has the power to destroy another

 If he has the power to protect his country   
   he also has the power to sufficate his country 

 If he has the power to love a fellow human 
    he also has the power to imbibe hatred into an entire community 

its but upto a man to decide what he choses to do - to create or to destroy !

myth=mithya Book Review


Dr Devdutt Pattanaik  is a medical doctor by education , leadership consultant by profession and mythologist by passion. myth=mithya  is a compilation of stories and beliefs of hindu mythology. It has all the small and big epic incidents which are grandmother would have shared with us and also those which she refused to tell us.
Its a book which quotes incidents which led to common hindu beliefs. Its a must read for those who want to understand hindu mythology and understand the background of various rituals.

The Indian society is considered gender biased and patriarchal , I have known this and been a silent witness since long without knowing why is that so ? what led to this belief ? was it mere convenience ? This book answers this question , to accept and agree with the answer is a different thing but it definitely tells us the rationale of our ancestors behind the male favorism in Hinduism .

Since Childhood I have been a importance to the worshiping of Shiv Linga.Our  society is a very conservative one ; here  talking about sex  in a public forum is a taboo . Yet I am awed by the fact that Lord Shiva is worshiped in the from a Shiv Lingam - which signifies the union of him and his wife Goddess Parvati . The lingam is essentially nothing but a phallus. The book quotes incidents from the past which led to the worship of Lord Shiva in this form .

Mahabharata and Ramayana have a number of incidents where Pandavs /Krishna and Lord Ram won by following the "Jungle rule" . They followed such codes in war that are typically considered not a warriors code. However we do worship Lord Krishna and Lord Ram. In fact Lord Ram is quoted as "maryada purshottam" or the "Ideal man". I used to think from time to time that if these are the very examples by which we are to learn and live by, than the definition of right and wrong itself can be questioned. Dr. Devdutt has to some extent given the rational behind this  too.Many of us would not have given a thought behind a trivial thing like why the hair of goddess Parvati and Lakshmi are typically tied by strands of flowers whereas that of Durga and Kali are left open . The book explains this as well.

Though Dr Devdutt has reasonably tried to explain a number of Hindu beliefs yet he has never forced his views. He has quoted incidents in support of the belief and has left it to us to infer and decide upon it. This is the beauty of this book . The language is very simple and the focus is entirely on the mythological incidents and Hindu beliefs.A must read for those who want to understand a know a little more of Hindu mythology.

Who is a righteousness person - Kumbhakarna or Vibhishan





Guys this question has bedazzled me for a long time, I really want to know what all of you think about it . .



who do u think is a righteousness person - Kumbhakarna or Vibhishan ?


Vibhishan

Who tried to explain ravan the significance of RAM and SITA and hence was abandoned by Ravan . He found peace at the feet of Lord Rama , as he knew Lord Ram was right and his brother Ravana was wrong. He stood by truth over relations . His Dharma was truth .His loyalty was towards right/truth.

Kumbhakarna

Who knew Ravan was wrong, who told Ravan in face that ravans deeds were wrong yet he fought for Ravan and Lanka. He knew he was going to die yet he went to the battle field. He considered his prime duty to be being dutiful to his elder brother and his kingdom even if they are wrong .This was his Dharma to stand by them when they needed him even though he did not agree with Ravans deeds. His loyalty was towards duties imparted by virtue of birth .



Given this - now if you had to chose between Family/ Friends who are not right VS the Truth l what would you have done ? Imagine you are in the above situation whom would you have supported would you fought for Ravan your elder brother as your duty as a younger brother is to obey and respect him OR would you have supported Ram who is right conventionally yet is on a war with your Brothers and kingdom ?

The Train Journey

The train journey reflects upon us thoughts which we tend to brush aside amidst the daily chaos.




The lush green fields often seen only in train journeys by city dwellers reflect upon us the prosperity gifted to us by all around like mother earth who inspite of being tortured by mankind gives him the gift of prosperity and thus teaching us to be thankful to the people around.



The momentous hills and the deep rivers cossed with ease in a journey reflects upon us that hurdles small and big would keep coming in our life not to pull us down but to make us realize that we have the power to conqour all hurdles and that we must keep moving crossing all the hurdels coming our way with ease .



The burned log in a remote farm is a symbol of destroying the waste and hoping for a fertile tomorow , reflecting upon us that we need to bury our past in a hope for better tommorow .It tells us we need to tolerate the occasional darkness of soot and heat of fire for shaping a better tommorow .



The kids dancing in joy at a mere sight of a moving train reflects upon us that we need to find happiness amidst the simplicity of our daily life and not in the monetary value of materialistic things.



The poor family sitting in a dirty corner of a busy station may be having their only meal for that day yet enjoying eavery bite with a peaceful smile.The scene questions us, if they can be happy and content then why can 't we?



The old couple travelling in great discomfort yet looking after each others small needs reflects upon us an eternal beautiful love story which is not as rosy as a cinema, but is about selfless love , about saying, "i love you" without uttering a single word after all its about spending an entire lifetime with each other.



It is but the last station, where the train finally stops after a long journey reflecting upon us that we must keep going, We must pursue our dreams till we reach our destination, our goal. We must overcome the occasional hurdles, we must also stop in between to rejunivate however we should never give up till we accomplish our dreams and are at peace with ambition .
