Sides of my Corner.

Hi,

What actually is it that we start this journey?  I mean to accomplish Right? or is it to have a beautiful life, a beautiful day with a loved family, or a woman or lovely child. May be with father or mother of ours.
Lets imagine- what happens to those who are far away, far away from the feeling called heart.Are then missing someone, are they missing somebody? Sometimes they choose not to return back. Are they bad people? 
People used to talk logic into me, they always do. So many talk it deep towards me, but somehow i alway end up learning something odd from it, something just opposite to what they wanted me to.
there is a difference between being a metal and a magnet, u show metal love and it will come towards you, you attract a magnet and it can fly away too. 
But eh! with a magnet something else matters, which way are u pointing at.
It can go both sides. closer of far away.
But eh! with a human, its hard, its hard to say which way is which.
But eh! what ever happens the clock keeps on ticking, so each way is a new way.
Keep loving! keep living..
..with Love.

Survival or love

So what did i got special today! well a lot many words and love. But the best to share was a research report on chimpanzee’s social behavior. It is amazing how socially they behave.

But any ways, the best thing was hiding inside the deep of article. The darwin’s theory.
Remember??? 
The lines we are fed from childhood to the office level, untill we pass on to retirement age.
“Survival of the fittest”, ” In jungle who fights best lives longer” ” human race is also like a jungle life” “it is natural to compete and push around”.
Amazing! isn’t it, a man made the world more wise and some one over here in INDIA, used the best of this work, twisted and made up a fool on whole indian community, so that we have people who best know is fight with each other. 
Well, i will be harsh on my words. Next time some one comes to you saying- darvin said-  it is the rule of the jungle - the fittest survives.You can directly slap him in the face.  take my word for it. For these are the people whom i must call, water painted empty glass.
Taking a line from a man’s work of life and twist it to best suit his purpose.
As i read darwin today, i realized what a lot many of us are kept away from realizing, the benifits of cooperation and jugdement. 
Offcouser if you want to stick to the line” survival of the fittest’ darvin wrote it, then I must compare you to the commentator who keeps on saying since sachin hit one six in this match right now…INDIA world cup jeet gaya.(India has won the world cup}
Darvin gave a beautiful theory on how animals behave, and the survival of the fittest was a major observation. Not the  complete observation of the paper. It has huge pieces of soical behaviour, community effects, personnal behaviours, it also talks about the effects of living and hunting in groups.
But like always, some wise person in India decided to try how much fool can we INDIANs be. And frankly he made a lot much of fool of us too. 
…………life is beautiful gift not a survival exercise. Grow up. Try to have compassion for your near once.
And yes about that slap thing, we are humans right, so may be a slap would be too harsh. you decide but better don’t fight.

India: First Bastar then Mars

Hi!,

If you have read my last post “Dream India….”.  & are now searching for where it is, then pardon me!  I just pulled it back. Within last 9 hours, i realized a big difference. 
What good is an Indian on Mars- if there still are people down here- being killed, deprived of baisc facilities(confirmed by our constitution). 
I mean the last thing- i would wish to see is a child still abducted in child-labour, begging on streets, remaining half fed, but watching on television- “Ek bhartiya ne pehla kadam Mars par rakha”. 
Amricans did not take 300 years to dream up a vessel to moon, but i must say they took 300 years to make the nation stronger from inside. 
I will, Just say not change my dream but for now talk short term. lf not 2040.. lets talk 2020..ONE INDIA> FROM INSIDE> ONE NATION> FROM SOUL> ONE HEART.
………..with smiles.

PS- the heading, I am talking of the tribals! 

The Magic that is Mahabharata

April 13th, 2010

“If you wish to believe, Wish it First!”


Myths always adventure me. They feel so real, yet the effect of magic makes them more adventurous. 

Sometimes we question, about the effect of magic in them, mistrust(sometimes) because we have been taught to not to trust in magic. 

But what if there was no magic in the tales, had we carried them ahead. Had the Grandmothers “told them” to a dreaming child.  The Little angels, the children had they  been interested in a book filled with blood and war. 

It is hard, hard to pass the message hidden in the Great Books. What Krishna wanted us to know- 
Had we heard it? 
Had we passed it ahead? 
Had we watched it? 
It is the magic in them that attracts our interest in them. The magic is the key to human mind. It arouses our minds to think. The magic is what makes them acceptable.

Isn’t it magic, that lifes so Great, so Divine live even after Two and half thousand years. I love this magic!

Loved it so much that like others wished to break the magic, learn the realities behind the acts, learn the human side of words, trying to find out- what actually must have happened. 
The Game of dice.  

What is it that happened. The great act that author tried to create using Magic.

Once even i wished to do so too, wished to learn. Explain to myself- Why to be more human. How to do it.

But tell you what, today I wish a lot lesser. “This Magic”- I wish it keeps on being so for lifetimes, all lifetimes beyond me. Magic- once broken may sound too harsh for a person like me to digest, and he may not accept it possible, may not accept it true. 

Today, I wish- the magic hidden in these manuscripts remains a hidden magic.  I wish that it truely is magic that I read in them. Because that makes me ask for being more then a human, it makes me try to be more then the man that I am. 

I wish that this magic continues the same, To tell my kids- So it was written. I am going to tell them, Yes! it was magic alright, and you know what..that is the way the story went.. a magical Krishna played on the lands. 
Once upon a time, there was a tale full of magic, a magic that was lived, and there is  Krishna in it…and wish them to look at me with magical thoughts, with their imagination rolling. I wish them to try to roll their arms in alone to try the magic.

Life it is magical, I wish it stays Magic.

Sunshines!

आ चल तुझे मैं पर्वत पर ले चलूँ,
पर्वत से तुझे हिन्दुस्तान दिखाई दे| 
आ क़ि मैं तुझे एक रेगिस्तान ले चलूँ,
रेत में तुझे हिन्दुस्तान दिखाई दे.

बूँद-बूँद से लिख एक नई सड़क
झलक-झलक से बना एक नई महक,
आ चल तुझे एक बाज़ार  मे ले चलूँ,, 
हर्याले सब्ज़ में तुझे हिन्दुस्तान दिखाई दे.

कितनी ही बार लिख तू पयाम  
एक ख्याल  मिट्टी ए हमदर्द का,
चल तुझे, उन बगीचो में ले चलूँ,
हसते चेहरो में तुझे हिन्दुस्तान दिखाई दे.
मैं सिर्फ़ ख्याल था, डूब के हवा हो गया,
तू आज का सफ़रनामा है,
चल तुझे इन इमारतो में ले चलूँ,,
दौड़ती ज़िंदगियो में तुझे हिन्दुस्तान दिखाई दे.



तोड़ा तू चल उस बस्ती की ओर,
कुछ कदम, तरसती खेती के सवाल में,
एक पल कटते जंगल में, 
तो एक पल सुखती नदी से,
मिलेगा एक गॉव, डूबता हमारी मस्ती में,
चल तुझे ले चलूँ, बिखरते शहर में,
तुझे एक पुकारता हिन्दुस्तान दिखाई दे.

बरसने को एक इंसान ढूँढ ले,
की जिनको है, फैलने की आदत हाथ, 
छोड़ उनको कुछ इंसान ढूँढ ले

कहाँ मिट्टी को कुछ फकीरो से,
मुकम्ल जहाँ होता है,
खून से भरा है जिसका दमान 
कहाँ उसे बूँदो से असर होता है

कितने ही लूट गये,
आज भी घर में जब नाकाबिल ही पैदा हुए,
क्यों साफ करता है आँचल,
उसे देने को दो आँसू ढूँढ ले.

लेकिन फिर भी है,
एक आलम मुहब्बत,
घूमता समंदर, 
मरीज़ों में इंसान ढूँढता है,
मिलते नही मुकम्ल,
पत्थरों मे दिल ढूंढता है.

बेख़बर, कब्र तेरे पैरों के नीचे
खुदी खड़ी है,
चल ज़िंदगी रहने तक 
एक नज़र ढूँढले|

गिला को कभी घर ना देना,
तू बनता है राख से मकान,
उड़ाने को आएँगे अभी कब्र के तहसीलदार,
जब तक है कायम, हिम्मत
जलती नस्ल के कुछ परिंदे ढूँढ ले|

What should i write about!! the question stands straight???

I like the lines from the dark knight ” night is darkest before the dawn”.
I understand, those who wish to read something interesting, have got the answer.
“Night is darkest just before the dawn.” 
Good night!!

आज हम भी बेशरम हैं,
देखते हैं, रास्ते में और कितने अरमान घायल मिलते हैं!

जितने बचेंगे , उतने बाँटे लेंगे, दर्द तो रख दिल तू डूबा देना,
मैं अश्कों को बना रंग आसमान से मिला दूँगा||

देख ले ख्वाब कुछ पल और,
मैं तब तक जनाज़ा आपना सज़ा लूँ,
ढूंढते मुज़े आश्क़ दिन रैन हैं||


कहाँ तू पीछे मेरे आता  है,
मैं क्त्ल आज दूर जा रहा हूँ,
बड़ा बेशरम खुले नैन जा रहा हूँ||

देखता हूँ कितने ख्वाब सोच मुज़े मुर्दा,
आपना दिल खोल कर रोएंगे,
में लिए कुछ फूल उन्हे देने जा रहा हूँ||


काश थोड़ी शरम ना हमने की होती, 
ए सनम, अब लिए सिर्फ़ ख्याल मैं बहने जा रहा हूँ|


छोड़ अब दर्द की बात
अरमानो को मैं समेत लूँगा,
साथ मेरे कल के लिए जिंदगी को लपेट लूँगा,
तू भी मिल जाएगी कभी राह में भटकते हुए,


सिर्फ़ मेरे ख्वाब की बात बाकी रही,
आग देने, ए समंदर!  सोचता हूँ, मैं तुज़े ही बुला लूँ|
