‘A Proud Indian’

An American decided to write a book about famous churches around the
World.

So he bought a plane ticket and took a trip to China .

On his first day he was inside a church taking photographs when he
Noticed a golden telephone mounted on the wall with a sign that read
“$10,000 per call”.

The American, being intrigued, asked a priest who was strolling by what
The telephone was used for.

The priest replied that it was a direct line to heaven and that for
$10,000 you could talk to God.

The American thanked the priest and went along his way.

Next stop was in Japan .. There, at a very large cathedral, he saw the
Same golden telephone
with the same sign under it.

He wondered if this was the same kind of telephone he saw in China and
He asked a nearby nun what its purpose was.

She told him that it was a direct line to heaven and that for $10,000
He
Could talk to God.

“O.K., thank you,” said the American.

He then traveled to Pakistan , Srilanka , Russia , Germany and France ..

In every church he saw the same golden telephone with the same “$10,000
Per call” sign under it.
The American, upon leaving Vermont decided to travel to up to India to
See if Indians had the same phone.

He arrived in India , and again, in the first church he entered, there
Was the same golden telephone, but thi s time the sign under it read
“One
Rupee per call.”

The American was
surprised so he asked the priest about the sign.
“Father, I’ve traveled all over World and I’ve seen this same
golden
Telephone in many churches. I’m told that it is a direct line to
Heaven,
But in the US the price was $10,000 per call.

Why is it so cheap here?”

इबादत में ख़लल पड़ता है………

 

“रोज़ तारों की नुमाइश में ख़लल पड़ता है

चाँद पागल है, अंधेरों में निकल पड़ता है

उनकी याद आई है साँसों में ज़रा धीरे चलो

धड़कनो से भी इबादत में ख़लल पड़ता है”


पल्के इन्तझार में…….

 

“बस एक हाँ के इंतज़ार में रात यूँ ही गुज़र जाएगी

अब तो बस उलझनें हैं साथ मेरे, नींद कहाँ आएगी

सुबह की हर किरण न जाने कौन सा संदेशा लाएगी

रिमझिम सी गुनगुनाएगी या प्यास अधूरी रह जाएगी”


याद आए हो तुम……..

 

“बरसात की हर बूँद में समाए हो तुम

मेरे दिल में खास जगह बनाए हो तुम

यूँ तो हमदर्द की कमी नहीं है मगर

न जाने क्यूँ आज बहुत याद आए हो तुम”


ख्वाईश…..

“हर सुबह तेरी दुनिया में रोशनी कर दे,

रब तेरे हर ग़म को खुशी कर दे,

जब भी डूबने लगे तेरी साँसें,

खुदा तुझमे शामिल मेरी ज़िंदगी कर दे”

A Lesson from Maths

One more instance of how different individuals think and learn differently.

A teacher teaching Maths to seven-year-old Arnav asked him, ‘If I give you one apple and one apple and one apple, how many apples will you have?

‘Within a few seconds Arnav replied confidently, ‘Four!’

The dismayed teacher was expecting an effortless correct answer (three).
She was disappointed. ‘Maybe the child did not listen properly,’ she thought.
She repeated, ‘Arnav, listen carefully. If I give you one apple and one apple and one apple, how many apples will you have?’

Arnav had seen the disappointment on his teacher’s face. He calculated again on his fingers. But within him he was also searching for the answer that will make the teacher happy. His search for the answer was not for the correct one, but the one that will make his teacher happy. This time hesitatingly he replied, ‘Four…’

The disappointment stayed on the teacher’s face. She remembered that Arnav liked strawberries. She thought maybe he doesn’t like apples and that is making him loose focus. This time with an exaggerated excitement and twinkling in her eyes she asked, ‘If I give you one strawberry and one strawberry and one strawberry, then how many you will have?’

Seeing the teacher happy, young Arnav calculated on his fingers again. There was no pressure on him, but a little on the teacher. She wanted her new approach to succeed. 

With a hesitating smile, young Arnav enquired, ‘Three?’

The teacher now had a victorious smile. Her approach had succeeded. She wanted to congratulate herself. But one last thing remained. Once again she asked him, ‘Now if I give you one apple and one apple and one more apple how many will you have?’

Promptly, Arnav answered, ‘Four!’

The teacher was aghast. ‘How Arnav, how?’ she demanded in a little stern and irritated voice.

In a voice that was low and hesitating, young Arnav replied, ‘Because I already have one apple in my bag.’

‘When someone gives you an answer that is different from what you expect don’t think they are wrong. There may be an angle that you have not thought of at all. You will have to listen and understand, and not listen with a predetermined notion.’



 


तुजे याद किया है हमने…..

 

 

तेरी बेरुखी को भी रुत्बा दिया है हमने,

प्यार का हर फर्ज अदा किया है हमने,

मत सोच के हम भुल गये है तुजे,

आज भी खुदा से पहेले तुजे याद किया है हमने…..


लफ्जों मे ब्यान हम कर ना सके……

 

जझबात बहुत गहेरे थे मगर,

आंखो से ब्यान हम कर ना सके,

वोह बात जबान तक आयी मगर,

लफ्जों मे ब्यान हम कर ना सके……

 


दर्द ना पड सका…..

में आज अपने आप से खफा हुं ,

जो उसके चहेरे की मायुसीयां ना पड सका ,

पर क्या करुं उसकी याद में ऐसा खोया की ,

उसकी मुश्कुराट के पिछे का दर्द ना पड सका…..


क्युं अकेला छोड जाते हो हमें……..

 

क्युं रुलाते हो हमें,

क्युं भुल जाते हो हमें,

तेरे ही सहारे तो जी रहे है हम,

तो फिर क्युं अकेला छोड जाते हो हमें……..

 

हर बात कॉ छुपाना आता है तुम्हे,

रुठों को मनाना आता है हमें,

रुठे हो तुम ना जाने किस बात पर,

तो फिर वोह बात कयुं नहि बताते हो हमें…..

 

जान जाती है हमारी,

जब याद आती है तुम्हारी,

तुम जो हमें भुला देते हो,

तो फिर क्युं याद इतना आते हो हमें……..

 

हम जिने के बहाने मरते रहेंगे,

प्यार हम तुमसे करते रहेंगे,

प्यार तो तुम भी हमें करते हो,

तो फिर क्युं युं सताते हो हमें……..
