Prerna

Andheri zindagi me phir roshni aayi

Banjar zameen pe phir fasal ug aayee

Tumne jo ki hosla afzaaye..

Mujhme likhne ki phir ek prerna jag aayi..

NAYAA DAUR

Dekho nayaa daur hai aaya,

Saath apne kai rang hai laayaa,

Ab nahin ladkiyaan ghar main ghutati ,

Woh toh hain ladkon se kaandhe milake chalti,

Ab nahin rahaa ghar main ghoonghat,

Auraten gown main hain ghoomti.

Dekho nayaa daur hai aaya,

Saath apne kai rang hai laayaa,

Ab vichaaron ki nadiyaan hain khul ke behti,

Ab logoon ki soch seemit naa rehti,

Ab log naa karte baat chand ki,

Woh toh karte hain koshish mangal par jaane ki.

Dekho nayaa daur hai aaya,

Saath apne kai rang hai laayaa,

Ab toh school-college,

Lejaayaa jaataa hai kitaabon ka boraa,

Chaatra-chaatraayen attendance ke chakkar main

Aate hain college saal pura.

Dekho nayaa daur hai aaya,

Saath apne kai rang hai laayaa,

Ab ladkiyaan dahej nahin hain deti,

Woh to ladkoon ko hain jail main bhejti,

Ab naa rahi arrange marriage ki jhanjhat,

Bachchhe karen luv marriage jhat-pat.

Dekho nayaa daur hai aaya,

Saath apne kai rang hai laayaa,

Ab toh har stri karti hai koshish,

Tulsi ya paarvati banane ki,

Ab toh har mard karta hai koshish,

Miheer se om banane ki.

Dekho nayaa daur hai aaya,

Saath apne kai rang hai laayaa,

Jahan ye naya daur khushiyan,

Lekar hai aayaa,

Wahin isne kai logoon ka

Dil bhi hai dukhaayaa.

Ab naa rahaa choton ke dil main,

Badon ke liye aadar-satkaar,

Aur naa rahaa apno ke prati

Woh pehle waala pyaar.

Ab duniya main badh gayi hai,

Jhooth aur makkaari ki taadaat

Aise main imaandar aur sachchhe log

Mar rahen hain til-til- har din, har raat.

Kyoon naa hum, is naye daur ko,

Naye tareeke se sawaaren

Saath rakhen achchhi baaten aur

Buri aadaton ko nakaaren.

Aayo prem aur sadbhaav se

Hum apne kartavyon ko nibhayen

Apnepan aur khushiyon ke

Ujjwal Rangoon se,

Hum apne maye daur ko sajaayen.

Aur aane waali peedhee ke liye

Ek nayi misaal ban jayen

Aayo, apne is daur ko sajaayen

Apne is daur ko sajaayen.

Zindagi Kya hai

This one I wrote years back... I got my first prize in a city level Poetry competition for this one... :)

First Post

First blog post of mine and i am tired even before writing. I am not tired because its late in the night but because it took me almost an hour to create this blog. I am thinking why my parents named me with a name which is so common. that even though i tried different ways to create one account i could not.
And then, just like the twist in movies, I find this friend online, my saviour, one who I felt cud probably help me with a name. Then, we try out names in hindi, english, sanskrit and even a lil bit of tamil, only to realise..... they are already being used by someone....
and then deciding, not to use either my name nor any adjectives we come to the conclusion of this blogging name. Now thats about how we came to decide upon this name. And yes, as I promised my friend I am gonna thank him for the help he did.. So THANKS Dear :-)

But, wat made me think to blog????
Ya.. i know its among the latest and coolest things people do... but, thts not a reason y i am bloggin.. i ve been writing my diaries since nine years now... I think thats the best way one can relook at things you have come across. I ve enjoyed writing all these years... and wanna try the digitised wayof it.....I hope I enjoyin bloggin the same way I enjoy wiritng :-)
Good wishes to myself :)
