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.

Clarity?????

I am high with emotions today... I am not able to understand whr am i wrong exactly... I have few things to do a few goals to achieve in life but somehow i feel something is missing... i am not sure if i am taking the right path.. i have prioritized one of these goals but not able to achieve much... wat can be the reason??? Is there a lack of dedication?? lack of support (of course it is) but is tht lack of support not allowing me to dedicate much to the goal i wanted to achieve in the past few months??

There is something which is eating me from inside... I have tooo many things to do and i see tht the time i have is very little.. there are personal plans, professional goals and quite a few things for the family. how do i know which one to prioritise??? One must be thinking y cant i work on them simultaneously?? but thts not possible and i know it... atleast the first two can be achieved simultaneously but the third one..... Gosh!!! i am at such a mess...

The third one is very important and i know tht if i work for the other two or any of the other two i cant achieve this third one... but if i dont work on the other two now it will be too late and i might not be able to achieve them at all... and the third one.... thst equally important and needs immediate attention as well...

Quite confusing na??? yes it is.... there is stability of thoughts which is missing... thr is a need to analyse the whole situation again to have more clarity... but everytime i think and try analysing i only get more confused... last 9 months i ve spent in reaching a goal... initially thr were no hopes but in the forth to sixth month of my plan i saw a little improvement and my hopes took birth again... i want to continue with it with more dedication but i also see time slipping away from my hands.... i know if i concentrate on this goal of mine properly.. though it will take time i ll surely reach it... but then i also know tht if i dont work out things now for the other goals it will be too late for me and i dont want to regret later as well...


Solution:

for some time, i am pushing aside my personal plans.... i think i can still take some time to think about it.... let me concentrate on my family and professional plans for now... in know its near to impossible to concentrate on both but i guess for time being i can.....

Let me work on these two with full dedication and lets see after a month, wats the progress i have made with each... I just hope and pray and wish and will try not to waste time thinking wat to do and how to do.... I wanna grab every opportunity which comes across to me to achieve these wishes, these plans of mine...

Ameen...

I hope i will be able to sleep now... If not peaceful one, atleast a little rest to the body....

Zindagi Kya hai

Island grounds

started and written on 8th march,2009 but posted late..

Last evening was one among the most wonderful evenings... after more than a month of planning and me pestering people, finally some of my friends agreed to join me to the island grounds. Its like a mela organised in the city for around two to three months...

I remember when I was studying in school, every year I used to wait for the time for the exhibition to set up. It used to be my favorite place, cos tht was the only place in city whr they had all kind of fun rides and trust me till date i enjoy them all like 5 yr old kid :)

This is one place my parents wud never forget cos I ve got lost nearly two to three times in the exhibition. My mother would be just looking at some article at a stall and I would just be looking at something, thinking something and walking around only to realise after few mins that I ve got lost :) But my good luck, everytime I would only end up meeting a police officer, or a constable and then like a good child I would tell them my name, my age, fathers name and address and there would be an announcement for them to come and pick me from there...

Childhood was so good... you can do anything you want... anyways i wont deviate the topic of this post which is about island grounds... For the first time I went there with someone other than family... We enjoyed the rides like school kids... and as usual I was the one hooting around the most... I love to try the most craziest and scariest or rides...

We all for few hours went back to our childhood and enjoyed each others company... There was this haunted mansion kind of a thing... It was totally dark and two of my friends were walking ahead and others followed. The organizers had hired few kids in the of 12 to 14 to wear the masks and scare people.. The group which was before ours stopped as one of them got scared by the kid s disguise and my friend thought that these kids are actually miss behaving or something with the visitors so he just came in the front and kicked a boy... my GOD! tht kid cried in pain.... For few mins it was all panic inside the dark place.. we were all holding hands with each other and our dear friend POTATO (name changed) got so scared that he wanted to rush out first and in that rush he pushed all of us.. some of us got hurt though nothing big.... BUT u potato...... u only show off to be brave actually u r a cat.... a SCARED CAT...

At the end we took few snaps at the seven wonders of the world (tht was one of the delights of this years exhibition) and then came back home... on the whole it was fun with friends.... (snap attached)

"few professionals turned into kids for few hours" ;)

The Biggest Fight

Every person has a whole lot of dreams for himself and his loved ones. He turns his dreams into reality; some by luck, some by help, but most of them by his hard work, dedication, experience and his belief in himself. One can never achieve anything if he doesn’t believe in himself. And his confidence increases a multiple times when he sees a belief for himself in the eyes of his loved ones. His puts in all his efforts, infact works more than his normal capacity, so that he does not let his loved ones down.

But what happens, if his loved ones do not have faith in his efforts and believe his decisions have not served to be good in anyway??? Well, that’s when the biggest fight of his life starts. One can fight with the whole world but can never gather enough strength to fight against his loved ones. He has to not just prove himself right but also regain the confidence of his loved ones.

But how many win this fight?? Now that’s an unanswerable question..

No God or Know God?

Went through this article on one of the websites.. kind of liked it so much that wanna keep it for future reading...

An atheist professor of philosophy speaks to his class on the problem Science has with God, The Almighty। He asks one of his new students to stand and.....
Prof: So you believe in God?Student: Absolutely, sir
।Prof: Is God good?Student: Sure। Prof: Is God all-powerful?Student: Yes
Prof: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to God to heal him
Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill। But God didn't
How is this God good then? Hmm? (Student is silent।)
Prof: You can't answer, can you? Let's start again, young fellow
Is God good?
Student: Yes
Prof: Is Satan good ?
Student: No
Prof: Where does Satan come from?
Student: From...God
Prof: That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?
Student: Yes.Prof: Evil is everywhere, isn't it? And God did make everything. Correct?
Student: Yes.
Prof: So who created evil? (Student does not answer. )
Prof: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don't they?
Student: Yes, sir.
Prof: So, who created them? (Student has no answer.)
Prof: Science says you have 5 senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son...Have you ever seen God?
Student: No, sir.
Prof: Tell us if you have ever heard your God?
Student: No, sir.
Prof: Have you ever felt your God, tasted your God, smelt your God? Have you ever had any sensory perception of God for that matter?
Student: No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't.
Prof: Yet you still believe in Him?Student:
Yes.Prof: According to empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, science says your GOD doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?
Student: Nothing. I only have my faith.
Prof: Yes. Faith. And that is the problem science has.
Student: Professor, is there such a thing as heat?
Prof: Yes.Student: And is there such a thing as cold?
Prof: Yes.
Student: No sir. There isn't.
(The lecture theatre becomes very quiet with this turn of events.)
Student: Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don't have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, But we can't go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.
(There is pin-drop silence in the lecture theatre.)
Student: What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?
Prof: Yes. What is night if there isn't darkness?
Student: You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light....But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and its called darkness, isn't it? In reality, darkness isn't. If it were you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn't you?
Prof: So what is the point you are making, young man?
Student: Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.
Prof: Flawed? Can you explain how?
Student: Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, science can't even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor. Do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?
Prof: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.
Student: Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?
(The Professor shakes his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument is going.)
Student: Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavour, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher?
(The class is in uproar.)
Student: Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor's brain?
(The class breaks out into laughter.)
Student: Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor's brain, felt it, touched or smelt it? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established rules of empirical, stable, demonstrable protocol, science says that you have no brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?
(The room is silent. The professor stares at the student, his face unfathomable. )Prof: I guess you'll have to take them on faith, son.
Student: That is it sir... The link between man & god is FAITH. That is all that keeps things moving & alive.....
