क्या कोई ,कभी उनके लिए भी रोता है ?

क्या कोई ,कभी उनके लिए भी रोता है ?
जो सड़को पर बेबस पड़े रहते हैं ,इक बोझ की तरह ,
जो हर दिन हमें दिख जाते हैं कार,बस,रिक्सो की ,
खिड़कियों से,एक वक्त की रोटी की भीख मांगते हुए,


कुछ माँए ,जो अपने बच्चे को गोद मे चिपकाकर,
ऊसकी हर सांस की भीख मांगती हुई,
कभी अपनी,कभी उसकी किस्मत पर रोती हुई,
कभी खुद को कभी भगवान को कोसती हुई,
जिंदगी मांगने की तो हिम्मत ही नहीं उसमे,
शायद मौत ही मांगती होगी ,हर पल,
पर शायद उसके लिए ये मौत भी बहुत महंगी है,
जो आती ही नही हजारों मिन्नते करने पर भी,


इस अंधी, भागती,दौड़ती , जिंदगी मे,जहाँ हर कोई अपनी जिंदगी के लिए मरता है,
वहाँ क्या कोई,कभी उनके लिए भी रोता है ?

The Show Must Go On !!!!!

Life is beautiful,with its twist and turn,
You might cry sometimes ,but believe me,
Its just a one time fun,
We meet-depart, laugh-cry ,live & die,
But when we do something great for others, and live it as a gift,
We understand ,its all just a lie,

We don't die, we never leave,
we just live in the hearts of our loved ones and heave,
We live our moment ,making myriad lives beautiful,
And then comes the Dawn,
Reminding us the ultimate truth ,that,
The Show Must Go On !!!

I WILL Not Quit !!!!!

When The Dark Clouds Are Hovering All Over Horizon,
When The World Around Me ,Keeps Pinching Me for My Passion,
When Everything Seems Broken In Bits,
I Will Rise Again To Say,
I'll Not quit.

What If I Failed In Life ,When I Should Have Won,
What If They Laughed At Me ,When I Was In Moan,
What If I Fell Sometimes When The Fall Was Steep,
What If I Stood My Ground When I Was Hardest Hit,
As Long As The Beats Of Heart Are Singing Those Beats,
I Will Rise Again ,To Say,
I'll Not Quit.

What If My Myriad Dreams Got Shattered Away,
What If The Whole World Conspired To Get Me Away,
What If My Kin And Foes Lost All Faith In Me,
What If Their Every Word Kept Stinging Like A Bee,
As Long As I Have Blood In My Veins, And My Hope Is Lit,
I Will Rise Again ,To Say,
I'll Not Quit.


This Is Life My Friend. You Have To Fight To Survive. And You Have To Fight Knowing That "Quitting Is Not Even An Option".....!!!!!

Is He Really Up There ???

                                            
It was a  breezy Saturday evening and I was all set to go to a nearby mall for shopping.It's  a kind of usual routine work for me .Since in this fast paced, cut throat competitive world,people generally perceived as well settled and 'happy',try to buy happiness through shopping complexes and branded products.
No sooner did I get off the auto ,than I saw a little cute girl,in ragged dirty clothes,carrying a small little baby in her arms,and rushing towards me.She must not be more than five or six ,but it seemed the cruelty of life had taken all her innocence away and taught her all the tricks of this callous world.I was taken aback and could regain consciousness,only when she came close to me and pulled my shirt in  a rather weird way.Before I could react,she asked me in  wretched voice "Brother give me five rupees.We have not eaten anything since morning" ,pointing towards that little ,untidy but cute kid in her arm.Her 'brother' word suddenly pinched my heart.The kid had a very unconventional smile on his lips that was trying to shadow his hunger ,but his dry eyes and starving body was saying it all.The girl was also very small,but having been put in a position of guardianship,she looked much more mature and strong,mentally more than physically.And the most strange thing is that even at this tender age she was ready to take that responsibility.
I pulled out randomly a ten rupee note from my wallet and extended towards her.She looked puzzled as if I would have done something unworldly.I could not then understand the reason of their bewilderment,but when later I saw quite rich people scolding and abusing them in return of their request for five rupees,I understood it all.For them it was not just a 'ten rupee note'. Girl bought a bread,sat on the footpath, and fed her brother first only to eat the remaining part herself later.And the more intriguing thing is that they looked very happy and satisfied after eating that small piece of bread.I got an eternal satisfaction of having done something good.Though that was just a ten rupee note,but that smile on their lips was worth millions.
At the same time I saw a family(husband,wife and a kid) getting off from Audi.They went directly inside MacDonald.But the kid,roughly of the same age of the girl I met just a little while ago,din't seem to be happy.May be he was bored of eating the same pizza and burger every time.He wanted to go somewhere else. 
I saw people fighting over the brand of their watches and mobile.I saw a young man kicking himself among his friends because he could not buy that new bike in the market.
I was witnessing the most cruel truth of humanity and the gravest of disparity at the same time.Unable to think anything I sat on the stairs outside and looked up in the sky rather helplessly,to search for the "Almighty" but couldn't find Him.The agnostic inside me was winning this time and I looked up again to ask "Is he really somewhere up there"?

Having born and brought up in a typical orthodox society,the idea of The God was automatically instilled in me.Hence I always had this belief that there is nothing beyond God and God is the reason for everything.So can the poverty and suffering of that small girl be without god's will?
They argue in "Holy Gita" that 'Karma' is the sole reason of happiness and suffering of a person.Then what about those who have not even been given this chance to do 'Karma'?What is the fault of those millions who are born in poverty and die fighting for their survival?What justification could God and his followers give for the simmering death of millions of children who are abused and forced into child trafficking ,sex racket,and begging industry?What could 
be the mistake of a baby girl,who is killed in her mother's womb only?
And on The contrary what 'Karma' has that small kid in Audi done,worth getting everything that he is?If we are all His children then why is he biased against His own children?And If He is the reason for everything that happens to us then ain't  he the main 'culprit'?And If everything is random ,then why do we pray Him?
Is it only because ,it gives us a sense of belonging and a  hope that someone is looking after us and He will perfect everything?Is the existence of God just a false hope of myriad dying people who need something to linger upon for surviving?
Every Holy book of all religions,that is considered as God's own words, teaches to be honest and true.But everyday we come across the news of honest people either being killed or dying of poverty,and corrupt criminals who have committed the worst  sins ,enjoying all kinds of luxury.If God is there,can't he see all this?and if he is not strong enough then why do we consider him "The Almighty".
Places that are considered abode of God,and people who are considered His Messengers, are selling him for every single penny and he is quiet.There is a price tag on his 'darshan'. Rich people can get to have a private meeting with him by spending lakhs,but he is not available for poor who can't pay for him.And he seems to be enjoying all this luxury inside that golden house.Sometimes I feel that he has become a puppet in the hands of his agents.But if he can't save himself ,how can we expect him to save us from our miseries?Ain't we relying on the wrong pillars?
But wait, He does start looking powerful time and again.At the time of riots He looks powerful.They kill,loot,rape,incinerate people in the name of God ,in the name of religion and sometimes in the name of violation of religion.And our God does nothing to stop them.May be because it's his own will.The God who can not even protect his own name ,I don't think can protect anybody or anything.
If the tears and blood of millions can't wake him up then I think we are worshiping stones only.The God in them has left long ago.And if at all , he is somewhere up there ,I beg him to protect me from being an atheist.I too want to believe that the God  my mother prays everyday is not just a stone.But for that he will have to show his presence.He can't just turn his face away from our adversities.He simply can't  reside inside a Golden house and let us die of hunger,poverty and anarchism. If he is there ,he has to listen to us !!!!!

   
       
  

If This Is Life ,Then What's Death !!!

The development from bullock carts to shiny cars,from letters to emails,from human messengers to phones,from writing to typing and from calculators to computers,can really make somebody feel envious of our journey towards development.We have really marched into this new glittering world of technology very
rapidly.And we are all enjoying this race,or at least are in delusion.
So pardon me if i tell to take a pause and ponder.Where are we going?why are we running?or more fundamentally ,what do we actually want from life?
The main reason behind the advancement of technology and making new discoveries was to make life more simple and luxurious for people.The general perception
was that it would save our (people) time and effort.And It indeed has saved our lot of time and extravagant effort.But then what have people done with the
time,that has been saved by the use of technology?The answer ought to be that now they enjoy more leisure and work in a relaxed environment.
But when I start observing today's life I find the answer quite contradictory.Nowadays People are working more  than ever.Everybody is running relentlessly in this rat race just for the sake of survival.I don't know how life became so complex.We can not deny the fact that we are living in a digitally connected
world,yet people have never been less connected.We have come in contact with every corner of the world ,but simultaneously have lost contact with our own
neighbors. Why?
Every coin has two sides.And we certainly seem to be on the wrong side,as far as modern technology usage is concerned.Machines were meant to be run by our instructions but now they control our lives.We need to decide its course.See the life of any metropoliton city.People are always running.They do earn a
handsome salary but the cost that they pay is invaluable.They lose their life in lieu of money.They dont have time for their kids and families. Infact they don't have time even for themselves.And one fine morning when they look back they find nothing.
So wake up !!!Don't get into delusion !!!Don't run blindly after money !!!money can buy lot of things but not happiness!!!Don't fall into this trap.Life is all about living ,not about wasting it preparing to die...!!!

Here I would like to recite a stanza of a hindi poem that really grabbed my attention when i first read it long back....And it really made me think !!!!

  Karvan Guzar Gaya, Gubar Dekhte Rahe.

Neend Bhi Khuli Na Thi Ki Hai Dhoop Dhal Gayi,
Paon Jab Talak Uthe Ki Zindagi Fisal Gayi,
Paat-Paat Jhar Gaye Ki Shaakh-Shaakh Jal Gayi,
Chah To Nikal Saki Na Par Umar Nikal Gayi.

Geet Ashk Ban Gaye,
Chhand Ho Dafan Gaye,
Saath Ke Sabhi Diye Dhuan-Dhuan Pehen Gaye,
Aur Hum Jhuke-Jhuke,
Mod Par Ruke-Ruke,
Umar Ke Chadhaav Ka Utaar Dekhte Rahe,
Karvan Guzar Gaya, Gubar Dekhte Rahe!

And Final words before signing off today....just think so that you don't have to sing these lines at the dawn of your life......
                        Kuchh Bhi Naa Aakhir Ho Saka Sabkuchh Sanjone Me,
Zindagi Khatam Ho Gayi Ek Hansi Ke Liye Rone Me.....
