शायद......


चलते  हुए  इन  पैरो  से 
तुम्हारे  बताये  हुए  रस्ते  में 
फिर  भटक  गया  हूँ 
यहाँ  से  कोई  सिरा  नहीं  दिखाई  देता 

दिखाई  देता  है  जैसे  रेगिस्तान  में 
और  समुन्दर  का  वो  सिरा 
जो  चमकता  हुआ   लगता  है 
शायद  स्कूल  में  जो  शब्द  “mirage ”  
सिखा  था  
ऐसा ही हो

Death Sentence...

Recently there was an article in Hindu http://orwell.ru/library/articles/hanging/english/e_hanging This article has  come up on the wake of giving mercy to the killers of Rajiv Gandhi. There has been huge row about forgiving those involved in it. It has been twenty years since Mr Gandhi died and more than 70 years since Mr Orwell wrote the article. Letting these people off the crime they did, seems to be logical amongst various set of society who thinks letting go the criminals is a way forward for an emerging society. Death sentence looks medieval or cruel.  But was the crime (murder) committed a civilized step ? A society that sentences killers to nothing worse than prison -- no matter how depraved the killing or how innocent the victim -- is a society that doesn't *really* think murder is so terrible.  When a killer is hanged till death, society is condemning his crime with a seriousness and intensity that no other punishment achieves. I still remember as a child th...

1947 Earth Revisited

Was listening to Rut Aa Gayi re randomly . Felt why is this not reviewed by me . Here goes my two cents and a half  Partition  is probably the most brutal massacre in human history with unaccounted figures of loss and trauma. Now, more than 85 years later, the scars still run deep. The present circumstances continue to serve as cruel reminders of the past. People still kill in the name of religion, nationalism and patriotism. Deepa Mehta's  1947: Earth  is another Partition saga. The second in her trilogy ( Fire, Earth, Water ) this film has, and will, run into controversy. It will surely be accused of being anti-Muslim, anti-Hindu and anti-Sikh, depending on one's political and religious allegiance. The film, in reality, is neither. Based on Bapsi Sidhwa's novel  Cracking India  (or  Ice Candy Man ), Mehta's film encompasses only half the novel. It leaves out the nerve-racking depictions of violence, rape and plunder, as described by Sidhwa. The novel...
