Of Joy And Sorrow : For someone real close to my heart......

Sometimes something very disturbing happens and one becomes speechless how to address that situation... I am in that stage right now and I know no words spoken would comfort what the loss has been . Joy they say is the most infallible presence of God. The word sounds comforting yet the path of life is fraught with tests, failures, sorrow , doubt and a heavy dose of loss. When our spirits is tested by life, we are often bolstered by hope. Joys and sorrows , happiness and sadness, smiles and tears, ecstasy and agony. It is in us that the experience of one feeling intensify the awareness of the other. Our life is usually guided and directed for finding greatest strength for attaining and contemplating about these opposites. Perhaps it is okay to shed tears over loss of something or someone. It is okay to feel sad and hurt. It is okay to feel tender. We often want to avoid these expressions or feelings that pierces our heart. it would be great to believe that feelings are insepa...

What Is Revolution

I know what I am talking about when I am talking about the revolutions. The people who read the books go to the people who can't read the books, the poor people, and say, "We have to have a change." So, the poor people make the change, ah? And then, the people who read the books, they all sit around the big polished tables, and they talk and talk and talk and eat and eat and eat, eh? But what has happened to the poor people? They're dead! That's your revolution. Shhh... So, please, don't tell me about revolutions! And what happens afterwards? The same fucking thing starts all over again!  Quote from Duck You Sucker http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAxJb1v-SnU

Once Upon On Television

Once upon a time started a mega T.V show. It was a huge hit. It started when one of the biggest tv show had just ended. The entire country had loved the perfect script. The end was superlative and cashing on the superlative move a new serial started. Issue was widespread and deeply felt. The program was covered mutually exclusively to all channels. Others also wanted to cash in. The producers was raking money like never before. T.R.P.s on extreme high. Then there was clash of interests. People started saying dialogues without script.One actor walked out. And he tries and try hard to make a serial of his own. He has altered the previous script and fills in actor from every place. Sadly leaders are not made by T.V Channels Aam Aadmi Nayak.

On Education

Imagine a standard fourth child learning the details of how heart functions... sounds romantic but actually it is not.. I personally don't remember much beyond a term called aorta...Now imagine the same child willing to know more details about how heart functions at home, he would at most find his parents not in a situation to give him that knowledge. This(parents unable to answer) is attributed to various factors. First being not enough work on science including social science is done in indigenous language. Secondly the rote system of learning wont keep parents being aware of terms. (this is on assumption that parents are at least tenth passed out which is a very hypothetical liberty I have taken). Instead of help or clarification the most likely scenario is he being scolded of not being attentive in class. This is also to be attributed to the fact that in general Indian parents lack enough resource themselves for their own clarifications, the resources like public library,...

समस्या और समाधान

एक बात जो मुझे किसी भी समस्या के बारे में अच्छी लगती है की हर समस्या अपना ही समाधान है। नहीं मेरा ये कतई ईरादा नहीं है की पहले ही लाइन में आपको कनफ्यूज़ करूँ, लेकिन ये बड़ा ही रोचक है की हर एक समस्या कैसे किसी समाधान की तरफ ही बढ़ती है। समस्या इसी लिए है की समाधान हो । मन करता है जिस किसी ने भी समस्या को डीफाइन किया है उसके पीठ को थपथपाऊँ।  बात दरअसल ये है की कुच्छ दीनों से गालिब जी की एक ग़ज़ल दिल में बस गयी है  उनके देखे से जो आ जाती है मुंह पे रौनक वो समझते है की बीमार का हाल अच्छा है देखते क्या पाते है उसाक बुतो से क्या फैज ईक बराहम्ण ने कहा है की ये साल अच्छा है हमको मालूम है जन्नत की हक़ीक़त लेकिन दिल को खुश रखने का ग़ालिब ये खयाल अच्छा है कभी कभार कुच्छ सोच जबर्दस्त जादू करती है।  सोच की वास्तविकता या वैधता पर संशय करना मूर्खता सी लगती है ।शायद कुछ उसी तरह जैसे खुशी को जिंदगी के साथ रिलेट किया जाये। अनततः समस्याए सिर्फ सोच है जो मेरे अंदर है। तो उसे बस ऐसे ही छोड़ दिया जाये। और मज़े की बात ये है की ये भी  तो  समस्या का समाधान...

Unforgiven

Somehow I can not sleep. Some scars remain. Decided to watch one movie with me but kept long pending to see.After watching this classic trying to pen some words in praise of this "mind blowing movie" I don't know if people who have watched it could relate it to extreme leftism gone a muck  or not. The themes of male bravado, courage, and violence are all easy enough to spot, but most fascinating is Eastwood’s treatment of extreme leftism gone haywire, as personified by Hackman’s terrifying sheriff, Little Bill. Bill lords over the small, vulnerable town of Big Whiskey, Wyoming with an iron hand. He’s particularly insistent about his “No Firearms” policy: With all his citizens unarmed, he and his goons are free to mete out their savage brand of justice without fear of reprisal from anyone. The town,feels like a town under the grip of fascism ,a cautionary example of Big Government whose powers have gone unchecked. Rather than flaunting any political affiliation, though...

ऐसे प्यार करो

प्यार में यह न कहो कि मैं अपना रंग और गंध और अपनी भाषा बदल लूं तुम्हारे लिए बदल दूं अपना नजरिया अपनी दृष्टि केवल सपनों और उम्मीदों से न करो करो मुझसे प्यार संपूर्णता में करो मुझे मेरे वक्त से काटकर काटकर मेरे अतीत से भविष्य से प्यार नहीं करो करो तो जरा सोच समझकर करो इतनी जल्दबाजी हड़बड़ी और भावुकता में प्यार नहीं करो

Sorry State ....

India is considered to be the most powerful cricketing nations. It has around 44 international stadium meant for developing cricket. Sadly like all the patriarchal set up, the term cricket also means men's cricket. India has finished 7th out of 8 in ICC World Cup. A similar performance would have made headlines and wont have been exaggeration if weeks the news channels would have stepped up to analyse what went wrong. The news of Women's Cricket exiting the cup came as a small news segment. Nothing else. The state of Indian Women's team is in shambles to say the least. I must have been around 10 or 11 when in my small town of hazaribagh (yes there is city called hazaribagh in India), a match took place which featured Diana Edulji (considered the Kapil Dev of Indian Cricket Team). The match was not even held in dilapidated stadium we have. It was conducted on a ground (football ground outside St. Columba's Collegee) with bushes around and if the ball went beyond bound...

मौन स्वीकृति

भीष्म नहीं चाहते थे परिवार का बिखराव बापू नहीं चाहते थे देश का बटवारा राम नहीं चाहते थे सीता से अलगाव इसके बावजूद हुआ वही जो नहीं होना चाहिए था आज हमारा न चाहना हमारे चाहने की स्वीकृति ही तो   है चुपचाप देख रहे है हम बेबसों की  श्रींखला में अपना नाम जुड़ते हुए

What Annoys Me (As If It Mattered)

Breaking news Every Channel has same breaking news and "Exclusive". Why not term breaking news as "broken news" and exclusive as Mutually Exclusive". Opposition Congress opposes whatever BJP does. BJP opposes whatever congress does.  Beyond a point of time you  forget what is the topic of discussion. Arnab Goswami It would be a brilliant idea if instead of people in discussion on his shows are just the mannequins. He would anyways wont let them speak. Rohit Sharma & Sir Ravindra Jadeja The worst line Dhoni said that Jadeja migth get another 30 to 35 matches. And there would always be NOHIT Sharma on the boards. Perhaps he would get BCCI awars for guest appearances. Mamta Di Wont say much . I can get sedation law imposed on me. Protests Jantar Mantar meant to be astrological wonder is yet again showing our future is nothing but dark where people come to have symbolic representation of protest (mainly to get two mins of fame) and would ne...

छिछा लेदर

हम आँसुओं को उनसे चुराते चले रहे वो और हमको   रुलाते चले गए हमारी वफ़ा का रंग नज़र आएगा कैसे हम बेवफ़ा है दाग लगाते चले गए बदलेगा हमारा वक़्त भी ऐ दोस्त एक दिन यह ऐतबार दिल को कराते चले गए हमदर्द उसे जब से हमने बना लिया वह दर्द हमारे नाम लिखाते चले गए
