Thanks for all the learnings, because of which I've survived,

Thank you for teaching me live happily and thrive.

The memorable trip

Lot of excitement and confusions mixed before the start of the trip,

But meeting the group and saying hellos, my confidence got the grip,

It was all about four days of loving the beautiful nature,

And exploring the hidden wonders, people, farms and culture,

Travelling through wildlife sanctuaries, rivers, waterfalls and lakes,

Listening to stories from thirdworldstoryteller, getting lots of inspiration and knowledge,

A delightful time spent, making fantastic memories unforgettable,

An experience so special, giving our skin goosebumps and eyes sparkle,

Getting grounded deep in the forests, trekking amidst heavy rains,

Listening to birds and insects doing their daily gossip, felt the nature's voice in human silence,

Dancing in the farms, understanding locals, and swimming in rivers,

Watching the fireflies decorating night sky, trees and farms glowing with glitter,

The lovely rainbow spreading colorful magic in blue sky,

Raindrops and sunshine, hugging each other pleasing our eyes,

Lush green hills till the horizon and chilling clouds walking with us,

The wonderful Narmada, Mahal, Don and Saputara, and the amazing journey in bus,

The go green cousins going ahead cleaning the forest,

Motivating us all, to protect the earth and nature, for generations next,  

Met awesome people, made great friends, and the best storyteller,

Thank you all for the precious times and lovely memories we all had together.

Aspirants

The immense pool of talented minds,

The lots and lots of passionate and intelligent kinds,

The perseverance, grit and dedication unbound,

The strong will to work for society, make an impact on ground,

The infinite efforts being put by these intellectual beings,

The kind hearts, grounded backgrounds, visionary human beings, 

With patriotism running through their veins,

Every year, apply to serve the nation, looking to work for this country's and society's well being.

Their everyday intense routine and the immortal dreams, 

With never ending studying and learning, and so much of sacrificing,

The future administrators, policy makers, officers, protectors, 

Looking to devote their life for the country and its people,

Extra ordinary they are, with a never give up attitude,

Firm belief in oneself, and the hope to make a difference, gives the confidence of such magnitude.

From another perspective, lakhs of strong brilliant youngsters,

With grit in their hearts, knowledge in their minds,

Sacrifice their crucial years, for an examination, one of a kind,

All the hardworking candidates are equally great ones to qualify,

But with the acceptance rate so less, takes a toll on all who don't reach those heights,

Agree that trying our best till the last point gives us satisfaction,

But so many precious years of these talents, struggling for a chance so low,

Are capable to do wonders, if given some more opportunities, to serve our nation,

The times have changed, The scope of everything gets bigger everyday,

The methods need to change, thinking simpler, going out of the box might give us better ways,

More inclusive we are, the more diverse, the more impact we can create,

More these talents pour in to serve, in different newer ways, the more progress we can make,  

Can bring together all of these skilled, impactful human beings,

To do good things for us, the society and our country, 

They can do anything and everything, to make this world, our nation a better place to live in .

 

 

क्या करना है, क्या कहना है

क्या करना है, 

क्या कहना है,

करना बहुत कुछ है, 

मगर कहने से डरना है,

कुछ अच्छा करके कितना कहना है,

या कुछ गलती हो जाए तो कितना चुप रहना है,

सब कुछ कहना, सब कुछ करना है,

बस चुप नहीं रहना है,

सही होंगे तो बनेंगे मिसाल,

गलत होंगे तो समझेंगे दुनिया से, बदलेंगे अपने विचार ।

क्या करना है,

क्या कहना है,

या फिर जो मन को सही लगता,

लेकिन दुनिया को नहीं,

क्या वह नहीं करना है ?

कहने या चुप रहने के डर से,

या कौन क्या सोचेगा, 

सही गलत सबकी नजर से,

क्या यह सोचकर कुछ नहीं करना है ?

या सब कुछ करके, सब कुछ कहना है ।

कांच सा पारदर्शी बनना है,

बदलाव का उदाहरण बनना है,

समझना समझाना है सभी को,

जो लगता सही, 

कुछ नया करने की जरूरत है कहीं,

कठिन होगा समय, 

जब कुछ या बहुत लोग कहेंगे गलत,

ना होगा रास्ता आसान, 

पर मुश्किलों से ही तो बनेंगे हम सख्त,

अगर गलत हुए तो गिरेंगे, फिर ना उठ पाएंगे,

सही हुए तो गिर गिर कर भी उठ खड़े हो जाएंगे,

विश्वास है अगर खुद पे सही का,

तो सब कुछ पार कर बदलाव लाएंगे,

फिर ना कहने वाले भी वहां साथ खड़े पाएंगे,

प्रेरणा हो आने वाली पीढ़ियों को,

सच और बदलाव के लिए खड़े होने की,

सबको समझाके साथ लेके आगे बढ़ना है,

सब कुछ करना है , सब कुछ कहना है,

विचारों को प्रकट करना है, बस चुप नही रहना है ।

प्यार अपना है, प्यार स्पेशल है

प्यार अपना है, प्यार स्पेशल है,

यह कुछ नहीं, बस एक साधारण से दिल की धड़कन है,

चाहे वह अपने जीवन साथी का हो,

या कोई अनजाने के लिए हो,

चाहे वह माता पिता और बच्चे का हो,

या हो कोई celebrity के एक फैन का,

अपने काम के लिए प्यार हो, 

या अपनी प्रिय hobby के लिए,

चाहे भाइयों बहनों या cousins का,

या फिर दादा दादी नाना नानी या परिवार का,

कहीं भी किसी से भी कैसे भी,

बस वह दिल की एक धड़कन, प्यार है,

प्यार अपना है , प्यार स्पेशल है |

दिल, जो आ गए हैं प्यार के तूफान में,

कुछ, जो बिछड़े हुए शहरों की दूरियों से,

या फिर जो दूर है अनकही बातों के दर्द से,

या जो कभी मिले ही नहीं, उस शक्स से,

ढूंढना अपने साथी को दिल से , यह भी प्यार है,

मिल जाए तो कह देना, या बस अपने आप में मुस्कुराना,

बस वह दिल की एक धड़कन, प्यार है ,

प्यार अपना है, प्यार स्पेशल है |

जैसे हर इंसान का dna है अनूठा,

हर एक प्यार भी है बिल्कुल अनोखा,

चाहे हो पूरा, अधूरा या हो एक तरफा,

चाहे हो खुशियों और मुस्कान से भरा,

या फिर दर्द और आंसुओं से सना,

या फिर बस प्यार का इंतज़ार है, 

कौन होगा, क्या होगा, कहां कैसे , कईं खड़े सवाल है,

प्यार अपना है, प्यार स्पेशल है ।

एक प्यार जो life का सबसे important प्यार है,

जिसके बिना हर इंसान लाचार है,

जो हो तो दुनिया लगती बिल्कुल आसान,

और ना हो तो मुश्किलों से रहते परेशान,

वह प्यार एक इंसान का खुद से है,

अपने आप से, प्यार अपने मन, अपने शरीर से,

अपनी भावनाएं, अपनी बातों से,

प्यार अपने opinions, अपनी विशेषता से,

प्यार अपने आप से, अपने दिल और दिमाग से ,

प्यार अपना है, प्यार स्पेशल है | 

The moon motivation

We call the full moon full,

But we call the dark sky, not empty, but the new moon,

How subtle, beautiful and magical this concept is,

Hidden the meaning of life, universe and everything , there it is,

That every end is the beginning of something new,

And it's not the end, it's just a process,

That's meant to happen, not bad, just another phase,

A cycle that'll bring back all the good to you.

We wait for the full moon,

To soulfully brighten up the dark sky,

We wait for the new moon,

To see beautiful stars twinkling in the night sky,

One with the magic of a white sphere enlightening the world beneath the sky,

Even if it's not it's own light, 

Just reflecting someone else's, still blesses us, shows us all the way in night,

And one that even if it's dark,

Let's the stars twinkle, and make their own mark,

Even though dark, it's called new, for the new beginning,

For the times to come, with new happenings,

To make us believe, me and you,

That any end is not really the end,

It's always the start of something new.

लड़खड़ाता समय

है जो यह नज़ारा दुखों से भरा,

अस्वस्थ हैं सभी, समय जैसे लड़खड़ाके चल रहा,

बीमारियों का आंधी तूफान जैसे तहलका मचा रहा,

जीने की जंग में सांसों का बाज़ार बन रहा ।

Frontline workers, 24/7 जान हथेली पर रख,

बना रहे कईं इंसानियत की मिसालें,

लेकिन कईं और जगह,

बेयमानी की लपेट में जल रही मशालें,

दवाइयां और अस्पतालों का खर्चा,

हुआ जो इस भयावह समय में दसगुना,

रह गया गरीब की जान का मूल अमीर से दूर कितना,

व्यापार की सीमा न हो इंसानियत से परे,

धन से ऊपर काश सब इंसानों का मूल्य करें,

खबरों से अनजान ही बेहतर लगता अब,

नहीं समझ पा रहे,

क्या सच है, क्या झूठ का परदा, 

क्या अमीरों की साज़िश, क्या व्यापारियों का धंधा ।

जीतेंगे जरूर यह जंग, बस संवेदना रख घर में रहकर,

इन्सानियत के नाते, अपनी क्षमता से मदद करें,

प्रार्थना की सब स्वस्थ हो जाए जल्द ही,

फिर से मुस्कुराएं इंसान, यह दुनिया पूरी ।

Come! Let's see some secrets,

Come! Let's see some secrets,

That we all know, but tend to forget,

The secret to see the world, and look within ourselves,

To find and cherish all the goodness,

To observe and change the bad stuff present,

Come! Let's see some secrets.

Finding happiness in little things around,

Keeps our mind and body, sound,

Finding sadness in larger causes around,

Keeps our values, our life purpose bound,

We, the people can surely do miracles,

When we wear these invisible spectacles.

Happiness in little things, seems only easy to say,

But believe, it won't be so tough,

Let's think it in a simpler way,

It's all around, 

In a yummy breakfast with family, 

A delicious lunch with colleagues,

Or a simple dinner with close friends,

We are nothing, but really really lucky to have.

Under the warm sun or by a fireside in chilling winters,

Vacations fun and ice creams with loved ones in summers,

Chai and pakode in monsoon rains,

Green lands and overflowing dams,

The beauty of tress, hills, rivers, mountains and all that the world has,

We are lucky to be able to see, hear, speak, feel, do all we can,

There are human beings who can't do these,

Every minute, day and year, normal life is precious to have.

Watching the plants grow and flowers bloom,

At their own pace, so calm and cool,

The clouds, their ever changing sizes and shapes,

The sky, it's innumerous beautiful shades,

The lightnings, the rains and the snow falls,

Come in their own seasons each year, not to worry at all,

The sunrise from dawn to dusk of sunset,

The oceanic waves at their fullest on full moon to their slowest on new moon days,

Deciphering, what each of these trying to say,

Feels so much of goodness and inspiration it lays,

That everyone has to keep doing their own thing,

Whatever we do, dance or sing or anything,

We should just keep moving, 

Forward, embracing what we have, keep working,

For we all are a part of the universe, it's our duty,

For this world to run, each one of us is unique.

The next secret, is about finding sadness,

Where? in greater things around that need to change,

Finding sadness in causes, that are impacting the innocents,

The society, our values, the people, the future trends,

Being sad about these is the first step forward,

Working for a better tomorrow, for the greater good, is our duty, we can't stay coward,

Thinking of the sadness, there are many around,

One maybe in front of us, but same happening with millions, no count,

Someone suffering domestic violence, but not speaking,

A child working, but not studying,

Some discrimination in neighborhood happening,

On color, gender, caste or religion anything,

Kids and youth irresponsibly wasting time on devices,

Or social media creating in them extreme biases,

Poverty struck slums, barely making ends meet,

Climate change, pollution, The earth barely breathes,

Issues, there are many, a lot of food for thought,

Needs thinking, discussing, writing, working and much more,

For a change, an impact to be brought.

Art...Artists... The beauty of expressions

Hello artists, creating beautiful stuff out there,

Thinking of art, wrote something for all you there!

We write, sing or dance or act,

Paint, craft , do magic or any art we create,

I'm an artist, can relate to beings of similar kinds,

Right brainers, always in between hearts and minds,

We all, I feel are avatars of expressions,

Art is full of thoughts, a way of life, with beautiful creations,

I write to express myself, and if writing is an art form, 

Expressing thoughts and views is where the art is born,

In any way one likes, no limits it binds,

One question I come across every time I write,

Should I write for myself, or for my readers views and likes,

Will it be boring, common, preachy, or too disliked,

Or am I writing the same thing every time,

But this is what I feel, why shouldn't I write,

I feel this is my form, thoughts and expressions of my life,

Yes, I feel blessed to have readers giving their valuable feedback,

Lots of learning, improvement and positivity from them I fetch,

Art always grows, by both positive and critical comments,

The viewers, their time, interest and opinions are a treasure we get,

Thank you all for your time, appreciations and valuable suggestions,

Please keep reading, hope my work grabs your attention,

It's a lovely feeling, to express yourself,

Expressing in any way we can, really helps oneself,

Expression of thoughts sends positivity both outside and to our insides,

Art is beautiful, so are artists, and their hearts and minds. 

A cow, a plastic bag, and some thoughts around!

Something happened recently that really got my stomach hurt,

I was at a distance, ran and tried to stop it, but couldn't do much,

There I was, watching something that shouldn't have happened,

But it happens, daily, thousand times or more, feels saddened,

A cow eating a plastic, trying hard to chew, but couldn't, so swallowed,

Seeing it live, that plastic struck through my stomach, my heart it hollowed,

Felt like I too might be eating something that's harmful I never know,

Adulteration, artificial cheap stuff might be running the food business we don't know,

If not that, we might simply be drinking the milk from those cows,

The world comes back in full cycle somehow,

We're destroying the nature that we were born, and we depend upon,

The garbage, plastic, pollution or any harmful thing that we carry on,

Will surely harm us next, coz it's the same nature we eat, drink and live upon,  

Felt like it's us, we are the cause, for this blunder happening to nature,

It's not about one plastic or one cow, it's about every natural creature.

Be it an animal eating something harmful,

Created or used by us,

Or a bird, who is getting hurt, or losing it's home,

Because of the doings by us,

Or a forest or a tree that's destroyed, 

Due to actions by us humans,

Or this land, the earth, being dumped by tons of garbage everyday, 

Only because of us.

These creatures can't speak or think,

Can't do anything to control their surroundings,

But we have brains, can think, speak and act, 

And they are our fellow living beings,

The earth's responsibility lies with it's intelligent humans,

It's a duty, if not fulfilled, will shatter our mother earth and coming generations. 

A child, is a child! Education is his/her right!

 A child, is a child,

Born in a family or environment of any kind,

Urban or rural, upper class or lower,

Literate or illiterate, rich or poor,

For a child, education is a right!

A child, is a child,

If he/she goes to work in an industry,

Doesn't go to a school to study,

If he/she begs on the crossroads,

Or goes to work in the households,

It's not only theirs, It's our fight,

That we aren't able to get them their right!

A child, is a child,

The slums, the poors, the underprivileged rurals,

Won't ever come out of the sad spiral,

If their child doesn't study and learn,

If their child goes to work, for the family to earn,

The spiral will continue, the situation won't ever change, 

The next gen child will also face the conditions same!

A child, is a child,

Education is his/her right,

If you are reading this and remember a child,

Who you saw somewhere, working and not studying,

Then you are very heartful and kind,

If you are reading this and want to make a difference,

Find a child, help him/her start studying, 

Make this world feel your beautiful presence!

In a household poor or unprivileged,

Even if one child gets educated,

Can change the next so many generations,

In effect, changes our own society's conditions,

Gets the family out of the sad spiral,

A child's studies, then a good employment, 

The inspirations can surely go viral,

Do your bit, create an impact,

You can change the country's future in fact!  

 

 

 

Aren't we humans? Has our humanity surrendered?

Recently, an innocent little girl was brutally raped and murdered,

The reality strikes hard, but aren't we humans? Has our humanity surrendered?

A serious worry is that the world is not even worrying,

About what’s happening to our fellow human beings,

It’s not about one girl, It’s about every other person,

Who is being tortured or harassed, physically or mentally by another human,

Aren't we humans? Can’t we feel emotions and pain of someone’s cries?

Aren't we humans? Doesn’t seem far that our humanity completely dies!

 

This is about every being that we come across,

Known or unknown, friend or acquaintance, anyone in our lives we cross,

May be a hungry child on the roadside,

Or a blind person in the need for a hand to guide,

Or a child working in glass factory risking his life for a day’s meal,

Or an underprivileged discriminated person unable to find work,

Just because for the employer, his colour, caste, religion etc is a big deal,

All these people, even more, we find every other day,

We all already have empathy, just a little effort shall change someone’s day!

 

When even one human being suffers a pain,

Be it a rape, murder, harassment, torture, discrimination or disdain,

Or even the smallest of the behavior that’s inhumane,

Our humanity dies every second this happens,

The world gets shattered, loses its precious compassion,

The criminals should surely be punished the hardest of all,

Examples need to be set, by us, before the next generation crawls,

The laws should worry the most about justice to all these victims,

Each passing day the justice gets delayed, another criminal’s motivation kicks in!

Be it lawmakers, law implementers, a common man , a criminal, a victim or the victim's family,

Each one of us has emotions and pain, empathy and compassion, inside ourselves surely, 

Still these crimes are happening everywhere, criminals roaming freely, shouldn't we be shattered?

Aren't we humans? Has our humanity really surrendered?

 

 

Flowers!

Oh these flowers, so peaceful to eyes they seem,

Colorful beauty amidst the shades of green,

They come and go, fall and grow,

Tell me everyday is new and different,

Do your best, and trust the flow,

Some days, there are no signs of color and flowers,

But the beautiful buds afterwards are surely worth the wait of days and hours, 

When in lack of hopes, these new born buds smile and wave,

Thank you mother nature, what an inspiration you gave,

Feels like there's always something good for tomorrow,

Just keep working, it'll all be worth it, even if today's sorrow,

Watching them grow into flowers blooming,

Is like finding the meaning of life, watching yourself growing,

Each one in its own way, at its own pace,

Just keeps rising and shining, to find itself, enhance and then embrace,

Then when they bend, become pale and the colors move away,

The petals fall one by one, as if change is the rule of nature, and nothing is to always stay,

The nature keeps us grounded, to value what we have,

And inspires to keep moving, fly higher, work for good and be brave,

As life is a beautiful mix of good, bad, best and worst,

Happy-sad, laugh-cry, something last in life might have in it something first.

 

A boat's thoughts

Hi, writing this on behalf of a boat. 

I started, was scared, but bold and brave,

Left my land, my peace, having a lot of guts,

Where I was comfortable, but stuck,

Left the place, the land where I was born,

For the world, the water where I was meant for,

Got out of my stationary comfort zone,

For a moving experience, that was my own,

High tides, cyclones, rains and so many ups and downs,

But I kept moving, I kept floating,

Never let myself down,

There are days with sunshine,

Showing me what path to drive,

And nights full of darkness,

Teaching me how to just keep calm and survive,

I see full moons and new moons,

Both showing me the phases of life,

But both giving me the next direction to strive,

Made friends with water and winds,

Who made me float, flow and swing,

Gave me the pathway to my life ahead,

Figuring out what, how, where next,

Now there was no looking back,

Time to time, I stopped to rest,

At the land, my peace, my birthplace,

To visit my inside self, to look back, where it all began,

Full of fun with rush and craze,

Proud of my journey so far,

Being excited, scared but brave,

I want to flow, float and keep moving, keep raising my bars.

हां हैं अलग, पर गलत नहीं

हां मैं हूं अलग, पर गलत नहीं,

हां कुछ कमियां है मुझमें, पर अच्छाईयां भी है कई,

आप सब जैसे साधारण मैं नहीं,

लेकिन असाधारण होना कोई बुरी बात भी तो नहीं,

हां प्रकृति ने बनाया मुझे कुछ अलग,

लेकिन उसी प्रकृति ने ज़रूर दिया होगा मुझे कुछ विशेष हुनर,

हां मैं हूं अलग, पर गलत नहीं |

है मेरे जैसे कई असाधारण बच्चे बड़े और बूढ़े,

कुछ अपाहिज, कुछ गूंगे बेहरे या अंधे,

शारीरिक या मानसिक, विकलांगता हो कोई भी,

असमर्थ कोई नहीं, अपार क्षमता है सभी की,

बस चाहिए एक समान अपनापन और प्यार,

पढ़ना है हमें साधारण स्कूल में, 

करना है हमें साधारण व्यवहार,

कोई करता है जब हमें साधारण लोगों या जगहों से अलग,

मानो हम इंसान नहीं, प्राणी है कोई अलग ,

पर अपनापन,प्यार, हुनर, भावनाएं हममें भी कम नहीं,

हां हम अलग है, पर गलत नहीं ।

सिर्फ विकलांग या असाधारण नहीं,

अनेकों है जिन्हे यह विश्व स्वीकारता नहीं,

गोरों के देश में काले, या कालों के देश में गोरे,

अनेक रंग में बट जाते हम, फिर भले ही हो सभी भूरे,

एक जाती दूसरी जाती को,

या कोई धर्म दूसरे धर्म को,

एक इंसान एक इंसान को,

जब समझेगा ना सभी को अपना,

मुस्कुराएगा यह हमारी छत जो  आसमान,

पूरा होगा तब उसका इस विश्व एक घर का सपना ।

Co-existence

Driving through my street everyday,

A cow and a dog, sleeping, always block my way,

Some days, I blow horn, throw light,

To wake them up, and get them out right,

Some days, I take an alternate way,

Looking at them peacefully,

Thinking, let's not disturb them today,

Some days, I blame them for blocking the road,

Get frustrated, curse them, and wish they're seen no more,

Some days, I abuse them and wake them up by my horn and lights,

They get back on me, barking and mooing,

But those innocent creatures, trying and crying,

Get away finally, thinking this world is only human's rights.

All these days got me thinking,

This world , the earth , as a whole, coexists,

Then why can't we, as humans, coexist,

From wild shrubs to ornamental plants,

Thorny bushes to dense forests,

Wild animals , birds and even insects,

If the nature itself can coexist,

Why do humans differ amongst themselves I think,

Some black, some brown , some white,

Some rich, poor or any other basis of divide,

Some tall, short, huge, small, fat or thin,

Brains and hearts can never be implied by body or skin.

Coexistence is the nature's own law,

Be it human, plant, animal or even nature itself,

We can't , and shouldn't deny or withdraw,

All of us, are here to be together,

Living peacefully , respecting other species and lives,

Another human, plant or an animal,

Each one of us has its own rights,

We all are here, have our own different feature,

Some similarities, some differences,

On the outsides, and even insides,

The only option for us is to coexist and respect every creature.

You are not alone!

You are not alone,

Yes, there are tough times,

But we have good people besides,

Yes, there are sad happenings,

But there are happy memories,

Yes, you have fought very hard,

But never give up, be your life's guard,

You are not alone, my friend. 

You are not alone,

Yes, it's tough to express out at times,

But please, talk it out, at least try,

Yes, you can always cry,

Show your emotions, please don't hide,

You'll always get people to talk and guide,

Never give up, stand by your own side,

Your are not alone , my friend.

We are not alone,

Yes, we meet many people in our day,

Hi, how are you, hope all well, we all say,

If we feel something's wrong, even if not,

Say we are there for you, no matter what,

It might not sound so great,

But surely will bring a smile on their face,

Will make them feel confident,

With us, this world, and people near them,

Listen to them who are in need,

Patiently, just keep listening and you'll help them indeed,

No matter what, we are there with them,

Just keep saying it, to people we meet,

We are not alone, is a great way to greet.

Mental health is to be recognized,

People suffering are to be identified,

Just like any other disease,

Not to be ashamed of any of these,

Depression, anxiety, traumas, disorders, 

There are many,

We don't know, all or any,

We don't know how the patient is feeling,

Just get them a professional consultation, for their well being,

I'll just repeat, keep saying,

We'll be there for you, express your feelings.

खिड़कियां, पुरानी और नई

समय बदल रहा आस पास हमारे जैसे,

हमारे घरोँ की खिड़कियां भी बदल रही वैसे,

पहले घर बैठे देखते खिड़कयों से हम,

मैदान में खेल रहे बच्चों को,

हस्ते खिलखिलाते, याद करते अपना बचपन,

आते जाते पड़ोसियों और दोस्तों के,

हाल पूछते निकलता दिन भर,

अपने जो पास है , उनसे बतिया कर,

और जो दूर हैं, उन्हें याद करके ।

समय बदल रहा आस पास हमारे जैसे,

हमारे घरोँ की खिड़कियां भी बदल रही वैसे,

नई खिड़कियां हम सबके हाथों में,

कुछ मेज़ पर रखी है, कुछ हमारी गोद में,

बहुत अच्छी कभी यह लगती,

दूर बैठे अपनों से मिलना ,

पूरे संसार का ज्ञान ले पाना,

विश्व के सारे लोगों से मिल पाना,

दुनिया में किसी से कुछ भी हो सीखना,

और किसी को कुछ भी सिखाना,

कोई कला, नौकरी, पढ़ाई या फिर सब कुछ,

एक उंगली पे मुमकिन हो जाना,

सोचा ना कभी ऐसा भी था होना |

बदली खिड़कियां, बदले इनके अंदाज़,

पहले दिखते थे आते जाते इंसान,

अब दिखती हैं सिर्फ उनकी बनाई पहचान,

इन खिड़कियों से सच्चाई ढूंढ़ पाना, बिल्कुल नहीं आसान,

असली या नकली, मिथ्या या वास्तविक,

सच हो या झूठ, या फिर हो कुछ भी और, 

बस देखना दिखाना बन गया इस जीवन का दौर,

पहले खुले रहते थे हमारी खिड़कियां दरवाज़े,

सभी क लिए, हो जरूरतमंद या कोई अपने,

मुश्किल हुआ अब समझ पाना, 

किसे reply और किसे ignore करें ।

खबरें आती पहले अखबारों में, प्रतिदिन,

छापना होता महंगा, आसानी से दिखती सच्चाई,

बदलने में खबरों को, लगता कम से कम एक दिन,

आज इन खिड़कियों से , हर पल इतनी खबरें है आती,

हर क्षण बदलती, लिख देता कोई कुछ भी, 

अखबारों और किताबों को नहीं यह भाती।

खोलते ही यह खिड़कियां,

लग जाता है ढेर ,

खबर, आर्टिकल, फोटो , वीडियो का,

क्या है वास्तविक, और क्या विज्ञापन,

इसी भ्रम में गुम हो कर,

इस ढेर में से थोडा कुछ देखकर,

फिर बंद कर देते हैं खिड़की,

इस आशा में कि अगली बार खोलेंगे,

मिलेगा कुछ नया, कुछ मीठा कुछ नमकीन,

विज्ञापनों से विचलित हम होकर,

नहीं समझ पाते, क्या है जरूरत, नहीं खानी है ठोकर ।

बहुत कुछ अलग है इन नई खिड़कियों में,

लिखने को है इतना,

कि फिर सोच में पड़ जाएंगे मन में,

आशा है कि हम इन खिड़कियों को,

सच्चाई और अच्छाई की ओर ले जाएं,

झूठ और नकली को परख पाएं,

और फिर से एक बार अपनों और जरूरतमंदों को ,

नए तरीकों से इन नई खिड़कियों से भी जान पाएं।

Yes, I should go there!

There are moments and decisions in life when we want to take the road not taken, or do something different, or go somewhere unknown, for something better, for some goals that we had set for our lives, and our closed ones are scared for us going there, because they love us , they care for us. 

This is for us who want blessings , not fear and smiles not tears from our loved ones. 

Wrote originally for a student wanting to go to a university far away in an unknown city to study , but I think this might help everyone who face something similar. 

Yes, I should go there,

I know that's not usual,

But going there is very crucial,

I know that's a road not yet taken,

But that's all that makes a difference happen,

Yes, I should go there,

I know how you feel,

I understand your heartbeat,

When the place I am going seems unknown,

You love me, care for me, I've always known,

I feel you're very scared,

That makes me deeply sad,

But please try to understand,

Your happiness boosts my confidence,

Your encouragement gives me strength,

It's an opportunity I have fought hard for,

And an achievement that we have wished long for,

A place that's a dream to be,

A step ahead which a great future ahead sees,

Just smile , bless and say yes,

Yes, I should go there.

There always lies something good,

Ahead of a tough choice,

I promise you will be proud later and rejoice,

I will make all of this worth it,

When we all will scream and admit,

It was great that I went there. 

Don't worry!!

When I , you, or any of us is unhappy because of something or someone that we can't do anything about and feel helpless, I have written below something for them. Please read as if some power, god or nature is saying you all of this when you are sad . I wish you to be happy always but if in case you are facing some difficult situations, hope this helps in your times of unhappiness. :)

Oh dear , my lovely child,

You are so loving and kind,

You are beautiful, I'm saying by heart,

Don't worry my child, never fall apart,

Seek happiness inside yourself,

Don't cry because of anything outside,

You are luckier than many on the other sides,

Not all things we can control ourselves,

Don't get sad because of someone else,

You are the one living your life,

Leading a successful, cherishing life,

So happily, luckily with all your close humans,

Then why seek happiness in some other thing or a human,

You will surely get all your wants one day,

Just relax, be happy with yourself for today,

Believe in yourself, I know you do,

Just keep reminding yourself everyday,

That you are the best in whatever you do,

No one can look down on you,

And if someone does, will surely regret it too,

I know you my child, from inside out,

You will get the best, I am saying it out loud.

PS : Wrote this for a friend initially when she was sad!

Nature, Earth and Environment : The sapiens' parents

Happy world environment day!!

 

We all got to take birth,

On this wonderful earth,

We all got to grow up better,

With this ever giving nature,

We all got to eat food and get nutrition,

With our very own trees and plantations,

We all got to quench our thirst and drink water,

With our mountains, oceans and rivers,

We all got to do all we want to,

With the resources we all have access to,

The earth, nature and environment,

Like parents, they have brought all of us up,

As guardians, they have cared, gave us all,

As our shield, protected us from hazards all,

We, sapiens, developed civilizations,

Built some unbelievable creations,

Did everything possible with our strength and brains,

To survive, live the best life, powerful we became,

Yes, change is the rule of nature,

Growth and developments all are essential,

And very important for this world's survival,

But till we don't give back to our parents,

Nature, this earth and the environment,

Till we aren't responsible and care for them,

This cycle of life , won't complete then,

Which might get really bad soon,

We won't leave a good place for the next generations,

If we don't do this now, it will get worse soon,

Given the current numbers and situations,

Given the current rate of decline of our parents' health,

This world, as a whole, soon won't have any strength,

This is the time that they need us badly,

And we can surely change ourselves,

Our lifestyle to keep them safe, happy and healthy,

 

So, Let's pledge to do this for our parents,

Let's give back and take care of them, the earth, nature and environment,

Let's try to consciously use the resources we have,

Let's try to plant a tree, or take care of the ones we have,

Let's try to keep our earth green and clean,

Let's not waste and do more reuse, reduce and recycle,

Let's just do our bit in any way we can.

 

Thank you

Time

I have to do this ,
I have to do that,
Oh! How busy I am,
No time to even chit chat,
Watching money plant grow by my window,
Though we don't have any money seeds to sow,
Just wondering how would the world be,
If I had the plant of time beside me,
We could take some time out,
All the problems would subside down,
We would grow and pluck our own time,
It wouldn't matter if it's six or nine,
Oh ! I am getting late for office,
Let me fetch some time from the plant ,
All sorted for us,
Having time in our hands,
The clock would feel sad,
With crying minute and hour hand,
The clock would wonder what has happened here,
The time of chaos, is very near ,
The chaos of time , is everywhere,
One thing, that paces this earth,
One thing, that syncs all of us,
Is this thing we call time,
Which we all follow, everytime and anytime,
From this earth's first breath,
The time has been the superpower,
And it will be till eternity, till the earth's death,
We all have in ourselves, the cycle of time,
From the core to the crust,
Even the sun and the moon,
The plants, animals, the birds,
Each one of us, each cell of us , of this earth, with time, dissipates,
Even the non livings deprecate,
The time, the great superpower, no one appreciates,
The day when we value time,
The hour when we'll be punctual for life,
The minute when we'll listen, and value other's time,
The second when we'll appreciate this gift of life, and this given time,
Will be the time of change,
A change towards something better,
When we'll do it now , not later,
All what we want to think, do, learn and spread,
When we'll surprise ourselves, and not procrastinate,
When the minute to hour to day, ours or others, we won't waste,
It's good sometimes to take rest,
Because it brings out in us , the best,
Rest doesn't mean loss of time,
It means preparing to gain more from the next line of time,
Surprise , work now , not later,
Because we all have to work for something better.

Happy International Labours Day

Here's a loud cheer !
To all those who don't fear,
Don't see around,
This is for you dear,
It's a big applause,
To all of us running for this cause,
To all of us ,
Who are working day by day,
To make this world,
A better place to stay,
Each one of us,
Is in itself a labourer,
In the creation of this beautiful world,
From daily wage labourers to businessmen,
From artists to professionals,
From parents to grandparents to children,
We all , minute by minute ,
Contribute to this creation,
We think, we work,
We teach , we learn,
And that is how,
We grow this world,
This labours day,
Let's congratulate everyone in the bay,
Let's become happier each day,
And stay positive all the way,
This world, is our responsibility,
To make it better is our personal duty,
Let's pledge to think about environment sustainability,
Let's dissolve all our negativity,
Let's remove all the discriminations from society,
Let's be open, empowered and fearless,
Let's think and do humanity
In our everyday processes,
Let us all smile seeing a better future,
And be proud of our contribution,
To make this world a better space,
And thank everyone for the roles they've played.
Happy International Labours Day to all of us!

प्रेरणा

सिखाया स्वामी विवेकानंद ने हम सभी को,
उठो , जागो , और तब तक ना रुको ,
जब तक लक्ष्य न प्राप्त हो जाये,
है यह सीख इतनी अनमोल,
जिसे याद करके हर मुश्किल आसान हो जाये,
हो जंग चाहे कितनी भी कठिन,
जब तक न हो मन में कोई भावना हीन,
कोई भी न रोक पाए जाने से लक्ष्य के करीब,
रखना विश्वास अटूट खुद पर,
करना कड़ी मेहनत इतनी की,
खुद की नज़रों में चढ़ जाओ तुम,
न रखना हथियार कभी नीचे,
बस साहस और कर्म में हो जाओ गुम,
है तुम्हारे पास ज़िन्दगी यह सिर्फ एक,
करने है तुम्हे अच्छे कर्म अनेक,
चढ़ जाओ वह पहाड़,
निकालो एक जुनूनी दहाड़,
कि थम जाए यह जहान,
छू जाओ आसमान,
कर सकते हो तुम,
वह मेहनत, वह सिँचाई
पा सकते हो तुम,
वह लक्ष्य, वह ऊँचाई,
होंगे पूरे वह सपने सारे,
रह गए हैं जो , अधूरे अंदर तुम्हारे,
लाओगे तुम इस दुनिया में बदलाव,
छोड़ोगे तुम इस संसार में अपनी अनोखी छाप,
बनोगे तुम, नन्हे बच्चों के आदर्श,
करोगे तुम सभी के अंतर्मन को स्पर्श,
बस रखना विश्वास स्वयँ पर,
खुद की सोच और कड़ी मेहनत पर,
और इस संसार, इस समय पर,
हो अगर यह विश्वास,
ज़रूर कर जाओगे तुम वह सब,
होगा तुमने जितना सोचा भी नहीं अपने लिए,
कर जाओगे तुम वह सब अपने, और इस संसार के लिए,
पा जाओगे , छू जाओगे तुम वह सब |

दिल, दिमाग, समय और समाज

दिल , दिमाग , समय और समाज,
यही सब चलाते ज़िन्दगी का कामकाज,
दिल चाहता है अपनी राह खुद बनाने को,
दिमाग देता एक आकार उस राह पर जाने को,
समाज बतलाता उस राह को सही या गलत,
पर समय, इन सब से जो है ऊपर,
आराम से कहता , रखो सब सब्र,
दिल होता परेशान, कब आएगा सही समय,
दिमाग समझाता , ऐसी ही है जिंदगी की लय,
समाज देता विभिन्न तरह के राय ,
फिर दिल कहता , यही है सही समय,
समय अपने आप पे विश्वास का ,
समय एक कदम बढ़ाने का ,
जो कदम हो सोच की बदलाव का,
कभी ना समझा किसी की सोच को गलत,
ना कभी ठहराया खुद को समाज से अलग,
बस रखना चाही खुद की एक सोच,
आशा रखी, समाज ना समझे इसे कोई बोझ,
खुद समाज का एक अंग है हम,
बस चाहते एक कदम बदलाव की ओर,
ताकि चल सके हम सभी समय के साथ,
हो इस बदलाव में सभी का आशीर्वाद,
एक बदलाव, जिसमें हो सब एक साथ,
न कोई पक्षपात, न कोई भेदभाव,
हो आस पास सभी अपने ,
देखे सब साथ विकास के सपने,
कोशिश करें दूर करने की सभी का दुख,
हो पाए सभी के जीवन में सुख,
कर पाए अपने हिस्से का योगदान,
इस विकास की ओर, मुश्किल लेकिन जरूरी,
पर अगर हो सबका साथ, ज़रूर हो जाएगा आसान ।

सफर और दोस्ती

इन सुंदर वादियों में,
इन लहरों की तेज रफ्तार में,
इस घने जंगल में,
इस विशाल समुद्र के किनारे पे,
लगता ऐसे ,
जैसे बनाया हो चित्र किसीने,
जैसे हो कला किसी अदृश्य शक्ति की,
जैसे रंग भर रहा हो कोई आसमान से,
जैसे कोई कलाकार हो इस हवा में,
कितना प्यारा है यह समय,
कितनी सुहानी है इस जगह की लय,
लेकिन यह सफर, न है यह जगह,
यह सफर है यह दोस्त, यह साथी,
जो भर देते हैं इस सफर में जान,
जिनके साथ लगती हर मुश्किल आसान,
जिनके होने से लगता आब सही,
जिनसे फैलती है हमेशा खुशी,
जो होते हमेशा अपने साथ,
जिनके सामने हैं हम एक खुली किताब,
जो जानते हमारे सारे ख्वाब,
जिनके साथ सफर है बचपन से,
जिनका साथ है हमेशा इस ज़िन्दगी से,
जिनके सामने हुम् रह सकते कमीने,
और आज़मा सकते हर तरह की तरकीबें,
दोस्ती , है एक ऐसा तौफा,
कुछ अलग, कुछ अनोखा सा ।

Thank you guys ,
So much for being there,
So much for taking such care,
So much for these many years ,
So much that this friendship cheers.

अनेकता में एकता

अनेकता में एकता होती यहां काश,
ना कभी कोई करता अपने आप की तलाश,
कर पाते सब हर इंसान को प्रणाम,
होते सभी लोग, सभी के लिए समान,
न कोई जाति , न कोई रंग, न ही कोई लिंग का होता अभिमान,
करते सब सभी का आदर,
अहम, राग , द्वेष रखने वालों का होता अनादर,
न हो अहम कभी अपने धर्म का,
न कभी हो अनादर किसी और के धर्म का,
सिखाते हैं सभी धर्म एक ही सिद्धान्त,
सादा जीवन , उच्च विचार, जीवन उपरांत,
हो गीता , क़ुरान, बाइबिल, या कोई भी धर्म की किताब,
लिखी है सभी में एक ही बात,
अच्छे सोच और अच्छे कर्म ही रहते हैं साथ,
होता कितना सुंदर अगर समझ पाते यह सब,
ना होती मुश्किलें जो है यहाँ अब,
काश होता हम सब के नाम के आगे India, भारत, Human या इंसान,
तो न करता कोई भी जाति या धर्म से अपनी पहचान,
पहचाने जाते हम अपने देश से,
अपनी इंसानियत से,
जहाँ भी जाते , सभी होते अपने,
देख पाते हम हर जगह,
समझ पाते सभी धर्म, सभी लोगों को,
कर पाते पूरे सारे सपने,
होती पहचान स्वयँ से,
न कोई जाति , न कोई धर्म से,
होती अलग कितनी यह दुनिया,
होती हर जगह भरपूर खुशियाँ,
हर इंसान, हर धर्म, हर रंग,
हर जाति, हर लिंग को है आदर मेरा,
बस एक आशा है, न हो इन सब का अहंकार कहीं,
देख पाए अगर हम एक देश, एक इंसानियत सभी में,
दुनिया होगी विकसित, रहेगी कोई बुराई नहीं |

विश्वास

विश्वास, खुद पर होना,
है इतना ज़रूरी,
जितनी महत्वपूर्ण हमारे जीवन के लिए,
है यह दुनिया पूरी,
शक्ति तुम्हारे अंदर है अपार,
बस तुम्हे अपने आप से करना है प्यार,
विश्वास, खुद पर रखना,
में कर सकता हूँ, यह सोच कायम रखना,
कभी पहाड़, कभी खाई,
मिलती रहेगी कुछ दिन, कुछ हफ्ते, या जीवन भर,
हमारा कर्तव्य है चलते रहना,
न कभी रुकना , बस चलते रहना,
विश्वास , खुद पर हमेशा रखना,
न कभी नीचे , न पीछे देखना,
में कर सकता हूँ यह सोचना,
परिवार और दोस्तों का प्यार याद करना,
उनका तुम में विश्वास याद करना,
सृश्टि भी हमेशा साथ देगी,
बस खुद पर विश्वास हो बुलंद इतना |

Happy Republic Day India!

Stay happy! Stay strong

Apno se itna khafa rehna sehat k liye hai hanikarak ,
Life mein jo log close hai,
Unse baat krna hota hai khud ko labhdayak ,
Life is like a sine ,full of ups and downs,
We should be like cos,
Up when the sine is down,
Ups make us happy,
Downs make us strong,
But with people always there with you in these ups and downs,
Your family and friends,
Are your strongest strength,
Don't ever go far from them,
Talk to them,
Be yourself as they will always be there,
No matter what's the life's test.

Love

Love, a feeling so beautiful deep inside,
That nothing else matters than being by ones side,
Love, a feeling that is so pure,
That we feel our every problem has a cure,
Love, an emotion that connects two hearts,
That distance also refuses to take them apart,
Love, a feeling that makes you care indefinitely,
That if the better half isn't okay, u feel sad terribly,
Love, a sentiment that makes u feel the most special in the world,
And you try to make them feel the most special in the world,
Love, a feeling that u smile in their happiness,
U cry in their sadness,
U laugh in their joy,
U are proud of and celebrate their achievements,
U share life's all the special moments,
U pray for their well being,
Love, a happening that brightens your personality,
A feeling that lets you grow tougher, and better,
digs out your creativity,
A feeling that changes arrogance into patience,
Dullness into craziness,
With whom u can be your true version,
With whom u feel you're the luckiest person,
A feeling that teaches us to go the extra mile,
For happiness of others,
That teaches us to be a good human being,
And live happily with others, and live for others.
Such is the love within all of us ,
Such is the love of us with ourselves,
Such is the love of our parents,
Such is the love of us with our family,
Such should be the love spreading in the world.

Family

A bonding so natural,
A relation so adorable,
Connected by the roots,
Flowing in us,
Are the same core values,
All we are,
So many miles apart,
Still we feel the same connection,
Even with less interaction,
The love for each other is ever incremental,
Whenever we meet,
Family functions, festivals,
All the happy times , and sad times,
We all unite, being there for each other, in all times,
We celebrate in each other's happiness,
Support in each other's sadness,
So many miles apart,
Busy in our lives,
Connected by our hearts,
We all know that we have a strong support system,
Our family, that will be there for us, no matter what happens,
Being in a different city ,
Far from our loved family,
Missing all the childhood memories,
I still feel really lucky ,
To be backed by my support system,
My strong family ,
Love you all.

Family : For the generations, from the generations

क्या खूब बनायी यह दुनिया कुदरत ने,
भाग्यशाली हैं हम इस जीवन के ,
जो दिया हमे इस प्यारे से परिवार ने,
सिखाया बड़ो को करना आदर ,
छोटों को करना खूब सारा स्नेह ,
हमेशा साथ देने का किया वादा,
चाहे कुछ भी हो अगर,
कभी कंधे ना ऊँचे करना अभिमान से ,
ना कभी सर झुकाना डर से,
सिखाया हमें आप सब ने,
कदम कदम चलना ,
पहला शब्द बोलना,
पहला अक्षर लिखना,
दुनिया के सारे शब्द भी ना कर पाए इस देन का मुकाबला ,
एक एक सीख आपकी,
जिससे हुई हमारी तरक्की,
है अनमोल इस प्यारे से जीवन को बनाने के लिए ,
दोस्तों को हम बताते बड़े गर्व से ,
अपने मम्मी पापा और आप सब की कहानियां,
की भर दी है आप सभी ने हमारे जीवन में खुशियां,
द्यन्य है तकदीर का,
जो जन्म लिया हमने इस प्यारे से परिवार में,
वादा है आप बड़ों से ,
हमेशा रहेगा गर्व अप्पको हम पे,
आप सबके अनुभव सिखाते हाँ बोहोत कुछ अच्छा ,
लेकिन यह समय की तेज़ रफ़्तार ,
यह पीढ़ियों के बीच का अंतराल,
है बड़ी ही उलझन,
न चाहते हम कोई भी अड़चन,
एक सोच है यह हमारी,
बस एक आशा है हमारी ,
की एक बात कह सके पुरे आदर के साथ ,
की अपने तरीके से जीना अपना जीवन ,
कभी ना करता है किसी का अनादर,
चाहे कोई भी हो निर्णय ,
करना होता इंसान को स्वयं से परिचय ,
नौकरी, पढाई , शादी, या सिर्फ एक साधारण सा दिन बिताने का तरीका ,
हो सकता है अलग अलग सबका ,
न कोई भी है गलत,
चाहे बड़े हो या छोटे ,
यह परिणाम बस अलग अलग समय के होते ,
बस खुश रहना चाहते हैं खुद से ,
ना चाहते हैं रखना कोई ख्वाहिश अधूरी ,
ताकि जी सके जिंदगी एक संतोष से पूरी,
ताकि भविष्य में ना ले शब्द काश,
ना अपने आप न किसी को दें दोष,
चाहे आगे हो कुछ भी ,
बस हो ज़िम्मेदारी स्वयं की,
कोशिश है करने की हर तमन्ना पूरी ,
स्वयं और अपने परिवार की ,
न कभी पीछे मुड़के देखना चाहते कोई राह अधूरी,
उड़ना चाहते ,दौड़ना चाहते,
लेकिन ना चाहते करना अनादर , न किसी को ठेस,
खुद के विचार रखना न हो गलत,
न झुकाएँ कोई शान,
बस कोशिश है बनने की एक अच्छा  इंसान,
जब तक खुश रहे यह अंतर मन,
खुशहाल रहे यह पूरा जीवन ,
हमेशा रहेंगे आपके दिशाएं और संस्कार हमारे साथ,
जो भी करे हम इस जीवन में,
बस चाहते हैं आप सभी का भरोसा और साथ |

बचपन : इतना प्यारा , इतना सुन्दर

कदम , इस दुनिया में जब रखा ,
ज़हन, इस शरीर का जाग उठा,
दुनिया ने कहलाया उसे बचपन,
सभी की खुशियों का था वह कारन,
मन में हंसना , मन में रोना ,
आता था उस बचपन को ,
सपनो में खुश होना,
अनजान होकर प्यारी सी नींद में,
एक सुन्दर सी मुस्कान से ,
बहलाता  सभी  के दिल को,
अनजान इस दुनिया की जंग से ,
अनजान  इस संसार के जीवन से,
वह बचपन , इतना प्यारा , इतना सुन्दर |

पूछता था सवाल इतने साफ़ दिल से ,
सवाल ऐसे के पूछ रहा हो कोई सितारा, दूर संसार से,
की कोई भी ना ढूंढ पाए वह जवाब,
लेकिन कोई मना भी ना कर पाए जवाब से,
हस्ते सब , उन सवालों पर,
लेकिन नाज़ करते उन  नादानियों पर,
सवाल पूछने की वह मासूम कला,
जो बचपन में होती अपार,
धीरे धीरे यह वास्तविकताएं , यह सीमाएं ,
ले जाती यह मासूमियत दूर दराज ,
दे जाती हमें अनुभव ,
पर भूल जाते हम देखा सीमाओं के पार,
वह बचपन , इतना प्यारा , इतना सुन्दर |

देता था जवाब इतने शुद्ध मन से ,
की कोई अनुभवी भी न समझ पाए,
सब रह जाते दांग,
इतनी नादान सोच देखकर,
वह बचपन , इतना प्यारा , इतना सुन्दर |

हँसता था, सभी को हंसाता था ,
रोता  था, पर कुछ ही देर में फिर हंसने लगता  ,
न कोई राग द्वेष ,
न कोई लालच, न कोई लालसाएं विशेष ,
इतना प्यारा था, इतना सुन्दर था,
वह साधारण मन, वह निराला बचपन ,
सभी को एक समान देखता ,
न कोई भेदभाव , न प्यार का कोई आभाव ,
न ऊंच नीच की समझ ,
न कोई डर , न कोई घमंड ,
इतना सुन्दर , इतना प्यारा था वह बचपन  |

काश वह बचपन , ढूंढ पाते हम फिर से,
इतने सालों के अनुभव, से मिल जाये अगर वह बचपन की नादानियाँ ,
तो भर जाएँगी हर जगह खुशियां,
काश हंस पाते हम बिना सोचे समझे ,
पूछ पाते वह सवाल फिर से,
ढूंढ पाते वह जवाब फिर से,
कर पाते प्यार सारे संसार से ,
बिना कुछ सोचे , बिना कुछ समझे,
एक ऐसा जीवन, जिसमें हो सभी के लिए  प्यार ,
खुशियों का ना हो आभाव ,
और न किसी  के लिए भेदभाव ,
आइये ढूंढे वह बचपन हम सभी में ,
जो बनाता है हमे एक सच्चा, साधारण , प्यारा सा इंसान ,
जो है  हमारे इस जीवन की मजबूत जड़ें ,
ढूंढ लिया जो हमने वह बचपन फिर से,
मिला दिया उसे हमने अपने अनुभवों से ,
भर जाएगी यह दुनिया खुशियों से ,
होगी सभी के चेहरों पर मुस्कान,
न होगा कोई दुखी, सभी लाएंगे एक दूसरे के लिए मुस्कान ,
इतना सुन्दर , इतना प्यारा था वह बचपन  |

A world view, through the contrasts

Two souls, on their exciting journey to the earth,

Taking birth exactly same day same time,

The only difference was the address, where they reached,

One, let's call him A, born in a palace, in a golden cradle,

Another, let's call him B, born in a street, in a home, without even a table,

Talk before their landing on earth was so strong,

That they'll be in touch for life long,

Will share everything with each other,

Both wanted to survey the world, with a view totally unbiased,

Started this trip just to record their experiences on earth, doing all the trials,

Neither of them knew the meaning of rich or poor,

Nor they knew the value of gold, or the the concept of rupee or dollar,

Neither they knew, they had to give something like money to get something like food,

Nor they knew that even getting water required giving an exchange,

Devoid of any presumption and knowledge of material things,

They started exploring, explaining their surroundings, to each other,

With their magical, invisible telephone rings,

A said, I see so few people in this huge house,

B said, I see 5 people living in one small room,

A told, so many fruits and food being thrown everyday,

B told how people worked day and night just to get some rice for the family, for the day.

A wondered, so much of water is being wasted everyday,

B experienced, drinking less and saving water for everyone in the bay,
A told, I see people around standing just to serve me,
B told, people serving each others , sharing everything in the lack of resources I see,

 A and B, went to the school, 

Studied the principals of physics with all the tools,

Physics said the system must go in the direction of equilibrium,

If not , the system crash will be very near,

A and B , related physics to the system of the world,

Equilibrium, explained, resources must flow from high pressure to low pressure,

To maintain the pace and the peace in this system of the world, 

And not destroy the precious treasure,

This world system might crash,

If the resources don't come towards the equilibrium,

No one in this world , would ever have the triumph,

It should not be a competition , to survive,

It should be a team project, to let the earth be live,

The world , being a team, can create a difference, for the earth, the people of the earth,

And then, every living being shall be the worth.
