मैं तुझे छूना चाहती हूँ कुछ इस तरह..
जैसे तू पूरा का पूरा बना हो सिर्फ मेरे लिए ।
मैं तेरे अंग-अंग को ऐसे स्पर्श करना चाहूँ…
जैसे मेरी साँसों को ज़रूरत हैं केवल तेरे महके हुए जज़्बातों की ।
मैं भूल के सारा जहाँ टूटना चाहूँ तेरी बॉहों में..
जैसे ये रात आखरी रात हो इश्क़ बयान करने के लिए ।
हम हमसफर नहीं तो क्या हुआ..
मैं तेरी दी हुई यादों के सहारे बिता दु इक ज़माना तन्हा ।
इतनी मोहोब्बत दे जाऊ मैं तुझे …
की हिचकी आये तो धड़कने नाम मेरा ही उकेर दे लबो पे तेरे ।
Intriguing and fascinating
”Mind over matter is simply the use of willpower to overcome obstacles. Sometimes the one thing stopping us from achieving our goals or pushing past struggles is our mind. Our mind can be our best friend or our worst enemy”
Mind over matter is a phrase that essentially refers to one’s ability to use willpower over physical limitations. While it was originally used to explain phenomena such as Telekinesis and other Paranormal constructs, it actually has a real-life meaning as well. The mind, in of itself is capable of accomplishing infinite limitations brought on by the environment. The limitations whether they be physical or mental hinder us from reaching our full potential. Therefore, it is important for us to believe that we are nothing less than powerful in our determination and grit to succeed.
While we often think of our bodies and minds as two distinct entities, it turns out they are much more entwined than we might assume. Researchers are continually finding evidence…

In February this year I met a guy who came into the room and started conversation with me. The flow was quick and I was in happiness and shock at the same time.
I still can’t believe how could I’ve met some one who is me. Not only met now, he is just few yards away each day.
He is te exact me in thoughts, talks and expressions.
आजकल!!
कुछ अलग नहीं होती है गाँव में ज़िन्दगी।
कुछ वो हैं जिन्हें पता नहीं वरना सब सपना चौधरी का नाच देखते हैं या देखना चाहते हैं, कटरीना का अनुसरण करते हैं या करना चाहते हैं, व्हाट्सएप्प पर अफवाएं पढ़ते है, फैलाते हैं, फेसबुक पर वक्त बर्बाद करते हैं। सिर्फ भारत का किसान ही है जो, अपना कीमती समय निकाल कर, इन आकर्षणों को परे रख, अपना पसीना बहाता है ताकि हम जैसे सब देशवासी भूखें ना रहे। ताकि हम जैसे देशवासी बड़े-बड़े वातानुकूलित मॉल में जाकर उसके द्वारा बोये गये फल व सब्जियां खरीदें, इंटरनेट पर खरीदें, घर के दरवाज़े पर खरीदें, या बड़ी गाड़ियों में सवार हो रेहड़ियों से खरीदें और फिर बड़े चाव से उनका पान करें। और मज़े की बात यह है कि उन स्वादिष्ट छप्पन भोग की कीमत का मात्र कुछ दशमलव हिस्सा बाज़ार ने उसकी मेहनत का मेहनताना तय कर दिया है क्योंकि वह गाँव में रहता है जहाँ के घर छोटे होते हैं कच्चे भी होते हैं वहां शौचालय तक नहीं होते, वह शहर वालों की तरह आकर्षित नहीं दिखना चाहता, वो इंस्टाग्राम पर अपनी सेल्फी नहीं डालना चाहता, वो सिनेमा में लड़की के साथ सोफे पर हाथों में हाथ डाले मज़े से बैठ पॉपकॉर्न नहीं खाना चाहता, वह गाँव में रहता है जहाँ एयर कंडीशनर की जरुरत नहीं है, जहाँ उसकी जरूरतों की कीमत ना के बराबर हैं, वह तो अपना जीवन मात्र एक सन्यासी की तरह बिताना चाहता है।
मुझे कोई इस बात का जवाब दे कि क्यों हम गाँवों को शहर न बनाएं? शहरों में गलत क्या है? शहरों में गाँव जैसी झोपड़ियां बना महँगा किराया देने में तो बहुत सुख प्राप्त होता है। कभी झोपड़ियां अच्छी लगती हैं, कभी बंगलें, कभी गगनचुम्बी इमारतें तो कभी ज़मीन से नीचे बने घर अच्छे लगते हैं।
कभी कुछ अच्छा लगा तो कभी कुछ। कभी रंगीन सिनेमा अच्छा लगा फिर जब मन ऊब गया तो सफ़ेद और काला सिनेमा अच्छा लगने लगा। जब तक मज़ा आया तब तक खूब लिया, फिर जब नहीं आया तो दूसरों को उसकी बुराईयाँ बतानी शुरू कर दी क्योंकि हर चीज़ में अच्छाई और बुराई दोनों हैं।
कभी खुद शहर में रहने-पढ़ने वाले, शहरों की आधुनिकताओं, सुविधाओं और चकाचौंध बाजार का मज़ा लेने वाले जब गाँव को शहर ना बनाने का राग अलापते है तो ऐसा लगता है जैसे जंगल का शेर दूसरें शेरों को शाकाहारी बनने की सलाह दे रहा हो।
अगर कोई गाँव को शहर नहीं बनने देना चाहता तो उसकी शहरों की परिभाषाओं में खोट है। मेरा शहर अच्छा है और मुझे शहर बहुत पसंद हैं। शहर कभी गंदे नहीं थे, शहर अच्छे ही थे और अभी भी अच्छे ही हैं, अगर गन्दे हैं तो उन्हें गन्दा बनाया है उसके नागरिकों ने। और फिर जब शहर गन्दे हो गए तो गाँव का कीचड़ भी अच्छा लगने लगा और सब चल पड़े गांव की ओर। अभी भी हर शहर गाँव ही तो है। मुझसे अब भी कोई मेरा गाँव पूछता है तो मैं मेरे शहर का नाम बता देता हूँ।
ओह्ह हो!!!!!!
कृपया करके गांव को शहर बनने दें। उन्हें भी एक नई दुनिया का अनुभव लेने दें और फिर उन्हें चुनने दें कि गाँव को गाँव बोलना है या शहर।
This is one of the beautifully written crisp piece which will make you how the opportunist like Kanhaiya brain wash a common man.
I heard Kanhaiya’s speech and it took me back to my college days when student politics wasn’t as sophisticated and oiled. When mediamen & women had not become brokers. It wasn’t limited to ideological confrontation but also involved desi katta, swords, gupties, hockey sticks, crude bombs and Rampuriya chakoos. In the midst of all this there were speeches and sloganeering by students leaders and their mentors from either Congress, ABVP or Leftist parties. Those speeches were mostly about how to make university a better place for students. Only leaders from Leftist parties used to gives speeches which were about an utopian social engineering and freedom from the state. Listening to Kanhaiya, I felt as if I was listening to a pop-version of speeches I heard many decades ago. Barring Kanhaiya’s personal mannerisms and dialect it was straight out of a communist template.
It appears that Communists have a ‘speech template’ and…

Awesome “Freaky Alley”
Beautiful graffiti art drawn by local residents of boise, and awesome photos.
On a recent solo road trip I took to visit a friend in Salt Lake City, I stopped in Boise as an interval to break up the long drive. I had never been to Boise, I honestly wasn’t quite sure what to expect except for maybe a lot of potato references. There was actually no mention of potatoes my whole time there. Instead, I met a handful of joyful and friendly residents of Boise, some of who showed me the beautiful culture of the city. One friend brought me down a road called “Freak Alley” which is a whole alleyway dedicated to graffiti art drawn by local residents. As we strolled down the alleyway, I got absolute chills (it helped that a group of three young men were in a circle in the middle of the alleyway serenading us with jazz tunes–one on drums, one on guitar and one on…

Financial knowledge has been the subject of mass negligence across the world. People don’t know the appropriate insurance scheme. They don’t even bother to know the things which can prevent them from claiming their insurance covers. Surprisingly, they trust unquestionably on some TV shows dedicated to stock trading. But such people work day and night to make large sums of money so that they can also be rich someday.Yet these people never gets enough money to free from working restlessly for money. In this process, they think smartly and invest in stocks, bonds and bank safe deposits. Some also buy gold plates for storing in their bank lockers. But ironically none of such persons ever get financial nirvana when their money work for them while they can easily enjoy drink in a posh bar of the city. Naille Ferguson has quoted a study, done in 2007, in his book The…

Great post
It has been a long time since I have written a post! I never wanted this blog to become one of those stagnant websites you come across where you check to see when the last update was and it states it was years ago. The only way I would let that happen is if I were to pass away, then it really will be a website locked in time. Although, the website address might change if I were to pass, as I am paying $18 a year for my website name (let’s be brutally honest here hah…) So here it goes, I am feeling the inspiration and flow to get some words out again.
I have been a bit silent lately because I have been dealing with some life changes and anxiety (those two really go hand in hand don’t they?) Old destructive thought patterns have been coming up for me again and I caught myself…

I was going to write about the future of intelligence but I just saw a nice graphic by The Economist on the spread of ISIS:
so I’ll write about them instead.
The main Economist article is http://www.economist.com/news/middle-east-and-africa/21656690-islamic-state-making-itself-felt-ever-more-countries-how-much-influence
I won’t summarize their article about the current state of affairs; read it yourself. I can add a few comments to highlight the future though.
Surveys on Muslim attitudes to violence consistently show that most Muslims reject violence done in the name of Islam: 65-75%. That is the numeric range that describes the reality of ‘the vast overwhelming majority of peace-loving Muslims’ we see emphasized by politicians and media whenever an Islamic terrorist act occurs, two thirds to three quarters according to when and where the surveys have been done. The last high quality survey in the UK arrived at the figure 68%, comfortably in that range. The other side of the same statistics is that 32% of British…

These are the bees,
in the honeycomb
of my head,
where they move about
and sing their song
with the flowers
on their legs,
until from my mouth
does drip,
their labors sweet,
where you have become,
the song of my heart,
the joy
in the soles of my feet.
