जाने कभी

आज भी कभी जब तवे पर ऊँगली जल जाती है |
 ना जाने क्यों माँ की बहुत याद आती है ||

थम जाता हूँ दफ्तर का रुख करते हुए जब भी |
याद आते ही दस्तूर पिताजी का, कदम चल पड़ते है अपने आप ||

चुभते क्रेडिट कार्ड औ OTP की टुन टुन के बीच,
बरबस खींचती है ध्यान, कोने में रखी गुलक्क की खनक, आँखें मींच ||

और इसी सबके बीच autoplay ने टीवी पर चलाया

जाने कँहा मेरा जिगर गया जी। ..अभी अभी यही था किधर गया जी...

__फिर न जाने कभी __

अच्छा है अच्छा है जब तक ये बच्चा है

बच्चा  है बचपन है, बचपन का बचपना है
सच्चा है सज्जन है, सज्जन  का इम्तेहान है  |

आता है जाता है , कुछ कुछ गुन गुनाता है
मुझसे भी चलने को रोज़ ये कहता है |

तितलियों के पीछे नाहक ही भगाता है
गोदी में सर रख रोज़ ही सो जाता है  |

अच्छा है अच्छा है जब तक ये बच्चा है
सच्चा है सच्चा है मेरा ये अपना है |

घमासान

बहुत दूर तक सूनसान है, जिंदगी न जाने कब से घमासान है ।
छायी न जाने कहाँ तक उदासी है, जिंदगी बहुत रोज़ से प्यासी है ॥

बहुत रोज़ से आँखें जागी हुई है, जाने कब से बस रोई नहीं है ।
ए खुदा इन्हें थोड़ी नींद बख़्श दे, इनमे थोड़ी शर्म रख दे ॥

अनकही

शब्दों से शब्द कहते हैं
तुम्हारे बिना हम अधूरे हैं..

अब किसी और रोज़ सुनेंगे तारीफें किसी और की
आज तो नश्तरों से नश्तर तेज़ कर बैठे हैं।

अनसुनी न रहे कोई दुआ तेरी,
खुदा के साथ सवेरे से पैमाना लिए बैठे हैं।

अब बहुत हुआ ए परवरदिगार इंतज़ार तेरा,
ईंटों को सिरहाने से हम लगा बैठे हैं।

चौदहवीं के चाँद सी, सागर के उफ़ान सी,

चौदहवीं के चाँद सी, सागर के उफ़ान सी,
ओस पर थिरकती थी, गुलाब सी महकती थी,
एक परी घर में रहती थी।
जाने किसने बहका दिया, क्या क्या किसीने कह दिया
उसे लोहे का और मुझे मिट्टी का कर दिया ॥

दिल में बिठा कर बरसों, अरमानो से सहलाया था,
चाँद तारों से आँचल को सजाया था,
एक परी को साथ लाया था ।
जाने कौन उसे बहला गया, धूप में दौड़ा कर
उसे लोहे का और मुझे मिट्टी का कर दिया ॥

उम्मीद है की वो नाहक दौड़ना छोड़, खुद को समझ पायेगी
लोहे के कवच से निकल, मिट्टी में भी खिलखिलाएगी,
वो सांझ जल्दी ही आएगी ॥ वो सांझ जल्दी ही आएगी॥

Middle of Night !!!

It's middle of night, and I am up again. This is happening since last couple of days, Damn !!!! Is it stress, Am I worried or just a coincidence ???

Well, actually this is 'coz #1 I retired to bed early around 9 PM, #2 - actual reason is severe cold - and damn !!!! it blocks, clogs and congests both of my nasal passages...grrr!!!!

Tonight I woke up at 1:30 AM, and I already completed to do list to get my nose decongested (is this a proper word ?) 

The nasal sprays, the menthol stuffs, tablets, steam, heated Ajwain (carom) and what not has already been tried. Folks !!! nothing works. I do not even happen to remember how I landed into this severe condition, 

Initially I thought it's allergy, took couple of anti-allergens, didn't worked then finally I am using homeopathy treatment - yes the cute little sugar coated spheres :) which everybody loved in their childhood. I was delighted to see my kids gleam with joy when I visited doctor. 

Anyways, this medical condition is full of benefits in disguise - I now have access to unimaginable number of hours of awake-ment which I intend to use for blogging solely. I had been missing the silence, the serene and calmness around me which in reality is the trigger for all the thoughts I get and write.

and I know, once the habit to blog re-inits, it continues and keeps gaining pace....

Live your dreams....

In so many years I have seen all types of dreams...big small scary delightful ambitious quenching... and what not...

But its not long ago when I seriously started living those or began to create life simple to live those. Last week I realized how simple it is to actually simplify and live the dreams I saw...

Like the one - I used to dream to be spontaneous enough to simply walk in to the office of friend in tshirt and shorts on a working week day...have lunch...get guidance...and walk...simple...and that's exactly I did...

Thanks dear for being there ...and successfully building a company wherein friends can walk in without any hesitations what so ever.....

Then there was this uncontrollable desire to take time off from work midweek and play with both of my kids....Prakhar and Savitur....

This is bit tricky.... Its summer vacation time for Savitur and as always things are not as usual around ;) anyhow...I have to throw some weight around ...compromise on certain stuffs here ...and there I get a day squeezed...to take dual bath...enjoy carrom...play badminton...watch cartoons together... Run around the house...with Prakhar...or simply laugh aloud with Savitur....

Anyhow...folks...I only wanted to say...no dream is big ...no dream is small...it's only how one adds on efforts to live them...

Live long and live happy..here is one of the fantastic liner to end the post and summarize.. which I read on a good blog.... 'mast raho dilchasp raho'...

Park Avenue Beer Shampoo - Cheers to Man Hair

Wow...it smells as beer and foams like shampoo...truly a beer shampoo.

Today morning when I used it for the first time, and it tickled my memory with the jingle I sang so many times during early years...

O dear..O dear... 

Why to fear...why to fear
When there is beer...

So near So near....

Fear no fear..

drink another beer

No matter if life is out of Gear...
or you have lost your Pear...

No worry can ever worry you...
If you have enough beer...

Year on year..just keep adding beer...just keep adding beer...

My Dear Hirdu - Wishing you a very joyful happy birthday

!!!!...Many Many happy returns of the day Hirdu...!!!!

Today I complete many many years on the planet.., and frankly I am determined to spend many many more... :)

As I grew over the years, the desire to live more, be more alive has grown at large, more often, its the only desire left to fulfill...

Today I wish to live long enough to see my kids getting married, to see my dear wife grow old with me....to see my grandchildren, ..to be happy in future years.... to sing songs.....to tell tales.....to see new sights.....to smell new fragrances..to relish new mouth watering dishes (to hell with diabetes!!!!)......to vision new insights.....to just enjoy the joy....to just enjoy the joy..and..to just enjoy the joy....

....bless you Hirdu...you are one happy go lucky soul...enjoy the joy and live longer...

aha - another new year...

another new year is about to begin...folks...yeah...yep...that's how moments are counted...some moments are precious...and some...they just add...
another new year...
another new feel...
another new fear...
yet another thought...
another new phase...
another new praise...
some to sought...
some to sort..
some to rot...
another new struggle...
another new strut...
another if...another butt..
yet another just...
some to smile at...
some to smile with
some more to smile for...
some are sure...
some are only to roar...
some fought to core...
some emerge to only sore...
a very new fragrance...
a moment worth dying...
a moment left fertile...

that's how it's sung...
that's where it's rung...
too many sights...
let's forgive...and not fight...anyhow...

आसमानों के आगे आसमां अभी और हैं।
इन साँसों के इम्तहान अभी और हैं।

हम तो जियेंगे अभी और, जिगर थाम लो।
अगर सर में है दर्द तो झंडू बाम लो।

;) ab raat ke bareh baje...issey jayada na expect karo doston..jiyo and jeene do...enjoy the joy...'coz either there is fun in life...or life becomes funny...

and yes honey, it's really not about money...

Liar Liar

What a fantastic movie...every time I watch it...I like Jim more and more and the innocent kid even more...and each time it strengthens my belief in the innocent wish...Lord himself grants to kids more often...

and now I know why...'coz the wish a kid has are pure and simple...emphasize the word pure...

I realize it now every day when my kid Savitur asks me for something...he is simple...and pure...his wishes are simple and pure...a toffee..or a coffee...a burger (gerber he says) or a pasta...simple desire not to go to school ...'coz he want to watch his cartoon...not like mine of not going to office 'coz I am bored...or some fu*king odd reason...

so folks...be simple when you wish...they would be simply be granted... :) and yes...believe in angels and fairies ... as well...

I’ll be here waiting for him

"He’s not dead, he’s up there fixing the sun. And when he’s done he’ll be back, and I’ll be here waiting for him."

-–Lois Lane, All Star Superman, 2011

Back to Back

I do not even remember when was the last time, I watched 2 movies back to back...Tonight after returning from office...on this cold winter evening, there was nothing much to do !!! Sat in front of TV and watched

The Other end of the line - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1049405/

Wonderful Movie :) You can obviously read the story line at wikipedia...Shriya Saran was perfect...and the tagline about "being nice to nice people" touched a cord somewhere...

anyways a lovely enchanting pic after a long long time...

after a while as I finished dinner...it's time for coffee :) he he he ...Well now some people wake up with morning tea or coffee...I always want tea or coffee before sleep....and now when Rs. 300/- are already spent over cafe coffee day's Filter Coffee Maker...then... इतना तो बनता है कि रोज़ रात को काफी पीकर सोया जाये :)

so folks lo and behold as the coffee brewed....here is another movie copied for viewing pleasure....

This time it's "The Ugly Truth" - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1142988/ 

What a movie...:) I kept watching it till the end...and that is when I realized that I have seen it before sometime...however, I didn't able to recall any of the scenes...

anyways...this forgetful phenomenon has happened many times, so no worries...

My wife keeps complaining though...however the habit of forgetting is synonymous with the habit of forgiving...so it's okay to forgive and forget or to forget and forgive...I hope in Lord's court both are equally praised...coz HE keeps forgetting me and I keep forgiving him :) ...

on this note...good night...think about :) the habit of forget and forgive...it's gonna save you from many many hassles and stress...

How To Catch A Lion

I do not remember the origin of this forward email, it came long long time back... however what to post in writer's block...
It is advisable to understand the original Laws from http://www.wikipedia.org


1. Newton's Method:
Let, the lion catch you. For every action there is an equal and opposite  reaction. This implies you have  caught the lion (Assuming that you're  alive).


  2. Einstein Method:
Run in the direction opposite to that of the lion.  Due  to higher relative  velocity, the lion will also run  faster and will get  tired soon. Now you can  trap it easily.


3. Schrodinger Method:
At any given moment, there is a positive probability  that the lion should be  in the cage. So set the trap, sit down and wait.


4. Inverse Transformation Method:
We place a spherical cage in the forest and enter it.  Perform an inverse  transformation with respect to lion  Lion's in and we are out!


5. Thermodynamic Procedure:
We construct a semi-permeable membrane which allows every thing to pass in  it except the lions. Then sweep the entire forest  with  it.


6. Integration Differentiation Method:
Integrate the forest over the entire the area. The  lion is somewhere in the  result. So differentiate the result PARTIALLY w.r.t.  the lion to trace out  the lion.


7. Bohr Method:
Find a lioness. The lion would be rotating around her  in circular paths, and eventually would decrease the radius between him and  his nucleus.


8. The Moron's Method:
Tie down a goat with a tree, and wait on the tree for the lion. Hurrah! Here  comes the lion. Now as you have found it, get down and run with your goat to save it, before the lion uselessly kills it, so that you could use it next time. 

Hai Ye Maya - Don2

What a wonderful song !!!! in fantastic voice of Usha Uthup :) akhir kya hai Maya....


Listen to it: http://gaana.com/song/don-2/hai-ye-maya--remix-530300
Here are the lyrics: to sing while you listen in full volume


Na koi raat hai
Na koi din yahaan
Kya yeh andhera hai
Ki sirf hai dhuan
Aankhein dhoka khaati hain yeh kisko pata nahin
Jaane kya hai yahaan aur jaane yahaan kya nahin
Hai ye maya

Heere jo lagte hai woh
Mumkin hai angaarein ho
Chingaari lagte hai jo
Ho sakta hai taare ho
Aankhein dhoka khaati hain yeh kisko pata nahin
Jaane kya hai yahaan aur jaane yahaan kya nahin
Hai ye maya

Chehre hain sab ek se
Tu kaise pehchaanega
Dushman hai ya dost hain
Tu kaise yeh jaanega
Aankhein dhoka khaati hain yeh kisko pata nahin
Jaane kya hai yahaan aur jaane yahaan kya nahin
Hai ye maya Hai ye maya
Hai ye maya Hai ye maya

har ek friend zaroori hota hai

Airtel - Har Friend Zaroori Lyrics - A real good ad after a longtime, which I wanna watch.
Youtube Link : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkz2rHQZYPg


Chai ke Liye jaise toast hota hai--
Vaise har ek friend zaroori hota hai


Aise har ek friend zaroori hota hai
Koi subah paanch baje neend se jagaye
Koi raat ko teen baje jaan bachaye
Ek teri kadki mein sharing kare
Aur Ek tere budget mein sneak in kare
Koi nature se guest koi host hota hai


Par har ek friend zaroori hota hai


Ek ghadi ghadi kaam aaye par kabhi kabhi call kare
Ek kabhi kabhi kaam aaye aur ghadi ghadi call kare


Gossip ka koi ghoomta phirta satellite
Koi sath rahe toh kar de sab alright


Koi effortless koi forced hota hai
Lekin har ek friend zaroori hota hai


Chat Room friend koi classroom friend
Koi bike pe race wala vroom vroom friend


Shopping mall wala shopping friend
Koi Exam hall wala copying friend


Movie buddy groovy buddy
Hi buddy--Bye buddy ---Joke buddy Poke buddy
Gaana Buddy Shaana buddy ---Chaddi Buddy Yaar Buddy
Kutte --kamine--- 
Everybody---Sab buddy
A to Z Gin din ke naam bheja Roast hota hai


Par har ek friend zaroori hota hai
Lekin har ek friend zaroori hota hai

MORAL OF THE STORY:  

Duniya badal jati hai par DOST kabhi nahin badalte..

परदेसियों से न अखियाँ मिलाना

परदेसियों से न अखियाँ मिलाना - क्या होगा अगर ऐसा होगा...शायद खुदा कभी तो जवान रहा होगा और उसने तुम्हे देख कर कहा होगा "ए गुलबदन ...ए गुलबदन, फूलों सी महक कांटो सी चुभन...कहीं आज किसी से मोहब्बत न हो जाये...!!! 

कहीं इसी वज़ह से खुदा कहीं खुद ही अकेला तो नहीं रह गया ? :) 

अरे अब रात में बारह बजे ब्लॉग लिखने की कोशिश करोगे तो ऐसे हे ख्याल आयेंगे..
