बे-इंतेहा मोहब्बत तुझसे

है मुझे अपनी दिल मे नाज भी और अफ़सोस भी

कम्बखत ने किया भी तो क्या, बे-इंतेहा मोहब्बत तुझसे

22nd Nov

सांसे भी परायी लग रही

मिली जो मुद्दतो बाद मोहब्बत मुझसे यूँ ,

आलम कुछ ऐसा के सांसे भी परायी लग रही ...

गंथिबंधा

२२ नबम्बर २००९  ने मेरे ब्यक्तित्व को एक नया परिचय दिया. हाला की मैं इस त्यौहार मैं शामिल नहीं था मगर मेरे लिए मुझे जुडी तमाम लोग वहाँ थे. ये कुछ और नहीं मेरी सगाई थी. मेरे यहाँ के रीती रिवाजों मैं बर की उपस्थिति जरुरी नहीं होता. परन्तु बधू का होना आबस्यक है और ओ थी भी. इस त्यौहार मैं दोनों तरफ के लोग पहली बार सबसे मिलते हैं और बर की नाम की अंगूठी,चूड़ियां और गहने बधू को पहनाई जाती है. बर के तरफ से बर की माँ ये काम करके बधू को अपना बना लेती हैं. और इन सब से पहले बर और बधू एक दुसरे को पसंद करके इस रिश्ते में अपनी सहमती व्यक्त करते हैं. गहने पहनाई के बाद लड़की या लड़के के घर खाने पिने की ब्यबस्था भी किया जाता है और सब लोग खुसी मानते हैं और नयी बधू को सुखी जीवन के लिए आशीर्वाद करते हैं....
    मैं भले ही वहां नहीं था मगर मेरा मन पुरे दिन वहीँ था और मैं अपने शुख्म मन मैं इस कल्पना मैं व्यास था के कैसी लग रही होगी मेरी मोटी और कैसा होगा वो माहोल. तय किये गए कार्यक्रम के उपरांत फिल्माई गयी चलचित्र और छबी देख के मैं बड़ा खुस हुआ. लाल रंग की साडी और गहनों से सुसज्जित मोटी मेरी माँ और दादी के बिच बैठी सबका आशीर्वाद और प्यार स्वीकार रही थी. मेरे सारे प्रियजन आनंद में मशगुल थे.

Cricket Championship Season–४ at the India Gate

“It’s a fine sunny morning and with the dew on the pitch, it seems a very good batting surface. Ball will come easily on to the bat, will allow the batsmen to play big shots. It’s expected that the ball getting older in the second half on the dry pitch, will get turn and will be quite difficult for the batting side to chase a measurable target. The toss is very crucial and the team winning it should bat first and a score near to 260+ would be a good target on this wicket…”

This is not the pitch report from the Guwahati stadium by Laxman Shivramakrishnan during 6th ODI between India & Australia , it’s my forecast for the forthcoming Cricket Championship Season–4.

Yes…… we are back with cricket kit to play some good cricket & cherish it thereafter. May it be an exciting game for jatin or a fitness mantra for me or a pure entertainment for Tapan, Varun & Nagendra or challenge for gaurav sir to come or merely a morning get together for the rest , it’s true that we will be waiting for everyone of you to bat, bowl & field with. Lets team up again and present a good game of cricket tomorrow at 6.30am at the INDIA GATE.

I am counting..
1. Gaurav Sir.
2. Jatin
3. Tapan
4. Varun
5. Barada
6. Lokendra
7. Shivendra
8. Vishwa
9. Abhishek

लिहाज़ सांसो का ...

चले बस हमारा तो ये जहाँ चुपके से छोड़ जाते

लिहाज यूँ सांसो का करते हैं और जी लेते हैं

Pareshaan thi Chintu ki wife

Pareshaan thi Chintu ki wife
Non-happening thi jo uski life
Chintu ko na milta tha aaram
Office main karta kaam hi kaam

Chintu ke boss bhi the bade cool
Promotion ko har baar jate the bhul
Par bhulte nahi the wo deadline
Kaam to karwate the roz till nine

Chintu bhi banna chata tha best
Isliye to wo nahi karta tha rest
Din raat karta wo boss ki gulami
Onsite ke ummid main deta salami

Din guzre aur guzre fir saal
Bura hota gaya Chintu ka haal
Chintu ko ab kuch yaad na rehta tha
Galti se Biwi ko Behenji kehta tha

Aakhir ek din Chintu ko samjh aaya
Aur chod di usne Onsite ki moh maya
Boss se bola, "Tum kyon satate ho ?"
"Onsite ke laddu se buddu banate ho"

"Promotion do warna chala jaunga"
"Onsite dene par bhi wapis na aunga"
Boss haans ke bola "Nahi koi baat"
"Abhi aur bhi Chintus hai mere paas"

"Yeh duniya Chintuon se bhari hai"
"Sabko bas aage badhne ki padi hai"
"Tum na karoge to kisi aur se karvaunga"
"Tumhari tarah Ek aur Chintu banaunga"

(WAKE UP CHINTU

खुदाया खामोखां क़यामत कौन झेलेगा ...

मिली मुझसे कुछ इस अदब से ज़िन्दगी के हम ख्वाबों की मोहताज़ ही ना रहे
आए जो बस एक ख़याल ही उनका जेहेन मैं तो ज़िन्दगी.... कुछ और ही हसीं होती है

Prince's glory: Silk City dances with joy...

This is a saga of daily labourers who earned their bread & butter, who came with strong mind power with spectacular dancing skills and they stunned the world with their enchanting performance. Its the "Prince Group" of my own town, the silk city who has proved that poverty cannot stop their dancing shoes go dirty. This is on Saturday when the eminent dance troop form the east cost town of Berhampur own a reality show on a private channel ( Colors ) to win the 50 lac rupees & a Maruti Car.The troop whose most participants are daily labour to earn their daily food. This shows that there is plenty of talent in the areas where people are being neglected and if given proper amenities they can excel in various fields. On Saturday night the whole town of Berhampur was awake to watch their lads clinch the winning trophy and make them proud. Big screens were arranged at prominent places in the town to hoist the show and people including top shots in the govt officers witnessed the winning performance of the troop. The 10 incarnations of Lord Vishnu was depicted in the performance which stole all hearts and won them the trophy. The players maximum of whom are daily labours were happy and little sentimental and were happy. The leader of the troop Mr.Krushna Reddy told that the prize money was a dire need of the troop as some needed it for building house or someones sister has to be married. Its just like a reincarnation for the neglected town and moreover the neglected group of people.

Om shree Ganeshay Namha...

Yesterday, Ganesh Chaturthi started with a bang all over the country... I too offered puja to the almighty lord Ganesha. Yesterday I cleaned all Idols of Ganesha and offered puja with Laddoo & Gulab Janum. Yesterday was a great day as I offered puja without any wish in mind. Ganesha too looked the most sacred yesterday and I was happy to have his blessings.

India looses to Lebanon...( ONGC Nehru Cup)

Its the football season back in Delhi and for a crowded city like delhi the game of football is less focoused. But among the football fans its a great news that the tournament is kicked of on 20th aug 2009. But for India's disappoitment we lost to Lebanon with the final score of 0-1. Although we displayed some good football in the second half an early goal in the game took away victory from us.

Lunch @ Andhra Pradesh Bhavan

It was a dull Sunday when I with my younger brother tried to experiment something and being big foodies we tried to do it on our daily lunch on 16th Aug 2009. And where we could do it, any guess??? Andhra bhavan on the outskirt of cannaught palace hoisted us and the experience was really awesome. We started from our home at around 12pm and reached Andhra Bhavan at around 1.20pm. This was our first experience in the state owned caterer. Being Sunday we found a big crowd there. A mix crowd with most south Indians and few north Indians welcomed us with a chaos to get their hunger fed. What else I could see "a couple of Sardars" were among the waiting and few on the lunch table ....my goodness i was surprised and i thought of this great race of people as somebody has rightly said that "you throw a sardar to the deepest sea on earth & he will climb up the himalayas on his own hard work". And i have well witnessed the said line and hats off to the sardars. Here as well how could the andhra bhavan escape. Anyway after standing in a long queue I managed to get two passes @ Rs 70/- each and waited for our turn. The systematic way and the smooth runningof the cafe was just amazing ane people seemed more civilized than any other resturant or cafe. There were around 300 people enjoying lunch & another 100 roaming around for their turn but everybody was cooperating and seemed happy. One guy was shouting the pertaining token numbers and allotting seats for lunch and suddenly our number came and we were asked to take a corner seat. In minutes a heavy thali with around 8 recipes were served us with papad & aachar. The food.....ah.. what a taste.After we finish our lunch we had "pans" and happily returned. Being a foodie who loves south Indian food we enjoyed the food and thanked the fellow waiters. for people like us who live away from home places like andhra bhavan are like the "aanand bazar" where out taste buds are satisfied. Frankly saying that was a great experience for us and I would recommend you all to have a taste of the food at a cost effective way. Its a family restaurant and you can accommodate your family members upto 3 generations ( grandpa till grand children) and have a southern taste & I must tell you you will love it. There in the premises you can find out more information about Tirupati Devasthanam wherein you can book hotel & travel tickets as well. So what are you waiting for ....

ॐ शं शानेस्चराय नमः

मैं बहुत बड़ा पंडित या योगी तो नहीं हूँ मगर हर कोशिश करता हूँ के धर्म कर्म मैं अपना मन लगा रखूं। मेरी इसी आदत के चलते मेरा मंदिरों मैं आना जाना लगा रहता है । पिछले शनिवार और रविवार दो दिन छुट्टी थी और मुझे शायद इसी का इंतजार था। बहूत दिनों से मेरे मन मैं एक इच्छा थी के मैं फतेहपुर के शनि धाम हो आऊं तो मुझे मौका मिल गया। शनिवार का दिन था और इससे अच्छा दिन नहीं होता तो मैं सुबह सुबह उठा और नहा धो कर तैयार हो गया। झमझम बारिश के कहते और कुछ १५ अगस्त के चलते सड़को पे लोगों की आवाजाही भी कम मिली। और मैं दोपहर एक बजे तक शनिधाम पहंच गया। वैसे तो मैं दो बार जा चुका हूँ वहां पर भगवन के घर जाना किसको अछा नहीं लगता। और फतेहपुर की विशेषता ये है की मैं जितनी भी बार वहां जाऊँ वहां की शांत और प्राकृतिक सौंदर्यभरा बातावरण मुझे जैसे स्वर्ग सा महसूस होता है। दोपहर का वक्त था इसलिए भीड़ भी कम मिली। शनि महाराज की नभशुम्वि मूर्ती की दर्शन करते ही जैसे साड़ी पीड़ा और दुखो का नाश हो गया।वहां मन्दिर के भीतर पूजा सामग्री और पूजा की बिधि का बिस्तर से बरनन किया गया है तो मुझे आसानी हुई। सभी भक्तो की तरह मैं भी पूजा की थाली हाथो मैं लिए कतार मैं खड़ा हो गयामैं एक बात और बता दूँ शनि मजराज की पूजा की विधि भी अलग होती व्फ्व्फ्ह्व्ल्फ़ फ्फ्ह्ल्सफ्ह ल्फ्ह्स्व्स क्रमानुसार पूजा अर्पण करते समय अपनी थाली मैं से गुड , कला कपड़ा,उड़द और तिल का भेट चढाना पड़ता है । मैंने भी सरे कहे गए पदार्थो को नियम पुर्बक चढाया और शनि भगवन की प्रतिमा की परिक्रमा ki .

पूजा के बाद मैं अदुसरे प्रांगन मैं गया तो वहां भक्तो की एक लम्बी कतार मिली जहाँ श्रद्धालु लाल लुंगी पहने हुए हाथो मैं सरसों का तेल लिए अपने बरी आने का प्रतीक्षा कर रहे थे और अपने बरी आने पर वे शनिदेव की मूर्ति पे तेल अर्पण कर रहे थे। और तब हर एक के जुबान से ॐ शं शानेस्चराय नमः एक स्वर मैं उस बातावरण को एक अलौकिक दिव्य रूप प्रदान कर रहा था। उस अद्भुत और मन को शान्ति देने वाली बातावरण से मैं अपने आप को कैसे दूर रख पता अतः मेरे मैं भी शनिदेव को तेल चढाने की इच्छा जगी तो मैं भी लाल लुंगी और तेल लेके वापस आ गया । वहां मन्दिर परिसर मैं स्नानघर की व्यबस्था मुझे अच्छा लगा जहाँ छोटे बड़े सारे भक्त संकोच से परे लाल लुंगी परिधान करके स्नान करके क़तर मैं बड़ी अनुशासित होके शनिदेव की आराधना मैं लीनथे। और मुझ जैसा मनुष्य को मन की शान्ति के अलावा और क्या चाहिए। मैं भी अपने आप को शनिदेव की सानिध्य मैं समर्पित कर असीम शान्ति की एक बूंद पाने की कोशिश मैं व्यस्त हो गया...

मोहब्बत क्या खूबसूरत बला है...

करके देख अये जालिम मोहब्बत क्या खूबसूरत बला है
किया है खुदाया जिसने भी ज़िन्दगी, बस उसी ने जिया है...

शिकायत ज़िन्दगी से

मुझे रही ना कोई शिकायत ना ज़िन्दगी से ना मौत से कभी

साथ तेरे जी ली ज़िन्दगी अपनी, और मौत भी जुदाई मे तेरे ...

दिल से रोने का मज़ा

रोने दे आज मुझे तू तेरी याद मे यूँ ,

दिल से रोने का मज़ा मुझे आज पता चला है ...

Rakshya Bandhan...

Yesterday was "Rakshya Bandhan" and as usual she did not call or contact me and I even if I waited for her call. Anyway I am no more serving any brotherhood to her she might be feeling ignored. Somehow a thought came in my mind to call her but I know that i have never served any brotherhood to her and that is why it may be a case when i am not eligible for a "rakhi". Whatever... its all gone now and I hope she forgets everything. Last year as well she did not call and after 4 days I got to know that she is fast for not tying a rakhi for 4 days. And finally i rushed to her office to get it done. Last to last year it was wimpy in Cannaught place(New Delhi) where I met her for the holy ritual...but this year its all gone and may the almighty "Allah" bless her richly...

इश्क पे शक

शक था शायद इश्क पे मेरे यूँ के देखो रास्ता उसने बदल लिया

बेबस जिद पे अपनी हमने भी देखो नाम अपना ही बदल लिया...

ख़ुद पे ही नाज़ है...

ख़ामोशियों की वो धीमी सी आवाज़ है ,

तन्हाइयों मे वो एक गहरा राज़ है।
मिलते नही है सबको ऐसे दोस्त ,

आप जो मिले हो तो हमे ख़ुद पे ही नाज़ है...

the Indian Rail budget 2009-10 ( Mamta Didi )

It has always been a state's story to dominate the Railway ministry and now its Bengal who is in the seat to drive the Indian Railways. Presenting the Rail budget on 3rd july 09, the newly sworn in Railway Minister Miss Mamta Banerjee unveiled an exclusive package to the eastern state of West Bengal. This is considered to be the most in terms of contribution to the bengali speaking state ever. Time has witnessed a considerable part of the budget has been bagged by the state every minster belongs to. So the railway ministry has become a lucrative one among the ministries. There are cases when minsters who denied key departments like Finance & commerce to Home affairs and have opted for the railways. What makes the railways so lucrative . Lets have a look.

Indian Railways has one of the largest and busiest rail networks in the world, transporting over 18 million passengers and more than 2 million tonnes of freight daily. It is the world's largest commercial or utility employer, with more than 1.4 million employees. The railways traverse the length and breadth of the country, covering 6,909 stations over a total route length of more than 63,327 kilometres (39,350 mi). IR owns over 200,000 (freight) wagons, 50,000 coaches and 8,000 locomotives. With 16 Railway zones and with lakhs of Employees with a huge turnover in the railways, makes IR the most sought Ministries in the cabinet. Ministers see huge Investment options in the concerned state. As its the main mean to transport for the urban & sub-urban people the popularity of the railways have always been the charm for every minister.

The trinmool Congress chief was just looking for the right move in the government & as expected she bagged the department in the newly formed UPA govt. Presenting the interim Rail budget on 3rd july 09 in the parliament miss Mamata Banerjee ( popularly known as didi) announced a bengol Oriented rail budget depriving the former Railway state of Bihar. Here are the silent features of the Railway budget.

• No change in Passenger Fares.
• Freight Rates untouched.
• One Doctor to be available on long distance trains to attend to passenger/staff medical emergencies.
• Ticket booking services to open in 800 new locations.
• 5000 Post Offices pan India to provide Railway ticket booking facility.
• 'Turant AC' sleeper trains to be introduced between major metros.
  Rs 1750 crore to be spent on Gauge conversion.
• Students to receive a 60% concession on train tickets.
• Non-stop trains to be operational soon on select routes.
• 50 Railway Stations to be built at par with international standards.
• Extension of 'Ladies Special' trains to major metros like Delhi, Kolkata Chennai.
• 50% concession for Scribes.
• Rs 81685 crore to be the estimated working expenditure.
• Kachrapara, Bengal to get new coach factory.
• Scholarship schemes for Girl child of Group B Railway employees.
• Women commandos to be increased in key routes.
• Physically challenged passengers to be accommodated in specially designed coaches.
• Increase in utility stores such as PCO/STD/ISD booths and book stores.
• Increased emphasis on security (platform and train).
• Catering facilities to be upgraded in order to address growing number of passenger complaints/feedback.
• SMS updates for waiting list status.
• Tatkal booking scheme reduced from 5 days to 2 days.
• Tatkal charges reduced from Rs150 to Rs100.
• Setting up of ATMs on 200 stations identified.
• High capacity double decker AC trains to be introduced on select routes.
• Railwas will no longer be guided by economic viability but social commitment said Mamta Banerjee.
• Cold storage facilities to be developed for farmers storing vegetables and fruits.
• New Hospitals to be Opened up for Hospital Staff.
• Indian Railways to lease out land for commercial purposes to increase revenue.
• 57 new trains to be introduced.
• 12 non-stop trains to be introduced
• 18,000 wagons to be acquired during the current year.
• Accredited journalists to get 50% rebate; also once a year with spouse.
• 1,000 MW power plant proposed in tribal area Adra.
• 'Izzat' monthly tickets of Rs25 (for up to 100 km travel) for people from the unorganised sector with an income of less than Rs1,500 per month

Out of the Newly introduced trains the number of trains only one has been given to Bihar, the former railway minister's state. Where the general public has welcomed the budget the Bihari's have condemned it saying it a bengol dominated budget where they have been discriminated. Anyway whenever its not affecting the general public in terms of the fare and number of trains its not an issue. Now ministers have knew that the general public being the customers for the IR the budgets are being dedicated to better catering to the general public and the budget are being called as " the aam admi budget". Till the time it is favouring the general public and the public is happy with the services provided by IR, its absolutely no matter whether its which minster who holds the Office.its Aam admi budget and that is enough for us....

Chote Back at home

Yesterday I asked "Chote" to come back to Delhi as I did not find the job suitable for him... without food & shelter and lack of knowledgable people will throw his career into dark. I did nto want the same,hence asked him to come back. He reached Home Yesterday and is resting today. For him & for me the job search is still on and we will close it positively very soon. in-sa-allah amen...... summa amen.

2nd July 2009 ( Ice breaking )

Yesterday was a big day for Miyaon as he got his first assaignment, his first job in life as a "Site Engineer" in Electrical manufacturing company. He was in one way happy but on the other side he was not happy as the location offered to him was out of Delhi. Today he was asked to report to office in Gurgaon. But on the Day first he was asked to go to "Kurkshetra" and he was little disappointed as he is new to Delhi & the whole outer world. He has never lived in a hostel or outside without family members. This is his first time he came out to Delhi for a job. But here too I was here for him. Now when he is asked to go to a distant place away from me he is much worried and i am sure is in a shocking condition. He was not willing to go there but I pressed him and made him understand the condition and then he was in a mood to go there. But I am too not happy now as I will be missing him and his best company here in my accomodation.

अभी भी मेरा मन नहीं मन रहा है । कहाँ जाएगा कहाँ रहेगा ये सब सोच सोच के मेरा दिल बैठा जा रहा है । हे भगवन उसे हिम्मत और सही मार्गदर्शन दें। बच्चा है वो मेरा। हमेशा वो किसी भी परेशानी से नहीं गुजरा अब भी उसे ऐसे ही रखना सारे दुःख से दूर। अये मेरे भगवन उसपे सदा आशीष बनाये रखना । उसे सफलता और सद्बुध्ही दे। मेरे जीवन मे अगर मैंने कोई भी अछा कम और पुण्य किया हो तो उसका फल उसे मिले।

Inclined towards same sex - its no more Illegal in Delhi.

In a landmark decision the Delhi High Court today legalized homosexuality. Hearing on a case filed for the gay rights Delhi High court today legalized homosexuality which earlier was considered as a crime under Indian Penal Code Section 377. Under this section people found guilty of doing unnatural or non vaginal sex acts could be punished maximum up to a life imprisonment. Hearing the Case Delhi high court made it all a legal thing.

Following this path breaking decision its for the first time an Indian court has made it a legal thing. Following many protests and showdowns for the gay rights finally people practising these acts find ways to their decision. While many Islamic organizations protesting against the act of homosexuality many independent NGO's & informal organizations have welcomed the decisions.

Most easiest DISH.

कल रात को ऑफिस से घर पहंचते पहंचते दोस्त का फ़ोन आया और बोला के मिलने आजा । मौसम भी अछा था तो मैं उसके वहां चला गया । देर तक बैठा रहा और बातें चलती रही। रात सादे आठ बजे मैं वहां से निकला और घर पहंचते पहंचते सादे नौ से ज्यादा हो चुका था। दीमाग का दही और कपड़ो का गर्मी के मारे बुरा हाल हो चुका था। खाना बनाने की मूड ना होते भी हमने खाना बनाने की थान ली ( क्यों के होटल सारेमैं पीछे छोड़ आया था). आज मैं आप लोगों को मेरी सबसे प्रिया व्यंजन बनने की बिधि बताऊंगा। इससे पहले आपको सारे चीज़ों को इकट्ठा कर लीजिये।

आलू भजा

1. दो आलू ( २५० ग्राम)
2. थोड़ा खाने का तेल
3. नमक
4. मिर्च पाउडर
5. हल्दी पाउडर

बड़े बड़े दो आलू ले लें। उनको लंबा लंबा बारीकी से काटे और पानी मैं भिगो दें।

सबसे पहले आलू अपने मर्जी से जैसे भी काटना हो वैसे काट के पानी मैं भिगो दें। एक बड़ा प्याज भी काट लीजिये। अब कडाई को बर्नर पे रखिये और गैस चालू कीजिये। अब जब कदारी थोड़ा गर्म हो जाए तब उसमे थोड़ा तेल डालिए और गरम होने पर थोड़ा जीरा और सरसों डालिए। अब इंतज़ार कीजिये सरसों उबलने का फिर उसमे कटी हुई प्याज डाक दीजिये और उससे हिलाते रहिये। प्याज कडाई मैं लाल होने तक उसे फ्री कीजिये। उसके बाद उसमें कटा हुआ आलू दाल दीजिये। अब स्वाद अनुसार हल्दी पाउडर, मिर्च पाउडर और नमक दल के अछी तरह से मिक्स कीजिये। अब एक ढक्कन से कडाई को धक् दीजिये। ठीक ३ मिनट बाद उसे फिर से अची तराह से मिक्स करो फिर आलू पकने तक इंतज़ार करो। फिट इसे गरम गरम परोसे...

भाई देखो हम कोई शेफ या खानदानी बावर्ची तो है नहीं और ना हमारी शादी भी हुई है । अब अछा लगे बुरा लगे हमें भूक को तो जड़ से समाप्त करना है ...इसलिए आँख कान बंद करके चवल या रोती के साथ खाने का मज़ा लीजिये और हमें माफ़ कीजिये। अल्लाह मालिक ...

दो लव्ज़ ही काफी है

ना तलाश थी कभी किसी हूर जन्नत की मुझे

प्यारे दो लव्ज़ ही काफी है मर मिटने के लिए...

मशहूर पॉप गायक मिचेल जैक्सन नहीं रहे

"King of POP Music" मिचेल जैक्सन अब नहीं रहे। आज उन्हें जब हॉस्पिटल मैं भरती कराया गया अतब उनको साँस लेने मैं और छाती मैं दर्द का शिकायत थी। पर डॉक्टर लोग पहले कुछ कर पाते इसे पहले उन्होंने अपनी आखरी सांसे भरी। उनके जाने से पूरे पॉप जगत मैं शोक का माहोल है। एल्विस प्रेस्ली या मडोंनाहो या और किसी भी हस्ती के तुलना मैं "जैक्सन" कहीं ऊपर थे। लगभग २० साल तक उन्होंने अपनी जादुई आवाज और स्टाइल और अंदाज़ ऐ पूरे विश्व को अपने गानों और नृत्य से नचाया। हमेशा वो अपनी गायकी और नृत्य शैली के लिए चर्चित रहे और सबके दिलो मैं अपनी एक अलग जगह बनाया था। उनके जाने से हमने सितारों के आस्मां मैं एक हमेशा जगमगाता सितारा हमेशा के लिए खो दिया है। इश्वर से प्रार्थना है की उनकी आत्मा को शान्ति दें।

था कोई बैर मुझसे मेरे रब को शायद

जो यूँ उन्हें मुझसे मिला दिया,

जी लेता सुकून से चार दिन मगर

चाहत ने उनके मुझको मिटा दिया।

मेरे रब को भी मुझसे है शिकायत

के मैं उससे दूर क्यों हो गया

पागल ये दिल और मैं लाचार

जैसे मोहब्बत को ही मेरा खुदा बना लिया...

रौशनी और अँधेरा

गम के अंधेरे मे दिल का ये दिया

रौशनी भी तुझसे और अँधेरा भी ...

जय जगन्नाथ स्वामी नयन पथगामी भाव तू मे !!

आज उड़िया बर्ष के आसाढ़ मॉस शुक्ल पक्ष्य द्वितीया आज के दिन जगत के नाथ जगन्नाथ महाप्रभु जाती भेद धर्म और संस्कृतियों से ऊपर जाके अपने श्रीमंदिर के रत्न सिंहासन से उतरके भक्तो के लिए बहार आते हैं और अपने भक्तों को आप्यायीत करते हैं। ये संस्कृति जगन्नाथ संस्कृति है जहाँ कोई बड़ा नहीं है ना कोई छोटा है ना कोई रजा है और ना कोई रंक है। यहाँ रजा भी रथ के झाडू करते हैं और रंक भी रजा के साथ भगवन को आलिंगन करता है। हजारो बरसो से ये यात्रा रथ यात्रा के नाम से पूरे बिश्व मे प्रसिद्ध है जब महाप्रभु जगन्नाथ अपने बड़े बही बलभद्र और छोटी बेहेन सुभद्रा के साथ सरे नियमो से परे अपने भक्तो से मिलने श्रीमंदिर से बाहर आते हैं। भगवान् क्या दृश्य मे तो भक्तो के बस मे हूँ वो जहाँ जिस रूप मे मुझे बुलाएँगे मे उनके भक्ति मे लीं होके वहां उस रूप मे उन्हें मिल जाता हूँ। आज के दिन जगन्नाथ महाप्रभु बड़ा दांद मे लाखों भक्तो के बीच नंदीघोष रथ मे पतीतपावन झंडा लहराते हुए अपने मौसी के मिलने जाते हैं ।

Fariyad.

aaj humne bhi gamon ko chupana sikh liya,

bhari mahfil main muskrana sikh liya,
hum to darte the gamon ka jahar peene se

par ab to gamon ko jaam samajkr peena sikh liya,
pehle to akele se hote the bheed main

par ab to tanhai main bhi rehna sikh liya,
log muskra kar de jaate the dokha kabhi

par ab to humne aankhon ko padhna sikh liya,
koi sunta hi na tha hamare dil ki aawaz ko

to humne us aawaz ko sayari main badlna sikh liya,
Khud ko bhoolne ki koshish mein,

Jab dil ye zid pe aa gaya,

Main aankh moond ke baith gaya,

par apna khayaal phir chaa gaya…
Ye dhadkan kahin ruk jaayae naa,

Meri nabz thehr naa jaaye kahin,

kismat ne Waqt kiya mera lamha lamha,

Magar maut ko aasaan bana gaya…
Meri har daleel ko kiya ansuni,

Meri fariyaad bhi to suni nahin,

Main Hairaan hu, haa Kuch Pareshaan hu,

Aisa Faislaa waqt mujhe suna gaya…
Mujhe chaand ki kabhi talab na thi,

Mujhe suraj ki bhi fikar nahi,

Bas aankh kholna hi chahatae thae ham,

Magar waqt roshni hi bujha gaya…

No one can make you serve customers well

That's because great service is a choice।

Harvey Mackay, tells a wonderful story about a cab driver that proved this point.He was waiting in line for a ride at the airport. When a cab pulled up, the first thing Harvey noticed was that the taxi was polished to a bright shine. Smartly dressed in a white shirt, black tie, and freshly pressed black slacks, the cab driver jumped out and rounded the car to open the back passenger door for Harvey .He handed my friend a laminated card and said: 'I'm Wally, your driver. While I'm loading your bags in the trunk I'd like you to read my mission statement.'Taken aback, Harvey read the card.It said: Wally's Mission Statement:To get my customers to their destination in the quickest, safest and cheapest way possible in a friendly environment.This blew Harvey away. Especially when he noticed that the inside of the cab matched the outside. Spotlessly clean!As he slid behind the wheel, Wally said, 'Would you like a cup of coffee? I have a thermos of regular and one of decaf.'My friend said jokingly, 'No, I'd prefer a soft drink.'Wally smiled and said, 'No problem. I have a cooler up front with regular and Diet Coke, water and orange juice.'Almost stuttering, Harvey said, 'I'll take a Diet Coke.' Handing him his drink, Wally said, 'If you'd like something to read, I have The Wall Street Journal, Time, Sports Illustrated and USA Today.'As they were pulling away, Wally handed my friend another laminated card, 'These are the stations I get and the music they play, if you'd like to listen to the radio.'And as if that weren't enough, Wally told Harvey that he had the air conditioning on and asked if the temperature was comfortable for him.Then he advised Harvey of the best route to his destination for that time of day. He also let him know that he'd be happy to chat and tell him about some of the sights or, if Harvey preferred, to leave him with his own thoughts.'Tell me, Wally,' my amazed friend asked the driver, 'have you always served customers like this?'Wally smiled into the rear view mirror. 'No, not always. In fact, it's only been in the last two years. My first five years driving, I spent most of my time complaining like all the rest of the cabbies do. Then I heard the personal growth guru, Wayne Dyer, on the radio one day.He had just written a book called You'll See It When You Believe It ...Dyer said that if you get up in the morning expecting to have a bad day, you'll rarely disappoint yourself. He said, 'Stop complaining! Differentiate yourself from your competition. Don't be a duck. Be an eagle. Ducks quack and complain. Eagles soar above the crowd.'''That hit me right between the eyes,' said Wally.

'Dyer was really talking about me. I was always quacking and complaining, so I decided to change my attitude and become an eagle. I looked around at the other cabs and their drivers. The cabs were dirty, the drivers were unfriendly, and the customers were unhappy. So I decided to make some changes. I put in a few at a time. When my customers responded well, I did more.''I take it that has paid off for you,' Harvey said.'It sure has,' Wally replied. 'My first year as an eagle, I doubled my income from the previous year. This year I'll probably quadruple it.You were lucky to get me today. I don't sit at cabstands anymore. My customers call me for appointments on my cell phone or leave a message on my answering machine. If I can't pick them up myself, I get a reliable cabbie friend to do it and I take a piece of the action.'Wally was phenomenal. He was running a limo service out of a Yellow Cab. I've probably told that story to more than fifty cab drivers over the years, and only two took the idea and ran with it. Whenever I go to their cities, I give them a call. The rest of the drivers quacked like ducks and told me all the reasons they couldn't do any of what I was suggesting.Wally the Cab Driver made a different choice. He decided to stop quacking like ducks and start soaring like eagles.

How about us?
Smile, and the whole world smiles with you...
The ball is in our hands!

Have a blessed day

जिंदगी से पंगा

मैंने कभी अपनेआप को प्रतिद्वंदी के रूप मैं खड़ा नहीं पाया है। अभी जब जिंदगी मुझसे दो दो हाथ कर रही है तब मैं कमर कस रहा हूँ। भले ही मैंने अपनी जिंदगी अपने शर्तो पर जिया है पर मुझे अभी तक जिंदगी मैं कुछ रूचि नहीं है। सफलता मुझ से अब भी कोशो दूर है और मैं उसे किसी भी हाल मैं हथिआय्ने में कोई कसर नहीं छोड़ना चाहता। भले मुझे जिंदगी ने खूब धोके दिए हो पर मैंने हमेशा जिंदगी को आडे हाथ लिया है। अपनी गलतियों से सीखा है और मेरे आस पास के लोगों को भी इससे आगाह किया है। अब जब जिंदगी थोडी सुस्त पड़ रही है मैंने फिर जिंदगी से पंगा लेने की कोशिश कर रहा हूँ। मेरे सर पे अब कुछ करने का जूनून सवार है। मुझे पता है अगर में अपने आई पे आ गया तो किसी मंजिल को गुलाम बनाना मेरे लिए मुश्किल बात नहीं है मगर तलाश है तो बस एक सही दिशा की है और एक मार्गदर्शक की कमी मुझे सता रही है। वैसे तो में हमशा सुभ्चिन्तकों से घिरा हुआ हूँ मगर इस नस्वर शरीर में छुपा शैतान की पहचान मुश्किल है । पर में द्रिध्प्रतिग्य हूँ और मेरा लक्ष्य अब तय दीख रहा है । मुझमें अब उमर के साथ साथ सफलता की भूख भी बढ़ रही है और में उसे हासिल करने के लिए बेताब हूँ। इश्वर करे के मुझे एक मार्गदर्शक और सफला अतिशीघ्र प्राप्त हो ।

सपनो से भरे मेरी रातें...

एक अजीब और बुरे सपने ने मुझे उठा दिया। कूलर की ठंडी हवा ने जैसे मेरा गला दबाने की कसम खा राखी थी । मैंने तुंरत पानी की दो घूँट हलक मे डाली और खुदको अकेले महफूज़ पा कर आश्वस्त हुआ। पर जाने क्यों मुझे कुछ दिनों से ऐसे सपने आ रहे हैं । क्या कुछ बुरा होनेवाला है और ये सब उसकी पुर्बाभास है । मैं तो सच मैं डरा हुआ हूँ। अभी तो कुछ भी ठीक नहीं चल रहा और अगर ये कुछ गड़बड़ होगा तो ठीक नहीं होगा । वहाँ माँ ने भी कुछ ऐसा ही सपना देखा तो सुबह फ़ोन किया था । क्या है ये क्यों ऐसा हो रहा है । मैं तो सच मैं दारा हुआ हूँ। बस एक गुजारिश है भागवान से के कुछ बुरा न हो किसी के साथ।
