एक तू ही नहीं दिल लगाने के लिए जीने के बहाने यहाँ और भी हैं; तेरे नगमों पे मैं क्यूँ नाचूँ भला थिरकने को मेरे पास तराने और भी हैं। ताज़े ज़ख्मों का क्या इलाज़ करोगे अब तुम्हारे ही दिए कुछ दर्द पुराने और भी हैं। ना रही अगर मैं जो दुनियाँ में तेरी तो क्या गम है, कहने को तो तुझे रिश्ते निभाने और भी हैं। कीमत तो अब समझ ली होगी मेरी मोहब्बत की तूने, या फिर अहसास चाहत के जताने और भी हैं।

I am fond of reading books; and because of this love I am famous in my locality as well as at my workplace. In search of books which are of different kind than the normal ones;I reached to a big public library and told the librarian about my choice. He stared  and directed me towards the caretaker. The caretaker was an old man and was busy in arranging books alphabeticaly. I reached him and told the same thing. Without paying attention, he told me to take the stairs. I did the same. Over there on that floor I went through the different sections of the books which were covered by a thick layer of dust; but nothing caught my attention. Suddenly I got myself stopped by a strangely covered book on the top right corner of a shelf; which seemed as if it would fall down. The book was wrapped in a brown colour cloth. It was looking really old and dirty. The book looked heavy but I tried to pick it up from the shelf. The moment I caught hold of the book, a secret door behind my back was sudde

क्यूँ बांधा बंधन में मुझको? मेरी आज़ादी खल गयी तुझको? क्यूँ बांधा बंधन में मुझको? स्वछन्द विचरती थी मैं खग सी सारी दुनिया थी नभ मग सी था मिला बसेरा नन्दन में  मुझको क्यूँ बांधा बंधन में मुझको? क्या मैंने तेरा नियम तोड़ा? तेरे जग को असमय छोड़ा? मैंने ढूंढा चन्दन में तुझको क्यों बांधा बंधन में मुझको? दाता तू तो है महान मन में छुपा तू लेता जान फिर क्यों डाला क्रन्दन में मुझको क्यूं बांधा बंधन में मुझको? मैंने किसी का बुरा न चाहा कभी किसी से कुछ ना माँगा क्यूँ न बसाया स्पंदन में  मुझको? क्यूँ बांधा बंधन में मुझको? मेरी आज़ादी खल गयी तुझको क्यूँ बांधा बंधन में मुझको??

Life today is full of formalities. People love doing it and also praise the one who does it. I too got trapped several times in this problem. Now a days people expect calls in response to the calls and messages in response to the same. What to do if I am not competent in this business. But another side of the coin is that the scene is different when it comes to friends. Friends generally do not mind if we call them once in a month or twice or do not call at all but when it comes to our near and dear relatives then they create a big scene. They start complaining and teaching you the ways to deal people as if you are an insane or a person who is devoid of intelligence at all. My god! Why these things happen? It is wisely said by someone- "Man is born free but chained everywhere."

  Silence means the absence of noise or sound. The word   has been interpreted differently by different people and culture.  According to cultural norms silence could be positive or negative. In spirituality the inner stillness or the silence within is considered of high value. This inner stillness means to be in contact with the divine.    It is also believed that to be silent is better when one does not know the answer because he who does not know how to be silent will not know how to speak. A good listener is a good speaker and one can only be a good listener when he/she knows the benefits of being silent at the places required. Walter Begehot once said, “An inability to stay quiet is one of the most conspicuous failings of Mankind.” The people in modern scenario consider themselves superior to others and think that they will be defeated if they keep quiet at a particular instance and it hurts their ego too. A famous thinker said " Soon silence will have passed into legend.&q

1. मैं एक शख्स हूँ जिसका अंदाज़ तुम हो, मेरी ज़िंदगी एक मुसाफ़िर है उसका जहाज़ तुम हो, मन में जो हलचल है उसका राज़ तुम हो, जिसकी धुन अच्छी लगे वो साज़ तुम हो, हर पल अपनी सी लगने वाली आवाज़ तुम हो, मैं अंत हूँ तो आगाज़ तुम हो, मैं बेजोड़ हूँ तो लाजवाब तुम हो । 2. अपनी यादों को मुझ तक आने से रोक लो यूँ पल पल में ज़िन्दगी गुज़र जाने से रोक लो, आ जाओ कि अब शाम हो चुकी है, मेरी सारी उम्मीदें तमाम हो चुकी हैं, मेरी सांसों को टूट कर बिखर जाने से रोक लो, यूँ पल पल में जिंदगी गुज़र जाने से रोक लो। 3. जागना तो उन्हें आज सारी रात होगा आज सपनों में उनके मेरा साथ होगा ऐ दिल ज़रा धड़कना धीरे तो कर आ जाने दे वो पल फिर तेरा हिसाब होगा पहले तो आ के उन्हें पास है बैठना शुरू बातों का सिलसिला उसके बाद होगा दूरियां नजदीकियों में बदलेंगी तब तय सदियों का फासला पल में आज होगा पहले वादा तो कर लें, न जाएँगे वो बस सांसों का मेरे आगाज़ यही होगा।

राह में चलते हुए क्या उस पगली को देखा है, जिसके माथे पे एक प्रश्नवाचक रेखा है? मैले कपड़ों में लिपटी वो बस एक स्त्री नहीं है, उसके बदन पे होने वाले अत्याचारों की इतिश्री नहीं है। न जाने कितनी और सिसकियाँ उसके गले से निकलनी बाकी हैं, भीड़ भरी जगहों पे उसे कराहते देखना तो बस एक झाँकी है। कुछ लोगों का मन उस असहाय को देख कर पसीज जाता है, पर सहारा दे कर विवादों को निमंत्रण देना कौन चाहता है? उसका घायल शरीर और विकृत मन हमेशा तड़पता है, और आँखें मानो पूछ रही हों क्या यही मानवता है? क्या यही मानवता है?

एक बार एक पति ने अपनी पत्नी से पूछा, बोलो प्रिये आज क्या है तुम्हारी इच्छा? पत्नी तब झट से बोली स्वामी एक हो तो बताऊ, अपनी सारी समस्या इसी वक्त कैसे समझाऊ। वैसे अगर आप कहते हैं तो  ठीक है, सुनो मेरा किचेन डिपार्टमेंट थोड़ा वीक है। सबसे पहले तो जाओ और चाय बना क्र लाओ, फिर मैं बताती हूँ और तुम मेरे पैर दबाओ। पति महोदय गए और चाय बना कर लाए, फिर बोले- अब कहो प्रिये जो तुम्हारे मन को भाए। पत्नी ने चाय की चुस्की ली और मुस्कुराई, बोली- स्वामी आज नहीं आएगी काम वाली बाई। अब तो मुझे भूख भी लग आयी है और मिस्टर वर्मा ने भी मुझे आवाज़ लगाई है। मेरी नीली वाली साड़ी ज़रा आलमारी से लाना, आज पार्टी है और मुझे सज सँवर कर है जाना। एक वही तो हैं जो मुझे गौर से सुनते हैं, मेरी और मेरे कपडों की तारीफ करते हैं। इस पर पति महोदय साड़ी ले कर आए, पत्नी को देखा और थोड़ा मुस्कुराए। फिर बोले- प्रिये यही तो मैं चाहता हूँ की तुम जाओ और मै अकेला पाऊ। ठीक तुम्हारे जाने के बाद मैं भी तैयार हो जाऊ और मिसेज वर्मा को अपने घर बुलाऊ।

I am always in forlay But I am sad about that day The day when we'll depart To meet you can't teach any art. My heart is lambent And also keeps sentiments But now it is futile to think about In myself are a lot of doubt. Only you can understand all my inlay I don't think from my heart you'll be away Your grandeur in my life can not be told This affection will remain fresh and never will be old. May god give you the intent of life Be a good person and be the best wife.

Your thoughts divert my attention, Because for you I have a humble cession. The incarnation of ours is happened for each other, We'll never depart and will always live together. The days without you have now become deplorable, In telling the consequences I am unable. Want to keep you but can't in possession, Because for you I have a humble cession. Because for you I have a humble cession.

Great minds speak Love connects the souls, But lust is actually now a days Supreme of our goals. It has become now prime of our intentions, God himself must be ashamed of his own creations. The world currently is full of spirits evil, Difficult very it is to save little angels from devils. Devils in the form of human faces, Who are found full of inhuman traces. Physical attraction is at the peak of its status, Innocent flowers are furious, who is going to save us? The mothers are scared and fathers horrified, How will we save our buds from this tide? Anywhere going alone will become a dream, The monsters outside will be ready with their team. Who is going to suggest a way to come out, Will it end or diminish, is a very big doubt. Is a very big doubt.....

इस मन में है क्या छुपा,किससे कहूँ? मुझे तुझमें है क्या मिला, किससे कहूँ? मैं छाँव हूँ, तू धूप है, मैं शब्द हूँ, तू रूप है, तुझ संग बस मैं ही मैं किससे कहूँ? तुझ बिन मैं कुछ नहीं किससे कहूँ? तेरा प्यार है तो मैं सबसे सुन्दर हूँ, भरे हों दुर्लभ मोती वो गहरा समुन्दर हूँ रह न पाऊँ बिन तेरे किससे कहूँ? मुझे तुझमें है क्या मिला किससे कहूँ?

You are the jewel as I told you, You are my love well as I told you. Relieved my pains and admired my gains, Suggested me new ways and introduced to shining rays, You killed my tensions as I told you. And nurtured my emotions as I told you. Either a day or night, In the clouds or sun bright, Filled my heart with joy, Amused me like a new toy, You are my soul as I told you, You are the jewel as I told you...

अकल के थोड़े कम पर मन के सच्चे थे, कितना अच्छा था जब हम सब बच्चे थे। खेल -खिलौने ,कथा -कहानी, बुआ चाची दादी नानी, सब प्यारे थे सारे कितने अच्छे थे, कितना अच्छा था जब हम सब बच्चे थे। खूब उछलना,खूब खेलना, रोना गाना ख़ुशी मनाना, नन्हें थे पर सोच के थोड़े कच्चे थे, कितना अच्छा था जब हम सब बच्चे थे।

                                                                 When teachers shout at the students or scold them for a certain reason, the students think that the teachers want to humiliate them but this is not the scene. Most of the students of today’s generation must be of the same view. But dear students this is completely wrong. When the teachers scold you then it means that there is something in your behavior which is unacceptable. The teachers want to mould you better; better for a difficult and competitive life ahead; the life which is full of unfavourable conditions. The teachers just want you to learn something from their experience. They want to see you a successful and good human being; not a deviated and confused creature i.e. the person who does not know what to do and what to avoid. Many of you must be thinking that how can teachers decide what is good for a particular student and what is bad. To make this aspect clear I would like to tell you that the teachers a

मैंने तुमसे क्या  माँगा? एक छोटी सी दुनिया मांगी, जिसमें मेरे सपने हों हँसते गाते ख़ुशी मानते सारे मेरे अपने हों ऊँचा ये आकाश न माँगा न मांगी नदिया गंभीर हरे भरे ये वृक्ष न मांगे जो हरते जन जन की पीर हे दाता तुम हो महान उच्चकोटि और प्रतिभावान दे दो मेरा स्वप्न सलोना जिसका हो मेरा हर कोना तुम देते हो हर्ष सभी को तुम ही देते हो संताप फिर क्यूँ बना रखा है  तुमने नश्वर जीवन को अभिशाप अब हमको वो शक्ति दे दो न्याय धर्म पे जो ले जाए, छल बल गुण से मुक्ति दे दो ये सब बस पीछे रह जाए, ये सब बस पीछे रह जाए।

I could not understand the modifications around, And thought myself fully safe and sound. But now the reality is revealed to me, And came to understand and to see, They who were near, Were not very dear. But in face of a human they were wild, They let me realize that still I am a child. The child of nature born liberal but chained, Lost at all stages but never gained.

They say l am reserved,they say l am too possessive, l can not handle the world outside well. But my dear you were the people who wanted me to be like this and you made me so.Now, after years you started finding faults with my attitude which was once praised as well as created by you. You wanted me to be in limits,the limits which were decided by you; and now when l have become habitual of that then you complain that l do not want to participate in affairs which were supposed to be solely yours and l was not supposed to jump in between. Can't you remember how well you taught me about my limitations? Sorry, l am trying but finding myself unable to do so. l am what l am. Do not compare me with anyone. I am not a Xerox copy l am original and unique of my own kind. I know l am full of various shortcomings and time to time l want to rectify that too.But l can not change myself completely and become a new one.For this my dear l will have to born again  and for this l will have to die; y

                                                      Annual Function Diversity is an important factor in school life. Without vigour and stimulation the student life becomes uninteresting and tedious. Therefore almost all the schools celebrate their annual functions. These kinds of functions add colour to a student‟s life. Annual functions also help the schools to bring out and nurture the hidden talents in their students. Keeping all the above things in mind our school too celebrated its annual day in the month of November. Along with it annual prize ceremony was also held. Prizes were given away to the students who showed their extraordinary excellence in various academic, sports and co-curricular activities; at command level, cluster level and inter-school level.The duration of the function was of three days, from 19th to 21st November 2013. On the very first day the students of the school were called to enjoy the programme and the second day was reserved for their parents, who

Every body wonders what I want to be! What I want to do, what I want to see. Why am I upset with the world so sweet Why don't I like the home so neat. I don't want to bless them nor give them the pain. Only want to tell that I  want to be a child again. The world was beautiful when I was a child I loved the cozy bed and the shower mild

खाली बैठना भी बड़ा अज़ीब होता है, पर खयाली पुलाव पकाना तभी तो नसीब होता है। जा पहुंचा मैं एक दिन गंगा नदी के घाट, नावों पे केवट बैठे थे लगा के अपनी ठाट। मैं भी बैठ गया रेती पे,लगा देखने सपने, अकस्मात बिजली चमकाई तभी भयानक नभ ने। मैने कहा अभी थम जा तू खोने जरा दे मुझको, खालीपन पाया मैंने तो क्या होता है तुझको? नभ ने मेरी एक न मानी,घन,घन,घन बरसाया, अच्छा भला था बैठा, उसने मुझको खूब भिगाया। भागा मैं सरपट जा पहुंचा घने पेड़ के नीचे, जहाँ खड़े थे मुन्नी,राजू अपनी  आँखें मींचे। मन ने सोचा ये भी शायद खाली बैठे उकताए थे, मेरी तरह ही दिवा स्वप्न को वो भी बाहर आये थे। रुक गयी बारिश थम गया पानी, निकल पड़ा मैं घर को, जैसे भीगी चिड़िया उड़ने को झाड़ रही हो पर को। फिर सोचा घर पे जाकर मैं तीर कौन सा मारूंगा? कभी फर्श और मेज़ कभी तो पर्दों को ही झाडूंगा। बेहतर होगा जो मैं जाकर अड्डा कहीं लगाऊ, खो जाऊ फिर से सपनों में और पुलाव पकाऊ। जाने को फिर बाग में मैंने अपना रस्ता मोड़ा, घर जाने के निर्णय को फिर बीच राह में छोड़ा। हरा भरा था बाग हो रहा पंछियों का शोर था, फूलों की खुशबू थी हवा में और प्

Away from the time and away from the space, You would now be under the god's special grace, How are we living here without your essence, This is truly unbearable to feel your absence. Our hearts lament to see once again your face, But you would now be under the god's special grace. (These lines I had written a few years ago when a near relative of mine left the world at an early stage..)

Return if you could my golden childhood. My tears, my smile and my eyes, Whose sparkling glow for my mom was a prize, Only eating chocolates not asking for food,  Return if you could my golden childhood. The careless days and carefree nights, Going to school wearing blue and white, Never thinking what was bad and what was good, Return if you could my golden childhood. Roaming here and there without any tension, Being more naughtier when not getting attention,   Playing with stones and sticks from the wood, Return if you could my golden childhood. My mother's affection and my father's love, The heart felt like a freely flying dove. They cared me then and now I should, Return if you could my golden childhood. Crawling,jumping and walking along the roads, Following butterflies, chasing frogs and toads, It was the happiest phase of life to conclude, Return if you could my golden childhood. That beautiful frock and colourful shoes, Waiting for a chance be

याद करती हूँ तुम्ही को जब किसी की याद आती है, जिंदगी की हर ज़रूरत अब तुम्हारे बाद आती है। होती है कुछ यूँ सुबह कि तुम पास होते हो, अब तो रात भी हरदम तुम्हारे साथ आती है। जाने क्या हो गया नजर में तुम ही रहते हो, अब तो साँस भी मेरी तुम्हें आवाज देती है, अब तो साँस भी मेरी तुम्हें आवाज देती है।

sometimes i pray for the night ,  not to be followed by morning as i do not want to face the realities of my life the realities.. which shatter me daily hurt my natural emotions regularly my utmost desire tried hard to inspire the feeliNg to live and keep faith i tried i failed and tried and failed now i realize the zenith availed.

among the mob,felt forlorn yet a familiar face was worn by me on my face full of dying emotions perhaps i was one of the most deserted creations. almighty you sent me to the world unknown nothing belongs to me here which i have won. what was your choice and what intentions in leaving me at the place full of modulations. you sent me original and i tried to remain that but everybody cursed me and you just sat. now enough is enough,i want to run away i do not have  strenght now nor the courage to pay. the one whom i trusted is revealed to be at an uncoverable distance unable i am to bear all these not only for this instance. i am not a coward to assasin your offering but will decamp the scene of what i am not a being neither our choices nor ends to match, how to survive together and let the heart catch?

Still Not Awaken Things are planned but not executed, Voices coming up are forcefully muted, Whosoever tries for a change is prosecuted, With lust and greed the world is polluted, O my god! what is happening here? Nothing is visible as well as clear, The awful demon is spreading its arms, Stealing faith and looting charms. No value is given to a truthful oration, The giant is spoiling the colourful decoration. Each heart laments and is sated with pain, All of us feel cheated and no one is in gain. Then who the beast is here and snitching us all, Is it the poor ceiling or the mightly wall? The trust is meddled and the souls are shaken, The conscience sleeping is still not awaken, The conscience sleeping is still not awaken.

“सपनों में आ जाते हो” हर रोज़ अन्धेरा होते ही, मन पर बिन उड़ने लगता है, क्या करुं समर्पित तुमको मैं, ये बातें करने लगता है. अपनी प्यारी मीठी बातों में तुम भी मुझको उलझाते हो, क्यूं सपनों में आ जाते हो? क्यूं सपनों में आ जाते हो? तेरे कंधों पे सर रख कर, मैं दूर कहीं खो जाती हूं, बाकी दुनियां के लोगों को फिर आस पास ना पाती हूं. मेरे मन के सूनेपन को तुम यादों से भर जाते हो, क्यूं सपनों में आ जाते हो? क्यूं सपनों में आ जाते हो? पर जब ये आंखें खुलती हैं, सच्चाई से तब मिलती हैं. तुम आस पास ना होते हो, जाने किस धुन में खो जाते हो, क्यूं सपनों में आ जाते हो? क्यूं सपनों में आ जाते हो? प्रियंका दीक्षित “अनुग्रह”

मुद्दतें बीत गईं उनको ये समझाने में हमसा ना पाओगे इस जमाने में दिल की हसरतों की कदर भी ना की गयी उनसे वो लेते हैं शुकुन बस हमें सताने में. वक्त था जब अपना तो वो करीब भी ना आ सके, हम उनके दिल का एक कोना भी ना चुरा सके, अब ये आलम है कि बस मैं हूं और मेरा गम है, अब रहा ना कोई और इस जमाने में. काश हम पहले ही कुछ बेबाक हो जाते, इजहार- ए- इश्क ने एक सदी लगाई ना होती, जो अपनी थी वो चीज वो पराई ना होती, दिल में दर्द का सैलाब इस कदर ना उठता, अब तो बरसों लग जाएंगे इसे मिटाने में. अब तो बरसों लग जाएंगे इसे मिटाने मे……………

All of us have listened about ghostly spirits and a few of us believe it  too. I personally never believed in these kinds of tales before I had an encounter with an unknown power. I, with my family had shifted to a new area which was totally new for me as well as my family and we didn’t know much about the place. It was a hot summer night and due to continuous power cut, I was sleeping in my room with both the windows open. Possibly it was the time of midnight and I was sleeping soundly and had covered my body with a light bed sheet to protect myself from mosquitoes. Suddenly I felt a strong wind blowing into the room through the open windows. Surprisingly I started feeling very cold. That kind of feeling was certainly undesirable during the summer season. It made me to wake up but still I was lying in bed. Suddenly I felt someone or something trying to pull my bed sheet away. I avoided that as I thought it to be just because of the strong wind. It occurred for sometimes and then s

                               Why do we love? The question is all above           That why do we love. Sometimes a person, Sometimes an animal, Sometimes a gesture, Sometimes a vehicle, Sometimes reptiles And sometimes a dove, Why do we love? We love our family, We love our friends, We love our starting, And our ends, Sometimes a straight line, Sometimes a curve, Why do we love? Sometimes being coy, And sometimes a whirl, Sometimes a boy, And sometimes a girl, Sometimes a grasshopper, Sometimes a cub, Why do we love? We love our sorrow, We love our pain, We love our losses, We love our gain, Sometimes we stand straight, Sometimes we bow, Why do we love?

And he went away He came and gave me a little bit of smile, And he went away. Neither could recollect my wonderful memories, Nor could find my way, And he went away. The time was not enough to love and be loved, Couldn’t reveal what wanted to say, And he went away. Again there’s solitude and lots of grief, Ever-growing sorrow not giving chance to feel gay, And he went away. O’ my love, my life and my strength, To reduce the distance is all that I pray, And he went away. To control the senses is easy but emotions, is difficult; I sit, I work or I lay, And he went away.

         “ मुझे नहीं पता ” मुझे नहीं पता कि प्यार क्या है , खुशियों भरा एक जीवन , एक संसार क्या है   मुझे नहीं पता कि प्यार क्या है , मांगे थे तन्हाई के बस दो पल उस्के साथ , पर उसने रखने ना दिया कांधे पर भी हाथ , किसी भी चीज की इतनी भी हठ यार क्या है ? मुझे नहीं पता कि प्यार क्या है . हर दिन , हर पल मुझे दोषी होने का एहसास दिलाया , क्या ऊपर वाला मुझमें कुछ भी अच्छा ना दे पाया ? कुछ न कुछ शिकायत मुझसे हर बार क्या है ? मुझे नहीं पता कि प्यार क्या है , न जाने कितने दिन , कितने महीने बीत गये , तब तो दूर थे ही , अब और भी दूर हो गये , फिर भी मेरे अन्दर उसके लिये ही ये पुकार क्या है ? मुझे नहीं पता कि प्यार क्या है ,                                             ( प्रि .)
