पिया भांवरी !!

प्रीत तुम्हारी हर युग में निभाई कभी राधा तो कभी मीरा बन आई इस युग में बता दे कहाँ हैं तेरी परछाई? बन जाऊ मैं उसकी पिया भांवरी ! तुझ जैसा खेलें वो आँख मिछोली बिन बतियाएं कर दे बात वो पूरी ; हर गोपी के मन में सजाये रंगोली पर मान ले मुझे वो अपने मन की रानी तुझ जैसी सम्पथी हो गुणों की प्रेम भाव से जीते जगत को; करुना से भरें झोलियाँ पीडित की विष बनें अमृत उसकी चाह से मिले जब मिले उसके प्रेम का सागार कभी राधा तो कभी मीरा बनू मैं उसके रंग में रंग जाऊं मैं कहलाऊं उसकी मैं , पिया भांवरी !! ------------------------------------------- Post Edits : Some major spelling goof ups !!

Women, getting truly everywhere.

It would be cliched to say that women have truly made their mark in every possible field and to hail this achievement, we need to recognize her by celebrating her day on a certain day of the year. Yes, definitely. That would mean women have broken into the so called man's world and have learnt those tricks of the trade which makes a man tick in his trade. This could mean a great deal of physical, mental changes for the woman, but now she is bold enough to approach it and bear it. Gone are the days when men were from Mars and women from Venus. Today both are earthly beings, they are plainly practical.They both are fighting this game for survival. A certain incident opened my eyes towards this..This was just a fortnight before the International Women's Day (celebrated on March 8th). I was caught by the traffic policeman for venturing on a road meant for 4 wheelers (while i was on 2 wheels). I cursed my luck and pulled my gaadi towards the 'corner' the policeman showed m...

I always wanted to write about this remarkable human being , Anil Kumble , my childhood-teenage and all-age hero . I realised that it is never too late to write about him. At any point, he is doing more than what he is expected to do, he is doing more than his best. Right from my younger days I have had a soft corner for the underdogs, the not so glamorized personas and Kumble has been one such cricketer.In India, being a cricketer and a not being a demi-god is unusual. This unusuality and simplicity of Kumble struck me. N ofcourse, I got bowled over.By his good looks. As a teenager, I happened to meet him once at a school event and among hundreds of students, I was the only one to manage an autograph from him. The 'video' of his smile emerging from within his sexy moustache can be played in my mind over and over. In the excitement I uttered to him.. " This is the best day of my life".. I don't know if he even heard it.. but for my teenage diaries, it remains one...

सोने दो मुझे

यादों के झूले हैं, झूलने दो मुझे, इन में तुम ही तुम हो, खेलने दो मुझे.. आशाओं कि लहरें हैं, उठने दो मुझे, इन में तुम्हारी ही प्यास हैं, बहने दो मुझे.. सपनों कि बस्ती हैं, रहने दो मुझे, इनमे तुम्हारा ही चेहरा हैं, देखने दो मुझे.. काश.. काश , यह जिन्दगी एक सपना होता, तो तुम मेरे साथ ही होते, बात मेरे बस में होती, आँखें न कभी मैंने खोली होती ..

Learnin not to ask for more

Today in the morning, one of the associates in my department called me for his birthday celebration. As he is an associate i had worked with during my project, i was happy to be present at the celebration. wished him warmly. he recently had told me that he had become a father, so was just thinking that it must be quite a happy atmosphere back home. At 4 PM, while leaving, he came to wish me good bye. I casually asked him as to how he was going to celebrate the day at home. his answer humbles me. He said," आज मेरा जन्मदिन नहीं हैं.. मेरा जन्मदिन अप्रील में हैं." I was rather confused and detecting that on my face, he continued, " वो क्या हैं ना मेरे माथा पिता अनपढ़ थे.. और यह डेट मेरे स्चूल के teacher ने दर्ज किया हैं.. वो भी १९८० के बदले १९८१ लिख दिया हैं.." and he smiled that smile of honesty. i smiled too, my mind wondering how many such people in this world exist who don't even know the exact day of their birth. Ah! i just imagined myself there and knew i wou...

Wasn't I taught, the earth is round?

From the time i read the book, The world is flat by Thomas L. Friedman, i have been tempted to think otherwise. The world is flat tries to explain the reasons behind the changes that have taken place around us, in the last decade. We have all been a part of these changes but probably have never given a thought to the changes nor to the reasons for their occurrence. Now, what do i mean by 'change'? The simplest way of putting it would be that Today we as an individual are able to compete, challenge & collaborate with any other individual in any part of the world.or in other words globalization has set in like never before. The author explains the reasons behind the sudden, high pace of globalization. The reasons being economic liberalization policies, invention of internet,web browsers, work flow software, offshoring, outsourcing,networking,open source,supply chaining and so on. These have been dealt with chronologically and have been explained with numerous anecdotes unra...
