lOve is blind...

BefOre the genesis Of human being in the wOrld,there existed vast empty space.In this space swum all the virtues and vices. They all were bOred as they had nOthing tO dO. One day,all the vices and virtues gathered at a place.They all were having discussiOn.

Suddenly,Witty came up with an idea: "Let's play hide and seek!"

All of them liked the idea and immediately Madness shouted:"I want tO cOunt,I want tO cOunt!" Since nObOdy was crazy enOugh to take a risk tO seek Madness,all other agreed.Madness hid behind a tree and started to count: "One, two, three..."
As cOunting begun,all the vices and virtues began tO lOOk fOr a safe harbOr. Tenderness hung itself on the moon, Treason hid in a stack of garbage. Fondness gOt curled up between the clouds and Passion stuck up in half blOOmed flOwer.
Lie said that it would sit under a stone, but hid at the bottom of the sea
,while Avarice entered a gunny bag full Of grain that it ended up tearing.
And Madness continued counting: "... seventy nine, eighty, eighty One.."
By this time, all the vices and virtues were already hidden - except
LOve.FOr undecided as LOve is always, he cOuld nOt decide where tO hide. And this was nOt surprising at all as we knOw hOw difficult is tO hide the lOve.
Madness: "...ninety five, ninety six, ninety seven..." Just when Madness
said hundred,LOve jumped intO a rose bush where it hid. And Madness turned around and shOuted: "I'm coming, I'm coming!"
As Madness turned arOund, Laziness was the first tO be fOund,because it has nO energy Or desire tO hide.
Then he spotted Tenderness On the moon, Lie at the bOttOm Of the lake and sO On.One by One all were fOund expect lOve.Madness was frustrated Of his unsucessful attempts.
Suddenly Envy came tO madness and enviOus Of lOve, she tOld madness abOut whereabOut of lOve.
Madness grabbed a wooden fork and stabbed wildly at the rose bush.He cOntinued till a heart wrenching shrill cry made him stOp.
Love appeared from the rOse bush,with her face cOvered with hand.Between her fingers ran twO trickles of blOOd frOm her eyes.
Madness, in anxiOus tO find lOve,had stabbed LOve's eyes with a pitchfork."What have I dOne! What have I dOne!" Madness shOut" .I have left yOu blind! HOw can I undO it?" What is the penance fOr such a heniOus crime?
And lOve which is always fOrgiving and kind said calmly : "You cannOt repair my eyes.
But if you want tO dO sOmething fOr me, you can be my eyes."
And sO frOm that day Onwards,LOve is blind and is always accOmpanied by Madness.

प्रेम

ऐसे ही चलता रहेगा ये प्रेम प्रसंग,
तुम्हारा न होकर भी होना मेरे संग|

तुम्हारे होने की पीड़ा
और तुम्हारे ना होने की वेदना
और उस पर मेरा ये सोचना
की , तुम को न पाकार भी
क्या पाया ?

इस अकथ्य यंत्रणा में ,
आग भी मैं हूँ और पत्ता भी,
भ्रूण भी मैं हूँ और प्रसूता भी|

इस वेदना का न कोई ओर, न अंत है
जीवन है क्षणभंगुर , प्रेम अनंत है |

lOve in the air !!

Ohh !! The time has cOme again. Love is in the air all Of sudden. Gushy-Mushy rOmance is playing On mOst Of the mind.And as my nature is , cant' help scribng, thOugh I am least qualified tO dO it.
So,the mOst asked questiOn why tO shOw lOve On Valentines DAY? As far as I can think in cOntempOrary life peOple hve becOme tOO busy tO even express their lOve. SO if a day helps them tO rejuvenate lOve , tO dO sOme thing than rOutine stuff, then what is the prOblem.And all hue and cry abOut V day being an attack On indin culture is nOthing mOre than an a ttentiOn seeking stuff by sOme orthOdOx and publicity hungry OrganisatiOns.If Indian culture were sO weak tO be ruined by sOme Valentines day , It wOuld have been ObsOlete a lOng time agO.
But I guess the sOle mOtive Of rekindling rOmance On V-day has taken a back seat.When everything is nOw available On click Of mOuse , whO cares fOr planning meticulOusly and persOnally.If nOt all ,then mOst Of us gOes fOr same mundane makeshift fOrmulae.As said earlier I can be wrOng because I have nO experience regarding these stuffs.But my take is a little Individualistic tOuch can wOrk wOnders in expressing yOurself.
SO , all yOu peOple crazy in lOve gO and have sOme rOcking time. It is yOur time tOday.But singles dO nOt lOOse heart.Gather all Other single and have a blast.The mOre the head cOunt mOre is lOve :P.And fOr me On this V day a sOng is playing On mind cOnstantly.It gOes like this : Fursat hai kiskO rOne ki , yeh rut hai pagal hOne
ki.
BTW Happy Valentine Day .HOping that yOu are nOt dOing the same I am dOing On this V day.

..Silent SpectatOr..

What separates man frOm Other fOrm Of life? They have mOst evOlved fOrm Of speech, cOnversatiOn.And which single attribute dOes create mOst Of the rifts between human.The speech..SO its pOwer is immense.But as in mOst Of cases,cOntrOlling it becOmes very cumbersOme.
PeOple , whO knOw me will agree that I am a sOrt Of OutspOken guy.Once I start,I gO On.In the prOcess I becOme Overexcited sOmetimes and tend tO blurt.This tendency may hurt sOmeOne.Or what if the OppOsite happens.I might get Offended.AlsO my greatest weakness is that I am very sigh at saying stuff like SOrry etc, even if I feel I am On the wrOng side.
SO as One day I was just alOne in my rOOm at night,I just thOught the remedy tO this sOlutiOn. It came tO my mind tO cOnstrain myself and speak Only when It is imperative tO speak.
Speaking less has many advantages.First Of all It wades yOu Out Of several trOubles .SecOndly it helps tO cOnserve energy(:p) which can be chanalised tO Other fruitful venture.SO nOw I am sOrt Of practicing silence.Just want tO see the pOwer Of silence.
They say silence is best art Of cOnversatiOn.Just want tO have a feel Of it.

!!!.. aal izz weel..!!!

In tOday's world of RathOres, Tiwaries, where hOpe, believe , faith take a back seat and skepticism and cynicism have grown mOre than ever , it is hard tO believe sOmething gOOd can happen unless yOu have experienced One.
My jOurney fOr hOme during winter vaccatiOn was at a shOrt nOtice . SO , I cOuld nOt get a cOnfirmed seat. I was traveling On a wait listed ticket . I just packed my bag in 30 minutes and left for the train . In haste I fOrgot to take blanket . Anyway I sat a seat meant fOr Rsc . Initially,when train started everything was comfortable .
But as night grew , sO did the cOld. Even after shutting all the three tier window , chilled air sOmehOw managed tO cOme thrOugh it ( thanx tO indian railway,the window cOuldn't be lOcked prOperly ). All Other passenger were sleeping in the warm cOmfort of their blanket.I was literally shivering in all the cOldplay . Suddenly something unexpected happened . One fellOw passenger got up .He saw me in that cOndition .He was appalled . He tOOk the bOther tO OPen his suit case , tOOk Out a blanket and offered me.
It was really a feel gOOd thing . At present when people are indifferent tO even their neighbOur woes , it was refreshing to know that even nOw such peOple exist. it was really a ' Pay It FOrward ' mOment . So here is massage fOr all the skeptics and cynics out there predicting dOOms day and all . Till there are such peOple nOyhing like dOOmsday will ever happen . After all God can't be that crazy . So always hOpe and believe in best .
PS better late than never "Happy 2O1O" .

Restless SOul

Exactly 79 hOurs and 25 minutes have passed after I finished taking the last paper Of my 7th sem exam . I thOught it wOuld be a very nice time as there wOuld be nO exams , nO last minute mugging and cramming , which kept me very busy last week . But alas ! there is nO such feeling right nOw .
After the exams , life is nOt same again . I have tried many gimmicks tO get myself Occupied , but each has turned futile . Suddenly , facebOOk turned bOring . Even I checked my Orkut accOunt after a mOnth . ThOugh dc main chat prOvided a brief respite , it also cOuld nOt hOld the fOrte fOr lOng enOugh . Last winter tOO I was in Bit . Despite , there were Only 6 boys in my hOstel then ,life was nOt sO boring .
It is not first time my exam are finished .It is nOt that I have nOthing tO dO. Perhaps , this mOnth is mOst impOrtant mOnth Of my life . I have tO appear fOr CAT , then JMET . Then there are sundry cOmpanies cOming fOr placement .These 2O days will play a decisive rOle in my life . They can very much shape my entire life . But it is bizzare that I am feeling the lack Of mOtivatiOn most at this critical juncture . It is like I can nOt cOncentrate On anything , Leave study . SOme eerie thOghts are preOccupying my mind . Am I being restless , Or is it mOral turpitude , Or my bOdy is reacting tO variOus quandaries I have ? I do not know . But I want tO know . Have any Of yOu have experienced such thing . DO yOu knOw the answer . If yes please comment .
Ps happy vaccatiOn and thOse sitting fOr placement , all the best .

Reticence : Evil or Good

Of late I have seen and read much on the importance of expression . Express yourself has been the Tag line of Airtel , one of the leading telecommunication company . But is it necessary to express ? I beg to differ . Everyday , we meet almost a fixed number of people . We exchange pleasantries ,the formal hi , hello , bye etc . We say good morning , shake hand and many other things . Words like all the best , congrats have become part and parcel of modern lingua . These are uttered , even when we mean otherwise , although it is not the case always . Many time congratulatory messages are said with well intended meaning . Some of us tend to feel offended , if they are not wished say for example on birthdays .
Let us not go into debate that it is right or not . Every individual has his own thinking . I just want to present my case here . I am not the kind of individual who believe in such kind of ritual . Of course , I also want that my friends , well wishers always succeed in their venture . I , too feel delighted when they achieve something . Only thing is I am reticent . I believe that if they know me well enough ,they wont' mind it . And , If because of my reticence somebody has been offended , I am really sorry . So , next time if you are venturing to achieve something , remember there is one who is always wishing you the best .
PS aal izz weel.
