पाप का घडा जब भर जाता है
भगवान का सामना करना पड़ जाता है

जुल्म बहुत करें हैं धरती पर
अब देना पड़ रहा है भारी कर

अब तो ठहर जाओ
अब तो रुक जाओ

बस करो परवानों
सहज जाओ दिवानो

लालसा की कोई सीमा नहीं
महतवकाषा की कोई कमी नहीं

कहां जाना है
कहां जाओगे
क्या चाहते हो
क्या पाओगे
जो पाया है सब खो दोगे

जब यह धरती नहीं
तो हम नहीं
संभल जाओ ठहर जाओ
एक नयी लहर ले आओ

यह गीत बहुत पुराना है
पर नया कुछ कर दिखाना है

अब तो ठहर जाओ
अब तो रुक जाओ

बस करो परवानों
सहज जाओ दिवानो

CONTRIBUTION OF A HOUSEWIFE TO SOCIETY

Oh I don’t work, I am just a housewife! An oft spoken and heard expression it has for as far as we remember meant that a housewife really is a married woman who sits at home doing nothing much but enjoying her married life. What is even more alarming is the fact that the term ‘housewife’ has offensive overtones for most people. Somewhere till the 20 th Century, in the early 1900s, women were expected to stay at home, and those who wanted to work were often stigmatized. Today it’s mostly the other way round. Across the developed world, women who stay home are increasingly seen as old-fashioned and an economic burden to society. Though there are husbands especially in India who look forward to a warm meal and a comfortable house when they reach back home from work, more and more of them feel that housewives are well ‘just housewives’, a community which is a big burden on society and is at best ignored. With so many confusing inputs I felt I really needed to delve i...

Beyond the Cover: The True Essence of Books

Image
    They say, "Don't judge a book by its cover," yet in a world dazzled by beautiful covers, grand marketing, and glittering awards, it's easy to forget the essence lies within the pages and its content, the story, the characters, and the writing style. Imagine a vibrant, colourful book, adorned with frills and fancy words, drawing you in like a moth to a flame. It promises a visual feast, yet what about the feast for the mind? On the other side, is a simple, unassuming book with its cover devoid of extravagance. It may not scream for attention, but within its pages, it holds a well-spun story, an emotional ride, that makes you think and makes an impression on you. How often do we get captivated by the allure of the exterior, only to miss the treasure trove hidden within? Let's talk about the underappreciated power of simplicity and depth. A black-and-white picture can convey a profound narrative, offering layers of meaning that a splash of colour may struggle to ...

The Life and Death of a Family and Nation

Image
  “People join the Army and Police to die and are paid to die…” said the self-assured Bihar minister as millions of TV viewers watched aghast at the insensitivity and brazenness of an arrogant politician.    The hue and cry raised over the issue frankly left me untouched and unmoved as do many of the concerns raised by the media and the so called political parties.  Why you may ask am I not angry at the rant of this callous man who feels that people act and behave in a particular way only because they are paid for it? That’s because I have heard it before…from not one, not two but many people who feel that the people employed in the Armed Forces are a blessed lot who party and drink with great gusto and then….well that is all that they do. According to most people (civilians as they are referred to), the job involves ‘free rations, Canteen facilities, cheap and good liquor and subsidised accommodation.’ As an Air Force daughter (21 years) and...
