ऐ आसमान थोड़ा ऊंचा हो जा

Have confidence in yourself always. There is nothing you can't do. So why to worry from small miseries. Stand up and aim high. I just remembered few lines from speeches in my school-
"कौन कहता है कि आसमाँ में छेद नहीं हो सकता,
एक पत्थर तो तबियत से उछालो यारो।"
Here is my version:

मेरे उड़ने का जज़्बा देखना है तो,
ऐ आसमान थोड़ा ऊंचा हो जा।
मेरी रफ़्तार देखनी है तो देखो,
पर ऐ रोशनी थोड़ा तेज़ तो चल।
ऐ सूरज थोड़ा ज़ोर से जल,
तेरी चमक हल्की है मेरे सामने।
ऐ चन्दा तू थोड़ा और ठंडा हो जा,
तू तो मेरे दिमाग से ज़्यादा गरम है।
ऐ पानी कह दे अपने दरिया से,
मेरे दिल से गहरा होकर तो बताये।

Now, the bad news

India's medals tally is at an all-time high. So is its global hunger ranking.
Unlike the Commonwealth Games, there are no last-minute fixes for the latter. Can the new icons help?

October 11, 2010, was a day of glory, hope and shame for India. It was a day India touched -and would soon top -its best-ever medals tally at the Commonwealth Games. It was a day the money poured over 2010 into India by foreign institutional investors was set to touch a record R100,000 crore (or $21 billion). It was a day India was ranked 67 of 84 countries in a global hunger index.

The medals harvest cheered India like nothing else.
New sporting heroes, particularly women, emerged from every corner of emerging India. We stopped ranting against that symbol of old India, Suresh Kalmadi, and started raving about the new, like Deepika Mahato, gold medallist in archery and daughter of a Ranchi auto driver. We were right in celebrating the few hundred sportsmen and women who made the long journey from backwater to big stage, from penury to plenty. They had new stories for us, and we wanted to hear them, to be inspired, to feel good.

But there are older stories that we do not like to hear.

India's latest hunger ranking, delivered by the International Food Policy Research Institute in Washington D.C., did not make it to television news. In the newspapers, it was buried, just another bad news story in a nation that, increasingly, does not like to hear such news.

The IFPRI's Global Hunger index ranks India in the `alarming' group (the categories: moderate, serious, alarming and extremely alarming), below many failed States ruled by tyrants and despots. The ranking considers the number of children under five who are underweight, malnourished or wind up dead, particularly girls.

In Asia, everyone, except Bangladesh, which is just one rank below India, is doing better. China is at number nine, Pakistan at 59, Nepal at 56. India is bested by a host of tottering States, including Guinea-Bissau, Togo, Burkina Faso, Sudan, Rwanda and Zimbabwe.

Hunger is particularly inconvenient bad news. Unlike an ill-prepared Games pulled together at the last minute, there are no last-minute fixes.

Lets just hope for actions by our government for the same task.

Feel it...love it...live it...

This post is just inspired and even a replica of a buzz by one of my friends Hitesh.
These lines touch heart so deep and they compel us to rethink what is life, what we are doing actually..
Now i don't need to say more those are self-explanatory..






Why is that a soldier dies happily in battle??

Why do we run to help a friend even after bitter quarrel??

Why do we love our loved one even when they hate us??

Why do we feel pleasure in teasing the one we love??

because

Some Defeats are Sweeter than Victory...

Life is sooo short to realize this...

Just Feel it..
Love it.. and
Live it.. :)

तेरे होठों से तो बस फूल ही बरसते हैं।

Yesterday, 2 lines came into my mind aevae.So again i thought to elaborate it and again so did i...[:)].
It could be even more lengthy but didn't have time so just ended it, may be in future i'll try to add more lines.

Tone is a bit slow, hoping you'll read in the same tone i wrote it and will get the same feeling,i had while writing.

तेरे मुँह से निकले तो गाली भी हमें कुबूल है,
तेरे होठों से तो बस फूल ही बरसते हैं।

तू बस चुप ना यूँ बैठा कर,
तेरी आवाज़ से ही कितने दिल धड़कते हैं।
तेरी हर एक अदा इतनी खतरनाक है कि,
होश वाले भी यहाँ बहकते हैं।
तू जो नहीं तो कुछ भी नहीं है,
तेरे होने से ही तो हम चहकते हैं।

बीत गया फ़र्स्ट ईयर हमारा.....क्या समा था क्या ज़माना था

This is all about my experiences about my first year[2 years ago], as we came here with joy and a lot more expectation but finally all our enthusiasm just go in vein.The system somehow  made us lazy and sleepy.At starting of sem many of us take oath to do something extra-ordinary but finally we all repeat the same thing each and every time.
Anyways my first year at this place was just awesome.
Enjoyed a lot.Yeaaaaaaaaah.

बी.टेक. करने आये थे हम,
मन में थी कितनी आशायें ।
धीरे धीरे समय जो बीता,
कुछ ना हमको समझ में आये,
भूल गयी अब सारी दिशायें ।
 

सोचा था हम खूब पढ़ेंगे,
नयी ऊँचाईयों पर चढ़ेंगे ।
अच्छे अच्छे शिक्षक होंगे,
बन कुम्हार वो हमे गढ़ेंगे ।
मिल गये हमें सब रट्टु तोते,
जो हैं साले फ़र्रे लाते ।
टीप टीप कर उससे पूरा,
ब्लैक बोर्ड हैं भरते जाते ।
अगले दिन की क्लास जो अपनी,
उसकी कापी पढ़ती जपनी । 
कैमिस्ट्री हो या हो ईडी
घोंट के हमको जानी पड़ती ।
फाईल छापो लैब में जाओ,
नहीं हुआ तो रीडिंग बनाओ ।
वर्कशॉप भी करते थे हम,
बिन वर्कर के डरते थे हम ।
कुछ ना हमको समझ में आये,
भूल गयीं तब सारी दिशायें ।
 

कुछ दिन यहाँ जो बीत गये,
मिले जुले कुछ मीत भये ।
प्रॉक्सी ने तब खूब बचाया,
मास बंक का फंडा आया।
 

तब पहला इक्ज़ाम जो आया,
हम पर गहरा संकट छाया।
संकटमोचन पॉन्डी आया,
पेपर बुक वो पुराने लाया।
भीड़ लगे,
जब पॉन्डी आये।
कुछ ना हमको समझ में आये,
भूल गयीं तब सारी आशायें।
पहली बार तो खूब पढ़े हम,
तो क्या साला खाक उखाड़ा।
धीरे धीरे समझ आ गया,
कॉलेज का सब फ़र्ज़ीवाड़ा।
कुछ लोग यहाँ होशियार भी थे,
सब कुछ करने को तैयार भी थे।
कॉपी बदल लो डेस्क पे लिख लो,
ये सब कारनामे करवाये।
कुछ ना हमको समझ में आये,
भूल गयी तब सारी दिशायें।

 
धीरे धीरे डर बढ़ने लगा था,
रैगिंग का भूत सर चढ़ने लगा था।
हम तो बड़े नादान थे उस बखत,
साला सीनियर भी अकड़ने लगा था।
उनके सामने जो हमारी फ़टती थी,
सुबह बुला लिया तो रात नहीं कटती थी। 



 
पर अब हम बहुत कुछ सीख चुके थे,
कुछ खुशी कुछ गम की बारिश में भीग चुके थे।

 
फिर वो रात फ़्रेशर की आयी,
लुढ़क गये पी के सब भाई।
लड़की के पीछे कोई नहीं भगा था,(लड़की होगी तब तो)
सबका ध्यान तो चिकन दारू पर ही लगा था।
 

कुछ खट्टे कुछ मीठे लम्हे आयेंगे ना अब दोबारा,
इसके साथ ही बीत गया फ़र्स्ट ईयर अपना प्यारा।
