Being A Rebel

All passion and obsessions are matter of time. The love, care and relation… everything is time bound. The society, culture and politics too dependent on ever changing time. The change is only constant. And time is only dimension. Every thing will pass away, not to wait, not to watch… play your part at best… rest will be history in your name. Because, human history is history of few men, who believed in themselves!

Last night I was with my friend who is working with CISCO systems. Eventually we started discussing about the technopenure-ship in context on Indian market. The talent and potential of human resources in India is ultimate but the innovation instinct is lacking. Many a times, innovative ideas are not welcomed by already established industries. The best utilized skill for Indian human resources is – trouble shooting. All self acclaimed technocrats are indulging into this kinda work. It is not just about Indian OS, A Global Indian IT brand but also basic things are badly missing.  Smaller countries like Japan, Korea, and Thailand have their keyboards in their respective scripts. But that thing seriously lack in India. Even when the Indian languages are much easier than Mandarin, Korean Thai or Japanese, we don’t have a workable Hindi keyboard. Likewise, there are many such things which are still alien to Indian land but many Indians are master practice-nor of these tech...

My three months at Bangkok have been unusual for a lone single male; as my friends say here. I dint go behind any glittery thing here - material or immaterial . Rather, I joined some spiritual discourse by Buddhist and Hindu sage and monks. For me, it was a big testing time for my own self awareness. I experimented with my thoughts, work, reaction of others and survival skills in not-so-alien land. These days in Bangkok taught me a good lesson for life, 'When you take control of your own life, nothing can happen with you beyond your wish. All worries including stress, anxiety, disappointments, sadness and existential crisis, just wither away. The self awareness becomes more profound and you feel what your wish to feel. This control over own consciousness could be gained by simple meditation focused on realization of self-existence.' No one, no reason and no matter can make you sad. So, you must take control of your own life.    

All adventures and dangers make life interesting, if you are out there alone n cold. You think, you cry, you rejoice, your breakdown... no expectations from someone, no hope for consolation... you got to mentor your own 'run'... and you get out of emotion for further run. The motivation of a better life make the obvious dream... Nothing but a good life is fascinating, and you keep running behind it. You look at others enjoying all fun of life... you console your campaign - 'my life can wait for a good time' and you further run for the dream... and you realize that the running was the only life you had.  

मैं वो नहीं जो आपने समझ रखा है... वो 'मैं' कोई और था, ये 'मैं' कोई और. तो हम आज की बात करते हैं - मुझे आज भी तन्हाईयाँ पसंद तो हैं लेकिन महफ़िल से कोई गुरेज नहीं.  मैं ज़माने की बात तो करता हूँ आज भी, लेकिन खुद से अब परहेज नहीं. पहले बस सोचता था - अब समझ चूका हूँ, मैं हूँ तो दुनिया है नहीं तो बाकी सब कहानी है!  -  अमित   © Amit   14 October 2010

It is ideology which changes the fate of nations and regimes, not the political parties.  Political parties may be or may not be just mere manifestation of some aspects of a particular ideology. The best example of this ideological manifestation was – the formation of Pakistan. The ideology, which gave birth to Pakistan was not invented by Muslim League but it was founded by  Sir Saiyyad Ahmad decades before it was materialized by the separatist party. This is the reason, all historians and intellectuals of modern India termed him as traitor. Interestingly,  such anti-national traitor got recent facilitation at JNU, in heart of capital India by the leaders of NSUI- a student wing of Congress.  I raised this questions to them too – why to celebrate a traitor's birthday. They dint reply, they knew they are just trying to re-seed that ideology once again! These people, sections of congress, leftists proudly claim to be secular – and successfully do that because our des...

जिंदगी वो नहीं, जो हमने जाना था. बातें वो नहीं थी जो माना था.  यहाँ तो सीधे रास्ते में   कई मोड़ हैं, बहुत बातें हैं और भी कई तोड़ हैं.  सब लोग मुखौटा लगाये घूमते हैं, क्या ये रियाज है नौटंकी का? या फिर यही दुनिया है, और ऐसे ही जीना है.  

Bangkok 30 September 2010 Ayodhya Verdict: Won, Cheated or ‘Managed’ Everyone is happy with the High Court decision about Ayodhya. The tensed environment suddenly became cheerful and people were congratulating each other - Hindus, Muslims and Govt. Lets look at why they are celebrating - Hindus were thinking that having a secular (or pro-Muslim) government whatever comes would be welcoming. But they got more than what they expected. Verdict (Including Justice S U Khan's) accepted existence of Ram temple at the disputed place. Though, it is nothing new, whole world know that Ayodhya is birth place of Shri Ram and Mecca is birth place of PBUH Muhammad. But law fearing Hindu community does not practice jihad or a nation based on religion, hence, there is no global brotherhood or even local organization among them. However, for Muslims, there was nothing to lose. They were sure that whatever comes, even one-tenth of its part would be victory for them. Hence they congratulated. I...

Summery:  Even knowing the fact that the recent incidents of Kashmir was sponsored and instigated by Jihadi terrorists groups like Hizbul Mujahideen, these handful of guys were voicing the 'Kashmiri-Nationalism' and crushing Indian state of being expansionist. LAST NIGHT there was a bizarre event organised by Maoists-Naxalite groups at Jawaharlal Nehru University. This was a ‘march’ in support of Kashmiri separatists. All India Student Association (AISA), a student outfit of CPI(ML) and Democratic Student Union, a student wing of banned CPI(Maoists) were the organisers. All anti-Indian slogans were raised. It may seem quite strange to outsiders, but for a JNU student it has became a habit to see these two organisations abusing the very idea of national integration. Even knowing the fact that the recent incidents of Kashmir was sponsored and instigated by Jihadi terrorists groups like Hizbul Mujahideen, these handful of guys were voicing the ‘Kashmiri-Nationalism’ and holdi...

पेड़ के पीले पत्ते, शाम की ख़ामोशी, एक धुंधला सा चेहरा और पुरानी बातें.  गाँव की पगडण्डी,  तपता सूरज,  नंगे पाँव,  और चुभते कांटे.  ना आज की चिंता, ना कल की फिकर, धुल-धुल्लाकड़ दिन भर  वो किस्सागोई की राते.  समय का चक्र, बिछड़ते लोग,  बिसरती यादें,  बस काम की बातें.  बेख़ौफ़ दिन,  अलसाई राते,  आज भी याद हैं  वो बिन कही बातें .   [आत्मीय श्री मनोज श्रीवास्तव (फ्लोरिडा वाले) के बौधिक सुझाव सहित सम्पादित]  ©   अमित एवं मनोज   ७ जुलाई २०१०

तुम्हे आना है तो आ जाना, वरना सूने दिन और उदास राते हैं, चिंता कल की है, और भी मनहूस बातें हैं. जहर है इन हवाओं में, लोगों में भी जज्बा कम है. यूँ तो सब कुछ है सबके पास, हर दिल में एक ही गम है. ना आओगे तो भी रातें कट जाएगी मेरा जलना ही कहाँ कम है. या फिर चलो तुम अपनी राह तुम्हारे पास और भी बातें हैं हम तो ऐसे ही दीवाने हैं अपनी तो ऐसे दिन और ऐसी ही रातें हैं. © अमित Amit   २३ जून २०१०

कश्ती भी नहीं बदली, दरिया भी नहीं बदला, हम डूबने वालों का जज्बा भी नहीं बदला, है शौक-ए-सफर ऐसा, इक उम्र हुई हम ने, मंजिल भी नहीं पाई, और रास्ता भी नहीं बदला| --अज्ञात

जीवन में जब सब कुछ एक साथ और जल्दी - जल्दी करने की इच्छा होती है , सब कुछ तेजी से पा लेने की इच्छा होती है , और हमें लगने लगता है कि दिन के चौबीस घंटे भी कम पड़ते हैं , उस समय ये बोध कथा , " काँच की बरनी और दो कप चाय " हमें याद आती है । दर्शनशास्त्र के एक प्रोफ़ेसर कक्षा में आये और उन्होंने छात्रों से कहा कि वे आज जीवन का एक महत्वपूर्ण पाठ पढाने वाले हैं ... उन्होंने अपने साथ लाई एक काँच की बडी़ बरनी ( जार ) टेबल पर रखा और उसमें टेबल टेनिस की गेंदें डालने लगे और तब तक डालते रहे जब तक कि उसमें एक भी गेंद समाने की जगह नहीं बची ... उन्होंने छात्रों से पूछा - क्या बरनी पूरी भर गई ? हाँ ... आवाज आई ... फ़िर प्रोफ़ेसर साहब ने छोटे - छोटे कंकर उसमें भरने शुरु किये , धीरे - धीरे बरनी को हिलाया तो काफ़ी सारे कंकर उसमें जहाँ जगह खाली थी , समा गये , फ़िर से प्रोफ़ेसर साहब ने पूछा , क्या अब बरनी भर गई है , छात्रों ने ...
