दो तरह के लोग

वक्त के थपेडों से लड़ कर, 
अभाव की ऊँचाई चढ़ कर, 
कुछ हिम्मत वाले सपने देखते हैं.. 
जी-जान लगा कर मेहनत करते हैं.

कर गुजरने का धुन अगर सच्चा है,
सपने  सच हो जाएँ तो अच्छा है.
कोई तगमा नहीं चाहिए, 
लोगों के चेहरों पर बस खुशी चाहिए.

किसी का बुरा हो जाए, 
ऐसी कामयाबी भी क्या कामयाबी
हम खुद को भूल जाए, 
ऐसी मंजिल भी क्या मंजिल.

लेकिन दुनिया भी बड़ी अजीब है,
उसको पानी नहीं मृगमरीचिका चाहिए, 

काम नहीं, बस दिलासा चाहिए. 

फिर कुछ ऐसे भी लोग होते हैं, 
धर्म बेचते हैं, ईमान बेच देते हैं
खुद की कामयाबी की खातिर इंसान बेच देते हैं!
ऐसे लोग शहंशाह भी बन जाएँ तो क्या, 
सबको बेवक़ूफ़ बना भी लें तो क्या!

जीत  तो हमेशा से सच की हुई है, 
आज हँस लो सपने बेचने वालों, 
आखीर में तो मेहनत ही मुस्करायी है!

Lathi-charge and tear gas on JNU students, 18 are seriously injured!

Minutes ago thousands of police forces freely lathi-charged and shot tear gas bombs on JNU students. Eighteen students including six girls are seriously injured and four others are detained by police. The issue was lame response from police on the vandalism by four goons where eve-teasing and abusing students and flashing firearms on watchmen. Students were protesting against the lukewarm response from Delhi Police. In afternoon, some four persons in a care entered into campus, they were drinking and passing lewd comments on girls. They also misbehaved with on girl. After complaints watchmen stopped them at gate at 3.30 pm, when they were trying to escape. Incidentally I was passing by from the gate, I found those goons were fighting with watchmen, pushing them and abusing them. They also threat for dire consequences to watchmen as they told that they are relative of some ‘commissioner’. A PCR of Delhi police was parked beside but policemen present that time were mere suspect of whole...

Sorry Anna!

Anna, we are the youths who have great hope from your satyagrah, Who went on vigils at Tihar, Ramlila Maidan, India Gate and Jantar Mantar. We still have our support for you... However, we are deeply hurt by your team being accommodating political tricks of reservations and secularism. And I think you must clear it first, if you differentiate corruption charges based on caste and religion. If you don't differentiate, why there is a need to caste quota and ullema quota in your team. I have great respect for Arvind Bhai, have been detained by Delhi police on several accounts together... Be it RTI movement or 'cash-for-vote' issue. However, the recent development withing the protest team to be explained.      Four years ago, when 40-50 thousand youths gathered in Delhi demanding equal treatment in education, they were treated with water cannon and tear gas bombs. No one from 'civil' society or political parties raised their issue... Not even you Anna! The p...

Let it be, imperfect me with myself

On 29th June, 2012 One more year passed by,  while I remained the one... Staying and counting by. Life has been a space in time.. Where people come and go,  They have to go and they do so. While being me, most of the time, into the thoughts and reality...  I Seldom forgot,  when to dim, when to shine.  It was only me,  lived in dark age and waited for the renaissance..  held on ups and stood through down, Lived through guilt,  Survived thorough innocence  who am I? the dream chaser? or own record breaker... Let it be, imperfect me with myself,  (just like this poem) Incomplete yet total in run, Let life be "coming soon" with fun...
