Words Of The World

Hello Everyone! I hope you will really enjoy the forthcoming 9 days, "The Navratras" with a festive, Indian, Holy spirit to it. Today as you read is the beginning of Navratras- the nine holy nights dedicated to Goddess Durga, the first being today. But what interests me more is something else. This date 13 October 1948, in Faisalbad, Punjab, Pakistan, born to "Fateh Ali Khan" was a God in Disguise, called "Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan". The "SHAHENSHAH-AI-QAWAALI" meaning the King of Qawali, THE NUSRAT FATEH ALI KHAN " SAHAB ". Some one for whom the word "MAESTRO", " USTAAD  " would have been invented. The world knows him by his voice. If anyone who has heard him once anytime has fallen prey to his voice trap. That feeling of trance, is nowhere to find. In a time when Qawali artists were looked down upon, Nusrat Sahab's father wished for him to choose a much more respectable profession. The first ever ...

Hello Everyone. Today i wish to touch the sensitive issue of Dengue that struck the nation on a bigger scale than ever before . What i am apalled looking at; is how this has become a political issue. An issue big enough to ignore other major medical concerns over the nation. My luck struck me gold yesternight, when i were with my wife in the company of my college friend and two good doctors (my friend's sister and her husband) having dinner. The conversation started; took it's course and landed on the the much conversed Arvind Kejriwal and how he is working towards eradicating this non-stop epidemic called Dengue. I will not and i am not favouring or criticising any individual or political party. I just put forward my thoughts after learning of the current medical situation all over the nation. These doctors with whom i conversed, work in one of the government hospitals of Delhi.  Delhi government hospitals are substatially equipped and occupied 24x7, 36...

Hello everyone! Its been really long i met you guys here. Few questions for you this time.  Do you know the first step to answer all your worries? Do you know how powerful is that one answer? I am no Motivation Guru but i give you that one answer. " Smile "  Smile in times of happiness, sorrow, grief(Yes), despair.

It is an incredible talent i say to you.  And thus, while they celebrate there adversities, the wo...

दर्द कई किस्म के होते हैँ दर्द कई किस्म होते हैं  कुछ जुबां की गिरफ्त में  बयान के दायरों में बंधे  लबों से रास्ता ढूंढते हुए  बाहर छलांग लगाते हुए दर्द  और कई दर्द ऐसे जो  किसी जुबां के मौताज नहीं होते  जो दुनिया  झांकते हैं  कभी आँखों की खिड़कियों से  तो कभी जिस्म की दीवारों से  पर लबों से नहीं, जुबां से नहीं  ये दर्द कम दर्द देते हैं  इन की पहुँच बहुत दूर की होती है जहां चाहें, जिस तक चाहें, पहुँच ही जाते हैं  आवारा, बद-चलन, बे-हद इन्हें महसूस कर के भी, ज़हन हल्का रहता है  लबों पर हँसी रहती है  ये दर्द बद-चलन बे-हद ज़रूर हैं पर, बेबसी नहीं देती  और वोह दर्द, जो जुबां की गिरफ्त में  बयान के  दायरों  बंधे होते हैं  कम्बखत बहुत दर्द देते हैं  रूह-ए-क़त्ल की कला  इन्हें ही मालूम है  ये बाहर आते हैं तो लबों से चीखें बन कर  होठों से सिसकियाँ बन कर और साथ कुछ आंसू भी ले आते हैं  इन्हें बयान करने में ...

मेरी अय्याशियों में महफ़िलें हैं मेरी अय्याशियों में महफ़िलें हैं कि इक कमरे में चन्द जमा तो जुदा हो जाएँ मेरी अय्याशियों में महफ़िलें हैं कि चन्द लम्हे वास्ते खुद को भूल दें , तो शायद खुदा हो जाएँ लोग अक्सर खर्च खूब करते हैं, "फ़िज़ूल" फ़िज़ूल दौलत, फ़िज़ूल शौहरत मगर फ़िज़ूल वक़्त, यही खर्च नहीं होता अजब इस फ़िज़ूल ज़िन्दगी में, इक लम्हा फ़िज़ूल नहीं होता मेरी अय्याशियों में महफ़िलें हैं जहां लम्हे खर्च हों, तो फ़िज़ूल नहीं जाते कहीं ख़ुशी ढूंढ लेती हैं किसे, कहीं नए मरासिम है बन जाते' मेरी अय्याशियों में महफ़िलें हैं महफ़िलों में इक नशा है जो रफ्ता रफ्ता असर भरता है जब चन्द मिलते हैं, मुस्कुराते हैं कुछ सुनते हैं, सुनाते हैं इन महफ़िलों में कोई धोखा नहीं है यहाँ बातों का कोई और मतलब, मक्सद नहीं होता मतलब, मक़्सद  एक ~ "खुशी" यहाँ आँखों की रौशनी रँगत भरती है  यहाँ जब होंठ मुस्कुराते हैं, तो तबीयत भरती है गर खर्च करना ही है, तो वक़्त करो "फ़िज़ूल" इन लोगों में, इन लम्हों में कि यह खर्च आज फ़िज़ूल, कल खज़ाना बन के आएगा रिश्तों की महफ़िलों मे...

The Thought H i! I hope all of you are doing great in your lives.  Been quite a while i got here to pen something. I think i should get back to the BLOG. I have not yet titled this poem.  I were sitting in a conversation somewhere where a newborn were to be gifted with a name, with an identity. Someone suggested a name, meaning a star (तारा). An objection arose within the family stating that a star's name is not a good name. A star has nowhere to go, nowhere to be. It just flashes with its light in the sky stuck in the middle of nowhere.  Now, i have a different opinion on the same. While i was growing up, i was told that people who do good deeds need not return to earth. Instead, they become a STAR. Apart from that, i think a star is a major component in definition of Time. A star stays where it is whether we stay or not. Furthermore, i leave it on the poem to say my thoughts .  Enjoy!!  कल कहते हुए सुना कल कहते हुए सुना ...
