The Power Of Numbers

  The Power Of Numbers Dear Friend!  Chances are, we are meeting for the first time. I am here after a long while. I almost thought the blog was taken off. But what a beautiful ride it has been. It is 2025 and all of us have transformed into a much more different person after 2020 Covid-19 trauma with all the experiences and learnings that came along.  Today let me speak about the power of numbers.  I've been pathetic at maths since childhood. NUMBERS gave me jitters all through my school. I remember sweating my heart out wondering why maths and numbers exist. and amidst 2019-20, I was exposed to the secrets of the world. The world functions at different levels to support us. I already knew of Astrology, Palmistry, Vaastu, Feng-Shui from a birds eye view. I learnt how the world is surrounded by the power of numbers and frequencies. I came to know of Numerology, the science of numbers and how each number has its own power and affects our life, personality, habits, car...

2020 - The Ending Of An Year Or The Beginning Of An Era

"Aprreciation" is a realisation that happens after one is devoid of it and stuck in tough times in life. It gets quite easy to curse every moment of our life to shift the blame or the irresponsibility from us to life itself.  "Ohh!! What kind of life is this!!!" "Ohh! This was destined to happen to me" I was in London, Trafalgar Square on the new year's eve welcomin 2020 with my better half and friends. I was in a total mood of appreciation towards the universe for bein so kind and gracious for giving me the moments that i was experiencing and with the people i was in that moment. And then came the mighty 2020 This year was and is an acknowledgement slip to be filled in for all the good times in the past years of our life that went unnoticed by us. This year was that rough patch of the road, which made us say "Thank god! The road until now wasn't like this since we started from home!". This year made us realise the true value ...

Here's wishing you a great 2017 ahead. How are you all?

Hello! Here's wishing you a great 2017 ahead. How are you all?  It has been a real long while since we connected. Well, i wish the best of health and happiness for you out there. i wish you are on your way to stardom in truest sense. And just in case you are not, do not worry. The right way will anyhow find you. i have said the same in one of my poems earlier too.   खुदा ने मेरे पूछा, कहो क्या मांगते हो  मैंने कहा देते नहीं हो जो है माँगा, और पूछते हो  क्या मांगते हो  खुदा तो खुदा है दोस्त  थोड़ा इतराया, मुस्कुराया, फिर बोला  जो है कहीं तुम्हारा, बनेगा वोह ही तुम्हारा  क्यों उस तक का रस्ता थोड़ा छोटा मांगते हो  मांगो तो ऐसे मांगो, कि सोचूँ मैं क्या तुम भी खुदा से खुदा के लिए दुआ मांगते हो  Few days back one evening i was at a cafe coffee day when i struck upon a thought and my pen struck upon a paper to bring it into a poem. I read that to myself since then quite often. I feel like sha...
The Pious; The Pure  YET  The (IM)Pure GANGA Some two hundred and fifty kilometers away from Delhi, at Devprayag (Uttarakhand) ( meaning Godly Confluence), two rivers namely Alaknanda originating from Satopnath glacier and Bhagirathi originating from Gomukh meet and thereon, The mighty river Ganga takes form. If you ever happen to visit Sangam as they call it, you will witness the most magnificent sight. According to Hindu Mythology, confluence of two godly rivers in their purest forms with high currents give birth to the pure, the pious Ganga. River Ganga thereon, takes it's course flowing down to Rishikesh, allowing splendid views from Lakshman Jhula reaching further to divine city of Haridwar. . The waters of Ganga at birth are pure, sea green yet icy blue.  But as it enters the God city of Haridwar , it gets maligned. I mean it. Not because it washes people off their sins ( as they say ), but because people carry on their daily necessary ro...

The Grand Day

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 ...

Poll count; not Toll count

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...

"PAIN" ~ "दर्द कई किस्म के होते हैँ"

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 ...

Meri Ayyashiyon Mein Mehfilein Hain ~ मेरी अय्याशियों में महफ़िलें हैं

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...

STAR - कल कहते हुए सुना

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 ...

Thus Told; she never gets old

The Thought "Thus told; she never gets old" is a poem i wrote a few moments back in praise of a heart piece, a person who better be defined the other me. I think i should refrain from getting emotional on the "BLOG". But poetry, as i would like to say; is an outflow of emotions. I give you a very close composition. Go n recite it to your mother, daughter, sister, friend, girlfriend or wife. I send it out as an appreciation to these specified set of women in my life.  Enjoy! Thus Told; she never gets old And i wonder of silver and i wonder of gold And i wonder of her, always new never old And i listen to her, often advised, often told And i look in to her, so beautiful so bold Don't know why she never gets old Thus told; she never gets old She sparkles, she shines Sends chills down my spines She glows, she gleams  To her sight, my eye beams She's a sun, She's a star In retrospect, defines a Super...

Shubh Aarambh ~ शुभ आरम्भ

The Thought शुभ आरम्भ is a chain of thought that flew through my pen on to a paper this Diwali. The poem speaks of Womanhood as its value changes from a few days of festival to the normal routine life. Festivals where we celebrate and welcome the Goddesses, ask for there blessings. And the very next day, our very own women are treated as mere objects to vent out misplaced anger and frustration. Quite ironically, India is known as a land of goddesses.  Hope this Diwali brings happiness, prosperity and good luck in your lives. I give to you    शुभ आरम्भ. Enjoy! शुभ आरम्भ   भारत और दिवाली  बड़े ही मिलनसार हैं  राम सीता लक्ष्मण  के लौटने का त्यौहार है  बहुत सुना है आज ही के दिन  घर माँ लक्ष्मी आतीं हैं  उन्हें पूजें, आरती करें  क्या बताएं मूर्ती पूजा का आनंद ही अलग है  घर की लक्ष्मी को पूजना  जैसे मामूली सा लगता है  वोह क्या कहते हैं ? घर की मुर्गी दाल बराब...

Khaamosh Raho ~ खामोश रहो

The Thought  Hello everyone! It has been really long i wrote some good poetry. "Khamosh raho" meaning Be Silent is a poem i wrote two days back. It speaks of what i have observed, noticed and realized. I strongly believe that the whole creation has a way of answering you back in a very silent and subtle manner. And the time you get all those answers, you might be overwhelmed by the beauty of the way by which the creation converses with you. खामोश रहो is a heart piece and will always be one, for i believe it is nothing but a message from the creation itself flowing through a pen on an A4, me being the medium. I hope you have a picture of it by now. Enjoy!! खामोश  रहो  खामोश रहो  यही सीखा है मैंने  तुम्हें सवालों के जवाब मिल ही जाते हैं  ज़माने को उन के जवाब मिल ही जाते हैं  खामोश रहो  कि ख़ामोशी में हर एहसास छुपा हुआ है  सहनशीलता तो परिहास छुपा हुआ है  ख...

Courage or Cowardice

Hi everyone! Been really long i saw you, met you through my words and you my readers, met me in my writings. Lately, a lot has been happening in and around life. All good personally and professionally. But the morning newspapers do not bring news good enough to celebrate. Rape, Murder, Child abuse are somethings amongst many that our eyes have gone dry, reading to. I have been listening to Modi ji's "Aashawadi" speeches and the claps that follow thereafter. It's almost like listening to Obama giving out his hope fueling speeches. I just hope Modi ji's plans don't fail to deliver like Obama care did.   Never before, i have seen markets (retail) hitting such lows. I am cerataily not talking market specific. All the markets have struck a low, almost a halt. The Real Estate sector is almost dead, next to Zero Transaction. I wish Modi ji all the very best in his endeavors.  On the mike, he seems a very promising man.  But the reality (as of now) ...

Only If YOU Were the Epicenter

Last night, we were having a dinner discussion when Hittu a.k.a Hitesh Rajani, the brainy brother he is talked of Epicenter. And out of nowhere, an altogether new angle to this word and its meaning struck to me. I heard and often hear certain things. They all have very much the same meaning. The moment, you start believing yourself as CENTER of the world, you start loosing the CENTER.  I believe it to be somewhat true, almost true, actually true!  For all things that occur and happen to us, to the world are fine tuned by mother nature in order to regulate the functioning of this world. I might be rude to say, but even the happenings and natural calamities are just fine tuned in order to keep the self sustaining world alive. Each of us is the EPICENTER, but for a little while. In that little while, whatever we do might show it's effects (good or bad) on lives of many that are beyond our reach. I hope you remember the "Nirbhaya rape case". I also hope yo...

Outraged ~ Overwhelmed

I am not in a habit of writing down person specific, firm specific or industry specific write up's. I am also not the one who will try n bag attention by capitalizing on some good or bad experiences with people and firms. But quite frankly, from the bottom of my heart thank you Galaxy Toyota to motivate me to the limits of writing up a blog post. So much that i became impatient as a mindless insect to share my delightful, exhilarating, exciting and overwhelming experience of having dealt with them. Unfortunately i met an accident in my Corolla Altis. The headlamps were broken. The bumper broke, was hanging in two. The left side doors got scratched and dented in. I, (as any other person would do) took it to the body-shop for repairs under my motor insurance policy. I gave in my Altis to the body shop. The consecutive day, i got a call from the body-shop telling me that the car did not look like it had met with an accident. Instead, it looked like it had been delibera...
