उफ्फ!! क्यों है चिराग तले अंधेरा

Image
सुबह से शाम तक पिताजी मेहनत करते  पर शहजादे दोपहर तक आराम फरमाते  इसी कारण घर में अनबन बना रहे शाम सवेरा उफ्फ!! क्यों है चिराग तले अंधेरा पिताजी कहे hardwork बिन कुछ ना मिले मिले अगर कुछ तो वह किस्मत की देन समजले पर शहजादे पूजारी Smartwork के, काम में करे तेरा मेरा उफ्फ!! क्यों है चिराग तले अंधेरा पिताजी अपने जीवन में कष्ट सहन की खूप सारी हर छोटी उपलब्धि इसलिए उनको लगती थी प्यारी पर शहजादे को घर बैठकर मिले सारी फरमाइशें, कैसे समझें भवन्डर सारा उफ्फ!! क्यों है चिराग तले अंधेरा पिताजी कहे सुबह उठो और दो सेहत पर ध्यान शहजादे वो कैसे, जब सारी बाते लें वो मान पर वही बात वो समजने करे वो खर्च रुपया ढेर सारा उफ्फ!! क्यों है चिराग तले अंधेरा पिताजी कहे सच्चाई के रास्ते में चलने से जीवन सफल होगी सफलता मिलने में वक्त लगे पर मन रहे निरोगी  पर शहजादे आधुनिक युग के भ्रम में चले झूठ का लिए सहारा उफ्फ!! क्यों है चिराग तले अंधेरा जिस दिन ऐसे शहजादे मानले अपने पिताजी की बात, समजकर उनको अपना साथी, पकड़ले उनकी हाथ उस दिन होगा एक नया उम्मीद का  सवेरा, और निकल जाएगा चिराग तले अंधेरा|

"These Gol-Gappas are so yummy, I just cannot stop even after having 2 plates of those," said a laughing Seema and gobbled one more. "Just be careful Seema, age is catching up and so are the eyes of the onlookers," giggled Anisha. "Duniye mein sabse bada rog, kahenge kya log," reverted Seema with a laugh. Both were having a gala time at their best friend Avinash's wedding. This wedding was the most anticipated event for the entire gang of Sriram College. Avinash was the last bachelor of the group and everyone was interested for a get-together rather than the marriage. Almost everyone in the group promised to make it up for the marriage but as always only half of the gang members reached. Fun was in the air and people were enjoying the party. "Arun!!! Gosh, you have become a Macho!!! How are you man?" exclaimed Anisha, while she gave an elbow-nudge to Seema. Seema gave her a cold look and continued relishing her Gol-Gappas. "Hie Anisha, I

The thought process matters a lot, The one who has the most is not a giver always He who empathizes with the pain of others His sharing is truly Anonymous!!! Motivation is a common trait for everyone alive The urge to earn more than needs is common too He who sacrifices his food for others, without saying a word His reasons are truly Anonymous!!! Sufferings are yet another aspect of the human race Everyone enjoys being in the green always He who gives his shoulder to a crying person His feelings are truly Anonymous!!!

The Beginning

Image
As every beginning has an end, every end is a new beginning The beginning of something new or a better version of the same thing A student who is exuberant after qualifying any exam, with strife Finds himself enrolled for a newer course, which is beginning a new race of life Every batsman takes a fresh guard after scoring a century in a match Being focused throughout is tough, and this marks the beginning of a new patch Every research which has just concluded and proves the hypothesis Makes way for the beginning of new research or at least has a synthesis As every beginning has an end, every end is a new beginning The beginning of something new or a better version of the same thing You can never be always wrong or right in an argument Every act can change its nature, depends on that particular moment The most important aspect lies in action, doing an act Many experts, unfortunately, only say but never do, is also a fact When an action is taken, the outcome may be predicted perfectly Th

Harishchandragad - a trek to remember

" No one enters the bus without a mask and sanitizing himself/herself" announced the Chairman of Shivswapn_trekkers, Rakesh Nandurkar. Following his command, we all entered the bus, sanitizing our hands, did the temperature, and SPOS check too. The values were entered on a sheet of paper, which completed the dual purpose of attendance and understanding the basic health of every trekker. Shivswapn trekkers' is a group led by this young, dynamic, multi-faceted artist - Rakesh along with his friends to explore 'Shayadri ranges' and not only look forward to trekking as a picnic or an outing but also share the dreams of The Great Maratha Warrior - Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. He also has rich knowledge about visions of Maharaj and the entire management team of Shivswapn-trekkers is well-read about the history of various forts (killa/gad). This trek was special from various aspects - it was the first trek for this trekking group formed on 19th February 2020. The group wa

Wink

Image
A simple action, that got my attention and made me think Was this a casual one or had a reason for this blink Unable to decode, what is the link I kept on wondering, why did she wink? This simple wink may have hundreds of stories untold Mind being fertile add many variations to suit ones mould Cooking situations, sharing amongst friends being bold Becomes a matter of pride, as if you are a winner of gold A simple wink and you feel over the moon Not a single word was spoken, just having a wish to meet soon Her single act made my actions as funny as a cartoon It was night time, you are day-dreaming about her since noon My link completed the work and shared the findings of the incident The anxiety levels were too high to understand the truth being patient The grounds were altogether different levels, as it was a mere accident The dust in the air made her wink and I got it altogether different Such accidents may happen with almost everyone The most important aspect is how to handle this fu

Sixty

Image
Some say life starts after forty and this has its own logic But experience says life starts after sixty as it has its own magic Whereat forty, the person needs to balance the needs of his parents, wife, and children At Sixty, the challenges are killing time, managing finance, and grandchildren Reaching sixty gives the significance of a different kind Looking behind gives a sense of achievement in the mind That age makes one bid adieu to work and position Also gives the time to spend with the family with a renewed vision This is the most important turning point of life Where every relationship gets redefined except the wife To add to the strength of bonding between the spouses'  There are different rituals followed at different houses A beautiful ritual in South India is the 'Sasthiapthapoorthi' celebration Where re-marriage of the couple strengthens the bond of toleration In modern times, when families find reasons for a reunion and enjoy This is a moment to witness two sou

Virus

The birth of a Virus is either natural or many times man-made A scholar of microbiology explained to students of tenth grade He explained the growth of the reach of humans in research aplomb Almost equalling Almighty for destroying life through this human bomb Though the virus created under legal restrictions harms no one Once it reaches the wrong hands, there can be a menace for everyone The innovation of destructive virus is a problem prime The scientist at the laboratory has to work against time The vaccine to kill the virus needs to be developed to protect future This keeps the scientist on toes as the virus has a contagious nature Humankind has faced an attack of virus or bacteria every 100 years Whilst many of them survived, they paid the cost of near and dears This generation faced the worst of the attacks last November The entire world is reeling under its pressure for almost a year The origin of this virus seems to be done with malafide intention The creators knew about the ef

The 'Fish' story

Image
The school times were beautiful for many reasons Everyone attended the school in all the seasons Later, the lectures and teachers are missed by all The recess time is missed more for the play and fall During recess, the lunch boxes were opened without hesitation Variety of delicacies served together did not need any invitation Some even did not knew the tiffin he carried that day For it would be emptied, if even for a moment he looked away Once, a 'fish' rice brought was mistakenly served to a  vegetarian boy This put off the mood in the camp as the boy thought it was ploy He cried profusely and his entire day was wasted Others laughed and made him feel guilty for the 'fish' he tasted One smart boy counselled & suggested to forget and bury the incident He convinced it was a unintended mistake, happened by accident Thanx to that small counselling, the friendship continues even today The boys hang out around without any guilt for what happened that day Problems arise

The 'fish'erman's Story

Image
Alibaug is a coastal belt approximately 100 kms away from Mumbai, which mumbaikars visit for relaxation. Alibaug is slow compared to activities of our buzzling city. People are more contented with what they have and lead a good quality life. Nathu was one such resident of Alibaug city Once a learned teacher of Economics from Mumbai went on a stroll beach early morning and saw Nathu selling fishes which was 'fresh'. The teacher purchased the entire lot from Nathu and was happy to see the smile on the face of Nathu (for obvious reasons). Teacher appreciated the quality of fish he sold and that made Nathu feel more happier. Before Nathu set out to leave, the teacher asked him about his daily chores Nathu was a bit reluctant initially but since the entire day was relatively free for him and the teacher seemed harmless,  he narrated his story. He said, before dawn, he set out on his small boat to the sea to get his catch and whatever fishes he got, he kept some in the house and brou

Angry

 The major reasons for someone's anger Generally is either the person's Ego or Hunger The former reason (Ego) applies for all Irrespective of the person, big or small It takes several years to build a relationship Ego invokes anger which sinks even a sailing ship People know and acknowledge, being angry is bad When in anger, they tend to empty their mind which is sad Anger flares up when someone's stomach is empty and starving  But today hunger has crossed all limits for satisfying one's craving A man is slowly turning into animal from where he originated Academic qualification is merely a degree on paper designated The virtues of today's man is lost which taught him lessons of ground Though he acts properly in crowd, he loses his control with no one around He has become more brutal, ruthless, rude, foul and full of hate Resulting Rape, Dacoity, Theft - all crimes increasing at an alarming rate Not only the occurrence of crimes has increased alarmingly without shame

You are one whom I respected the most as a freedom fighter You are the one who inspired me to stand up during situations tighter You are the one who knew education is important with perseverance You are one who knew revolution was important for independence I have read your stories so many times to know you and your vision Yet I feel it needs to be read many more times to know your every mission You had decided to join freedom struggle at such a tender age The genes running within did not let you rest and enjoy your teenage You knew Revolution was very important for freedom of this nation Hence, you proposed formation of Hindustan Socialist Republican Association You knew the entire system needs a thorough change the equation Else the Browns (Indians) would replace the Whites and continue exploitation The Babugiri system would remain and become a new tradition This prediction was so correct as even today we face this complication Hats off to your knowledge of history of India and every

When you are in the worst of your mood The place to move towards is the wood I'm sure it would do you a world of good You will be filled with enthusiasm even without food Such is the power of the nature and its beauty You will enjoy its company which is rather pretty I'm sure you will be in awe by observing the banyan mighty Alongside you may find other varieties of trees, in plenty A child gets freedom to all games his mind wants to play The wild-life enthusiast enjoys the nature in pristine sun-ray I'm sure no one can miss humming of bird far away When a Nature lover walks deep into the woods feeling lost in his way The best part of Woods is that it is always a Giver Contrast to that, A man is an unsatisfied  Receiver I'm sure in this race of development the man fails to deliver Still, the benefits of past deeds helps him survive from shiver No doubt, trees are always said to be a man's best friend Alas!! The mankind has done more harm with or without intend I'

He is referred to as a running encyclopaedia Spreading fitness and Good health for all is his idea A man who practises what he preaches Conservative techniques is what he teaches Serving as a 'strategist' in a company multinational  Contented with life makes his living rational Believes in passing on the knowledge is service to mankind He works for people to be together and makes them bind He always praises runners with greater abilities  Never turns his back to people with lesser facilities I still like to join his online session for strengthening which almost kills Writing short stories &  crayon painting, he had added to his Kitty of skills.
