Dono ka ek hee hai anJaam-E-Muhabbat Shail
Jo mit na jaaye shama k sath wo parwana nahi

ग़ज़ल 2

उसकी एक झलक के लिए दुनिया से बेगाने हो गए हैं हम
ऐसा लगता है कि इश्क में दीवाने हो गए हैं हम

तेरा जिक्र आने पे जाने क्यूँ लोग मेरा नाम लेते हैं
हर शक्स के चर्चों के फ़साने हो गए हैं हम

भरी महफ़िल में मुझे पहचानने से इनकार करता है
जिसकी तन्हाइयों में गुनगुनाने के तराने हो गए हैं हम

मुझे पता है की मिलती नही अपनी राह-ए-ज़िन्दगी कहीं
पर वो न मिलेगा इस बात से अनजाने हो गए हम

अब तो आजा कि ये दम निकलने को है शैल
तेरे इंतज़ार में दिन महीने ज़माने हो गए हैं हम

GHAZAL 2

Uski ek jhalak ke liye duniya se begaane ho gye hain hum
aisa lagta hai ki ishq mein deewane ho gye hain hum

Tera jikra aane pe jaane kyun log mera naam lete hain
har shaqs ke charcho ke fasaane ho gye hain hum

Bhari mehfil mein mujhe pehchanne se inkaar karta hai
jiski tanhaiyo mein gungunane ke taraane ho gye hain hum

Mujhe pta hai ki milti nahi apni raah-e-zindgi kahin
par wo na milega iss baat se anjaane ho gye hain hum

Ab to aaja ki ye dum niklne ko hai Shail
tere intezar mein din, mahine, zamaane ho gye hain hum

ग़ज़ल 1

कुछ पाने की ख्वाहिश को मन में लाया ना गया
उसके जाने के बाद किसी और से दिल लगाया ना गया

कुछ तो बात थी उसकी मुस्कुराहट में
लाख चाहकर भी मुझसे भुलाया ना गया 

यूँ तो खफा मुझसे वो हर रोज़ होता था
लेकिन इस बार वो रूठा ऐसे की मनाया ना गया

किससे कहता मैं हाल-ए-दिल वो जो ना था मेरे पास
उसकी यादों के सिवा अपना कोई बनाया ना गया

कोई नहीं चलता साथ सफ़र-ए-ज़िन्दगी में शैल
अंधेरों में तो साए से भी साथ निभाया ना गया

GHAZAL 1

Kuchh paane ki khwahish ko mann mein laya na gya
uske jaane ke baad kisi aur se dil lgaya na gya

Kuchh to baat thi uski muskurahat mein
laakh chahkar bhi mujhse bhulaya na gya

Yu to khafa mujhse wo har roz hota tha
lekin is baar wo rutha aise ki manaya na gya

Kisse kehta main haal-e-dil wo jo na tha mere paas
usski yaadon k siva apna koi bnaya na gya

Koi nahi chalta hai saath safar-e-zindgi mein shail
andhero mein saaye se bhi saath nibhaya na gya

Construction leading to Destruction?

What are the basic needs of a human being? Immediately a reply will come if anyone is asked this question-Roti, Kapda aur Makaan.

Now a day it is changing. If someone asks me then I will tell-Food, Air and Water. Actually we feel the need of something when we struggle for it. We struggled for food, clothes and houses so we kept it as basic needs. Initially we never thought that one day we will be having problem for air and water also.

Water is so polluted at some places of our country that we are not able to drink it without using water purifier. Also we can get mineral water paying Rs.12 for a litre. Water table is going down. I have been at the places which are having great importance in Indian history. One thing is noticeable wherever I found an old temple there was a pond nearby. This is for taking bath before you enter in the temple. In olden days people used to dig ponds and wells for collecting waters. This also raises the water table.

The day is not far away that we will have bottle for fresh air also labelling ‘OXY FRESH AIR’ on it. At that time people will remind us saying,” have you taken oxygen cylinder because there is no fresh air where you are going to”.

In olden days those who were not having fields to grow foods used to do service for earning there livings. Service was a medium for fulfilling our basic needs. As time passes we started shifting towards our physical comforts and forgot about our basics.

No one wants to work in fields for growing foods. I will take example of my own family there used to be 15 members in my home at native place. Now most of them have shifted to city and in village only 5 members have left. People are focusing more towards money and comforts. We are forgetting that we can buy AC, Fridge, House, Car and other physical comforts but not food, one of the basic needs. We can buy something if someone sells it. Also we know that one will sell only after preserving his requirement. Population is increasing rapidly; we are misusing agricultural land by opening petrol pumps building industries etc.

When GOD created Adam and Eve, they were given only food neither clothes nor houses. Still they were living happily.

We think we are progressing, we are living luxurious life but we forget that we are getting more tensed day by day. We are getting less time to spend with our family.

It is very common in villages that small child used to eat bit of soil and nothing happens to him/her but in towns and most of the places in our country if someone eats even a small portion of soil it is needless to tell what will happen to them.

We are polluting earth, water and air. We call Earth as mother because it can fulfil all our requirements. We can grow foods, fruits to eat. We can get water from earth. We can sleep in the lap of mother earth. Have you ever felt how peaceful it is sleeping on the ground? It is crying and watching silently with tears in her eyes the declination of her children.

Our national animal is going to extinct if we do not stop killing them. How many of us have seen our national flower? We know it grows in ponds. We are also filling ponds, rarely do we see it. We must think from beginning of human lives on this earth whatever progress we have made, how much have really strengthen the natural beauty. How many are the developments, if not there we could not have been survived. We have made ourselves tired physically and mentally.

Every development we are making has direct or indirect impact on the environment. We know that we can not leave the things we have achieved till now after our continuous efforts. We can not stop industries, we can not destroy buildings, we can stop driving cars but we can reduce the speed of this process; we can do something for slow recovery of environment. We say that we can not do these things then at a certain stage we will have to choose between life and these temporary comforts. We will not be left with any choices. I am always using word ‘comfort’ as without these things also there were lives and people were living happily.Our progress should reduce hunger. There should not be people sleeping without taking food. Then only we can say we are developing. Let us protect our environment, plant trees, start harvesting waters, reduce uses of papers and whatever possible we can do to get fresh water to live in fresh air and to protect our lives. Destruction is the way for constructing anything. Even the GOD chooses destruction for constructing a new universe. Let Him be the cause not us for extinction of lives from this planet.

The costlier Bihar


It was month of august 2007. I got down from train at Barauni station and made a call to my BOSS to inform him that I have reached the Barauni station. He suggested me to hire a car for hotel Blue Diamond-a room was already booked. As I entered the hotel room there was no power no water in bathroom, in my whole life that was the first time I saw a hotel without such basic facilities. Unfortunately that hotel belongs to one of our dealers. When I was checking out he was not accepting the money. After sometimes I just kept the money on the reception and left. It gave me one lesson-never stay in a hotel of the persons who need your service.
Similar is the case with most of the hotels in Bihar. You can find some hotels in Patna having good facilities but charges are very high than expected. There is a city called Birganj in Nepal just at boarder of Bihar 2-3KM from Raxaul- a place in bihar. We have a retail outlet in Raxaul. We took a room in Nepal when we were on inspection of petrol pumps. We were surprised to see the difference in service and cost of room.

Whenever I received a call from my friends, they used to say, “It is Bihar very cheap you must be saving lots of money.” I could just laugh at my situation at these moments. Here also I realised if you want to live a middle standard life you must have your own conveyance. The ways of conveyance are trekkers, trains, taxies and buses. In Barauni there is no auto so we have to travel by trekkers or taxies. Trekkers charges 5-10 Rs for 10-20KM and taxi charges 220Rs for same distance.
If you sit in a trekker you are gonna pissed so either you should live like a king or live like a poor beggar choice is yours but remember for living like a king you will have to pay.
After two months of job I got my daily allowances of training period. Money was enough to buy a good mobile phone. I went to a shop nearby Begusarai (a district of Bihar) market. Sales man showed me moto ming of Motorola when I demanded Moto Rocker. He convinced me to buy Moto ming also the look of moto ming was far better than moto rocker. I took it for an amount of Rs.14000/-
After two three days in great pleasure for possessing such a beautiful phone with touch screen when I told about this to one of my friends who was in Bangalore. He informed me that same model mobile phone was being sold for 12000/- in Bangalore.
This is not case with mobile phones but for all the electronics gadgets i.e. laptop, digital camera, I-Pod etc. all you will find costlier in Bihar than most of the places.
