Tere aane

तेरे आने की ख़ुशी में हमने, यूँ इतने चिराग जला लिए..
दिल को चिरागों में जला कर, हमने अपने अरमान सजा दिए.
 
अरमानो की सेज सजी थी, हवाएँ दस्तक भी दे रही थी,
हवाओं में बह कर हमने, खुद को पागल भी बना लिया.

हर दस्तक पर दौड़े हम, की अब तो तुम आ ही जाओगे.
पर जब दरवाजों पर खाली सर सराहट ही हुई, खुद में ही आंसुओं को छुपा लिया.

कितना छुपते छुपाते हम , खाली सिलवटों पर.
साँसों की भी तो उम्र होती है, 
टूट तो वो भी जाती हैं, थक कर हार जाने पर.

Future to a Happy Employee

I often see people around me complaining about the kind of people that they are working with. Almost everyone seems to be dissatisfied with the organizational set-up or thinks that he is forced to accept far more inferior people as their superior. Organisations today are built on the principle of “Ram Rajya”. Set of rules defining the system machinery. Rules being more important than individual ambitions. I have read that Ram studied both the masculine way of leadership (No rules, creative freedom) and feminine way of leadership (Rigid Rules) before deciding on his way of governing an empire. His principles were to form very strong laws. Get very strong leaders to ensure that the law was adhered to. The leader itself being supremely responsible for the failure of the system and also a role model of the system. Therein lied the fallacy of the ram rajya. It could sustain up to the extent of peoples ambition and as long as the belief in honesty and inner peace appealed to people. Once,...

Turning 30..

Life has its very funny moments. One moment you are wondering that when is it that you will hit the “high” in life and the other moment you realize that the “high” was actually a “low”. Abstract as it may sound, it somehow sums something which I can’t exactly lay my finger at, at the moment. I am going to turn 30 soon. There was a stage, an age, when I thought that people should die when they turn 16. But I did turn 16. I love it now. Then I thought that 25, it is. But I turned 25 too. Love, marriage and catastrophe stuck. I love that also now. And now, I will turn 30. I keep feeling that I can die any day now. I have overshot my tenure on earth. But, there is also a realisation that, dying is not a right. It is a privilege, which needs to be earned by living this life, which I am counting by the years, days, and moments. I can be qualified as a successful woman today by most normal standards. I am 30, no major illness, working for an MNC, earning enough for survival of 4, an understa...

Sides of the same coin..

I always knew my son was on the wrong path.. I always reasoned with him, I begged him to stop. He said his fight was for the right and he did not care about his plight. I gave up on him, I did not give up on hope. I prayed every single day when death came to him, let it be swift. Swift it was, broken into million pieces. The world knew about it. What they didn't know of, was the million deaths I died. I always knew my son was on the right path. I still reasoned with him, begged him to stop. I told him the war was not ours. He said this war was for the right and he just had hours. I gave up on him, I did not give up on hope. I prayed every single day, when death came to him, let it be swift. Swift it was, broken into million pieces. The world knew about it. What they didn't know of, was the million deaths I died. Terriorism is a collective failure of politics and politicians, the price of which is paid by millions.
