One Of The Most Beautiful Meeting Of Two Basic Elements Of Nature, Light And Water, And Different Angles

Silence always has a noise. It require to acquire the skill to listen this noise in silence. Every silence has its own noise. My silence speaks about human, humanity, love, compassion, nature. What does your silence says to you? Listen it carefully, you will be amazed........

ख़ामोशी

ख़ामोशी

निशब्द मानव ध्वनि रहित

अलग अलग जगह

अपने अर्थों के साथ सर्वत्र विद्यमान है

ख़ामोशी !

जैसे ही मैं धरती पर आया

मैं  खामोश रहा

तब माँ का दिल घबराया

मुझे हिलाया डूलाया मेरी पीठ को सहलाया

और तो और मुझे चुटकी भी काटी

और तब मैं अपने पूरे आवेग से अपनी पहली क्रंदन ध्वनि निकाल पाया

कुछ महीने बाद

मेरी उसी क्रंदन ध्वनि से व्याकुल होती मेरी माँ

परेशान रहती तब तक जब तक की मैं खामोश नहीं हो जाता

मेरे जन्म के कुछ महीने में ही मेरी ख़ामोशी के दो अलग अलग मतलब

ढूंढ लिए थे दुनिया वालों ने ,

कुछ एक साल बाद मुझे विद्यालय नमक संस्था में भेजा गया

वहां मुझसे अपेक्षा की गई कि

मेरी आवाज और ख़ामोशी किसी और के अधीन रहेगी

वहां पूरे जोर शोर से सबसे पहले मुझे शांत रहना सिखाने की साजिश की गई

मैं तभी बोलता या खामोश रहता

जब वो मुझे कहता या कहती,

एकदम मशीनी काम 

लड़कपन में अपनी बंदिशे तोड़ दी मैंने

मुखर हो रहा था

पास पड़ोस के लोगो ने कहा

बहुत बोलता है

अपने से बड़ो को जवाब देता है

बिगड़ रहा है लड़का चिंता का विषय था

जितने भी लोग मुझसे बड़े थे और बड़े  होने में उनका कोई भी योगदान नहीं था

सबने अपने संवैधानिक अधिकारों का प्रयोग करके मुझे शांत करने की कोशिश की

और काफी हद तक इस दमनात्मक कार्यवाही में सफल रहे

कुछ असहज सा अनुभव

पैदा कर देता हलचल

मन हो जाता व्याकुल

पर अब तक वाणी ने शब्दों का साथ छोड़ दिया था

और मन की बातों को कलम के सहारे कोरे कागज की तरफ मोड़ दिया था

अब मैं खुद से बातें करता

खामोश रह कर खूब शोर करता

और उसी शोर को कागज पर कलम के सहारे उतार देता

इसी तरह के माहौल से होता हुआ मैं युवा हुआ (और ज्यादातर ऐसे ही होते हैं)

पहले मुझे आश्चर्य होता था की

क्यों कुछ गलत होने पर लोग आवाज नहीं उठाते

फिर धीरे धीरे समझ आया कि आवाज उठाने की सजा तो यह बचपन से ही खाते आयें है

फिर कैसे कोई आवाज उठेगी

लेकिन जिन्दा कौमे सवाल पूंछती है

जागरूक समाज आवाज उठाता है

परन्तु हाय रे इस देश का दुर्भाग्य

यहाँ तो आवाज नीचे रखने और खामोश रहने की अफीम तो बचपन से ही दी जाती है

इसलिए इस सोये हुए समाज में मौत का सन्नाटा है

आओ आगे बढ़ो!

आवाज लगाओ

सवाल उठाओ

जिद करो जवाब पाने की

और अगली पीढ़ी को तैयार करो

सिंह गर्जना के लिए

स्वतंत्र चिंतन के लिए

तभी इस देश का स्वर्णिम समय आएगा

तोड़ो इस सन्नाटे को

छोड़ो इस ख़ामोशी को

क्योंकि एक दिन खुद ही हमेशा के लिए खामोश हो जाएगी

मेरी और तुम्हारी आवाजें

तो उस कयामत के दिन से पहले

कुछ ऐसा करें की हमारी आवाजें

हमारे जाने के बाद भी

तोडती रहें  निशब्द मानव ध्वनि रहित

ख़ामोशी ! ख़ामोशी ! ख़ामोशी!

In conversation with life...

Me:        Hello! How are you?

Life:       Hi! As you have been with me.

Me:        Oh! That’s great. So you are in my own hand.

Life:       Yes Of course. You, yourself is the driver of mine.

Me:        But sometimes it seems that I am the passenger only and anyone else has steering of you.

Life:       No! it’s never like that. It is matter of perception only.

Me:        But my birth is independent of me, my upbringing is in other’s hand and then their expectations do guide you for me.

Life:       I agree, you got me due to physical union of your biological parents. And up to a certain extent your upbringing is dependent of them. But that is just beginning of mine.

Me:        Then I have my to take care of my society, what others think, bla.. bla.. bla..

Life:       Here it’s a note of caution, this is a nexus. You had to break it. Did you?

Me:        No! How could I?

Life:       Just rewind your that period of mine, when you had taken any decision due to other’s wish. Then try to remember the consequences of your that decision.

Me:        Yeah my parents and other people were quite happy.

Life:       And what about you?

Me:        Some sort of.

Life:       And try to remember, the happiest moment that you have with me.

Me:        Yeah, I do remember. When I listened to my heart only. Even everyone was against to it.  

Life:       So what did you learn from that?

Me:        That I had to follow my heart only.

Life:       Now you got it.

Me:        But is not so easy every time.

Life:       You had only one of me.

Me:        It means, being rebellion is the only way to drive you.

Life:       It’s not about being rebellion always. The cause of your action should be just.

Me:        Who will define just and unjust?  The just action of mine may be unjust for someone else. You are confusing me.

Life:       There is no scope of confusion. It is quite clear. The just action means, action that does not harm any living being on earth. The just action is that when it do not become cause of sorrow for anyone. Your single cell should not be the part of any such action.

Me:        Is it so clear?

Life:       Yes it is. You have to understand it.

Me:        But I have seen so many people who had always did just action had suffered lot throughout the life. What about them?

Life:       It is not the case. If they had followed these golden rules of mine then it could not happen. And there are two types of suffering. Physical suffering may got healed in due course of time. But mental suffering sometimes forced people to leave my hand.

Me:        Then what is the way out of it?

Life:       Let’s talk with example. Take any example of people who have changed the life of human being positively. You will observe they have followed their heart and didn’t care about what other’s think.

Me:        Yes that’s true. We have so many examples of this kind

Life:       Any confusion.

Me:        Not at all. But I regret that I had not did justice with you.

Life:       No problem. Just give me a promise that now you will follow the golden rules of mine.

Me:        I do promise that I will follow those golden rules along with this I will let my kids do the same.

Life:       I am very beautiful. Enjoy me

Me:        Sure! Let’s have fun together and make this world filled with joy and happiness.

Life:       Whenever you have any doubt? Call me I am always with you.

Me:        Thanks for this enlightenment of mine.

Stand alone

I don't know why,

But your sound is soothing to ear and refresher to mind,

You know how to sail against the wind

And how to enjoy the wind.

It's a lesson to learn

And wisdom to earn.

Everyday you come to my home

I promise I will come to your dome.

I invite you to be around me

You are so adorable to see.

Each of us want to be like you

No one can, it is well known true.

Your selflessness, is must required to save the world.

What an irony it is

Just have a look

Our selfishness have compelled

Some of you to enter into red Book

You are synonym of freedom.

You have everlasting kingdom

My heart goes in the deep sea of sorrow

I feel very low

When I see your friends in cage

Even in this age.

They scream in the grief

They sing,

people have this strange belief.

While writing about you,

I am out of word

You are my planetmate, bird.

My bird, bird, bird.

Safe mode

Both of us are in the alert mode

Having bullets, gun, pistol, dry ration, first aid kit, water bottle

Responsibility of security for my native citizen

And the smiling pic of my three year old daughter

The promise I made to her that I will come soon, the heaviest load.

And I am very much sure

My so called  opponent too have all of these with some change

And both of us were just steps far from each other’s range

Why we are in this mode?

With lots of load

The man on other side of fence too

Wants to go back to his home

Wants to look after his ailing father

Wants to play with his son/daughter

Then why we are following this code

Why we are in this mode?

With lots of load.

Let’s abolish these boundaries and fences

Let’s give tight hug to people across the fence

Let’s see the world with different lens

The lens that see the whole world as a big family

The world where do not exist boundaries

Across the world just one road connecting to other road

In this world we will gaze each other in love mode

This will be more pleasurable load

We will happy to carry and share that

That is love, care and happiness.

I bet this is the most wanted and safe mode for humanity.

To meet and part is a part of life.

To part and meet is hope of life.

Listen the music of nature around you. Water the magical liquid we have. Almost everyone has undeclared romance with running water. It bring back the child hidden somewhere in adults.
