सवाल

काली रातों में टिमटिमाते तारे ऐसे लगते  हैं जैसे हकीकत के समंदर में ख़्वाबो के टापू  । तारों के होने से रोशनी तो नहीं मिलती मगर रोशनी होने का एह्शाश जरूर हो जाता है । ख्वाबो में रहकर हकीकत से छुटकारा तो नहीं मिलता मगर खुशनुमे हकीकत का एक नजारा जरूर मिल जाता है । अंधरे - रोशनी , ख़्वाब - हकीकत इनकी जद्दो जिहद में जिंदगी का कारवाँ आगे निकल ही चलता है । सवालों की गर्मी और जवाबों...

Free Advice

What can be more sad for Facebook than TRAI banning its "altruistic" venture to provide free Internet to billion Indians? HRD ministry banning Facebook for wasting our youths precious time in only making friends and not learning skills to Make In India. But since our PM himself is friend with Mark, Facebook may not have to worry about this in near future. But this friendship comes with a cost....

Better Infrastructure Improves Public Behavior

Everyone behaves well when they are happy or at least when they are not in stress. And what makes us happy is, if everything going as desired or as planned. Better infrastructure does precisely that. It makes thing predictable. You can plan things based on the previous knowledge and it will play out as predicted. I would like to mention one very peculiar thing which I observed while travelling in...

Cinema and Society

Literature is the mirror of society. Well that can very well be extended to cinema as well. And in fact in modern time the latter make more sense going by the sheer volume of audience cinema attracts than a book. Cinema reflects our society back at us. Though sometime we are unable to sense it as there is so much disparity in society itself. A virtually westernised urban audience fails to see it's...

Do Result Justify Means?

Should we accept that everything we did was great, if the outcome was a resounding success? Should we not learn from our successes too, as we are told to learn from our failures? There is always a luck (uncertainty) factor in every success and once may be your compromises got overcompensated by luck factor, but you cannot always bank upon that. for example you didn't prepare one chapter but still...

Hierarchy, Not a very good thing

Everyone has got some level of stupidity or intelligence in them. Someone has less, someone has more. But when many people interact, this level cancels out and comes down to the average of the group. So if average is more than normal that team performs better and if average is less than normal, things do not go down very well. However If strict hierarchical structure is created then the stupidity...

शफेद रंग

रंगो से भरे पंख फड़फड़ाती तितली रंगो के पीछे ही भागती है । कभी कभी तो ऐसा लगता है जैसे उसे पता ही नहीं की कितने रंगीन हैं उसके खुद के पंख काश कभी ठहर कर, साँस लेकर देख पाती अपने रंगीन पंखो को , काश कुछ देर रुक कर आत्मलोकन  कर पाती शायद उसकी ज़िन्दगी भी रंगीन हो जाती उन फूलो की रंगो की तरह जिनके फीछे रोज़ भागती है वो । मगर इतनी फुर्शत किसे कि कोई ठहरे अगर रुकेंगे तो...

As rightly said by Mr. Arvind Kejriwal it's not just a win of a Aam Aadmi Party(AAP) but win of Aam Aadmi, who stood up against undesirable...

Truth Beyond The Canvas

Hanging in the gallery were those paintings They saw a mirthful girl, with wavy silky hair playing with the wind as she was marching ahead, I could see the fear of femicide in her eyes entrenched since before she was even born. They saw a boy playing in park trying to jump to catch a ball, I could see the weight of expectations loaded on his back pulling him down. They saw leafless trees in barren...

मिनरल वाटर

कच्ची सड़क से धूल उड़ाते हुए गुजरते कार के शीशे से बाहर फेंके जाने पर उसे अहसास हुआ कितनी गर्मी है बाहर, शायद वातानुकूलित पिंजड़े के अंदर सूरज की भी मर्ज़ी नहीं चलती | कारों का काफिला गुजरने और धूल का गुबार पसरने के बाद उसे दिखा सुखतीं फसलें , फसलों को आशाहीन नजरों से देखते किसानो के सपाट चेहरे के पीछे छिपा हुआ दर्द और उनके मुरझाए हुए सपने  | उसने अनुमान लगाया शायद यही है ड्राउट...
