Peshawar School Massacre-Feeling angry and pained!!!

किस मज़हब में लिखा है की लोगों को मारना धर्म है? किस कुरान या किसी धार्मिक ग्रंथ में लिखा है की निर्दोष, निरपराध, निरीह लोगों को मारने से जन्नत नसीब होती है? कत्लेआम, हैवानियत, दरिंदगी जिसका मज़हब और ईमान हो, वो इंसान कहलाने लायक नहीं, वरण उसे तो एक नरभक्षी राक्षश कहा जायेगा। जैसा कत्लेआम पेशावर में हुआ, वैसा ना कभी हुआ था ना कभी हमने इसकी कल्पना भी की थी। यह एक भयावह सपने की तरह आया और वास्तविकता बन गया। मासूमों को भेद बकरियों की तरह मारा गया, कुचला गया।

उन्हे तो पता ही नहीं चला की क्या हो गया। सोच कर ही मन घबरा जाता है की उन बच्चो पे क्या बीत रही होगी जो अपने ही आंखो के सामने अपने साथियों को मरते हुये देख रहे होंगे, और अपनी बारी का इंतेज़ार कर रहे होंगे। सोच कर ही पूरा सरीर सिहर उठता है, तो उन मासूमों पर क्या गुजरी होगी। हर जगह खून से लथपथ अपने सहपाठियों को देख, वे तो वैसे ही आतंकित हो गये होंगे। जिंदगी भर के लिये उन्हे एक भयावह सपना मिल गया, जो ताजिंदगी उनके साथ एक नासूर के तरह रहेगा।

१३२ बच्चे…..१३२ मायें तबाह हो गयी, १३२ अरमानों की बलि चढ़ गयी और १३२ माओं की कोख उजड़ गयी। इससे बड़ी त्रासदी क्या हो सकती है, की एक मां, एक बाप आज आपने ही जिगर के टुकड़े को कब्र मे दफना रहा है……अपने ही सामने, अपने लख्तेजिगर को हमेशा के लिये अलबिदा कह रहा है। क्या बिगड़ा था इन मासूमों ने किसीका? ये तो बेपरवाह परिंदे थे…..भगवान, अल्लाह की नेमत थें..आखिर क्यूं? क्या मिला इन्हे मार के? अखबार में सुर्खियाँ, दुनिया को खौफ का संदेश!! अगर यही बात है, तो तुम सफल हुये!! पर ये मत भूलों की इन मासूमों के खून से हाथ धो कर तुमने बड़ा कुछ हासिल किया है, तुम तो कायर हो…तुम्हे तो दोज़ख में भी जगह नहीं मिलेगी!!! तुम आतंकवादी, वहसी दरिन्दे क्या सोचते हो की तुम्हारे मारने से इंसानियत मर जायेगी, नहीं!!! कभी नहीं!!! अलबत्ता, आज इंसानियत और भी एक हो गयी है, लामबन्द है तुम कायरों का सामना करने के लिये। आज हम सबो के हौसले और भी मजबूत हो गये हैं, तुम्हे नेस्तनाबूत करनेके लिये। आज पूरी दुनिया एक हो गयी है और तुम्हारा खात्मा तय है। तुम चाहे कोई भी हो, भगवान नहीं। तुम्हारा अंत निस्चित है क्योंकि आज जो तुमने किया है वो केवल निन्दनिया ही नहीं बल्कि घोर अपराध है, जिसकी सजा केवल तुम्हारा खात्मा ही है। बस अब उल्टी गिनती सुरु…… अंत में मेरी भावभीनी श्राधांजलि, उन मासूमों के नाम…….जाओ बच्चो, हम सब तुम्हे याद करेंगे और तुम्हारी सहादत बेजा जाने नहीं देंगे। जाओ, तुम जहां जा रहे हो वहां बहुत प्यार मिलेगा……… मन मे ये आशा है की पाकिस्तान की हुकूमत और अवाम इसका मुंहतोड़ जवाब देगी और एक एक से इसका बदला लेगी……

“When your child dies,you bury him in your heart, he only dies the day you die”-#pashtoquote

Taliban you surely are going to rot in hell. You have shamed humanity and you Dont deserve to be called humans, worst not even animals. Killing the little flowers, the beautiful creation of God, Allah and Bhagwan and you call yourself devout. Allah is surely going to take a stock of your dastardly act and make sure you rot here. Pakistan need to introspect and should take grip of the situation, while not making any distinction between good and bad terrorism. All sort of terrorism, be it aimed at india or ethnic terrorism, religious terrorism. It shouldn’t have taken the killing of these innocent lives for Pakistan to learn a lesson. Hope they resolve to obliterate these weeds from the face of Pakistan. Dont need any more of such tragedy!!!!

Kismat

  

जमाना तो जमाना  है, बदलते रहेगा
किस्मत मे जो लिखा है वो होके  रहेगा
किस्मत को बदलनेय का माद्दा रखते हैं हम
यह हम नहीं, यह जमाना  भी कहेगा

माना ये  किस्मत का खेल भी अजीब है
जो लिखा होता है, उससे ज्यादा मिलता नहीं
मुझे कहाँ ज्यादा की पड़ी  है, मेरे दोस्त
सुकून, चैन मिल जाये, जिंदगी मस्त रहेगा

कभी मिले किस्मत तो पूछूंगा मैं
क्यूं कर ये  खेल खिलाया
किसी को आराम और सुकून दी  तूने
तो किसी को जिंदगी भर रुलाया….

जो रोते हैं, वो किस्मत को कोष्ते होंगे
किस्मत जिसपे मेहरबान, वे  उसे पूजते होंगे
हमने तो एक हाथ की दूरी  पर रखी है किस्मत को
मेहनत पर है यकीन, तो क्यूं इस खेल मे शरीक होंगे

Kashimir-The Ravaged Jannat……

कश्मीर-जन्नत फिर से बनायेंगे

जो था कभी जन्नत, वो आज बर्बाद सा नज़र आता है,
जिधर भी नज़र गयी, वहां तबाही का मंजर दिख जाता है |
सैकड़ो की गयी जान, लाखों तबाह हुए ,
हर तरफ बस सैलाब ही नज़र आता है |
जहां चलती थी खुशियों की क़िस्ती, वहां मातम नज़र आता है,
दरख्त-ए-चिनार पे अब कहाँ नाज़ आता है |
फैली है चारों ओर एक स्याह की चादर,
हर एक शक्श के चेहरे पे खौफ नज़र आता है |
वादी-ए-कश्मीर पे यह कौन सा कहर बरपा है ,
की हर एक जान बेजान सा नज़र आता है |
बेजार सी इस भूमि को जन्नत फिर से बनाना है,
भारत के इस ताज को फिर से मुकम्मल बनाना है |

कौन कहता है की यह मुमकिन नहीं है ,
हमे तो हर भारतीय में एक कश्मीर नज़र आता है |
है इरादे बुलंद, मिलकर आगे बढ़ना है ,
नाकामी, मायूषी को छोड़, कश्मीर को आगे बढ़ाना है |
करते हैं हम सब वादा, साथ कभी ना छोड़ेंगे,
कतरा कतरा से ही सही कश्मीर को फिर से जोड़ेंगे |
खिल उठेगी फिर से जन्नत, दिखेगा फिरसे इसका नूर,
मिलकर जब चलेंगे हम सब, वो दिन नहीं रहेगा दूर ||

Lets make it happen!!!!

Narendra Modi and the ghost of Gujarat Riots

Whenever there is a reference to Narendra Modi, people tend to bring in Gujarat riot and present him as a devil incarnate, a demon who is after the blood of the minorities. Though they keep on bashing Modi for the 2002 riot but the never ever utter a single word abot the GODHRA massacre which led to the riots. Why? Its a “matter of convenience” for them. Having said that, Gujarat riot has seen much more convictions than any other riots which happened in India post-independence. Its not that riots have never happened in any other parts of India. Gujarat itself has been a home of riots, a place of Hindu-Muslim enmity for long. Riots have happened in Gujarat in different regimes, then why only Modi is demonised? Have we forgotten the infamous massacre of SIKHS in 1984? the whole machinery, including MP’s joined in killing the SIKHS. What was the conviction rate? A big ZERO!! What have we to say about the 1993 Mumbai riots? Was Modi there? Nellie, Assam where 1000s were butchered, is still a blot but who talks about it?
Prior to 2002, there had been many riots in Gujarat alone killing over 1000s people which clearly shows that Gujarat had been a hub of riots between the Hindus and Muslims. But the so-called intellectuals, who love to be on talk shows, never highlights these facts. They also dont bring to the fore that out of the total people killed post-Godhra, almost 30% were Hindus
Am not holding any brief for Modi, neither am saying that it wasnt his duty to protect the people of his state but am only questioning the attitude of these intellectuals who keep on demonising Modi. why dont they talk about all the riots prior to 2002 and post that as well? why are they not talking about Muzzafarnagar? if Modi is to be made accountable for 2002 riots they many other parties and their CM’s should also be held accountable. One just cant pick and choose as a matter of convenience.
The point is not that riots are a routine business in India. No doubt its bad! but facts are facts. Riots happened during pre-independence, during partition, post independence and even after Gujarat 2002. 

Below is a list of various riots which happened in India

Who is talking about all the other riots? In some of the cases, it was known to everybody that the riots were politically motivated and the government were complicit in the act, yet nobody is talking and no major convictions.
The moot point is that people should see-though the politics and game of deceit being played by the politicians in maligning the image of Modi. There is much more than Gujarat 2002. People in Gujarat has moved on and its pertinent to mention here that since 2002, we have not heard of a single riot in Gujarat. Why? Almost 25% of the Muslim voted for Modi. Why? This Modi bashing should stop and people should introspect and see the brighter aspect of Modi and Modi’s governance. One cant deny the fact that he has been an inspiration for Gujarat and his development speaks for itself. But all the opponents know about his credentials is the Gujarat 2002. Could understand their dilemma and just can have a laugh on them and have pity on them. They cant compete him in his vision, his thoughts and his deeds……….

Teri Tasveer

Tere intezaar mein yeh shaam dhalney lagi
Jaise sabnam ka ek katra, baharon mein ghulney lagi….
Kashish si reh gayi is dil mein tere didaar ki….
Khayalon mein hi sahi par teri tasveer banney lagi…..
Dil chahta hai is tasweer ko gale laga loon…
Tujhsey milney ki woh puraani khwaish puri kar loon…
Par haqueeqat mein jo baat hai woh tasweer mein kahan…
Tujhsey milkar apni dil ki baat is jubaan par rakh loon…
Keh doon jo bhi dil mein jo tammanayen hai….

Phir fursat se teri yaadon ke saath ek neend so loon….

Yaadein (in the memories lane…..)

Yaadein

Gujarey huye waqt ki galiyaaron se jab gujarta hoon…..
apni masumiyat pey aaj bhi marta hoon…
kya din thein aur kya thi raatein…..
yaad hai aaj bhi yaar doston ki baatein…..
beparwah rehtey thein sab uljhano se…..
mast maula firtey thein,masti pure man se…
kabhi maine doston ko, kabhi doston ne mujhe sambhala…..
jab kabhi bhi musibaton se pada pala…
purane dino ki abhi bhi yaad hain taazi…
kaise hum sab ne milkar maari thi baazi…
Doston ki price collections ko dekhtey thein….
par kya kartey bas man masosh ke rehtey thein…
sochtey thein kabhi aayega apna bhi din…….
chaara daaltey thein par koi chidiya kare to bin…
kuch doston ke kismat pe rasq hota tha…..
“kya kismat paayi hai”-yeh point pey discussion hota tha…
Chehrey pey khushi par man to aakhir rota tha….
discussion se kya hota hai,apna sikka hi khota tha….
Jaane kab gujar gaye woh din, pata na chala
Mujhko aaj phir yeh dil yaadon ke rahon pe le chala…..
bas baaki hai to bas yaadein….
yaad hai aaj bhi yaar doston ki baatein…..

Patriotism (or POPCORN PATRIOTISM)

Patriotism today is just a name, a rarity in phenomenon.Today patriotism means sitting in the safe bounds of our home on a SOFA, munching potato chips, watching TV and passing comments like a great philosopher or nationalist.Being critical to whatever … Continue reading →

Delhi ROCKED AGAIN!!!!

Its such a pity that we call ourselves a developing nation, a would be super-power, a force to reckon. But do you really feel that we are really there or are we fooling ourselves. Are we not living a false dream? See the fate of us common people…..there are corrupt politicians, corrupt officials who eats up our hard earned moneys and on the other side there are terrorists who eat up our hard-earned lives. We are just lame sitting ducks!!!!! What a fate???

Isn’t it ironical that the people whom we elect for governance, defense and to run our so called democracy are unable to instill even a little faith in our system? The terrorists seems more committed than these politicians….at least which is to destabilize India, create a sense of chaos and anarchy. And they have done well in it!! You don’t get a sense of security living in India. We feel as if we are at the mercy of these terrorists because they can maim you whenever they wish to…Only thing is that they don’t wish too often.
Some critical and serious questions need to be asked:
1.Do we really deserve this?
2.How long this will continue?
3.How many more innocent lives have to be sacrificed?
4.How many times do we have to move in the garb of resilience and fighting spirit after every attack, whereas inside we are actually **** afraid?
These are all open ended questions but have to be closed with some concrete actions from the government. First step being quick closure of KASAB and the terror head of parliament attack….This will create a sense of deterrence.
Lets face it with the politicians being so dumb headed and so hell-bent in appeasement, its difficult to even dream of this.
We are just playing in the hands of the terrorists (read GOD)!!!!!

The poem that moved me……after a long time

You know what with the advent of television and its satellite version, we simply tend to develop new tastes. And with new tastes acquired, we find enough time to accommodate them even at times doing away with certain important chores. Recently, I developed the taste of watching daily soaps (thanks to my wifey). And yes I mean it when I thank her as it’s because of her I happened to hear few lines of a poem. These lines were just blunt but yet sharp enough to reach your heart. The poem was by one Dushyant Kumar, a poet of Hindi literature. I have never heard of him but when I heard those few lines, I was simply moved by it and the next day I spent scouring through the net in search of his poems. The subjects of his poem are very touchy yet revolutionary, close to one’s heart, relevant. The verses are well composed, very lucid, invigorating, and one is surely bound to look within and tend to look around oneself to draw parallels.

I take this privilege to reproduce one of his poem…….”Ho Gayi Hai Peer Parvat Si…….” I need not explain……its self-explanatory…….

Hello blogging mates…..

Hi folks! It’s my first try in this blogging world. Heard a lot about it but didn’t feel like trying it. But now it seems as though the world surely would be missing me (just kidding!!!). Was getting curious with these blogs and the people who do blogging! Felt like joining it and so here I’m albeit a BANG.

But yes, I’m here to stay and contribute my views to this world of blogging though I might not have the very nuances of blogging and you might find me wanting at one place or the other yet I will surely enrich my colleagues and fellow bloggers with my thoughts and views.

Rest assured for a good reading though you might agree to disagree with my thoughts which at times might be radical, can be rightist, or at times be apolitical but all in all you would find diffrent strokes in my blogs………….Chalo then for now.. 🙂
