Khayal

 

Ye kaisi kashmakash hai,
Jo bhi karo, jaisa bhi karo,
Ant main khayal aa hi jata hai...

kya maine sahi kiya ya galat?
Kya main kuch aur kar sakta tha?
Kisi pehlu ko doosre nazariye se dekh sakta tha?
Agar maine aisa kiya hota toh kya hota?
Agar kuch vesa kiya hota toh kya hota?


Chanchal chit se vichalit mann ka ye safar 
Kaffi vidambana main chod jata hai
Ant main ye khayal aa hi jata hai...

Gwalior ki Diwali


Gwalior ki Diwali ka, 
Maza hi kuch aur hai

Chaurasiya ki chuaki ka
Aur Shankar ki kulfi ka...
Maza hi kuch aur hai

Bade pe shopping ka
Aur food joints ki hopping ka…
Maza hi kuch aur hai

Purane Dotson se  Milne ka
Aur BSNL chok pe baithne ka….
Maza hi kuch aur hai

Sarafe ki sajawat ka
Aur ghar ki mithai ka...
Maza hi kuch aur hai

Train se Utar kar thandi main ghar aane ka
Zindagi ok thoda slow pace pe lane ka…Maza hi kuch aur hai

Gift of Life!

 

What is life?

It is a gift! Gift that my parents have given to me. If they have not made love I could not have seen this world. This may sound crude but this is the fact. If my mother would not have conceived me for 9 months, I would not have seen this world. There were so many things that had to fall in place to ensure my birth. Not only that there are so many other things that had to fall in place for me to living and leading a life that I am living today!

Is any amount of gratitude or giving back will be sufficient to compensate to universe? Well I do not know the answer. What I know for sure is that mere consciousness of this fact that I am always indebted to this universe and keeping that humility within me is going to keep me up and running.

D&I | Learning from Cricket!



Something unique happened in Indian Cricket Team this week. Players played Paytm Series 5th match against New Zealand (on 29th Oct 2016) with their Mother's name inscribed on Jerseys. This was done consciously to recognize mother's effort in bringing them up & shaping them as Sports person.

In an interview prior to match Indian Skipper(MS Dhoni) said "We are quite used to having the surnames from the dad’s side. And, what’s important is to appreciate the stuff that mothers have done for us.”

Further he said “It’s a very emotional connect and it’s good that it’s put on a public platform. I would like to request the whole of India to keep this in mind and appreciate them everyday,”

He also emphasised that a mother's contribution is as important as of Soldiers to the Nation. This is the first time the Indian cricketers are wearing the jerseys with their mothers’ names.

In Organisations we often talk about building cultural sensitivity & increasing diverse mindset. I believe this initiative is great example to enhance Diversity & Inclusion culture in Corporates aswell.



Note: This Initiative is a brainchild of Star India aimed to highlight the importance of mothers in people's lives.

नीला रंग

नीला रंग है...

आँखों का, जो सपने देखा करती हैं । 
झील का, जो प्यास बुझाया करती है ।
नील का, जो चमक उजागर करती है ।
युनान का, जहाँ शहरों में रौनक बसती है ।
आसमान का, जो ऊँचा सोचने को प्रेरित करता है । 
दर्द का, जो सहनशक्ति इस्त्रोत करता है । 
फ़ूलो का, जो सुगंध का उन्माद कराते है । 
नीलम का, जो भाग्य बनाया करता है । 
अशोकचक्र का, जो धर्म का प्रतीक है । 
पृथ्वी का, जो भ्रमांड में चमकती है । 
स्याही का, जिसपे यह कलम चला करती है ।
