ढूंढ़ते रह जाओगे

दिवाली में घर को रंगाना पूताना
कचरे हटा कर फिर उसको सजाना 
सड़क पे बोतल मे राकेट का उड़ाना 
मोहल्ले में बड़ो का आशीर्वाद पाना 

होली में पानी के गुब्बारे बनाना 
पडोसी की टंकी में रंगो को मिलाना 
नहा कर दोबारा फिर रंगीन हो जाना
और हफ्ते भर घस उन रंगो को छुड़ाना 

छुट्टिओं में रिश्तेदारों  से मिलने जाना 
बड़े बुजुर्गो का फिर वो कहानी सुनाना  
फर्श पर फिर सबके बिछावन लगाना 
और सोने की जगह  बस गप्पे लड़ाना 

मूंगफली के छिलकों का पहाड़ बनाना 
आम को पेड़ो से चुरा  कर के खाना 
भरी धूप में उन पापड़ों को सुखाना 
खट्टी कैरी का मीठा आचार बनाना 

रविवार को रामायण का एपिसोड आना 
और सड़को का तब सुनसान हो जाना 
अमीन साहनी के बिनाका गीत माला 
और लता का "मिले सुर मेरा तुम्हारा "

फ़ौरन रिटर्न' भाईओं से ईर्ष्या लगाना 
पर उनसे ही फिर कई तोहफ़े मंगाना 
अमरीका जाने के सुहाने सपने सजाना 
भविष्य की उम्मीद पे छुप के' मुस्कुराना

y did it happen 2 me

She was somebody whom I knew for years And we had been through smiles and tears. Our friendship turned people around green And I wish the thing were as they had been But both time and people change And now her face has become strange Her feelings have changed, also her behavior All I am left with is pain to bear She has moved on to people who are better And in this God has been a great helper She has found people who will be better friend Those who would be there till very the end Just hope that her life is devoid of tear And of sadness she has no fear And now, in her life, I realize who I was I… I was just a brief pause For her I was a railway station Just another stop before her final destination Like a train she stopped at it for some time And I like an idiot thought she was mine Those were the times when we fought a lot But now I wish she forgets me not ‘Coz now she has gone for her destination With me dying for her affection In all this confusion, a friend I lost The friend whom I...

Shouldn’t we be any different?

Getting up at 0530 Hrs in the morning, attending 6 hours classes, coming back home to put in another couple of hours and continuing this routine for almost a year is what it took me to get into IIT (allegedly one of the best institutes in the world). And not only me but almost all the iitians must have put near about same number of hours to crack the coveted JEE. Also for every IITian there are 99 other who follow a similar pattern but do not make it. During their preparation the (would be) iitians can cough up formulas in sleep, solve equations like a computer and reason anything at the speed of light. So one would expect the same students (read the brightest in India) to respect the institute (for which they had to work so hard) and continue the same way to eventually become overachievers (as they are hyped to be). But the real question is do they? I would disagree with anyone who thinks they do. Let me tell you a few anecdotes. Just few months into my first year one ...

Eiffel Tower checked!!!!!!!!

Yes I went to Paris last weekend and it would be one weekend which I would remember for a lifetime to come. I know it’s a bit clichéd but I had one of the best times I ever could. And the parts that I would cherish always aren’t the ones where I saw the museums, cathedrals or the churches. They no doubt are worth a trip to Paris anytime but it was the way we went about seeing them that made it more fun. We did not have a place to live in Paris and it was only because of the two girls (Nikky and Surbhi) and Dev that we able to escape spending the night on the footpath. Thanks a lot to you all. Also can anyone guess the room number we got? It was 420, as if God was telling us how to spend the rest of the weekend. The heading is copied from Nikky’s status message. First things first. Eiffel Tower is as beautiful as you have read/heard/imagined it. For it was more than what I could have dreamed for. When on top the entire Paris seemed to be sprawled at my feet. The setting Sun casting shad...
