बोल दो

बोल दो यही नारा है मेरे जीवन का,
जीवन पर्यंत मै ध्वनि का सूचक हूँ
रोको ना अपने विचारो को, उन्हें आज निकल जाने दो,
देख ले यह सम्पूर्ण जगत तुम्हारे साहस को और सुन ले तुम्हारे मन को,
कई युगों से मुझे तुमने अपने मुख के अधीन बांध रखा है,
कई युगों से मेरा जीवन तुम्हारे विचारो का गुलाम रहा है,

कई नेता,अभिनेता, मित्र, शत्रु आये और मेरे कंठ को अपने मन के स्वरों से सुशोभित कर चले गए,
मैं अपने दिल में कुंठा लेकर बैठा हूँ
जिस शक्ति पर मुझे नाज़ था, उसका तुमने दुरुपयोग किया, युद्ध, दंगो में मुझे इस्तेमाल किया,
गाँधी ने मुझमें जब जान डाली थी,
हिटलर ने जब मेरे प्राण निकाले थे,
तब नेहरु सुभाष और चर्चिल ने मुझमें धैर्य बांधा था
बोल दो यही नारा है मेरे जीवन का |

मेरी एक आवाज़ पर जब लाखो माँओ ने अपने सपूतो को अपनी माँ पर वार दिया,
मेरा जीवन धन्य हुआ,
मुझे याद है वो आज़ादी की पहली आवाज़ जब नेहरु ने मुझे मेरे होने पर गर्व कराया था,
मैं भारत नही विश्व भर में पाया जाता हूँ ,
लोग चिल्लाते बहुत है और मैं हर दूसरी दूकान से ख़रीदा जाता हूँ,
सत्संग में कुसंग मै फैलाता हूँ ,
हर इंसान को लहू का प्यासा बनाता हूँ,
रेलगाड़ी जलवाता हु, शांति के स्वर में अशांति का प्रकोप फैलाता हूँ,
थक गया हु फिर भी चीखता चिल्लाता अपने तारों की मार्मिक स्थिति से हर बार यही गाता हूँ,
बोल दो यही नारा है मेरे जीवन का |

ये सच नहीं की मैं रोता नहीं , बस तालियों की गूंज में सहम सा जाता हूँ,
मै दोष नही देता मेरे चाहने वालो को,
दोष तो मेरे ह्रदय का है जो शब्दों की अगणित माला बुन जाता है,
यह शब्दों का जाल मेरे जीवन का जंजाल हुआ,
विचारो की माला को मैंने अपने ह्रदय से सुशोभित किया,
भूल गए थे जो गाँधी को उनको मैंने जंतर मंतर पर याद किया,
नही थकेगा नही थमेगा यही जीवन संकल्प लिया,
बोल दो यही नारा है मेरे जीवन का |

दूर देश-विदेश तुमको ले जाऊँगा, विवेकानंद के मुख से गीता का रस पिलाऊंगा,
सत्य अहिंसा और बलिदानों को सार्थक कर जाऊँगा,
बोल दो यही नारा है मेरे जीवन का,
इस नारे की परिभाषा को सत्य अटल कर जाऊँगा ,
एक बार नही सौ बार चिल्लाऊंगा,
"सत्यमेव जयते", जब तक तुम नहीं कहते,
तब तक अपने रोम रोम से यही कहता चला जाऊँगा,
बोल दो यही नारा है मेरे जीवन का |

न थकूँगा
बोल दो यही नारा है मेरे जीवन का,
न थमूंगा
बस यही कहूँगा "सत्यमेव जयते" ||

एहसास

क्यों कभी धूप है ज़िन्दगी तो कभी शीतल छाया,
कभी अगर डर है तो कभी निडरता का एहसास 
क्यों कभी गर्व है तो कभी कायरता सी क्रूरता,
माँ तुझे  देख ये दिल कभी खिल उठता है तो
कभी एक मुस्कुराहट क लिये तरसता है 
कभी सिमट जाना चाहत हु तेरी हंसी में 
कभी तेरे आंसुओ को पी जाना चाहता हु 
फिर एक डर सा आ जाता है......
कहीं छिन्न न जाओ तुम ...कहीं छिन्न न जाये ये  बच्पन्न ....
है ये मेरे दिल की इबादत कही पिघल  न जाये ये मोम का तन ....

कभी कभी सोचता हु तू इस मुसीबत में भी कैसे मुस्कुरा रही है 
समझना चाहता हु की तू इतनी हिम्मत कैसे दिखा रही है 
कभी ढूंढना चाहत हु तेरे प्यार का पिटारा 
जानना चाहता हु क्यों कभी मानी और कभी नहीं मानी तुने मेरी मनमानी 
बनना   चाहता  हु तेरे हाथो के हर ख़ुशी की लकीर 
पर माँ मैं  फिर सहम जाता हु ......
कहीं छिन्न न जाओ तुम ...कहीं छिन्न न जाये ये  बच्पन्न ....
है ये मेरे दिल की इबादत कही पिघल  न जाये ये मोम का तन ..

कभी पाना चाहता हु तेरे विश्वास की हर डोर 
जानना चाहता हु ममता की धीमी से धीमी शोर 
कभी कभी तो तुझे देख आंसू थमते ही नहीं 
हर पल तेरे साथ होना चाहत हु .....

मैं शायद समझा लू अपने आप को हर घबराहट में ...
मैं  शायद रोंद दू हर ख़ुशी को चाहत से ...
मैं  शायद खिल उठू दोबारा ले तेरा सहारा ....
पर माँ गर तू  छोड़ चली गयी....

               छिन्न जायेगा ये बचपंन 
               छिन्न जाएगी मासूमियत 
               चिन्न जाएगी जीने की आस 
               छिन्न जायेगा मुझसे मेरा हर "एहसास"....

BEING A GIRL!!!!!

"agle janam mohe bitiya na kijo"

a line quite often said....but why???

*because we feel our lives tied in countless laws and rituals or because we don't try to get freedom??

*because our parents put so much restrictions on us or because we fail to convince them??

*because we always complain about discriminations done or because we do favour it sometimes for our benefits??

*because we have to do all the household stuff or because we dont try to be independent and make a life of our own??

Dozy are those who say being a girl is a curse.

What more can make us proud than the fact that we are the creators of every child; behind every successful man,lies a woman; and the best managers in life are women,be it management of time,money or life.

A woman is an epitome of beauty sensuality and elegance but at the same time,is in no manner less in terms of power and strength.She is the most understanding creation on earth.The love and care of a mother is incredible and nothing can acquire its place.

What we think is always on us.We are the creators of our destiny and believe me,gender is never a factor affecting it.

For all girls who still think they lack behind i would like to tell its not because you are a girl,rather it is because you dont deserve to lead. One who doesn't have confidence in oneself can't come to a decision for the entire population of girls.

The american man of letters said-"There is in every true woman's heart a spark of heavenly fire,which lies dormant in the broad daylight of prosperity,but which kindles up and beams ad blazes in the dark hour of adversity.

Come out of your over protective shell and you will discover that you are no less than any other thing in this world and that you can do anything you want!!!

To end with,I would site a quote of Helen Lawrenson: "If a women is sufficiently ambitious,determined and gifted, there is practically nothing she can't do."

An Inarticulate Urge

Take me where it all began,

Help me up to fight again;

Show me that good people,

Always stay the same.

Fix my world that was,

Crushed way back.

Cause I’ve lost something;

That can’t be replaced.

Show me that good things,

Come to those who wait.

Trust me more,

When I least expect that.

Judge me by what I do,

And not by what I say.

Show me that,

Goodwill can never fade away.

Question me when,

I make a mistake.

Betray me if,

I really deserve that.

But still show me,

Goodness does exist even in hell.

''Football : d deSPORTivos ''

 
                       
It starts with a leather ball
With 22 grown men,running after it..

They dance,they glow,
they push,
they scream,
They use words no mother wants to hear..

As 90 minutes is all they have.
To be treated as god..
Or labelled as a fiasco..

And sometimes at the end of the battle.
Ignoring the multiple tv cameras
they break down n cry.

Would u still dare call it a simple,
leather ball?

Abandoned

There was a boy,
Often involved in a ploy,
Pretending to be a coy,
Playing with emotions like a toy,
Thinking it to be a medium of joy.
  
Initially not noticed by many,
Thinking him to be as sweet as honey,
Everyone loved and cared this young Jenny,
But once got hold of his irony,
Were filled with anger and agony.
  
Reprimanded for his act of stupidity,
Everyone turned off their gesture of lucidity,
Was sidelined and there prevailed an aura of tranquility,
When abandoned, pondered over his propensity,
Returned back, promised to respect others individuality.

Right to Education: What is Right and What is Wrong?

“The whole purpose of education is to turn mirrors into windows” is well said phrase by Sydney J. Harris. Its cent percent right. Knowledge is what imparted to the children firstly by their parents which is called “informal” education and it is the first step in child’s life that can make or ruin his life. It is informal because it is not provided in any school or in any classroom. It is provided in an environment that helps the child to grow and build its mentality at the very early stage of his life. The second phase of a child’s life is his/her school that provides him the environment in which he learns to cooperate, to perform well in every walk of life and what it is called is “formal” education. Thus both informal and formal education is necessary for a child for his development. But today, do all children have access to this education? What happens when children couldn’t get what he deserves? When their parents’ inability ruin their lives?
In India, nearly 14 crore children are depriving of education. Who is responsible for all this? Numerous questions and a few answers. Their parents’ inability and lack of understanding proves a bane for the entire life of their children. But above all, the government is taking a number of initiatives that helps these children. Some of the praiseworthy initiatives are Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, Sarva Shiksha Abhyan, Mid Day Meal Scheme and many more. Right of Children to free and compulsory education is providing free education to the children of age 6-14. These acts not only take care of education of children but also provide them an environment to maintain their health and nutrition level. But these acts are facing number of challenges today.
One of the challenging situations for RTE is that private schools don’t agree to make 25% reservation for minority children. They don’t agree to impart free education to minority children. Recently in Karnataka, two such children expelled out from a private school only because they are minors. But is it right? Why the private institutions are behaving like this even after knowing that the education is a right of every child? The main reason could be the discrimination in such institutions. Children of belonging to rich families study in these institutions. They may feel less comfort by studying with these children. It may result in fall of “business” of private school. But what should be done to combat these problems? In fact the students should be well trained and should provide education on the lessons of indiscrimination. They should learn to educate in a cooperative environment.
The government didn’t have proper number of teachers to teach children. Less pupil-teacher ratio may result in improper and unhealthy education. The less pupil-teacher ratio is the result of desire of teachers to earn more and more money. The teachers are providing private tuitions to the students. The primary reason why teachers underperform in the classes is the want of additional income. Banning teachers from doing this won’t do away with the problems. Under the strict norms of RTE full fledge educationists should be appointed. The local authorities should be appointed in each district to verify these cases.
Other implication of RTE is that the unrecognised schools should be shut down after 3 years of RTE came into force. Do really these unrecognised schools should be shut down? Today most of the unrecognised schools are solving outreach problems of the school going children. In large slums these unrecognised schools are imparting education to the children. These unrecognised
schools are not the alternatives to the recognised schools. In fact these are the alternatives for education not at all! Do still the unrecognised schools should be disposed off?
One implication of the RTE is that no children shall be failed or expelled from the school till he/ she completes his/her elementary education. Now the questions arise here that is it advantageous for children? Should the students be promoted in the higher standard before he or she does not attain the level what is required for the next class? The intention of this rule is no doubt to support the students who are not able to attain the level of the performance required to gain admission in the next class. But what about the skill development of such children? Failure, no doubt may cause the child to intensely doubt his/her abilities. But remaining in the same class after failure may help the children to develop their skills. If he/she is promoted to the next class, it may ruin his entire life and he would have no chance to build his/her skills again. The government also suggests that the board exams should not be taken during the period of elementary education. The government thinks that the board exams put unnecessary pressure on the students at a young age. But exam pressure is a part of life. The system should face such pressures instead of doing away with them. The reason why the board exams should be taken is that it will also help the government to evaluate the performance of students as well as teachers and to evaluate the RTE that how successful it is going in the country. The students will, in fact, learn to perform well in such “pressures”.
So, in accordance with the measures discussed above, the government should take initiative to make the Right of children to free and compulsory education much more effective.

 Failing should be allowed in the schools because it would help the students to develop their skills. It acts as a critical feedback for both teachers and students. Poor feedback means lack of knowledge about their inabilities and it will smash the whole system. This will also ensure the lesser burden on students in their higher classes.

1.  Unrecognised schools should not be disposed off. These schools are the alternatives for education not at all! Instead of education in a recognised school. The unrecognised schools are imparting education to those children who are living in a very critical situation in the slums or the students who are living in remote areas. One initiative that the government should take is that it has to recognise all these schools which are performing better instead of being aided by government.
2. Proper sanitation facilities should be provided in the schools along with education especially for girls.
3. Teacher-pupil ratio should be improved. The government should appoint well educated teachers. Proper verification should be done from time to time. Teachers should be banned from opening their private tuitions. Proper training should be given to the teachers at the very early stage of their teaching.
4. Board exams should be taken. It helps the government to evaluate the performance of the teachers as well as students. School tests etc. also help to evaluate the performance of the students but board exams pressurise the students as well as teachers to perform well.
5.  Government should introduce some incentives to help poor students to continue their study after 14 years of age.

These are some of the steps that government should take to ensure an effective RTE.

 It Happened To Me <3<3

                         

  


In this journey of life.

                    I met a girl of my type.

She was so full of life.

                   Just like an angel from the sky.

                   When I first heard her voice.

                    Felt like I was in paradise.

                    And when I looked into her eyes.

                    I saw the seventh sky.

Chorus:      It happened to me .!!

                    Oh yeah...

                    I think Love is in the breeze..!!

                    Oh yeah..

                    Reason to feel it is she..!!

                    Oh yeah....

                    Someone stole my Heart from meeee......

                  

                    Its awkward but I’ll confess.

                    Without her its difficult to breathe

                    Implying that she’s my ‘JJ’ and i am her ‘Bumblebee’

                    A thought is stuck in my mind

                    To tell my feelings  tonight

                    She’s the one whom I feel

                   Which gives me creep from inside.

Chorus:      It happened to me .!!

                    Oh yeah...

                    I think Love is in the breeze..!!

                    Oh yeah..

                    Reason to feel it is she..!!

                    Oh yeah....

                    Someone stole my Heart from meeee......

                   

                    And then I realised

                    Its the symbol from dove

                    That this craziness is just coz i have fallen in Love.... <3<3
