धागे

उलझनें तो सबको होती है
फिर मैं ही क्यों घबराता हूँ
बस धागे है ये तो रंग बिरंगे
खुद को इन्हीं में उलझा पाता हूँ

बहुत मजबूत थेे जो ये धागे
जिन्हें खुद पर लिपटा पाता हूँ
बस बाहर निकलने की ही जिद्द थी
इन्हें हर वक़्त तोड़ता जाता हूँ ।

जितना रोज़ काट कर सोता
उतना ही फिर उलझा पाता हूँ
नहीं जानता किसने किया सब
पर रोज़ इन्हें सुलझाता हूँ ।

करने को तो ये भी था मुश्किल
जितना तोडूं उतना ही बंधता जाता हूँ
सोचता हूँ छोड़ दूं तोड़ना इनको
मगर अनजाने ही लड़ता जाता हूँ ।

इंतज़ार अंत का है मुझे भी
पर धागों में लिपटा पाता हूँ
ये भी तो ज़िद्दी है बहुत
इन्हीं में जकड़ा जाता हूँ ।

एक दिन सुहाना आएगा
जब धागे डरते जाएंगे
खुश बहुत हो जाऊंगा
जब ये खुद को टूटते पाएंगे  ।

अहसास इन्हें भी होगा उस दिन
जो दर्द मैं झेलता जाता हूँ
एक उसी उम्मीद के सहारे
ज़िंदा खुद को रख पाता हूँ ।piyush.joshi18@in.com

Naked

A few months back, I came across a  YouTube short  of  Slavoj Žižek . I don’t watch reels or shorts as it’s a rabbit hole. Once you’re in, getting out is hard. That reel was a part of his interview and had a story.  Žižek  is a Slovenian philosopher. A girl came to  Žižek  and told him that when his last lover saw her naked, he told her to lose a few extra pounds. Her lover thinks she will be perfect once she loses 3 -4 extra pounds.  Žižek  told her not to lose that extra pound. He said that imperfection is the cause of desire. This imperfection held him close to her. He might lose interest in her once she loses those extra pounds. It is called the objective cause of desire in psychoanalysis. That brought two things to my mind. First, we are humans and naturally wired to find negatives anywhere. It is just simple threat protection mechanism. So if the girl secrets the extra pound, his partner’s eyes would the...

Bad Company : With a touch of Indian history

Those who do not read the history tend to repeat it.  Ever heard the above quote ?    In school we had a story of a bad company and a friend of mine, Sanjay said jokingly 'all company is bad company'. Don't go into grammatical errors of it since we were Hindi medium students and more importantly kids. I think both of us now working for some corporate would agree to this with some extent but I am sure that Sanjay had not said this keeping corporate in mind because we were in middle school and we did not know where would we go.  Possible comparison he must have done is East India Company to Bad company of friends, bad friends can do enough damage to you in similar ways that East India Company did to India. Though, this reasoning can now be linked to corporate as well. Choice is personal and reasoning as well, but the thought can not be discarded altogether at once. I do have my reasons but let's get into history and see if we have something in common between East Indi...
