अन्तर्मुख

Like a lone wolf dies, But a pack of wolf survives, In a cold dark forest, Any individual may lost. Striving to survive, And frightened to die. Alone in that forest, I too was lost, And yeah, loving you costs. In the cruel cold hearted jungle, Trying to be good and humble. But you’re far away, Here I am alone, When i took knife in heart, You were gone. Though I still love you, And loved you the most, But yeah, loving you, costs. You knew what I’ve been through, You knew all of it was true. All I asked for a shoulder to cry, But you didn’t even wanted to try. Trusted you, was it a mistske ? Gave you chances, but you didn’t take. Sitting in a corner, alone, Still loving you, but you’re gone. Deep down in your love, I’m still lost, And yeah, loving you, costs. Had panic attacks everyday, Loved you too much bae. May be more than you deserve, But that was all i could serve. Gave you everything i had, But you thought i was ...

चिंताएं इतनी है कि गिनती अभी जारी है कुछ तो बात है क्योंकि आज दिल कुछ भारी है । अभी दस दिन हुए पुलवामा को ज्ञानी बहुत कुछ कह गए हिम्मतवाले जो भी थे वो भी चुप अब रह गए सभी समझदार नहीं यहां पर गधों से भी लड़ाई जारी है इतना सब कुछ हो गया इसीलिए आज दिल भारी है । जवान ही तो मरा है ऐसी बातें क्यूं करते तुम अगर ना होते वो सीमा पर तो कुत्ते कि मौत मरते तुम उनकी नहीं, ये पता है अपनी जान ही बस प्यारी है सब कुछ लुटा दिया उन्होंने इसीलिए आज दिल भारी है । बड़े सुकून से जो जीते हो महंगी मदिरा भी तुम पीते हो आज भी जो रोटी खाई है उसकी जान की कीमत पर आयी है पर तुमको क्या अड़ी है बस अपनी ही जो पड़ी है क्या सच ही तुझे ये धरती प्यारी है ? यही सोचकर आज दिल भारी है । ये सब देखकर भी शांत है कब तू कुछ बोलेगा कैसे जी रहा इतना होने पर भी कब तेरा खून खौलेगा अब देर ना कर, उठ मेरे यार देश को जरूरत है, कर इसे प्यार कितनी जरूरी तेरी यारी है यही बताने को आज दिल भारी है ।

“Is it fun for you? You don’t understand the value of the occasion/event. This cannot be expected from a person with responsibility and that too of your age. …..” Prof said. It was the year 2015, a day before Republic Day. I was in college and my team was at A-Block of the college for inductions for Republic day performance. A Professor from Mechanical Engineering, who used to play badminton with us (or we used to play with him) was the judge for the inductions. While he was watching the performances, suddenly somebody did something wrong, I don’t know what he did, but Prof scolded him. I was outside the hall and was waiting for my team’s turn. I listened to it. That was the first time I had seen that particular Prof scolded someone. He was quite friendly with students. This is why his words “You don’t understand the value of the occasion …” stuck to my ears. At the moment I thought, Yes I do know why we celebrate this day but Do I really know It’s value? That was answered m...

Can you define Critic? Try it before you read further. You might be thinking about a person who criticizes something is a critic. I used to think until I get in a discussion with a critic which later turned into a debate. He used to criticize everything without even considering that what can be the positive side of an issue. People still listen due to various reason which I don’t want to mention but personally, I think if you’re strongly criticizing something, you should come with resources and more importantly with a better solution to tackle the issue. Believe me, this is not even near the definition of a critic for which people who I am talking about. According to Wikipedia (Read it to the end because every word of it means something, specially underlined) the definition of a critic is A critic is a professional who communicates an assessment and an opinion of various forms of creative works such as art, literature, music, cinema, theatre, fashion, architecture, and...

एक हवा का झौंका आया था ख़ुशबू भी संग लाया था तेज़ हवा सब ले गई अपनी ख़ुशबू मुझको दे गई ।   तेवर अपने अब बदल गए ख़ुशबू जो अपने संग थी हम जो राजा थे यहाँ के और बाकी दुनिया नंग थी ।   खुश थे हम और बाकी सब ख़ुशबू पर जो हक़ था अपना डर था दिल के एक कोने में अपने क्या करेंगे अगर हुआ ये एक सपना ।   सपना ही होगा जो जिया था एक कड़वा घूट भी पिया था नींद चैन सब अब छूट गया सपना भी एक दिन टूट गया ।   ख़ुशबू अब ज़ेहन में घुल गयी पुरानी थी जो यादें, सब धुल गयी अब फ़िर से उम्मीद करना भूल थी क्योंकि अब हवा संग ख़ुशबू नहीं धूल थी ।   धूल आंखों में वो दे गई ख़ुशबू मुझसे वो ले गई थोड़ा सा तो मैं भी रोया था अपनी ख़ुशबू को जो खोया था ।

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
