Mera Thumara... (Song from "Socha Na Tha")
mera thumara kya rishta hai... kuch bhi nahi
agar kabhi tum guzarta dekho kya tum mujhe bulaogi... shayad nahi
agar jo fir hum kabhi na mile to kya tum yaad aaogi... nahi
kyo ki tum meri koi nahi main janta hu magar
ho jab meri koi nahi kyo lagti ho mujhko parayi nahi
jab bhi mile hum aisa laga fir, milege nahi
fir bhi na jane kisi bhahane milte gaye hum tum magar kahi na kahi
jab aaj koi nahi hai bhahana fir kyo thar jaye kadam yahi
ho tum kyo ki tum meri koi nahi main janta hu magar
ho jab meri koi nahi kyo lagti ho mujhko parayi nahi
ek ajnabee se itni na ki thi baatain kabhi
jo chaha dil ne kahta gaya main tumse koi bhi duri mujhe lagi na kabhi
pass thumare aaya tha kitne ye ahsas ho raha hai mujhe abhi
per tum meri koi nahi shayad mujhe hai yakeen
jab meri koi nahi kyo lagti ho mujhko parayi nahi
agar kabhi tum guzarta dekho kya tum mujhe bulaogi... shayad nahi
agar jo fir hum kabhi na mile to kya tum yaad aaogi... nahi
kyo ki tum meri koi nahi main janta hu magar
ho jab meri koi nahi kyo lagti ho mujhko parayi nahi
jab bhi mile hum aisa laga fir, milege nahi
fir bhi na jane kisi bhahane milte gaye hum tum magar kahi na kahi
jab aaj koi nahi hai bhahana fir kyo thar jaye kadam yahi
ho tum kyo ki tum meri koi nahi main janta hu magar
ho jab meri koi nahi kyo lagti ho mujhko parayi nahi
ek ajnabee se itni na ki thi baatain kabhi
jo chaha dil ne kahta gaya main tumse koi bhi duri mujhe lagi na kabhi
pass thumare aaya tha kitne ye ahsas ho raha hai mujhe abhi
per tum meri koi nahi shayad mujhe hai yakeen
jab meri koi nahi kyo lagti ho mujhko parayi nahi

National awards.....??!?!?
National Awards: The ‘Secular’ Connection

This article brings out some harsh facts on the prestigious Bharat Ratan awards. How the rulling party makes a difference and how our leaders define how we look at the past... and who are the heroes?

This article brings out some harsh facts on the prestigious Bharat Ratan awards. How the rulling party makes a difference and how our leaders define how we look at the past... and who are the heroes?
and so the story goes....Bharat Ratna is the highest civilian award for national service. The order was established by Dr Rajendra Prasad, President of India, on January 2, 1954. Today, there are 41 Bharat Ratna winners in India, the last being Bhimsen Joshi. And yet, there are noticeable absentees. Mahatma Gandhi, the most conspicuous but since he was already elevated to the ‘father of the nation’, his posthumous soul automatically opted out of the race.
But there was no Sardar Patel either, the iron man of India until 1991, despite the fact that the provision to award the Bharat Ratna posthumously was enacted way back in 1955. This provision was probably made to confer the award on Sardar Patel. But Nehru’s profound ideological and personal differences with Patel came in the way.

When Love Ceases
by Kojo Asiedu
by Kojo Asiedu
As long as I live,
I pray never to beg for the love
Of those who proclaim to love me
And never to let those whom I love
Suffer to earn my love
For, as it is a privilege,
I know love ceases
When it has become an obligation

Thought
We have such different ways of interacting with people and sometimes even when we have best of intentions we mess up. Care too much, care too little, try too much, not try at all. How to fix it?
If only we knew ...

What makes Hinduism?
Today I was reading an article from a Muslim clergy stating that yoga was not 'haram'. It was a really good article. However, there is one line just one line that got me thinking about so many different things -
In this world today, when every is fighting for or against a religion I am scared the we have been type casted into one too. And for votes or power or money our leaders have accepted it too.
Hinduism is a way of life which allows you many paths (paths refer to technical definition of religion) to achieve your purpose in life. Being a Hindu - does equate to idle worship, nor to worship of many God's, not even to worship of one God.
You can be a Hindu and believe in One God.
You can be a Hindu and believe in Many God.
You can be a Hindu and believe in No God.
You can be a Hindu and believe in idle worship.
You can be a Hindu and believe in no idle worship.
Hinduism is a lot more that just a religion. It is respect for human life. It stands for equality of race, sex, religion, caste, status. It is far more complex then any one person can understand... And as it is with things that people do not understand instead of accepting that it is far beyond my understanding, we say well it this (however tiny, insignificant or even misinterpreted).
I always remember the story of the 5 blind people trying to feel the elephant to decide what it was. None on its own were correct but all put together was still a partial picture.
Instead of pretending to know it all let us make an effort to actually know atleast the partial picture.
Yoga, according to Ashraf F. Nizami's book "Namaz, the Yoga of Islam" (published by D.B. Taraporevala, Mumbai 1977), is not a religion.No I am not thinking about Islam and its teachings. I am thinking about 'Hinduism'. Somewhere along the line we have forgotten the fact that Hinduism is not a religion(link defining religion). What is even more worrying is we as Hindus do not realize this fact.

Eyes reveal so much
Eyes reveal health secrets of the brain via New Scientist
the opening line is too good... and so is the rest of the article
THE eyes may be the windows to the soul, but they also make pretty good peepholes into the brain.

The technique works very much like ultrasound, but bounces light off the tissue instead of sound waves. One beam of light is fired at the tissue and another at a reference mirror. When the reflected beams have travelled an identical distance, interference will make their combined beam brighter than if the distances are different. So by reflecting one beam off of different layers of tissue, and moving the reference mirror until the combined reflected beam is brightest, the technique can measure the depths of each section of tissue and build up a detailed image of its structure. It has proved particularly useful in ophthalmology because the semi-transparent nature of retinal tissue makes it possible for OCT to penetrate to greater depths - up to several millimetres. When applied to the OND it can give information about both the shape and thickness of retinal nerve fibres, allowing even subtle changes to be tracked.

कोशिश
कुछ यादें भुलाने की
फिर से जी भर मुस्कुराने की
नए सपने सजाने की
koshish
kuch yadien bhulane ki
phir se ji bhar muskurane ki
naye sapne sajane ki
फिर से जी भर मुस्कुराने की
नए सपने सजाने की
koshish
kuch yadien bhulane ki
phir se ji bhar muskurane ki
naye sapne sajane ki

it isn't going to be so...
some days you wish to give up,
some days you wish not to be strong,
some days you wish others to take initiative to set things right,
some days you wish people understand not judge,
some days you wish friends to trust not ask,
some days you just wish
but then it isn't going to be so...
