आँख में काजल भरे दिन

धुंध और बादल भरे दिन 
आँख में काजल भरे दिन 
आ रहे हैं देख साथी
शीत से पागल, भरे दिन

Happy Birthday Majaaz

रास्ते में रुक के दम लूँ, ये मेरी आदत नहीं 
लौट कर वापस चला जाऊँ, मेरी फ़ितरत नहीं 
और कोई हमनवा मिल जाये, ये क़िस्मत नहीं 
ऐ ग़म-ए-दिल क्या करूँ, ऐ वहशत-ए-दिल क्या करूँ 
असरारुल हक़ "मजाज़" लखनवी
Also, Happy Birthday to me!

Happy Birthday Loknaayak

Happy Birthday Loknaayak Jay Prakash Narayan!
I have nothing to offer you but these Orchid flowers,
also known as Crown of Thorns 
(Euphorbia milii splendens)
After all, this is what we offer
to the great souls and patriots of our country.


Also, Happy Birthday Amitabh Bachchan!

This is not just a chocolate bag!



This is a bag full of love from my students on Teachers' Day 2014.
This is what makes my life worthwhile - not measured in money 
but in minds, moments, and memories.
