हमारा सफ़र

हमारा सफ़र तो बहुत लम्बा था

पर सड़क ही खत्म हो गयी

Destiny

Does it look something disgusting?? Something filthy?

This is the inside look of a tandoor - a tandoor that had gone cold after a long night. And those filthy looking things are flour-balls, which were supposed to be delicious breads.

This is what destiny is. An event which would have lead to admiration, beauty, and serving a higher purpose... and suddenly the tandoor goes cold... and what it ends with is just disgust and filth...!!!

so long... so sorry... and a new series :)

Internet has become a luxury since I left the campus. And a good connection with fast net speed is almost an impossibility. My own whims and laziness added more to the absence of activity on this blog for so long. In fact, this gap of two weeks is the longest ever this blog has witnessed.

So as a 'remedial' measure and with all due apologies, I'll be running a long a-picture-a-day series this time. The theme is 'Bachche' (kids) and there will be a new post every day at 2.37 am. Why the theme and why the timing?? because this timing signifies the most loved 'bachcha' of my life :)

किस क़दर जल्द...

यूँ ही मौसम की अदा देख के याद आया है
किस क़दर जल्द बदल जाते हैं इन्साँ जानाँ

Workers of the world unite;
you have nothing to lose but your chains.

Series # 2 - khujli

I have been thinking and working for this one for so long now...

After the first series on Colors, I'll be launching the second one - 'khujli' from tomorrow morning.

I know the theme seems creepy but I found the pictures very 'cute'.

So watch this space for a little 'khujli' every morning 0619 hrs for next eight days :)

Happy Fools' day

although, I think,
all the days are happy for fools
(and for wise ones too).

Convocation tomorrow...

This will leave only a few more days
among those famed red-brick walls
but the memories will last for life

And the achievement of five years
Thesis dissertation is just a tangible one
but there is a long long list
of experiences and moments,
achievements and regrets,
friends and foes...
!!!

Thank you for NOT smoking!


I often got into trouble for asking people not to smoke in public places. When I was about 19 and used to assist my father in his business, I bought a 'No Smoking' sticker and pasted in the shop. However, it was mostly ignored and people smoked on as usual. Finally, the sticker was taken off the wall by my father because I showed it to one of the customers who was about to lit a stick.

Another time, I got up to beat up an old and rude fellow, who began smoking in a restaurant and refused to put it off. However, good for me that his friends forced him to put it off, otherwise... meri pol khul jaati :D

Anyways, smoking is one of the most annoying, useless, and harmful activities. Even Tipu Sultan, the King of Mysore and the inventor of Indian rockets, was against it. As a testimony to his distaste for smoking, he had a sign in his palace in Bangalore. Here is a pic of that.

Home Sweet Home

Everyone needs a home. Just that their definition of home is different.

फूल मुरझा गये हैं!

पिछले बरस
जो आगोश में थे तुम्हारे
वो दूर हो के तुमसे
कुम्हला गये हैं
फूल इस बरस सारे
मुरझा गये है!

Colors 8 - कुछ सुर्खी सी

कल तेरे रंग में ऐसी रंगी दुनिया सारी
खिली है आज कुछ शरमाई सी, कुछ सुर्खी सी
