Writing for a cause - Jan Lokpal Bill

Hi Readers,

Thank you so much for your love and I am obliged to have all of you as regular readers on this blog. This is your blog and you can always drop your suggestions at my email address "hemantarora44@gmail.com" and I promise (Not the Govt brand promise) to reply within 4 days. 

I wish if I could go ahead and sit with Anna for fasting, if my company would have given me few leaves. You got it...we are mango people and it's practically difficult for us to be on ground zero with Anna. This is my attempt to dedicate a post to this social cause and spread awareness about why Govt version of Lokpal Bill is not something which can help us curb the corruption.

A lot has been said and done about the Jan Lokpal bill which has been proposed eight times in the Parliament till now. We have never heard of this bill until Shri Anna Hazare raised his voice in support of a strong Jan Lokpal Bill. 

This is my attempt to make people (at least those who visit this blog) read about Govt version and civil society version of Lokpal Bill for their knowledge. There had been so many chain emails on Internet and we must accept the fact that most of the chain emails are not from the authenticated resources. Here are some extracts from various authenticated resources which can help you to understand why we should have a strong Jan Lokpal Bill.

What is Jan Lokpal:

The basic idea of the Lokpal is borrowed from the office of the ombudsman in other countries. It provides for filing complaints of corruption against the prime minister , other ministers and members of parliament with the ombudsman. Anyone, except for a public servant , can file a complaint and the Lokpal has to complete the inquiry within six months.

Myths about Civil Society Version of Jan Lokpal Bill:

Myth # 1: Draft is prepared by Anna Hazare, Kiran Bedi, and Arvind Kejriwal.

Reality: It is drafted by Justice Santosh Hegde (former Supreme Court Judge and former Lokayukta of Karnataka), Prashant Bhushan (Supreme Court Lawyer) and Arvind Kejriwal (RTI activist)

Myth # 2: Govt may go ahead and appoint corrupt people to run Lokpal!!!

Reality: That won't be possible because its members will be selected by judges, citizens and constitutional authorities and not by politicians, through a completely transparent and participatory process.

Why to support Jan Lokpall Bill and Anna Hazare!!!

1. Cases against corrupt people will not linger on for years anymore: Investigations in any case will have to be completed in one year. Trial should be completed in next one year so that the corrupt politician, officer or judge is sent to jail within two years.

2. The loss that a corrupt person caused to the government will be recovered at the time of conviction.

3. If any work of any citizen is not done in prescribed time in any government office, Lokpal will impose financial penalty on guilty officers, which will be given as compensation to the complainant.

4. It will be the duty of the Lokpal to provide protection to those who are being victimized for raising their voice against corruption.

Difference between Civil Society draft and Govt Draft of Lokpal Bill:

1. Tackling Corruption within Judiciary:

Government's Draft: A committee of three judges from samecourt will give permission for investigation against the accused judge. (How will judges from the same court give permission to investigate their colleague judge?)

Anna Hazare's Jan Lokpal: A seven member bench of Lokpal will givepermission after an open hearing.

2. Tackling Corrupted MPs

Government's Draft: If a MP votes or puts up a question in parliament in return for a bribe, then he/she could be investigated by a committee of other MPs as is the present system.
(In the past 62 years, many instances of MP's taking bribe have surfaced but not even a single instance has been honestly investigated nor any MP sent to jail.)

Anna Hazare's Jan Lokpal: The investigation would be done by an independent Lokpal. 

3. Tackling Corruption by PM

Government's Draft: If the PM is involved in corruption, then CBIwould investigate, not the Lokpal. (CBI directly comes under PM. How will CBIinvestigate its own boss?)

Anna Hazare's Jan Lokpal: Lokpal,which is an independent body,would investigate PM.(If govt.'s doesn't want PM's corruption to beinvestigated, let them amend constitution upfrontrather than making a pretense of investigations by CBI.)

4. Selection of Lokpal:

Government's Draft: a. In a ten-member Selection Committee,six are politicians, of which five will befrom the ruling party. (This kind of system will increase the probabilitythat a corrupt persons and thosefavorable to ruling party are finallyselected.)
b. Selection process will be decided by Selection Committee.

Anna Hazare's Jan Lokpal: a.Selection Committee would comprise of two politicians, four judges and head of two independent constitutional authorities.
b. The Search Committee would comprise of civil society members and retired constitutional authorities.
c. A detailed selection process has been described, which would be transparent and have people's participation

5. Accountability of Lokpal Members

Government's Draft: The members of Lokpal would be accountable to the government. Only government can file a petition in theSupreme Court for their removal.

Anna Hazare's Jan Lokpal: The accountability of the Lokpal members would beto the public. Any citizen can file a petition in the Supreme Court for removal of a corrupt Lokpal member.

6. Whistler-blower's Protection:

Government's Draft: The CVC is responsible of protecting thewhistleblowers. However, the CVC neither has the capacity nor the legal powers required to protect whistleblowers.

Anna Hazare's Jan Lokpal: It should be Lokpal's responsibility to protect the whistleblowers. The Lokpal has been given sufficient powers for the same. 

7. Punishment for Corruption:

Government's Draft: Maximum punishment for corruption is 10 years.

Anna Hazare's Jan Lokpal: The maximum sentence is life imprisonment.Officers senior in rank would attract stiffer punishment.

The concept of Free World

Thanks to Sowmya for motivating me to write a post on this topic Free(With reference to independence day). I had been googling the whole day to prepare a background with no success. And finally I took a decision to write about the concept of a "Free World"........

Everyone seems to be talking about a free Nation, free State and free City etc. I have this imagination (you can also term it as my fantasy) of a "Free World", wherein an Indian can be a neighbor of a Pakistani national in a street of New Delhi. Did you just notice that I made a mistake in the last line!!! There's no Indian, Pakistani or Australian National and people will belong to only one nation called "World".

Imagine a world without war and no Visa or Green Card!!!

Imagine a world with no boundaries, one currency and one government!!!

What if the whole world starts executing "Free Trade". If it would have been so, there would be no poor country. There would not be any comparison because everyone will be using the same currency. One will have access to what one wants. The world will become small and beautiful. 

But the question is: "Are we ready to accept such world"!!!!

The answer is a definite "No" if we look at the current circumstances. The last depression gave birth to World War I and the next question arises: "Will next depression give birth to World War III?". Can we expect such an ideal situation in such circumstances!!!!

I know the concept of a "Free World" is a myth which is possible only in an ideal mature society. And then we have to look at what Gautama Buddha said: "When society(people) matures, there would be no need for the society (restrictions, boundaries and rules)."

Gautam Buddha said this in 555 BCE and after so many centuries, we are still far away from that ideal stage of mature society. The literacy rate is increasing day by day but did we ask a question if we are educated enough to reach that stage!!!!!!

Well, now if you have finished reading....do drop your thoughts on this before you click on 'cross' mark on right hand top corner of your computer screen. 

Note: These are my personal thoughts and do not represent any body or organization by any chance. Enjoy reading and drop your views.

When someone dedicates a pic to your blog...it must be posted with honour....

One of my friends, who likes taking random shots, dedicated this pic for this blog....she says that it matches my Blog's URL...

Thank You Smita...

मन की गति है कौन माप पाया!!!

गरजते हुए बादलो में धूप किसने है देखि!!!!
है किसी ने देखा क्या शोर मचाता सन्नाटा!!!
गर्मी की देहेकती हुई धूप की ठंडक किसको महसूस हुई है आजतक!
दर्द है इस मुस्कान के पीछे, क्या ये है कोई आज तक जान पाया!

है देखा क्या किसी ने सूरज को चाँद से रौशनी लेते हुए,
और जब चूहा दहारा..और शेर गिढ़गिराया!!
किसी ने शायद ही देखा होगा, की ट्रेन उर रही है हवा में!
और शोप्पेर्स स्टॉप की टपरी से पान हमने खाया!!!

देखा क्या किसी ने मछलियों को उड़ते हुए हवा में!!
और हाथी ने समंदर में अपना घर  बसाया!
क्या कभी सोचा है कि ऑफिस जाना पड़े सिर्फ छुटियों में!
और बाकि दिनों में घर पर, घूब रंग हो जमाना!!!!

जब अध्यापक कक्षा में दे रहे थे एक्साम!!!
तब स्टुडेंट्स ने डंडा घुमा के चक्कर लगाया!
घडी रुक सी गई थी अपनी जगह पर!!
और जानवरों ने अपना अलग से शहर बसाया!!!

ये मन की हैं बातें, ये मन कि है कोशिश!!
पहुचता वहां जहाँ कोई न पहुच पाया!!
ये मन ही ना जाने, ये है कोई मरीचिका!!
असंभव को संभव से परिचय कराया!! 

English version (Please do not read if you understand Hindi)

Who has seen sun in the dark foam clouds!!
Has anyone seen silence making the loudest noise ever!!
Who felt the coolness of the sun's heat!!!
No one has been able to spot the sorrows behind this smile!!

Has anyone seen sun borrowing light from moon!!
And the mouse was spotted roaring in front of lion!!
No one has seen train flying in the air!!
And we tasted the tastiest paan* on Shoppers Stop joint!!

Has any one seen fishes flying in the air!!
And elephant started staying under the water!!
Have you ever thought that u visit office only on holidays!!
And spend all other days at home enjoying yourself!!

When all the teachers were appearing for the exam!!
Students acted as proctor to prevent the teachers from cheating!!
The watch stayed where it was!!
and all the animals declared their own city!!

These are the things of the mind, the mind to try that!
It reaches where no one could ever reach!!
It itself does not know, as if it is mirage!!!
It has introduced the impossible with possible!!!

Also wanted to convey my "Thank You" to Sowmya for motivating me to translate this post in English so that everyone can get the feel....

ये रिश्ता बड़ा अजीब लगता है!!!

ये रिश्ता बड़ा अजीब लगता है,
क्यों प्यार का बंधन अब करीब लगता है, 

क्यों लगता है जब हम दोस्त थे,
वो दिन थे कितने अच्छे,
वो खट्टी मीठी बातें,
और वो ख्याल थे कितने सच्चे,
क्यों टूट सी गई है डोर,
और धागे हुए कच्चे,
फिर भी जब तुम होते हो पास,
वो एहसास बड़ा ही अज़ीज़ लगता है,

ये रिश्ता बड़ा अजीब लगता है,
क्यों प्यार का बंधन अब करीब लगता है,

I kept walking....

  The sun was departing from the sky,

I saw birds flying back to their homes;

I kept walking…. I kept walking….

People were leaving their offices,
with a hope to see their family soon,

I spotted on the west the full dull moon,

Clouds were turning into dark blue,

I felt the wind turning a bit chilly and cool.

I kept walking…. I kept walking….

Now the sun got completely, buried into the sky,

And I saw the dark foam like clouds at high;

The artificial lights filled the city in a row,

People were waiting outside the theater for the evening show;

I kept walking…. I kept walking….

Everyone was tooting horns on the traffic signal,

An auto just passed by me, playing Jagjit Singh 'Gajal';

Every corner of the road was filled with machines and people,

The wind grew stronger and moved my Jacket's Lapel;

I kept walking…. I kept walking….

The road to home was really full of excitements,

There were too many things happening around me,

but I was so silent;

The home was still two and half kilometer away 

when I took the right turn,

I assured myself not to worry as life is full of twists and turns.

I kept walking....I kept walking....

This poem was written in November 2009. I thought of giving this poem a new life, as this piece left ignored for a long time....

Thanks for reading me... and as usual.....your thoughts/critics/feedback are my paycheques :)

The idea of a perfect date......

Everyone has his/her own idea of perfect date. I never gave this a thought, until I went through this POST. And then I realized that I too can have some super romantic ideas of a perfect date. After commenting on the post I thought to give it a form of post on my blog as well. 

Here I go with my idea of perfect date....one of them requires you to step outside and another one shoes u a picture of few of homedates ;) 

--Sitting and watching her endlessly....

--Singing her a song......
--Cooking her favourite dish without letting her enter kitchen......
--Watching her while she is watching television....
--Looking into her eyes and trying to measure how deep   they are....
--Watching her sleeping....omg...she looks so awesome..
--Spending the night on the roof..under the natural dim-light of moon....stars above the head..
--Spending whole day at home and being available to each other mentally, physically and emotionally.....
--A candle light dinner at home....possibly at the rooftop...

--Sitting on the riverbank with my head on her lap......

--Watching the City Paris from Effile Tower.....
--Boating together with a view of sunset in the background.....
--Watching the sunrise together on a beach.....
--Do the titanic ACT on a cruise....
--Spending the night at a campfire with only the two of us around.....

So so so....if you have dropped by here and ended up reading the complete post...do mention your idea of perfect date......it will make this post far richer than what it is :)
 

Thanks for reading me....your comments are my paycheques....

The feeling of getting awarded...

Hey Pallies,

I am dedicating this post to one of the fellow bloggers who awarded my blog on her blog. Though I always prefer rewards, this award made me jump on my bed when I saw it.

Whenever I received an award in my office, It hardly mattered for me because awards are also planned these days. They award you tell them that you are going to resign in few days. You can try this technique. The award are effectively used to reduce the attrition rate. If you are not satisfied with your rating and planning to escalate the issue. I can bet the you are the best employee of the same month.

I always used to ask my boss to arrange a reward ceremony. Those Rs.500/- sodexo coupans look better than a trophee which does not make sense when everything is planned. Trophee is illusion, money is real.

Well, my award is listed under THIS link.

Thank you Beeni for awarding this blog.

Every award comes with some promice, so I promise that soon I will be back with below things posted on my blog:

1. 7 Random things about myself.

2. Answer of following questions:

a) Name my favorite song 
b) Name my favorite dessert
c) What is pissing me off
d) My favorite pet
e) My best feature is
f) Everyday attitude
g) What is perfection
h) Guilty pleasure

3. Award 15 blogs.

With loads of love,

In the attempt to find my love, I found myself...

Yes, I have just realized that there are so many things in this world which hold more significance in my life than love. I think my mom needs more attention than you and I must help my brother in accomplishing his dreams. May be, it would be more substantial to follow what my boss says, than attending your call every night. At least he is real and not an illusion like you. I also think that it would be more appropriate to spend time with my parents in post dinner discussion and help them deciding how the future would look like for the family.

May be, it was just attraction or a friendship caught on fire....but I am sure it was not love. After today, I may think that it was an earmark that you left and I also won't regret that I did let you walk away. Those tiny details may not catch my attention going forward. My world would still move, if I don't tell someone what I had in my dinner or which clothes I wore on a specific day. Telling my mom how my day was in the office would make her happier and may bring a smile on her face than discussing those flyspecks with you. Seeing that smile should be the most important task in my life, rather than bringing you tonnes of gift to see you happy.

We might not have meant for being together, and I think I would not be able to keep this 'friendship' alive anymore. We can never be friends, because may be I loved you more than anything in this world before today. Till yesterday, our paths varied but our goals were same. Today onwards our goals also vary and I know I will achieve mine without you.

Till yesterday, I was striving hard to find you but I think in the attempt to find my love, I found myself. I must thank you for making my life easier. I must also thank you for making me reach the stage of self-realization.

May be I would like to continue my life journey without you and may be i still know that I truly love you...

Stay far....Stay away.

Please don't call, I have changed my number.

You would not be able to see me online on gtalk, I have blocked your ID.

Don't try tracking me on facebook, my technical friends have helped me blocking you permanently from facebook, may be they could have helped me in doing the same with my heart.

No Regards...you don't deserve any.

Nitin

This is a letter drafted by me for one of my friends. I tried my best to translate his feelings into words. May he recover soon. 

Thanks for reading me....your comments are my paycheques.

When people reach the hights of cheapness....

This post is about the behavior of a special personality, I came across while my stay in Noida. You can learn how to use the facility of "Complementary breakfast" from this special personality....enjoy reading.....

Recently, I had a chance to stay in a hotel called Hotel Orange Pie" in Noida. I could term it as one of the best two star hotels in Noida city. That morning I observed this incident while having breakfast.

The hotel serves complimentary breakfast, and I saw one person sitting in hotel restaurant across the same table where I was having breakfast. The person was having Aloo Paratha, he applied 3 tea spoon butter on it. On the right side of the table I saw a full glass orange juice, a bowl of Fruit Jelly, and a bowl full of corn flex. On the left side of the plate, he kept a large cup of milk which was half filled (he had already consumed half of it while eating his first paratha). There were also 3 breads kept in a small plate with a minimum of 30 Gm butter on each slide.

While having Paratha, he complained about how bad the service is. He also complained about him being late because of such a slow service by hotel. He used the ideal time (when he was waiting for another paratha) in applying tonnes of butter on the bread toast and having it along with a little amount of jam. Now you must be knowing what the meaning of this 'a little' is for this special personality. Have you ever seen someone having fruit juice along with hot milk..I was also as astonished as you are after seeing this guy. On the top of that, that bread toast was also dipped into hot milk before tasting the tongue of this person. 

After finishing his first glass of Orange Juice, he ordered another one. Here we go with the conversation:

Foody: Waiter!!!!!!

Waiter: Yes Sir!!!! How can I help you!!!!!

Foody: Can you please get me a full glass of orange juice?

Waiter: Sir....I just wanted to inform that complimentary breakfast consists only one glass of juice. Shall I bring another one!!!!

I was waiting for this moment and here he found himself in this embarrassing moment.

Foody:  Wait for some time....let me finish my breakfast first. 

I saw him thinking something for few minutes....as if he is going to take  one of the most important decisions of his life. And the D moment came:

Foody (to waiter): Can you call the manager? 

Manager: Yes sir!! How was the breakfast!

Foody: I am going to shift to another hotel today. You guys can't an extra glass of juice and expecting a customer to pay Rs.3000/- for a day?

Manager tried his best to be as polite as possible, and handled the issue very diplomatically. He might have given this answer after understanding the mental condition of the guy he was dealing with.

Manager: Well, I would like to inform you that we serve only one glass of juice as a part of complementary breakfast and it's not the waiter's mistake. They have been instructed to inform the same to guests; however I will arrange an extra glass of juice for you without charging you any penny. Is that okay with you!!

Foody: Yes.....thank you. You guys are superb (he had this killing smile as if he has won a battle of his life)

Note: I was watching this entire episode while sitting across the table and sipping a cup of milk as slow as possible in order to watch the climax.

I always say this line: "The laughing recipe is available in plenty around you....you just need to observe and experience the same in your day-2-day life"

Thank you for reading me.....your comments are my paycheques :)

Review - Bade Achhe Lagte Hain - A daily soap on Sony TV

This one was quite unexpected...but my cousin (Mr. Sunjeev Arora) always provokes me to experiment. So I thought of writing a review on this family serial on Sony TV. I am not a fan of Sony or any other channel. I just watch TV as I don't have a choice. My mom follows all the Soaps on different channels and she can never affford to miss two serials, one  being "Bade Achhe Lagte hain"......

Unlike other daily soaps, this does not show the typical saas-bahu-dever-deverani conflict of upper class families. 'Bade Achhe Lagte hain' is a story of Ram Kapoor and Priya(Sakshi Tanwar). Both of them are in their middle age and have been busy with their professional life so much, that they have left their age behind. Both of them were happy with their individual life until they came to know that that their siblings are in love with each other. Situations lead to Ram and Priya getting hooked with each other by their families and the story takes an interesting turn. 

Though, some of the reviewers have claimed it to be a predictable serial, I still feel that the serial has got 'THE' factor in it. You would love the chemistry showed between this couple. Watch 'Bade Achhe Lagte Hain' for a different taste, enjoy the conversation and chemistry between this middle aged couple. Does not seem to be a typical BALAji serial.

Regardless of critics, its always audience who decides the fate of a film or serial. You may want to have a look at comments by different "Aam Janta" about this serial and you will get to know more:

Rating: 4/5

PS: One more reason behind my entire family watches this serial is that Ram Kapoor just looks like my Elder cousin. My cousin is also as sensitive, gol matol as Ram Kapoor with the same walking style :)

Ma'am!!!! you got the wrong hand here.....

It was a perfect Sunday dated July 3, 2011. It's been over a month I did not get chance to spend a Sunday at home. My mom wanted me to stay @ home for the whole day and my Brother wanted me to go for a movie with him. I decided to surrender and preferred staying @ home for the whole day. 

At the same time I also booked two tickets for Transformer 3 from bookmyshow.com. Every-time I use these things, I think our genre to be fortunate enough to have access to such an advance technology. The day went by with 100miles/hour speed without realization. I went to market with mom to buy vegetables. Also paid a visit to D-Mart in Kalyani Nagar to purchase Grocery items for home. Forgot to mention....that I had also been given a responsibility to clean one of our rooms and I finished cleaning before 12:00 PM.

The best thing is when we went to Fun & Shop Multiplex, Fatima Nagar in night. The showtime was 10:15 PM and we decided to kill our time by enjoying the greenery  inside the Multiplex. Now THE moment came...when a couple was walking right in front of me with hands in hands. I was walking alone as my brother had not yet reached the multiplex. Suddenly my devil mind started imagining some pictures. I saw girl's boyfriend letting his hands off and walking towards something (May be he wanted to attend one call..i don't remember). I overtook the girl and was dancing in my own music. A girl came from behind and started walking holding my hands in her hands. We might have walked couple of steps and than I said, "Ma'am!!!! you got the wrong hand here....." I purposely walked a few steps to reach a group of people and than uttered these words. 

Everyone around started laughing and this girl kept apologizing, which added some more flavor to her existing embarrassment. I looked around with a killing smile and headed my way towards Theater # 3. Transporter # 3 :)

I am Sixty and she is Fifty........

It all happened so soon that,
none of us could ever realize,
She happened to be my friend first,
feeling of her being around made me mesmerize;
We were meeting for the first time,
heading towards the south part of the city,
I gave her a heart shaped balloon,
she gave me a smile - a bit gritty;

What could I say about weather,
the sky was a little misty…
Are you shocked when I say,
I am sixty and she is fifty;
Though we are physically old,
our heart still remained young,
Believe me I still retain my killing look,
And she looks like an atom bomb;

The date with my lady was awesome,
we kept holding each others hands,
the breeze was touching our faces,
we were sitting on the sea sands;

Her eyesight is not that good,

so what if I am a little fat,
we kept eating Bhelpuri one by one,
As, we had only one teeth-set...

Life and Shift+Delete Key!!!!!

He wish if there was a shift button on the keyboard of his life,

He would have pressed it along with delete key to get rid of his strife;

he has been trying to find out this shift key since one week,

so that he can feel refreshing after emptying the recycle bin.

Don't think that he'll carry this broken heart all along his life,

By god grace he has got great friends who are a call away to make him feel light;

Things had neither been wrong, nor they been right,

He was still trying to find out the reason of that tide.

Then he realized everything doesn't happen for a reason,

Every time he knew that he should not expect a perfect fusion;

Time is a strong healer, and does not hold things for long,

He found himself sailing in the middle of the sea, feeling strong.

Though it was middle of the sea, he has got his friends along,

Nothing is going to matter now, Tide or Maelstrom;

He found his calm and peace in the waves of the sea,

Suddenly a question raised in the mind, who was she!!!!

Note for all non techies: The data get deleted permanently from the computer when you press Shift+Delete key on your computer. The attempt was made to correlate the same with Life.

Baithe baithe yu hi dhup me pata na chala kab shaam ho gai,

Subeh se shaam tak, ye chidiyo ki chehchahahat aam ho gai,

Galti thi meri main kubool karta hu,

Tere aane ka intzar ab bhi jaroor karta hu,

Kya karu, tujhe pane ki naakaam koshish karta hu;

Ummeedo ki binah par ye jeevan chalta rahega,

Har shaam chadta hua suraj yu hi dhalta rahega,

Fool khilne ke baad murjhane ki jab ghadi aayegi,

kasam se tumhari yaad badi aayegi,

Khushfehmiyon ki basti me ab roj marta hu,

apne nakaratmak vicharo se har din ladta hu,

Har baar main yahi galti karta hu,

Kya karu, tujhe pane ki naakaam koshish karta hu...

Tumse Shuru hota hai har sawal...

Tumse shuru hota hai har sawal, aur har jawab tumpe khatam hota hai……..

Tumse shuru hota hai har sapna, aur har khayal tumpe khatam hota hai…..

Jeene ke mayne badal gaye, jab tum aaye jindgi me…….

Tumse shuru hoti hai har chaah, aur har rasta tumpe khatam hota hai……

Tumse shuru hota hai har sawal aur har jawab tumpe khatam hota hai…

Ummede to dafn kar di thi humne, ki koi aayega ab jindgi me……………

Darwaje bhi sare band the, ik aahat hui aur dekha, ki koi khidki se dastak deta hai….

Tumse shuru hota hai har sawal aur har jawab tumpe khatam hota hai……

Jab mud ke dekhta hu bhoot ko, to kuchh dhundhle se chehre nazar aate hain…….

Lekin vartmaan aur bhavishya ke aine me tumhara hi deedar hota hai…

Tumse shuru hota hai har sawal aur har jawab tumpe khatam hota hai……

She………and the moment

She was wearing a magenta Punjabi suit, her face was glowing like a 500 watts light,

I suddenly thought to dedicate few notes to the girl of my life;

She was looking stunning, gorgeous, with a clean layer of kazal in her eyes,

I was not able to look anywhere else but her face, she was looking charming and bright;

Than we crossed the road with her hands in my hands,

For a moment it seemed as if I was flying in the sky, my feet leaving the land;

I term those two hours as the fastest two hours, and those 3 days, as the logest 3 days of my life,

I had nothing in my mind, but focus on you and try my best for everything goes right;

My efforts were to make that moment as special for you as I can,

I was missing stars, romantic songs, music and if we could have a chance to dance in the rain;

Anyways, that parking was meaningful and became the witness of the most important episode,

You didn’t say no, neither had you said yes; we simply walked towards the road;

My eyes were about to go moist, but I stopped myself being weak,

I recalled my mother’s words that I am a fighter, I immediately asked you for a meet;

The answer was yes, I felt a little happy, and you said bye,

That was the most important hug of my life, it was warm, special, and almost made me cry;

Finally you accepted my love, with so many doubts and questions in your mind,

We definitely felt a little relaxed, and finally we were sure it will be a great bind………

Dedicated to the girl of my life......

My feelings were as usual when I saw you first time,

I never thought in my wildest dream of you being mine;

You were stepping out of your room, with water drops falling from your tresses,

It was the smell of yours trying to give me a message;

I couldn’t think much but went to my room,

Your image still around my mind with a sound boom boom……

Then we started talking and exchanging few thoughts,

We became good friends, touchwood I started admiring you a lot;

You are so simple, lovely, adorable and truthful,

I almost became a fan of yours without realizing where I was heading to;

We talked, we laughed, and we giggled together,

Sometimes distance does not create a barrier but works like a cap with a feather;

It’s always a nice feeling talking to you,

Suddenly I started realizing that I can be myself when I am with you;

I wish if we get chance to meet more often,

May god kill all your fears and give you more strength;

I still feel that we can be great friends without any strife,

Would you mind being with me for the rest of your life?

You have my whole life to think and take your decision;

My feelings for you won’t change, even if you give me millions of reasons…..

These notes are dedicated to the girl of my life….

We know very well that we both can make wonderful soul mates……without any strife…

When Unfortunate turns into fortunane....

Kabhi kabhi badkismati bhi 

kismati me badal jati hai

Jis cheej ko aapne sapne me bhi na paya ho

vo tohfe me mil jati hai

Suraj jata to hai pashim me 

doobne ke liye

lekin 11 ghante me aasha ki 

nai kiran najar aati hai

Jis cheej ko aapne sapne me bhi na paya ho

vo tohfe me mil jati hai

Vo bhi kya din the jab roti aur pyaj khakar 

gujara kiya karte the

Khuda aisa vaqt bhi lekar aaya 

jab ghee ke bina roti gale se na utar pati hai

Jis cheej ko aapne sapne me bhi na paya ho

vo tohfe me mil jati hai

Log kehe hain raat ka andhera 

nakaratmakta ki nishani hai,

Is nakaratmakta se prerit hokar 

Edison ban gaya prakash ki kahani hai

Kabhi kabhi badkismati bhi 

kismati me badal jati hai

Jis cheej ko aapne sapne me bhi na paya ho

vo tohfe me mil jati hai!!!
