The Sign of Water

-

There is a lot of water in me.
Water that is flowing fast.
It’s erratic and free.
But highly influential and vast.

Its destination is not known
It is taking a random course
Anything that comes in its way
Is carried away with its force.

Somewhere, I know that it needs to be directed
It needs to find its goal.                                            
For, waters with a destination are the ones ,worshipped
And the others regret their own soul.

Ik begane sheher me  Safar shuru kiya tha humne Na socha tha ki itne Gehre rang ye chhodega apne Faasle na rakhne diye  Is haseen Dilli ne koi  Har boond me apna naam bhar diya isne Inhi boondon ki baarish aaj  Aankhon se ho chali hai  Dilli ki hi mitti aaj bheeg rahi hai  Apna banana iss sheher ko  Kumzor Dil ke bas ki nahi  Hum to bilkul mulayam aaye the  Socho Hume bhi bahadur bana Diya isne  Saath le ja rahe hai dosti ka khazana  Aisi shayad hi fir kabhi takdeer mil paegi  Ke badh chale hum ek ek kadam manzil ki oor  Aur saath dosti ki khushboo jaegi  Na socha tha ke roenge kabhi  Sheher to ye chhodna hi tha hume Magar himmat aage badhne ki bhi issi sheher ne di hai Aaj roenge us himmat se hi  Alvida kehti hun aaj  Inn sadko ko inn galiyon ko  Inn doston ko Iss begane sheher ko  Na chahkar bhi tujhme ghul gayi hun Mai  Dekh ... Shayad ab Mera rang tujhme kahi dikhne lage ...

A Brave Heart!

The sun shone mildly in her balcony lovingly caressing her feet and face as she sat at the open door with her laptop sitting on her long spread legs as she typed her thoughts out. The winters were very cold this year. Public holidays and weekends were the only days when one could soak in the warm daylight in Delhi. The sun had a healing effect on her both physically and emotionally. Delhi had given her a lot and also taken a lot from her. What it couldn’t take and no one ever could take from her was her writing. Writing was therapeutic to her. As her face now basked in its brilliance, the sun brought back memories of the past years making her feel lucky for what she had in life.  Her balcony looked out into a beautiful square shaped garden with flowering plants on all sides and a well-kept bed of grass in the middle. Birds flew past the balcony every now and then chirping about in a very Delhi style chatter. She would often laugh at the various sounds that a simple cuckoo sittin

When The Buddha Smiled on India...

On 12 th October 1973, David Davies- a geophysicist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology who worked on seismic detection of underground nuclear tests- predicted that India would be the sixth country to conduct nuclear weapon tests. After 7 months he was proven correct by the ingenuity of Indian scientists and the fortitude of the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. Canada sold a 40 megawatt Canadian-Indian Reactor, U.S. (CIRUS) to India in 1956. India had the necessary manpower and capacity to develop and test a nuclear weapon. The heavy water needed to control Nuclear Fission had been provided by the US. So what made India abstain from performing the nuclear test and from becoming the first Nuclear Power? It is probably the chaste intention to maintain a mellow camaraderie with the other countries or a mere lack of grit in the Indian leadership. Meanwhile India refused to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation treaty in 1970.  When questioned over it, our ambassador to t
