Ek bagal mein chand hoga

एक बगल में चाँद होगा , एक बगल में रोटियां
एक बगल में नींद होगी , एक बगल में लोरियां
हम चाँद पे , रोटी की चादर , डाल कर सो जायेंगे
और नींद से कह देंगे लोरी कल सुनाने आयेंगे
एक बगल में खनखनाती सीपियाँ हो जायंगी
एक बगल में कुछ रुलाती सिसिकियाँ हो जाएँगी
हम सीपियों में भर के सारे तारे छु के आयेंगे
और सिसकियों को गुदगुदी कर कर के यूँ बहलाएँगे
अम्मा तेरी सिसकियों पे कोई रोने आएगा
कोई रोने आएगा
ग़म ना कर जो आयेगा वोह फिर कभी ना जायेगा
वोह फिर कभी ना जायेगा

याद रख पर कोई अनहोनी नहीं तू लाएगी
लाएगी तो फिर कहानी और कुछ हो जाएगी
होनी और अनहोनी की परवाह किसी है मेरी जान
हद से ज्यादा ये ही होगा हम यहीं मर जायेंगे
हम मौत को सपना बता कर , उठ खड़े होंगे यहीं
और होनी को ठेंगा दिखा कर खिल खिलाते जायेंगे

Send Me An Angel



The wise man said just walk this way
To the dawn of the light
The wind will blow into your face
As the years pass you by
Hear this voice from deep inside
It's the call of your heart
Close your eyes and your will find
The passage out of the dark

Here I am
Will you send me an angel
Here I am
In the land of the morning star

The wise man said just find your place
In the eye of the storm
Seek the roses along the way
Just beware of the thorns

Here I am
Will you send me an angel
Here I am
In the land of the morning star

The wise man said just raise your hand
And reach out for the spell
Find the door to the promised land
Just believe in yourself
Hear this voice from deep inside
It's the call of your heart
Close your eyes and your will find
The way out of the dark

Here I am
Will you send me an angel
Here I am
In the land of the morning star
Here I am
Will you send me an angel
Here I am
In the land of the morning star

Wake me up : AVICCI

"Wake Me Up"

Feeling my way through the darkness
Guided by a beating heart
I can't tell where the journey will end
But I know where to start

They tell me I'm too young to understand
They say I'm caught up in a dream
Well life will pass me by if I don't open up my eyes
Well that's fine by me


So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost

I tried carrying the weight of the world
But I only have two hands
Hope I get the chance to travel the world
But I don't have any plans

Wish that I could stay forever this young
Not afraid to close my eyes
Life's a game made for everyone
And love is the prize


So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost

Didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know (didn't know, didn't know)

The question of justice

Justice for some seems to be a very simple term which may imply giving the person what he rightly deserves.
 A person who decides this must have to be well versed in all the aspects involving society. Because a person with no understanding of philosophy,political science,law and sociology would end up giving biased opinions which may be a cause of injustice to the apellant authority. The whole process of justice should be minutely observed and inferences need to be made after thorough scrutiny of cases related. Else it would be the same thing like giving verdicts in the court just for the cause of satisficing oneself that justice is delivered.
                                                One very important thing that comes to my mind is that justice is one thing that the society relies on and if this mechanism is corrupted somewhere the belief system of people in their government would go for a toss. It would lead to severe repercussions in which people will be frustrated with the system and start taking law in their hands.

law of the land

The constitution of India which was enacted and adopted on 26th November 1949 was a historic moment for the independent state of india. Though it was enforced on 26th January 1950 for reasons as the Poorna Swaraj was celebrated in 1930 by Indian National Congress on this very day .The whole constitution of India in itself intrigues me a lot and makes me go deeper into it to think what was going in the minds of framers of the constitution while framing the constitution of India. The state of mind and the thinking process of the framers will be hard to decipher considering the voluminous task they had at their hands after the attainment of independence to prepare a constitution for a nation with huge diversity in terms of language,caste, race,religion.Considering the task(framing of the constitution) it required huge skills in law making and deliberations over various aspects involved in law making that would suit the Indian conditions.(Constituent Assembly being mostly comprised of  lawyers and politicians)
                            One very important aspect of the constitution making process was referring to other constitutions of the world. This reference served very important function in making laws from laws that already existed and tested by nations and working successfully. People don't think once before saying things like the whole constitution of India is a work of copy paste which is like mocking at the hard work of the framers who went through huge information and compiled one for the nation according to it's needs. Nothing can be perfect and everything has a critic is valid in the case of constitution of  india. Once a person starts to study the basic and fundamental principles of Indian constitution one comes to the realisation that it truly is a hard work of some great men who were filled with the zeal and enthusiasm for putting up some laws that will continue to bind this nation together and it continues to do so which in itself is a proof  of  it being debated,discussed,deliberated and just not being copy pasted. Each and every aspect was looked into the context of the independent nation and then put to vote in a constituent assembly that had indirectly elected people representing various communities and parts of the nation.
                           The Preamble of the constitution which was prepared after the constitution contains the basic philosophy of the entire constitution. It clearly mentions about the source of power, nature of state, principles to be followed.
                           The Fundamental Rights in Part III and varying through the articles 12 to 35 form the basic structure of constitution and any law being found in violation of fundamental rights that are against the basic structure of constitution cannot be amended by the Constitutional Amendment Act. This is mentioned in the Article 13 of the constitution which clearly states that any law in violation of or in derogation of the fundamental rights will be considered void. Under the definition of this law the constitutional amendment law is excluded hence it derives that a fundamental Right can be amended but that is not true because any law violating the basic structure of constitution cannot be amended hence fundamental rights form the basic structure of constitution.
                          Similarly the best part of the constitution which looks after the principles of social,economic,political democracy  are the Directive Principles of State policy mentioned in the Part IV covering articles 36-51 of the constitution. These are the ideals the state should keep in mind while implementing and deciding policies.They vary from the basic socialistic principles like education for all to economic principles for reducing the gap between the rich and poor.
                          The Fundamental Duties which were not present in the constitution when it was framed were added to the constitution by the 42nd Constitutional Amendment Act.
                          

The Sepoy Mutiny

Hailing from the town of Lucknow in Uttar Pradesh makes me a bit nostalgic about this place when it comes to reading about it's historical importance during the first struggle for Indian Independence which has been called by some as Sepoy mutiny. When I was a child my parents took me to this place Residency. The first impression which you get while watching this place will be like why you are even visiting this place(may vary according to different perception). This place is like ruins of some ancient architecture. During that time not being an inquisitive one i only got to know things like this was a place where Britishers used to hang the traitors or rebels. Also that the place has some underground pathway connecting to the capital city of delhi.
Things which as a child would create a sense of fear in your mind and a unique mystery about that place which children generally like.
                                          But now when I go through what happened at this place makes me feel like how much ignorant kids can be. Actually this place was built in 1800 A.D by the then Nawab of Oudh , Nawab Saadat Ali Khan as a residence for the British Resident General.
                                         The incident which is responsible for it's cannon hit walls was the First War of Indian Independence or the Sepoy Mutiny which actually started due to some incident of greased cartridges being one of the urgent causes. As Oudh was annexed under the Doctrine Of Lapse it's Nawab Wajid Ali Shah was sent to exile to calcutta. After this Nawab's first wife Begum Hazrat Mehal took charge of the affairs of the state and made her son Birjis Qadra as the Nawab Of Lucknow. But he was soon forced to abandon it.  Henry Lawrence, the British Resident took refuge alonwith some europens and loyal sepoys in the residency.

Elementary Education in India

The biggest challenge facing this vast country with people belonging to diverse background in terms of culture, language,religion,caste is to educate it's people to make this nation a knowledge based economy.

Education comes under the state list subject but it was a historic moment when through the Constitutional Amendment Bill(86th Constitutional Amendment Bill),2002 Right to Education was added to our constitution under Article 21-A. (First ever Fundamental Right being added to the constitution after Independence)

Supreme Court had already in some verdicts clearly mentioned that  Right To Education was implicit in  Right To Life under article 21. Right to Life i.e to live a life with dignity will only be possible with a Right to Education. Also the articles 41,45,46 in Part IV of the constitution under directive principles of state policy clearly have given directions that it should be the responsibility of the state to provide employment health and education facilities for the welfare of the people in addition to providing education to the weaker sections of the society without any discrimination.

Keeping all these things in mind a legal enforceability was given to Right to Education as Right Of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act ,2009. This act was passed by the Central Government to make education free and compulsory for all children between the age group of 6-14 years.

The falling rupee

1: Lending rates not cut to bring stability to the already existing volatile market.
2: Liquidity cannot be increased now for similar reasons.(Increase in liquidity required rates to be cut)
3: Since liquidity is not increased it will certainly lead to negative growth hence leading to inflation.
4: Hence inflation needs to be checked.
5: Measures to stop imports and increase exports should be taken.
6: For growth rates should have been cut to increase investment sentiments.
7: CAD is also going to affect the economy if proper measures not taken now itself.

National Food Security Bill

This historic bill which will entitle 67 % population of our country to subsidised food grains to check malnutrition and hunger issues for a certain segment of society like the old,children, lactating and pregnant mothers. It is very much debatable that in times when the current economic scenario of our country seems to be very weak with growth pegged at 5% and a huge current account deficit . The government should not have come up with this kind of populist measure which many people are considering it to be seeing the forthcoming Lok Sabha elections. The things that should be seen here clearly in the bill is that it is going to make right to food a legal duty enforceable by the courts which in itself is historic as it would be first of it's kind legislation.
                                       As mentioned in the constitution of India in the form of Directive Principles Of State Policy that it should be the responsibility of the state to look after the social , political and economic needs of the weaker sections of the society and provide measures to look after their welfare. This bill seems to be in sync to the mindset of the constitution makers but since these directives could not be implemented since independence due to lack of finances it is the duty of the governments to put these principles in consideration while formulating laws.
                                         Though the bill is aiming at achieving the social directives mentioned in the constitution as being a developing nation it's duty is to be a welfare state. It should keep in mind the other scenarios also that might ruin the india growth story as with already a demand for subsidy cut in all spheres to cut down on the current account deficit.
                                         It should have proper grievance and redressal mechanisms put in place to check leakages so that the people for which the provisions are being laid down are benefitting from it. PDS of all the states should ensure that delivery is of proper quality. Once this thing is taken care of properly it will ultimately lead to healthier children which in turn will lead to a healthy india and propel growth in long terms.

Sangharsh

Lehron ki uchaiyon ke uspaar dekh pate

Unki ufaan ko mehsoos jo tum kar pate

To shayad tum sangharsh ko mehsoos kar pate

Un toot ti bediyon ki siskiyon ko sun pate

Samay ke jatilta ko jo tum samajh paate

To shayad tum sangharsh ko mehsoos kar pate


Dhalte sooraj ki garmi jo tum seh paate

Raat ke sannate ko jo tum sun pate

To shayad tum sangharsh ko mehsoos kar pate

Dharti ki kampan jo tum mehsoos kar pate

Prakriti ki vividhta ko jo tum dekh paate

To shayad tum sangharsh ko mehsoos kar pate

Udaan

Aazadiyan jinki hai talaash
Milne ko hai jinse dil aatur 

Saaye ki hi shakal mein hain
Mil paana hai mushkil jinse

Rukna hai jisne seekha
Waqt ko jeetna usne seekha

Aazadiyan usi ki hain
Jisne barbadiyon ka
Jashn manana seekha

gokarna

The place of Lord Shiva which has people indulging in all the sacred activities beneath  an open blue sky which stretches beyond any boundaries and the setting sun makes you revel in the most scenic and beautiful sunset which I have ever witnessed. The wind and the waves fighting it out to create a melancholy that urges you to just sit beside them and let them hit your face with a message that " thou art a fool".A fool who indulges in the vagaries of life and thinks about the worldly pleasures in turn loosing out on the intrinsic pleasure which nature has bestowed upon us to witness and be a part of that experience to make it one of the cherished moments of your life. The moment when you were all alone with no one besides you to worry about ,no one besides you to trouble you , no one to say hurry up you are losing the race. Such is the magic of the place that you start wondering of setting up a shack there itself and spend rest of your life deciphering and solving the mysteries that the nature has got to offer. The waves coming and touching your feet,sinking of the sand beneath your feet giving the clue that everyone has to sink one day into the same sand and the more closer you get to nature more clearer are the mysteries of life. The waves clashing against the boulders in midst of ocean and on the shores depicting the struggles of man in his life.Then the peacing out of waves representing the ways  a man sometimes gives up but then stands again and strikes the huge boulders to break it down through a process of years is exactly symbolic of the grit and determination of great men. Arrival of them on shore marking the entry of a baby into this world when all people on the shore rejoice by being a part of that phenomenon by jumping into it or by lying down and relishing the moments just quickly followed by the retreating waves depicting the departure of someone from the world as soon as someone new comes into the world. The retreating waves make people sad and wait for another one to come and hit them once again to rejoice the moment. Thus truly depicting the cycle of life and birth and the period between it. This is what nature shows and you can decipher it if you are yourself a true nature lover.

Hey Jude

Hey, Jude, don't make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better

Hey, Jude, don't be afraid
You were made to go out and get her
The minute you let her under your skin
Then you begin to make it better.

And any time you feel the pain, hey, Jude, refrain
Don't carry the world upon your shoulders
Well don't you know that its a fool who plays it cool
By making his world a little colder

Hey, Jude! Don't let her down
You have found her, now go and get her
Remember, to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better.

So let it out and let it in, hey, Jude, begin
You're waiting for someone to perform with
And don't you know that it's just you, hey, Jude,
You'll do, the movement you need is on your shoulder

Hey, Jude, don't make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better

lamhe


jin raaston par chale the unhi ne la khada kiya hai chaurahe par
zindagi ke har mod par socha na tha itna
jitna ab sochte hain aaj is chaurahe par

bhool kar sab kuch badh gaye the jin raaston par
yaad aaj aa gaya hai sab kuch


kheech kar laye the hum apne aap ko
waqt ne aaj phir kheech peeche kar diya

soch mein baitha hai man ki kya kiya humne
ye bata paana hai mushkil zindagi ke is chaurahe par


jab bhi hosh mein nahin the tab tab tha koi dost
aaj to hoshwalon ko khabar nahin reh gaye kahan woh dost


main nahin kehta ye puri duniya kehti hai
bada mushkil hai is chaurahe se rasta dhundna

kabhi kabhi lagta hai waqt ka sab khel hai
par us waqt ne hi sikhaya in raaston par chalna

jab nahin sochte the zindagi ki gehraiyyon ko
aaj majboor ho gaye hain dubne ko unhi gehraiyyon mein

lamhon ka ek silsila sa banta gaya
aaj unhi lamhon ko yaad kar rahe hain

aur jab yaad karte hain un lamhon ko
ek aur silsila khud ba khud banta ja raha









chanchal man

ik baat ko lekar baitha hai man
bin soche samjhe gaata ye man

kahan badha ja raha musafir bole ye man
phir aayega laut wapis pal pal bole ye man

door kisi tanhai mein baitha hai ye pagal man
bas madira ki aas mein baitha hai ye pagal man

dhund(fog) mein kho gaya hai  dhoond pana hai mushkil
tap tap karti boondon mein bheeg utha hai ye pagal man

jab jab roke ye man tab tab na ruke ye man
koi samajh na paya ki kisko pal pal dhunde ye man

paristhitiyon ki aag mein jal jal ke jhulas utha ye man
kismat ki thand se kaanp kaanp kar thithur utha ye man

badal ki unchaiyon ko dekh vichlit ho utha ye man
dharti ki gond mein sone ko aatur hai ye man

raat ke sannate ko sunta hai ye man
din ke shor mein dar jaata hai ye man

dekh is duniya ko dukhi ho uthta ye man
phir dekh usi duniya ko khush ho uthta ye man
kaisa hai ye pagal man..
kaisa hai ye pagal man...

pubs and pubs and more pubs

just got only one thing in mind to talk about the silicon valley of India, Bangalore. The growth of IT companies in this city can be compared to the growth of pubs in this city. as soon as you leave the cosy comforts of your house and move past various crosses in this city you will certainly find another cosy place with great music in store along with things that levitate the "spirits". visiting these holy places of Bangalore will certainly take you closer to god and make you realise that heaven does exist on earth and that too in every nooks and corner of this holy place. and believe me that the weekends bring in devotees in huge numbers to participate in the holy activities. this place has great influence on atheist, who after seeing such devotion of people to the sacred places can't stop himself turning into a beleiver. well just hoping this devotion continues to grow as much as it can so that the city will look like a big holy place.

Society

It's a mystery to me
we have a greed
with which we have agreed

You think you have to want
more than you need
until you have it all you won't be free

society, you're a crazy breed
I hope you're not lonely without me

When you want more than you have
you think you need
and when you think more than you want
your thoughts begin to bleed

I think I need to find a bigger place
'cos when you have more than you think
you need more space

society, you're a crazy breed
I hope you're not lonely without me
society, crazy and deep
I hope you're not lonely without me

there's those thinking more or less less is more
but if less is more how you're keeping score?
Means for every point you make
your level drops
kinda like its starting from the top
you can't do that...

society, you're a crazy breed
I hope you're not lonely without me
society, crazy and deep
I hope you're not lonely without me

society, have mercy on me
I hope you're not angry if I disagree
society, crazy and deep
I hope you're not lonely without me
