Postmortem....

Now its time for selling terror & emotions!!!!

Its true.....

That's what is happening now. 

Instead of taking responsibilities political parties are blaming each other just to prepare their vote banks. News channels & papers are making money with the live telecast of the political fish market.

A lot of news.... ministers resigning.... forming of federal beaurou in india.... training police.... providing better ammunition.... blah blah blah blah.... !!!! Everything is a matter of few days, just a month or two. After elections everything will go for a toss. New government, new politics & again new face of terror. People will get busy in their daily chores. No-one will speak about whatever happened. Next year on the same date we will be watching a brief review of the happenings with some bright title. 

You might think what rubbish i am talking. This might hurt you for now but its is a bitter truth & history is the proof for it. Turn over the pages of history. What did we do after Delhi blasts, Varanasi blasts, Mumbai Local train blasts, Ahemdabad blasts....???? List is never-ending.

Did we do anything? ................. No !!!!!

Did govt. do anything ? ............... No !!!!

What we did then? 

Watched regular reports on news channels. Cursed politicians & politics. Sent messages, emails full of emotions. Made movies on the topic & shed some tears while watching them. That's what we are doing now as well.

Wake up ....

Only we can make a change....

Depending on anyone for the solution is a waste of time & Life. Stop being selfish for your own life. Lets get united !!!! That's the only solution....

Only Unity can make a difference ....

Jung to chand roz hoti hai.... Zindagi barson talak roti hai !!!!

This Gun battle will get over today or tomorrow. But, no one knows when will this terror end.

Probably we are getting used to carry dead bodies of our own lives drowning in the deep sea of terror. Things will never change because we are accepting the way it is.  Adjusting to the situation is what we always do irrespective of its severity.

World peace is something which seems to be unattainable.

Is this what we are about to give our coming generations as a gift? 

Most probably next generation will be used to all this. 

Bomb blasts, High Jacks, Murders, Kidnaps will be common.

They might not study but will definitely know to make bombs & shoot people around them to fulfill their basic needs....

"Zindagi ki koi keemat na hogi....

Pyaar ki koi jagah nahi....

Aman ki baat kabhi mat karna....

Bujhegi usse pyaas nahi !!!!"

War Against Terror....

More than 48 hrs of terror now. News Channels blocked, Phones jammed. No way to know what's happening in town! Last we heard of was a fake firing news around CST.

According to the reports terrorists were staying in the Hotels for over a month  That shows how able our security professionals are! I know its not the right time to question about these things but still truth remains the same. 300+ lives would have been saved if our security personnels did their job religiously. 

But, we can do nothing now than praying for people who lost their lives & for people who are struggling to get us out of this terrible situation. I would like to salute our commandos, police & forces who are doing their best. Wishing all the best to them !!!!

26/11....!!!!

Last night it was approx 10:30 PM when i was getting ready for office. After getting ready i just switched on tv to pass my time till cab comes for pick-up. Roaming through channels i got stunned to see the news stating serial bomb blasts in Mumbai. It was unbelievable at first sight. Blasts turned out to be terrorists attack at different places across Mumbai. It was a high alert. My shift got cancelled. I couldn't sleep as i slept for the whole day. Thoughts were tickling around my mind. Thinking about innocent people who lost thier lives. Blooded videos which i saw were not going out of my sight. I slept around 3 am, got up early morning at 6, just to see the updates. I came to know about the hundreds of hostages under terrorists in Hotel Taj & Oberoi. Also about the Brave Police Officers who devoted their lives in saving those people. I salute them from my heart. 

Its not been a year since serial blasts in Local Trains threatened Mumbai. Somehow people managed to get back to the track when some so called politicians started dividing people on basis of places & community, that forced community riots in Mumbai. In all they just tried to separate Maharastra from rest of India just to fill up their vote-banks. What happened to those politicians now? Now after this big terrorists attack, the so called minister says," Its not an attack on Mumbai. Its an attack on whole country."  Don't you feel shame Mr. Minister! just a few days back you said,"People from north origin should be banned from coming to Mumbai as due to them Mumbai is unable to progress" Is that "North" not under India or its just that when in need you treat all states as one India. Its time for you to know that 200+ commandos (all from North) are fighting against terrorists to get us out of this horrible situation. 

The so called politicians did what they could, to give rise to the riots. Now where are those leaders. If you are a true leader then come up, do something to save Mumbai! No-one comes in front of the camera now because they know they will have no answer to these questions. Is that what you did for Mumbai's progress! If you have a bit of shame left then secure Mumbai first then talk about communities & people. Because no matter where a Mumbaikar is from, he is the one who suffers. Mumbai is known for its diversity in people & languages. Don't play with its dignity! A true Mumbaikar never will never say where he belongs to, because he knows this is the place which gets him bread & butter so for him its his motherland, Its not Mumbai or Delhi, Its just INDIA.... ONE INDIA !!!!

O'Lord !!!!

A new lesson each day .... that's what life is all about. Either you lose or win, you will learn something or the other, but when the loosing part is comparatively higher then life seems to be a burden. 

Lord Krishna has said, 

" Karmanye Vadhikaraste Ma Phaleshu Kadachana,

Ma Karma Phala Hetur Bhurmatey Sangostva Akarmani" 

He says "keep working without worrying about or expecting rewards for your labor".

But, fact remains that results are more important than labor  No one appreciates your labor unless you give best results. Don't know how many times i am going to lose in this never ending race but i'll try till the end of my life.

O'Lord! you cant be angry with me for long. I know, i did a lot of mistakes, please forgive me. I need a hand on my shoulders, someone to wipe my tears i.e., i need you now, please come along & walk with me. I promise i'll be thankful to you forever.... Vikram :-(

Memories....

Memories ....  A integral part of Life. A word that turns your leisure time into a video film of past & we start projecting future. We start remembering some good moments & suddenly it takes us away to some moments which we don't want to remember. They are all in the recycle bin of our mind & keep restoring themselves from time to time. Why can't we have shift+delete function as we have on our systems to erase of those memories forever? 

Time changes, people change, surroundings do change but memories remain unchanged forever. They keep on increasing themselves day by day. I tried to find ways to get rid of bad memories. I couldn't, but in that process i found many ways to make forthcoming memories better. We remember bad times not because it just came in our mind, its only because we wanted it to remember. As Human beings we are never satisfied, either from work or home etc. We tend to complain for things & when we can't find anyone to listen we just complain to ourselves. That's when it acquires space in our memory & keeps us reminding that particular thing from time to time.

The only thing we can do to get away from this is to keep chill. We need to give some time to ourselves. We just forgot our desires in this blind race of life. Keeping up our desires can make a lot difference. Just enjoy every part of life. We got to try to find ways to keep ourselves busy in things we like. try & find ways to laugh. 

Close your room when no-one is around.... & laugh, sing as if nobody is listening.... loud, loud & louder. Listen to the fastest tracks ever. Dance even if you can't. Talk to yourself. Listen to your lifetime buddy which is inside you. It will give you immense courage. Have you ever tried this? If not.... try it once. It worked for me & i am sure it will do for you as well.... :-)

Shri Krishna Janmashtmi ....

Janmashtami is the joyful celebration of Lord Krishna's birth. Major celebrations of Krishna Janmashtami takes place at midnight as Krishna is said to have made his divine appearance in that hour. Fasting, bhajans, pujas and many other rituals mark Janmashtami celebrations in India. Shri Krishna is considered to be one of the most endeared human incarnations of Lord Vishnu. Born more than 5000 years ago in Mathura city, the revered God of Hindu religion and his teachings hold immense relevance till date.

Krishna Janmashtami is observed on the eighth day of the dark half (Krishna Paksha) of the month of Shraavana in the Hindu calendar, when the Rohini Nakshatram is ascendent. The Hindu calendar being lunar, these two events the day being the eighth of the waning moon (Krishna-paksha Ashtami) and the Rohini Nakshatram being ascendent may overlap for only a few hours. In such an event, the festival may be celebrated on different (but successive) days by different people, depending on their local or family traditions The festival falls sometime in the months of August/September of the Gregorian calendar.

Dahi Handi Celebrations :

In Mumbai and Pune, Janmashtami, popularly known here as Dahi Handi is celebrated with enormous zeal and enthusiasm. Various Handis (in this context, a Handi is a clay pot, suspended high above the ground, containing prizes) are set up locally in almost every nook and corner of the city, and groups of youngsters, called Govinda Pathaks (English: Troupes of Lord Krishna) travel around in trucks trying to break as many handis as possible during the day.

Many such Govinda Pathaks compete with each other, especially for the handis that dole out hefty rewards. The event, in recent times, has gathered a political flavor, and it is not uncommon for political parties, and rich community groups to offer prizes amounting to lakhs of rupees.

Some of the most famous handis are at Dadar, Mazgaon, Lalbaug and some in Thane a neighboring district of Mumbai and Babu Genu, Mandai in Pune.

Wish u all a very Happy Janmashtmi !!!!

Truth of Life ....

For last few months i was not feeling good . I was getting bored of this so called life. It actually felt to me that i am not the same person as i was a year back or so. It does not mean that i had no friends or i didn't had a good earning. I was missing my previous college a lot. I got many new friends in this span of time but only few could manage to get to my heart or could understand me rather i would say. Moreover instead of trying i was unable to find any way to fulfill my dreams. May be i was more concerned about the goals i had since my childhood instead of looking out ways to do better in what i was actually doing. It was more about mental satisfaction which i was searching for. I forgot that a mind can't be satisfied by fulfilling the desires because they are endless. We can't stop dreaming! We can't stop desiring for a bit better than what we have! But if you know how to enjoy what you are doing to make your dreams true then believe me no one in this entire universe will be happier than you. That's what i realized now. We have to sacrifice few dreams to make others come true. Sometimes its really difficult to manage because we are not alone. We have to consider others . We can't be happy leaving everyone behind. I learned that Life is a process which has to go on. Its a long journey not a destination & we have to find better path to go through. Its not about goals, its all about how good you play the game of life.... Vikram

Sone de maa ....

Teri kahaani mein jita tha beta tera....

Tu hi bata kya jhuta tha kissa tera....

Aansu baha na maa....ek din yeh hona hi tha....

Lamha Lamha jita jahan.... Ladte Ladte main thak gaya....

Sone de maa main nahi jeena....

Sone de maa main nahi jeena....

Kabse hai pukare maa aawaaz koyi....

Kabse andheron mein ghar mera khoya kahi....

Sadiya hui tere aanchal mein soya nahi....

Lori koyi phir se suna....

Chalte Chalte main thak gaya....

Sone de maa main nahi jeena....

Sone de maa nahi jeena....

Aakhri Angdaayi, nind mujhe aayi....

dheere dheere dhundla sama....

haste haste ab kar vida....

sone de maa main nahi jeena....

sone de maa main nahi jeena....

Life !!!!

Har khushi hai logo ke Daman mein....

Har khushi hai logo ke Daman mein,
Par ek hansi ke liye waqt nahi.
Din raat daudti duniya mein,
Zindagi ke liye hi waqt nahi


Maa ki lori ka ehsaas to hai,
par Maa ko Maa kehne ka waqt nahi.
Saare rishton ko to hum maar chuke,
ab unhe dafnane ka bhi waqt nahi....


Sare naam mobile me hain,
Par dosti ke liye waqt nahi.
Gairon ki kya baat kahein,
jab apno ke liye hi waqt nahi....


Aankhon mein hai neend badi,
Par sone ko waqt nahi.
Dil hai gamo se bhara hua,
Par rone ko bhi waqt nahi....


Paison ki daud me aise daude,
Ki thakne ko bhi waqt nahi.
Paraye ehsason ki kya kadr karein,
Jab apne sapno ke liye hi waqt nahi....


Tu hi bata ae zindagi,
Is zindagi ka kya hoga,
Ki har pal marane walon ko,
Jeene ke liye bhi waqt nahi...."

Zindagi !!!!

Zindagi mein kabhi kabhi hum itne aage nikal jaate hain ki humein yaad hi nahi rehta ki hum peeche kuchh bhool aaye hain .... kuchh aisa jiske bina hamari zindagi adhuri hai .... kuchh khas pal .... kuchh khas log .... aur shayad ek khas zindagi .... jiske bare mein mein humne bachpan mein kabhi socha tha .... socha tha apna aasman banayenge .... niklenge is jahan se aage ..... ek naya jahan banane ko ..... apne sapno ki duniya .... par kitne logon ko wo sab yaad hai .... ? shayad kisi ko bhi nahi .... Duniya ki bheed mein hum aise khote ja rahe hain jaise dhool ka katra baarish mein kahin gum ho jata hai.... hum bhool gaye ki humne kuchh sapne dekhe the .... bhool gaye ki humne apne aapse kuchh vaade kiye the .... kho gaye hai hum is duniya mein rishtey nibhate nibhate ....kuchh rishton ke saath hum is duniya aaye .... kuchh humne khud yahan pe banaye .... par unme se kitne rishtey zinda hain .... kabhi socha hai kya humne .... kya kabhi yaad bhi aata hai ki jab hum pehli baar school gaye the to kisne humse sabse pehle dosti ki thi .... nahi yaad hai na ....!!!! Hum naye logon se milte gaye .... naye dost bante gaye .... kuchh kahaniyan bani ... kuchh banne se pehle hi khatm ho gayi .... Par haan kuchh yaadein kabhi kabhi zehan mein aa jati hain ... par us waqt ek pal muskurane ke siva hum kuchh nahi karte .... kabhi koi yaad aankhon ko ek katra aansu bhi de jaati hai .... lekin phir sab bhool kar hum lag jate hain ye jhooti zindagi jeene mein .... jhoote rishtey naate nibhane mein .... kabhi apni zindagi ke aaine mein dekhne ki koshish bhi nahin karte hum .... Aur kabhi kabhi jo dikhta hai usey bhi andhekha kar dete hain hum .... Shayad kabhi zindagi ko samajh hi nahi paye hum .... ya phir samajhna nahi chahte ....

Zindagi ko agar khoobsurat banana hai to samajhna hoga zindagi ko .... Yaad karo apne un beete lamho ko .... bichade doston ko .... jo kabhi tumko bahut pyare the .... Tumhara dosti ka ek lafz kisi ko wo anjani khushi de sakta hai jo tum kabhi sapne mein bhi soch nahi sakte .... & believe me .... tumhe bhi utni hi khushi hogi .... !!!!
