!!! पेट की आग !!!

भूख इंसानी रिश्तों को मिटा देती है !

करके नंगा ये सरे आम नचा देती है !!!

आप इंसानी जफ़ाओं (व्यव्हार) को गिला करते है !!

अपनी रूह भी जिस्म को एक रोज़ दगा देती है !!!

कितनी मज़बूर है वो माँ जो मसक्कत करके !

दूध क्या छाती का खून भी सूखा देती है !!

आप जर्दार सही साहिब -इ -किरदार सही !

पेट की आग नक़ाबों को हटा देती है !!

भूख दौलत की हो या शौहरत की या अय्यारी की !

हद्द से बढ़ती है तो नज़रों से गिरा देती है !!

अपने बच्चों को खिलौनों से खिलने वालो !

मज़बूर छोटे हाथों में औज़ार थमा देती है !!

भूख बच्चओं के तबस्सुम पे असर करती है !

और लड़कपन के निशान को मिटा देती है !!

देख " एक रही " मसक्कत तो हीना के बदले !

हाथ छालों से क्या ज़ख्मों से सजा देती है !!

Lessons from Nirbhaya rape-3rd Anniversary of Nirbhaya Case

2015-12-16T22:45:00.002+05:30

Today marks three years since the gruesome Delhi gang-rape. While a lot of nonsensical and regressive statements were being made by those in power, the junta took to social media to discuss the shocking incident, what ails women’s safety in India and urgent steps that should be taken to curb crimes against women. Here’s our pick of some of the best advices and the lessons learnt.

Definite punishment

From death penalty to public castration to pelting with stones until death – there have been many suggestions as to how to punish the rapists. Debates and argument haven’t helped to reach a conclusion about the perfect punishment that will act as a deterrent. However, what has been highlighted and need attention amidst all this is the need for a definite punishment. Granting bail to rapists and letting law take its own sweet time to convict and punish will only encourage the cruel minds to turn their intentions into actions. This was also seen in the latest Uber rape case, where the cab driver threatened the survivor of hurting her with an iron rod citing Nirbhaya’s example.

Gender sensitization
What breaks a woman’s spirit more than the rape? It is the aftermath of it. The interrogation process that follows is rather humiliating with undertones of blame for the women involved. The need of the hour is to stop putting the blame on the women and posing questions like ‘what she was doing’ or ‘what she was wearing’, instead there needs to be awareness and sensitization programmes to better equip the doctors, nurses, police and lawyers to deal with rape survivors. Along with sex education in schools, young men in schools and colleges should also be educated about gender sensitization. Change in mindset is one of the most important aspects if we want to see a difference.

Action
The rape cases in the recent past and the public outrage and media coverage that followed has forced the law makers to bring about stringent changes in law and set up fast track courts. However, the numbers of rape and sexual harassment cases haven’t gone down. Reason: While there are laws to protect women and punish the offenders, there is no string and strict implementation. We have been promised the set up of crisis centres, but the lack of funds ails their functionality. We have been promised increased police patrolling on the streets, but these are certainly not enough. The failure of justice and public safety system are hugely responsible for the crimes against women.

Safer transport system
Both the Nirbhaya and Delhi Uber rape incidents point towards the laxity of both the government and police in verifying the drivers of vehicles plying on our roads. Verification of drivers of all public as well as private vehicles should be made mandatory. All buses, trains, cabs should have CCTV cameras installed and GPS system so that they can be tracked.

Speak up
Speak up against violence, however big or small; irrespective of the perpetrator, one that you know or a stranger. Nirbhaya lost her life but she has left us with this important lesson. And it is only encouraging that the Uber rape survivor too chose to go to the police. The increased awareness of what constitutes rape and the extensive reportage are encouraging women to take a stand and speak up against atrocities.

Stand up
When you choose to be a silent onlooker while a crime is taking place, you also become a part of the crime. Nirbhaya and her friend were thrown out of the bus without any clothes on them. They were lying there for help on that cold winter night but no one came forward to help them. It is this ignorance that helps the criminal minds to get their way. A lot of videos have gone viral in the recent past showing how a woman is being harassed on a busy street during the day with no one coming forward to help her. Do we expect crime to stop by merely being a bystander? We need to stand up against violence, be it for yourself, for one of your own or for a stranger.

It is everybody’s battle
It was the public outrage on social media, candle marches around the country, protests by NGOs and political outfits, exhaustive media coverage and follow-ups that put pressure on the lawmakers and the police to nab the culprits in Nirbhaya’s case. The same worked again during the Shakti Mills rape case and the more recent Uber cab rape case. India saw a collective demand for change. Let’s not let this fire burn out. Let’s not forget Nirbhaya as just another rape case. Let’s not only outrage over rape cases that go viral. Let’s collective demand what we deserve, safety for every woman in this country for a collective demand is the only way that change will be created.

A reply to Faisal Qureshi on his comment on India

2015-09-17T00:39:00.003+05:30

Beta maine suna hai aap ek Pakistaani actor hain? Agar ye sacch hai to aapko itna to pata hi hoga ki movies mein acting ki jaati hai.

Showing Saif Ali Khan's previous movie clips and comparing it to the role in Phantom. Seriously? And you call yourself mature.

And I heard you talking about Hitting India hard in Cricket. Hmm. You should watch news more often, or is it banned too in PUKEistaan? Oh, I mean Pakistan.

You say that you are neither the ISI or the Army to say anything about terrorists in your country. But then again you are commenting on something which is the work of the Officials. (And then you call Arnab Goswami has lost his mind)

Being an actor you should be aware of the fact that movies are made for entertainment.

Zyada dil pe na lo beta.

And you talk about guts? if India starts to take any action, I'm afraid there won't be any Pakistan left on the World Map.

The movie's story is a fiction. It is a ficticious movie for godsake. Stop obsessing over it. There are so many movies that are made in Pakistan that defame India, but we don't react. Know why? Because we are mature and sensible enough. So shut it.

And don't forget that Pakistan was a part of India. We gave it to you. So don't you dare say anything about India taking your property.

You call Indians the wrong doers? Your country doesn't even allow the basic freedom to its citizens. Half of the sites like YouTube are banned. You ban all the movies. And you call us cowards? IRONY.

Now who's laughing?

I guess INDIA.

P.S. I think you should just stick to movies or TV serials or whatever it is that you do. Don't get involved in all this. It will be better for you.

On Women, Rapes and Medieval India

2015-09-17T00:34:00.001+05:30

There’s something very wrong going on with the world we live in. No, I am not talking about the abysmal performance of the Indian cricket team, Sachin not retiring, or even global warming. This is about the increasingly horrid news stories we’ve been hearing these past few days.

There was a trauma center in the Indian capital where four people died in the ICU because its oxygen suply ran out. A politician who killed a cop for trying to stop him from molesting the cop’s daughter. A 14 year-old who raped a 7 year old girl. A man who got sent to jail for raping his own, gasp, daughter. And the latest – a young girl battling for her life after being gangraped in a moving bus, again, in Delhi. An assault so brutal that even doctors treating her are shocked. And these are all stories that get reported; there’s no telling how much more worse stuff is happening in our cities and villages.
Calling the perpetrators of these ghastly crimes as people would be wrong, for they are clearly not human. More like some abomination straight out of a science experiment gone wrong in a Hollywood thriller. Or results of a defect in god’s assembly line that their QA team failed to catch and discard.
Maybe somewhere down the line, the human evolution graph reached a local maxima (which probably coincided with people like Gandhi and Ambedkar), before starting its slow reversal back to prehistoric times, which brings us to today. Of times where a brother cuts off his sister’s head for bringing dishonor to their family. Of times where khap panchayats are going strong and people get killed by their own families for marrying someone the elders don’t approve of. Of people who get away with dastardly crimes because of flaws in our law enforcement, and others who try to pin blame on rape victims, because apparently men turn into animals at the sight of skin. If only their mothers had slapped them when they first made a crass comment about a girl, the criminal might have been nipped in the bud.
It’s all very depressing. There can’t be much hope for a society that can’t respect its women. It all probably starts from the environment at home, where husbands treat their wives like a servant whose only job is to bear boys, cook food, wash clothes, and get beaten up when they are upset. Because the pati is parmeshwar, isn’t he? Their boys grow up seeing this, and for them women are mere objects to be dominated and controlled. They then get into schools and colleges where they start off teasing and making rude jokes about their female classmates. The cycle goes on.
What is the way out? Outraging on Twitter for a week about the Delhi gangrape, and then forgetting all about it? Candle-light vigils outside India Gate? Baying for capital punishment/castration for rapists? Letting the Parliament not function for a few days, which seems to be how our elected representatives get work done?
I don’t know, and I doubt there is a simple answer. We definitely need better law enforcement, a legal process that acts as a deterrent and doesn’t let people get away despite committing heinous crimes, and very importantly, a political establishment that gives the matter its due importance, and doesn’t think that its job is done after a trip to the hospital and announcement of a lakh or so in cash to someone who got pushed off a running train by people trying to rape them.
Above all, we need a change of attitude. Men need to start treating their women with respect. Parents need to teach their boys that girls are their equals, and it is never acceptable to abuse them. Meanwhile, women need to learn some basic kicks and punches, just in case, and always remember that most men will not be able to stand straight after a kick in the nuts.
It might also help if they stopped showing all the regressive nonsense that passes off as real-life-inspired soaps on TV. The other option is that we start aborting the girl child, because clearly we as a society don’t deserve women anymore.

Do We Need Religion?

2015-09-17T00:28:00.000+05:30

Should there be religion? If you are a good person, does nothing wrong to your brothers and sisters, loving, respects your elders, smart to do the right thing, generous to feed hungry, loves your parents, and above all praises God's gifts/blessings to mankind.

Wouldn't it be enough to have this ideal? If he/she feeds the poor, forgives enemies, teaches God's word, would you not admire that person? Would you still believe that he/she doesn't deserve to enter the gates of Heaven?

I always pray to God, I love my wife , I do not make enemies, I'm a Hindu but do not believe in the rosary. Did I hurt anyone? I love all God's creation.

Religion should not dictate who enters the Kingdom of God.

An Open Letter to Everyone Afraid of Failure

2015-09-17T00:25:00.001+05:30

Dear recent gradu-queer and any queer on the struggle bus,

Welcome to this shit show called adulthood! (If anyone tells you adulthood is not some kind of a shit show, I give you permission to bite them on the nose for lying.)

Perhaps you've recently bid farewell to some university or college, with or without your sanity, self-esteem, and/or personal values. Or, perhaps, you've long ago hung up your cap and gown, or you left "higher" education without the pomp and circumstance. Or, maybe you never fit quite neatly into the post-high school narrative.

Somewhere in any and all of these options, you're supposed to have found a job or degree, and the world makes you feel worthless if you don't have either or both. It's fascinating how in the blink of an eye, people stop asking you what you want to be when you grow up and start asking "What are you doing with your life?" It's terrifying how both of those questions bind your value to dollar signs.

Especially if you don't have a career plan or degree trajectory mapped out, the "What are your plans?" question can sound more like a death knell than a polite inquiry into the state of your life.

That loaded question is kind of a death knell insomuch as it values your contributions to a capitalist infrastructure more than it values your personhood.

I am writing to you today to say your humanity — your individuality, your sense of self-worth, the life experiences that bring you to your next inhale, the way you chew with your mouth open, the way you own your truths (or don't) — matter far more than how conveniently you fit into an economic system that was created to oppress you. So with that statement in mind, I invite you to try failing.

As a Black, first-generation American dyke, I usually roll my eyes at the notion of failure. I pretend that I don't have time for failure (as if failure happens only when I make time for it).

I will actually go out of my way to chastise myself for failing. We queers may resist or fight the possibility of failure, especially if we're additionally marginalized by being a woman, or trans/gender non-conforming, or a person of color, or poor, or undocumented, or disabled, or any combination of the above, or any category I left out.

I believe that we bridle at this possibility of failure because we feel that in the eyes of the world we are meant to be failures. In that respect, we are failures; however I'd like to offer the solace that this failure is exactly what we've used to survive.

In "Capitalism, the Family, and the Anus," Guy Hocquenghem observes, "Capitalism turns its homosexuals into failed normal people, just as it turns its working class into an imitation of the middle class."

We queers grind against the System's norms for sex, sociability, family, power, love, consumption, and reproduction. We're construed as failures, but we're far from broken.

In this "failure" of our being, we create room for other imaginings of our futures and perhaps even as much as an anti-capitalist existence. In "The Queer Art of Failure," J. Halberstam insists, "The queer art of failure turns on the impossible, the improbable, the unlikely, and the unremarkable. It quietly loses and in losing it imagines other goals for life, for love, for art, and for being."

Think of all the ways you — and we, queer people — have continually created, destroyed, and rebuilt ourselves and our communities in the sacred act of honoring our humanity. How can you be anything less than magic?

So sit with me a moment and meditate on these two familiar questions:

What do you want to be when you "grow up?"
What are you doing/do you want to do with your life?

Sit with yourself, your love, your horrors, your victories, and your losses. Prioritize the answers to those questions that are not explicitly connected to a degree or career. Ask yourself these questions every day and all the time until you believe your failure. Your failure is usually the most honest parts of yourself.

We don't all have the same "access" to failure, and you would most certainly have to bite me on the nose if I said so. Society gives some bodies more permission to contradict the norm than others. Unfortunately, until you and I, and all marginalized folks destroy Capitalism, we'll probably need jobs and degrees to a certain extent.

Also, I'm no televangelist and meditating on the aforementioned questions with me will not guarantee you a job or degree. However, I want to invite you to push against Society's command to see yourself as worthy only when you serve the economic interests of the State. We're taught that we must run from anything that is seen as "not-success," even if that endeavor actually means standing still in the static of our own boring mediocrity.

Be mindful of the way you may compulsively sell yourself to others, of the embarrassed tone that may creep in your voice when you explain that you don't have a plan yet, of the way you qualify what you're doing with "just this job ..." or "only that class ..."

Please be gentle with yourself always. In spite of what they may say, most humans are still in the process of searching for life. You are a beautiful, perfectly imperfect person whose worth is not monetary. Failure isn't the enemy; fear of failure is.

Love,

A Fellow Failure

P.S. People with jobs, degrees, or both, let's think of other questions to ask people than, "Where do you work?" or "When do/did you go to school?" They're boring questions anyway, OK? OK.

The Burning Question to Arnab Gowswami

2015-09-17T00:10:00.000+05:30

Dear Mr Gowswami,

I have been following you since quite a long time now, and have been a great fan of you. I believe you play an important role in our country, a role of highlighting the "BURNING QUESTION".
I also believe that you are a very honest journalist.
But, recently your focus on ‪#‎SheenaMurderPlot‬ has left me disheartened and hopeless. Is this really a burning question ? I wonder.
I am a common citizen of India, and I deal with day to day life like any other ordinary person. In my daily ordeal to reach office and to breathe fresh air I see so many "BURNING QUESTION", which I hope somebody at your position would raise.
I feel irritated when I person behind my car honks constantly at the red light and wants me to jump the signal. I see the traffic cop standing helplessly when someone breaks a signal. I then ask a question :
Is there a solution to our increasingly terrific traffic condition ? I then think of you.
Then I see most of people spitting on road as if it is a gutter, I see people dumping waste on road, with no sense of guilt. I then ask a question :
Is there a forum from where we can address this issue ? I again think of your show.
Then while waiting at a red light, when a little girl bangs on the window of my car and points at her stomach to make me realize, that she is hungry. I have another question :
Why are we still not able to feed every one, and if this problem is not big enough to be discussed at a national platform ? I remember then that you host a show that many in the country watch.
Then I see a small boy serving tea at a shop, who looks at the school going kids, not with any hope of being in that position.
For some reason I ask to myself how can I help him, and what is the correct approach to solving this problem of child labour ? I think you can collect intellectual people to answer this.
There are many other unanswered "BURNING QUESTIONS", which I ask daily to myself.
I think you have a responsibility towards the nation, this has come to you and people like you can actually change the way our country is running. Please think about these questions and let Sheena rest in peace.
I hope I haven't hurt you, but I hope I make you meet yourself.

बनकर नदी जब बहा करूंगी

2014-10-30T03:14:00.002+05:30

बनकर नदी जब बहा करूंगी,
तब क्या मुझे रोक पाओगे?
अपनी आँखों से कहा करूँगी,
तब क्या मुझे रोक पाओगे?

हर कथा रचोगे एक सीमा तक
बनाओगे पात्र नचाओगे मुझे
मेरी कतार काटकर तुम
एक भीड़ का हिस्सा बनाओगे मुझे

मेरी उड़ान को व्यर्थ बता
हंसोगे मुझपर, टोकोगे मुझे
एक तस्वीर बता, दीवार पर चिपकाओगे मुझे।
पर जब ...
अपने ही जीवन से कुछ पल चुराकर
मैं चुपके से जी लूँ!
तब क्या मुझे रोक पाओगे?
तुम्हे सोता देख,
मैं अपने सपने सी लूँ!
अपनी कविता के कान भरूंगी,
तब क्या मुझे रोक पाओगे?
जितना सको प्रयास कर लो इसे रोकने की,
इसके प्रवाह का अन्दाज़ा तो मुझे भी नहीं अभी!

अब तो किसी भी बात पे,ऐतबार नहीं होता

2014-10-30T02:57:00.001+05:30

अब तो किसी भी बात पे,ऐतबार नहीं होता
होते हैं बस समझौते दिलों के,कोई प्यार नहीं होता

कितना भी समझा लें हम,इस दिल-ए-नादान को
एक क़तरा कभी,कोई सागर नहीं होता

दिल में लिये हसरत किसी की,ये उम्र गुज़र जाती है
के तक़दीर पे किसी की अपनी,इख्तियार नहीं होता

लगते हैं जो पल सुहाने,वो हैं मेरे बस ख्वाबों के
हकीक़त में कभी ख़ुशी का,दीदार नहीं होता

ढल जाते हैं ये अश्क,एक और ग़म की राह लिये
इन होंठों को अब किसी हंसी का,इंतज़ार नहीं होता

तू कह दे तो मैं तेरा बन जाऊं.

2014-10-29T04:07:00.002+05:30

मेरे अल्फाजों कों तुने ठुकराया,इश्क कहता है कि शायर बन जाऊंमेरे ज़ज्बातों कों तुने ठोकर में उड़ाया,वो कहते हैं कि थोडा कायर बन जाऊं.

कुछ खास नहीं है मेरे पास बस प्यास है,ताउम्र तुझे देखने कि आस हैहै तेरे तसव्वुर का मुझे इन्तेजार,तू इस दिल-ए-नादान के लिए खास है

ना कर यूँ मुझसे नफ़रत ए हुस्न-ए-वफ़ा,ना अपने दिल कों दे तू यूँ दगातेरे तबस्सुम की मुझे तलाश है,तू कहे तो घायल बन जाऊं

कुछ ना दिया मैंने तुझे दर्द-ए-दिल के सिवा,और तुझे मैंने दिया है ज़फामाफ करना तेरी फितरत थी कभी,बस एक और बार तू निभा दे वफ़ा

तेरे अश्कों कों अपनी आँखें दूँ मैं,तेरे कांपते लबों कि कसम है,है निखिल बदनाम यहाँ,तू कह दे तो मैं तेरा बन जाऊं.

अँधेरे चंद लोगों का अगर मक़सद नहीं होते

यहाँ के लोग अपने आप में सरहद नहीं होते

न भूलो, तुमने ये ऊँचाईयाँ भी हमसे छीनी हैं

हमारा क़द नहीं लेते तो आदमक़द नहीं होते

फ़रेबों की कहानी है तुम्हारे मापदण्डों में

वगरना हर जगह बौने कभी अंगद नहीं होते

तुम्हारी यह इमारत रोक पाएगी हमें कब तक

वहाँ भी तो बसेरे हैं जहाँ गुम्बद नहीं होते

चले हैं घर से तो फिर धूप से भी जूझना होगा

सफ़र में हर जगह सुन्दर— घने बरगद नही होते

हमारी तरहा हथेली पे जान थोड़ी है

हमारे मुँह से जो निकले वही सदाक़त है
हमारे मुँह में तुम्हारी ज़ुबान थोड़ी है

जो आज साहिबे मसनद हैं कल नहीं होंगे
किराएदार हैं ज़ाती मकान थोड़ी है

घरवाली- बाहरवाली

2014-10-29T03:58:00.005+05:30

घरवाली- बाहरवाली

चेहरे पे सौम्यता आँखों में लाज की लाली हो,ऐसी मेरी घरवाली हो.
चेहरे पे शरारत नैन नशे की प्याली हो,ऐसी वो बाहरवाली हो.

घरवाली ऐसी हो की

साड़ी से जो खुश हो जावे,पति सेवा बस ध्यान में लावे.
जींस टॉप से दूर रहे जो,पूज्य हैं आप ये कहे जो.
जितने चाहूँ उतने बच्चे जन दे,हर पल अपना तन मन दे.
सास ससुर को खीर खिलावे,मम्मी के वो पावं दबावे.
फ़ोन से मेरे दूर रहे, पैसों से मजबूर रहे.
भजन कीर्तन का शौक हो, चारदीवारी बस उसकी रौनक हो.
परपुरुष जिसको पाप लगे, उमदराज लोग बाप लगे.
चाय से लेकर भोजन तक सबका उसको ध्यान रहे.
शारीरिक भूख से सात्विक भूख तक सबका उसको सम्मान रहे.
फिगर से लैला ना भी लगे पर मन से वो सावित्री हो.
मजाक की बातें भाये जिसको थोड़ी सी कवियत्री हो.
मेरे लक्ष्य में जिसकी नैया पार लगे.
उसकी आँखों में धुन हो मेरी,बस मेरा वो प्यार लगे.
जिसके वंश में संस्कृति मन में संस्कार हो.
मेरे चरणों की दासी हो बस मेरा अधिकार हो.

बाहर वाली ऐसी हो की

जींस टॉप को खास कहे वो या उससे भी कपडे कम हों.
रिश्ते की ना बात करे वो, इमोशनल लफड़े कम हों.
फास्ट फ़ूड में मस्त रहे,मेरी बाँहों में पस्त रहे.
दारू सुट्टा जिसको भाये,जब भी बुलावूँ तब आ जाये.
अमीर बाप की बेटी हो,सब मेरे बिल देती हो.
सारी किस्म की फिल्में देखे,मेरे तन को खूब निरेखे.
फिगर हो जिसकी अच्छी खासी,बॉडी को बस दे शाबासी.
बिना शादी के साथ रहे,जो जी चाहे दिल खोल कहे.
फ्यूचर की जिसको चिंता न हो,मेरे नाकामी पे शर्मिंदा न हो.
हर बातो को कुल कहे,गधे को ब्यूटीफुल कहे.
दिन रात मस्ती दे ऐसी, गांजे की ऐसी की तैसी.

दिल करता तुमको नशीली ग़ज़ल लिखूं.

दिल करता तुमको नशीली ग़ज़ल लिखूं.
नाजनीन कहूँ या खिलता कमल लिखूं.
चांदनी कहूँ या ताजमहल लिखूं.
बेवफा कहूँ या वफ़ा का पल लिखूं.
हूर कहूँ या उर्वशी का दल लिखूं.
ये मिज़ाजे इश्क हैं,इश्क के आगोश में हूँ.
इश्क को महक लिखूं या कोई दलदल लिखूं.

मेरी साँसों में बिखर जाओ तो अच्छा होगा;
बन के रूह मेरे जिस्म में उतर जाओ तो अच्छा होगा;
किसी रात तेरी गोद में सिर रख के सो जाऊं;
फिर उस रात की कभी सुबह ना हो तो अच्छा होगा।

जब कोई ख्याल दिल से टकराता है;
दिल ना चाह कर भी, खामोश रह जाता है;
कोई सब कुछ कहकर, प्यार जताता है;
कोई कुछ ना कहकर भी, सब बोल जाता है।

माना कि किस्मत पे मेरा कोई ज़ोर नही;
पर ये सच है कि मोहब्बत मेरी कमज़ोर नही;
उस के दिल मे, उसकी यादो मे कोई और है लेकिन;
मेरी हर साँस में उसके सिवा कोई और नही।

करिये तो कोशिश हमको याद करने की;
फुर्सत के लम्हे तो अपने आप मिल जायेंगे;
दिल में अगर है चाहत हमसे मिलने की;
बहाने मिलने के खुद-ब-खुद बन जायेंगे।

रात होगी तो चाँद दुहाई देगा;
ख्वाबों में आपको वह चेहरा दिखाई देगा;
ये मोहब्बत है ज़रा सोच कर करना;
एक आंसू भी गिरा तो सुनाई देगा।

ऐ आशिक तू सोच तेरा क्या होगा;
क्योंकि हशर की परवाह मैं नहीं करता;
फनाह होना तो रिवायत है तेरी;
इश्क़ नाम है मेरा मैं नहीं मरता।

जो रहते हैं दिल में वो जुदा नहीं होते;
कुछ एहसास लफ़्ज़ों से बयां नहीं होते;
एक हसरत है कि उनको मनाये कभी;
एक वो हैं कि कभी खफा नहीं होते।

Plight of women in India- Witch branding

2012-01-17T19:16:00.000+05:30

Even after so many years of independence, women in India continue to suffer socially as well as economically at different levels and in different forms.Oneof the most horrific violence against women is branding them as witch. Scores of women are regularly killed on charges of witchcraft across the county. This largely happens in states like Assam, Bihar, Jharkhand and West Bengal annually. Women mostly widows are beaten, often paraded in the village and sometimes forced to eat excrete.

According to a recent report by NGO -Association for Social and Human Activities, between 2001 and 2008,452 women were killed in Jharkhand. Jharkhand’s economic backwardness and a low literacy rate of 53.6% and 38.9% for women have led to prevalence of superstition, illiteracy and violence against women. Even the death of an animal becomes a source for condemning some poor woman as a witch or dayan.Often it is an excuse to grab property or settle scores with someone.

Though Jharkhand has witchcraft prevention Act under which the maximum punishment is a one year imprisonment, its implementation is still awaited. Lack of access to justice is cited as one of the main reasons for not availing it .The other reasons being distance and attitude of people.

The Govt of India has decided to introduce law against witch-hunting with stricter penalties but it is equally important to spread awareness among the people.

Kuchh kaho na !!

2012-01-17T19:09:00.001+05:30

Kuchh kaho na !!

Kuchh pal saath chale to jaanaa,
Rastaa hai jaanaa pehchanaa .Saanso ko sur de jaataa hai,
Tera yo.n sapano mai.n aanaa.Maine jatan kiye to lakho.n
Mann ne meet tumhi ko maanaa
Ab to haath thhaam lene do
Aur kaho na , na na , na na !Sau janam ka saath apna,
Sans ka dhadkan se jaise,
Aas ka jeevan se jaise,
Kaise kate saal solah,
Shyam ki jogan ke jaise.
Jhoot ke parde na dhoondo,
Sach kaho na .
Kuchh kaho na ..

Ek dooje ke liye ham,
Haath main kangan ke jaise,
Pyaas main sawan ke jaise,
Roop ko darpan ke jaise,
Bhakt ko bhag_van ke jaise.
Jheel si simtee na baitho,
Kuchh baho na .
Kuchh kaho na ..

Jaanata hoon thak gayee ho,
Umr ke lambe safar se,
Saanp se dasate shahar se,
Aas se aur aansuon se,
Bheed ke gahare bhawanar se.
Waqt firata hai suno,
Itna daro na .
Kuchh kaho na ..

Kis tarah ladatee rahi ho,
Pyaas se parchhaiyon se,
Neend se , angadaiyon se,
Maut se aur zindagi se,
Teej se ,tanahaiyon se.
Sab tapasya tod dalo,
Ab saho na
Kuchh kaho na !!

Syaah sannaton main hamane,
Umr katee hai tanhaa,
Tang aur andhi surangen,
Is gufaa se us gufaa.

Saans thi sahami hui si,
Dhadakanon ko ek darr,
Itnaa tanhaa aur lambaa,
Zindgi ka uff safar.
Door meelon door jalati ,
Lau koi lagatee ho tum ,
Tum ho,tum ho,Tum hi tum ho ,
Ho naa tum, tum, ho naa tum.

Pal se pal tak jee rahe hain,
Tum hi pal pal aas ho na,
Ek pal to aur thaharo ,
Ek pal dikhati raho na .

Kuchh kaho na !!

What do u give Reason or excuse??

2012-01-17T19:09:00.000+05:30

What do you give - reasons or excuses?

What are Reasons and Excuses?

Reasons are rational explanations given for thinking in a particular way or for doing a particular activity. They are basically logical justifications in accordance with some motive. While excuses are an attempt to convince oneself or others about the difficulties involved when apromise is not kept or there is lack of progress, or simply, when something is not done. Excuses are often disguised as reasons. This is where we need to be careful and examine the situation properly so that we look for the right reasons and not excuses. Another way of looking at them is.. reasons are needed to do a particular activity, while excuses are reasons to not do it.

When are explanations required?

You need to give an excuse or a reason only in two types of situations-one, where you were supposed to do something but ended up with something else and two, where you were not able to do the required activity at all and need some explanation to get you out of the embarrassment, or to make others see why it wasn’t your fault and you should not be blamed for it.
Mistakes happen. Unintentionally too. So we should always reason out why they happened and make others also see the same. Not only to be excused, but also to learn from your mistakes and to know why they happened. But be careful. Sometimes, even if we have a valid reason, some people can look at it as an excuse and you may get a reputation of being irresponsible. Generally, people who make excuses have low credibility and are known to be untrustworthy.

What to do in such a situation?
Chickening out by giving excuses should be the last thing a person should do. We should reason out things rationally and avoid such situations and take responsibility for our actions. If there has been some mistake, in spite of the best of efforts put in, it is better to own up than to give excuses or even reasons for that matter. However, do explain the factors which were not under your control.

How to avoid getting into such situations?
First and foremost, be confident of whatever you do. If you believe in yourself and do your work faithfully and honestly, most of your work is done. In this way you will leave no room for explanations-as reason or excuse. Give in your best. So that at least the factors you can control are working to your benefit. You would not be held responsible for the remaining factors, as they were not in your control. If you have been accused of not being credible enough in the past, you must learn from your mistakes and try even harder to achieve what you missed out before.
Identify what went wrong and how it went wrong. Be true to yourself when you do so, since “an excuse is worse than a lie, for an excuse is a lie, guarded”. And lying to yourself and being convinced about it is the worst thing to do. Once you have identified you mistakes and weaknesses, work on them to make them your strengths.

Most of us can confuse a reason with an excuse. There can be situations where we may state a reason for not doing something. But think twice about whether it is really a valid reason or just an excuse, which you are making up to satisfy yourself and end-up believing it also. People will keep giving explanations. But the question is will you too do the same or stand out in the crowd and work without them???
