Going…going…gone
Gazing at a tired sun,
reduced to
a mere dim orange dot
in the western sky,
preparing itself to call it a day.
Seemingly in such a hurry
to hit the horizon and
disappear behind the hills,
to find rest and rejuvenation
leaving behind a gray sky…
turning darker, black ultimately.
Ah, seems so tranquil…peaceful!
Hark! It’s going…going…gone!

Among the problems which world encounter now a days with global platforms like climate change, poverty,hunger and migrants(recent rohingya community condition put a question on UN efforts who always claim to make this word equal to all),the problem of ISIS brutality over wast swathes of iraq and syria is most intriguing for world.without understanding of middle east history someone can not explain why isis is beyond the aggregate power of US and its allies.the way this caliphate is propagating its ismlamic propaganda under abu bakr al bagdadi made people think about the survival in democracy in modern world.earlier there were many attempts to establish a caliphate by local and regional extremists organisation like al-quaeda based in afghanishtan and other sectarian controlled countries.why i would not consider efforts of BOKO HARAM controlling a part of nigeria as caliphate because that group flourished under uncontrolled corruption of the country and presence of a unmanagebale natural resource of nigeria.coming back to ISIS strength and applauding the way they have organised their warriors and poses a threat to world community,the way they are slaying journalists and civilian of developed and developing countries.the main reason the extraordinary power of isis which is untamable by joint operation of US and its iranian allies.actully the story goes back to 1979 iranian revolution when they dethroned a pahalvi dynasty monarch from tehran.the first shock goes to its sunni population dominated saudi arab which was ruled by ibn saud and its generation since 1945.all of saudis which believed in hardcore islamic principle gave rise to an new ideology of islam called as wahabbism in saudi arabina people.when islamic revolution dethroned a monarch and people denied rule of aristocratic principles on them.the first warning rang in riyadh which made them consious and prepared themselves for an uprising in their people.so what riyadh started to increase its strength in arab in sectarian manner.he helped saddam hussain in iraq financially for sunni brotherhood.foundation of GCC(gulf countries corporation) in 1981 was also for the same reason.meanshile iran sensed increasing dominace of saudi in middle east,they created a shiia militias based group in lebabnon by name hijbollah and also supported HAMAS group in israel which is against jews caliphate in that region.so this cold war between these two sunni shiia countries was going beneath the world eyes.so when the matter got serious when bush attacked saddam hussain in 2003 ,iran got a chance to expand its presence in iraq and syria.syria mainly sunni dominated which was ruled by a shiia monarch bashar al assad which was a threat to saudi reign.when another ally egypt lost its power in spring revolution of arab in 2011,the insecurity of arab increased.now world is seeing clear sectarian grown rift between iran and saudi arab.they used yaman as a proxy when houthi rebels of sana rebelled against its monarch which was a puppet of saudi arab.the sunni countries with the help of US air bombarded the country to supress the rebels.so when local tribes of syria started their protest for basssad saudi got a chance to increase its sunni dominance.with the help of US it was the biggest exporter of artilleries to rebels which is their main strangth winning allmost 40% of syria and iraq.and now only in north with the help of kurds they have won some terrritory.the local millitry of iraq is not making any difference and to supress isis in iraq ,tehran have come forward to help even sunnis of iraq which do not believe in ideology of ISIS.these reason gave this group enormous power which seems not to restrict in upcoming months untill both country will think beyond their regional intrest and differences.
दिन रात का ये खेला कब तक चलता जाएगा
सांझ की दीवानगी मैं मशगूल,सूरज कब तक ढलता जाएगा
बदलें या ना बदलें दुनिया के दस्तूर
वक़्त का तराजू तो बदलता जाएगा
क्यूँ नहीं खिले गुल उस गुलिस्तान के
गुनेहगार तो भंवरा ही कहलायेगा
दरो दीवार पर उनके अक्स कुछ यूँ मोजूद हैं
दो रोज की बारिश का पानी कैसे उसे मिटाएगा
दिल लग जाया करता था जिस सूरत से अक्सर
उसकी परछाई कोन मुझे दिखलायेगा
घंटो जिन दीवारों से बातें हुआ करती थी
अब इस भीड़ मैं भी दिल कोन बहलायेगा
तू साथ दे या ना दे ऐ हमसफ़र
मेरा कारवा अकेला ही बढता जाएगा
दिन रात का ये खेला कब तक चलता जाएगा………..
After going through my twitter feedback i realized that the box office collection of new movie Bombay velvet is not up to expectations…..Why it happened a movie with full of stars, like ranbeer,anushka,kk menon and many more brilliant actors….raises a question on people who gave their thumbs down to movie.in bollywood there are are very few directors who are desperate to tell indians a different meaning of indian cinema.Cinema plays a vital role in making insight of its people in various field like history,movements ,humanity and its heroes.the time has changed when people used to get their patriotism from books and intentionally written novels.they used to have blind faith in them and just believed what they told by historians.Time has come when indians should understand that real patriotism is in believing the fact they can see or validate.there are lots of movies made on isssues like india pakistan,kashmir ,terrorism etc.Anurag kashyap is a very straight in telling what was the fact in history and briliiantly wrap the whole validated truth in music and screenplay.his sense of understanding indian heroes and patriotism is simply mind blowing.he understand the role of cinema.he plans a movie when he got a very good fact from history and then connect it through current world and shows the real heroic acts of those who sacrificed and lived those moments.he made movie like black friday ,gullal,gangs of wasseypur which redefined new insight of our history and past events.In bombay velvet he choosed mumbai,an island who drastically changed itself in a very short period.bombay pushed the boundary of sea by its desire of expansion.it inherited various leaders legacy and number of tragic past events on its chest from varasova to dadar.bombay nurtered many of indian superstars on its footpath who now rule world by their talent.he chooses a totally unique and powerfull story of an artist callled rosy and her story of survival with her passion.and how she loved a person who transformed her life with his intense love and sacrifice.movie takes you 60 years back mumbai and beautifully present all its historical enigma.the problem with most of indians they think that cinema role is to entertain them and if they find a movie not entertaining they wont go for it.its very tedious for them to spend seeing a brilliant story with that much content they can not handle..i wanted to write many many more thing in appreciation of bombay velvet but then someone can say that i blindly support anurag kashyap and may be a big fan of anushka’s lips but the truth is i want u to understand new role of indian cinema and break the stereotypes for slow movies….so what i will say now is that u must see this movie and experience mumbai history and experience talent of anurag kashyap….
Next time
as you stand before a mirror,
just give yourself
a pleasant smile…sweet and cheesy,
because you may not find a matching one
shortly from others outside.
Your smile to your own self
would definitely be
a pure one, genuine, beaming
and free from any shades
or meanings,
and would beyond doubt,
make your day.
But be careful not to overdo and
get into a laughter
all by yourself.
Or a wrong signal might go out
if someone happens to overhear.
Laughters, you know,
are usually meant to be
shared with others, enjoyed in company,
to the mirth of everyone.
So next time…and every time
you face a mirror,
don’t forget to say
the widest cheese to yourself
and set out on a happy, cool note!

O Nepal…O Kathmandu!
Our heart goes out to you,
and a wordless prayer
escapes our frozen lips,
to put balm on your grievous wounds
sustained by the unimaginable
brunt of the nature’s fury.
The world is too shocked, traumatized!
Your tremours and devastation
have sent up the entire humanity
into deep, debilitating shock
dumbfounded, all hands raised heavenwards
in incoherent prayers,
because the calamity beggars all description.
One moment
you were a glittering jewel,
the cynosure of all eyes ,
bubbling, overflowing with zest of life
and the very next,
all hell was let loose.
One touch…just one touch turned
the glory of the Himalayas into
a Himalaya of rubble, both
of mangled architectural
and human bodies fused together.
The soul having been
squeezed out
of the mortal body
in most gruesome manner.
Left behind are deafening echoes of
heart rending shrieks and wails
threatening to haunt…

ये कैसी कुदरत तूने बनाई मेरे पीर
जुदा किये दिल फिर सरहदें दी चीर
दम घुटता होगा तेरा भी ये उजड़ा जहां देखके
लाशें छोड़ गए हैं थोड़ी यहाँ थोड़ी वहां फैंक के
कैसा इंसानियत का इल्म तूने इनको सिखवाया
हैवानियत का जुल्म इनके सर है भरमाया
थम गयी ठंडी हवा वो पुरानी सूख गया वो मीठा नीर
ये कैसी कुदरत तूने बनाई मेरे पीर
जब सहरा ही मुकम्मल था तो सागर की आस क्यूँ लगाई
मिट्टी मैं ही जब मिलाना था तो मंजिले क्यूं बनायी
रुख तेरे नूर का जो पलटा तो देख क़यामते आ गयी
जिनकी किसी को फिक्र ना थी उनको सारे जहां से सलामते आ गई
नज्र कर ऐ खुदा अब अपनी रहम की तासीर
ये कैसी कुदरत तूने बनाई मेरे पीर………..

नभ गगन मैं यूँ चड़ता एक अकेला आदित्य
जीवन की कल्पना इसके बिना एक मिथ्य…..
सकल संसार मैं बांटता किरणों से जीवन रुपी सुधा
सदियों से इसके तेज का एक अंश भी ना रुधा….
नमन तुझे औ सकल मानवता के रखवाले
अपने आँचल मैं तूने जाने कितने युग पाले….
तेरे अम्बर मैं रहने से , है मानव का औचित्य
नभ गगन मैं यूँ चढ़त़ा एक अकेला आदित्य
