The Blog Shall Set You Free

Guest Post Na Jaane Kyun...?

Raah-e-dahar pe masarrat dhoondhte ho, mazhab dhoondhte ho...

Hasraton ke qafas mein na jaane kyun aaj bhi tum humdard dhoondhte ho?

Fasaana-e-shab-e-gham hai peeche; Zulmat hai aage...

Aisi fizaaon mein bhi na jaane kyun aaj bhi tum saher dhoondhte ho?

Manzilein khud bana kar bhi to raahon mein gum-raah ho jaate ho...

Haram ki raah par phir kabhi kyun nahin chalte ho?

Gam-e-hayaat ki bekasi mein jab itne tanhaa reh jaate ho,

Tab kabhi jazbaa-e-imaan ki rehguzar par na jaane kyun nahin chalte ho?

TRANSLATION:

On the path of life,you look for happiness, you look for your fate/destiny...

I don't know why you look for sympathizers even in the prison of regrets/intense sorrow?

The story of a night of sorrows lies behind you, darkness lies before you...

I don't know why you are in the pursuit of the morning even in such an environment?

Even after creating the destinations yourself, you get lost in the paths you created...

I don't know why then do you not travel on the path of God's House?

When you are helplessly stricken with life's grief into the realm of lonliness

Why then don't you ever travel on the path of abiding faith?

The above poem is by a very special and super talented friend of mine~ Anukriti Sharma. A multilingual who speaks: English, Hindi, Gujarati, Bihari, Bengali, Urdu, Marathi!! A person of many talents she's an avid photographer, painter, writer and sketches masterpieces.

If We Were Birds

parv_kaushik@yahoo.com (Parv Kaushik) — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 19:38:00 +0000

If we were birds

With a small little nest

We wouldn't be much troubled

If we were birds

It wouldn't be hyperbole

It would be perfect to say the least

Our own little nest of love

Filled with ample care and peace

Would dwarf the mighty human mansions

We, with no possessions

And no twitter updates for others

We, for us, would be more than enough

You’d chatter all day

And I’d pretend to listen

No newspaper to read

No Facebook to check

Who knows?

Maybe I’d really listen!

Guest Post... तूफ़ान से नहीं घबराते हैं

parv_kaushik@yahoo.com (Parv Kaushik) — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 05:29:00 +0000

तूफ़ान से नहीं घबराते हैं

मुश्किल मैं निखर जाते हैं

हम तो वो आंधी हैं जो

पर्वत से गति पाते हैं

ना जलते हैं अंगारों से

ना रुकते हैं दीवारों से

जब आ जाएँ अपनी पर तो

गर्दिश मैं जीत के आते हैं

साथी की नहीं हमें अभिलाषा

ना रखते दुनिया से आशा

जब चलते हैं मंजिल के लिए

तो साए ही साथ निभाते हैं

लिख दें खुद किस्मत की रेखा

कल का सूरज किसने देखा

हम ऐसे आतिश हैं जो

अंधेरों से रौशनी पाते हैं

The above poem is by the very talented wanderlust Priyanka Telang.Visit her blog here.

Happy Memories In Abyss Of Mind

parv_kaushik@yahoo.com (Parv Kaushik) — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 09:18:00 +0000

in the above pic (from left): Nitish, Saumitra, Gautam.

Mind works in strange ways

Happy memories fade away

But the sad ones remain

Like dark clouds without rain

I was sitting with happy mind

Came happy memories from hind

I remembered how some friends

Had fought with me like comrades

Once my honour was at stake

Tears were near & happiness away

My days were full of much miseries

Mammoth enemies planned audacities

Tears brimmed in my eyes

How my friends risked their lives

Also honour and social stature

Everything on the edge for rupture

They held hands & stood by my side

Such fierce loyalty & unwavering love

Humbled I stood with infinite strength

How such memories fall in abyss of mind!

The East India Company Vs. India

parv_kaushik@yahoo.com (Parv Kaushik) — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 20:06:00 +0000

I was there playing with butterflies

You came for me with guns and knives

I played with flowers, I played with bees

With a gun you said 'I wont let you be'

I smiled at you and gave you a hug

You pushed me aside & called me stupid fuck

I plucked a flower and lovingly gave it to you

Innocent Oblivion, What were you looking for?

'Power', you yelled 'I need your head to bow.'

Sit on your knees and give me respect

'Better die on foot than live on knees' I said

'Death before Dishonour', I stood with straight head

You said you had everyone on your side

That I'd rot alone with no shoulder to cry

Truth doesn't need yes-sayers it stands alone

'the truth shall set you free?' you laughed sore

With a sick propaganda you spread your lies

A gifted speech to impress the gullible minds

I stood with faith in my heart & I sighed

Deep inside me an inner strength replied.

It was the power of truth power of karma

Invisible yet invincible intangible yet intuitive

Great Power rose through whole body

For any force of the world I was ready

Your face froze, ground slipped beneath feet

Where are your lies? Where's your herd of sheep?

The Truth did set me free

Now, say can I play again with butterflies please?

*it's the feelings of 'India' when the east india company came to rule and enslave it.

The One: Nicolas Sarkozy

parv_kaushik@yahoo.com (Parv Kaushik) — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 19:46:00 +0000

The One in the world of dwarf politicians

Who dwarf among them stands tall 1

The One who chose to follow his heart

And married the one he loved 2

The One who gave France a new identity 3

And gave Europe a new dignity 4

The One bold enough to embrace Socialism 5

And to speak against US-China polarism 6

The One who stood up against China

And honoured the saint Dalai Lama 7

The One who embraced Secularism 8

And acted against Islamic ghettoism 9

The One leader of the New World Order

And messiah of the poor masses. 10

If You Are Rich I'm Single!

parv_kaushik@yahoo.com (Parv Kaushik) — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 19:26:00 +0000

I was checking this girl for a while

She used to pass and give me smile

I dreamed of making her mine

And one day proposed her in no time

She asked if her expenses i could afford

I smiled faintly and replied 'No'

'Don't waste my time please Go'

I had another girl in my mind

On whom I had laid on my sight

She'll love me she's so sweet & kind

To propose her next would be right

She asked me what car I drive

I said I was planning for a Nano

'Don't waste my time please Go'

Optimist me, I chose to re-attempt

A girl whose generosity knew no ends

She asked if I could gift diamond rings?

I said 'Your imagination has wings'

Can you take me daily to disco?

What happens there I don't even know

'Don't waste my time please Go'

Eight Blood Siblings

parv_kaushik@yahoo.com (Parv Kaushik) — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 18:01:00 +0000

Just 13 Billion years ago

Our Milky Way was born

And 4.6 Billion years ago

Hydrogen & Helium condensed

With some solid dust particles

Molecular cloud condensed in itself

And our very own Sun took birth

Eight planets were hence formed

Trapped in orbits by gravity

Eight blood siblings tied by fate

If any of the eight siblings is moved

Our Solar System will falter

Such gravitational forces are at play

When our earth spins, it wobbles

Moon's gravity damps that yet

It moves away 3.8 cm/yr from us

Even the sun will die one day

6 Billion years from today

Our neighboring galaxy Andromeda

And 280 alien Solar Systems

Have been found out by us

May be we have friends on one

Universe' mysteries are ad infinitum.

What Did I Do To Lose You?

parv_kaushik@yahoo.com (Parv Kaushik) — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 17:05:00 +0000

You left me standing here

A long long time ago

My head was heavy as lead

That day my heart felt strange

You were acting weird lately

Not calling with new excuses

Not meeting for new reasons

My days became twisted

Deep inside I knew I was losing

Losing you from myself

But what could I do but watch?

I made you smile and laugh

As much as I could do

I loved you, Oh! I loved you

In all the ways I knew

Then My wait was over

'It's over' you said 'forever'

Without any hesitation

Can't believe it was easy for you

Wondered what I went through?

I stab myself everyday

With questions I have no answer to

So today I confront you

'What did I do to lose you?'

Tears In Her Eyes -2.

parv_kaushik@yahoo.com (Parv Kaushik) — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 17:11:00 +0000

Oh what an evening it was that day

You came to me with sad eyes and frown

Sat brimming with tears and apathy

Ready to flow like rain to shed pain

I asked you laden with guilt and fear

If i were the reason of your sadness

I metally rewinded our day's talk

And of yesterday's and day before

Like a policeman looking for clue

Thinking hard if someone said stuff

Standing there at the bus stop's line

Then you shed tears with long sobs

Passersby glared at me hard and long

Like i made you a pregnant (oh no!)

And now look me your cruel boyfriend

Wont accept you with a baby inside

And leave you at mercy of the world

Oh God! I just wish girls knew

Never to cry in public with a guy

When he's never mustered the courage

To even hold your hands, but now

Fights the worlds gaze like a sinner

I took you side, made your crying quite

(Phew! spares the icy cold stares now)

With a real grave impression i asked

What was that made you publicly cry

You said how the parents were unfair

Like a melancholic saga i heard you

Why they hardly appreciate your acts?

Unfair their judgements for siblings

Thank God i wasn't reason for tears :)

I lost you and there a came a hot girl

Some chick with look, what an attitude!

I smiled at her and so did she faintly ;)

Didn't remember you were there watching

You fumed & slapped me so hard it hurt

Walking away angrily hurling abuses :(

(Shit the glares will me back again )

When i recovered from the slap shock

A crowd like hounds surrounded me

Thought it was time for dignified exit

But they wont allow me that for sure

They kicked me and boxed me hard

Like i was a punching bag at their gym

They did all kind of their stunts with me

These Indian men are so good at beating

Even from the hot chick came no rescue

Now i lay with bandages all over, broken.

p.s if you are not angry now please come and see me. I'm in Kailash Hospital Room No.132 and please don't cry again this time.

5 Websites To Visit Before You Die!

parv_kaushik@yahoo.com (Parv Kaushik) — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 11:58:00 +0000

Ladies And Gentlemen. Buckle up your seat belts, sit back because these websites are sure to throw you away in an all together new world with full throttle. May be you have visited a few of these ones or maybe not. May be you'll find them an utter waste of your time but they do deserve your attention. Have a look at them and spend time on it, I promise you the experience won't be regretful.

So here they are in no particular order the 5 websites you should visit:

1. The Zeitgeist Movement

All my adult life, i have been wondering about the Utopian society. Just, fair and equal to all. Which of the present structures are most suited for humanity? Capitalism, Communism, Socialism etc. How to integrate the differences existing in the society and give each human being a right to live his life with honour, dignity and freedom. As they say the problem is not solved on the same level it is created i found it here. This movement answered all my question and now i know the real workings of Corporates, World Bank, Bank and Financial Institutions, Religion, and above all the concept of money.

This will open your eyes to a world which is all around you but one you never saw.

2.Deviant Art

This is creative people's heaven. An artists' goldmine and a treasure of masterpieces. It's that place on the internet where if you log in you'll realize that the world is full of creative and talented souls. The creativity of whom knows no boundaries and whose eyes see but beauty everywhere. I visit this site daily and yes i get lost. I lose the tracks of time. I wish i were transported through some miracle into their beautiful company or gain their expertise.

3.Lotus Tarot

Okie Dokie this is a cheeky one but not one to be missed. I'm not much into crystal ball grazing but here it is zen tarot cards laid out for you! These tarot card reading are not phony i can assure you that. There are no spam ads nor are they killing you try their paid services. Take this when when you want to clear the haze and know what's going with you, against you and what's in store for you in the near future. I wish it could also predict questions for my engineering exams. Damn!

4.Hinduism

Here it is your guide to the oldest civilization in the world which has survived with unbroken chain. No fancy graphics no confusing site map. It is as simple as it can be. If you really want to know about Sanatana Dharma this is your one stop Wikipedia presented in a logical manner. A website for people looking for some serious material and about Hindu texts.

5. Greenpeace India

Through this website I came to know how our "trusted" companies like TATA and Nestle are fooling us and taking advantage of government's laxity. You should get registered at their website and know that these people are not screaming climate lunatics but rare and genuine people who are fighting for our rights and our planets. The causes we wont be interested to waste our 2 mins of precious time these people are going to jail for it. Risking their entire lives for you. They deserve your support.

My Last Sonnet For You.

parv_kaushik@yahoo.com (Parv Kaushik) — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 13:26:00 +0000

To My Dear Husband,

Whom I always trusted.

Now that I see your ugliness

What claims will you make of your beauty?

Now that I see your reality

What mask will you wear to fool me?

Now that I know who you are

What about your delusions of grandeur?

Now that I see your lies

What truth will you boast of now?

Now that I see your fallacy

What stories of peaks will you share now?

Now that I see your infidelity

What morals will you uphold before me?

Now that I see you through

Would you still claim to be true?

Regards,

Your faithful aka foolish Wife.

p.s. Aniruddh and Kanchan came today.

An Year Ago On This Day.

parv_kaushik@yahoo.com (Parv Kaushik) — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 11:50:00 +0000

An year ago we were here

And it was here you told me

You told me you love me

I thought I heard it wrong

I thought I would never hear

The sweet words you said that day

I thought it would never come

A day to take my breath away

And yet fortune smiled on me

Such a day did came, an year ago

On this exact day in September

The words of that day refuse to fade

Still echoes their sound in my ears

Still that feeling lives beneath my skin

Still lives that memory for eternity

That one moment crystallised

And I was never to be the same again

My life took on a different course

My destiny took a beautiful turn

My fate could serve me no better

That wind I remember touching

Said something to me secretly

I'll tell you now what it said to me

"Didn't I tell you she loves you Idiot"

Zephyr whispered slowly in my ears!

The Girl With Polio

parv_kaushik@yahoo.com (Parv Kaushik) — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 15:16:00 +0000

I see this girl in my college everyday

She's the one with polio and a walker tray

Each small step for her is a long journey

How slowly she passes corridor you must see

Still no hint of self-pity or apathy on face

Just some innocence and smiling grace

I look at her and wonder how she feel

People swiftly passing her so mobile

Jumping, running and brisk walking

But then she always has one friend

With whom all her time is spend

I pass through corridor and see the duo

Side by side at all times, in no hurry to go

The friend i swear is smart and beautiful

But I look at her, she's so simple and lovely

Like a guardian angel always with her only

They share a bond so deep it can only be felt

I feel it everytime I see them together and melt

She has all the patience to walk slowly, I dwell!

I kept observing and looking for them everyday

I noticed how the Polio girl smiled for her friend

A smile so true it gets beneath your skin for good

A smile so true in a world of fake ones is a sunshine

Her friend could have been making many friends

Running and howling in the corridors and fields

For some reasons angelic she acted as her shield!

I see them and mentally bless them both

I feel like an elder witnessing two nice souls

So much love i see, Oh God! bless me

I intent daily to go and talk to them

May be smile as I pass and say Hi!

Tell the polio girl it's OK and I care

And then turn around to her friend

Tell her I notice and see her everyday

Due to you I know what's 'Good Karma'!

What Am I Reading?

parv_kaushik@yahoo.com (Parv Kaushik) — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 12:40:00 +0000

The past few days have been intellectually stimulating for me. Well they better be I finished reading 5 books. It makes me so happy to read. I am not a voracious reader but still I read to the limit i can push myself to read! It isn't as bad as it is. Here Are the 5 books which i have finished reading recently. They are:

1.Go Kiss The World

~Subroto Bagchi

Well sure some time has passed since finishing this one. Subroto Bagchi is one of the co-founders of MindTree. I had read many of his articles in many magazines and i was impressed to say the least. I had very high expectations which I admit the book didn't lived up to. I was keen to read on Bagchi's parents and his upbringing on which the articles were about. That part about the book about the parents was no doubt interesting but it is the details that get onto you.

It is a book for entrepreneurs and people in the corporate sector. The book has more of Bagchi's professional life and all the assignments which gets sketchy.

2.Angels And Demons

~Dan Brown

OK don't gape at me with full eyes but yes I'm pretty late at this one but finally i finish this never-ending one. I'm slow at Dan Brown i have noticed something makes me go slow at his novels and the thickness of them makes me go s.....l.....o.....w.....e.....r too!! But this was a nice one. I saw the movie right after I finished the book!

3.The Curious Case Of Dog In The Night Time

~Mark Haddon

I am in love with this one. The lead character Christopher Boone is an autistic kid and studies in a special school. He goes about to investigate the murder of his neighbour's dog 'Wellington'. But more important than the story is the way in which it is told. The chapters are numbered with prime numbers. Christopher who is gifted in mathematics and has special liking for prime numbers says:

"Prime numbers are what is left when you have taken all the patterns away. I think prime numbers are like life. They are very logical but you could never work out the rules, even if you spent all your time thinking about them."

and here's another one:

"I think people believe in heaven because they don't like the idea of dying, because they want to carry on living and they don't like the idea that other people will move into their house and put their things into the rubbish."

4.My Friend Sancho

~Amit Varma

I was dying to read this one. After all the rave reviews I read everywhere this was on my top list and thankfully i finally did it. I read this one in just two sittings interrupted by nothing but sleep and believe me it was unputdownable. The author Amit Varma is a blogger and a journalist and has used his book amply to promote his blog. The book in itself is full of humorous quotes and witty remarks which will make you laugh more than a dozen times and let me tell you if you've been thinking that this is a love story novel you need to read it to get your misconceptions removed.

5.The White Tiger

~Arvind Adiga

This one is very close to my heart for two reasons. ONE- The way Delhi has been described here makes it lovable to me. Especially when he tells about the book-seller in the PVR Saket market it almost gave me goosebumps. I was totally in awe of the book. He has shown the India in a way that i myself see India. The poor have been rotting in the Darkness while rich people are making a killing by living in the Light. This one is a well researched book and the way in which he describes the Bharat from which we are unaware of just gives you goosebumps. A very fine read indeed.

Hope you don't mind the randomness and lack of thought in the post!!

I The Prime Minister

parv_kaushik@yahoo.com (Parv Kaushik) — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 18:19:00 +0000

Weakest Art Thou, Weakest Art Thou.

They shrieked in a shrill & loud voice

They named me names & played me games

Alas, The country tormented 'em to shame!

They said I made the country fragile & weak

They told me I was a pseudo-secular freak

I have toiled & laboured for this country

For which people have awarded us generously!

I was the one behind the Nuclear deal

I had many NDA wounds to heal

I who once studied under street light

I now the PM of this country twice!

I was at receiving end- left or right

But now look at me as I history rewrite

The country's under my vision and foresight

I came as a soldier now I'm a shining Knight!

Sonia G Rahul G have confidence and trust

For I have a clear heart ain't no Power's lust

I have a clean respectful image and honest smile

Never after Nehru India had a PM so refined!

this is a fictional account of our PM's feelings of how he would have felt after the election results were out. the image present here is that of a purely egoist person. i have present him through a prism where it's his soliloquy.

Here are some of the useful links you may visit and find worthy of your time:

1.sm's blog on politics and fashion and everything in between. A comprehensive and very informative blog for a layman:

From Politics To Fashion

2.This is Nikita's blog which had a beautiful poem "The Doll" a very touching and moving poem indeed, do read it:

The Doll

3.Anil Sawan has a popular blog "colors" containing some very interesting write-ups, i liked the latest one written on his blog:

love,tears & smile

"Kaushik ek din teri achchai tjhe le doobegi"

parv_kaushik@yahoo.com (Parv Kaushik) — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 15:34:00 +0000

"Kaushik one day your goodness will drown you"

-A very wise man who knows me and is known by the name of Gautam Dhameja.

WARNING: The following post contains convoluted self-analysis.. it is a cruel dissection with no rona-gaana about wicked fate and evil people. You may waste your time reading this as i am wasting time writing it! ;) okkk that last line i was just kidding!

As I rushed to meet my friend Gautam in Noida for a urgent crisis for which the clock was ticking faster than Bolt runs his sprints. I tried to be a good samartian and helped a passer-by in which as usual i made a fool of myself. (don't investigate further details its my blog and i ain't gonna tell :) )

I narrated the incident to Dhameja and he offered me the golden words of wisdom-

"Kaushik ek din teri achchai tjhe le doobegi"

Then a thought process complicated than a chain reaction and more explosive than the anti-matter ( just finished Angels and Demons) started in my head. It's proven beyond doubt that the "seedha-saadha" Parv Kaushik has always suffered in the face of "tez-tarrar" people. People often tend to confuse kindness with weakness ( yes i stole it from Swordfish when John Travolta says it to Hugh Jackman)

The seedha-saadha aadmi (SSA- THE SPECIES I CONSIDER I BELONG TO) is almost extinct now. It does not even figures in the endangered species list. Probably SSA is going to be in the next issue of 'Lost Species Of 21st century'. The characteristics of the SSA species are as follows:

1. These species carry a malfunctioning hereditary DNA of imaandaari "honesty" in them.

2. They are genuinely nice to everybody and fail to prioritize their behaviour in relation to the returns expected from other members of other species. (I call it 'selective affability')

3. These species as predicted by Gautam Buddha speak the truth and live the condemned life. They walk on the path of the truth and pay for it- Buddha.

4.They can easily be trapped and fooled once you present a rosy picture and behave nicely. SSA's are easily trusting hence the annihilation of the species.

5. Docile species rarely reacts even when it sees it is being harmed. People often see it as SSA's foolishness. ( which I'm afraid we are - foolish)

6.Will always fail in business bcuz thy will be too shy to ask for their own money.

etc. etc. etc.

Since I'm currently reading "The Curious Case Of Dog In The Night-time" by Mark Haddon let me analyse my kryptonite (seedhapan) the way the lead character Christopher would. Let me like Kaavya Vishwanathan's Opel Mehta chalk out steps to end my kryptonite and enter into the skin of normal human species to survive.....

WAIT.. WAIT.. WAIT..

DO I REALLY WANT TO?

Let me get this straight. I touch my heart and i ask myself... If I want to change? Can i change? I think the world is full of smart and over-smart people. It's OK being a fool. It's OK to trust people even when you know they don't deserve it. Trusting is important, people are not. A clean heart and a clean conscience is all i have and perhaps all i need. I look around at the insanity around me lifestyle addiction, politics, jealously, hatred, anger. I'm happy being a kid in adults world.

Yes I'm an SSA but yes i can say with my held held high that there ain't no person whom i cannot look into the eyes. Believe me I can. I did commit mistakes i did disappoint people but in my heart i know I'm pure. Let me suffer it's OK but somewhere deep down inside i know when Dhameja sleeps tonight he'll know they are still nice people around. There are people ain't mad after money, sex, power, fame.

I don't know how many would have left before reading and comprehending any of this stuff. At last i don't think i can change. Its a handicap may be. But if you ask my heart I'll happily renounce the material world for a clear conscience before i die if that's the price for it. May be I'll survive in this jungle may be i wont but i want to sleep tonight peacefully.

I Need A Miracle

parv_kaushik@yahoo.com (Parv Kaushik) — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 19:18:00 +0000

My face covered with sweat

I'm so dizzy

The Heat by all accounts

Is not funny

A clean sky haunts my eye

Some obscure farmer ends his life

Sun has no mercy for the meek

Even the strong admit total defeat

I cry to rain God for some relief

This drought sends more grief

A dal for 100 rs. per kg

Judgement day i can foresee

For sin aplenty we are punished

Our coffins getting burnished

I wail.. I scream.. I cry aloud..

The government before God has bowed

They sit with their faces proud

High up in power corridors on clouds

How many will sleep hungry tonight,

And how many will party overnight?

I need an answer I need a miracle

Jokes Rain God's playing isn't satirical

When idiots sit in authority of humanity

When vanity overpowers their sanity

Will they help that obscure dead farmer,

Or will they keep dancing to wealthy charmers?

Big politicians feed us their daily lies

Will they ever care to hear our cries?

I need an answer I need a miracle

I need someone to answer my prayers.

Guest Post... बढती महंगाई By Priyanka Telang

जाने क्या एक दिन हमारे मन मैं आई

कि दिल ने हास्य कविता लिखने की इच्छा जताई

सोचा की किस विषय को आधार बनायें

तो याद आई देश की बढती महंगाई

लिखने के लिए कलम उठाया

तो उस पर पारकर लिखा पाया

सोचा इसकी स्याही व्यर्थ नहीं गँवायेंगे

हम साधारण पेंसिल से ही काम चलाएंगे

लिखने को पन्ने उठाये

तो मेरे भाई बहन दोनों चिल्लाये

दीदी यह क्या करती हो A4 sheet कंप्यूटर

के लिए है इसे क्यूँ ख़राब करती हो

मैं बोली एक अदद पन्ने से तुम्हारा क्या जाएगा

इस बहाने मेरे विचारों को आधार तो मिल जाएगा

पलट के जवाब आया विचारों के पैसे थोड़े ही लगते हैं

पर यह पन्ने महंगे हैं मुफ्त मैं नहीं मिलते हैं

मैं थोडा जुन्झ्लाई ,मगर फिर मुस्कुराई

एक पद ही लिखा था की मुझे प्यास लग आई

मैं गयी रसोई को और लौट के आई

देखा की पिताश्री कक्ष मैं पधारे हैं

और मेरे लिखे पन्ने पे मां से हिसाब लिखवा रहे हैं

अब मेरी सहन शक्ति का बाँध टूट गया

लिखने चली थी हास्य कविता और रोना छूट गया

मन मैं ठाना की अब कभी

हास्य कविता के लिए कलम नहीं उठाऊंगी

मां बोली तू दुखी क्यूँ होती है

तेरा विवाह हास्य कवी से ही करवाऊंगी

BIG CITY LIFE

parv_kaushik@yahoo.com (Parv Kaushik) — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 12:01:00 +0000

I wake up to screaming alarm clocks

Half sleep and haunting dead-lines

With a cold heart and rushing mind

Fighting for my own brief limelight

Bearing the traffic and the crowds

Jostling to fight every single frown

Sore heart, false ego and attitude

I'm an Urban Monk with no gratitude

Filled to core with materialistic greed

Depressed, angry, overfed and obese

A ritzy condo in the concrete jungle

Everyone except me in city is fungal

Lonely heart calls for care and attention

I want some respect and little recognition.

This city is after all a wild, deadly jungle

With the meek preys and hunters mural

A smile can get me maim and paralysed

Beside me, in which soul can I confide?

This big city life I'm trying to get by

Pressurised in a cubicle cabin I quietly sigh.

Tears In Her Eyes

parv_kaushik@yahoo.com (Parv Kaushik) — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 06:09:00 +0000

In my own idiotic stupidness

In my overflowing ego

I rebuked her in a cafe

The love of my life, I rebuked her

I rebuked the only one who cared for me

I, in my false pretense of attitude

Looked the other way for some while

No response from her irritated me

I glimpsed again at her angrily

Her head held down by million thoughts

A droplet had accumulated in her eyelid

The droplet swelled into a drop

And when it could no longer contain itself

The tear flowed from my beloveds eyes

It rolled down her cheek

My heart seized and nearly missed a beat

I made her frown, I made her cry

My false ego crashed without a sigh

A pain in my chest I could not deny

Regret loaded my mind with lead

She looked at me with angry eyes

Sweet anger turned into angry smile

Soon a gale of laughter filled the place

She blamed me yet she embraced!

An Ode To Advani

parv_kaushik@yahoo.com (Parv Kaushik) — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 07:34:00 +0000

Thou defeated demoralised Army

Thy angry rebel demotivated generals

A cult like personality defuctant website

A final assault for the top job in sight

Samurai armed with e-weapons fight

'Weakest Art Thou', you shouted aloud

Savarkar's Hindutva found a father in crowd

Afzal Guru, Swiss Black money, ladli laxmi yojna

Telangana, Gorakhland, IT Vision all for Bharat Maa

Babri demon raised it's head

2004 debacle issue wasn't dead

Jaitley, Shourie, Modi and Swaraj

Capable of overthrowing Congressi Raj

16 May the destiny unfolded

Thou's weakest was now the strongest

G family coronated the crown again

Another son G checkmated the game

Tears ebbed in your lonely eyes

Chest thumpers gave mocking smiles

Media triumphant with it's white lies

24x7 stories of Saffron Party debacle

Showing like the party is about to die

Your enemies stand erect

Masses ignorant of enemy's vice

Bharat Maa stands exposed

No Advani at helm to call it's own

Wake up Advani do not rest

Keep the fire burning in your chest

Start anew, Start afresh

Let critics scream, let 'em lash

Keep walking don't let dreams crash

Keep walking do not rest.

How can anyone NOT fall in love with you?

parv_kaushik@yahoo.com (Parv Kaushik) — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 07:47:00 +0000

Never did it occur to me

It was so clear yet i couldn't see

How can anyone NOT fall in love

with you

You, are as quiet, as popular as

the moon

A sweet laughter and a pleasant

smile

Makes the world still for a while

Everyday the sun comes up to

see a miracle

The desire to catch your glimpse

is insatiable

The breeze is one i feel jealous of

It blows and touches all of you

The moon is another one to fall

(for you)

He beholds you all night long

The flowers pile over one another

in the garden

Those who fail to charm you - sadden!

They all smile and celebrate

Our meeting is cosmic union to vindicate!
