 A POEM WRITTEN BY A FRIEND IN WASHINGTON.

 सोचती हूँ उन की माताओं से मिलूँ !!!

A touching poem by Dr.Amita Tiwari ,Washington, DC

सोचती हूँ उन नरपशुओं की माताओं से मिलूँ

डा .अमिता तिवारी वासिंगटन  डी . सी .

आज जब दामिनी चली गई है  सब स्तब्ध हैं

नरपशुओं की दरिंदगी से त्रस्त हैं

हर तरफ उनके लिए मौत की मांग है

ऐसे में मेरी भी एक मांग है

कि एक बार मुझे उन नर पशुओं की माताओं से मिलाया जाए

पूछ पाऊँ उनसे की कौन से अँधेरे की औलादें हैं वो

किस किस ज़हर सेपाले हैं वो?

धमनियों में क्या क्या बहता रहा है

कानों में क्या,कौन कहतारहा है ?

दादा, नाना की गोदी भी खेले थे वो

नानी,दादी के सुख-दुःख भी झेले थे वो ?

किसी राखी के धागे भी बांधे थे कभी

रिश्तों को दिए थे काँधे भी कभी ?

भाई के संग कोई रोटी भी बांटी थी

माता कभी क्या उनको भी डांटीथी?

चाची,भाभी,दादी,नानी,बुआ, किसी से कभी था मेल हुआ?

अगर वह सब हुआ, तो यह सब कैसे हो गया

रिश्तों का असर कैसे खो गया

भूल कहाँ,कैसे हो गयी

नर की संतान नराधम हो गयी

आदमी की औलादें और पशुओं को भी पीछे छोड़ दें

एक कोख से निकले कोखी, दूजी कोख झंझोड़ दें

अगर वह सब हुआ, तो यह सब कैसे हो गया

रिश्तों का असर कैसे खो गया

यह सब जानना बहुत ज़रूरी है

बेहदज़रूरी है उन हालातों को समझना

और संजीदगी से खन्खालना

जिसने इन को दरिंदगी सिखाई

हैवानियत की ऐसी पाठशाला पढ़ाई

और अब फांसी लगती ही है तो लग ही जाए

देरी की धुंध में दया न रो जाए

हवालातों पर खूब खूब बात हो

पर हालातों पर भी बात हो ही जाए

ध्रुतराष्ट्र की भी तो आँख खुले

गांधारी की आरोपित पट्टिका भी उतर जाए

मिट जाएँ वो राज्सभायें

जहाँ द्रोपदी की लाज नबच पाए

वो नीति मिट जाए राजनीति मिट जाए

मिट जाएँ वो अंधे क़ानून

वो अँधे सिंहासन भी न बचें

मिट जाएँ वो सिरफिरे जनून

कुछ तोअँधियारा छंटे कुछ तो आये कहीं से प्रकाश

कहीं तो हिले कुछ तो हिले

कहीं तो बने दामिनी को आस

आज जब सब स्तब्ध हैं

नर पशुओं की दरिंदगी से त्रस्त हैं

हर तरफ उनके लिए मौत की मांग है

ऐसे में मेरी भी एक मांग है

कि एक बार मुझे उनकी माताओं से मिलाया जाए

Translation by Sh K S Iyer (M-187)

आज जब दामिनी चली गई है  सब स्तब्ध हैं
नरपशुओं की दरिंदगी से त्रस्त हैं
हर तरफ उनके लिए मौत की मांग है

ऐसे में मेरी भी एक मांग है
कि एक बार मुझे उन नर पशुओं की माताओं से मिलाया जाए

I Think, I meet the Mothers of those male-beasts

Dr. Amita Tiwari Washington D. C.

Today, when Damini has left, all are stunned 
Are troubled by devilish acts of male-beasts
Every where there is demand for their death

I too have a demand
Once allow me to meet the mothers of those male beasts

पूछ पाऊँ उनसे की कौन से अँधेरे की औलादें हैं वो
किस किस ज़हर से पाले हैं वो?
धमनियों में क्या क्या बहता रहा है
कानों में क्या, कौन कहता रहा है ?

Let me ask them of which darkness are these offspring 
reared by which of the poisons are they?
What are flowing through their arteries 
Who have been telling what, in ears?

दादा, नाना की गोदी भी खेले थे वो
नानी,दादी के सुख-दुःख भी झेले थे वो ?
किसी राखी के धागे भी बांधे थे कभी
रिश्तों को दिए थे काँधे भी कभी ?
भाई के संग कोई रोटी भी बांटी थी
माता कभी क्या उनको भी डांटीथी?

had they ever played on the laps of Grandpas, grannies  
experienced happiness-sorrows of Grandpas, grannies?
Ever the thread of rakhi was tied 
Had ever given shoulder to relations?
Ever shared bread with the brother
Mother ever scolded them?

चाची,भाभी,दादी,नानी,बुआ, किसी से कभी था मेल हुआ?
अगर वह सब हुआ, तो यह सब कैसे हो गया
रिश्तों का असर कैसे खो गया
भूल कहाँ, कैसे हो गयी
नर की संतान नराधम हो गयी

Have they met Aunts, sisters-in-law, grannies, ever?
If met them all, then how at all these happened 
How the effect of relationships was lost
Where was the mistake and how it happened that
Male offspring has gone devil

आदमी की औलादें और पशुओं को भी पीछे छोड़ दें
एक कोख से निकले कोखी, दूजी कोख झंझोड़ दें
अगर वह सब हुआ, तो यह सब कैसे हो गया
रिश्तों का असर कैसे खो गया

Human children stooped down even below the animals 
having come from a womb, shattered the other Womb
If all these happened, then how all these happen
How the effects of relations were lost

यह सब जानना बहुत ज़रूरी है
बेहदज़रूरी है उन हालातों को समझना
और संजीदगी से खन्खालना
जिसने इन को दरिंदगी सिखाई
हैवानियत की ऐसी पाठशाला पढ़ाई

to know all these is very important 
essentially necessary to understand the circumstances 
And with all seriousness to find out
who taught such lessons of evil deeds and 
who runs this School for this monstrous studies

और अब फांसी लगती ही है तो लग ही जाए
देरी की धुंध में दया न रो जाए
हवालातों पर खूब खूब बात हो
पर हालातों पर भी बात हो ही जाए

and now if they are sent to gallows let it so happen 
In the mist of delay let not mercy cry 
let more and more talk be there in the prisons 
but there be talk on the situations as well

ध्रुतराष्ट्र की भी तो आँख खुले
गांधारी की आरोपित पट्टिका भी उतर जाए
मिट जाएँ वो राज्सभायें
जहाँ द्रोपदी की लाज नबच पाए

Let the eyes of Dhrutrashtra be opened 
Gandhari removes the accused bandage 
let’s dissolve those assemblies 
where the honour of the Droupadi could be saved वो नीति मिट जाए राजनीति मिट जाए
मिट जाएँ वो अंधे क़ानून
वो अँधे सिंहासन भी न बचें
मिट जाएँ वो सिरफिरे जनून

Let the policy be annulled Politics be removed 
blind laws be thrown away 
the blind throne too may not be there
uncontrolled rage be destroyed!कुछ तो अँधियारा छंटे कुछ तो आये कहीं से प्रकाश
कहीं तो हिले कुछ तो हिले
कहीं तो बने दामिनी को आस
आज जब सब स्तब्ध हैं
नर पशुओं की दरिंदगी से त्रस्त हैं
हर तरफ उनके लिए मौत की मांग है
ऐसे में मेरी भी एक मांग है
कि एक बार मुझे उनकी माताओं से मिलाया जाए

*********************************************************************

ANOTHER INDEPENDENCE DAY!!

Every year we celebrate Independence Day,
With fancy speeches dull, boring and grey,
By netas and leaders who are crooks,
But are never brought to book.

Nehru said that we had tryst with destiny,
What we have is nothing but misery!
Our constitution has become a mockery,
To be discarded in the bin history.

We have a government of coalition,
Creating more and more confusion.
Maoists and Naxalites are on a killing spree,
Which makes the government jittery.

It has no answer for these murders,
Only big talk and shivers.
There are two neighbours hostile,
Keeping our rulers quite immobile.

Hoping time will provide the solution,
Meanwhile the country is going into oblivion.
Many of the country’s achievements,
By the media are made prominent.

But a citizen who exposed corruption,
Was ignominously sent into perdition.
The high profile Commonwealth game,
Has brought scam, swindle and shame.

There are rail accidents galore,
Which cause a momentary furore.
Then hastily pushed under the carpet,
For every one to conveniently to forget.

Our much touted advanced technology,
Cannot match the politicians thuggery.
With huge sums stashed in Swiss banks,
In corruption we are in the top ranks.

Armchair experts forecast fantastic growth rates,
Sadly these turn out to be utter fakes.
As one third of the population lives at poverty level,
The Planning Commission’s estimates are all drivel.
What price our make believe freedom,
When soldiers meet daily martyrdom.
For the Rajya Sabha MLAs votes are for sale,
Clearly democracy is going stale.

Parliament has been turned into a circus,
With the MPs antics creating a ruckus.
The country is fast becoming a banana republic,
As crooked leaders and swindlers have a picnic.

And what is the country’s ultimate fate,
Alas! for doom and disaster it’s a date!!

Mohan Talekar (M-53)




Dard

Asuo ke girne ki ahat nahi hoti.

Dil ke tutane ki awaz nahi hoti.
Agar hota khuda ko ehsaas,
to use dard dene ki aadat nahi hoti

Faslon se jada housala ho buland

to manzil ki aur badh chale kadam.

manzil unhi ko milati hai ,

jinke sapano me jaan hoti hai

pankh se kuchh nahi hota ,

housalo se udaan hoti hai



फासलों से ज्यादा हौसला हो बुलंद
तो मंजिल की ओर बढ़ चले कदम

मंजिल उन्हीं को मिलती है
जिन के सपनों में जान होती है
पंख से कुछ नहीं होता
हौसलों से उड़ान होती है


(Free translation)

No distance is distance for you
if you have got determination
your steps will move automatically
towards your dream destination

They only achieve success
whose dreams are strong
wings alone can not do anything
only your resolution will take you along.

K Balasbramanian (M-34) - Relationships +

K Balasbramanian (M-34) Data, data, every where! An NYT article carried in TOI today (link:http://nyti.ms/1aHHOnT )  exploring the new trend of "health trackers" - or wearables, which throw up tons of data, ostensibly to help us improve our health. I particularly like the British Medical Journal quote:  " [the BMJ] described healthy people as "young asymptomatic, middle-class neurotics continuously monitoring their vital signs while they sleep" -  - what an irony-  this describes healthy people!... ====================== Man has always strived to find the truth, The needle hidden in the haystack. That moment of light, burst of insight, Darkness lit up by sliver of light! Oh God, grant me the wisdom to see, The truth of truths that underlies things! All distractions lead to misery. I need less of things, to know peace! The age of Big Data is on us, Zetabytes of useless things! They invent things to find out stuff, And drown us in data we don’t need! To stay healthy we need to walk, But we have forgotten how to. So the voices on our wrists talk, Presuming to teach us when to move! The tests have a hundred markers, Each can be read thousand times a day. Data fed to us chewed and crunched, To make us worry in every way! Data to feed our neurosis, Enough of it to make us drown. The swimmer needs to skim the surface, Not gasp for breath with his face down! Data, data, everywhere! No time to step back and think! No time to pause, or come up for air, I want to fly; I wonder why I sink? (Dinesh) bala...cbe M34  21/04/15 Faster, Higher, Stronger. Must win. Faster, Higher, Stronger. Must win. The one who comes first is supreme. The rest are losers, aspiring To the places that the winners have reached. The ones who reached, too are convinced That theirs is not the place to be. Some things you run after, recede. Happiness is now, or can never be. We are all one, they always said; Except that now, it means distinct. To celebrate the oneness in me, Now I have to be alone, and different. Each age condemns us in some ways. To aspire, one needs to pay the price. In this age, it is loneliness  That steals the happiness for which we strive. (Dinesh) bala...cbe M34  2 January, 2015 Dissipation I eat with my thoughts elsewhere. When I work I long for home. When at home I'm never there,  Work follows me where I go! When I sit I am not still, Of things undone, there's always guilt. When I move, it's not my will, It's to forces not from within! I am seldom where I am, 'Tis my body on the seat. My mind's always somewhere else, I'm never where I wish to be! I crave for interruption, From phone, or mail, or something else. Being alone is lonesome, The world pulls me with thousand strings! Never with all my senses Do I experience anything. My being is so scattered, I don't know what I'm living! (Dinesh Gopalan) bala...cbe M34  12/03/14 The heart of things When your mind is so full of thoughts How can you listen? Stop judging the world as it flows past Against your "isms". Why should something be 'this' or 'that'? It is what it is. Everything, we like to divide; Light, split through a prism. Make no distinctions, where there're none. If there's good, there's bad. From outward divisions go beyond Where all the noise stops. (Dinesh) bala...cbe M34 17 March, 2014 Poem of the year (Received from friend) The computer swallowed Grandma, Yes, honestly it’s true! She pressed 'control and 'enter' And disappeared from view. It devoured her completely, The thought just makes me squirm. She must have caught a virus Or been eaten by a worm. I've searched through the recycle bin And files of every kind; I've even used the Internet, But nothing did I find. In desperation, I asked Mr. Google My searches to refine. The reply from him was negative, Not a thing was found 'online.' So, if inside your 'Inbox,' My Grandma you should see, Please 'Copy, Scan' and 'Paste' her, And send her back to me. This is a tribute to all the Grandmas & Grandpas, Nannas & Pops, who have been fearless and learned to use the Computer.........They are the greatest!!! We do not stop playing because we grow old; We grow old because we stop playing .. NEVER Be The First To Get Old!

Poem on relationships My friend who is writer wrote this poem By Henrietta D'Cruz I don't know if I know... How to define Relationships. .. Some relationships break you Some help make you Others stifle you A few others mend you Amazing how people can be... Whether foe or friend! If you live alone and you're lost Drip, drop, drown in a world without seams Without anyone to speak to Without references to know your own mind. Rules, laws and how to do's Crazy, restricting some may say But left to oneself to make the rules There is just no fun to play Without someone to play along And share in the game. I can dream a million dreams Climb up and down streams Count stars and travel far But after I've done it all... What's the point if there's no one That I could talk about it to? I can feel a lot of feelings Steal a lot of moments For my memories... Win a great victory But oh the loss! If no one is there to evoke the feelings That share and care And celebrate with me! Some people I love to hate They define what I dislike, Don't believe in Or wouldn't be caught with even in my dreams They draw the lines of what I am not They don't know it But they too play a big part in defining me. The chats, the laughter, the tears... The thinking after when it's all over What would we do without all that? Where would we be without the ups and downs? Just plain ordinary routine days and nights Would drive us crazy... Make us lazy And make us bland. I still don't know what relationships are about... But I do know one thing I have learnt I need them... More than meeting my needs I need them to find myself, Know myself, my boundaries.. . My dreams, my opinions And find my own comfortable world. Knowing what I am and what I'm not What I want and what I can live without What I need and what is luxury Helps me to define me Helps me to dream dreams And become a visionary. I need to look forward to a future... That's why I need relationships Of all shapes, sizes and colours. Hello there! How are you? It's really nice to meet you! bala...cbe M34  21/04/10
