समय कितना बदल जाता है. पीछे के पीपल के पत्ते उन दिनों नये आये थे. बसंती बयार थी. चटक हरे रंग के पत्ते आँखों को बड़ा सुकून देते थे. शाम को पढाई की मेज के पास बैठा अक्सर उन पत्तों को हवा के प्रभाव से आपस में टकराते देखता था. ऐसा लगता था मानो पूरी … Read more
सरफिरापन। पूरी तरह से सरफिरा नहीं। बस थोड़ी सी झलक। आपके अंदर के पागलपन की। आपके मैं-ऐसा-ही-हूँ-पन की नुमाइश। इसको कहेंगे सरफिरापन। आपके द्वारा किए गए कामों में झलकने वाला। इनकी अदायगी में दिखने वाला। ऐसा सरफिरापन। बहुत काम का है ये !
कोई दसियों बरस बाद शहर को क़रीब से देखने निकला। ग़ौर किया तो पाया कि घरों के बरामदे गुम हो चले हैं। और उन बरामदों में दोपहर के वक्त पड़ने वाली वो मझली-सी धूप भी। अब वहां छांव ही छांव है। अंधेरे का आभास न हो, इसके लिए एक छद्म रोशनी कर रखी है। वक्त-बेवक्त … Read more
भीड़ से भरी इस गली में, अनजाने चेहरों के बीच मैं अकेला चला जा रहा हूँ। चेहरे तो हैं, मगर दिख कहाँ रहे हैं? डूबता सूरज ठीक आँखों की सीध में उतर आया है, उसकी तेज़ रोशनी सबको धुंधला कर रही है। रोशनी से जगमगाती विदेशी सड़कें, अजनबी भाषा में गूंजती आवाज़ें… मगर मन कहीं … Read more
और फिर कुछ दिन ऐसे होते हैं, जब आप दुनिया से थोड़ा ऊपर उठना चाहते हैं, किसी ऊंचे स्थान पर जाकर बैठना चाहते हैं, जहां आप वास्तव में दुनिया से उपराम होने का एहसास कर सकते हैं।
लाखों सूर्यास्त देख पाना हम में से किसी के बस की बात नहीं है। एक समय आएगा, जब हम थक चुके होंगे, हार चुके होंगे। हम अलविदा कहना चाहेंगे, इस उसूलवादी प्रकृति को,
Sometimes you want to keep things simple and straightforward. Instead of accelerating progress, complications often impede it.
Life is supposed to be full of work. If possible, you should be engaged with some or the other task. Too much peace of mind may lead you to your comfort zone, which may hinder your progress.
Why does time flow? Why does not it just stop? It is strange to think about a situation in which time has stopped completely. The reason for this is that we are not accustomed to thinking beyond the time frame. But I believe there is something like this.
You sometimes can’t see what’s ahead. And it is not your fault. Does that mean that you are less powerful? Is it not a matter of acceptance? Accepting someone to be your guru? Is it wrong to accept being a disciple of someone who has a capability which you might not have?
It is tough. Tough to make things happen. To manifest what you dream of. But it should be praised if we at least start the journey.
एक अरसे बाद शिखर तक कोई पहुंच पाया है। आज स्वयं शिखर को इस बात पर बड़ा नाज़ हो रहा है। शिखर को अपने होने का आभास ही अब हुआ है। वरना तो यहां ज़िंदगी वीराने में ही कट रही थी। हरियाली तो जैसे यहाँ तक पहुँच ही नहीं पाती है। शिखर अपनी बर्फ़ानी सफ़ेद … Read more

Every now and then, thoughts emerge that leave deep impressions in our minds. Over time, the depth of our minds encourages us to manifest the same thing in the real world.

We live. We die. No body is eternally present. That is how the scene is set. We try to maximize the time we are here. Our survival mechanism enables us to do so. But, do we succeed? To a certain degree. We knowingly or unknowingly eliminate many events that could have led to the end … Read more

It is going to be a long run. A marathon. I always wanted to be straight into that. But life is not that easy. It makes you go through the turns. I won’t say finally I am here. Because, again, life’s not like that.
