ek khayal ye bhi

Courtsey- Rahul Mishra

जिन्दगी ये किस मोड पे ले आयी है ,

ना मा, बाप, बहन , ना यहा कोई भाई है .

हर लडकी का है Boy Friend, हर लडके ने Girl Friend पायी है ,

चंद दिनो के है ये रिश्ते , फिर वही रुसवायी है .



घर जाना Home Sickness कहलाता है ,

पर Girl Friend से मिलने को टाईम रोज मिल जाता है .

दो दिन से नही पुछा मां की तबीयत का हाल ,

Girl Friend से पल - पल की खबर पायी है,

जिन्दगी ये किस मोड पे ले आयी है …..



कभी खुली हवा मे घुमते थे ,

अब AC की आदत लगायी है .

धुप हमसे सहन नही होती ,

हर कोई देता यही दुहाई है .



मेहनत के काम हम करते नही ,

इसीलिये Gym जाने की नौबत आयी है .

McDonalds, PizaaHut जाने लगे,

दाल- रोटी तो मुश्कील से खायी है .

जिन्दगी ये किस मोड पे ले आयी है …..



Work Relation हमने बडाये ,

पर दोस्तो की संख्या घटायी है .

Professional ने की है तरक्की ,

Social ने मुंह की खायी है.

जिन्दगी ये किस मोड पे ले आयी

haath chute bhi to rishte nahin tuta karte...

... just watched 'Dasvidaniya' which is based upon the basic premise that 'live like this is your last day' but then it is ironical that one makes an attempt to live life at its fullest only when one realizes this is going to be his last day... why? why do we hold grudges? why can't we just forgive and forget? why can't we instead part ways before making things worse leaving behind a scope for a welcome greeting till we meet again? It is our indulgence over the small picture rather than our involvement in a larger vision which makes all the difference... may be I need to learn much more... practice abstinance.

Travelogue: Bidar Fort, Karnataka

Do u mind coming with us for watching 'Transporter 3'?! O.K, I'll pick you up in 15 minutes... was all that I heard... 2115 hrs, I told myself there is no time for cooking, we shall have dinner somewhere... later we reached IMax theater to discover a big group of boys inquiring at the box office about tickets.. as luck would have it we missed the movie.. boys had a bad mood and were wondering what to do next.. someone said 'hands up for ice cream on Necklace road?' and all were ready... I have started believing that water bodies have some great healing power they seem to absorb your negativity and a big scoop of ice-cream induces the much needed positive energy in you.. so it was one gr8 combo!! Cruising past midnight on Necklace road.. cool breeze, silent lake and shimmer on the water surface is just bliss... here our gang just sat there on the lawns next to the lake talking about life and things like terrorism and petty politics and things which are taking its toll on our lives.. when Ani said ... all I need is one long bike ride.. pat came the reply, lets go Bidar.. MP said 0500 Hrs sharp and immediately some one cribbed about the timing ... come on guys its Sunday!! said Sindwani.. it is too early.. after litle ping-ponging upon he issue everyone agreed to 'go'... nevermind, in the morning finally 14 of us were ready for the trip, we started at 0930 hrs from Karkhana road and hit NH9 at Miyapur and we made our first pit stop at Sadashivpet next to a Dhaba. We ordered Aaloo paratha as we can get them fast and were hungry like dog. I muss say the food was good as each one us 'overate'... hehehe.. after a cup of tea we hit the road again with standing order to meet again at Zafirabad to leave NH and move to SH-4. The road stretch from Zafirabad o Bidar owan goes through state borders and is very peaceful to drive through the jungles on both sides... on your we found several cart loads of sugarcane ... those farmers were graceful enough to give us a cane to each one of us... and quite naturally each one of us had a childhood story to share.. I was wondering when was the last time I visited my nanihal, I stopped counting years.. I felt bad.

Upon reaching the town area we were welcomed by a giant sign-board displaying distance and directions for the places of interest in the dusty town. We decided to start from Narsimha Jherni and believe me not once for religious reasons but to explore the cave with chest-high water levels with bats on the roof top it sounded so exciting... after the holy dip into the water we had a good bath at the natural spring in the temple campus.

We then decided to go for Gurudwara famous for its linkages with Guru Nanak Sahib and this time again the primary reason was the 'Langar', I actually could imagine hot-tasty halwa in my mouth... remembering 'Bangla Sahib' at Delhi... Legend has it that the areas has its only sweet water lake thanks to Guru sahib.

'Enuff of pligrimage!!' frowned one said after we had stomach full of food at the 'langar' and we now decided to exploit the photographic opportunity at the fort taking advantage of the sun. But, before we could go there I decided to check out some Bidri craft work, which is special to the area, try googling for the same and you might like it as well.

Here, again the place is very beautiful and really really provides ample of photo opportunities which our paltan consumed to its maximum. We had some great fun here. Some of the excitement is captured here.
