aao khusiyan manaye ke naya saal aa raha hain

naye patte phir bichenge
nayi baazi phir lagegi
hukmaran phir jeetenge
aam aadmi phir haarega

khusiyan manao ke naya saal aayega

keematen phir badhengi
zindagi aur sasti hongi
antanki humale aun honge
aur phir sandhiyan banegi

khusiyan manao ke naya saal aayega

recession se haar na mani ho to
job hunt se maan loge
swaine flu ne sulaya nahin hoga to
kal koi naya rog aayega

khusiyan manao ke naya saal aayega

humko kya fark padta hain.....

hum to har shukrawar nai filmen dekhenge
ghar jaate hue kharab raston ko dekh government ko kosenge
har match ki jeet pe sharab peeyenge
har weekend party bhi manayenge

fark to unko bhi nahin padta

jinke ghar mein kuch khana hi na ho...to menhgai kya marengi
kaam tha hi nahin..ab bhi nahin hain..to recession se kya lena unko
har election mein sharad aur paise mil hi jaate hain..
to kaun khoon choos raha hain..kya matlab hian aisi baaton se

unko fark nahin padta hain koi...na humko fark padta hain

aao khusiyan manaye ke naya saal aa raha hain

Petty Issues

Its about time we start thinking...a bit more....

I have said this to myself, I don't know so many times...but then, what am I doing about all this.
Everyday something stupid happens and there are so many followers. Some clergy issues a fatwa somewhere in a small town of UP and people in Maharashtra gets emotional.

Or some politician in Andhra wants a separate state, and he has a million following him..and following it now there are so many other politicians who wants to break their states into smaller states.

Then are there are people who wants sign boards in a particular language and others want to change the names of their cities...

Why don't they ask themselves..is it gonna end all the problems of "their" people and the problem "their" state faces..Will it provide jobs to all the people who speak a particular language? Will changing the names of cities provide shelters to the lakhs of people who stay on the road during drenched monsoon nights and boiling summer afternoons???

If yes then I am with you guys...lets break the nation into cities.....and let each city have its own language and its own currency and may be its own dress code (are you listening leaders??? this is a nice issue)

Where are we going??? Back to the times of RAJWADAS?? When every small state had their own currency and own language?? and what happened then???

Some people from a small nation far away came and ruled us for bloody 200 years...wanna go back there??? (I am sure some people in this nation still believes that this country was doing better during the time of the RAJ..but then cant help it....)

People lets get together..lets use our brains...the country is more important then cities and states and languages and religions...

Lets be Indians first.....that's how others will look at you when you are abroad..they don't look at us as that oh! he is from this state or he speaks that language....

Lets perform on a bigger stage..lets GET BIG...

Ghalib ki haveli se laut kar

ek baar umrao begum ne ghalib se kaha tha
"andar aaiye..ghar to hain..garat shuda hi sahi"

maante to tab bhi the sab ghalib ko..par tab bhi ghar garat shuda hi tha...
aaj 140 saal ke baad bhi ghar gaarat shuda hi hain

haan... maante to aaj bhi utna hi hain sab ghalib ko....

tab dabeer-ul mulk-ka khitab diya tha baadshah salamat ne
aaj wo azeem shayar ki taarif se bhari tasweer ne neeche madamji ka naam hain....restored and maintained by....

aaj ghalib ki haweli se laut ne ke baad..ek ajeeb tajurba hua...
pehli baar laga ke shayad sab jaanta tha wo...

isi liye to usne tab hi keh diya tha

hue marke humjo ruswa, hue kyon na gark-e-dariya......

1st Something

yeh masail-e-tassavvuf..yeh tera bayan ghalib
tughe hum wali samjhte, jo na baadakhaar hota....
