When you go out all by yourself in a public transport bus or train don't you feel connected to people travelling with you ?


When you go to buy sabzi , phal , grocery , or when you go to the bank , or for a walk , or to a restaurant don't you feel connected to people in those places ?


When you are watching a film or a play or a concert in a theater , even if you may not be accompanied by family or friends don't you feel connected to people sitting there with you , as also the performers on the stage ?


Isn't it fascinating to come so close to people you ve never met before and may never meet them again in future ?

And yet you were destined to share those moments in that space with them ... ?


One may often feel awesome typing a Facebook status connecting with people in a world that exists in one's imagination ... or just sitting by the window and clicking selfies with the rain outside in a world that is for real ?


One can choose to ignore these amazing miracles of God 

Or allow ourselves the luxury to be fascinated by them and be grateful to The Almighty ... 


I say Buddy ! Choose the better option 🙂🙂🙂 !!!

Controlling woman in the name of love

 Jisey hum behadd pyaar karne ka daawa kartey haiN ussi ko sab se zyadaa dukh kyoN de detey haiN ... 


Sangam ki Radha ho 

Ya Antony ki Cleopatra 


India ka Kashmir ho 

Ya Israel - Palestine ka Jerusalem 


Maa ke liye Beta 

Biwi ke liye shauhar ... 


And such other examples 

Saari conflict domination and ownership ke liye hoti hai 


Lekin kya mohabbat meiN ownership ki baat hoti hai 


Sochiye ...

Mohabbat kahaaN hai 

Where Love has gone ...

 My husband's Chacha was an educationist , used to be on various advisory / interview committees of govt departments and his determination to work for women's education was amazing


He had set out as a teacher 

Then became the principal and then marched higher up 

Priceless wit , amazing class and a unique way to handle the youth made him an endearing personality 


He was once appointed the Principal of a school that was notorious for a large number of indisciplined rogue element among it's students

He took up the challenge with his characteristic enthusiasm 


After a month or so there was a high level meeting of the board where he was asked about his assessment of the situation 

With his unique sense of humour he remarked :

"Students ko to maiN thiik kar dooNga ... Lekin teachers ke liye Principal ki nahi ... Paighambar ki zaroorat hai !!! "


Kaaaaash ... 

koi Vighnaharta ... 

koi ibn Maryam ...

koi aman ka paighamber ... 

aaj ke daur meiN bhi aa jaaye kahiiN se ... aur ...

iss duniya ko zulm , agyaan , nafratoN aur dard ke aNdheroN se baahar nikaal de ...
