khamoshi...!!!















khamoshi... kaash tu meri mehbooba hoti
to dil ki dhadkan seene mei hi paibast hoti
na tum mujhse kucch kehti, na mai tumse kucch kehta
bus isharon - isharon mei hi zindagi jawaan hoti
na paane ka gumaan hota, na  hi khone ka bharam hota

 milke ke bhi na tumse milta
bicchad ke bhi na tum mujhse bichhadti
kucch aur na sahi, kam se kam
ghame ulfat ka soz bina tumhe dikhaye ya bataye
chand siskiyon  mei hi sahi, akele hi see leta

khudi ke bojh tale daba pada ye aashique
na tumse kabhi milta, aur na hi tum mujhse kabhi milti
bus ankhon-hi-ankhon mei mohabbat hairan hoti
khud se bina chhipaye aur kisi se bina bataye
thoda tum ro leti, thoda mai ro leta
 shayad tum thoda hus leti,  shayad mai  thoda hus leta

jo kabhi na shuru ho saki
wo kahani kabbhi khatam to na hoti
tumse be-wajah, be- sabab baat karne ki uljhan to na hoti
zindagi aur maut ki kashmakash  mei
har lamha, taah-umr meri bojhal saanse
bus tumhari aks ki maujudgi mei hi apni zindagi fanaa karti
kaash... khamoshi.. tu meri mehbooba hoti

so.. You say ...You are in Love..??




There was a boy and he was madly in love with a girl.He was obsessed with her charms but could not communicate his feelings to her, till some point of time he presented himself as a reticent admirer and then one fine day he mustered enough of audacity to walk up to the girl and voice his feelings for her. The girl seemed unmoved and asked him to prove his affection by giving her a red rose : a "red " rose.The boy happily engaged himself in the search for a red rose, but after a long and exhaustive search what he found was utter disappointment since he could not find one .

It was a hot summer day, he sat below a shady tree and kept on lamenting till he was about to burst out into tears. He could not help crying and really cried buckets of water. All this was being observed by a Bulbul (a bird.. that everyone knows..) ; she felt sympathetic towards the lover and told him not to cry . She promised him that she would get him the gift for his love:the RED ROSE. After some search she found a beautifully blossomed rose that it was not RED , it was WHITE suggesting nothing but it's pristine existence. Purposely Bulbul clung herself to the thorny shrub and started singing a love song while she beat her breast against the thorns.Blood kept oozing out and miraculously the flower showed up as red. Bulbul died as she had shed even the last drop of her blood for the sacred cause:LOVE

The boy felt sorry and sighed for the bird and on a desperate and thankful note he plucked the gift of love from the thorny shrub and went straight to his girl and presented her the RED ROSE.The girl gave a sarcastic smile and said " I expected something more valuable, you could have bought me a diamond ring, what would I do with this flower ? ". The boy could not say anything, his heart was broken . He shook his head in despair and threw the RED ROSE in the dust.

Philosophy :mental acrobatics...!!!

a mathematician asks a philosopher "Why are we alive ?"
the philosopher replies " Because one day we all have to die !"

There is always some connotation and indentation subdued in any kind of logical representation such as "language" .Pure logic fails to illuminate such paradigms so much so that in an attempt to make it an exact and objective proposition, renders it uninteresting, and murders the scope of plurality of interpretations.The cognizance of the fact that mathematics is only the means not the end should help us not to fall victim to any kind of complacency attached with the accomplishment of a logical feat .Language (logic)is not sufficient, it's the literature (imagination ) that matters.There are greener pastures ahead and at least in this context it's quite unharmful to be able to suggest to ourselves that grass is always greener on the other side of the fence called "logic". THY NAME IS PHILOSOPHY.


Please help the author resolve the ebullient conflict (if it at all exists...!!) between logic and imagination by choosing the correct option:

a) The author of the above logically illogical lines is a staunch believer of logic. 
b)The author of the above illogically logical lines is a staunch believer of logic. 
 c)The author of the above logically illogical lines is a staunch believer of imagination. 
 d) The author of the above illogically logical lines is a staunch believer of imagination.
 e)The author has made an illogical attempt to establish the celibacy of the idea of logic from an anti perspective by patronizing the beauty of imagination. 
 f) The author has made a logical attempt to establish the celibacy of logic from an anti perspective by patronizing the beauty of imagination.

Hint(if at all the author himself is in a position to be able to suggest one...!): the beauty lies in the overwhelming bafflement with the problem and not in the attainment of the solution . Don't we celebrate Prince Hamlet's soliloquy :"To be or not to be" in William Shakespear's Classic Hamlet ?

IshQ, Dosti, Mohabbat and all that...!!!

"Love" perhaps, happens to be the most complicated of all the emotions mankind has ever known.Whatever I have understood up till now helps me to conjecture that as opposed to popular belief; 'love is selfless', love is something that helps us to become more selfish, adds more meaning to self existence and adds new dimensions to self indulgence and gratification.We continue to live in an age when "Barter system" is still not done away with and is practiced in disguised forms with celebrated names, one such fancy name being "love": a convenient mechanism that aids transactions at subliminal levels which of course helps to grandiose self image and affects ego inflation.The engaged beings make their best efforts to strike the best "deal" not only in the material sense but also in metaphysical terms as well.Those in love would indiscreetly continue to remain as participants in a "giver and recipient" relationship in "anticipation" of reaping the benefits of self glorification when exact and equal worth things are "finally" transacted.

Alas...!!! Human mind gets biased while measuring the worth of the entities or things involved, may be just because of the fear of disengagement with the "deal" itself. This results in a situation of cautious optimism and pleasant confusion which furthers the chances of inception of "nebulous" things in the ongoing transaction elevating the complexity level of judging or evaluating the situation so much so that the well within the reach "thing" becomes a "dream". If the initial investments and stakes are high, then there are chances that the "lovers" would continue to make efforts towards the realization of the thing: " the dream ".

The "hazy" nature of the business makes the task inexact and thus presents it as interesting and so is conceived as more joyful. In due course of time the associated "joy" element supplants the attainment of the "equilibrium" ( the deal: the "dream" ) as a priority and the initial agreed upon terms slowly but surely are forgotten, rendered as obsolete, and new rules of the game are sought after.And with the passage of time it evolves in a complicated fashion leaving one amused. Mathematically "Love" can be construed as a "Stochastic Game" and hence non deterministic and perhaps that's why it is a form of celebrated and cerebrally rewarding
human emotion.
