Narayanan in fact accused Pakistan of complicity in the blasts.

वरुण कहां गलत ?

भाई साहब, अगर कोई किसी के मां बहन पे उंगली उठाए या गाली दे क्या उसे चुप रहना चाहिए, क्या बढ़ती जनसंख्या को रोकने के लिए लिए अगर संजय गांधी ने कुछ सख्त कदम उठाए को क्या गलत किया। बात अगर आपको याद हो तो ये वही समय था जब अराजकता को मुंहतोड़ जवाब देते हुए संजय का प्रताप सिर चढ़ कर बोल रहा था। सभी गाड़ियां समय पर थीं। जनसंख्या विस्फोट रोकने के लिए से कई कदम उठाए गए। पर संजय की मुहिम सफलता को कोई भी प्लान भी ना सका। जहां तक गुंडई की बात है तो आप ही बताएं जब एमर्जेंसी लगी थी और सभी पार्टियां जब जयनारायण के झंडे के अंदर आ कर हर जगह अराजकता फैला रखी थी। याद करें वो समय जब जीटी रोड को बनने में सिर्फ चंद महीने लगे थे। कहीं भी चोरी चमारी नहीं होती थी। उन्हीं के भाई राजीव जी ने भी माना था अगर सरकार १०० रुपए सैंक्शन करती है तो आम आदमी के पास सिर्फ १ रुपए ही पहुंचता है। इस सब बातों को अगर देखा जाए उस काल समय में शायद ही कोई घोटाले का केस सामने आया हो। हर पैसा आम लोगों तक पहुंचता था। तो अगर वरुण के अंदर भी वही जीन है तो वो तो सांप्रदायिक कहां से हो गए। अगर वो हिंदू अधिकार की बात करते हैं तो वो सांप्रदायिक कहां से हो गए। याद करें तो विकास के इस दौड़ में अगर में १३ दिन, १३ महीने और ५ साल की बीजेपी सरकार ना होती तो शायद हम आज भी विकास में कहीं पीछे रहते। शायद आपको पता हो कि मध्यप्रदेश, छत्तीसगढ़ में और यहां तक सभी पिछड़े इलाकों में आज भी कांग्रेस राजीव इंदिरा के नाम पर वोट मांगते हैं। वहां के लोगों को तो पता ही नहीं कि इंदिरा और राजीव अब दुनिया में हैं ही नहीं। हमारे पास के संसदीय क्षेत्र चंदौली की अगर बात करें तो वहां के ब्राह्मण समाज के लोग यहां तक कहते हैं कि अगर कोई ब्राह्मण है तो वो कांग्रेस को ही वोट दे नहीं तो वो अपने बाप का औलाद ही नहीं।
अब कहां साहब जी अगर पत्रकार बंधु इन सब बातों को रिकॉर्ड कर सकें और चैनल प्रिंट पत्रकारिता के पटल पर ला सकें तो मानें। वरना एक पार्टी को सांप्रदायिक कहना कहां की समझदारी है। अगर दम हो तो बेनकाब करें और दिखाएं कि कैसे कि जाति विशेष के साथ वोट की राजनीति करती है। कैसे बसपा वोट की राजनीति करती है। कैसे कांग्रेस तुष्टिकरण की राजनीति करती है। क्या है गांधी का वंश और कैसे हैं गांधी के असली वंशज हाशिए पर जब गांधी का इतना ही ख्याल है तो जब गांधी की नीलामी हो रही थी तो कहां थे ये तथाकथित गांधी के वंशज। हो सकता है कि थोड़ा कड़ा हूं पर झमा प्रार्थी भी हूं कि अगर कुछ शब्द अगर मैने कड़े इस्तमाल किए हो।

याद रहे कि याद ना आए

अब जिंदगी हो गई है बेगानी हमसे,
अब सोचते हैं कि वो समय कब आएगा वापस
कब होंगे हम सब साथ,
कब करेंगे फिर से लड़ाईयां
कब होंगी वो मीठी तकरार
कब फिर टकलवा हमसे रूठेगा
कब झउवा वाली बात दोहराई जाएगी
कब चाचा के करीब होंगे हम
कब होगी सुखिया से बतचीत
कब राजनवा को लेकर लड़ेंगे हम
कब करेंगे फालतू की फ्लर्टिंग मेधा और श्वेता और रितुबनी के साथ
कब होगी सुबह जब हम रवि गोविंद जाएंगे बोटानिकल गार्डन और लेंगे शक्तिवर्धक चूर्ण
कब बैठेंगे हम फिर साथ साथ
वो आशुतोष का जरा सी बात पर तुनक जाना
वो मेधा का बिना बात के ही गुस्सा होना
वो हम चार की चांडाल चौकड़ी
वो भीम की दुकान पर एक ही लौंगलते पर लड़ना
एक गुलाम जामुन के कई हिस्से
एक ही समोसे के कई टिकड़े अब याद दिलाते हैं कि याद रहे कि याद ना आए
एक पल भी में वो लम्हें पलक भिगा जाते हैं

हा..... वो लम्हें... वो किस्से जिन्हें अब हम आने वाली जेनरेशन को ही सुना सकते हैं

I walk a lonely road

I walk a lonely road
The only one I that have ever known
Don't know were it goes
But its home to me and I walk alone
I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of broken dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk a...
My shadows the only one that walks beside me
My shallow hearts the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Till then I walk alone
Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ahhh
Ah Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ah-Ah
I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line of the edge
And were I walk alone
Read between the lines of what's
Fucked up and every things all right
Check my vital signs to know I'm still alive
And I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk a...
My shadows the only one that walks beside me
My shallow hearts the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Till then I walk alone
Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ahhh
Ah Ah-Ah Ah-Ah
I walk alone
I walk a...
I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of broken dreams
Were the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk a..
My shadows the only one that walks beside me
My shallow hearts the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Till then I'll walk alone!

I just want you to know who I am

And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now
And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
'Cause sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am
And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive
And I don't want the world to see मे
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am

कुछ अनकही सी

मालेगांव

सबसे पहले मैं इस बात पर दुविधा में रहा कि इस लेख का क्या शीर्षक लिखूं। कभी सोचता कि इसे हिंदू अतिवाद कहूं या फिर आतंकवाद। इस बार तो कई कट्टर हिंदूवादी भी सोच में पड़ गए होंगे कि अब इसका क्या जवाब होगा। मालेगांव ब्लास्ट में जब से एक राष्ट्रीय समाचार पत्र में छपा कि इसमें अखिल भारतीय विद्यार्थी परिषद और हिंदू जागरण मंच का नाम आया तो जैसे मेरे जैसे कई हिंदूवादीयों का तो खून ही सूख गया। आखिर यह क्या हुआ? ऐसा कैसे हो गया। सहिष्णु हिंदू आखिर कैसे इतना असहिष्णु हो सकता है। बात हो रही थी सभी चैनलों पर इस बारे में कि यह जरूर राजनीतिक लाभ लेने के लिए यह महाराष्ट्र सरकार का एक दांव है। शायद यह राज ठाकरे से ध्यान हटाने से कांग्रेस का एकत दांव मात्र हो। लेकिन यह भी विचार करने योग्य है कि क्या अब यह भी संभव हो गया है जब अपने लोक कल्याण का ढोंग पीटने वाले भगवा ब्रिगेड और राष्ट्रीय स्वयं सेवक संघ अपने आपको इस ओर भी मोड़ रहे हैं। पहले कहीं भी अगर कोई ब्लास्ट की खबर आती थी तो सारे समाचार चैनल और इंटेलिजेंस विभाग इस बारे में तफ्तीश करने में जुट जाते थे कि कहीं इसमें कहीं सिमि या फिर इंडियन मुजाहिदीन का हाथ तो नहीं। पर अब शायद ऐसा ना हो। अब हो सकता है कि इस फेहरिस्त में एक और नाम जुड़ गया। आतंक का एक और घिनौना नाम।
जब इस तरह के हमले देश पर सन 90 में शुरू हुए तो सारे लोग इसे इस्लामिक अतिवाद कहते थे। धीरे धीरे इसे इस्लामिक आतंकवाद का नाम दिया जाने लगा। पहले तो हम अपने देश के बाहर के बिच्छुओं का दंश झेल रहे थे। लेकिन धीरे धीरे जब अपने ही आस्तीन के सांप हमें काटने लगे तो फिर इस समस्या का निपटारा कैसे हो। क्या इससे निपटने के लिए हमे नंगा होना पड़ेगा। क्या यही हिंदुस्तान है जहां हजारों सालों से हिंदुत्व और सभ्यता का बोलबाला रहा। जहां के लोग हमेसा लोगों का पेट भरने में विश्वास रखते आए हैं। यहां मैं हिंदुत्व शब्द का इस्तमाल इसलिए कर रहा हूं क्योंकि मैं इसे धर्म मानता ही नहीं। शायद कुछ लोग इसे मेरी नादानी कहें या फिर बचपना या फिर बड़बोलापन। पर मैं आज यह साबित करने नहीं जा रहा कि ऐसा मैनें क्यों लिखा है। पर एक बात जरूर कहता हूं कि हिंदू कोई धर्म नहीं एक सभ्यता है जिसे यह नाम भी हमारे किसी भाई बंधु ने ही दी है। यह नाम भी हमें वसुधेव कुटुंबकम् को जरूर याद दिलाता है।

कुछ दिन पहले जब देश सिलसिलेवार बम धमाकों को झेल रहा था तो मेरे एक मित्र का स्क्रैप ऑर्कुट पर आया था कि आखिर यह सब कब तक चलता रहेगा। कब तक हम यह सब सहते रहेंगे। तो मैने जवाब में लिखा था कि जब तक हमारा धैर्य जवाब नहीं देता। मैंने यह सपने में भी नहीं सोचा था कि हमारा धैर्य इतनी जल्दी जवाब दे देगा। यहां तो मैं यही कहूंगा कि आखिर जो बिच्छू हमारे देश को डस रहे थे और कुछ आस्तीन के सांप जो हमारी मोटी चमड़ी पर बार बार हमले कर रहे थे। और जो हमने अपनी सभ्यता का बुलेटप्रूफ पहन रखा था, वो अब ना जोने कहां गुम हो गया है। यदि ऐसे ही चलता रहा तो कहीं यह सभ्यता ही ना दम तोड़ दे। क्या हम भी पशु हो गए हैं? क्या हमारी भी अंतरात्मा इसकी गवाही देगी कि हम हमारे ही भाइयों का कत्ल करें? यह तो शायद कोई धुर हिंदूवादी भी सोचता होगा। फिर कैसे यह सवाल हमारे उपर आ खड़ा हुआ? और फिर सवालों के घेरे में गए।

Nobody knows

Nobody knows its Empty
This smile which I wear,
The real I is left in the past
Bcoz U have left me there.

Nobody knows I m crying
They won't even see my tears,
When they think that I m laughing
I still wish U were there.

Nobody knows it's painful
They think I m strong,
They say that this won't kill me
But I wonder if they were wrong.

Nobody knows I m praying
That u will change my mind,
They think that I had let U go
When u left me behind.

Nobody knows I miss U
They think I feel set free,
But I feel like I m bound with chains
Trapped in the mystery.

Nobody knows I need U
They say I can do it on my own,
But they don’t know I m crying
When I m all alone.

"I love you"।

your voice,
that I can listen to so clearly,
the sweet smell of your body,
yes I can smell it so near,
Am I dreaming or is this reality,
The fragrance of my first love is coming again।

The twinkle in her eyes
say's she love's me.
But her lips never reveal this
The carving of her lips
say's she want me
but her hands never touch me.

The look in her eyes
say they care for me
The blood red eyes
say's I excite her
when will she go insane over me and
say that three twinkling words
"I love you"।

उनका एहसास

अस्सी के घाट पे
गंगा के किनारे
बैठे थे हम उन यारो के संग
वो साथ नही
पर
उनका एहसास है
दिखता है पानी का चक्कर
गिरते धारे बनते भंवर
उन भंवरों मे समाहित होती
लाखों जिंदगियां
उन जिंदगियों को पलती गंगा
मछलियां कछुवे कीड़े मकौड़े
सबकी पनाहगाह बनती ये
फिर भी अकेले हू यहां
वो साथ नही
पर
उनका एहसास है

रीते मन के
कोने मे
अनायास
अचानक
किसी
क्छण
एक किरण
कौंधी
और फिर
कुंठित मन ने
दूर
बहुत पीछे मुखर
अतीत मे
निहारा
क्या सचमुच
कभी वसंत आया था तुम्हारे जीवन मे ?

TO LOVE O BE................

To Love To be Loved
To never foret your own insignificance
To never get used to the unspeakable violence and vulgar desparity of life around you
to seek joy in the saddest places
To pursue beauty to its liar
To never simplify what is complicated and complicate what is simple
To respect strength never power
Above all, to watch
To try and understand
To never look away
To concentrate
And never, never to forget
