ज़िंदगी बता तू,

दोस्त है या रक़ीब?

मुझे ज़िंदगी जीना है

या जंग जीतना है ?

रक़ीब– प्रतिद्वंद्वी, प्रतिस्पर्धी।

A selfie video might be all you need to find out your blood pressure, per a study by researchers in Canada and China. University of Toronto developmental psychologist Kang Lee and his postdoctoral researcher Paul Zheng developed a technology called transdermal optical imaging (TOI).

Come, come,

whoever you are.

Wanderer, worshiper,

lover of leaving.

It doesn’t matter.

Ours is not a caravan

of despair.

Come,

even if you have

broken your

vows a thousand times.

Come,

yet again,

come, come.

Rumi ❤️

रेशमी डोर में बँधे चलते रहे,

भरोसे से .

नींद टूटी,

भरोसा टूटा,

देखा तो……..

डोर भी टूट गई थी .

A reward is on offer to the next couple to give birth to a son after no boys were born there for 12 years.

The Polish village of Miejsce Odrzańskie is now under scrutiny from experts to see if there is a deeper rooted issue or if it is just an anomaly.

Head of the local (mostly female) volunteer fire brigade Tomasz Golasz said: It has been going on for several decades. I came to the village, took a local girl for my wife and we had two daughters.

‘I would like to have a son but it’s probably unrealistic. My neighbour also tried and has two daughters. I don’t think women give birth to boys here.’

Mayor Rajmund Frischko has been looking through the village’s history to find out if there has been a similar incidence in the past, according to  The First News.

आँखों से छलकती ख़ुशियाँ जब,

पीछे छुपे ग़म को ढक लेतीं हैं ….

धूप-छांव, धुँध-धुआँ और

बे-वजह मुस्कुराहट भरी

रिश्वतों के पीछे.

ख़ुशियों ….के जन्मदिन…के

कुछ पल जश्न से मना लेते हैं…..

जश्न तो हम आज भी मनाते हैं.

कुछ भूले बिसरे नज़्म गुनगुनाते हैं.

एक आदत थी तुम्हे देखने की बजम में.

पर जश्न-ए-ज़िंदगी हार गई मौत से .
