NZ Speaker cradles MP’s baby in parliament
ऐसा भी देश है, ऐसे भी लोग हैं।
वरना मातृत्व तो महिलाओं की हीं
ज़िम्मेदारी समझी जाती है।
और वह भी अक्सर घर में रहकर.
सलाम है इन्हें!!!
Wellington, Aug 21 (IANS) The Speaker of New Zealand’s parliament, Trevor Mallard, cradled a lawmaker’s baby while he presided over a debate in the House of Representatives.
Mallard took to Twitter on Wednesday to share a picture of himself feeding MP Tamati Coffey’s baby boy in the Speaker’s seat, the BBC reported.
“Normally the Speaker’s chair is only used by Presiding Officers but today a VIP took the chair with me. Congratulations @tamaticoffey and Tim on the newest member of your family,” he wrote.
Spiritual Poets Tulsidas & Rahim – a weaver & a worrier
Tulsidas came to know about a unique behaviour of Rahim. While giving alms to the poor, Rahim gave with extreme humility. While giving, he kept his gaze downwards towards the earth. He never looked at the person he was giving alms to. Tulsidas promptly wrote the following couplet and sent it to Rahim.
“ऐसी देनी देंनज्यूँ, कित सीखे हो सैन
जयोंज्यों कर ऊंच्यो करो, त्योंत्यों निचे नैन”
Meaning – “O great person, where have you learnt this amazing way of giving? As your hands rise (to give), your eyes look down”
Completing the couplet which Tulsidas wrote, Rahim replied in extreme humility.
His reply shows how evolved Rahim was as a soul.
“देनहार कोई और है, भेजत जो दिन रैन
लोग भरम हम पर करे, तासो निचे नैन”
Meaning- “The Giver is someone else (the God almighty), giving day and night.
The world has a misconception that I am the giver. So, I lower my eyes in embarrassment.”
Tulsidas 1532–1623, also known as Goswami Tulsidas, was a HinduVaishnava saint and poet, renowned for his devotion to the deity Rama. Tulsidas wrote several popular works in Sanskrit and Awadhi; he is best known as the author of the epic Ramcharitmanas, a retelling of the SanskritRamayana based on Rama‘s life in the vernacular Awadhi dialect of Hindi.

And so it is,
that both the devil
and the angelic spirits
present us with
objects of desire
to awaken our

ज़िंदगी के रंग -185
वर्षा सी बरसती,
अर्ध खुली भीगी आँखों के
गीले पलको के चिलमन से
कभी कभी दुनियाइंद्रधनुष सी,
सतरंगी दिखती है.
आँखों के खुलते ही सारे
इंद्रधनुष के रंग बिखर जाते हैं.
ख़्वाबों का पीछा करती
ज़िंदगी कुछ ऐसी हीं होतीं.

मेरी एक पुरानी कविता –
ना जाने क्यों, कभी-कभी पुरानी यादें दरवाजे की दहलीज से आवाज़ देने लगती हैं।

एक टुकड़ा ज़िंदगी का
बानगी है पूरे जीवन के
जद्दोजहद का.
उठते – गिरते, हँसते-रोते
कभी पूरी , कभी स्लाइसों
में कटी ज़िंदगी
जीते हुए कट हीं जाती है .
इसलिए मन की बातें
और अरमानों के
पल भी जी लेने चाहिये.
ताकि अफ़सोस ना रहे
अधूरे हसरतों ….तमन्नाओं …. की.
ज़िंदगी के रंग -184
कभी नहीं चाहा तुम्हें यादों में याद करें.
पर क्या यादों …चाहतों…पर है ज़ोर किसी का?

डूबती नब्ज़
आँखों में पानी का दरिया लिए,
डूबती नब्ज़ को देखा है कभी ?
सुनती नहीं किसी की .
बस डूबती रहती है बिन पानी के ?
