ना जाने वह झोंका

हवा का था या यादों का .

बहुत कुछ बिखेर गया ,

जो सहेज कर रखे थे

जीवन के आलों- दराजों में .

Can u judge who is the better person out of these 3 ?

Mr A – He had friendship with bad politicians, consults astrologers, two wives, chain smoker, drinks eight to 10 times a day.

Mr B – He was kicked out of office twice, sleeps till noon, used opium in college & drinks whiskey every evening.

Mr C – He is a decorated war hero, a vegetarian, doesn’t smoke, doesn’t drink and never cheated on his wife and was a painter

You would say Mr.C

right?

But..

Mr. A was Franklin Roosevelt! ( 32nd President of the USA)

Mr. B was Winston Churchill!! (Former British Prime Minister)

Mr C Was ADOLF HITLER!!!

Strange but true..

Its risky to judge anyone by his habits !

Character is a complex phenomenon.

So every person in ur life is important, don’t judge them, accept them.

..The same Boiling Water that hardens the egg, Will Soften the Potato!

It depends upon Individual’s reaction To stressful circumstances!

Enjoy the journey known as LIFE

अदबी महफ़िलें, रस्मों -ओ -रवायत

से निभाई जातीं हैं.

हँसी ….मुस्कान …अपनापन

सब कुछ नपा – तौला सा होता है.

जब हमें क़ुदरत ने नवाज़ा है आज़ाद तबियत से.

फिर मुस्कान पे राशन,

गुफ़्तगू में तकल्लुफ़ क्यों ?

बेज़ुबाँ बन, दिखावटी महफ़िलों से अच्छा है,

तन्हाइयों की अपनी महफ़िल

में समय गुज़ारे अपने साथ.

शब्दार्थ–

अदबी- शिष्टाचार .

महफ़िलें- पार्टी.

रस्मों -ओ -रवायत— दस्तूर.

गुफ़्तगू – बातचीत.

तकल्लुफ़ – बनावट, औपचारिकता.

बेज़ुबाँ– जिसमें बोलने की शक्ति न हो.

जब कभी थोड़ा सा भी ठेस लगता है,

हर शख़्स के ज़बान और व्यवहार से ,

वही झलकता और छलकता है,

जो उसके अंदर भरा होता है.

धक्का लगने से

दूध के पात्र से दूध,

जाम से शराब और

गंगाजली के गोमुख से

गंगाजल हीं छलकेगा.

हमारे अंदर क्या है?

अपने अंदर क्या रखना है?

यह तो अपना-अपना ख़्याल है.

क्योंकि हर चोट के साथ वही

छलक कर सामने आएगा .
