भैंस चालीसा

” This Poem is written by : Dushyant Kr. Chaturvedi ji who is a very famous poet.”

Some one mailed me and i posted it in column of “artice written by others” categories.

I should get applause for posting this poem but not for writing it as i have not created this.

 

भैंस चालीसा

=========
महामूर्ख दरबार में, लगा अनोखा केस
फसा हुआ है मामला, अक्ल बङी या भैंस
अक्ल बङी या भैंस, दलीलें बहुत सी आयीं
महामूर्ख दरबार की अब,देखो सुनवाई
मंगल भवन अमंगल हारी- भैंस सदा ही अकल पे भारी
भैंस मेरी जब चर आये चारा- पाँच सेर हम दूध निकारा
कोई अकल ना यह कर पावे- चारा खा कर दूध बनावे
अक्ल घास जब चरने जाये- हार जाय नर अति दुख पाये
भैंस का चारा लालू खायो- निज घरवारि सी.एम. बनवायो
तुमहू भैंस का चारा खाओ- बीवी को सी.एम. बनवाओ
मोटी अकल मन्दमति होई- मोटी भैंस दूध अति होई
अकल इश्क़ कर कर के रोये- भैंस का कोई बाँयफ्रेन्ड ना होये
अकल तो ले मोबाइल घूमे- एस.एम.एस. पा पा के झूमे
भैंस मेरी डायरेक्ट पुकारे- कबहूँ मिस्ड काल ना मारे
भैंस कभी सिगरेट ना पीती- भैंस बिना दारू के जीती
भैंस कभी ना पान चबाये – ना ही इसको ड्रग्स सुहाये
शक्तिशालिनी शाकाहारी- भैंस हमारी कितनी प्यारी
अकलमन्द को कोई ना जाने- भैंस को सारा जग पहचाने
जाकी अकल मे गोबर होये- सो इन्सान पटक सर रोये
मंगल भवन अमंगल हारी- भैंस का गोबर अकल पे भारी
भैंस मरे तो बनते जूते- अकल मरे तो पङते जूते

तुम आई हो

“खिड़की का परदा हिलता है और लगता है तुम आई हो
जब जब दिल धड़कता है लगता है तुम्ही समायी हो

मेरी सांसो जी गर्मी में, गीतों में ,गजल, तरानो में
नयनों के उमंगो में या उनके घायल क्रंदन में
मेरी मदहोश तरंगों में, रग रग में तुम्ही समाई हो
मेरे ख्वाबो के सावन में तुम रिमझिम बनकर आई हो

नए शहर में जब मैं आया तुम बिन बहुत अकेला था
ख़ुद में मैं था लीं मगर तुम्हरी यादों का मेला था
हर चेहरे में तुमको ढूंढा,भीड़ में ख़ुद को तनहा पाया
एक झलक तुम्हरी मिल जाती, पल पल ताकता आस लगाया

पुरवा की बयार से पूछा, हर मौसम से हाल तुम्हारा
चाँदनी रातों से पूछा, पंछी से पूछा पता तुम्हारा
हर अनजाने चेहरे में तुम्हारी ही तलाश रही
सपनो में तुम आओगी, इतनी बाकी आस रही.

जब भी सुंदर नयनो से मेरी नयने टकराई
बलखाती अठखेलियों वाली,बस तुम ही तो याद आई

भीड़ में तनहा खड़ा हुआ एक मधुर संगीत सुना
मन यूँ चंचल हो बैठा,जैसे की तुमने गया हो

1st क्लास की खिड़की से महिला डब्बा को निहारता हूँ
टिकेट खिड़की की कतारों में पल पल तुमको ढूंढ़ता हूँ
एक दिन यु बस में बैठा,एक भीनी सुगंध हवा ने लायी
आँखे छल छल हो बैठी शायद तुम हो अब आई

internet पर जब भी बैठा तुम्हारा नाम ढूंढ़ता रहा
एक असीम बिश्वास से तुमको ही पूजता रहा
जब भी आँखे उनींदी होती, सपनो को बुलाता हूँ
सपनो में तुम आती हो, अद्भुत सुख में पता हूँ

हर दर्द में खुसी में बस तुमको ही मैं गाता हूँ
जीवन के हर अहसास में तुमको ही निभाता हूँ

इस जीवन का मोल न जानू तुम बिन बहुत अधुरा हूँ
तुम ही मेरा आदि -अंत हो तुमसे ही मैं पुरा हूँ ”

Hero or villain

It’s an additional experience in Mumbai. That day I was going by BEST bus to IIT Powai.The bus was too much crowded as usual.90% of the passengers were ,as it looked, from labor class and were speaking Marathi. I was silent and observing people out there. At the Mulund bus stop a lady, 50 something of age, enetered into the bus.She wore salwar-kamij.She went to driver and asked “Tumne bas kyun nahi roka?” I watched and realized she was desperately waiting for that bus since long time and that frustration was well evident on her face.

“Kyun, Ye tere baap ki bus hai kya..? He said.

“No, ye na mere baap ki hai na tumhare baap ki, Ye government ki bus hai or tumhari ye duty hai ki jahan tumko bus rokna hai wahan bus roko” the decent lady replied.

Parallely the public there started making noise. “Are bhai tum chalo,kyun yese pagal logon ki baton mein aate ho..”. Meanwhile a 25 something guy went to that lady and started hitting and slapping her. He threw her “Chunni”.I was shell shocked. I felt fire in my body. Tears fell down on her cheeks. She was helpless and I felt guilty not reflexing to the situation.

 

After some time the bus conductor heard the incident. He informed the driver. “Kya ? usne yesa kiya ?” asked the driver. Then followed the real drama. He went to that guy and kept hitting, beating, slapping till blood came out from his face. He abused him. “ sala , jo bolna tha unhone mujhe bola , tu mera koun lagta hai, o hindi bolti hai to kya hua, wahi log mumbai or desh ko chalate hain, tum jaise noukar nahi”.

 

I again felt happy but uncomfortable. I went to bed but could not sleep, just kept thinking about that Bus driver.

Was he a bad man, was he a hero? I am still confused …..

 

Regards,

Lucky Me

This was the finest day in Mumbai.

No rain..easy entry in local train for Vashi to Kurla and then Big profit as  virtual money in Trading!.

I landed up in Local train with 89% packed (in terms of Packing fraction !).Got place to half stand. One glass of my spectacles surrendered in crowd.I felt sad by losing  Rs. 700 at one go.After 2 station when so many scoundrels left the train, a guy came to me ,all smiling and gave me that GLASS ! GOD must be crazy ! i wondered how come that glass survived when i find hard doing so ?  I smiled and thanked that “NICE HUMAN BEING of Mumbai.These type of species are rare in Mumbai !. You can bet on that !

Human and Trading:

Finance is interesting.Doesn’t require any prior knowledge.You should have sound brain and analytical approach .You would be master.Trading makes you greedy because you are stealing some one’s money virtually and so does others to you.Its addictive and progressive.When you need to hit 8 keys of keyboard withing 10 seconds and it results in Rs. 10,000 you smile.But when you misshit with time lag and loose Rs. 60,000 you feel deserted.Money is always attached to risk and thrill.If you wish to be finance wizard and money maker be a Trader and feel smartness from within !

The Local Train :

As i said travelling by a local train in Mumbai is challenging and adventrous too.You stand by the platform and people will throw you into the train.Remember,never hold any thing as a support,you will get a place to stand in the train minus your hands.

When first time i saw the scene at Kurla station it was horrible/terrible.People thrust in the train like animals ,not caring about others and so accident take place at high frequency.Recently i have observed that a group of folk singers sit in the train and sing. God knows how they manage to get seat but they are really irritating and no one opposes including me..because of the “don’t touch the dirt attitude “.

Few Changes in Me :

Thanks to IIT KGP, i have learnt flexible life style.I sleep at 4 AM and wake up at 9 AM for office and feel fresh even doing so.

# Take bath 2 times a day.

# My eyes are ice cool observing hot babes and their actions.

# Do lots of shopping in the weekends and visit shopping mall for dual purpose.

# Could adjust and befriend with a BENGALI GUY(Its a great achievement because if you are preplanned not to share your space with a BONG ever in you life !.Can’t say the exact reason).

# Could live without watching any MOVIE and **** since 2 months.

# Could enjoy net browsing at NET speed of 19.2 kbps and still do not feel frustrated.

# Could travel 2 hrs in Local train and have no complain against it. Can’t help. Man! you have to travel if you realy wish to manage your life un-expensively in Mumbai.

Cheers,

Addicted to life in Mumbai

This is my first affair with “Aamchhi Mumbai”.Love at first sight !. Thats my relationship status :). I have heard many times “yaar, mumbai jindagi bana deti hai “.But that always sounded to me fictional.But as soon as i landed here i realized, its not wrong.

Few things i have observed :

1. Girls attitude and their style.Way of presenting themselves.you watch any xyz girl at any point of time,she would look attractive to you doesn’t matter what her  complexion and  figure is and so so.Thats how they maintain !

2. Professionalism in every individual in true sense. “Paisa kamane ke pichhe sab bhagte hain yahan ” !

3. Highest ever auto Rickshaw  fare for me. But hats off to BEST bus service and local trains. Going to every corner is possible.You don’t have to own a car unless you are too elite.Traveling by a local train is a learning experience and a treat to watch for you, if you are new to Mumbai.It will take at least 4 days for you to settle down on this front.But when you are well acquainted with this you will love it.

4.About The company : I get best food of my life, coffee, cold drinks, juice ,snacks and daily 2 times chicken all unlimited and free of cost.Free note book,xerox,printout,Net connection bla bla..and yes ! daily ride in different car to my flat.

Working hours of 10:00 AM till 10:00 PM  sounds hectic but when you get 5 News papers to read, free time to chat, mail, internet browsing and best of business minds then who cares !

you get teachings to make money, to be Karorpati by just playing with others money and free entrepreneurship skills then its worth devoting those hours . Smart people,smart brains,smart thinking,smart life,smart food so its smart me and my company.

5. The Place i live : Kopar khairane, Vashi, Navi Mumbai.

This place is cool.Its Growing and Rising Mumbai ! .Shopping Malls, cool boys and hot gals.

I live at 10th floor. Lift is cool.Its speed is just faster than a crawling and almost dead creature .

But you enter in the flat, open all windows and you get fresh cool breeze coming directly from Arabian Sea. Peep through window and see waves of Arabian Sea.

Well i have 4 flat mates. one is Bengali Dada, he happens to be my room partner ,a good person at heart but emotional creature. You can always miss use him. Girls generally do that to him. But you can’t take out generosity from him.That’s his persona.Yes ! he is good at art and i still feel happily strange that he is attached to me in many ways .He is bong but his expressions are very touching and cool.

Has strong hold on his expression be it art, painting, computers, subjects so and so…

Another is Oriya. A smart fellow with decent outlook. But he is too honest to survive in this damn world full of bullshitter’s ! He has passion for songs and maintains composure .

Another is from Jharkhand. A calculative person with business mind.He relates business to everything. cool !

Another is with similar profile but with family business background.He talks with confidence and has nice future ahead.

One is me ! always a studdd 🙂

Rest next time :

My love affair with cricket

Yesterday , i went to Kolkata to watch IPL match between Kolkata knigth riders and mumbai Indians.It was really fantastic experience.Its very much different experience than watching match on TV.They are so animated and informed with statistics .But there it was not easy to catch all movements at a time .Unfortunately camera was not allowed 😦

In IIT KHARAGPUR IPL is super hit like orkut.There would be important exam like end sem but u would prefer watching match.Match streaming and IP are talk of the day.(Thanks to 24hrs. free net facility 🙂 ).

My love with this game started way back in 1996. I use to be very studious guy who loved text books with no other activity.But my friends used to brought radio in class rooms secretly to get updates. so i got gradually inclined.It was world cup time. I started reading news paper for  sports page and would eagerly watch match between JNV GOPALGANJ team and other teams.I gradually knew about cricket playing nations and players.

Then i started listening to radio for commentary . I just got addicted .I would delay lunch/dinner/breakfast/assignments for that.It was really benifitial as i started loving the game and could understand fast passed English commentary.Even i started playing cricket in my close group of friends with our typical BAT. I hit sixes and fours (don’t laugh,it true).I started playing badminton too. I was very smart player and would beat all my friends. So i dreamt that may be after some time i would get in district level, then state level then selection in national team :P. So that’s how my affair started with this game.

Really some crazy incidents are worth mentioning :

  • When Yuvraj singh made 84 in NAIROBI series i loved his strokes and remember him till today.We brought TV on rent to watch the final.India lost the final. Even we thougth to break TV .but some one came to our rescue . I was so sad, my head started aching, we did not take our dinner. I kept my sad face for almost 4 days.
  • In 1999 world cup. I always seat/eat/slept with radio at my ear.I loved South Africa and its players.I got more addicted.Was so sad when SA were not in final. I loved sachin tendulkar and saurav ganguly.
  • In 2003 i was very much involved. Watched every match.Read newspaper and editorial. Wrote many things daily. I got inspired the  way India made come back like true fighters . I loved the concept and term ” Team India “. Was ecstatic as  India made to the final. During those days , I was in BOKARO. IIT entrance was near in April.But do hell with that.Bokaro is always a silent town but in those days it seemed, was a city with not a single soul.
  • On final day when Zaheer khan’s 1st over started being murdered by Ricky Ponting i felt crying. Then what followed for 50 overs was unforgettable. India batted for chase .wickets kept falling.Every one left TV room.  I kept seating  waiting for some miraculous innings from Sehwag.  When he was gone my dream was gone with billions of cricket worshiping Indians. I cursed team Australia . I did not take dinner . Wrote 5 pages in my diary about loss of India in the final and many finals.
  • I compared sachin, Dravid, Sehwag with my chrachter and luck. I felt dejected and at complete loss.
  • Got so happy and emotional when India won T20 world cup.I loved arrival of DHONI on Indian cricketing stage.
  • Now i am loving IPL and this wonderfull concept of fire work cricket. I loved Maccullum fire works.I am so involved in IPL .And have sad feeling for Deccan, Mumbai , Bangalore.
  • One day in dream, i saw Mumbai Indians scored 299 runs. Sachin scored 253. But they are chased by some other team who made 400 😛 its not logical . But it shows our involvment in cricket.
  • when saurav ganguly was thrown out of indian team . I felt injustice was done to him. i felt so sad.But dada made come back. I was so happy, inspired with his fighting spirit/determination/inner strength and a true player.
  • I loved the way Saurav threw his T-shirt when they won the Final.

Many matches to follow.Many Dramas are to be witnessed. IPL has long way to go and has very bright future ahead for cricket lovers.Many records are to be broken and made.

Truly India is cricket crazy nation.cricket is religion and cricketers are our super star and demo-GODs.Throwing stones on cricketers home would occur. Banning Saurav would sadden us.His strong come back will inspire us. I love India. I  love cricket and hope that  Team India would be World cup winner some day.My love affair with cricket will remain for ever.Cheers to India , a great nation, a cricket crazy nation.
