जो बादलों में उतर रही गगन से आकर, जो पर्वतों पर बिखर रही है सफ़ेद चादर, वही तो मैं हूँ.... वही तो मैं हूँ.... जो इन दरख्तों के सब्ज़ पत्तों पे डोलती है, जो ओस बनकर हर मौसम को खेलती है, वही तो मैं हूँ.....वही तो मैं हूँ....

Never lose your heart.
Never lose your heart.
Be optimistic.
Every black cloud has a silver lining.
इस नदी की धार में ठंडी हवा आती तो है,
नाव जर्जर ही सही, लहरों से टकराती तो है।
एक चिनगारी कही से ढूँढ लाओ दोस्तों,
इस दिए में तेल से भीगी हुई बाती तो है।
एक खंडहर के हृदय-सी, एक जंगली फूल-सी,
आदमी की पीर गूंगी ही सही, गाती तो है।
एक चादर साँझ ने सारे नगर पर डाल दी,
यह अंधेरे की सड़क उस भोर तक जाती तो है।
निर्वचन मैदान में लेटी हुई है जो नदी,
पत्थरों से, ओट में जा-जाके बतियाती तो है।
दुख नहीं कोई कि अब उपलब्धियों के नाम पर,
और कुछ हो या न हो, आकाश-सी छाती तो है।

Self-respect
Self-respect
Respect for one's self; regard for one's character; laudable self-esteem.
•dignity: the quality of being worthy of esteem or respect; "it was beneath his dignity to cheat"; "showed his true dignity when under pressure"
•Self-esteem is a term used in psychology to reflect a person's overall evaluation or appraisal of his or her own worth. Self-esteem encompasses beliefs (for example, "I am competent" or "I am incompetent") and emotions such as triumph, despair, pride and shame. ...
•The knowledge of one's own worth, valuing one's self; pride
Self respect is extremely important in that it effects everything you do in life. How you allow people to treat you and what you will settle for is all based around your self worth and that comes back to the respect you carry for yourself.
Self respect is liking oneself and giving yourself dignity, just like you would give it to any other person. Self respect is such an important thing because without it self love is impossible and loving others in a healthy way is impossible. If you lack self respect, you will allow others to trample...
When you have self-respect, you actually fully love yourself. You love yourself for who you are on the inside and not just because of what you do, what you look like, or what you’re capable of. When you have self-respect.

Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room.
One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs.
His bed was next to the room’s only window.
The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back.
The men talked for hours on end. They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military service, where they had been on vacation.
Every afternoon when the man in the bed by the window could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window.
The man in the other bed began to live for those one hour periods where his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and color of the world outside.
The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Young lovers walked arm in arm amidst flowers of every color and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance.
As the man by the window described all this in exquisite detail, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine the picturesque scene.
One warm afternoon the man by the window described a parade passing by.
Although the other man couldn’t hear the band – he could see it. In his mind’s eye as the gentleman by the window portrayed it with descriptive
words.
Days and weeks passed..
One morning, the day nurse arrived to bring water for their baths only to find the lifeless body of the man by the window, who had died peacefully in his sleep. She was saddened and called the hospital attendants to take the body away.
As soon as it seemed appropriate, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch, and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone.
Slowly, painfully, he propped himself up on one elbow to take his first look at the real world outside. He strained to slowly turn to look out the window beside the bed.
It faced a blank wall.
The man asked the nurse what could have compelled his deceased roommate who had described such wonderful things outside this window.
The nurse responded that the man was blind and could not even see the wall.
She said, “Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you.”
Epilogue:
There is tremendous happiness in making others happy, despite our own situations.
Shared grief is half the sorrow, but happiness when shared, is doubled.
If you want to feel rich, just count all the things you have that money can’t buy.
“Today is a gift, that’s why it is called the present.”

इस बार नहीं(Now I will stand against terrorism)
इस बार नहीं
जब कोई सिसकती हुई बच्ची मेरे पास आएगी,
उसके ज़ख्मों को मैं सहलाऊंगा नहीं,
नफ़रतों के बीज जो बोए,
नफ़रतें किसी और की उठाऊंगा नहीं,
इस बार नहीं
इस बार जब ज़ख्मों पर खून से लिपटा देखूंगा,
नहीं गाऊंगा गीत पीड़ा भुलाने वाले,
जख्मों को रिसने दूंगा,
गुज़रने दूंगा अंदर गहरे,
इस बार घावों को देखना है
गौर से थोड़े लंबे वक्त तक
कुछ फ़ैसले अब
उसके बाद हौसले
कहीं तो शुरुआत करनी होगी
इस बार यही तय किया है मैने,
और....
शायद हम सबने.........

Self-awareness
Self-awareness is the explicit understanding that one exists. Furthermore, it includes the concept that one exists as an individual, separate from other people, with private thoughts. It may also include the understanding that other people are similarly self-aware. Self-awareness remains a critical mystery in philosophy, psychology, biology, and artificial intelligence.
Self-consciousness is credited only with the development of identity (see the self). In an epistemological sense, self-consciousness is a personal understanding of the very core of one's own identity. It is during periods of self-consciousness that people come the closest to knowing themselves objectively.
Jean Paul Sartre describes self-consciousness as being "non-positional", in that it is not from any location in particular.
Self-consciousness plays a large role in behavior, as it is common to act differently when people "lose one's self in a crowd". It is the basis for human traits, such as accountability and conscientiousness. Self-consciousness affects people in varying degrees, as some people self-monitor (or scrutinize) themselves more than others. Different cultures vary in the importance they place on self-consciousness.
According to Locke, personal identity (the self) "depends on consciousness, not on substance" nor on the soul. We are the same person to the extent that we are conscious of our past and future thoughts and actions in the same way as we are conscious of our present thoughts and actions. If consciousness is this "thought" which doubles all thoughts, then personal identity is only founded on the repeated act of consciousness: "This may show us wherein personal identity consists: not in the identity of substance, but... in the identity of consciousness".
Therefore personal identity is not in the brain, but in consciousness.

I SWEAR
I swear that this time I will stand up
Not for what I believe in, but for what I don't
This time I will stand up.
Not for,but against
Against my own helplessness
Against my own laziness
Against two words called "CHALTA HAI"
Against shortcuts in queues
Against cheating in exams
Against "KHARCHA PAANI" in offices
Against powerless inquiry commissions
Against religion in politics
Against politics in religion
Against illegal construction
Against legal loopholes
Against the belief that nothing will change.
Because only by standing against all that
is destroying our today,
Will I be able to give my children
Something called TOMORROW.

बेटी
वह घर भी क्या घर है
जिसमें बेटी नहीं होती ।
उसकी मुस्काने-लीलाएं नहीं होती ।
वह एक खुशबू है,
जो कोना-कोना घर का महकाती है,
वह हंसती-मुस्काती-किलकाती है,
घर को जीवंत बनाती है,
रूठती-अएंठती-रूती है,
कठोरतम दिलों को
पिघलाती है ।
वह गुलाब की कोमलता है,
उषा की लालिमा है,
मता-पिता की प्राण है,
कुटुंब की आन-बान-शान है,
और रत्नों की खान है,
कोयल की तान है,
तो कवि-कल्पना का गान है,
पिता-पति दोनों कुलों के मध्य
वह एक सुंदर सेतु है,
प्रकृति में नित नए
सृजन की,
हेतु है ।
वह शक्ति है,
वह भक्ति है,
मर्यादाओं की पुंज है
घोर नीरवता में मधुर गूंज है,
शीतल समीर है वह,
होली का अबीर है वह,
ताज़गी का स्फुरण है वह,
शांत सौम्य संगीत है वह,
जीवन की आस है वह,
जीने का विश्वास है वह

सपने आते हैं
सपने आते हैं
जीवन-सत्य के रिसते घावों पर
मलहम मलते हैं
उनकी टीस, निशान तक
मिटा देते हैं ।
जीवन के अंधेरों को उजालों में,
शुष्कता को सरसता में
ठहराव को गति में
बदल देते हैं वे ।
दुनिया सुंदर लगती है,
जीवन-जिजीविषा बढ़ती है
कठिनाइयां-कर्कशता झेलने की
क्षमता लौट आती है ।
यदि स्वप्न नहीं होते
तो क्या हम जी पाते ?
शायद नहीं...............

INTENSE LOVE
विरह में दर्द मिलन में राग
कहें क्या हम इसको अनुराग,
प्रेम के हर बंधन को तोड़
मीत सब दूर रहें है भाग,
प्रीत क्या इसको कहते हैं ?
अजनबी अपने बनते हैं।
समय के परिवर्तन से मित्र
न खींचें अपने मन के चित्र
भरोसा जिन पर किया असीम
उन्हीं ने धोखा दिया विचित्र
रीत क्या इसको कहते हैं ?
प्रीत क्या इसको कहते हैं ?
कभी इस नगर कभी उस गांव
निरंतर रुकें न चलते पांव
यही क्रम जीवन है गतिशील
राह में धूप मिले या छांव
सृअजन के फूल खिलते हैं
गीत सब पीड़ा सहते हैं।
अजनबी अपने बनते हैं
सदा अपने ही रहते हैं ।

कितना कठिन है तुम्हें समझ पाना
तुम्हारे नियन्ता को हमने न जाना
तुम गूढ़ रहस्य लघु बुद्धि मेरी
कैसे जाना तुमने लघुतम कणों में बस जाना
ओ मूर्ख मनुष्य! आंखें खोल दृष्टिपात कर,
मैं ही तुम्हारे रतजगों में प्रकाश बन कर आया
मैं ही तुम्हारी धमनियों में ऊर्जा रूप में समाया
मैं ही तुम्हारे संकल्पों में दृढ़ता बन कर आया
मैं तुम्हारे कण-कण में हूं समाया
ओ मनुष्य ! तुम में मैं हूं
मुझ में तुम हो,
आंखें बंद कर हाथ बढ़ा कर
मुझे बुलाओ !
मेरा स्पर्श करो !
मुझसे बातें करो !
मेरा अनुभव करो !

success
Non-achievement doesn't mean
You are a failure,
It just means you haven't succeeded yet.
Non-achievement doesn't mean
you have accomplished nothing,
It just means you have learnt something.
Non-achievement doesn't mean
you are wrong
It just means you have to do it,
in a different and efficient way.
Non-achievement doesn't mean
You should give up,
It just means you should try harder.
Non-achievement doesn't mean
You will never make it,
It just means it will take a little longer.
Non-achievement doesn't mean
GOD has abandoned you,
It just means god has a
better plan for you.

MOTHER
They say that there is nothing as easy as being a father,
But it is as different to be a mother.
She has abundance of love for your sister or brother,
She is your best friend,
Her affections know no end.
When a child, you need her at every step with her
guiding hand , in the night you slept.
Her assuring small to you was the most beautiful experience in the world.
But now its not hers but your perfume.
And for you, mother is an ordinary word
You now need her to iron your clothes and wash your dishes
She does everything even against her wishes
She's always before you
She sees that you are comfortable and have no pain
But by doing this what does she gain?
A symbol of selflessness and sacrifice she is
Whom you take for granted
You hurt her endlessly.
Whenever your name she chanted,
But she cannot live without you,
Because she still feels about you
When alone she touches your things,
And weeps secretly.
She still loves you intimately
Have you ever thought this way?
Had you not been selfish and ungrateful,
Does she deserve to be in the old age home,
Why not step forward?
She needs your love and compassion.........
LET'S BRING HER HOME............
