A short Poem..........

When someone does a kindness,
It always seems to me;
That's the way god is in the Heaven,
would like us all to be.

For when we bring some pleasure,
To another  human heart;
We have followed in his footsteps,
And we have had a little part.

In serving Him who loves us,
For I am very sure it is true;
That in serving those around us,
we serve and please him too......

हे बसंत!!!!!!!!!!!

हे बसंत!!!!

तू फिर घुस आया 

मेरे बेडरूम में,

मुझे सताने,

अमराई की सुगंध,

और सरसों की पायल 

छनकाते

कोयल की कूक पर ,

ताल देती चैती को 

लेकर सोनराया गेहूं,

और फाग खेलते

सरसों,टेसू और पलास

सबको लेकर 

बार क्यों घुस आते हो? 

जानते नहीं 

बेडरूम बड़ी पिरैवेट जगह है 

नाहक डिस्टर्ब मत करो 

जानते नहीं मेरा समय 

कितना कीमती है?

मुझे सपनो का ताना -बाना

बुनना है....

बुन कर अपने परिवार को

पहनाना है .....

मुझे बहुत ऊपर और बहुत ऊपर ,

जाना है जहाँ से 

मैं अपने लोगों को भी

 न पहचान सकूँ ......

अब तुम क्यों मुझे 

पीपल, महुए और आम की

मदमाती पुरवाई लेकर 

मेरा रास्ता रोके हो ?

देखो,

पूनम की धपधपाती चांदनी में

चाँदी की चादर ओढ़े ताल उदास होकर 

सिमट रह है 

नहर की पुलिया पर 

अब सुंदर छबीले ठहाके कहाँ?

वहां शराब की धुन पर 

राजनीति ट्विस्ट कर रही है ......

बैलों की घंटियों  से

 सजी वो सांझ कहाँ????

ये तो मल्टीनेशनल कंपनियों 

के कभी न डूबने वाली

 सूरज की उपास है.......

सुप्रभात .....

...नयन से नयन का नमन हो रहा है,

लो उषा का आगमन हो रहा है;

परत पर परत चांदनी कट रही है ,

तभी तो निशा का गमन हो रहा है ;

छितिज पर अभी भी हैं अलसाए सपने,

पलक खोल कर भी शयन हो रहा है;

झरोखों से प्राची कि पहली किरण का,

लहर से प्रथम आचमन हो रहा है......

वहीँ शाख पर हैं पंछियों का कलरव'

प्रभाती सा लेकिन सहन हो रहा है;

बही जा रही है जिस तरह से अरुणिमा ,

है लगता कहीं पर हवन हो रहा है..

मधुर मुक्त आभा, सुगन्धित पवन है;

नए दिन का कैसा सृजन हो रहा है......

Return To Nature...

It is said ,"Nature never did betray the heart ,that loved her." Very well said.Being one with nature will help us to lead a balanced life.

Let us surrender ourselves to the Almighty God. We should perform our duty as per his Commandment not worrying about the result. God will reward us suitably as per our merit, and his reward his most satisfying. At times, it may not appeal us but let us not forget that the non-satisfying award is temporary only.

 We learn love of God only from nature. It’s only God what we name nature, and he has the Remote Control to monitor nature. Once we trust nature, we trust God. Nothing moves without the Will of the Lord. Our nature is so beautiful, full of oceans, forests, mountains, valleys, waterfalls, streams and deserts.
Nothinging ever moved, moves or will move without the will of God. It is only HE i.e. Nature who created all the planets governed under His command. Indeed Nature is the Super Power. None other than God is a creator of Heaven and Earth with no one above Him.

एक पत्र नव वर्ष के नाम.........

आते आते तुम भी कहीं हो जाओ न बदनाम ,
एक पत्र लिखता हूँ नव वर्ष तुम्हारे नाम |
चंपा बेला औ गुलाब के ज़ख्मी बदन हुए,
मौसम के बदले मिजाज़ से कांटे मगन हुए |
नहीं है किस्मत में फूलों के वह छावं ,
नागफनी ने जमा लिए हैं फुलवारी में पाँव |
इस युग के पंछी का जीना हुआ हराम ,
एक पत्र लिखता हूँ नव वर्ष तुम्हारे नाम |

फूल से चेहरे लेकर आते हैं बस्ती में पत्थर,
और मोहफ्हीज़ बनकर जाते हैं शीशों के घर घर |
देख के सारी लीला दर्पण काँप रहा है थर थर ,
राज खुला इनका तो ये वार करेंगे उनपर|.
आज हमारे शहर में मचने वाला है कुहराम ,
एक पत्र लिखता हूँ नव वर्ष तुम्हारे नाम |

प्यार से अपनी गोद में लेकर जिसका रूप निखारे,
जिसकी जिद में थाली पे भी सूरज चाँद उतारे |
आज वही बेटा माँ दामन पे दाग लगाये,
भाषा और मजहब के नाम पे खंजर रोज़ चलाये |
प्यारी माँ का आँचल यहाँ पर होता है नीलाम,

एक पत्र लिखता हूँ नव वर्ष तुम्हारे नाम ........

Many accounts have been written about the life of Nicholas. It was said that he would spend all night studying God’s Word to bring it to the people. He was known for helping the poor, for praying, fasting, and standing steadfast in faith and goodness. There were many accounts of miracles that were brought about through his faith and prayers. Among the accounts of his ministry is the report of the twin brothers who were raised from the dead. It was written about him that that one could hardly keep count of the virtue and goodness that he spread around him.

One particular story of St Nicholas ‘ goodness is the reason many pictures show him with three golden spheres. These represent three bags of gold that he gave to the poor man so that his three daughters could be married. The man was so poor that his daughters had no dowries, and he was so desperate he was planning to sell them into slavery. To keep this from happening, Nicholas threw a bag of gold pieces through the man’s window at night so no one would know who had done it. He wanted God to get the credit for it. Because of this, the eldest daughter had a dowry. She was no longer an outcast and therefore could be married.

Not long after that, Nicholas did the same thing for the second daughter, saving her from a similar fate. When he did it for the third daughter the father caught him. Nicholas made the father swear an oath that he would never reveal who was responsible for the gifts as long as he was alive. 

 Nicholas died on 6 December A.D. 343.December 6, the day of his death, became St Nicholas Day on the roman catholic calendar, the custom of gift-giving on this date began in France and spread right across Europe. 
Similarities between Nicholas’ characteristics can be seen in the Santa Claus character, as he is known worldwide. He gave gifts at night and was not to be seen by anyone. Haven said that one has to ask how did the story of this Godly man get turned into the lie we know it today, the story of elf’s workshops, the North Pole and much, much more.
