Black Vs White

When i born,i black.
When i grow up,i black.
When i go in sun,i black.
When i scared,i black.
When i sick,i black.
when i die,i still black.
& you white fella...
When you born, you pink.
When you grow up, you white.
When you go in sun, you red.
When you cold, you blue.
When you scared, you yellow.
When you sick, you green.
And when you die, you gray...
& you
calling me colored??

Awakening

Awakening, dawn's chorus
Welcoming,
The day new, untouched
Waiting to be filled.
And will we paint a rainbow
With all its promise
Or dull the canvas
Sadly seen?
Each day brings its own colours
To be chosen, mixed,
Pigments of joy,
Happy moments,
Smiles and laughter.
And which will you choose?
For life is choice,
We are all painters
In our own way,
All needing to create
Something of worth,
Of lasting beauty,
Marking our journey,
Footprints in the sand.
The sky today is azure,
The sun warm and golden
A filigree of light and shadow-play
Through the gently swaying trees.
I clean my brushes,
Choose my palette
Of vibrant, living colours,
And begin to fill
Today's blank canvas.

Take A Challenge Everyday

Take a challenge everyday
That tomorrow should be better than today.
When I fight my innerself, I do lose battles sometime
But the war with myself, is what I win everytime.
I crib not, about what is gone 
I forget the nights, start afresh every dawn. 
Present, is what, I create and enjoy 
Content am I, like a child with his toy.
What it is! matters, not to me 
Coz I believe to see what can be. 
Not blaming others, faults in me, is what I see 
Coz I believe if it is to be it is up to me.
I just not know how to smile 
But I believe in spreading a smile. 
Its not easy to spread a smile, 
For this, one needs to walk an extra mile.
Step by step, step by step, is how I tread the path 
In sea of failures, to reach success, I took a bath 
The fun lay, not in the destination 
But journey itself was a fascination.
Nothing came free, but with success in mind 
I payed the price, not just money, but in every kind. 
What it is to successful, had I known 
To reach it, double the efforts, would I have sown.
I counted not the seeds in a fruit 
But counted the fruits that came from every root. 
I hit the iron when it was hot 
But ridicule in return is all I got.
BUT
When I touched the pinnacles, I saw the viewpoints alter 
Concern in return for a little hard work, I think was a good barter… 
Concern in return for a little hard work, I thought was a good barter…

Don't Quit

When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh.
When care is pressing you down a bit.
Rest, if you must, but don't you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns
As every one of us sometimes learns.
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out:
Don't give up though the pace seems slow -
You may succeed with another blow.
Success is failure turned inside out -
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt.
And you never can tell how close you are.
It may be near when it seems so far:
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.

Secret of success: Think like an ant!



Sometimes the biggest lessons in life come from the smallest folks around us. Read on to find out how:

All of us tend to look up to big people for lessons on how to get better. We are keen to learn the secrets of their success. But we forget that sometimes the biggest lessons in life come from the smallest folks around us. Now that's a good lesson to remember!

Take ants for instance. Would you believe those small creatures could teach us how to live a better life? Jim Rohn -- the great motivational guru -- developed what he called the 'Ants Philosophy'. 

He identified four key lessons from the behaviour of ants that can help us lead better lives. Jim Rohn is no more but his messages continue to inspire. Here then, are the four lessons from Rohn's 'Ants Philosophy'.

1. Ants never quit.

Have you noticed how ants always look for a way around an obstacle? 

Put your finger in an ant's path and it will try and go around it, or over it. It will keep looking for a way out. It won't just stand there and stare. It won't give up and go back.

We should all learn to be like that. There will always be obstacles in our lives. 

The challenge is to keep trying, keep looking for alternative routes to get to our goals.

Winston Churchill [ Images ] probably paraphrased the ant's mindset when he offered this priceless advice: "Never give up. Never, never give up!"

2. Ants think winter all summer.

Remember the old story of the ant and the grasshopper?

In the middle of summer, the ant was busy gathering food for the winter ahead -- while the grasshopper was out having a good time. Ants know that summer -- the good times -- won't last forever. Winters will come. 

That's a good lesson to remember. 

When the going is good, don't be so arrogant as to believe that a crisis or a setback cannot happen to you. 

Be good to other people. Save for a rainy day. 

Look ahead. And remember, good times may not last, but good people do. 

3. Ants think summer all winter.

As they suffer through the unbearable cold of the winter, ants keep reminding themselves that it won't last forever, and that summer will soon be here. 

And with the first rays of the summer sun, the ants come out -- ready to work and ready to play.

When we are down and seemingly out, when we go through what looks like a never-ending crisis, it's good to remind ourselves that this too shall pass.

Good times will come. It's important to retain a positive attitude, an attitude that says things will get better.

As the old saying goes, tough times don't last. Tough people do. 

4. Ants do all they possibly can.

How much food does an ant gather in summer? All that it possibly can! Now that's a great work ethic to have. Do all you can!

One ant doesn't worry about how much food another ant is collecting. 

It does not sit back and wonder why it should have to work so hard. Nor does it complain about the poor pay!

Ants just do their bit. They gather all the food they can.

Success and happiness are usually the result of giving 100% - doing all you possibly can.

If you look around you, you'll find that successful people are those who just do all they possibly can. 

Follow the four simple steps of Jim Rohn's 'Ant Philosophy' and you'll see the difference. Don't quit. Look ahead. Stay positive. And do all you can. 

And there's just one more lesson to learn from ants.

Did you know that an ant can carry objects up to 20 times their own weight?

Maybe we are like that too. We can carry burdens on our shoulders and manage workloads that are far, far heavier than we'd imagine. 

Next time something's bothering you and weighing you down, and you feel you just can't carry on, don't fret. 

Think of the little ant. And remember, you too can carry a lot more on your shoulders!

Kahan gaye woh dost ...

कहाँ गये वो दोस्त, जो हरदम याद किया करते थे...,
जान - बुझकर न सही, मगर भूले से भी मेल किया करते थे...,
खुशी और गम में हमारा साथ दिया करते थे...,
लगता है सब खो गया है ... प्रोजेक्ट्स की डेड्लाइन्स में...,
न अपनी न हमारी, जाने किसकी यादों में...,
ज़िन्दगी को भुला चुके हैं, नौकरी की आड में...,
हरदम फ़ँसे रहते है, अपने पी.एम. के जाल में...,
कभी आओ मिलो हमसे, बैठकर बाते करो...,
दर्द - ए- दिल अपना कहो, हाले - ए - दिल हमारा सुनो...,
क्या रंजिश, क्या है शिकवा, क्या गिला और क्या खता... ;
हम भी जाने तुम भी जानो, आखिर क्या मंज़र क्या माजरा...,
बस भी करो अब...
कह भी दो, अपने दिल का हाल,
क्या करोगे खामोश रहकर
जो चली गई ये ज़िन्दगी, चला गया ये कारवां...;
जागो प्यारे...! अब बस भी करो,
सिर्फ़ काम नही, थोडा ज़िन्दगी को भी महसूस करो...,
खाओ, पिओ, हँसो, गाओ, झूमों, नाचो, मौज करो...,
हकीकत में ना भले पर कम - से - कम ...
.. भूल से ही सही हमें याद तो करो...
हम तो हरदम देंगे यही दुआ आपको..
याद न भी करो तो क्या, चलो, एन्जॉय ही करो।

"मंजिल" Manzil

अगर चाहोगे
मुश्किलें हट जायेंगी
हौसला है लडने का
हर जंग जीत जाओगे

मत देखो पहाडी को
कदम बढाओगे
चोटी पर पहुंच जाओगे

गर हौसला है मजबूत
आग के दरिया को
तैर कर निकल जाओगे

अगर डर गये कांटों से
तो फ़ूल कहां से पाओगे
चाह बनेगी दिल में
तो राह मिल जायेगी

मत रुको डर कर
मत रुको थक कर
चलते चलो, बढते चलो
"मंजिल" को पा जाओगे
अगर चाहोगे ........... ।

Mahabharat ki ek saanjh (Himadri Tung Shring Se )

हिमाद्रि तुंग श्रृंग से प्रबुद्ध शुद्ध भारती
स्वयंप्रभा समुज्जवला स्वतंत्रता पुकारती
अमर्त्य वीर पुत्र हो, दृढ़-प्रतिज्ञ सोच लो
प्रशस्त पुण्य पंथ हैं - बढ़े चलो बढ़े चलो
असंख्य कीर्ति-रश्मियाँ विकीर्ण दिव्य दाह-सी
सपूत मातृभूमि के रुको न शूर साहसी
अराति सैन्य सिंधु में, सुबाड़वाग्नि से जलो
प्रवीर हो जयी बनो - बढ़े चलो बढ़े चलो

Kisko Naman Karu Mein Bharat?

तुझको या तेरे नदीश, गिरि, वन को नमन करूँ, मैं ?
मेरे प्यारे देश ! देह या मन को नमन करूँ मैं ?
किसको नमन करूँ मैं भारत ? किसको नमन करूँ मैं ?
भू के मानचित्र पर अंकित त्रिभुज, यही क्या तू है ?
नर के नभश्चरण की दृढ़ कल्पना नहीं क्या तू है ?
भेदों का ज्ञाता, निगूढ़ताओं का चिर ज्ञानी है
मेरे प्यारे देश ! नहीं तू पत्थर है, पानी है
जड़ताओं में छिपे किसी चेतन को नमन करूँ मैं ?
भारत नहीं स्थान का वाचक, गुण विशेष नर का है
एक देश का नहीं, शील यह भूमंडल भर का है
जहाँ कहीं एकता अखंडित, जहाँ प्रेम का स्वर है
देश-देश में वहाँ खड़ा भारत जीवित भास्कर है
निखिल विश्व को जन्मभूमि-वंदन को नमन करूँ मैं !
खंडित है यह मही शैल से, सरिता से सागर से
पर, जब भी दो हाथ निकल मिलते आ द्वीपांतर से
तब खाई को पाट शून्य में महामोद मचता है
दो द्वीपों के बीच सेतु यह भारत ही रचता है
मंगलमय यह महासेतु-बंधन को नमन करूँ मैं !
दो हृदय के तार जहाँ भी जो जन जोड़ रहे हैं
मित्र-भाव की ओर विश्व की गति को मोड़ रहे हैं
घोल रहे हैं जो जीवन-सरिता में प्रेम-रसायन
खोर रहे हैं देश-देश के बीच मुँदे वातायन
आत्मबंधु कहकर ऐसे जन-जन को नमन करूँ मैं !
उठे जहाँ भी घोष शांति का, भारत, स्वर तेरा है
धर्म-दीप हो जिसके भी कर में वह नर तेरा है
तेरा है वह वीर, सत्य पर जो अड़ने आता है
किसी न्याय के लिए प्राण अर्पित करने जाता है
मानवता के इस ललाट-वंदन को नमन करूँ मैं !
  - रामधारी सिंह दिनकर

Koi Deewana kehta hai full version

Koi deewana kehta hain koi pagal samjhta hain,

magar dharti ki bechani ko bas badal samjhta hain,

Main tujhse dur kaisa hu,tu mujhse dur kaisi hain,

Yeh tera dil samjhta hain ya mera dil samjhta hain



Ke mohobbat ek ehsaason ki paawan si kahaani hain,

kabhi kabira deewana tha kabhi meera diwaani hain,

Yahaan sab log kehte hain meri aakho mein aasu hain,

Jo tu samjhe toh moti hain jo na samjhe toh paani hain



Mat poooch ki kya haal hai mera tere aage,

Tu dekh ke kya rang hain tera mere aage



Samandar peer ka andar hain lekin ro nahi sakta,

Yeh aasu pyaar ka moti hain isko kho nahi sakta,

Meri chahat ko dulhan tu bana lena magar sun le,

Jo mera ho nahi paaya woh tera ho nahi sakta



Bhramar koi kumudni par machal baitha toh hungama,

Humare dil mein koi khwaab pal baitha toh hungama,

Abhi tak doob kar sunte the sab kissa mohobbat ka,

Main kisse ko hakikat mein badal baitha toh hungama

Nazar me sokhiyan, Lab par mohabbat ka tarana hai,
Meri ummeed ki jadd me abhi saara zamana hai,
kayi jeete hai dil ke desh par maloom hai mujhko,
silkandar hoon mujhe ek roz khali hi jana hai,

wo jiska teer chupke se, jigar ke paar hota hai
wo koi gaer kya, apna hi ristedaar hota hai
kisi se apne dil ki baat tu kehna na bhoole se
Yaha khat bhi zara si der me akhbaar hota hai

Har ek nadiya ke hoto pe samandar ka taraana hai,
yaha farhaad ke aage sada koi bahana hai…!
Wahi baatein purani thi, wahi kissa purana hai,
Tumhare aur mere bich me phir se jamana hai…!!

Kalam ko khhon me khud ke dubota hoon to hangama,
Girebaan apnaa aansu me bhingota hoon to hangama,
Nahi mujh par bhi jo khud ki khabar wo hai jamane par,
Main hansta hoon to hangama, mai tota hoon to hangama.

Dharti banna bahut saral hai, kathin hai badal ho jaana
sanjeeda hone me kya hai, muskil pagal ho jana….!
Rang khelte hai sab lekin, kitne log aise hai jo,
seekh gaye jo faagun ki masti me faagun ho jana….!!

Kisi Patthar Me Murat Hai, Koi Patthar Ki Murat Hai..
Lo Humne Dekh Li Duniya, Jo Itni Khubsurat Hai…!
Zamana Apni Samjhe, Par Mujhe Apni Khabar Ye Hai..
Mujhe Teri Zaroorat Hai, Tumhe Meri Zaroorat Hai…!!

Swayam se door ho tum bhi Swayam se door hain hum bhi
bahut ho mashur ho tum bhi bahut mashoor hain humbhi
bade magroor ho tum bhi bade magroor hai hum bhi
Atah mazboor ho tum bhi Atah mazboor hain hum bhi


Main uska hun wo is ehsaas se inkaar karta hai
Bhari mehfil mein bhi ruswaa mujhe har baar karta hai
yaki hai saari duniya ko khafa hai humse woh lekin
Mujhe maaloom hai phir bhi mujhi se pyaar karta hai

Main jab bhi tez chalta hoon nazaare choot jate hain
Koi jab roop gadhta hoon to saanche toot jate hain
Main rota hoon to aakar log kandha thap thapate hain
Main hasta hoon to mujhse log aksar rooth jate hain



ye dil barbad karte ek mein kyun abaad rehte ho,
koi kal keh raha tha tum allahbad rehte ho,
ye kaisi shohrate mujko atah kardi mere maula,
main sab kuch bhool jata hu magar tum yaad rehte ho,

panaho mein jo aaya ho to us par waar kya karna
jo dil hara hua ho us pe fir adhikar kya karna
mohabbat ka maza to doobne ki kasmakash mein hain
jo ho malum gehraiyee to dariya paar kya karna

hamre sher sun kar ke bhi jo khamosh itna hai.
khuda jane gurur-e-husn mein madhosh kitna hai
kisi pyale se pooncha hain surahi se sabab maika
jo khud behosh ho wo kya bataye hosh kitna hain

Basti basti ghor udashi, parwat parwat khali pan
man heera ke mol lut gaya ghish ghishri ka tan chandan
is dhatri se us ambar tak do hi cheez gazab ki hain
ek to tera bhola pan, ek mera deewana pan


Jiski dhun par duniya nache, Dil aisa ektara hai
jo humko bhi pyara hain, jo tumko bhi pyara hain
jhoom rahi hain sari duniya jabki hamre geeto par
tab kehti ho pyar hua hai kya ye pyar tumhara hai

mehli mehfil muskana to padta hai
khud hi khud ko samjhana to padta hai
uski ankhon se hokar dil tak jana
raste mein ye maikhana to padta hain
tumko pane ki kshish mein khatam hue
ishq mein itna jurmana to padta hain

sab fasile hote nahi sikke uchal ke
ye dil ke mamle hain zara dekh bal ke
mobileo ke daur ke ahshiq ko kya pata
rakte the khat mein kaleja nikal ke

murda lohe se bhi auzar banae wale,
apne ansoon ko bhi hathiyaar banane wale,
humko bekar samajhte hai siyasadna magar
hum hain is mulq ki sarkar banane wale

jo waqt ki andhi se khabar dar nahi hai,
kuch aur hi hoga wo wo kalankar nahi hai,

sada ye hain neende cheen li dono ki ankhon se,
khata ye thi ki dono ne milkar khwab dekha,

pyar jab jism ki cheekho mein dafan ho jaye
odni is taraf uljhe ki kafan ho jaye
ghar ke aisas jab bazar ki sharto mein dhale
ajnabi log jab hamrah ban ke sath chale
labon se asman tak sabki dua chubh jaye
bheed ka sor jab kano ke pass ruk jaye
sitam ki mari hui waqt ki in ankhin mein
nami ho lakh magar fir bhi muskurayeinge
andhere waqt mein bhi geet gayenge

log kehte rahein is raat ki subah hi nahi
keh de suraj ki rosni ka tajurba hi nahi
wo ladaye ko bhale aar par le jayen
loha le jaye wo lohe ki dhar le jaye
jiski chaukhat se taraju tak ho unpar girwi
us adalt mein hamein bar bar le jaye
hum agar gunguna bhi denge to wo sab ke sab
humko kagaz se hara kar bhi har jayenge
andhere waqt mein bhi geet gayen jayenge

Suno patna ki galiyon se, suno dilli ki galiyon se
ye awazein bhi aati, jinhein bhaise charnai thi wo sarkaar chalati hain


Rang duniya ne dikhaya hai nirala to nirala dekhu….
hai andhere me ujala to ujala dekhu…
Aaina Rakh de mere hath par, aakhir mai bhi…
kaisa lagta hai tera chahne wala dekhu….
Aur jiske aangan se khule the saare raaste,
uss haweli par kaise taala dekhu…






Jad ki muskan

Ek din tane ne bhi kaha tha - (Jad = root Tana= Stem Daal = Branch, etc)
Jad? Jad to jad hi hai
Jivan se sada dari rahi hai
aur yahi hai uska sara itihas
ki zameen me muh gadaye padi rahi hai
Lekin mai zameen se upar utha,
bahar nikala, badha hu, majboot bana hu.
Esi se to tana hu.
Ek din daalo ne bhi kaha tha -
Tana? kis baat par hai tana?
Jaha bithaal diya gaya tha,
wahin par hai bana.
Pragatisheel jagati me til bhar nahi dola hai
khaya hai, motaya hai, sehlaya chola hai
Lekin hum tane se futi,
Deesha Deesha me gayi,
upar uthi, neehe aayi,
har hawa ke liye dol bani, laharai.
Esi se to Daal kehlayin.
Ek din pattiyo ne bhi kaha tha -
Daal? Daal me kya hai kamaal?
Mana wah jhoomi, jhuki, doli hai.
Dhwanipradhan duniya me
ek shabd bhi wah kabhi boli hai?
Lekin hum har-har swar karti hai..
Murmur swar marm bhara bharti hai.
Nutan har warsh hui,
Pathjhar me jhar,
Bahar phut phir chahartin hai..
Vithkit chitta panthi ka shap tap harti hai.
Ek din phoolo ne bhi kaha tha -
Pattiyan? Pattiyon ne kya kiya?
Sankhya k bal par bas daalo ko chap diya.
Daalo ke bal par hi chal chapal rahi hai,
Hawao ke bal par hi machal rahi hai.
Lekin hum apne se khule, khile ,phule ,hai
Rang liye, Ras liye, parag liye,
Bhramro ne aakar hamare gun gaye hai,
hum par boraye hai.
Sab ki sun payi hai,
Jad Muskayi hai.
