Buland Khayal

धूप सी पड़ी तो कमज़ोर पड़ गए
वह बुलंद ख्याल बेमाहॉल पड़ गए

बंद कमरे में रौशनी से चिलमिला गए
इन रातों की शायरी से जगमगा गए

शहरयार ने जो समां बंधा
साहिल में बह गए।

शहरों की हड़बड़ी में घुल के रह गए
इस रात का जलज़ा ओढ़ा तो नहीं था

सुबह की नर्मियों में मोमबत्तियों से बह गए

Marketing ka Halwa

Har admi marketing ka halwa bana ke dusre ke halak mein dale ja raha hae … Bura haal hae… Marketing is certainly not what it wanted to be, today if you measure marketing on its own brand prism, it would indeed lie defeated on all counts. Every 1 person enterprise has a marketing budget these days, translated as money spent on consumer nuisance and harassment.

Does it all really account to more sales or just more NOISE? Leave apart the insaneness of...

Magazines like Cosmopolitan and others treat it like a game, giving weird tips such as don't make your guy feel like your'e too into him, don't always make yourself available, don't give surprise gifts... But then by playing all this hard to get, do you actually keep the romance alive? Surprise, when you get to books and articles which talk about how to bring back the spark in your relationship they speak about the same things in a definite U turn, Give surprises, be there for each other, make yourself available etc, I think love has not changed, what has changed is the intrinsic human core, from the generosity of our grand parents to the miserliness of the teenagers, each human now wants to know what he can get from the other before even squeezing a lemon drop of a favor for the other. Which is why each relation has changed to be...

Loneliness

No matter how many movies i see, outings i arrange, friends i meet, food i eat, mags i read, or posts i write. My mind is lonely, like a lost icy seagull alone on the shore, i thought il get over it so i write some more. But the human mind is so designed that it can be lonely even when deeply engaged, is there a kinship i can create? With myself coz none is there in these private moments im stil aware, no one like me of me for me by me, im unique and everyone else is too, is that why we are so lonely , me and u?
