এই আমার প্রেম কাহিনি

 নিশী রাতে মুখটি যেন চোখে ভেসে যায়

মেতে ওঠে মন কেন বুঝিতে না পায়...

চারিদিকে ছড়িয়ে রয়েছে ঘন কুহেলিকা

আমরা দুই জন এবং সরসীর মাঝে নৌকা 

মাতাল হয়ে ওঠে মন যেন শীতল হাওয়ায়...

বোধ হয় দোরে যেন কেউ সাড়া দিয়েছে 

মন ক্লান্ত আছে তাও দেহ উঠে পড়েছে

চোখ খুলে দেখি হঠাৎ হল সে বিদায়...

বোধ হয় ভালোবাসা

তুমি কি এলে ছড়িয়ে গেল কুয়াশা
অদৃশ্য তাও বোধ হয় ভালোবাসা
নিবিড় বনে যেন হারিয়েছে আকাশ
এই দুটি চোখ দিয়ে ফুটেছে প্রকাশ
সামনে এলে কি হবে ভাবি পরিণতি
নির্দিষ্ট য়দি এই নয় আমার আপত্তি
কি বলি আমার কোন অভিজ্ঞতা ণেই
গেঁথে গেল মনে যে আমি পূজি সেই

बेहतर है फ़ासला

मीलों चले और चलना है अभी
बारहा जीना ओ मरना है अभी
मिलेंगे राह में कितने मोड़ तुम्हें
रख हौसला चल न रुकेंगे अभी
इसे मंज़िल नहीं समझ ऐ दिल
फ़ासले तय करने हैं और अभी
क़रीब आने से बेहतर है फ़ासला
यही सीखा है हमने अभी-अभी

It's All In The Mind

National Youth Day 2022: January 12

"It's all in the mind"-the theme of National Youth Day 2022. Absolutely yes. All in the mind.
The youth contains immeasurable power with in, considered to be a vital force. Which has been exploited from time to time.This class is indeed a powerhouse, but lacks in conscience and driven away easily. Obviously, runs after emotion,being influenced.
Mostly the politicians exploit the youth to serve their purpose. Without thinking the pros and cons, this vital force gets driven by the opportunists.
However, the current generation is much smarter and wiser than the predecessors. Still miles to go. They must be aware enough to analyse and calculate the situation. Should learn to use instead of being merely used.

Tears- Even Created

Even an emotional scene or situation (though created) leads to break down. Do provoke the inner cells vehemently to outburst the feelings accumulated inside.

In a way, it might be taken a certain force for survival. It helps the most, the introvert persons, who are quite unable to express their feelings and reaction even at the gravest moment.

Notwithstanding, there are several circumstances in a life to leave one perplexed. Though neither is spared. Some have one at their side to boost them up, obviously some do not. The question is what about the later. Definitely an endless tunnel.
In the course of time, the shocks and humiliations gathered for a long period turn to be perilous. Might lead to a dire consequence, resulting to heart attack or brain haemorrhage or else.
So, shedding tears, by any means, seems to be a vital force for survival.

From A Call To Retrospect

After an age-long hiatus, receiving a call from someone intimate, is immensely thrilling. Numerous quests and responses click in the mind simultaneously. Besides, it drags one in the state of retrospection.
It takes one to a queer position. Where plaintiff, accused and certainly the judge, all are present in the same person. A bewildering situation indeed.
In retrospection, the faults, misdeeds and avoidable committed come to fore in a flash. These facts cover the whole mind leaving no space for others.
Subsequently, introspection occupies it's place thereafter. Various feelings and emotions start dribbling, leaving one in a state of an inept. Subconsciousness becomes active. All the happenings emerge one by one, leaving one bemused.
The session of repentance begins thereafter. The happenings and events compel one to analyse the facts and figures. This situation relevantly spares some time to analyse those.
‌Rest depends on one, either taking seriously or nonchalantly.

सईद ज़ाफरी : पर्दे पर चुकायी उधार

जन्मदिन-8 जनवरी

कहते हैं कि ख़ुद को प्यार करने वाला ही दूसरों को प्यार दे सकता है. इसे तय मानने पर कभी-कभी मन सोचने के लिए बाध्य कर देता है. कुछ ऐसे ही दौर से नामचीन अभिनेता सईद ज़ाफ़री को निजी ज़िन्दगी में ग़ुज़रना पड़ा था. चुनांचे, ज़्यादातर फिल्मों में उन्हें प्यार बांटते या समस्याओं को सुलझाते देखा गया है.

बहरहाल, अदाकारी की दुनिया में उनकी सानी नहीं थी. अपने अभिनय पर ऐसी सान चढ़ाते कि दर्शकों को 'पात्र' ही दिखता और 'वह' ग़ुम हो जाते. फिल्म "चश्म-ए-बद्दूर" के पनवाड़ी 'लल्लन मियां' को ही ले लें. बेरोजगारी का दर्द महसूस करने के साथ ही अपना बकाया वसूलने के लिए किसी की छीछालेदर करने से भी बाज नहीं आते.

वहीं, फिल्म "किसी से न कहना" के उस 'लालाजी' को भला भूल सकता है कोई? अपने एक मित्र के बेटे की प्रेम-संबंध की गुत्थी बखूबी सुलझायी. फिल्म "शतरंज के खिलाड़ी" के 'मीर साहब' की तो बात ही क्या!

बहरहाल, उनकी अदाकारी तो बेमिसाल थी ही. शायद अपनी आपबीती की ख़लिश उनकी जेहन के किसी कोने में मौजूद रही होगी जिसे पर्दे पर उतारकर जी हल्का कर लेते होंगे.

Irrfan : A Matchless Actor

Birth Anniversary : January 07 

Indeed an effervescent person Irrfan Khan was! Instead of playing a character, he himself lived it. He was all the way glowing. He played any kind of role very efficiently as well as spontaneously.
Either acting a goon or a rebel, the intensity of the character beamed out of his whole body. In a sense, Irrfan was a  huge container of characters. Just take one out and put on.
In "Qarib Qarib Single", he begins snoring amid talking with someone on phone. It seemed just natural, not acting. Irrfan justified the characters he played. Be it "Paan Singh Tomar" or a ferocious wounded father in "Deadline-Sirf 24 Ghante", enkindled in revenge.
Whether it be a commercial cinema or parallel, played his honestly and with exuberance. Rarest of rare indeed!

She acted in number of films with many leading heroes of hindi film industry. In "Teesri Manzil", Laxmi Chhaya acted with Shammi Kapoor, who resembled Elvis Presley in song and dancing numbers. She imbued the same feelings in the viewers the role she played. Praise, disgust,hatred et al.
Whilst in "Maar Diya Jaaye Ya Chhor Diya Jaaye", a song number of film Mera Gaon Mera Desh, she was enigmatic indeed. Just beyond words. Besides, she was well compatible with comedy films as well. She played a commendable role in film Haye Mera Dil with a versatile film  personality Kishore Kumar.

नीतीश:'मौके पर चौके' का इंतज़ार

 राष्ट्रीय जनता दल (राजद) के बिहार प्रदेश अध्यक्ष जगदानंद सिंह का मुख्यमंत्री नीतीश कुमार को साथ आने का खुला आमंत्रण आख़िर किस बात का इशारा करता है? यह बात तमाम राजनेताओं, विश्लेषकों से लेकर मीडिया वीरों की जेहन में कुलबुलाने लगी होगी.

सही भी है. बिहार को विशेष राज्य का दर्जा, जातिवार जनगणना कुछ ऐसे कारक हैं, जो मुख्यमंत्री की 'अंगड़ाई' की ओर इंगित करते हैं. दिसम्बर 2021 में शुरू हुई समाज सुधार यात्रा के जरिये वह यह संदेश देने के प्रयास में हैं कि 'नशाबन्दी' पर वह पूरी तरह अडिग हैं. जातिवार जनगणना प्रकरण पर केन्द्र से मिलने गये सर्वदलीय शिष्टमंडल में  राजद भी शामिल था.

वैसे भी, 2020 में बिहार में हुए विधानसभा चुनाव में भारतीय जनता पार्टी (भाजपा) को 74 सीट और जदयू को मिली 43 सीटों से नीतीश कुमार खासे खिन्न लगते हैं. इससे पहले तो वह बिहार में 'बड़े भाई' की भूमिका में रहे हैं.

सर्वविदित है कि प्रदेश में जातिगत समीकरणों पर चुनाव लड़े और जीते जाते हैं. पिछले साल हुए विस उपचुनाव को अपवाद मान सकते हैं.

वहीं, भाजपा का अमोघ अस्त्र 'ध्रुवीकरण' ही याना जा सकता है. अमूमन हर लोकसभा-विधानसभा चुनाव में इस्तेमाल करती है. जातिगत समीकरण में भाजपा बाज़ी नहीं ही मार सकती क्योंकि इस में प्रदेश स्तर पर कोई दिग्गज नेता नहीं दिख रहे. 'संप्रदाय' और 'राष्ट्रवाद' जैसे मुद्दे भड़काना पार्टी की मजबूरी भी है.

बहरहाल, मुख्यमंत्री नीतीश कुमार के जातिगत वोट किसी अन्य जातियों की तुलना में कमतर ही हैं. लिहाजा किसी अन्य दल के साथ गठबंधन करना उनकी भी बाध्यता है. अगला लोकसभा चुनाव 2024 में है जबकि बिहार विधानसभा चुनाव वर्ष 2025 में है. तबतक राजनीतिक परिदृश्य में कितनी तस्वीरें उभरेंगी और डूबेंगी.

Bhagalpur Airport: Pride & Prejudice

 

In comparison to fortune, the list of misfortune much longer for Bhagalpur, the city number 2 of #Bihar. A septuagenarian can draw a vivid picture explaining the the fate of this unfortunate town. Which was once a commissionary extended to the border of Malda, a district town of West Bengal.

However, the town enjoyed the flight facility in 1960s. After a year or two Most of the time this ancient is cheated and suffered lethargic attitude of the successive political leaders. In the year 2002-2003, an effort was made again. There was National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government at the Centre then.

There appeared an ego problem which turned the effort to ashes. The question was to curtail the surrounding residential complexes. Which could have been considered amicably. But the ego problem distorted all.

Coincidentally, the both leaders belonged to the same political party. The state leader, who represented Bhagalpur assembly constituency, held several important portfolios later. Neither development the city witnessed during his tenure.

Life Amid Passwords

 Password has become an integral part of the life. Digitalization of most of the services provided to the people has created a hassle.

Whether be it internet banking, online transactions or other services, all have been linked to internet. The rapid growth of technology has brought problems rather risk with it too. So can't be taken as secured.

Hacking and cloning are some of those critical problem. In a fraction of error there comes  hazardous consequence. Number of such cases have emerged. Even celebrities aren't spared. To obtain security, password after password is created.

As a result, one is surrounded with bunch of passwords. Again, there comes an important instruction (may say suggestion) to change the passwords fortnightly (at least). Still not secured. 

On The Verge Of Collapse

 SulliDeals, BulliBai, LoveZihaad. Such terms are mostly in the news these days, Sometimes inter community and within community as well. Vitiating the society gradually but steadily. 

In fact, these terms are originating from the politics. Apart from the communal polarization, online women dealings type propagandas spreading are in continuity. It simply indicates such unruly activities are well managed. 

It absolutely reminds about the the slavery which was prevalent in the past. Though we claim to be advance enough but obnoxious thinking absolutely seems to be persistent. .

The elements like social bonding, love and compassion,mutual respect, communal harmony seem to be replaced with illusion and certainly fanaticism. The saying 'man is a social animal' almost eroding. Life is at stake and the sociality at the verge of collapse. 

New Year And Omen

Indeed, the day began with a chilly morning. The chill was aggravated with Vaishno Devi stampede claiming 12 precious lives. Rest days of the year can just be assumed.
In fact, there is a saying that 'first impression is the last impression'. An ' omen' also justifies it. The existing environment of the country confirm it too. Thus, one is complete to assume the situation there after.
However, the country is surviving Corona Virus, though worldwide, since last two years. After Delta, the Omicron variant is spreading steadily. The second wave was just horrible The life has gone perilous.
Besides, the political leaders,too, are not leaving any stone unturned to make their ends meet. One among the precautionary protocols of the pandemic, social distancing, is used by the politicos drastically. Deeply engaged in dividing society and communities. Brotherhood in the country is diminishing.
Won't be irrelevant to conclude with it that the whole country is in shambles.
