Humanity is my religion...

As I observe obsessive reactions to recent terror attacks...it concerns me...

Are we taking that crossroad yet again, which we have been trying to divulge from a time that has spanned over more than half a century...?

Are we going to make this a "Religion" issue yet again...?

Are we letting vested interests captialize on this issue and play with human lives yet again...?

Are we going to let ourselves weak at the time of national crisis...?

I fear that some obsessive reactions may wake up weak...distressed minds...

I share the grief with the Nation...
I condole for the loss of human lives...

...but I shall emerge stronger...united...and responsible...

...I shall not let this anger take over my soul in the direction of self destruction...

...but I shall use this anger in a constructive manner for a better tomorrow for my country...my fellow citizens and myself...

If "Religion" is to obsessively react...wake up and fight for our rights in the name of "Religion"...Such a fight is nothing but degradation of humanity...

We are Indians and even before that we are Humans...who just care for mankind and peaceful co-existance of mankind...

We need to think laterally right here...right now...We need to bring about that rational change...Change is always for better...

...that change for betterment of Mankind is the need of the hour...

...We need to believe we are at safe hands...
...We need to walk through our streets fearlessly...
...We need to be let enjoy a happy meal with our friends and family...

..National security is the SOS call today that need to be addressed by the nation...

On yet another topic...as I flip through statistics...my heart weeps...

43% of world's population who are below poverty line(<1.42Dollars a day) are in India...76% of the people in India earn probably less than 2 Dollars a day...Isnt such things more important to tackle than worry about rights of Muslims and Hindus.
It might be worth analysing if any of our neighbours are dealing with such problems better than us and adopt a few to improvise things...than engage in a war with our neighbours...

As educated *Indians*..its our responsibility not to futher encourage our politicians to think on the lines of religion...but highlight more important issues to work on...Many a times its we citizens who bring up religious issues and force the govt to deal with it. There have been Politicians who have used such issues only for their benefit. People have been victims either way...first of their weak and narrow minds and second at the hands of selfish politicians(some)

Given a choice between Survival of Religion and Survival of Humanity...Any sensible humanbeing would choose the latter...

Religion is personal belief...and let that be...It makes no sense to make it a political issue...

We have all seen the result of provocation...Its sad state of affairs in some part of Govt Policies...No one denies it...

My thought is simple...and a little different...

I would not question the Government that I am "X...belonging to "y" religion" and will I be granted special privileges in state "abc"..Then some "p" will raise an objection...I get provoked...I get more distressed people to support me and so does the other...one day we will all see ourselves with clubs...swords and RDX on streets...Result: Innocent people being killed...over petty personal issues...

Someone needs to put a full stop to all this...Provocation has been one of the root causes for all personal beliefs transforming into country's shame...

I still choose not to think and answer question by questions raised out of obsessive reactions...as its just the result of provocation...

I'd rather blow up issues like national security...poverty...curruption...malnutrition...basic education...basic facilities for under-priviledged...unemployment...population control...health facilities...inflation...and moving onto issues in urban areas like infrastructure...quality of life etc...

I am just trying to divert the whole topic from Haj subsidies to More important things to be addressed...If we are successful in keeping the govt busy on such issues...I bet they(sensible politicians) would not have time to think on the lines of religion...There might a handful who will still weed...but they need to be handled...

We would be probably left with just two categories based on which there could and should be some policies made..."Privileged" and "Under-priviledged" totally based on economic status...A under-priviledged who one day turned into a millionaire and then his children claiming medical seats based on "Heriditary-Under-priviledged status" makes no sense...Policies must be based on facts than inherited status characteristics...

For all those who are wondering what material I am made of ....that after such having experienced the face of terror point blank...can I still be tolerant?

I am not taking shelter under a "Tolerent" umbrella...I choose to enjoy a dance in the rain :-)...simple pleasures missed out...Humanity getting sabotaged under the umbrella of religion...caste...creed...color...etc not asked for at the time when country is admist the crisis...to deal with natural calamities and terrorism...

Vande Mataram...Jai Hind...

A token of rememberence...

They lived...

As the Greenwich Mean Time clock hands kiss to roll the calendar date to this eventful day...

.....the love birds are chirping to sing for you on your birthday and wish... you fly high...soar high in your endeavours...

....the stars are shining bright to wish you celebration in every moment of your prosperous future...

...there is just one voice...one message... all around this blue planet...wishing you a joyous birthday...

The brightest sunrise is here to stay…all along the day…as our souls meet each other on our lips…for a celebration of love…

A day we would spend all day long in each others arms…
…our hearts beating to the rhythm of our love…
…our lips locked in the seventh heaven of paradise…

As you walked down the aisle majestically towards me…
…my world turned lush green with breathtaking view all over…

…Come close to me…this day…
…let me kiss those eyes that make me feel beautiful…
…let me kiss those hands that has its touch of grace on me…
…let me kiss the heart that’s my peaceful abode…
…let me kiss those lips that has kissed and evoked the most priceless emotions in me…
…let me kiss you my love…

Come close to me my love…Cant you see…
…my hair waiting for your fingers to be flipping through it…
…my heaving body that is longing to be held by you…
…my craving lips waiting to be kissed by you…
…my weary soul waiting to be taken to love…

My love...come and complete me today…

Living a life that matters doesn't happen by accident. It's not a matter of circumstance but of choice. And I have chosen on this D-Day to live a life with you…in your arms…a life that matters…so one day the history pages can proudly say…

...”THEY LIVED…”

Enigma...

I love to hate you...because you gave me soo much pain...
...but do you know that it is only you who can kiss this pain off...

I love to hate you...for you made me cry...
...but do you know that it is only you who can bring back that smile on to me...

I love to hate you...for you betrayed me...
...but do you know that if at all I can ever trust again...it will be only YOU!

I love to hate you...for you got me to hate you...
...but do you know that it takes only you to get me to fall in love all over again...

I love to hate you...for I lost hope...
...but do you know it takes only to revive this hope...

I love to hate you...for I lost peace...
...but do you know that the lost peace is in your arms...

Isnt it strange that I love to hate you....but all I want to be doing the rest of my life is to just LOVE YOU

for ever and ever and ever...

Kuch Kum Roshan Hai Roshni, Kuch Kum Gili Hai Baarishein..
Kuch Kum Lehrathi Hai Hawa, Kuch Kum Hai Dil Mein Kwahishein..
Tham Sa Gaya Hai, Yeh Waqt Aise, Tere Liya Hi Tehra Ho Jaise..


Kyun Meri Saans Bhi, Kuch Bhiki Si Hai
Dooriyon Se Huyie, Nazdiki Si Hai
Jaane Kya, Yeh Baath Hai
Har Subha, Aab Raat Hai..

Kuch Kum Roshan Hai Roshni, Kuch Kum Gili Hai Baarishein..
Kuch Kum Lehrathi Hai Hawa, Kuch Kum Hai Dil Mein Kwahishein..
Tham Sa Gaya Hai, Yeh Waqt Aise, Tere Liya Hi Tehra Ho Jaise

Phool Mehke Nahin, Kuch Gumsum Se Hai
Jaise Roothe Huwe, Kuch Yeh Tumse Hai
Khusbooien Dhal Gayi, Saath Tum Aab Jo Nahin..

Kuch Kum Roshan Hai Roshni, Kuch Kum Gili Hai Baarishein..
Tham Sa Gaya Hai, Yeh Waqt Aise, Tere Liya Hi Tehra Ho Jaise..

...There is no life on this dusky planet...

...I am here waiting for you...come and take me to love...

If birds can sing after a storm...why cant we...

If I were given a chance to erase and relive a part of my life...that would be the dark nights spent on the dusky planet...oblivious of the unaccountable loss...

A lost love...lost warmth...lost support system...lost music of life...lost comradery...lost smile...lost peace...lost happiness...lost life that was worth living...

I wake up after a dark night...a leap year long of darkness in ambivalence ...

...Wake up into this blue planet...into a bright sunny morning...

...I hear the birds chirping and ask myself...

If birds can sing after storm , why cant we...


On that note...I turn to you like a Sunflower yearning for light and energy from the presumptious Sun...
It almost feels at home ...now...at this moment...continuing from last year...after taking a crossroad that ought not taken...
I am smiling at you...I know it takes a while for you to smile back...
...but I am sure it will be worth the wait...


All I want to say is...


"Tu muskura jahan bhi hai tu muskura,
Tu dhoop ki tarah badan ko choo zara,
Sharir si yeh muskurhatein teri,
Badan mein sunti hu mein aahatein teri,
Labon se aake choo de apne lab zara,

Aisa hota hai khayalon mein aksar,
Tujhko sochu to mehek jaati hu,
Meri rooh mein bassi hai teri khushbu,
Tujhko choo lu to behek jaati hu,
Teri aankhon mein, teri aankhon mein,
Koi to jadoo hai, tu muskura,
Jahan bhi hai tu muskura,
Tu muskura jahan bhi hai tu muskura,
Tu dhoop ki tarah badan ko choo zara,
Sharir si yeh muskurhatein teri,
Badan mein sunti hu mein aahatein teri..

Tez chalti hai hawaon ki saasein,
Mujhko bahon mein lapet ke chupa le,
Teri aankhon ki haseen nooriyon mein,
Mein badan ko bichau, tu sula le,
Teri aankhon mein, teri aankhon mein,
Koi to nasha hai, tu muskura,
Jahan bhi hai tu muskura,

Tu muskura jahan bhi hai tu muskura,
Tu dhoop ki tarah badan ko choo zara,
Sharir si yeh muskurhatein teri,
Badan mein sunti hu mein aahatein teri.."
