Think Beyond Numbers

We are growing up with constantly chasing various kinds of numbers. We think and act while keeping numbers always in mind. I don't deny the importance of numbers, but life is far larger than numbers. Knowingly or unknowingly we are so entangled with the numbers that everything we try and express in numbers. We count likes, shares and views on social media. We tend to feel depressed if people don't like our selfies. Sometimes we can't help, a student's performance is measured in numbers, employee's and even company's ranking is decided with targets in numbers and the list goes on. A mere running after numbers and ignoring true happiness will make you imbalanced.

There is an ocean of data and numbers around us and everybody by default follows some set of data either related or unrelated to him. Many of us follow these as if we are not left with any other option or we have such apprehensions in our minds. Prolonged chasing of numbers certainly creates stress and it has to be managed by differentiating what is meaningful, worthwhile and what's not.

Think beyond numbers, there are many things in life where counting is not important. Few of them are:

Feelings
              Emotions
                              Gratitude
                                             Values
                                                        Vision
                                                                   Respect
                                                                                Love

and lots more aspects of real life, all these, we can't afford to ignore. This is an info tech age, and we are bound to remain with numbers, but by being cautious we can weed out excessive numbers and make our life happier, balanced and effective too.

Journey Towards Innerself

My inner journey is taking me to places which are strange and totally unknown. There are challenges and manifestations. The path is sometimes cozy and difficult at other times.

Massive revelations, new horizons, and stellar black holes are being experienced as I advance and cross billions of galaxies. Everything is amazing and unique. My perceptions and beliefs which were drawn since many births are reshaping and leading to the complete overhaul.

The soul is really eternal and witnessing the body around it. I feel finding new definitions for everything I come across and the true calmness is apparent and sustained for longer periods. Since childhood, I heard many times that the sky is the limit, but now I can envision that sky may be only the beginning, real journey is far bigger, better and divine.

Observing and expressing in words all these simultaneously is a difficult task. The journey took me

समय की पुकार

अब सारे नियम बदल दो

ओ नेतृत्व, ससमय दखल दो।

तीर प्रत्यंचा पे चढ़ा है इस बार
धनुष कर रहा जोरो की टंकार।

वक़्त का तकाजा है
केंद्र में सामर्थ्यवान राजा है। 

सिद्ध करो पुरुषार्थ को
याद करो पार्थ को। 

करते जो विष वमन
जानले वो ऐ वतन। 

धरा के उपकारों का कर्ज

बहुत बढ़ रहा ये मर्ज। 

कुछ तो बड़ा फैसला हो
आर पार का हौसला हो। 

जयचंदो को रोंदने का समय
देश करता है अनुनय। 

सत्य को सम्बल दो
निर्बल को बल दो। 

फड़कती भुजाएँ वीर जवानों की
याद आती है फिर से बलिदानों की। 

हर चुनोती में विजय का वरण हो
गौरवशाली राष्ट्र निर्माण का
सुन्दर सा वातावरण हो
सुन्दर सा वातावरण हो।

कटाक्ष

 कटाक्ष

शराफ़त के ज़माने अब कहाँ
यूँ अकेले मत पड़ो यहाँ वहाँ।

समूहों के झुण्ड आस पास है
कोई साधारण, कोई खास है।

हर कोई खींचने की फ़िराक में
मना करो तो आ जाते आँख में।

जंगल छोड़ भेड़िये शहरों में आने लगे
सुन्दर लिबासों में शरीफों को लुभाने लगे।

ख्वाब बेचने का व्यापार चल पड़ा
लालच में हर कोई मचल पड़ा।

समूहों में हर चीज जायज हो जाती
विचारधाराएं ख़ारिज हो जाती।

नये दौर के तर्क नए , सत्य स्वयं भटक गया
इंसान इंसानियत छोड़, समूहों में अटक गया।

ईमान कम बचा , नियति तो बहुत स्पष्ट है
शिकायत किससे करे जब पूरा तन्त्र ही भ्रष्ट है।
