INSPIRATIONAL

A little fanciful thought it is,

Not going to cease.

A doubtful touch of furious fire,

whether it is going to burn or heal.

Never let your calling die,

Put your spark always in rejoice.

live that zeal with privilege,

which may have a  legacy by its side.

The other side

Sunset and shinning light
And one voice from inside,

Hoping for a farewell from
the heaven's side,

When twilight comes swiftly
into the paradise,

There is  a door which i could see,

have a path to the other side.

WHEN THE BLOOD IN YOUR VEINS TURNED TO BLUE

When the blood in your veins turned to blue, 
Think once is that turning to make you new. 
  
The chains of circulation probably finding no way to move, 
when it stops pumping your heart,You got to know the transformations  
when you feel the zeal of frozen veins. 

The hidden craven you will meet you in that hue, 
no matter you would love to live, no matter you would fight to be in red, 
when your blood in the veins turned to blue,  
all the colors conspires in you. 

Maharaja Agarasen's Baoli lost its historical records.

  Maharaja Agarsen's Baoli

 AGARSEN or Ugarsen ki Baoli is an ancient historical master  piece constructed by Maharaja Agarsen during the Mahabharata epic. Maharaja Agarsen was known for his compassion and benevolence. It is believed that Maharaja Agarsen is the forefather of the Hindu community “Agarwal”. Baoli or Bauri was  chiefly constructed for the preservation of pure water , it was also a source of getting  fresh underground water . Unfortunately, the historical records of the monument were lost.

It is believed that this historical monument was constructed during the 14^th century.  The magnificent  structure captivates every eye, the step wells are quite welcoming to the ends of the different chambers. I was surprised that very few people were aware of its historical background. Eventually, I was stunned while standing on the middle of the Baoli and was thinking that how this architecture is still taking breath in the midst of the city? As this monument is designated as a protected monument by the Archeological  Survey of India (ASI), they say it is protected. But the building is so stinking, there is no water anymore. Some beautiful parts of the step wells and the chambers are deteriorating.

I was also amazed by looking at the stamps made by some Mougal Kings, i assume ! Because Why any Hindu architecture used such symbols ? Or this was the sign of destruction of ancient history.

The drops of the mystic rains

 The drops of the mystic rains,
  above the floor of my pains.
The lovely spring is singing again,
 I am still wandering in my pains.

The drops of the mystic rains,
enters so calmly into world of my pains.
Telling me to refrain from the spring,
Into  the memories,
Into the shadows of the drops that are so insane.

The drops of the mystic rains,
into the love of my heart.
Standing at a small corner, gazing me !
where the life is drenched in the rains.

THE POWER OF FORGIVENESS

THE POWER OF FORGIVENESS

It would be very philosophical if i say “Forgiveness gives you peace within you’’ Yes, it is indeed true and everyone out there know this kind virtue but how many of us actually forgive those people and events which had  left a deep pain in our hearts. I think very few are there who really forgive. Forgiveness is  dexterity, it can only be understand after removing grudges from the heart. A contented feelings of light hearted.

We humans beings are really captivating souls, our captivation only works when we are true to ourselves. A person who is loaded with past events that could made him not to step forward in his life means he couldn’t forgave those bad events or people by whom he was attached and now distract. Many of us are still struggling with our past, our carrier, our family, our broken relationships or friendships. We humans are never ready to face the sudden frown. When something bad happened to us, we became sceptical. Life is never going to happen as you wanted, because it has its own flux. When life changes its flux, it removes many dear ones and close thing apart and we could not take it.  It seems very annoying at a particular time. We can’t handle the situations and started blaming those events or people, because we don’t have another option left and we does this because we wanted to assure ourselves.

In reality, a never ending feeling of grudge takes place  into our souls. A feeling of hatred. I tell you, this negative energy of grudge lowers the intellectual  level and it doomed your real persona.

Rather than hating or blaming someone or something we should  understand that if someone gave you bad memories, he would have give you the good ones also. If something or someone hurt you, it is because you gave them the authority to be fussy on you.  But, don’t worry! Rather than thinking and repenting on past, forgive those events or people in your life.  When you tried your level best to improvise the events in your life in the past still it had left a bad impact on you, then its better to get free from all the nuisance?  Isn’t is right to empty your mind and heart. Our purpose is not to stay here for all the centuries, we really have less time to love or forgive others.

Forgiveness has an absolute powers, it makes you strong and worthy. Promises are fragile, words are just words, then why to think over such events that are never going to happen once again in your life. The chaos of bad experiences made you more beautiful human being.  Forgive people not for them, it is for your strength. Let it go and cherish the time and people who are in your live, spread love and care in the air of universe, it will come back to  you for sure !

Forgiveness recognizes your thoughts. It brings a new dawn in you and makes you positive and happy !

NO FRIENDSHIP WITH PAKISTAN

The rising tension between India and Pakistan

Ever since partition, India, Pakistan and China have been arch rivals, there is no ray of any friendly relations with these countries. India had tried to maintain the harmony in between INDO-PAK relations. During these several years, numerous militant groups has emerged and the ideology of ISLAM have taken birth and is still lingering on as “JEHAD” which is terrorism ! Indo-Pak relations have deteriorated, there is no spunk of friendship is alive and  the idea of wars have been prevailing since partition.

Why Indian government is numb on  invading  of Pakistan and China in Indian terrotry? Simultaneously our deaf and dumb government is facing a strong criticism at home for not responding even to its people. The tactics played by China over Ladakh and Pakistani attackers are more open to attack Kashmir, Poonch, Rajouri or the  LOC in no time ! Renewed tensions between India, Pakistan and China could significantly enhance the anger .

Why we forget that “KASHMIR” is the burning issue since 1947, Who should rule Kashmir? Remains in conflict though we all know Kashmir is the part of India, then why the heck international or national authorities made it the world’s grim issue, which is still unsolved??  Inspite of taking some strict measures our numb government remains silent on the attacks over India. Line of Control dividing the state of Jammu and Kashmir to ease tension, and both the countries have fought two wars over its control.

The main question is : Why Indian government is still  not responding ?

1. Who is going to accept the responsibility of terror attacks, Our numb government?
2. When they respond vigorously to the terrorist attacks by Pakistan and invaded by China?
3. Strong action would be taken by India in the matter of “No more friendly relations with Pakistan”.
4. Attacks on Indian army is like killing the soul of India, which can’t be bearable.
5. The cold war in between China and India is on and still our government is blindfolded by knowing the consequences would be.
6. Why India only accuse Pakistani Troops for beheading or killing soldiers, Don’t this country have any decision making power?
7. India should understand “Pakistani Mentality ‘’,they can’t be friends with India.
8. Ban Indo-Pak cricket games/sports.
9. Ban on trade and India should stop helping Pakistan.
10. India is actually exploited by our own politicians/leaders.

India must act without troubling itself. America is no one to deal with this issue, when our country is on the ebb of destruction . We can see China and Pakistan is ready for war once again with India. No one want to face this destruction again, then it is essential to take some significant steps towards CHINA AND PAKISTAN.

JUGNOON KA BASERA

Kisi jungle main jugunoon ka beserra hua karta tha...

Woh Sab jugnoo be aaj khud ki roshni tallash rahe honge..

Tim-timate, rang-bringe roshni se bare peele rang woh..

Udathe hue tare hua katre the...

Na zameen par, na aakash par

Roshni ka woh chota sa besera hawa main hua karta tha...

Ek roz apni khidki se dekha tha maine..

Samne ka woh  muddaton purna ped,vjo peele roshni main dhoob raha tha...

Koyale se kali raat main bhala itni chamak jo the....

Par na jane woh jugnon ka beserra  kahan kho gaya...

Ab ped be khada khada thak gaya hai...

Aachanak kaha gaya woh pelle roshni wala jugnoon ka beserra..

Kho gaya shayd....!

Har roz muje intezaar rehta hai us roshni ka..

Har din apni khidki se dekhta us udaass ped ko...

Neerash, aandhere ki chaadar main gum-sum sa khada rehta hai aab..

DOGRA HERITAGE MUBHARAK MANDI PALACE

MUBARAK MANDI HERITAGE COMPLEX

Just to recode the flair of the historic background, a little awareness and love for heritage is needed !

When you walk along the sides of the majestic walls of the ancient Dogra heritage, you can smell the fragrance of royalty !! 

The broken windows  and  tired doors were once used to enjoy royal events and processions . Mubarak Mandi Complex, was once the residence of the rulers of the Dogra Dynasty. This is one of the ancient structure in Jammu which is over  150 years old that is recognized for its grandeur and beauty. The Mubharak Mandi Complex was divided into several different sections during  the time of Dogra rulers, which is unfortunately vanish.  The history has not been restored to  save our  cultural aesthetics, which have been dying quietly since years. Our government did not do their duties properly , our agencies keep on saying that renovation is going on to preserve our ancient heritage but it doesn't match the reality on the ground. Is it enough to re- built the structure? What about the real exquisite architecture?  And one more question has to be asked by our government, Why didn't you recognize MUBHARAK MANDI COMPLEX has been deteriorating since years ?

 Instead of preserving Dogra heritage building, the government was waiting  till it was converted into wreck.

Although the transformation is going on and we can say, it might be an amazing blend of ancient and modern architecture.The government is somehow, protecting  Jammu's precious and valuable heritage, so that people  should not feel that the government is  bleak or cold. No doubt, a massive conservation plan for rebuilding the ancient heritage is on, Despite that we would not be able to get the real traditional /cultural authenticity that we had in past in which  we can feel  the realm of our great Dogra rulers. Today we know that our heritage with the invasion of modern touch is vague, it is just about  "Preservation of the heritage".

We can’t go back to the past from our being , but we can go forward and can aware our generations, we can’t be the mute spectators or either watch our heritage turning into rubble, we can at least contribute in spreading the  knowledge, love and the significance of our ancient heritage. The need is to involve local crowd whose identity is shaped by the heritage and a future has no sense without the account of aesthetic  and  cultural value.  

We can open the windows of the complex with  pride and can proudly say that we have a rich historic background, if we would take a single step forward,not purely depended on the government to act !

Fragrance

FIRE

Fire is the eternal one,We all have sparks in us,
 It is the essence of soul, a mighty soul.
Fire is the mirror of the final procession,
where we will become one with it.
Fire is the way to a new beginning,
a new dawn.

sun and lake

sunset  at dal lake,Kashmir

All the calm is waiting at the shore of twilight 

Just to set with a new hope...

UNSEEN THOUGHTS

I wish i could hold the running thoughts,

I only know i could recall,

They are bright or dim.

The secret’s are surrounding me,

In their arms

Whose lap  is waiting ? Who would narrate those old stories ?

Perhaps one day , while sitting on the banks , the unseen thoughts would knock

In a free voice, In a false sleep..

The everlasting hide and seek , kept running as unseen thoughts.

They are eternity

Years will pass in a blink,

 In every mood, In every sound...

Unseen images would hold tight and reminds to recall.

LIBASS

Kiss libaas mai wajood ki raakh ko chupa kar rakhu,

Har libaas iss aaks se waqhif hai,

Qissa ho ya kahani ...

Sab ki ek si zabaan hai..

In libasson se pare hai ek aur libaas,

Jo dul- mitti mai lipta pada hai,

Jiski wajood ki raakh ...

 na hawa mai behti hai ,na barish mai gulti hai

 aur na he miti mai  milti hai.

Uljay hue libaason  ke tamam kisse hain,

ab hare ek ka wajood raakh lagta hai...

Naye libass ka kora kapda bhala ab kya rangeen ho payega..

wajood ki raakh toh har libaas se waqif hai

Kis libass mai wajood ki raakh ko chupa kar rakhu,
har libass iss aaks se waakif hai..

Like a rainbow after the strom

Feelings are beyond expressions

This touch has a story to tell

This touch has a breeze of love all around us

Just need to hold your hand in mine

I would run across the mountains

I would like to listen the sweet whispers of this touch

And let these tender feelings alive forever !!!!

REELECTIONS OF LIFE

REFLECTIONS  OF LIFE

It is not hard to express the world of feelings,

The feelings of sorrow and pains,

The feelings of love and passions,

Sufferings  of life, rejoices in pride,

Someone is decorating  a  new pathway,

Showing the tempting reflections..

That are the reflections of life..

In the water..

In the rain...

On the soil...

Just a reflection of new moon is kissing on your hands,

Building a deep faith within,

The reflections of the sunny skies over the heads,

Filled the emptiness

Everyday sun is fading , everyday it  illuminates ,

Everyday thing has reflections,

These are the reflections of life..

In the water..

In the rain...

In the dawning  faith...

The perfect shades on the doors..

Opening wide the way to the shore.....
