हम जुआरी हैं...we are gamblers

हम जुआरी हैं
एक भिन्न पृथिवि के मोनालिसा !
खुद को भूलने बैठे
रसाप्लुत साश्रुल बन...
आँखें खूले
तो समझे तभी सवेरा हुआ
जो अच्छा लगे
वही तत्त्व दर्शन...
हम हैं शाल्मलीस्थित बृद्ध जरद्गव
और हम ही हैं
चतुर दीर्घकर्ण..
शायद भूल नहीं होगी
अगर हम कहें
पूर्ण कभी नहीं था
पूर्ण से जरूर होता
जठर जाल निर्वापन..
हमारे लिए जो कुछ बचा है
वह है बना बनाया आंसू
और प्रचारधर्मी भाईचारे की
अधम उदहारण...

We are gamblers Monalisa
Of a different ecosystem
We forget ourselves
Being emotionally charged...
When eyes open
We treat it as dawn
Whatever we like
We take it as the truth...
We are the old Jaradgava vulture on the Great Ceiba tree
And we are the clever cat Dirghakarna..
Probably, we will not be that wrong
If we say
Never was it full
Because
Had it been full
Our hunger would have ceased since long ..
What's left for us is
False tears
And the worst example of
Propagandistic fraternity

Films and derogatory portrayal of women.

Films and derogatory portrayal of women.

Today, let us have a discussion on the issue that affects the society as a whole. Three top cops, women all, of India have come to raise the issue of negative role of films in contributing in to the rise of crime in society. They have pinpointed the tale telling effect on children psychology. The violence, the crime scenes portrayed in films mould thoughts and attitude of children. These officers, highly trained and directly working in the social set up of our country have opined that almost all delinquents have been impressed by the plots promoting violence in the films. Crime scenes have been deliberately prepared to leave deep impression on the viewers and that affects deeper in children. Indignity to women through rape scenes, misbehavior to femininity, indecent lyrical highlights and so always begin at films. Priducers and directors find innovative ways to humiliate beautiful women almost in all the sphere of social scenes in films as if the filming is impossible without inflicting harm to womanhood. This is true. Violence, crime, theft, rape scenes, kiss, defiling a woman's modesty are the only scenes required for films and the entire film centers on these scenes. The more empliyed the more business it makes.

Dhoom, released in 2004, a film about a group of bikers that burgle banks and other public places inspired a group of bikers in Kerala to rob a bank in 2007. The group stole gold and cash worth lakhs of rupees. However, this isn’t new. The 1972 film starring Amitabh Bachchan, Bombay to Goa, inspired three working professionals to break into a safe in a warehouse. They admitted that they saw the film for reference.

There are also findings that suggest watching sexually aggressive films negatively influence the viewer’s attitude towards women.

All this is concerning especially when it comes to children. Children often like to imitate what they see on television and in films. They cannot differentiate between fact and fiction until the age of four. This might lead them to view violence as an ordinary occurrence, affecting their sense of compassion.

Although there may not be much evidence to prove that violence in films influences people’s behaviour, there are studies that suggest that it does have some short-term effects. Researchers suggest they might enhance aggression but only among people prone to it. Movies may also offer ideas on ways to kill or be violent for such people.

It is time, Government to take action in the issue.

ପେଇବ ସଖି ?

ପେଇବ ସଖି ?
ନା ପିଇବ ଟିକିଏ ?
ମନେ ରଖ
ପିଆଲାରେ ଦିଶେ ନାଇଁ କ୍ଷତ ହୃଦୟର
ଆକ୍ଷିରୁ ବୋହିଗଲେ ବି
ଲୁହ ହୋଇ ଦୁଃଖ ସବୁ..
ପାରୁଛ ତା ପିଇ ଯାଅ
ଘୋଟି କରି ଅୟୁତ ଆକାଂକ୍ଷା
ପିଆଅ ବି କିଛି
ନଈ ହେଇ ବହିଗଲେ
ବାନ୍ଧ ନାଇଁ ବନ୍ଧ
ପଚାରିବ ଯଦି
କହିବ ଏ ପାନଶାଳା
ଦେବଦାସ କେଵେଠୁଁ ଆସିନି ।

ଆଃ, ଛାଡ ସଖି
ଢାଳ ଆଉଟିକେ
ଭରି ଦିଅ ଜୀବନର ଏଇ ଅତୃପ୍ତ ପିଆଲା
ଶ୍ରଦ୍ଧାର, ଧୈର୍ଯ୍ୟର ଖବର ପଚାର
କହିବ ତ କୁହ
ପଦଶବ୍ଦ ଶୁଭୁନି କାହିଁକି ଏଠି
ହଜିଯିବା ଖାଲି କିଆଁ ଏଠିକା ବେଭାର
ସ୍ୱପ୍ନର ବାଲିଘର ଆଉ କିଆଁ ଦିଶୁନି ଏଇଠି
ଶୁଭୁନାଇଁ ପିଆଲାର ଟୁଁ ଟାଂ ଶବ୍ଦ
ବାଟ ସବୁ ହଜି ଯାଏ ଏହାର କାନ୍ଥରୁ
ପରଦା ପଡୁନି ଏଠି
ପରଦା ପଛର ଗଳ୍ପ
ଆଉ ସେତେ ଲେଖା ହଉନାଇଁ
ଲେଖିବାବାଲାଙ୍କ ହାତ
ଖୋଜୁ ଅଛି ସ୍ଵଇଚ୍ଛାରେ ବନ୍ଦୀଶାଳା

ଲୁହ ସବୁ ପଙ୍ଗୁ ଏବେ
ହୃଦୟ ସ୍ପନ୍ଦନ
କହିବାରେ ଅସମର୍ଥ
ପରଦାର ଅନ୍ତରାଳେ ନାହିଁ ଆଉ
ସାମର୍ଥ୍ୟର ଅହମିକା
ସମୟ ତ ବଦଳିଛି
ବଦଳିଛି ଭଦ୍ରତାର ଛାୟା
ଆସ ସଖି
ଆସ ନେଇ ଆନନ୍ଦ ଫୁଆରା
ଆସ ସଖି...
ଚାଲିଥାଉ ପାନଶାଳା
ଉପଭୋଗ କରିଯିବା
ଯାହା ଅଛି ଜୀବନଟା ବାକି...

Will you drink a little
Before making me drink ?
Remember
Wounds of the heart
Won't reflect in the cups
Although sorrows do flow down in the form of tears..
O yes
Drink to your fill
Milions of expectations
And make me drink a little..
If they flow down
Don't object.
The parlour will tell you
How long is Devdas absent.

Ah, leave it Sakhi
Pour a little down
Fill this ever insatiable cup of life
Ask if you like
The fact of patience and attachment
Tell if you wish
Why no footsteps are heard any more..
Why everybody is lost here..
Why sand homes are no more built
Why sound if cups are not heard..
All roads are closed at its door
Curtains no more dropped now
Stories behind the scene are not written
Story writers are seen searching a safe heaven.

How to tackle pakistan ?

How to tackle pakistan ?

It is really a million dollar question everybody is trying to solve now. Yet, we need each other's view to reach a solution.
A rogue state Pakistan is, no doubt. It has no positive state policy except competing with India on negative platform. One time solution it needs and a final one. It is now a face behind which even all Indian opposition political parties are rallying behind, as is evident. It was a legacy the present government inherited. Kashmir problem is the pivot on which everything moves.Indtead of a solution, it is being exploited to make the water muddy.

Politics is the greatest setback India faces with its democratic system. It has reached to such a pitiable condition, Indian army is fighting against stone pelters from a handful of active anti national youth. Rubber bullets are banned and Indian judiciary is taking it's own time on such a serious issue. Security personnel are being humiliated on the crossroad of time. Dealing with Pakistan is not so difficult as is to face the helpless opposition political opponents without face.

The Government is pressed hard to make moves hurriedly. We need a permanent solution and it is time now. It needs public support and the nation is ready.

All relation with Pakistan has to be stopped. Pakistan lovers are all identified. They are not hidden. IPC Acts need to be applied against them. Sedition charges must be viewed seriously. External enemies need be tackled along with the internal sympathisers and it is necessary now. State policies need be pronounced straight, without any pity on anti national faiths.

National water policy, border issues, commerce between countries, economic co operation and military preparedness are to be tuned and retuned in favor of our own country. India was decided once and it is settled. If any body is unsatisfied, let it be settled through bilateral solution or force. National interest is first and any other reconsideration by any body may be addressed without impunity.

हम इन लोगों में से हैं मोनालिसा
जिन के पास
कुछ भी नहीं बच गया है अब
अपना कहने के लिए
और अपना समझ कर
दिल खोलने के लिए..
खो चुके हैं सब कुछ
चौराहे पर खुदगर्ज़ों का
नील वर्ण शियारों का
खुद की नींव पर घात करनेवालों का..
अपनापन के पनघट में
दूसरों को अपनाए हैं बहुत
मुस्कराने की कोशिश में
घायल भी हुए हैं
लेकिन
खो बैठते हैं खुद अपने को

ठोकर खाना आस्वाद्य है
आस्वाद्य है
ठोकर खाकर भी न गिरना
अगर गिरना नसीब हुआ कभी
तो गिर कर भी संभलना
तुम्हीं ने तो सिखायी थी
तुम्हीं ने तो बताई थी
अपनों को न भूलना

अब छोडो
रात कितनी है तो बता
प्याले क्यों खाली हैं सखि !
जिंदगी और कितनी है बाक़ी ?

We belong to these people
Monalisa
Those have nothing left
They can claim as their own
And to open their heart
Treating them as their own
Those who have lost everything
On the public square
Of selfish folks
Of blue painted jackals
And of those who harm their own root
On the waterfront of nearness
We have owned others
We have been hurt also
While trying to smile
But we lose ourselves..

It is blissful sometimes
To get cheated
And it is enjoyable
To resist a fall being cheated
You had taught me
To get on feet
Even if we had to fall ever
You had advised dear
Not to forget dear and near..

Leave it now, Sakhi
Tell me what is the time ?
Why are the cups empty ?
How far is the end of life ?

....IT IS A SPIRITUAL FLAME...

....IT IS A SPIRITUAL  FLAME...

Things are not always all the same
Time heals and is the greatest healer..
Life is a bunch of uncertainity, we are often in flame
If we choose a safe path, time itself is the greatest waiver..

Life is lived with open heart
Nothing is absolutely good, nothing is bad
If you try in good faith, the whole sky is an enchanted shirt
Treat your work as an opportunity and you are the happiest lad..

Poetry is the language of a free society
Don't make it a market place of selfish desire
It is a pious field, read write and worship it as a diety
It is a spiritual flame dear, let it not turn into a funeral pyre.

ବଦଳିଯାଇଚି ଏଠି
ସବୁକିଛି ମୋନାଲିସା
ତମେ ଯିବା ଠିକ୍ ଯିବା ପରେ
ସ୍ମୃତି ସବୁ ଆସିଛନ୍ତି
ମଉସୁମୀ ଯିବା ପରେ କଳାଘୋଡା ଚଢି..
ଯେମିତି ଥିଲା ଦୁନିଆଁ
ଲାଗୁଚି ତ ସେଇଭଳି ଅଛି...
ଅଶୀଣ ଗାଉଚି ଗୀତ
ଆଦି ମଣିଷର
ଶିମିଳି ଗଛରେ ଏବେ ଗଦା ଗଦା କଢ଼
ପବନରେ ଶୁଭ୍ର ଆହ୍ୱାନ
ହାତ ଠାରି ଡାକେ କାଶତଣ୍ଡି..
କବିତା ଲେଖିଲାବେଳେ
ଶବ୍ଦମାନେ ଆସୁଛନ୍ତି ପହଣ୍ଡି ପହଣ୍ଡି...

ମୋନାଲିସା
ସବୁ ପୃଷ୍ଠା ଭରିଚନ୍ତି ତମ ହସ୍ତାକ୍ଷର
ପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣଛେଦ ନାହିଁ ସିନା
କମାଟାଏ ଦେଖାଯାଏ ବେଳେ ବେଳେ
ଗୋଟେ ଅଧେ ସେମ ବିି କୋଲନ
ଧାଡି ସବୁ ସଳଖ ସଳଖ..
ଅମାନିଆ ବିପ୍ରଲମ୍ଭ ପରି
ତମ କଥା ଅତି ମିଠା
ତମ ସ୍ମୃତି
ଓଳିଗଡା ପାଣି ପରି
ନିରଳସ ଆଉ ବଡ ସୁଖ..
ଆକ୍ଷି ତମ
କବିତାର ନବୀନ ଉନ୍ମେଷ
କପୋତର କୋମଳତା ଭଳି
ଚାହାଣୀ ତମର ଲାଗେ ଭାରି ଉଷ୍ମ..
ଧରା ବନ୍ଧା ପୁରସ୍କାର ଠାରୁ
ତମ ସ୍ନେହେ ନିଆରା ଆବେଶ...
