Sawaal

होटों पर जो नाम है
उस नाम की कीमत कितनी है?
चाँद में जो दाग है
उस दाग की कीमत कितनी है?
घर बार, प्यार, सपने सारे
पहले से गिरवी रखे हैं
ईमान बचाए रखा जो
ईमान की कीमत कितनी है?

गाँठें खिंच खिंच कर तार हुईं
रिश्तों के धागे टूट गए|
दुनिया हमसे बेजार हुई
सब रस्में वादे टूट गए|
माना हस्ती छोटी है पर
हक इतना तो रखता हूँ
पूछ सकूँ मैं तुझसे, "मेरे
यार, मुहब्बत कितनी है?"

For those whose Hindi font is not working properly:

Hoton par jo naam hai
Us naam ki keemat kitni hai?
Chaand mein jo daag hai
Us daag ki keemat kitni hai?
Ghar baar, pyaar, sapne saare,
Pehle se girvi rakhe hain
Imaan bachaye rakha jo
Imaan ki keemat kitni hai?

Gaanthen khinch khinch kar taar huin
Rishton ke dhaage toot gaye
Duniya hamse bezaar hui
Sab rasme waade toot gaye
Maana hasti chhoti hai par
Haq itna to rakhta hoon
Poochh sakoon main tujhse, "Mere
Yaar Muhabbat kitni hia?"

    Jubaa par na rakho itne sawaal..kehna hota hai, unhe bhi bahut kuch khaas..
    par kuch toh faaslein hote hai dilo ke bhi darmyaan
    Aks agar ho mohbbat ka saccha toh bin bole..bin bhoojhein vei khud hi bayaan hote hai

I Smell Gold : This time it's personal

Won my first individual event ever in college. Since no one else was blowing my horn, decided to do that myself. So here is my gold winning speech :) Since you might get bored half way through the speech, let me thank the people who need to be thanked right now itself: Apurva, Myth, Zoo, Xar, Kamra, Harsha and even Bishnoi :) Motion: Increasing national security and surveillance is a cosmetic response to any extremist activity in a democratic and tolerant society . :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Let me start with a very clichéd “Picture this”. I am a 7 year old boy and I behave like any 7 year old does. I hate milk and I throw a tantrum when I see a glass full of that filthy white thing. As a seven year old I probably don’t know the words tantrum and filthy, but this ignorance does not save me from the wrath of my father. He takes less than 45 seconds to get that milk down my throat. I certainly don’t like it. Thankfully, sometime later my mother explains to me why I need that milk if

The Awesome Threesome

I expect the DC++ hoggers already know about "Three KGPians day out", well here is a new version of it. Four days before the end sem exams, and on the eve of the day which has three tests in store for them, three KGPians, decided to go out for a late night snack. Actually there wasnt much decision involved except for the place where they would be willing to hog down stuff. The local canteen won on the grounds that being the nearest, they would be WASTING much lesser time if they went there. The guftagu began, after the initial rite of ordering your stuff. Two Bread Butters, one beg sandwich, and a cup of tea. No maggie, no chowmein -- seriosly these people were low on budget. Before we get any further into their actual conversation, lets name the three dramatis personae. On account of confidentiality, they have requested that they be known by aliases. So lets call them MyTh, Quark and manGO. As the three waited for the food to arrive, manGO being in a counter reflective mood

.:ROBOTIX 2007:.

My message to the team ..... “If I need a cause for celebration Or a comfort I can use to ease my mind I rely on my imagination And I dream of an imaginary time.” That imaginary time has become real … When everything's been said and done.... When words run out ... and so does your ability to invent new ones to suit the moment To honor it ... to savor it What do you say ... it’s not the first time that I have been in this situation That night u guys asked for one line ... well keeda never speaks a single line ... and again well as i said I just write my blog So, what do I say about such an astonishing fest and such a great group of people ... well for one ... it was more than about just a fest ... more than about 546 teams and 1500 participants ....more than about 2 odd lakhs spent on it ... more than 4 dog tiring days and nights ... much much more than that. It was about self belief ... it was about a dream ... a dream come true in much bigger proport
