Couplets of the day

geron ki baat kya keeje
humne apne bhi aazmaen hain
log katon se bachke chalte hain
humne phulon se zakhm khaen hain

seene mein jalan aankhon mein tufaan saa kyon hai
is shahar mein har shaks pareshaan saa kyon hai

Hai bahaar-e-bagh duniyaa chand roz
Dekh lo iska tamasha chand roz

On writing

"Writing is not a collaborative art. A writer comes most alive when he is alone."

Luck!

He worked by the day
And toiled by the night.

He gave up play
And some delight.

Dry books he read,
New things to learn.

And forged ahead,
Success to earn.

He plodded on with
Faith and pluck;
And when he won,
Men called it luck

couplet of the day

jo na mila so na sahi
jo kho gaya so kho gaya
jo bhi diya tune ae zindgi
amar usi ka ho gaya

Praise and Criticism

Praise in Public. Coach in Private.

Just don't criticize.

Criticize: to censure or find fault with.

Mushkil hai

udas hona aasan hai
hanste rehna mushkil hai

naraz hona aasan hai
maaf karna mushkil hai

kamiyan dhundna aasan hai
khubiyan dhundna mushkil hai

gire rehna aasan hai
uth kar phir chalna mushkil hai

haar jana aasan hai mere yaron
ladte rehna mushkil hai

mushkil hai to mushkil hi sahi
mushkilon me hi aage badhna
aadmi ka kaam hai

amar ka dil kuch aisa kehta hai
ki shayad....
shayad jeena isi ka naam hai

Slow Down

Slow is calm.

Slow is focused.

Slow is shutting down your laptop.

Slow is counting the trees in your backyard.

Slow is sinking into your personal Jacuzzi.

Slow is like a joke well listened.

Slow is a conversation with yourself.

Slow is belonging to someone.

Slow is a quiet walk.

Slow is lying on the grass.

Slow is reading a book.

Slow is sipping a coffee in the sun.

Slow is conscious breathing.

Slow is knowing what you are doing.

Slow is knowing why you are doing what you are doing.

Slow is peace.

Slow is pretty.

Slow is the new way to live.

Slow Down
