Challenge to Fate हुज़ूर-ए-आला ने मान लिया, नज़रें उठाने को भी ग़ुस्ताखी, बोले गर्दिश में है सितारे तुम्हारे, फिर भी कर रहे हो बेबाक़ी, अब क्या बताए हुज़ूर-ए-क़िस्मत को, किरदार कुछ यूँ बना लिया है, मिज़ाज कुछ ऐसे ही हैं हम लोगो के, बेबाक़ी को अपना ताज बना रखा है।

Individual vs Institution ये आवाज़ मेरी, ये साज़ मेरा, ये ज़मीन मेरी, ये आसमान मेरा, जो जज़्बातों का सागर है, उसकी लहर मेरी, गहराव मेरा, जिस मन मंदिर में चिंतन करूँ, उसकी छवि मेरी, दर्पण मेरा, जो सही ग़लत की परिभाषा, उसकी नींव मेरी, माप दंड मेरा। छीन लोगो भी ये मंच मुझसे,…

Had a guy open up the overhead compartment even while the plane was taxiing. We Indians have the gall to demand better things while we don’t level up our behaviour even when things become better. Hum na sudhrenge. Regrettably unapologetic.

Saw the news today that passengers in an Air India flight from Delhi to Pune were held for 7 hours in the plane and not allowed to deboard despite obvious delays. The rest of the story is equally ridiculous when they were finally deboarded (made to do security check again &…
