Gujarati Gazal Contd.,

મને ન પૂછ કે તારા વગર શું છૂટકો છે ?
ન પૂછ વાયુને, વાયા વગર શું છૂટકો છે ?

નસીબમાં નહીં, મહેનતમાં ફક્ત માને છે,
એ હાથને ય જો… રેખા વગર શું છૂટકો છે ?

વસંત જેવી તું આવીને વળગી બેસે તો,
આ કાષ્ઠને ય મહોર્યા વગર શું છૂટકો છે ?

ન હોય કોઈ જ્યાં બંધન ત્યાં કેવી આઝાદી ?
જો વહેવું હોય તો કાંઠા વગર શું છૂટકો છે ?

જીવન-મરણની તમે વાત લઈને બેઠા છો…
અને જીવો-મરો સ્વેચ્છા વગર, શું છૂટકો છે ?

ભલે ને તું નહીં દેખાતો હોય ક્યાંય છતાં,
તું છે એ વાતને માન્યા વગર શું છૂટકો છે ?

ભલે ને સોમી ગઝલ લખતો હોઉં હું તો પણ
વીતેલી પળ ફરી જીવ્યા વગર શું છૂટકો છે ?

Gujarati Gazal

હું કશું પણ કહું તો એ કહેશે કે, ‘હા’,
આવા સગપણને હવે ક્યાં રાખવા ?

સિક્કા ખિસ્સામાં છે તારી યાદના,
રોજ થોડા-થોડા લઉં છું કામમાં.

બંધ કરતામાં થશે ભેળાં છતાં,
તું તિરાડ જ જો, હું જોઉં બારણાં.

આયના, તડકો – ઉભયના ભાસમાં
હું મને શોધી શક્યો ન જાતમાં.

ચિત્ત, આંખો, દિલ- બધું બારીએ છે,
આ જે ઘરમાં છે, શું હું છું ? ના રે ના…

વહી ગયેલાં પાણી ભરવાં શક્ય છે?
તું ગઝલ લખ, છોડ પદ નરસિંહના.

49.2 Yuvraj to Mascarenhas, SIX!!, flattish delivery on the middle and leg, Mascarenhas stays back inside the crease and looks to swat it away, micues it high up in the air, Chawla judges that well and takes it neatly, he loses his balance now and touches the long on fence, oh!!! dear, that is six!!! the umpire signals it now!!!

49.4 Yuvraj to Mascarenhas, SIX!!, delivery looped up on the middle and leg, angling into the right hander, Mascarenhas makes room outside the leg stump and slogs it over deep mid wicket for the third six in a row!!! lovely shot!!! Yuvraj is clueless!!!

49.5 Yuvraj to Mascarenhas, SIX!!, Yuvraj tosses it up on the middle and leg, holding its line on that occasion, Mascarenhas clears his frontfoot out of the way again and whacks it over long on for a biggie!!! meaty blow!!! Dravid asking too much from Yuvraj here

49.6 Yuvraj to Mascarenhas, SIX!!, full and straight on the stumps, Mascarenhas gives himself room and whacks it over the top, straight down the ground for another six!!! Ohh!!! My word, what a shot!!! this is like a box office opening!!! he is coming down on Yuvraj like a house on fire!!!

Patron: There’s a fly in my soup!
Waiter: Try again; maybe the fly won’t be there this time.
Patron: No, it’s still there.
Waiter: Maybe it’s the way you’re using the soup. Try eating it with a spoon instead.
Patron: Even when I use the spoon, the fly is still there.
Waiter: Maybe the soup is incompatible with the bowl. What kind of bowl are you using?
Patron: A SOUP bowl!
Waiter: Hmmm, that should work. Maybe it’s a configuration problem. How was the bowl set up?

Write Your Hurts in the Sand …

A story tells that two friends were walking through the desert. During some point of the journey they had an argument, and one friend slapped the other one in the face.

The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything, wrote in the sand:
TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE.

They kept on walking until they found an oasis, where they decided to take a bath. The one who had been slapped got stuck in the mire and started drowning, but the friend saved him.

After he recovered from the near drowning, he wrote on a stone:
TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE.

The friend who had slapped and saved his best friend asked him,
“After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now, you write on a stone, why?”

The other friend replied “When someone hurts us we should! Write it down in sand where winds of forgiveness can erase it away. But, when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it in stone where no wind can ever erase it.”

LEARN TO WRITE YOUR HURTS IN THE SAND AND TO CARVE YOUR BENEFITS IN STONE.

They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them,
a day to love them, but then an entire life to forget them.

Do not value the THINGS you have in your life But value WHO you have in your life!

What if we tweak the clock

Imagine that the Indian Standard Time (IST) is advanced by half-an-hour to be six hours ahead of the Greenwich Mean Time or GMT.

“I can stick my neck out and say it is a win-win situation,” DP Sen Gupta, honorary professor at the National Institute of Advanced Studies (NIAS) and one of the scientists who pitched this idea, told the Hindustan Times from Bangalore.

The likely effects: office goers will get an extra half-hour of evening daylight to commute home. Petty crime in the dusk may drop. Sixteen per cent of peak evening electricity will be saved.

But at 8 am in Silicon Valley, California, it will be 9 or 10 pm in India instead of 8.30 pm or 9.30 pm today. Global businesses operating out of India will overlap more with China and Japan than the US.

Children in Punjab will go to school in the dark due to later winter sunrises, unless schools change timings. And families in the north and west will switch on lights early morning for a few winter weeks. “Six hours would be an integral number. We belong to five per cent of the countries with fractional time differences (five and half hours),” Sen pointed out.

But the IST, the official time standard since Independence, will not be modified unless the Cabinet decides to. “I am aware of the proposal,” Union Science and Technology Minister Kapil Sibal told HT. “It’s for Cabinet to decide, it’s not a science and technology issue.”

The scientists are sending their paper to the Planning Commission. “We would be happy to make a presentation to them or a Parliamentary sub-committee,” said the NIAS professor Dilip Ahuja.

Knowledge

A guy was seated next to a little girl on the airplane when the stranger turned to her and said, ‘Let’s talk. I’ve heard that Flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with
your fellow passenger. The little girl, who had just opened her book, closed it slowly and said to the guy, ‘What would you like to talk about?’ hmmmm… ‘How about nuclear power?’ said the guy.

‘OK’. She said. ‘That could be an interesting topic. But let me ask you a question first. A Horse, a Cow, and a Deer all eat grass, the same stuff. Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flatpatty, and a horse produces clumps of dried grass. Why do yo suppose that is?’

The guy thinks about it and says, ‘Hmmm, I have no idea. The girl replied… ‘Do you feel qualified to discuss nuclear power when you don’t know shit?’
