Yaha  Sabh Kuch Bikta hai



Yaha sabh kuch bikta hai ,
              Rehna zara sambhal kar

 Bechne wale hawa bhi bech dete hai ,
                 Gubbaro me daal kar

 Sach bikta hai , jhooth bikta hai ,
              Bikti hai har kahani

 Teen lok mein faila hai ,
               Fir bhi bikta hai bottle me paani 

 Kabhi phoolon ki tarah mat jeena ,
       Jis din khiloge , toot kar bikhar jaoge

 Jeena hai toh pathhar ki tarah jiyo ,
                          Jis din tarashe gaye ,                Khuda ban jaoge  ...!!!!

                ~By Harivansh Rai Bachchan 


        यहाँ सब कुछ बिकता है


यहाँ सब कुछ बिकता है, दोस्तों रहना जरा संभाल के
बेचने वाले हवा भी बेच देते है, गुब्बारों में डाल के

सच बिकता है, झूठ बिकता है, बिकती है हर कहानी
तीन लोक में फैला फिर भी, बिकता है बोतल में पानी

कभी फूलों की तरह मत जीना,
जिस दिन खिलोगे, टूट कर बिखर जाओगे।

जीना है तो पत्थर की तरह जियो;
जिस दिन तराशे गए, ख़ुदा बन जाओगे।।

                                ~ हरिवंशराय बच्चन


Below is the English translation of this poem.



Beware friends! Everything is for sale here!!!

Sellers may even sell off air , infusing it in balloons 🎈🎈!!!

Truth is sold , lies are sold; every story is being sold!!!

Spread across every surrounding, yet water gets sold in bottles  !!!

Never live like a flower;
The day you bloom….you would pluck and wither.

If you want to live, live like a stone 🪨 , 
The day you are fed up……you will turn into a “GOD”....!!!!!

GIRL CHILD - NOT STILL WELCOMED BY MANY COMMUNITIES

  GIRL CHILD - NOT STILL WELCOMED BY MANY COMMUNITIES   A  question of a girl from society and world " What's my fault if I born as a Girl..?????Why society hates me ...????  I have a question from GOD why created me & send it to hell if society sees me as a Curse .????? Why ..??? Why. .?? Why. ....???? W omen constitute half of this world . But a recent survey showed that there are still many communities in India which don't welcome the birth of a girl child . It is a shame That inspite of liberalisation & globalisation we are mentally still deeply rooted in the superstitions & beliefs of the middle ages & feudalism . No doubt, there are certain communities in India which consider the birth of a girl child an inauspicious burden. In a male dominated society , the birth of a girl child is not an occasion for rejoicing . But the most unfortunate & alarming thing is that even in most prosperous states foetal killing & abortions are very com...

EGOTISM - COMMONEST FAULT OF MANKIND

E gotism is the most common fault of mankind. Product of the perfectly natural desire to display oneself, egotism, which is an exaggerated form of self- display, can take such a variety of shapes that it is not always easy to discern. Beyond any shadow of doubt,however, it is personal defect that ought to be constantly hunted down the scotched, for it impairs the personality & frustrates all efforts at self-improvement. " Egotism is the glue with which you get stuck in yourself "             The easily recognisable form of egotism that is evidenced in the person who continually talks of his own affairs. You may all have met such kind of man who is never happy save when recounting his exploits & experiences in life & whatever he speaks may later arrive at himself. On the other hand , there is a type ,not common ,which evidence its egotism by affecting a humility & that is certainly not felt , & avoid use of "I" in speech .such affectatio...
