Pratham bhool [Hindi]

मनुष्य स्वयं को भूलता चला गया,
स्वयं के अहं में झुलता चला गया,
जैसे जीवन का प्रत्येक पान खुलता चला गया,
जीवन रूपी रस वैसे ही ढुलता चला गया।

धर्म एवं कर्म के मध्य झूँझ गया इतना,
क्यों के बदले क्या पर समय व्यर्थ किया कितना,
परस्परता को अंतर मान जब चाहा विश्व जीतना,
तब वही कुकर्म निरंतर फल बन, लगा उस पर बीतना ।

परमात्मा से भेंट के लिये किये अगणित यतन,
दान कर लक्ष्मी का, सरस्वति के सुने कथन,
अंग, वाणी, मुख, भाव के श्रृंगार में उपयोग किये अमुल रतन,
आत्मा की शुद्धी एवं मन के श्रृंगार रस का यदी किया होता जतन,
तो जीवन का अंत मृत्यु लाती, न की ऐसा भयावय पतन ।

Humble beginnings..

The beginning is an end to a prior beginning . The prior beginning, in my case, was the Master's degree that I was so passionately and fervently pursuing; taking up courses, both online and offline, conducting theoretical and experimental research, working my mind like an omnidirectional wrecking ball conquering and deconstructing all that came in its path. But that was all going to be over now. My mind had, till then, been a sizzling mess of ideas, both mature and novel, buzzing around like bees crazed from the smoke released by an angry beekeeper that the world was. That mind was finally arriving at a stage where it could show those bees a new home, with new rooms and having new activities and responsibilities. That was, only if it could find the path and the way for them to reach there. In this path-finding algorithm, the first step was to scour for jobs that could be in alignment with what I had collected over 2 years as my personal arsenal during my conquests as a wrecking bal...

Lucid/Simple Writing

One day, when the clock struck four past midnight and the birds and their chicklings started to wake their surroundings up with incessant chirping and cooing, and I’d sat myself down to write, I realized something that was both very sudden and very critical. I had started writing in a manner that used so many ornate and bumptious words, and unnecessary and unending figures of speech, with a sentence structure as complex as a Rubik’s cube of cosmic dimensionality, that the underlying meaning seemed to lose its essence and impact. See? I realised that the idea I wanted to convey should always have been more important than the glamour and glitter around it, that the presentation should be more lucid and direct as opposed to my regular convoluted and philosophical, and that sentences shouldn’t be [too long for people to read / unnecessarily long]. This idea humoured me for a while, as I understood that, of course, including humour is also necessary [in pr…. No ]. While writing this, ho...
