Toh Zinda Ho Tum...

Toh Zinda Ho Tum...

Dilon mein tum apni
Betaabiyan leke chal rahe ho
Toh zinda ho tum

Nazar mein khwabon ki
Bijliyan leke chal rahe ho
Toh zinda ho tum

Hawa ke jhokon ke jaise
Aazad rehno sikho
Tum ek dariya ke jaise
Lehron mein behna sikho
Har ek lamhe se tum milo
Khole apni baaheyin
Har ek pal ek naya samha
Dekhen yeh nigahaein

Jo apni aankhon mein
Hairaniyan leke chal rahe ho
Toh zinda ho tum

Dilon mein tum apni
Betaabiyan leke chal rahe ho
Toh zinda ho tum....

Independence... Ver. 2.0

15th August, 1947... a new born nation was celebrating its newly found freedom at midnight... and yet an author of this epic was sleeping sadly far away from noises and cries of celebrating crowd. Mahatma Gandhi might knew that it was just a beginning of a long battle of independence for this nation. While this country turns 64 on this day still the question remains... whether this nation can still be called free?

I ask a question to my self? Why am I so resilient when my country man dies of cowardly terror attacks? Why am I still shy to grab those corrupt politicians by their collars and ask them to return my HARD earned Tax Money? Why am I still so helpless when I am forced to pay to those lousy Traffic Cops, Railway Ticket Inspector, Authorities, Local Bodies, Departments, and even in corporates??? They say India is a largest democracy.. then how can a government so ruthlessly dictate its policies on the populous.. Is government above us? Our constitution is to safeguard our rights, its not made to shield those corrupt politicians and bureaucrats.. So how can somebody misuse the same against us.. 'The common man'

So now that an old man without any personal motto has come forward to help this nation free it self from this so called barriers.. where are we in this Fight against Corruption? It doesn't matter if the way and approach of this fight suits me or not, whether I agree with its policies or not but as a citizen of this nation we need to stand and support this old man.. 'Anna'..

I request all to spread the word... express their support.. Nothing like going physically and being part of that Fight, but if you can't.. then definitely there are different ways to support...
You can simply fund them.. at least browse through the url.. http://www.indiaagainstcorruption.org/donate.html We paid enough for it, now its time to pay against it....

If you feel uncomfortable doing this.. then do what most of us must do... Spread the word... Talk about it.. show your concern and discomfort.. send sms... register your self in this fight... show those fighters that your with them... some years later you'll cherish for what you did today...
Its the time...

Happy Independence Day in Advance...

Being Father...

I am reborn...

Last Six Years went away simply like a flesh... and here i am... A father...

Enchanting it feels when I take a time to breath and look back these past half a decade, that truly redefined 'Me'.. A collegian who became a budding entrepreneur... so many challenges.. so many achievements.. so many learning.. and yet it felt like nothing had been achieved... But then... I realise that I am a father... A part of me lives in him... my baby...

When those small pair of eye watches me so keenly as if reading my emotions.. I feel so word less... why suddenly goals and visions become secondary to this strong empowering feeling of being father of someone... As the old wise man says... Priority changes as life does...

Coming to Ahmedabad, starting a venture, relocating family, everyday fighting against challenges and learning lessons of life.. so many things are lost.. so much of youth so much of health so much of friendships.. and then watching nephews grow in big city and dreaming abt my kid getting good education and healthcare... i guess all paid back...

Life is full of hopes and dreams and now its not for me... its all for those pair of small eye whose lovely gaze fills my heart...Its truly wonderful being Father..

Yes.. I am reborn...
