He was hugely talented. He did everything from being a singer to being an actor to even being a politician in India's first Lok Sabha (among many other things). I got to know him through his 'rail gaaDii', 'naani kee naao' and 'My heart is beating' songs. But then I heard Ashok Kumar reciting one of his curd seller quatrains - also known in Hindi as 'zara chakh ke dekho'. But this poem really touched me. I am sure you will like it too. If you do not have the time to read the full poem, just read the first few lines (till the line in the title). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span

on his wheel; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;But now, through wisdom lately-won,  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div

style="text-align: justify;"&gt;पहली बार भगवद गीता का श्लोक शामिल कर रहा हूं. धार्मिक कारणों से नहीं, मगर इसके अन्दर के अर्थ से प्रभावित होकर. ये श्लोक मैंनें सुना है स्वामी विवेकानन्द का भी पसन्दीदा श्लोक था.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;हे पार्थ यानी अर्जुन, डरपोक मत बनो, ये तुम्हें शोभा नहीं देता.

इस नीच डर को त्याग दो, तुम मे आज भी इतनी क़ाबिलियत है कि तुम अपने दुशमनों को जला कर ख़ाक़ कर सको. बस इस नीच डर को छोड दो और उठो.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br

सुनना पडा, कि सुनकर कोफ़्त होने लगी थी. पर अब जब ये श्लोक याद आता है तो इसकी मिसाल बहुत अच्छी लगती है. सोचिये कि एक शेर सोया हुआ है, और हिरण पास से गुज़र रहा है, और शेर को देखते ही सोचता है कि ये तो शेर है, उठेगा तो मुझे पकड ही लेगा. तो क्यों ना मैं ख़ुद इसके पास जाकर निवेदन करूं कि वो अपना मुंह खोले ताकि मैं अन्दर घुस सकूं.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;ऐसा भी कभी होता है! चलिए श्लोक को तफ़्सील से देखते हैं.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;उद्यमेन यानी मेहनत से &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;हि यानी ही &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:

/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;अर्थात जो काम हैं वो मेहनत करने से ही पूरे होते हैं. आप भले ही शेर हों, पर अगर लेटे रहें और सोये रहें, तो ऐसा हरगिज़ नहीं होगा कि कोई हिरण आपके मुंह में ख़ुद घुस जायेगा. आपको हर रोज़ साबित करना होगा कि आप शेर हैं. &amp;nbsp;जब भी मैं डिस्कवरी या ऍनिमल प्लॅनिट पे एक शेर को हिरण के शिकार से चूंकते हुए देखता हूं तो सोचता हूं सोया हुआ शेर तो छोडिये तेज़ भागने वाले शेर के मुंह में भी हिरण नहीं घुसते. हिरण उन शेरों के मुंह में घुसते हैं जो हिरणों से तेज़ भाग पाते हैं.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br

कविता की कहानी भी है. राजा भोज जब चार या पांच वर्ष के थे तो उनके पिताजी की मृत्यु हो गई, उनके चाचा मुंज ने उन्हें मरवा देने का आदेश दिया. मरने से पहले उन्होंने अपने क़ातिल को ये चार पंक्तियां लिख कर

चिट्ठे की शुरुआत की थी, तो सोचा था कि इसमें मै अलग अलग भाषाओं से अपनी पसन्दीदा कविताओं का संकलन प्रस्तुत करूंगा. पर उर्दू का नशा मुझ पर कुछ यूं तारी हुआ कि मैं न दायें देख सका न बायें. अब मेरी कोशिश रहेगी कि ज़रा अपनी बाक़ी भाषाओं को भी शामिल करूं. हालांकि डर है कि उर्दू फिर हावी हो जाएगा :) ख़ैर अगर हो भी जाए तो कोई बुरी बात नहीं है. आज मैं अपने एक पसन्दीदा श्लोक को शामिल कर रहा हूं जो कालिदास के प्रख्यात नाटक मालविकाग्निमित्रम से उद्धृत है. अक्सर हम पुराने के मोह पाश में कुछ यूं पड जाते हैं, कि नए की अच्छाईयों से बेख़बर रहते हैं. ओल्ड इज़ गोल्ड - ये कथन तो अब इतना घिसा पिटा हो गया है कि इसे सुनकर कोफ़्त होने लगती है. ख़ैर इस ब्लॉग पर इतना वाचाल होने की मेरी मंशा नहीं है. तो फिर लौटते हैं मुद्दे पे.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span

अच्छा नहीं होता &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;"&gt;न च अपि काव्य्म नवम और ना ही नई सोच या काव्य &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;"&gt;इति अवद्यम यानी निन्दनीय है&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div

बात कह गए ना कालिदास साहब दो सहस्राब्दि पूर्व. तो अगर आइन्दा आपके बुज़ुर्ग आप से पुराने की तारीफ़ करें और नए की निन्दा. तो ये श्लोक चिपका दीजियेगा उन्हें. और कटे पे नमक के रूप में ये भी कह दीजियेगा कि उन से भी बहुत पहले के महाकवि कालिदास ने कहा है ये.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;"&gt;&lt;br

'naa-kardah' means 'not done'. 'daad' means justice or redressal. Ghalib is asking Chitragupta to include in his balance sheets of sins and virtuous deeds, the crimes that he contemplated but could not do - either due to pusillanimity or due to paucity of time.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;A lot of couples feel that even when a partner thinks about infidelity - that is infidelity. Others say the clause is not triggered unless you actually do something.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Another way of looking at it from a corporate point of view, is that we make so many plans and strategies, but when the time for appraisal comes - the time for earning bonuses and incentives - we are rewarded only for the achievements and not for efforts. But the appraisal discussion always goes like this -&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;'I tried my best, I can't help it if.... happened'&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;So when it comes to appraisals we want 'daad' for 'naakardaah gunaah' :)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Whatever way you look at this, I love this couplet.
