हाल फिलहाल एक हुआ तमाशा,
दुनिया वालों दो ध्यान जरा सा
वीश्वा में नए अजूबे चुने गए,
एस एम एस से वोटिंग किए गए
करोडो का हुआ वारा - न्यारा,
देकर वास्ता इज्जत का यारा
भोली जनता को बनाया गया,
ताज के नाम पर फंसाया गया
मीडिया भी बेफकूफ बन गई,
वह भी ताज के पीछे पड़ गयी
जनता से सबने गुहार लगाई,
जितने चाहो वोट दो भाई
वोट के नाम पर खूब कमाया,
भीख मांगने का नया तरीका पाया
अरे भाई! ताज कहाँ अजूबा है?
वहाँ तो सोई बस एक महबूबा है!
आज के युग में कितनी तरक्की है,
ट्रेनें, हवाई-जहाज, सड़क पक्की है
रॉकेट, मिसाईल, कारें, सितारा होटल हैं,
खुलती दिन रात जहाँ शैंपेन बोटल हैं
आओ दिखाता हूँ मै आपको सच्ची अजूबे,
प्रगति के दौर के ये हैं असली अजूबे।
विश्व का प्रथम अजूबा - ध्यान दें!
मुंबई की लोकल ट्रेन में सफर कर दिखला दें!
कोई माई का लाल साबित कर दे,
इससे बड़ा अजूबा दुनिया में दिखा दे
आओ दिखाता हूँ मैं आपको सच्ची अजूबे,
प्रगति के दौर के ये हैं असली अजूबे
दूसरा अजूबा भी हमारे देश में,
नजरें उठा कर देख लो किसी भी शहर गली में
कचरे के डब्बों से खाना ढ़ूंढ़ता आदमी,
उसी को खा कर अपनी भूख मिटाता आदमी
आओ दिखाता हूँ मै आपको सच्ची अजूबे,
प्रगति के दौर के ये हैं असली अजूबे
तीसरा अजूबा - कीड़ों सा रेंगता आदमी,
स्लम, फुटपाथ, ट्रैक पर जीवन बिताता आदमी
सडको पर सुबह, लोटा लेकर बैठा आदमी,
देखिए अजूबा, मजबूर कितना आदमी
Aur bhi कितने अजूबे हैं हमारे देश में,
एक एक कर गिनाना है न मेरे बस में
एक एक कर गिनाना है न मेरे बस में॥

Socrates - The Philospher
Triple Test of Socrates.
"In ancient Greece,Socrates was reputed to hold knowledge in high esteem. One day anacquaintance met the great philosopher and said, 'Socrates, do you knowwhat I just heard about your friend?' 'Hold on a minute,'Socrates replied. 'Before telling me anything I'd like you to pass alittle test. It's called the Triple Filter Test.' 'Triple filter?' 'That'sright,' Socrates continued. 'Before you talk to me about my friend, itmight be a good idea to take a moment and filter what you're going tosay. The first filter is Truth. Have you made absolutely sure that whatyou are about to tell me is true?' 'No,' the man said, 'actually I just heard about it and...' 'All right,' said Socrates. 'So you don't really know if it's true or not. Now let's try the second filter, the filter of Goodness. Is what you are about to tell me about my friend something good?' 'No, on the contrary...' So,'Socrates continued, 'you want to tell me something bad about him, butyou're not certain it's true. You may still pass the test though,because there's one filter left: the filter of Usefulness. Is what youwant to tell about my friend going to be useful to me?' 'No, not really.' 'Well,' concluded Socrates, 'if what you want to tell me is neither true nor good nor even useful, why tell it to me at all?' This is why Socrates was a great philosopher and held in such high esteem.

बारिश
तीरों की बारिश ख़त्म करो यारो.......
बहुत लग चुके है ,पैबंद दामन पे अपने
अब तो तीरों की बारिश ख़त्म करो यारों,
दो घड़ी पास बैठो मोहब्बत की बात करो यारो.
जिनके कहने पर हमने खून वहाया तूने मेरा
और मैने तेरा घर जलाया,
खादीं मे छुपे उन शैतानों को पहचनो यारों
दो घड़ी पास बैठो मोहब्बत की बात करो यारो.
मेरे घर मे नन्हे बच्चे है, तो तेरे घर मे भी है बुडी माँ
ज़िम्मेदारी मुझ पर भी है ज़िम्मेदारी तुझ पर भी
तो क्यो ना अपनो की बात करे यारों
दो घड़ी पास बैठो मोहब्बत की बात करो यारो.
ना मेरा ईश्वर तुझसे खफा है, ना तेरा अल्लाह
मुझसे जुदादिल से पुकारो दोनो मिलेंगें यहाँ,
चलो शिर्डी मे सर झुकाएँ और दरगाह मे दुआ माँग आएँ यारो
दो घड़ी पास बैठो मोहब्बत की बात करो यारो.

A small touching story mainly for professionals...
A man came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find his
5-year old son waiting for him at the door.
SON: "Daddy, may I ask you a question?"
DAD: "Yeah sure, what is it?" replied the man.
SON: "Daddy, how much do you make an hour?"
DAD: "That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?"
the man said angrily.
SON: "I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an
hour?"
DAD: "If you must know, I make Rs.100 an hour."
SON: "Oh," the little boy replied, with his head down.
SON: "Daddy, may I please borrow Rs.50?"
The father was furious, "If the only reason you asked that is so you
can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then
you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about
why you are being so selfish. I work hard everyday for such this
childish behavior."
The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door.
The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little
boy's questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some
money?
After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started to
think: Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that
Rs.50 and he really didn't ask for money very often. The man went to
the door of the little boy's room and opened the door.
"Are you asleep, son?" He asked.
"No daddy, I'm awake," replied the boy.
"I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier" said the
man.
"It's been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you.. Here's the
Rs.50 you asked for."
The little boy sat straight up, smiling. "Oh, thank you daddy!" He
yelled.
Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills.
The man saw that the boy already had money, started to get angry
again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, and then looked up
at his father.
"Why do you want more money if you already have some?" the father
grumbled.
"Because I didn't have enough, but now I do," the little boy replied.
"Daddy, I have Rs.100 now. Can I buy an hour of your time?
Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with
you."
The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little son, and he
begged for his forgiveness.
It's just a short reminder to all of you working so hard in life. We
should not let time slip through our fingers without having spent some
time with those who really matter to us, those close to our hearts.
Do remember to share that Rs.100 worth of your time with someone you love.

l earn myriad lessons from him?!!
Miracle man walks again
Monday, July 9, 2007.
He survived against all the odds; now Peng Shulin has astounded doctors by learning to walk again.
When his body was cut in two by a lorry in 1995, it was little short of a medical miracle that he lived.
It took a team of more than 20 doctors to save his life.
Skin was grafted from his head to seal his torso? but the legless Mr Peng was left only 78cm (2ft 6in) tall.
Bedridden for years, doctors in China had little hope that he would ever be able to live anything like a normal life again.
But recently, he began exercising his arms, building up the strength to carry out everyday chores such as washing his face and brushing his teeth.
Doctors at the China Rehabilitation Research Centre in Beijing found out about Mr Peng's plight late last year and devised a plan to get him up walking again.
They came up with an ingenious way to allow him to walk on his own, creating a sophisticated egg cup-like casing to hold his body with two bionic legs attached to it.
He has been taking his first steps around the centre with the aid of his specially adapted legs and a resized walking frame.
Mr Peng, who has to learn how to walk again, is said to be delighted with the device.
What a Selfconfidence …!!!! Great

ONE PARAGRAPH THAT EXPLAINS LIFE!
ONE PARAGRAPH THAT EXPLAINS LIFE!
Arthur Ashe, the legendary Wimbledon player was dying of AIDS which he got due to infected blood he received during a heart surgery in 1983.
From world over, he received letters from his fans, one of which conveyed: "Why does GOD have to select you for such a bad disease"?
To this Arthur Ashe replied:
"The world over -- 50 million children start playing tennis, 5 million learn to play tennis,
500,000 learn professional tennis, 50,000 come to the circuit, 5000 reach the grand slam,
50 reach Wimbledon, 4 to semi final, 2 to the finals,
when I was holding a cup I never asked GOD 'Why me?'.
And today in pain I should not be asking GOD 'Why me?' "
"Happiness keeps you Sweet,
Trials keep you Strong,
Sorrow keeps you Human,
Failure keeps you humble and Success keeps you glowing, but only Faith & Attitude Keeps you going...

A thought from Winston churchill
Sure I am that this day I am masters of our fate, that the task which has been set before us is not above our strength; that its pangs and toils are not beyond my endurance. As long as we have faith in our own cause and an unconquerable will to win, victory willl not be denied us.
