Munna Bhai

Well, in the starting I abused Sanjay for creating embarrassment for his reputated and noble father. I was about 14 yrs ago when he was arrested and sent to jail. As the case went on I gradually turned soft on Sanjay but I knew he broke the law and he will be punished and he must be punished. I felt happy when Judge said that he is not a terrorist even then I knew that he will get the punishment for his crime. Its hard to see such a versatile entertainer behind the bars but I don’t think it is unfair or any type of injustice.
I want to discuss what this guy,whom India Today says “Mother India ka kabhi bada na hone wala bachcha” gave us. Few days back my little niece was talking me and she told me that she likes Gandhiji. i asked what she likes in Gandhi ji, she told me that he is so nice man. then i asked her what she knows about him. she told me about slaps on face and so on. i said he said this because he was not so strong to answer the slap. Now she told me that he was not weak and it was his way to make the other guy good. I knew it all, I knew<, Gandhi is not name of majboori but he is a majbooti which we cant understand because we are so weak to understand. I knew all this because I read a lot of books, but my niece knew it because she saw the movie of Munna bhai(wahi bachcha jo kabhi bada nahi hoga according to India Today). She is not 8 and she knows this philosophy of making people good. I don’t know all those who learnt about Gandhi in Munna Bhai classes, will keep it with them or not but atleast they knew a little. I rememeber few years back many college going youths were not clear about Gandhi and his identity.
I smiled a little when i knew that Sanjay is sent to Yarwada jail where Mahatma spent much of his time. Infact for a long time i was thinking about postive punnishments and these days just because of the appeal of Sanjay i felt the need of such punnishments more. As we could have used his appeal for some purpose for our society.

The Nuke Deal

Well so the heat is on, on the nuke deal and now NDA wants parliamentary approval for the deal as if it has no knowledge about the rule and the fact that the deal doesn't needs that.
I want to say a few things about things going on these days. Three groups out off four in the parliament are against the deal and every one has separate reason for that. Lets see how; First about the so called UNPA. The group is against such deal with US and says that it is against the national interests, how they won't tell. Infact they had decided to go against anything which UPA does. After all they are making an alternative. There is Samajwadi Party which is opposing the deal because it is with USA and I still remember how happy Mr. Amar Singh was to throw red carpet to Mr. Clinton and posing his visit as the major achievement of the Samajwadi Party and thinking that others are not happy because Mr. Clinton is their guest. The show was embrassing but now they are posing of being anti American, with the C B Naidu, whose time was remarkable just because of visits from US and visits to US.
NDA is opposing the deal, saying it is against the national interest. I guess they think the interest of BJP and co. is the interest of the nation and as they could not make this deal and now UPA is making this deal so it is against. If they would have been in power they would have tried for the deal but alas the power changes every thing. George saab! you said nothing when you got stripted depite of being minister from India and now crying foul?
And the left, if the deal would have been with China, they would have supported it but it is US, the enemy of communism, though not of India, so they will be against it. Dear communists what you were thinking for last two years when the deal was in process? you were sleeping then? Now when the deal is final you got it bad? And yes communists were never in favour of India's nuke programme, and this deal is going to give uninterrupted uranium supply for India's nuke programms, so how communists can be happy with it. After all they will support only Iran's nuclear programme. Well communists China was not happy with the deal but now on your opposition they are happy. Feeling Good?
I am in favour of this deal because I know we need Uranium for our peaceful projects, for more power and for progress. The deal is on the basis of equality between US and India. This is for our energy needs. I see no harm in it. Dear Prime Minister if this time you surrender it will cast us much. please say firmly that the deal is done and it is for our future.

Chand aur manushya

रात यों कहने लगा मुझसे गगन का चाँद,
आदमी भी क्या अनोखा जीव होता है!
उलझनें अपनी बनाकर आप ही फँसता,
और फिर बेचैन हो जगता, न सोता है।

जानता है तू कि मैं कितना पुराना हूँ?
मैं चुका हूँ देख मनु को जनमते-मरते
और लाखों बार तुझ-से पागलों को भी
चाँदनी में बैठ स्वप्नों पर सही करते।
आदमी का स्वप्न? है वह बुलबुला जल का
आज बनता और कल फिर फूट जाता है
किन्तु, फिर भी धन्य ठहरा आदमी ही तो?
बुलबुलों से खेलता, कविता बनाता है।

मैं न बोला किन्तु मेरी रागिनी बोली,
देख फिर से चाँद! मुझको जानता है तू?
स्वप्न मेरे बुलबुले हैं? है यही पानी?
आग को भी क्या नहीं पहचानता है तू?
मैं न वह जो स्वप्न पर केवल सही करते,
आग में उसको गला लोहा बनाता हूँ,
और उस पर नींव रखता हूँ नये घर की,
इस तरह दीवार फौलादी उठाता हूँ।
मनु नहीं, मनु-पुत्र है यह सामने,
जिसकीकल्पना की जीभ में भी धार होती है,
बाण ही होते विचारों के नहीं केवल,
स्वप्न के भी हाथ में तलवार होती है।

स्वर्ग के सम्राट को जाकर खबर कर दे-
रोज ही आकाश चढ़ते जा रहे हैं वे,
रोकिये, जैसे बने इन स्वप्नवालों को,
स्वर्ग की ही ओर बढ़ते आ रहे हैं वे।
