lafenge parinde..........

यौवन आते ही उन्मुक्त हो उठे
उन्माद में भयमुक्त हो उठे
जमीं से कहा उगे थे जो
आसमा से उँचे हो उठे

पहली आजादी के अहसास से
खुलेपन की सास से
चलना कहा सिखा था
गिर पड़े उड़ने के कयास से

हवाओं से बाते करते थे
रफ़्तारो से मुलाकातें करते थे
कब मौत ने जिंदगी को पछाड़ दिया
हम तो आपसी हौड़ लगाया करते थे

फ़िक्र को धुआ करने मे
सूखे कंठ में मिठास भरने मे
कश लगाया पहली बार
हर पहलु का आभास करने मे

न जाना इस दलदल को
न माना इस हलाहल को
धसते गये इस मीठे जहर मे
लील गया धुआ जीवन को

उलझन तो महज बहाना था
रंगीन पानी में नहाना था
जाम पर जाम लेते थे
जीवन ही हमे भुलाना था

बेखुदी में खुदी खो बैठे
तैरने मे जमीं खो बैठे
बहकावा तो पल भर का था
पल भर मे कल खो बैठे

प्यार के बुखार मे
अपरिप्क्व इश्क की हार मे
प्यार का मतलब जाना नहीं
डुब गये फ़ंस बीच मंझधार में

थे न हम कभी खुदा के बंदे
हर नए मोड़ पर गुमनाम कांरिदे
खुला आसमां देख भटक गये
अब परकटे हम लंफ़गे परिंदे

NO DADA NO IPL..........

” Mayank...do not hang to the past. Saurav is out of prime. He is part of history”

This was the reply I got when I was advocating for saurav ganguly my fav. Player in the IPL by one of the highest mind in my virtual book of faces i.e. facebook. Although, I was expecting such reply but it made me to think again that whether a person is worthy only in his prime and prominent days. He should be respected, favored and defended only in his days of limelight. Is it morally right to leave some one who is now powerless and can’t aid you further? Then why the hell we talk about moral rights, values and other blah blah things. We are driven only by money not by emotions or respect or any other social or moral value.

Now lets came back to topic, the present treatment of Sourav Ganguly in IPL is an exact replica of 21st century money minded socialism. No matter how valuable you were in the past, how many sacrifices you had done for this country, how much you had suffered to raise the flag of this country in any hard circumstances. You would be respected only if you can fetch some money else you are just past. A book which is never meant to be open again.

I was just thinking on this situation and found it similar to putting your parents in seclusion in their old ages. The contribution of Ganguly in the nourishment of team can be assumed similar to that of the sacrifices of parents for a young child. But later parents also becomes past, they are of no use, no benefit from them. But do we discard them?? But guess this is the new trend. So do not expect any thing from your colleagues as you will also gonna rejected in the same way. We have materialized all our emotions.

Looking at the current scenario I heavily doubt on doing any benevolence as later it will surely be forgotten. Politics rules everywhere and you can’t move ahead by pacing yourself but by decelerating other’s pace. Pull others leg and throw him out of the race else some one surely gonna do the same with you. As far as IPL is considered sourav ganguly was my favorite throughout his entire cricketing carrier as the first ever cricket match which I watched he scored 183 runs in that. I have watched only his batting in all the 3 IPLs and he has scored fairly good compare to many other players who are sold at very high price. He deserves to be a part of this marketing dimension of cricket and if not then for me NO DADA NO IPL.
