Defining Being

As you may know me.... I try to pen my feelings, with more honesty than with language and grammar. While reading the posts below you may experience what compelled me to write these.
While I was thinking of giving a name to my Blog; this came to me; "Nuances of Being"
Being "Me" is the best that I am at and hope that will show in the posts below

And Thanks for reading

उल्लुओं के पीछे

 In this day and age, many are becoming just “trend- follower.” And there are too many trends to follow.(social media trends, business trends, sports trends, political view trends and trends on almost all what matters or doesn’t). Even though many find a lot of these trends questionable. Then there are those who won't follow and will be considered "uncool." Many just feel forced by pure peer pressure to follow the trends. A confession, I might have toggled between being UNCOOL and forced follower myself from time to time. The lines below are just thoughts of  trend followers, forced or by choice.




हर शाख पे उल्लू बैठा था

तो हम भी उल्लू हो लिए

बर्बाद गुलिस्ताँ होता देखा पर 
उदास आँखे मींचे सो लिए 

फिर सोचा इन शाखों पे
कितने उल्लू हम जैसे होंगे
जो बाज की फितरत रखते थे
पर उल्लुओं के पीछे हो लिए


सोचो, बाज बाज ही रहते तो 

गुलिस्ताँ अब भी आबाद होता






Note: Didnt click any Owl or Hawk pictures so birds in pics are different.

    1. Thanks Alok. You are the Hawk in the real life... थोड़े से बाज है जिन्हे मै जानता हु. You are one of those.

  2. This is very true but when your conscience wakes up phir uulu pana se door rehna asaan ho jaata hai.

    1. True, but many need to wake up for the Garden to be green again
