Realties of Life

I am not a person who reads poems... and has got a literature taste. But Sh. Dushyant Kumar is one of the poets who really interest me. His way of writing is so impressive that after reading his collection of poems, I thought that what should be better than this. I am not criticizing others or saying that others are not so good. But for me Dushyant is best. He shows how real world react to situations, what are the real people like and what is real life like.

Here I am quoting some of his Shers: -

"Ho gayi hai peer parvat si pighalni chaiye,
is Himalaya se bhi Ganga Niklani chaiye"

"Mere Seene me Nahi to tere Seene me Sahi,
Ho Kahi Bhi lekin aag lagni Chaiye"
T - If not in my heart, then be it in yours,
There must be a FIRE anyhow

Doesn't matter who changes the world, but it should be changed.

"Jale jo ret me talve to hamne ye dekha,
bahut se log wahin chatpate ke baith gaye"
T- When feet got burned in Sand, then I saw,
Many of them sit there only

When reality comes, many persons just don't try. They get failed because they want to cross the difficulties.

"Dukandaar to mele me lut gaye yaaron,
Tamashbeen Dukaane laga ke baith gaye"
T - Shopkeepers got robbed in Fares,
The viewers have opened there shops now

The Genuine people are pushed back, and fake persons take their people.

"Ye soch kar ki Darakhton Ki Chhaon Hoti Hai,
Yahan Babool ke saaye me aake Baith Gaye"
T - We thought that trees give shades,
We sit beneath the tree of Babool (Acacia),

Took help from wrong persons just because they have got such big names.

"IS sadak par is kadar keechad bichhi hai,
har kisi ka paaon guthnon tak sana h"
T- There is so much Mud on Road,
Every leg is mudded till Knees

Politicians, Lawyers, Doctors, Business Persons, and lot many

"Rakt varshon se khaulta h,
aap kahte h chhanik uttejana h"
T - Blood is boiling from years,
And you say its a seconds boil..

"Ho Gai Har Gaath par poori Vyavastha,
Shauk se doobo jise bhi doobna h"
T - There is full preparation on the banks of rivers,
Get drowned by your own wish

"Doston ab Manch par suvidha nahi h,
Aajkal Naipathya me sambhwana h"
T - There is no scope on Front Stage,
Now a days there are lot of opportunities on Back Stage

Writes about Clandestine People..

"Khuda nahi, Na Sahi, Aadmi Ka Khwab Sahi,
Koi Haseen Nazara to Hai Nazar Ke liye"
T- There is no proof of existence of God, Might be a human dream,
But it is a very nice satisfaction for the eyes...

Shows that many a times in real life there are no real facts but only the decorations and misleading illusions created for mass.. This whole poem refers to that, I have taken only a couplet.


"EK Ubharte Jwar Ka Aaweg Madim ho chala hai,
Ek halka sa Dundhalka tha kahi, kam ho chala h,
Yeh Shila pighale na pighale, rasta nam ho chala h,
KYON KAROON AAKASH KI MANUHAAR
AB TO PATH YAHI HAI"
T - The speed of tide is slowing down,
There was fog somewhere, it has reduced,
This Stone may not melt, but now the path is easy,
WHY TO LOOK FOR SKY,
NOW THIS IS MY WAY!!

This poem is based on the compromises of life...


Really the life is full of lot many Truths, Compromises, Love and Struggle. Dushyant Ji has portrayed this very beautiful in his short collection of Poems.

An Encounter with Euphoria

I was chatting to one of my friends and the topic came up of the Euphoria performing in Melange 2010. EUPHORIA and that too in our college.. Is it some kind of a joke?? A Rumour?? I contacted other friends... everyone has heard of news but no one confirmed it. Finally I got this confirmed with the help of a poster (on Picassa Album).

7th March... Sunday Eve... Springs in its full swing....Cool Breeze... An Awesome Setting for the Awesome Event to happen...


Par ye do kaminey... Shalabh n Mayank.. No decision till last moment (highly tired, busy bees).. After high discussions, they both finally agreed to attend the concert.

But what the hell... Entry closed before 7.00pm(as we came to know) and we reached there by 7.45pm. A good mob of students waiting to get in.. Thanks to some good students (who used their sources) and Uday Singhta Sir that we were finally permitted to get in... Thank God..

Finally after high drama we at last entered the campus for concert...

EUPHORIA

Euphoria is a state of mind in hypomania where they say that creativity is as its best.
Euphoria were among the first to bring rock culture to India. they mixed Electric Guitar with traditional instruments like the Tabla, Dholak and Sitar to create mesmerizing effect. With Dr. Palash Sen (yeah.. he is MBBS, a gynaecologist) as its lead singer and the mind behind this band, Euphoria is also decorated by Benjamin Pinto (Benny - Man with Long Hairs on Keys), Debajyoti Bhaduri (DJ - a Bassist and Acoustic Guitarist), Rakesh Bhardwaj (Percussionist), Prashant Trivedi (Tabla), Ashwini Verma (Tullu - The powerful drummer) and Hitesh Madan (Rikki - The Cute Guitarist).

Concert

I got late to attend the beginning of the show. But by the time I reached there Palash Sen was up there on the stage performing. Am I really in my college... Man this is great to see Euphoria live in front of your eyes - Performing and that too in IMS (my dear friends from IMS will get this line).

There was Rikki on the Left Side, Benny on Right Side, Tullu far in the middle, Prashant and Rakesh on the Far Left Corner and Polly the Great right in front singing. DJ was on the right hand on Polly.

Some of the memorable moments were the Special Jugalbandi between Tullu and Polly, the soft romantic song with Mobile Phones of the crowd lighting and swinging in the air, the Don performance by Benny, the special Tabla by Prashant and the Maaeri & Dhoom Pichuk by Polly. I specially loved his "Lai Meri Pat Rakhiyo Bala". This is one of my fav songs and I loved it when Euphoria performed it in their own way.

I was just falling short of few steps to be in front. Suddenly there was some sort of disturbance in Crowd. Ahh!! This gave us a huge space and we came up right in front. Than I shot some wonderful pics of Euphoria. (Check out on my Picassa Album)

Initially we enjoyed to the tunes of Euphoria... but it was not possible to stand still and listen songs... We came back in open and then danced to our hearts...
Over there I met Prabhat, Shahbaz, Vivek, with their friends dancing like weirds... Novil Choudhary showed his break dance skills. Shalabh with his some special leg dance skills was rocking. And Tuchha (Shivam Mohan Sharma) with his punjabi moves. Except Mac, everybody showed their dance skills.... Kabhi dance nahi kar sakta, sirf Cricket khilvao isse.

After enjoying, dancing, jumping, shouting and doing lots of other crazy stuffs, the concert came to end. We had our dinner in the Mess, chit-chatted with some friends and finally came back to our rooms driving scooter without headlight.

Today morning, 8th March, when I woke up I found my voice lost due to unlimited shouting, and legs paining hard. By noon, I felt that my whole body was paining as if I have just done a lot of exercise. Yeah after all I did a lot of it..

Lyrics - Aage Jaane Ram Kya Hoga
Hey-e-ey aa re meri dhadkan aa re
Chaand ke hain sang sitaare
Saath rehtein hain woh saare main akela re
Khilkhilaati hain woh nadiyaa, nadiyaa mein hai ek naiyaa,
Naiyaa ka main hoon khiwaiyyaa kyon akela re
Ab aa bhi jaa sab ko bataa kya tera mera naataa re
Tum ho meri main tumhaara
Chhotaa sa sansaar humaaraa
Aage jaane Ram kyaa hogaa
Kehtaa hai jo kahe zamaanaa
Tera mera pyaar puraanaa
Aage jaane Ram kyaa hogaa

Jaise diyaa aur baati, saare sukh dukh ke hum saathi
Behki purvaiyaa hai gaati main tumhaaraa re
Ho...Raat meri din hain tere, Tere aansun ab hain mere
Pyaar ke honge sawere na ghabraanaa re
Ab na sharmaa sab ko bataa kya tera mera naataa re
