To see a world in a grain of sand

Kabhi kisi ko mukammal jahan nahi milta
Kahin zameen toh kahin aasmaan nahi milta

Jise bhi dekhiye wo apne aap mein gumm hai
Zubaan mili hai magar hum-zubaan nahi milta
Kabhi kisi ko mukammal jahan nahi milta

Bhuja saka hai bhala kaun, waqt ke sholay
Ye aisi aag hai jismay, dhuaan nahi milta
Kabhi kisi ko mukammal jahan nahi milta

Tere jahaan mein aisa nahi ke pyar na ho
Jahan umeed ho iski, wahan nahi milta
Kabhi kisi ko mukammal jahan nahi milta
Kahin zameen toh kahin aasmaan nahi milta

-Nida Fazli

Non-violence or Victimisation?

One article after another, one site after another, I should just stop, for my own sanity's sake. Each story is more gut wrenching than the next. How many more Indians need to be sacrificed at the terrorist altar for our countrymen to wake up and retaliate?

Our PM says "We will win the war on terror." How? By just wishing it to be so? By prayer? By standing in the sidelines and watching the bloodshed?

Are we such a lame and passive nation?

Newbie on the block

She's all wrong, they said
She cant walk and she cant talk
All she does is throw a sock
Oh, boy she cant do that either too well
But we have no time to dwell
On such inane histrionics
Cos we are on tonics
To be entertained by the best
We're sorry your girl is not as good as the rest

But, she's my baby , I wail
She's good as gold, she wont fail
She's the apple of my eye
Sweet as a pie
Give her another chance to show
Just how well she can bow
and sing and dance and talk
Cos after all, she's but a newbie on the block.
