SHIQURDU: 20

जो जाहिर हो जाए वह दर्द कैसा

और

जो दर्द को महसूस ना कर सके

वह हमदर्द कैसा..

चले तो थे दोस्तों का पूरा काफिला लेकर…

पर कुछ “जुदा” हो गए

कुछ “खुदा” हो गए…

कुछ “गुमशुदा” हो गए,

और

 

कुछ “शादीशुदा” हो गए,

किस्मत की किताब

खूब लिखी थी मेरी खुदा ने

बस वही पन्ना गुम था

जिसमे सकूं का जिक्र था.

कील के  हौसले की तरह टिके  रहो .

तस्वीरों का क्या.

वो तो वक्त के साथ बदलती हैं

जुबानी इबादत ही काफ़ी नहीं

ख़ुदा सुनता  है ख़यालात भी

 

  • Shiqurdu is a collection of thoughts. Although an odd sounding name, but felt appropriate for the collection.

 

  • These are simplified quotes in Hurdu (Hurdu being a mix of Hindi and Urdu akin to Hinglish i.e., hindi and english). Although in some cases the language has been simplified but attempt has been made to retain the thought and the poetic flavor.

 

  • These thoughts have been picked up from various publications. Credit goes to all the original writers who penned down these deep meaning messages.

TRIBUTE TO GANDHI

 

Gandhiji was born on 2 October 1869 in Porbandar city of Gujarat.

 

He is revered the world over as one of history’s most transformative and inspirational figures known for his paragon of ethical living and pacifism.

 

He was a fearless campaigner for the rights and dignity of all people, whose constant and unwavering promotion of non-violence as a tool to win over hearts and minds has forever left its mark on the world.

 

His life achievement stands unique in political history. He invented a completely new and humane means for the liberation war. He is admired for his calm, courage and compassion.

 

In India he is referred to as Bapu (father of the nation). Origin of this title is traced back to a radio address (on Singapore radio) on 6 July 1944 by Subhash Chandra Bose where Bose addressed Gandhiji as “The Father of the Nation”.

 

He was also given the title of Mahatma, (taken from the Sanskrit words maha – meaning great and atma – meaning Soul. Rabindranath Tagore is said to have accorded this title to him.

Double Celebration: One year of Blogging and 200th Post

Air Marshal’s Perspective

(Candid and to the point – काम की बात)

Ranked 13th in the list of Top 25 Indian Defence Blogs and Websites

 

 

 

This blog was started in the month of September 2020.  It has been one year since then, with 200 posts.

 

Enjoyed researching topics related to defence, security, geo-politics, technology, leadership and management etc. The posts were interspersed with some humour and quotes.

 

Tried to live up to the motto of the blog – “Candid and to the point – काम की बात”. Most of the posts are short ones (two to three pages), covering the essence of the topic in bullet form.

 

The credit for starting the blog goes to my course mate and friend Col Murali. He provided me the space, encouraged me and held my hand initially.

 

Credit also goes to another course mate Vicky Sheorey for getting me all the equipment needed for video conference and recordings.

 

Sincere Thanks to all the subscribers and readers for the encouragement.

 

To provide a panoramic view of the blog, here are the links to the posts on various topics:-
