अधूरी ख्वाहिशें तरसती हैं उनके जाने के बाद
अधूरी ख्वाहिशें तरसती हैं उनके जाने के बादथमी सांसे चलने लगती हैं उनके जाने के बाद आसमान खुला लगने लगा था उनके होने पेमोहब्बत कमबख्त बरसती है उनके जाने के बाद सुना है महेफिले सजा करती है मेरे जाने के बादजुल्फें भी बिखरती होगी अब मेरे जाने के बाद गम के बादल बिखरा करते थे…

I came across this movement (Conscious Planet) last week. The aim is to make the human race conscious about saving the soil. It claims 52% of agricultural soil is already degraded. And it’s only a few hundred crop cycles before we will see a huge shortage of food in the whole world. I don’t want…

વસૂલ
“લાઈટ ચાલુ રાખીને ક્યાં જતો રહ્યો? નથી દોડાતું હવે. સાઈઠ થશે હવે થોડા વરસ માં” “હા હવે, તો કોણ કહે છે દોડવાનું… કરી દઉં છું… બસ બે મિનિટ માટે ચાર્જર લેવા ગયો હતો. પણ દરેક સેકન્ડ વસૂલ કરવાની હોય ને આપણે. અને એટલું બધું બિલ ના આવે કઈ લાઈટનું.” “હા … હવે ઘરમાં બધા કમાનારા…

Money : a bunch of ironies
For some reason, past few months (or years), I’ve been thinking and hearing a lot about and around money. Cryptocurrencies, stock market, taxation, inflation, deflation and what not! Definitely working from home (or rather not going out in the world) has been a huge factor, but a lot of credit goes to recent stocks/crypto trends.…

My two cents on Varnas
Disclaimer: The thoughts described are just my understanding and neither facts nor proven theories, so just read it with a pinch of salt.

I came across this article today. It said we are actually going towards centralised world on the internet. This came as a surprise to me given the cryptocurrency boom and decentralized applications scene. I was pretty sure we were moving towards decentralized world.

If 2018 = 14 + 12 + 1992, does 2018 exist?
I know it’s pretty late night, but do you ever feel like your whole life is already lived? I mean, does it ever happen that this part of your life is already lived by your uncle x years ago, or the next steps you’re going to take is what your dad or grandfather did. And…

અપેક્ષા
રંગ રંગમાં ભળીને રંગ જ રહે ને ભલા, ભલે ને પછી ધમપછાડા તું કેટલાય કર. તું ધોળી એક વાદળી, હું વાદળ જો શ્યામ, ભળી જઈએ જાણે કોઈ દૂધ ને સાકર. જો તું ખીલી કબાટની, ને હું કપડું ટિંગાયેલું, છૂટું પડવામાય તો છે હવે વેતરાવાનો ડર. તું પેલું કોહવાતું લાકડું, ને હું લહરાતો સઢ, રહેશે જો…

नन्हे बालक की चिड़िया
मैं बालक नन्हा, नादानी में, चिड़िया लेकर आया हूं। क्या बतलाउ उस चक्कर में फिर कितना पछताया हूं ॥ उसको भाए ये मन मेरा, मैं उसके गीत पे पगलाया हूं। आई है मर्ज़ी से अपने, न कुछ समझाया फुसलाया हूं॥ चाहे वक्त की बारिश हो या हो छींटे अनबन के, मैं हमेशा उसका भीगा छाता…
