ऐश्वर्या

मेरी प्यारी ऐश्वर्या

प्यारी प्यारी ऐश्वर्या

तेरी टूटी फूटी बात

छोटे छोटे हाथों का साथ

तेरा कोमल सा स्पर्श

वो सदाबहार उत्कर्ष

अनगिनत चुम्बन

कभी झूठमूठ का अनबन

न ख़त्म होने वाली उर्जा

हर पल जीवन का मजा

खिलखिला के हँसना

जो कभी जोर जोर से रोना

कंधे पे लटकना

आँखों का मटकना

तेरी हरेक बात

और पूरी की पूरी तू

बहुत प्यारी लगती है


प्रभु कृपा सदा बना रहे!

Love you!

Anna and Ramdev.. whats cooking?

Anna's movement is being supported by the suffering common man. Team Anna's decision to join hands with Baba Ramdev raises many questions in my mind. Will this decision make the movement weaker? Are Baba Ramdev's much hyped higly priced range of products any good for comman man? Is misusing and misleading own blind supporters and bringing their life on risk at the Ramleela Maidan in Delhi, expected from a mass leader?. Is the way he tried to flee from there, a sign of great leader? Doesn't Baba have some loose ends which makes him prone to being black-mailed by the government? Though I strongly disagreed to the shameful action taken by govt of India through my post.

In one of my post I raised a question "When the complete infrastructure of democracy is crumbling, what is the guarantee that the Lokpals and Lokpal bill will not meet the same fate? Is it a conspiracy to transfer the power from elected members to a set of non elected members?" Another question here is why the UPA govt will bring a strong anti corruption lokpal bill? Their members are the major beneficiary of the corruption. Why they will axe themselves?

I believe that instead of looking for back door entry, now it is the time that a new national party should be launched by team Anna and honest and educated candidates who have proven themselves in their fields should be given ticket. They should take the message in every corner of India. India will definitely vote for change! Once in power they can reciprocate upon the trust by voters. They can bring the strong Lokpal, Right to recall, Right to Reject and every act necessary for people and for India.

Still I support Anna, Baba or anyone who are up for these movement. I support with a hope that something good will happen which is not expected either from the two largest alliances UPA and NDA or some one else. Hope our children will have a better life and they will not have to suffer they way we are.
Here is a poem and another link from my previous post in support.

Auf Wiedersehen Deutschland!

Auf Wiedersehen Deutschland!
Goodbye Germany!

I cannot believe how fast
the great two years have gone
thanks friends and collegues
you never let me feel alone!

You have been so friendly,
nice, cooperative, kind
the memories here will
always be in my mind!

So long we worked together,
had discussions and code walk
so many learning sessions,
enlightening technical talk!

Some time we hung out
and strolled through the hill
little chat in the kitchen
with tea, coffee and basil!

I will miss the nature
Oberstdorf and Constance lake
and the rich swabian culture
Bretzel, Spätzle and Cake!

Health, happiness, harmony
for you, to God I pray
and make a little wish
to meet you again some day!

Please accept my gratitude
and greetings everyone
and accept my good bye
as the time has come!

vielen dank alle zusammen
wenderbar, angenehm
viel glück, gesundheit
bis dann, auf wiedersehen!

- Amitabh Ranjan Jha

Two other poems I composed while my stay in Germany can be read at below links:
Rhine Falls
God bless Germany
सौ सौ नमन जर्मनी

And here is a beautiful reply by my colleague Doris:

As you’ve headed back
to your dear motherland,
I wish you well
in all you take to hand.

The good experiences you’ve had-
may they ever be afresh.
And the unpleasant ones
to teach you something nevertheless.

The world is small
well, so they say.
But it was always meant
to be that way.

So until we meet
Or ‘Au revoir’!
Dir alles Gute,
A little game of ‘word war’!
