Perfect Boss....


Perfect Boss . . .

There were about 70 scientists working on a very hectic project. All of

them were really frustrated due to the pressure of work and the demands of their


boss but everyone was loyal to him and did not think of quitting the job.


One day, one scientist came to his boss and told him - Sir, I have promised

 

to my children that I will take them to the exhibition going on in our

township. So I want to leave the office at 5 30 pm.

His boss replied "OK, You"re permitted to leave the office early today"

The Scientist started working. He continued his work after lunch. As usual

he got involved to such an extent that he looked at his watch when he felt


he was close to completion.The time was 8.30 PM. Suddenly he remembered

of    the promise he had given to his children.

He looked for his boss,,He was not there. Having told him in the morning

itself, he closed everything and left for home.

Deep within himself, he was feeling guilty for having disappointed his

children.He reached home. Children were not there.His wife alone was

sitting in the hall and reading magazines.


The situation was explosive, any talk would boomerang on him. His wife

asked him "Would you like to have coffee or shall I straight away serve dinner

if you are hungry.


The man replied "If you would like to have coffee, i too will have but what


about Children ??"


Wife replied "You don"t know ?? Your manager came here at 5.15 PM and has

taken the children to the exhibition "

What had really happened was ... The boss who granted him permission was

observing him working seriously at 5.00 PM. He thought to himself, this

person will not leave the work, but if he has promised his children they

should enjoy the visit to exhibition.

So he took the lead in taking them to exhibition

The boss does not have to do it everytime. But once it is done, loyalty is

established.


That is why all the scientists at Thumba continued to work under their boss

eventhough the stress was tremendous.

By the way , can you hazard a guess as to who the boss was..?

He was none other than Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, Ex-President of India .. . .

Apna Diwana De Muje ko......

अपना दीवाना बना दे मुझ को
कुछ तो उल्फत की सजा दे मुझ को........सइ कैस

अपना दामन संभाल कर रखीऐ
जिंदगी रक्स है शरारों का ......शाद

अपनी रुसवाई में क्या चलती है सइ
यार ही हंगामाआरा चाहिए .....गालिब

अपने मरने का गम नहीं लेकिन
हाय तुझ से जुदाई होती है .......जफर

अपने गम का नहीं मलाल मुझे
जिस कदर है तेरा ख्याल मुझे.....शाद


अपनी ही खबर नहीं है हम को
बेकार किसी की जुस्तजू है.....पंडित जगमोहननाथ रैना "शौक"


अपनी सूरत पर किया पैदा उसे अल्लाहने
क्यूँ सजावारे परस्तिश सूरते आदम नहीं?


इक न इक जुल्मत से जब वाबस्ता रहना है तो जोश
जिंदगी पर से-ऐ-जुल्फे-परीशां क्यों न हो ...........जोश...

Sukh Dukh...


દુ:ખની દીવાલે મોર સમયના મૂંગા હતા,લાગે છે એટલે જ આ આંસુ ઊનાં હતા!



હોવાનો અર્થ આ રીતે અહીંયા જટિલ છે,

છે દ્વાર ક્યાં છતાંય કહે છે ખૂલાં હતાં!



પરબિડિયાની વચ્ચે ઉદાસી ઊગી હશે,

શબ્દો તો એના એ જ છે અર્થો જુદા હતા!



ક્રુપા કરીને ખુશ્બુ અલગ તારવો નહીં,

ફૂલોની વચ્ચે થાકીને રંગો સૂતા હતાં!



દિવસો જ દોસ્ત જેમ અહીં આથમી ગયા,

સૂરજની જેમ નહિ તો અમે પણ ઊભા હતા!

Tara Vina.....


તારું એકનું  નામ  જ  લેવું  બીજાનું  નહી  લેવું  રે,તારા  વિના  નામ  બીજાનું  :  દેવાદારનું  દેવું  રે.



એક  વ્રક્ષનો  બાગ- બગીચો  :  એક  બુંદનો દરિયો રે,

એક નામમાં  મળી  ગયું  છે  હજાર  નામના  જેવું  રે.



એક  ડાળ  પર  ટહુકો  બેઠો : એક  પીંછામાં  પંખી  રે,

એક  નામનું  આકાશ  ઝૂલે  મારે  માથે  એવું રે.



તારા વિના  કાંઇ  ન  બીજું : એટલું  મારે  કહેવું  રે,

શબ્દો  ઓછા  પડતા  હોય  તો  મૌનને  લૂંટી  લેવું

Tamara Charan Kamal ma.....

તમારા ચરણ-કમળમાં બેસું
હળુ હળુ તવ શ્વાસ મહીં હું હળવે રહી પ્રવેશું.
નીરવ ગતિ, મૌનની છાયા
ક્યાંય નહીં હોય કદી પડછાયા
તાર મળ્યો ત્યાં આપણે કહોને શબ્દોમાં શું કહેશું?
હું રતિ, હું કામ : હું રાધા હું શ્યામ
ઉમા-શિવના શીત અગ્નિની લગની ભયી લલામ
દ્રૈત અદ્રૈત ચૈતન્ય લીલામાં કોણ હોડી ને કોણ હલેસું!

woh kehte hai....

 वो कहते है के
वो नाराज़ नहीं ...
फिर क्यूँ कर
कोई आवाज़ नहीं????
वो हमारी बातों पर
रूठ जाना
कुछ कहते कहते
चुप हो जाना
हमारी नादानी पर मुस्कुराना
और फिर गुस्सा दिखाना
हमारे मनाने पर
ना मानना
और फिर अचानक खिलखिलाना .........

अब ऐसा नहीं कुछ
शायद नाराज़ है वो सच मुच
ना ही हसी , ना मुस्कराहट
चंद दिनों से....
नहीं कोई आहट

वो पहले जैसा प्यार नहीं
और वो कहते है के
वो नाराज़ नहीं.....................

Monsoon.......

જો અષાઢી સાદ જેવુ છે કશુંક
આભમાં ઉન્માદ જેવું છે કશુંક

યક્ષ ભીતરનો વિરહવ્યાકુળ છે
ક્યાંક ભીની યાદ જેવુ છે કશુંક

હું કહું, વરસાદમાં આવી પલળ
તું કહે, મરજાદ જેવુ છે કશુંક

મોર ટહુકા સાંભળી લે તું ગગન
છે ધરા પર દાદ જેવુ છે કશુંક

સીમમાં આવી હવા કહી ગઇ મને
ગામમાં વરસાદ જેવું છે કશુંક
