Connection

 

This is so correct and perfect, when Allah is with us we need none, we need not ask, cry or beg to anyone but Him. He is Al- Razzak (The Sustainer). The provider of every morsel we eat, every cloth we wear, every relation that we bond with, every comfort of this life. He Al- Fattah (The opener). When you think that the ground below your feet has been swept off, He gives you wings to fly. If one door closes He opens another. He created us from the smallest particle, He is the owner of our heart and mind. He does feel the pain and agony we go through. He is the hearer and He is the healer. He is the Rab.

Kyun...

Visiting my home after a long gap left me with these thoughts...sometimes scared, sometimes in deep pain, resonance of past echoing in my ears... 


Kyun...
Lagte hain sune ab woh galiyaan
ab hua suna kyun woh makaan


Guzarte the saikdon bar jin dar o deewaron se
ab kyun guzar na pate hain un chowbaaron se
Jis darwaze pe hota tha hamara intezar
ab kyun lagta hai darr jane us chowkhat ke paar
Jo tha aangan mera, jahan beeta tha bachpan mera
ab kyun lagta hai woh bejaan sa ujda sa


Jiss chatt par chandini raaton mein suna karte the kahani aur kisse
ab kyun kale badal hai uske hisse
Jo ghar tha mera, jahan gunjti thi sirf khusiyaan
ab kyun gehra sannata hai chaya wahan
Jis ashiyane mein bune the woh hazaron khwaab
ab kyun lagta hai pura hona unka bemaine sa.......


Kyun badal gayi woh duniya
Kyun jud gaya gham se naata


Kyun na hogi koi khushiyaan ab wahan
Kyun na basega phir se koi gharonda wahan


Kyun jam gayi dhool waqt ki un khidkiyon pe
Kyun hogayi kamzor wahan ki buniyaad


Kyun ab koi rehta nahin wahan
Kyun ab koi hasta nahin wahan..............

Dear Daddy

One year, all 365 days passed but the feeling of loosing you is so fresh. They say time can heal even the worst of the wounds, then why is that so I could never let go the feeling of not being able to see you, never being able to hold your hand, never being able to hear all the courageous talk.......Dawn to dusk, spring to fall all the season passed by...All the celebrations and festivals were left lifeless without your presence....There are no words which could tell how you are missed. You left giving me the most precious moments, priceless memories, valued teachings and a cherished life....

Dreams, which will never die. I meet you there every night and sometimes day. I see you there holding my hand, hearing your heart beat the way I used to by lying on your chest as a kid and feeling the warmth of your hug.

Dreams, which sure do end when I open my eyes and leave my day with a hope. A hope of seeing and hearing you again...

Some might say this world today shows
God’s left us to our mistakes oh
He has never been so far away
Some might say
How could any father stand
To see his children across so many lands
Suffer so and give no helping hand
No helping hand
And somewhere tonight
Far away and out of sight
There’s a child that’s too weak to cry
Look deep in those eyes
Can’t you see him in disguise?
Reaching out to the heart that’s in you and I

In every tear
That is where
He is there

He’s the hand that wipes that brow
He’s the tear that trickles down
Upon the face that cries without a sound
We need you now
What a simple choice to make
Between what you give and what you take
When what you give
Such precious life precious life would save
Life would save
And somewhere inside
There’s a part of you asks why
Would he leave so many so far behind
Look deep in those eyes
Can’t you see him in disguise
Reaching out to the heart that’s in you and I

In every tear
That is where
He is there

Look again don’t hide your eyes
He is there in disguise
Reaching out to you and I
He is there in every tear
Not far away he’s right here
Oh how could he be more near

Song: He is there
Artist: Sami Yusuf
Lyrics: Conner Revees

Inevitable truth of Life - Death

Chitthi na koi sandes, is dil pe lagaa ke thes,
Jane woh kaunsa des jahan tum chalegaye........


How does it feel when you are immovable and everything arround you is moving.

How does it feel when you are not around your loved ones when they are in need.

How does it feel when you have to leave this world when you are only 25.

How does it feel to a father who taught you to walk and you are not here in every walk of his life.

How does it feel to a mother who gave you birth, and now loosing you to death.

How does it feel when you are not here to share the bed with your sister.

How does it feel for a brother to know you are not here to cook his favorite meal.. you are not here to team up with him....you are not here in everything of his.

How does it feel for a friend when you are not here to share the odds of life....you are not here to load the days with joy and laughter.

How should it feel to accept the fact that death took you away and we have to live with it.

How does it feel when the world around is going ahead without you in it.

How does it feel to know you are lost, lost forever.....

Life 101

Jeene ke liye socha hi nahin dard sambhalne honge.....muskuraye to muskurane ke karz utharne honge......



Are our lives fairy tales with happy endings...or are they just associated with the la la land where an unfortunate Cinderella's life changes to a remarkable fortune, sleeping beauty is awakened after decades by the kiss of the prince, knight on a white horse waiting for you. When would you call it to be a happy ending? When a person departs from this world after fulfilling his/her dreams, responsibilities, giving a better life to his/her family, leading a life by following the righteous path, or having a blessed hereafter. We come alone in to this world and leave alone, and of course we all need company in the form of friends, roomies and soulmate to accomplish this journey. Sometimes the company might bring you undoubted happiness and others an experience of lifetime....though good or bad....you got to learn the world more closely.

My philosophy of happy ending accounts with each task taken up throughout our lives. Having enthusiasm to start it, zeal to get it rite and end it successfully with dedication and hard work....isn't it a happy ending??? after all our life is a agglomeration of small events and happenings...

Destination Moon

Chandrayaan 1, India's maiden moon mission marked its history on October 22nd, 2008 yet another space achievement for India after its launch of first satellite in 1975. Only after ten years of hardwork and dedication of the scientists at ISRO (Indian Space and Research Organisation) this dream of unmanned mission to moon could be possible. Its a scientific breakthrough for India and for young Indians who now can look beyond IT. Rocket science, astrophysics and aim to become an astronaut will be the budding dream among the young air of India and who knows one of them could actually take off from our own land to moon in near future.

This moon exploration took me back to my engineering days, the field trip to the Ground Station Complex at Shadnagar, Andhra Pradesh which is a data receiving center for Indian and Foreign Remote Sensing Satellites. where I was amazed to see the huge antennas and their use in receiving the data. The internship hunt at NRSA, Hyderabad, where the data was evaluated and distributed to various parts of the world. The data collected is used to study earth's climatic changes, ocean currents, precipitation etc. But years after witnessing the ever changing climate, polluted environment, global warming etc., makes me think about the greed of mankind to go beyond. Browsing through the net I found an interesting website where lunar land was for sale ....ah huh..real estate on moon ...not a bad idea to exploit another celestial body for our own purpose. I would like to know how the lunar embassy works and the rules on which it gives visas to aliens like us. But not to forget that though with this moon mission we might have our flag on moon's landscape along with four other countries but will not be able to own the land as of now...
I guess that day is not too far...

In order to popularize myself with space science and Chandrayaan 1, I visited the ISRO's website for the first time. It was interesting to know about the milestones achieved and their future projects. It was a proud moment for me as an Indian. We today challenge the world leaders even in the field of space science and make them feel the need to strive hard in order to sustain their leadership.

P.S: Ain't any expert....just shared my view.
