Dowry and dowry law in India


In India, Dowry is becoming the biggest crime which really needs a strong law against it. Because of dowry, society feels women is a financial burden on the family. The demand for dowry has increased over time. In a 1980 study conducted by Rao, 75% of students responded that dowry was not important to marriage, but 40% of their parents’ likely expected dowry. Dowry in India is not limited to any specific religion. It is widespread among Hindus and other religions. For example, Indian Muslims call dowry as jahez, justify the practice in terms of jahez-e-fatimi. Islamists classify jahez into two categories: The first comprises some essential articles for the outfit of the bride as well as for conjugal life. The other is made up of valuable goods, clothes, jewelry, an amount of money for the groom's family, which is settled on after bargaining. The jahez often far exceeds the cost of the baraat and marriage parties. The jahez is separate from cash payment as Mahr or dower that Sharia religious law requires.

Dowry crimes can occur with the threat or occurrence of violence, so that the bride’s family is left with no choice but to give more dowry to protect their daughter. The northern and eastern states of India show higher rates of dowry-related violence. Dowry is considered a major contributor towards observed violence against women in India. Some of these offences include physical violence, emotional abuses, and even murder of brides and young girls prior to marriage. The predominant types of dowry crimes relate to cruelty (which includes torture and harassment), domestic violence (including physical, emotional and sexual assault), abatement to suicide and dowry death (including, issues of bride burning and murder).

`dowry’ means any property or valuable security given or agreed to be given either directly or indirectly by one party to a marriage to the other party to the marriage; or by the parents of either party to a marriage or by any other person, to either party to the marriage or to any other person; at or before or any time after the marriage in connection with the marriage of said parties but does not include dower or mahr in the case of persons to whom the Muslim Personal Law (Shariat) applies.

Dowry Prohibition Act 1961

The Dowry Prohibition Act 1961 prohibits the request, payment or acceptance of a dowry "as consideration for the marriage", where "dowry" is defined as a gift demanded or given as a precondition for a marriage. Gifts given without a precondition are not considered dowry, and are legal, per section 3(2). Asking for or giving of dowry can be punished by imprisonment of up to six months, a fine of up to Rs. 15000 or the amount of dowry (whichever is higher), or imprisonment up to 5 years. It replaced several pieces of anti-dowry legislation that had been enacted by various Indian states.

Helen Keller - A Deaf and Blind world famous speaker, author and political activist

“Once I knew the depth where no hope was, and darkness lay on the face of all things. Then love came and set my soul free. Once I knew only darkness and stillness. Now I know hope and joy.”
“I was appointed on a commission to investigate the conditions of the blind. For the first time I, who had thought blindness a misfortune beyond human control, found that too much of it was traceable to wrong industrial conditions, often caused by the selfishness and greed of employers. And the social evil contributed its share. I found that poverty drove women to a life of shame that ended in blindness.”
– Helen Keller
A woman who had no eyes, no ears but heard the world & saw the world. She never felt difficulties due to her disabilities & enjoyed the world. A disable person always needs a support but she gave the support to other blind, deaf & dumb people. She made her life an example for them who have everything but living a hopeless & depress life or for those women who thinks she is facing the worst. Helen Keller shown that how worst can be the best.
Helen Adams Keller was born on June 27, 1880, in Tuscumbia, Alabama. Helen Keller was born with the ability to see and hear. At 19 months old, she contracted an illness. The illness left her both deaf and blind. At that time, she was able to communicate somewhat with Martha Washington, the six-year-old daughter of the family cook, who understood her signs; by the age of seven, Keller had more than 60 home signs to communicate with her family.
In 1886, A physician J. Julian Chisolm, an eye, ear, nose, and throat specialist in Baltimore referred the Kellers to Alexander Graham Bell, who was working with deaf children at the time. Bell advised them to contact the Perkins Institute for the Blind at Bridgman. Michael Anagnos, the school's director, asked 20-year-old former student Anne Sullivan, herself visually impaired, to become Keller's instructor. It was the beginning of a 49-year-long relationship during which Sullivan evolved into Keller's governess and eventually her companion.
Anne Sullivan arrived at Keller's house in March 1887, and immediately began to teach Helen to communicate by spelling words into her hand, beginning with "d-o-l-l" for the doll that she had brought Keller as a present. Keller was frustrated, at first, because she did not understand that every object had a word uniquely identifying it. In fact, when Sullivan was trying to teach Keller the word for "mug", Keller became so frustrated she broke the mug. Keller's big breakthrough in communication came the next month, when she realized that the motions her teacher was making on the palm of her hand, while running cool water over her other hand, symbolized the idea of "water"; she then nearly exhausted Sullivan demanding the names of all the other familiar objects in her world.
Starting in May 1888, Keller attended the Perkins Institute for the Blind. Then they moved to New York to attend the Wright-Humason School for the Deaf, and to learn from Sarah Fuller at the Horace Mann School for the Deaf. In 1896, they returned to Massachusetts and Keller entered The Cambridge School for Young Ladies. In 1904, at the age of 24, Keller graduated from Radcliffe, becoming the first deaf blind person to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree. She maintained a correspondence with the Austrian philosopher and pedagogue Wilhelm Jerusalem, who was one of the first to discover her literary talent.
Determined to communicate with others as conventionally as possible, Keller learned to speak, and spent much of her life giving speeches and lectures. She learned to "hear" people's speech by reading their lips with her hands—her sense of touch had become extremely subtle. She became proficient at using Braille and reading sign language with her hands as well.
Keller went on to become a world-famous speaker and author. She is remembered as an advocate for people with disabilities, amid numerous other causes. She was a suffragist, a pacifist, an opponent of Woodrow Wilson, a radical socialist and a birth control supporter. In 1915 she and George Kessler founded the Helen Keller International (HKI) organization. This organization is devoted to research in vision, health and nutrition. In 1920 she helped to found the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). Keller traveled to 40-some-odd countries with Sullivan, making several trips to Japan and becoming a favorite of the Japanese people. Keller met every U.S. President from Grover Cleveland to Lyndon B. Johnson and was friends with many famous figures, including Alexander Graham Bell, Charlie Chaplin and Mark Twain.
Keller was a member of the Socialist Party and actively campaigned and wrote in support of the working class from 1909 to 1921. Newspaper columnists who had praised her courage and intelligence before she expressed her socialist views now called attention to her disabilities. The editor of the Brooklyn Eagle wrote that her "mistakes sprung out of the manifest limitations of her development." Keller responded to that editor, referring to having met him before he knew of her political views: At that time the compliments he paid me were so generous that I blush to remember them. But now that I have come out for socialism he reminds me and the public that I am blind and deaf and especially liable to error. I must have shrunk in intelligence during the years since I met him. ... Oh, ridiculous Brooklyn Eagle! Socially blind and deaf, it defends an intolerable system, a system that is the cause of much of the physical blindness and deafness which we are trying to prevent.
Keller wrote a total of 12 published books and several articles. Keller suffered a series of strokes in 1961 and spent the last years of her life at her home. On September 14, 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson awarded her the Presidential Medal of Freedom, one of the United States' two highest civilian honors. In 1965 she was elected to the National Women's Hall of Fame at the New York World's Fair.
Keller devoted much of her later life to raising funds for the American Foundation for the Blind. She died in her sleep on June 1, 1968, at her home. She gave everything to society. According to her -
"The few own the many because they possess the means of livelihood of all ... The country is governed for the richest, for the corporations, the bankers, the land speculators, and for the exploiters of labor. The majority of mankind are working people. So long as their fair demands—the ownership and control of their livelihoods—are set at naught, we can have neither men's rights nor women's rights. The majority of mankind is ground down by industrial oppression in order that the small remnant may live in ease."



Mother Teresa: A woman with a noble soul


“It is not how much we do,
But how much love we put in the doing.
It is not how much we give,
But how much love we put in the giving.”
– Mother Teresa





Mother Teresa does not need any introduction. She is the goddess for someone, she is saint for someone, she is social worker for someone, and she is nun for someone. Whole world recognize her as a kind hearted saint and a divine & noble soul. She devoted her life for HIV/ AIDS, leprosy and tuberculosis. Due to her unremarkable service, Mother Teresa has been awarded by numerous honors including The Nobel Peace Prize, Padma Shree, Jawaharlal Nehru Award for International Understanding, Bharat Ratna. She was also called "Blessed Teresa of Calcutta".
In earlier phase, she was a nun & had started her work for helping & educating people. Though no one knew it at the time, “Sister Teresa had just become Mother Teresa". She began her missionary work with the poor in 1948. She replaced her traditional Loreto habit with a simple white cotton sari decorated with a blue border. Mother Teresa adopted Indian citizenship to serve the people of Kolkata. Mother Teresa said "By blood, I am Albanian. By citizenship, an Indian. By faith, I am a Catholic nun. As to my calling, I belong to the world. As to my heart, I belong entirely to the Heart of Jesus."
Soon she started tending to the needs of the destitute and starving. In the beginning of 1949, she was joined in her effort by a group of young women and laid the foundations to create a new religious community helping the "poorest among the poor". Her efforts quickly caught the attention of Indian officials, including the prime minister, who expressed his appreciation.
Teresa wrote in her diary that she had no income and had to resort to begging for food and supplies. Teresa experienced doubt, loneliness and the temptation to return to the comfort of convent life during these early months. She wrote in her diary:
“Our Lord wants me to be a free nun covered with the poverty of the cross. Today, I learned a good lesson. The poverty of the poor must be so hard for them. While looking for a home I walked and walked till my arms and legs ached. I thought how much they must ache in body and soul, looking for a home, food and health. Then, the comfort of Loreto came to tempt me. 'You have only to say the word and all that will be yours again,' the Tempter kept on saying ... Of free choice, my God, and out of love for you, I desire to remain and does whatever be your Holy will in my regard. I did not let a single tear come.”
Teresa received Vatican permission on 7 October 1950 to start the diocesan congregation that would become the Missionaries of Charity. Its mission was to care for, in her own words, "the hungry, the naked, the homeless, the crippled, the blind, the lepers, and all those people who feel unwanted, unloved, uncared for throughout society, people that have become a burden to the society and are shunned by everyone." It began as a small congregation with 13 members in Calcutta; by 1997 it had grown to more than 4,000 sisters running orphanages, AIDS hospices and charity centers worldwide, and caring for refugees, the blind, disabled, aged, alcoholics, the poor and homeless, and victims of floods, epidemics, and famine.
In 1952, Mother Teresa opened the first Home for the Dying in space made available by the city of Calcutta (Kolkata). With the help of Indian officials she converted an abandoned Hindu temple into the Kalighat Home for the Dying, a free hospice for the poor. She renamed it Kalighat, the Home of the Pure Heart (Nirmal Hriday). Those brought to the home received medical attention and were afforded the opportunity to die with dignity, according to the rituals of their faith; Muslims were read the Quran, Hindus received water from the Ganges, and Catholics received the Last Rites. "A beautiful death," she said, "It is for people who lived like animals to die like angels—loved and wanted."
Mother Teresa soon opened a home for those suffering from Hansen's disease, commonly known as leprosy, and called the hospice Shanti Nagar (City of Peace). The Missionaries of Charity also established several leprosy outreach clinics throughout Calcutta, providing medication, bandages and food. As the Missionaries of Charity took in increasing numbers of lost children, Mother Teresa felt the need to create a home for them. In 1955 she opened the Nirmala Shishu Bhavan, the Children's Home of the Immaculate Heart, as a haven for orphans and homeless youth. By 2007 the Missionaries of Charity numbered approximately 450 brothers and 5,000 sisters’ worldwide, operating 600 missions, schools and shelters in 120 countries.


Mother Teresa suffered a heart attack in Rome in 1983 while visiting Pope John Paul II. After a second attack in 1989, she received an artificial pacemaker. In April 1996, Mother Teresa fell and broke her collar bone. In August she suffered from malaria and failure of the left heart ventricle. She had heart surgery but it was clear that her health was declining. On 13 March 1997, she stepped down from the head of Missionaries of Charity. She died on 5 September 1997.

Oprah Winfrey – World’s most influential woman and the best TV host

Have you heard about “The Oprah Winfrey Show"? It was the best TV talk show. Not only best but highest-rated program in history from 1986 to 2011. Oprah Winfrey, the host of this TV show has been ranked the richest African-American of the 20th century, the greatest black philanthropist in American history, and is currently (2012) North America's only black billionaire.  She is also known as the most influential woman in the world.
Oprah Winfrey didn’t get everything easily. She experienced the worst life during her childhood. . After Winfrey's birth, her mother traveled north and Winfrey spent her first six years living in rural poverty with her maternal grandmother, Hattie Mae who was so poor that Winfrey often wore dresses made of potato sacks, for which the local children made fun of her. She was raped at age nine. She was sent to live with the man she calls her father, a barber. Her grandmother taught her to read before the age of three and took her to the local church, where she was nicknamed "The Preacher" for her ability to recite Bible verses. When Winfrey was a child, her grandmother would hit her with a stick when she did not do chores or if she misbehaved in any way.
Winfrey has stated she was molested by her cousin, uncle, and a family friend, starting when she was nine years old, something she first announced to her viewers on a 1986 episode of her TV show regarding sexual abuse. When Winfrey discussed the alleged abuse with family members at age 24, they refused to accept what she said. Winfrey once commented that she had chosen not to be a mother because she had not been mothered well. At 13, after suffering years of abuse, Winfrey ran away from home. When she was 14, she became pregnant but her son was born prematurely and he died shortly after birth. Winfrey later stated she felt betrayed by the family member who had sold the story of her son to the National Enquirer in 1990.
TV columnist Howard Rosenberg said, "She's a roundhouse, a full course meal, big, brassy, loud, aggressive, hyper, laughable, lovable, soulful, tender, low-down, earthy and hungry. And she may know the way to Phil Donahue's jugular. In 1993, Winfrey hosted a rare prime-time interview with Michael Jackson, which became the fourth most watched event in American television history as well as the most watched interview ever, with an audience of 36.5 million. On December 1, 2005, Winfrey appeared on the Late Show with David Letterman to promote the new Broadway musical The Color Purple, of which she was a producer, joining the host for the first time in 16 years. The episode was hailed by some as the "television event of the decade" and helped Letterman attract his largest audience in more than 11 years: 13.45 million viewers.

Aung San Suu Kyi : The Women Who Spent Her 15 Years Life Under House Arrest For Democracy In Her Country

Aung San Suu Kyi is the great inspiration in politics who fought against her country's militant for Democracy. She became the world's most famous political prisoner. She was put under house arrest for her political work for democratization. Military had offered her freedom if she would agreed to left the country but she refused. She knew that if she left the country then Berman military will never give her permission to enter in her country. Thus she never left Berma during her pro-democracy movement & spent 15 years under house arrest. Her famous speech was "Freedom to fear" in which she said, "It is not power that corrupts, but fear. Fear of losing power corrupts those who wield it and fear of the scourge of power corrupts those who are subject to it."

During this imprisonment,  she was prevented from meeting her party supporters, media and international visitors. The military had denied the visa of her husband & children. Her husband died in 1999 during her imprisonment. She could not met him in his last days but she didn't left her country. She was also separated from her children, who live in the United Kingdom. She was recently released on 13 November 2010. Suu Kyi was released from house arrest on November 2010. She appeared in front of a crowd of her supporters, who rushed to her house in Rangoon when nearby barricades were removed by the security forces.Discussions were held between Suu Kyi and the Burmese government during 2011, which led to a number of official gestures to meet her demands. In October, around a tenth of Burma's political prisoners were freed in an amnesty and trade unions were legalised.

When she was asked for the opportunity of ministerial post during 2012 election, she said,
"I can tell you one thing – that under the present constitution, if you become a member of the government you have to vacate your seat in the national assembly. And I am not working so hard to get into parliament simply to vacate my seat." She says about her country's democracy patterns,: "We wish to learn from everybody who has achieved a transition to democracy, and also our great strong point is that, because we are so far behind everybody else, we can also learn which mistakes we should avoid."

Aung San Suu Kyi was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1991. The Nobel Committee mentions:

  • The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided to award the Nobel Peace Prize for 1991 to Aung San Suu Kyi of Myanmar (Burma) for her non-violent struggle for democracy and human rights.
  • ...Suu Kyi's struggle is one of the most extraordinary examples of civil courage in Asia in recent decades. She has become an important symbol in the struggle against oppression...
  • ...In awarding the Nobel Peace Prize for 1991 to Aung San Suu Kyi, the Norwegian Nobel Committee wishes to honour this woman for her unflagging efforts and to show its support for the many people throughout the world who are striving to attain democracy, human rights and ethnic conciliation by peaceful means.
  • —Oslo, 14 October 1991

The Iron Lady.....Margaret Hilda Thatcher

Margaret Hilda Thatcher was the great inspiration for those women who never thought their career in Politics. She even not only entered in politics but proved herself too. She was the first lady prime minister of Britain. She also known as Iron lady due to her uncompromising politics & leadership style. she became the prime minister for 11 (from 1979 to 1990) years. Margaret Thatcher is the first living ex-prime minister in British history to be honored with a statue in the Houses of Parliament. It stands opposite a statue of Winston Churchill in the lobby of the House of Commons. 
Margaret Thatcher quotes -

If you want something said, ask a man; if you want something done, ask a woman.


Any woman who understands the problems of running a home will be nearer to understanding the problems of running a country.


I love argument, I love debate. I don't expect anyone just to sit there and agree with me, that's not their job.


I'm extraordinarily patient provided I get my own way in the end. You and I come by road or rail, but economists travel on infrastructure.


If you set out to be liked, you would be prepared to compromise on anything at any time, and you would achieve nothing.

Let Me Go...

This darkness makes me feel unsafe
let me go

The relationships make me uncomfortable
let me go

I am a girl but a human being also
I have to see the world as you visit everywhere
let me go........

I will die in this loneliness
Don't create a reason for emptiness;

I can stand in this world with pride
If you set me free from your horrible hands;

Don't wrap me in a darken layer
let me go........

Tie a knot is not my destination
Being shy &fragile is not my identifications;

Let me grab the opportunities of happiness
Let me take my own decisions;

I am not an object for fruition
let me go...

There is no safe street for women....Horrible facts

Can you believe that rape is the fourth most common crime against women in India. According to the National Crime Records Bureau 2013 annual report, 24,923 rape cases were reported across India in 2012. The most horrible fact is out of these, 24,470 were committed by relative or neighbor; in other words, the victim knew the alleged rapist in 98 per cent of the cases.

About 100,000 women were claimed to have been kidnapped and raped During the partition of India.

There has also been estimated that up to 100,000 children go missing each year in which majority are being sexually abused.

In Jammu and Kashmir, there have been allegations of rape and mass rape also . Report says that these rape cases have been carried out by both Indian armed forces and Islamist militant groups. The alleged four Rajputana Rifles unit [had entered the village of Kunan Poshpora and raped between 30 and 100 women aged between 13 and 70 (as per the allegations)] were highlighted in 1991. Indian government responded and carried out three inquiries against the allegations but it concluded it as a hoax.

At a glance it seems unbelievable but Human rights groups allege that the Indian armed forces (under the protection of the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act, 1958) are involved out a large number of rapes in the NagalandAssam and Manipur provinces.

During the communal riots (in recent years also) various rape cases have taken places . During the post 2002 Godhra train burning, in the certain parts of Gujarat, rape was carried out by rioters.Thirteen rape and assault cases were reported during the 2013 Muzaffarnagar riots

FEEL THE PUNCH OF MARY KOM

Can you imagine any women with punch. I am talking about Magnificent Mary (Mary com). She is a five-times World Amateur Boxing champion, and the only woman boxer to have won a medal in each one of the six world championships. She is the only Indian woman boxer to have qualified for the 2012 Summer Olympics, competing in the flyweight (51 kg) category and winning the bronze medal. She must would be the role model of those women who think women physically weak. A girl always thinks about her beauty & this male dominated society either creates a horrible accident because of her beauty or dominates her due to less physical strength. What would happened if every girl thinks to protect herself & ready to punch. This will change the world. I am inspired from various quote's of Mary Kom. 

she says, "Don’t give up as there is always a next time. Think that if Mary Kom, a mother of two, can do it, why can’t you?".“I still remember I was castigated by my father who said with a battered and bruised face, I should not expect to get married. He was furious that I took to boxing – a taboo for women – and he did not have the slightest idea about it. But my passion for the sport had got the better of me and I thank my cousins who coaxed and cajoled my father into eventually giving his nod. I’m happy that I did not let anybody down.”“To be a successful boxer one must also have a strong heart. Some women are physically strong but fail when it comes to having a strong heart. One also must have the zeal and the right fighting spirit. We work harder than men and are determined to fight with all our strength to make our nation proud. God has given me the talent and it’s only because of sheer grit and hard work that I have made it so far.”"I am in the police force, but boxing keeps me busy. I have won an Olympic medal but my dream is not yet finished. It shall be fulfilled the day I do something in my department to fight crime.”

कुछ नहीं तो थोड़े एहसास दे दो ..















बीतते लम्हों को गुनगुना सकूँ
वक़्त बेवक़्त जश्न मना सकूँ
कुछ यूँ जीने की राह दे दो
कुछ नहीं तो थोड़े एहसास दे दो ...

थक गयी हूँ गम उधार ले लेकर
खुशियों कि थाली तुझे बेवजह दे देकर
चोर सी नजरो से खुशनुमा लम्हों को ताककर
उम्मीदभरी लोगों की जिंदगी में झांककर
कुछ नहीं तो थोड़े जज्बात दे दो
एक अदद मुस्कुराते हालात दे दो ...

मन के गुबार को निकलने की कोशिश बहुत की
टूटे सिलसिलों को गुमराह करने की साजिश बहुत की
तू दूर खड़ा मुझपे मुस्कुराता होगा, ये सोचकर
अपने बेगुनाह हालातों से बेवजह रंजिश बहुत की
कुछ नहीं तो थोड़े बेधड़क अंदाज दे दो
जी सकूँ थोडा मुस्कुरा के वो बात दे दो ....

निहारूं तो अपना ही दिल जलेगा…

उम्रभर की ख़ुशी मांगी थी हमने
आपने दर्द का आइना थमा दिया
तोड़ दू तो काँटों की चुभन होगी
और निहारूं तो अपना ही दिल जलेगा…




रिश्ते न होते जीवन की राहों में
तो खुद को रुसवा भी कर जाता
वादों का बंधन न बांधता अगर
तो शायद जीना भी न आजमाता
उम्मीद थी मुस्कराहट कमाने की
और ताउम्र कोशिश भी की
पर आपने तो संगदिली से
नाकामयाबी का दामन थमा दिया...
उम्रभर की ख़ुशी मांगी थी हमने
आपने दर्द का आइना थमा दिया...

गम भी न कर सका इस बात का
दिल मुस्कुराने को मजबूर था
हम खुद को घसीटते रहे और
वक़्त को अपने सितम पे ग़ुरूर था
एक झटके की ख्वाइश थी
और शायद सबकुछ बदल जाता
पर आपने तो बोझल पलकों तले
आंसू छिपाने का फैसला सुना दिया
उम्रभर की ख़ुशी मांगी थी हमने
आपने दर्द का आइना थमा दिया...
तोड़ दू तो काँटों कि चुभन होगी
और निहारूं तो आपना ही दिल जलेगा…

एक शिकन के उभार तो देखो....













"एक शिकन के उभार तो देखो
हर सितम समेट लेती है
न रोती है, न मुस्कुराती है
बस एक लकीर सी खींच देती है
हम भी हर गम पलकों पे उठाकर
इसी के दामन में छुप जाते हैं
पलकों में आंसू भींच लेते हैं और....
बस एक शिकन में सिमट जाते हैं."

अगर सितम करने का हक़ मुझे होता....

अगर सितम करने का हक़ मुझे होता
तो लोगो कि चुभन न देखती मैं
बस उनकी अच्छाइयाँ देखती और,
उसे ही रोने की वजह बना देती.....

तुम पूछोगे कि क्या मिलता मुझे
वो सुकून, या एक चुभन का दर्द
तो मैं बस इतना बताना चाहती हूँ
ये इंसानियत है, जो ख्वाब देना चाहती है
एक इंसान है जो दर्द देना जानता है
और मैं एक पत्थर हूँ बिना एहसासो की
जो न तो खुशी देती है, न गम लेती है
बस एक वार करती है और, चीजें बिखर जाती है....
सच में, अगर सितम करने का हक़ मुझे होता.....

इश्क़ है

इश्क़ है, इश्क़ पे फनाह होने की  वजह नही
दिल है, दिल में सुकून के लिए जगह नही
दुआ है, पर मांगने की कोई खास सबब नही
जिंदगी है, पर जीने की कोई जिरह नही

उम्र है, हरपल कुछ खोने का एहसास कराती हुई
वक़्त है, गुजरते पलों  में अपना वजूद जताती हुई
नाउम्मीदी है, मेरे झरोखों पे अपनी टेक लगाती हुई
आंसू है, मेरे चेहरे पे भावों के बाण चलाती हुई

दोस्त हैं, खुशियों में साथ निभाते हुए
सपने हैं, मेरे दामन से अपना पीछा छुड़ाते हुए
नींद है, कहीं दूर चुप्पी लगाये हुए
ख़ामोशी है, मेरे दर्द को सीने से लिपटाये हुए


अस्तित्व है, पर उससे बहुत दुरी है
मैं वजह हूँ जिसकी जिद अभी अधूरी है
कोई उम्मीद है शायद अब तक कहीं दूर
जो वजूद है, मेरे जीने के लिए जरुरी है।

ek bat jo kahin dabi hai mere dil me, 
chal aj usse mai tujhe ru-baru karu,
jab v aati hai tere chehre pe gam ki lakire,
mere chehre ki muskurahat v kahi gum ho jati hai......

Koi To Puchhe Ki Dil Kyu Roya


koi to puchhe ki dil kyun roya...
kya koi gum udhar hai
ya chot khaye hue ho...
koi tarotaza hadsa gujra hai
ya khud pe hi chot lagaye hue ho...
koi to puchhe.......
 

waqt ka rona hai.... 

ya kismat ka jor hai
naummidi tujhse hai
ya tu naummidi ki or hai...
aisa kya ho gaya ki chuppi lagaye hue ho...koi to puchhe...
teri khamosi kisi ne suni nahi
kya ish bat ka gum hai...
ya dard to bahoot hai dil me
par aknon me ansu kam hai..
kya ho gaya jo chot pe bhi muskuraye hue ho..
koi to puchhe ki dil kyu roya.....koi to puchhe.

If You Have Dare To Dream Then "KEEP DREAMING"

"Never touches your beauty if
 I look into your beautiful eyes.
When I peep in your dreaming eyes,
it explains your beauty of thinking
and makes you valiant  for 'do or die'."

The most beautiful thing of our life is to DREAM. Whenever a thing makes me feel impossible to do. my dream pushes me. It scolds me and says how can I use the words like "I can't do this". It motivates me to dare to do the things looks like impossible. Dream is that lovely world where everything is possible. There is no tension, no society, no drama, no fear, no hopeless things in a dream world. There be just we and our dreams which give us hope, positiveness & freedom. When it implemented in an actual life, we got our dream world to be true. Hereby the most important thing is 'to dream'...'A Dare to Dream'

Najron ki juba

Najron Ki Juba

"Najre khuda ki,
najre kayamat ki,
najre ehsason ki,
najre ibadat ki,
kya kahe kaun si najar kab hampe nazara-e-inayat kare,
hamari to bas itni tamanna hai ki jab v koi najar hampe uthe,
har najar me hamari chahto ki immaarat bane"

My Dream World


"kas ye najre khuda ki hoti to
mai waqt na gawati khamos rahkar
or mang leti wo sare sapne jo meri najro me utarti hai
or mujhe jine ka dilasa deti rahti hai"

A page of my diary......

"Khamos mere ansu mujhko hi daga dete hai,
rona chahu to thahar jate hai
or kabhi ruth jau isse to
bhari mahfil me rula dete hai
kabhi do pal me juda hote hai
kabhi do pal me bah jate hai
mujhse hi hardam ladte hai
fir ladkkar mujhme hi sama jate hai
hardam berukhi se mujhko hi darate hai
na bhi rona chahu to kambakhta ye nikal hi aate hai
meri bebasi ki mujhko ye khub saja dete hai
khamos mere ansu mujhko hi daga dete hai"

Which One Is More Critical - Struggle Or Suffer?

"struggle makes you hero in people's eye
but suffer gives pain and explain you simplify"

when someone struggle in his life he thinks that no one becomes so harder as he is and he has the right to achieve everything. He feels proud on his life and thinks himself as a hero in comparison to others. But girl always suffer because she is a girl which is more achievable than a struggler's life. She pays her labor, her lifestyle & her dreams too. She struggles for economic problems, for physical strengths, for freedom just because she lives in a male dominate society. Society abuse her, misuse her and use her. So what is more critical struggle for getting success and facilities as a human or suffer for surviving as a girl in this society?

"To Be A Girl Is A Punishment"



"Kuchh kahte hai usko patthar,
kuchh uski kismat pe rote,

Jab wo khud pe roti hogi,
Kuch taklif to hoti hogi"

If you have dare to dream then "KEEP DREAMING"


Have you ever imagined the world without women? We never think on "why do girls become a burden even she gives birth of a new life". Everyone wants only son for a bright future whether it is or it is not. The society has created a new  punishment for those parents who have a girl child and created capital punishment for girl without doing any mistake.  Being a girl is her big mistake.  Never think that without a girl the world, the human, the life can't move.  Girls are the second name of life and now people are destroying life in the face of a girl.

You Stop Me Why ?















Let me go to fly the high,

Let me think how do I want to colour my sky.
Let me enjoy the praises and shy,
Because it is not you, it is ‘I’.
Let me draw the world, as I have seen by my eye.
I want to cross the limit once, you stop me, Why?
