Shaam Hoten Hi Chiragon Ko Bujha Deta Hoon
Yeh Dil Hi Kaafi Hai Teri Yaad Main Jalne Ke Liye

Yeh Teri Bhi Aankhon Ka Qusur Hai
Main Tanha Gunahgar To Nahi

Tu Is Tarah Se Mere Dil Main Shamil Hai
Jahan Bhi Jaoon Lagta Hai Teri Mahfil Hai

Duniya bhar ki khushiyan hamare saath chali
Qadam mila ke jo hamare saath aap chali

Haath deewane ke de allah kuch aisi qalam,
Aasman par likh ke jaoon hai unhi se pyaar hai

Dil mein tumharey pyaar key jaltey to hain chirag
Mana key in ki roshni tum par ayaan nahi

Na tum bewafa ho, na hum bewafa thay
Magar kya karain apni rahain juda hain

Saamne baithe raho dil ko qaraar aa'aegaa
Jitnaa dekhenge tumheiN utnaa hi pyaar aa'aegaa

Mohabbat kar ke dekhi to, mohabbat ko pehchana hai
Wafa bus naam ki hai, be-wafaai ka fasana hai

Hai kuch baat mo-min jo chaa gaye khamoshi
Kis bout ko de diya dil, kyon bout se ban gaye ho

Dil ki bechaen umangon pe karam farmaao
Itna ruk ruk ke chalogi to qayamat hogi

Raat Ko Jalte Diye bhi Din mai Bujh jaya Karte Hai
Aur ek hum hain jo ki Tere Pyar Me Din Raat Jala Karte Hai

दिल से इन्तेकाम

Sat, 12 Apr 2008 16:11:19 +0200

जब कभी तेरा नाम लेते हैं
दिल से हम इन्तेकाम लेते है

मेरी बर्बादियों के अफ़साने
मेरे यारों का नाम लेते हैं

बस यही एक जुर्म है अपना
हम मुहब्बत से काम लेते हैं

हर कदम पर गिरें मगर सीखा
कैसे गिरतों को थाम लेते हैं

हम भटक कर जुनूं कि राहों मे
अक्ल से इन्तेकाम लेते है

जब कभी तेरा नाम लेते हैं
दिल से हम इन्तेकाम लेते है

दर्द अपनाये कौन

Sat, 12 Apr 2008 16:08:33 +0200

दर्द अपनाता है पराये कौन
कौन सुनता है और सुनाये कौन

कौन दोहराए पुरानी बातें
गम अभी सोया है जगाये कौन

वो जो अपने हैं, क्या वो अपने हैं
कौन दुःख झेले, आजमाये कौन

अब सुकून है तो भूलने में है
लेकिन उस शख्स को भुलाये कौन
दर्द अपनाता है पराए कौन

आज फिर दिल है कुछ उदास-उदास
देखिए आज याद आये कौन
दर्द अपनाता है पराए कौन
कौन सुनता है और सुनाये कौन

Teen Years of my life

Tue, 18 Sep 2007 19:30:18 +0200

Everyone tells you,they're the best years of your life.The thing they don't tell you,is they are all full of strife.From a child to a teen,in less then a year. It's a lot to deal with,you have to grow up fast.As a child you're free,as teen you feel locked up.A child has no worries,A teen has a lot.You learn the meaning of love you discover broken hearts.The worries of being accepted,are the hardest part of all.What's the "best" about these years.When as a teen,you live in fear.
Some nights I stay up late and cry,Other times I feel as if I could die! In my life I feel not loved,I always get kicked around or shoved.But why should I be happy?How can I be if I'm treated so crappy?Every day seems like a battle.I get thrown around like a baby's rattle.Sometimes everything can be so scary.Why can't I just be happy and merry?For all my faults, I am to blame.I am the one to take all the shame.
The world doesn't understand, What's going wrong in me ,Neither do they want to know For fear they'll have to seeSo many things useless in life But all acceptable Except a teen with lofty dreamsBut balance by the bowl So many times I've wondered whyTeens today are used While as a child they sat alone angry and confused Crouching down upon the floor To avoid viscous blowsOf words of hate and flying fists And what else? Who knowsCreatures from deep inside their minds That hollow dark abyssScream to them their life is lost They lost it in a kiss Unfeeling teens when will they learn What's prominent and good And damn it, when will they Do as WE think they really should?
My guardian angel, once careless and free, flew into the clouds and lost touch with me. Her tears were cold and wet, falling on my face.Her smile had left us without a trace. Her angelic lips quivered, frozen and scared, I felt rain clouds visiting, and had to prepare. I knew that angels, often content, were very special presents that God had sent.To see one so sad, so afraid, so alone, had made me weep while the cold winds had blown. Her wings lost feathers, comforting and soft, falling from the stars, floating aloft. Her pain was felt throughout the land, to feel true misery

सांवली सी एक लड़की

Tue, 18 Sep 2007 10:15:32 +0200

वो शोख शोख नज़र सांवली सी एक लड़की
जो रोज़ मेरी गली से गुज़र के जाती है
सुना है
वो किसी लड़के से प्यार करती है
बहार हो के, तलाश-ए-बहार करती है
न कोई मेल न कोई लगाव है लेकिन न जाने क्यूँ
बस उसी वक़्त जब वो आती है
कुछ इंतिज़ार की आदत सी हो गई है
एक अजनबी की ज़रूरत हो गई है
मेरे बाल्कोनी के आगे का छप्पर
गली के मोड पे खडा हुआ सा
एक पत्थर
वो एक झुकती हुई बदनुमा सी नीम की शाख
और उस पे जंगली कबूतर के घोंसले का निशाँ
यह सारी चीजें कि जैसे मुझी में शामिल हैं
मेरे दुखों में मेरी हर खुशी में शामिल हैं
मैं चाहता हूँ कि वो भी यूं ही गुज़रती रहे
और यूं हि अदा-ओ-नाज़ से मुझे देखती रहे

सहारों ने साथ छोड दिया

Tue, 18 Sep 2007 10:13:37 +0200

क़दम क़दम पे सहारों ने साथ छोड दिया
पड़ा जो वक़्त तो यारों ने साथ छोड़ दिया

बुझी जो शमा तो परवाने हो गए रुखसत
हुई सहर तो सितारों से साथ छोड़ दिया

वो बे-नकाब हुए फिर नज़र उठा न सके
उठी नज़र तो नज़ारों ने साथ छोड़ दिया

फलक के चांद सितारों से क्या गिला करना
ज़मीन के चांद सितारों ने साथ छोड़ दिया

अब इश्क़ है न तबस्सुम न ज़िंदगी है न मौत
ज़फर आज तो यारों ने साथ छोड़ दिया

तेरे इश्क़ की इन्तेहा चाहता हूँ मेरी
सादगी देख, क्या चाहता हूँ
सितम हो कि हो वादा-ए-बे-हिजाबी
कोई बात सब्र-आजमा चाहता हूँ
यह जन्नत मुबारक रहे जाहिदों को
कि मैं आपका सामना चाहता हूँ
सारा सा तो दिल हूँ मगर शोख
इतनावही लनतरानी सुना चाहता हूँ
कोई दम का मेहमान हूँ,

How the Bermuda triangal works

Thu, 25 Jan 2007 14:12:03 +0100

Farfetched Theories

Aliens and Atlantis

As an area with one of the highest incidences of UFO sightings, it's no wonder that alien abductions have been a popular explanation for disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle. But abductions aren't the only theory; some also have theorized that the Bermuda Triangle area is a portal to other planets. But why this area?
Many believe that the Bermuda Triangle area is home to the lost city of Atlantis and remnants of its advanced technologies. Famous psychic Edgar Cayce said that Atlantis had many modern-day technologies, including a death ray weapon, which he claims ultimately destroyed the city. Some even say that the people who lived there were an alien race from the Pleiades star cluster.
Cayce had predicted that researchers would discover the western edge of Atlantis near the coast of Bimini, in the Bahamas, and they did find a "road" of stones there in 1968. The initial researchers and archeologists who studied the site, known as the "Bimini Road," immediately regarded it as naturally occurring. Recent investigations, however, have found evidence that appears to support the idea that the stones were shaped and placed there as a wall. The additional finding of a possible underwater city near Cuba adds fuel to the fire for those supporting the Atlantis idea.

According to legend and speculation, the city of Atlantis relied on the power of special energy crystals that were extremely powerful. Cayce supported this idea, and the discovery of a great underwater pyramid and crystal by Dr. Ray Brown in 1970 reinforced it. Brown was scuba diving in the Bahamas when he claims to have found a large pyramid made of mirror-like stone. He entered the pyramid and saw a brassy metallic rod with a multi-faceted red gem hanging from the apex of the room. Directly below this rod was a stand with bronze hands holding a crystal sphere four inches in diameter. Brown removed the crystal and kept it secret until 1975, when he exhibited it at a psychic seminar in Phoenix, Arizona. He reported that when gazing into the crystal form, you can see three pyramidal images, one in front of the other with each decreasing in size. Some people have seen a fourth pyramid in front of the other three after entering into deep meditative states.
Brown believes that the fractured lines seen when looking at the crystal sphere from the side may be electrical in nature, similar to a form of microscopic circuitry. The speculation is that these energy crystals are in an altered state of some kind and send out rays of energy that either confuse navigational instruments or disintegrate vehicles all together.

Magnetic Abnormalities and the Fog

"The Fog: A Never Before Published Theory of the Bermuda Triangle Phenomenon," by Rob MacGregor and Bruce Gernon include reports of an "electronic fog" that both men experienced while flying in the Bermuda Triangle. On December 4, 1970, Gernon and his father were flying to Bimini in clear skies when they saw a strange cloud with almost perfectly round edges hovering over the Miami shore. As they flew over it, the cloud began spreading out, matching or exceeding their speed. At 11,500 feet, they thought that they had escaped the "cloud," only to discover that it had formed a tunnel. It appeared the only way they could escape the cloud was to go through the tunnel. Once inside, they saw lines on the walls that spun in a counterclockwise direction. Gernon's navigational instruments went haywire and the compass spun counterclockwise.

Gernon reported that he "realized that something very bizarre had happened. Instead of the clear blue sky that we expected at the end of the tunnel, everything appeared a dull, grayish white. Visibility appeared to be about two miles, but there was absolutely nothing to see – no ocean, no horizon, no sky, only a gray haze."

When Gernon contacted Miami Air Traffic Control to get radar identification, the controller said that there were no planes on radar between Miami, Bimini and Andros. After several minutes, Gernon heard the air traffic controller report that a plane had been spotted directly over Miami. Gernon didn't think he could possibly be over Miami Beach, because it usually took 75 minutes to get to Miami and only 47 minutes had passed. At this same time, the cloud tunnel began to peel away in what he described as ribbons of fog. The instruments began operating normally and Miami Beach was directly below them. This loss of time, confirmed by their watches and the plane's clock, made Gernon believe that the electronic fog had time travel qualities.

Gernon experienced the fog one more time in flight with his wife. Many other pilots have had similar experiences in the area. Gernon believes that powerful electromagnetic storms from within the Earth break through the surface and come into the atmosphere where they soon disappear, leaving electronic fog. According to Gernon, a Swedish scientist has found that magnetism is weaker in the triangle than anywhere else on Earth, which may be why the fog happens more there than anywhere else.

For more on this theory, listen to this Paranormal Podcast interview with Bruce Gernon. When Don Pelz of Indiana heard of Gernon's experience, he contacted him about his own. He had also seen the doughnut shaped clouds 10 years ago and was able to retrieve radar images of what Gernon calls a "time storm." You can view them at Pelz's Web site.

Compass Malfunctions

In almost every account of the mystery surrounding the Bermuda Triangle, you'll see reference to the fact that it is one of only two places on Earth (the other being the Devil's Sea off the coast of Japan) where a compass points to true north rather than magnetic north. Theorists say that this causes compasses to malfunction and ships and planes to get off-course.
A compass works because its magnetic needle is attracted by the magnetism of the Earth, which draws it to point to the constantly shifting Magnetic North Pole. The Geographic North Pole, on the other hand, is static and is located about 1200 miles north of the Magnetic Pole. The variation between the two readings is known as magnetic declination (or compass variation), which can change by as much as 20 degrees as you move across the globe.

The agonic line is an imaginary line where true north and magnetic north are in perfect alignment – there is no magnetic declination. At points west of the agonic line, a magnetic needle will point east of true north (positive declination). At points east of the agonic line, a magnetic needle will point west of true north (negative declination). Extended lines that mark the constant magnetic declination away from the agonic line are called isogonic lines.
In the early 18th century, Edmund Halley noticed that the agonic line was slowly moving westward. Since then, scientists have noted a westward drift of the agonic line with an average velocity of about 0.2 degrees per year. The drift is not equal in all places, however. It is stronger in the Atlantic Hemisphere than in the Pacific Hemisphere. Navigators must always compensate for magnetic declination when charting their courses.
While the agonic line once passed through the Bermuda Triangle, it now falls within the Gulf of Mexico, rendering claims that it can contribute to disappearances in the Triangle inaccurate. Calculation errors anywhere could cause a plane or ship to go off-course. This theory also assumes that experienced pilots and captains passing through the area were unaware of magnetic declination, which is unlikely.

Blue Holes

Blue holes are water-filled caves and cavities with blue coloration. These caves may be simply a hole in the ground in the interior of islands (inland blue holes) or holes in shallow waters on the banks (marine or ocean blue holes). British scuba diver Rob Palmer directed a blue holes research center in the Bahamas for a number of years. In July 1997, he failed to surface after a dive in the Red Sea and was presumed dead. Some think that the blue holes may be related to (or even formed by) micro-wormholes believed to exist in the area and might even be transit points for UFOs arriving here from other dimensions.

what is my life challenge????? to be my self.

Mon, 22 Jan 2007 14:19:09 +0100

Nothing would seem easier than to be yourself, but people complain endlessly about how hard it is. when u are litlle ur parent's won't let you be yourself. They have different ideas about eating the whole chocolate cake or drawing on the walls with the crayons. Later on teachers keep you from being yourself. Then teen age peer pressure takes over, and finally, once society has imposed its demands, freedom is more restricted still. Alone on a desert island u might be able to be urself, only guilt and shame would pursue you even there. The inheritance of repression is inescapable.

The whole problem is one of boundaries and resistance. Some one imposes a limit on u, and u resist it in order to break free. Thus "being myself" becomes a relative thing. Unless someone tells me what i can't do, i have nothing to push against.To have a hundred wives and a feast on the table is'nt being yourself, it is being your desires.

Experience can be shaped to bring great inspiration. But in the end this is'nt enough. Every divine image remains an image; every vision tempts us to hold on to it. To be really free, there is no option except to be urself. You are the living centre around which every event happens, yet no event is so important that you willingly give yourself upto it. By being yourself you open the door to what is, the never- ending play of cosmic intelligence curving back to know itself again and again. In this way life remains fresh and fulfills its need to renew itself at every moment.

Gomia

Sun, 21 Jan 2007 11:25:13 +0100

About 5 decades back in the early days the world of Gomia was not known to anyone expect those villagers who lived there. They had no means of lively hood and untouched with modern civilization. After independence the government of India decided to have a commercial explosives factory in this country. ICI UK was invited to establish its Explosives factory in India. While surveying for the location from a helicopter Mr. Todd Hunter a Scottish was amazed to view a hill in the lap of southern Chotanagpur Plato now in Jharkhand. It was finalized to setup its explosives factory on one side of this hill later named Todd Hunter Hill. The other side a residential township was developed. In this way the unknown and jungle land took the shape of a township, this is Gomia. It is connected by eastern railway on the loop line from Gomo (the place from where Netaji Shubhas Chandra Bose finally escaped by Punjab mail to Kabul) to Barkakana junction. With the first explosives factory the Gomia Township also was born and flourished. This gradually took the shape of a cosmopolitan town. People from all over India found there fortune and started living in Gomia. In the earlier times Scottish experts stayed here and worked hand in hand to train the villagers on the explosives manufacturing technology. Later people from many places around the world kept on visiting Gomia, once an unknown forest land.

Gomia has now recreation center, cooperative stores, Ramakrishna mission, a CBSE affiliated Pitts modern school having 2000 students now. It has a beautiful sports ground and a pavilion.

Gomia surfaced in the heart of the people in many ways. The durga puja festival which takes place today is the largest in fifty miles radius of Gomia. The company has a club known as IEL club which has a tennis court, swimming pool, a bar, billiard room, and a hall.

Many artistes of India fame like Hemant Mukhergee, V Balsara, Mantosh Ray, Sisircona Dhar Choudhary, Usha Uttap and many more visited Gomia to entertain the people here.

Gomia has its own air stripes too.

The ex students of PMS are presently spread over US, Singapore, Beijing, Rome, UK, and where not. Those who are in India most of them have been well established. Perhaps more amazing is the facts that these boys and girls are in many ways superior to the students high-ranking schools like Dun.

This was possible because a galaxy of enlightened educated and outstanding personas were living in this small town. The India Explosives limited at Gomia was inaugurated by Dr. Rajendra Prasad the first president of India. On 5th November 1958

The once neglected land was honored to welcome the first citizen of India here and thus surfaced in the map of India those who were born and bought in Gomia are extremely attached even today where ever they are living. Now Gomia has its own website www.gomia.biz woke up to refresh there sweet memories of the pleasant past by responding registering themselves in this website in numbers. Every one feels proud that they were a part of Gomia once. This shows there love and affection for Gomia.

It has an extreme climate. It is connected by road to hazaribag, dhanbad, ranchi, bokaro steel city etc. Its scenic beauty is excellent and superb. A hilly river flows at the very out scarts of this township. The greenery of Gomia praise worthily. One can come and stay at gust house once known as srinikatan started by once late S K Dutta popularly known as Dutta and X employee of the IEL Factory. This gust house has facilities of Modern rooms with TV TEL well cooked home food etc.

Gomia has a direct train connection with Howrah (Kolkata)

Every gomian is proud this small town where there life has taken shape with one of the best environment Gomia is the place to visit for a short while. Its give emends pleasure for few days away from the busy schedule of metropolitan life. Which anyone would choose. Indeed Gomia is a true destination to change from a routine bust urban life for few days.

One can view the beautiful site the pareshnath hill from here the tallest one in Jharkhand.

Once Eastern India rifle shooting championship game was organized here.

चीन के मिसाइल परीक्षण से बढ़ी चिंता

Sat, 20 Jan 2007 16:05:04 +0100

चीन ने कथित रूप से अंतरिक्ष में पिछले हफ़्ते एक मिसाइल परीक्षण किया है जिसपर अंतरराष्ट्रीय समुदाय के कई देशों ने उसकी आलोचना की है.
चीन के इस परीक्षण पर चिंता जताने वाले देशों में जापान के साथ-साथ अमरीका और ऑस्ट्रेलिया भी शामिल हैं.

माना जा रहा है कि चीन ने मौसम की जानकारी देने वाले एक उपग्रह को नष्ट करने के लिए पिछले हफ़्ते जमीन से मध्यम दूरी की बैलेस्टिक मिसाइल दागी.

बीबीसी संवाददाता का कहना है कि पिछले 20 से भी अधिक वर्षों में मिसाइल से उपग्रह को नष्ट करने का यह पहला परीक्षण है.

हालाँकि यह तकनीक नई नहीं है, लेकिन इस परीक्षण ने चीन की बढ़ती सैन्य शक्ति को आलोचकों के निशाने पर ला दिया है.

हथियारों की होड़

अमरीका के राष्ट्रीय सुरक्षा परिषद के प्रवक्ता गॉर्डन जॉनड्रोई ने पत्रिका 'अमेरिकन एविएशन वीक एंड स्पेस टेक्नोलॉजी' में इस परीक्षण की पुष्टि की है.

इस पत्रिका में छपी रिपोर्ट में कहा गया है कि 1999 में छोड़े गए चीन के फेंग युन 1 सी ध्रुवीय मौसम उपग्रह को 11 जनवरी को चीन के झिचांग अंतरिक्ष केन्द्र या इसके नजदीक से प्रक्षेपित की गई मिसाइल से नष्ट कर दिया गया.
शिओज़ाकी ने कहा, "सबसे पहली हमारी चिंता अंतरिक्ष के शांतिपूर्ण उपयोग को लेकर है और दूसरे सुरक्षा के पहलू को लेकर."

चीन को अभी इस परीक्षण की पुष्टि करनी है. माना जा रहा है कि ये परीक्षण ज़मीन से 865 किलोमीटर ऊपर अंतरिक्ष में किया गया.

जापान के मुख्य कैबिनेट सचिव यसुहिसा शिओज़ाकी ने कहा कि उनकी सरकार ने चीन से इस परीक्षण की पुष्टि करने के लिए कहा है.

साथ ही यह बताने के लिए भी कहा है इस परीक्षण के पीछे आख़िर उसकी मंशा क्या थी.

जॉनड्रोइ ने कहा कि अमरीका मानता है कि चीन का ऐसे प्रक्षेपास्त्रों का परीक्षण दोनों देशों की अंतरिक्ष के असैन्य इस्तेमाल में सहयोग की भावना के ख़िलाफ़ है.

ऑस्ट्रेलिया के विदेश मंत्री एलेक्जेंडर डोनर ने कहा कि ऑस्ट्रेलिया नहीं चाहता कि 'बाहरी अंतरिक्ष' में हथियारों की होड़ बढ़े.

अंतरिक्ष कचरा

अगर चीन इस परीक्षण की पुष्टि कर देता है तो इसका सीधा मतलब यह होगा कि चीन सैद्धांतिक तौर पर अंतरिक्ष में छोड़े गए किसी दूसरे देश के 'जासूसी' उपग्रह को निशाना बना सकता है.

1980 के दशक में अमरीका और तत्कालीन सोवियत संघ ने अंतरिक्ष में काम कर रहे अपने उपग्रहों को नष्ट कर दिया था और इसके बाद से यह इस तरह का पहला परीक्षण है.

इस परीक्षण से चिंता बढ़ने की एक वजह और है कि उपग्रह नष्ट होने से पैदा हुए कचरे से अंतरिक्ष में असैन्य और सैन्य उपग्रहों के संचालन में मुश्किलें आ सकती हैं.

हालाँकि अमरीका चीन के इस परीक्षण को लेकर चिंता जता रहा है, लेकिन एक पहलू यह भी है कि हाल ही में चीन ने ही इस तरह के परीक्षणों पर रोक लगाने की अंतरराष्ट्रीय अपील का विरोध किया था.

Shilpa Shetty stays on in Big Brother

Sat, 20 Jan 2007 14:40:15 +0100

Saturday, January 20, 2007 (London): The people of the United Kingdom have voted for Shilpa Shetty as she stays on in the reality TV show Celebrity Big Brother. British television star Jade Goody, the woman at the centre of an international debate over racism and bullying of the Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty has been evicted.

The 25-year-old was favourite to be kicked out by public vote after being cast as the villain of a show. Television watchdog Ofcom has received 38,000 complaints about the show since contestant Jade Goody allegedly began bullying the 31-year-old Indian star.

Channel 4, under pressure to limit the fallout, has banned crowds gathering outside the house to greet the evictee and cancelled a press conference with Goody.

The show has attracted around two million extra viewers since the row erupted. Support has been pouring in for Shetty from people across the world on the internet.

News bulletins, internet chatrooms and newspapers have been abuzz with debate about whether what was said on the show constituted racism and to what extent Goody and her allies in the Big Brother house reflected prejudices in society at large.
