Ham-Safar

Batue mein paisey mohabbat valey,
Or dil dimag mein sukun liye firtey hain
Ham safar khud se kiya kartey hain,
Jitey khud se, khud ke liye mara kartey hain.

... Koi mila toh apna bana liya,
Gham bichadney ka jahir na kiya.
Darvaje dil ke aisey kholein,
Key dil ek nahin, hazar apney lagtey hain
Ham safar khud se kiya kartey hain…

Na sikha jhukna, na sikha mudna,
Bass rah pe rah ko sudhartey chaltey hain
Badlon ki bocharon se bheegtey,
Or fir, khuley suraj ki dhoop mein nahatey,
Ham safar khud kiya kartey hain…

Sweet Lullaby

Sad lullaby of mine,
Go and touch the hands of my beloved.
And whisper love in her ears,
Touch her forehead- affectionately,
Tell her I am up and striving not to be sad.
Oh sad lullaby!
I am suffocated by loneliness,
As she is resting in new laps.
I hate blaspheming her selfishness,
even if new hands are gracing her hair.
And to my darling-
I am no more needed.
So sweet, sad lullaby,
Love me tonight, love me stark.
Cover my eyes, as I fear this dark.
Because I know, you are true;
You will need your lover forever,
And you are not here to depart.
Sigh your honey song, Make me sleep
Before, I burn all my worldly creeds.

Distinctly yours,
Paramveer Saini

Naive Chants on Politics:on Uttar Pradesh Election Results

“My government will implement all the promises made in the SP manifesto without discrimination of caste and religion because people cutting across all castes and religions have given a mandate to the party.”

After Samajwadi Party conquered elections in Uttar Pradesh, these were the words of Akhilesh Yadav who will swear in as the next Chief Minister (CM) of Uttar Pradesh on 15th March. He is known to convert the face of Samajwadi Party from being a party dependent on muslim and Yadav vote banks for its own development to a party which is young and is ready to fulfil the demand of development of the the most populated state (Uttar Pradesh) of republic of India.

Mulayam Singh Yadav- father of Akhileish Yadav and the founder of Samajwadi party- can be termed as one of the Crime Ministers and opportunist leaders of his times. Crime minister because to win hearts of his muslim vote bank, he allegedly ordered firing on protesters in Ayodhya in 1990 which claimed life of more than 100 Hindus. Opportunist, because firstly he used anti-Maya environment in his favor in precise way, secondly, he himself wanted to discourage computers in offices and English language in schools during Parliament elections of 2009, while in manifesto for 2012
elections of Uttar Pradesh, SP promised to distribute free tablets for students.

But in all sense, agenda of development of SP is looking better than Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), specially points regarding land acquisition, transference , infrastructure Work in Progress completion etc.On the other hand, with the defeat of (BSP) in state elections of Uttar Pradesh, the 10 year long rule of so called the Social engineer came to an end. But BSP still does not bother to change its mentality that only caste-based politics is not enough, neither is the enough to throwing Ganga-jal on its corrupt governance just before elections. Even the act of throwing “tainted” MLAs out of contest in election went against BSP as many of them won the elections or helped BSP’s vote share decrease. They need to correct the apparent reasons which caused their seats to get reduced to 80 in 2012 from 206 in 2007. The reason why SP has won election by such huge margin seems to be against the classic UP case where, we had seen voters divided on the basis of caste. It must be noted that both the parties whether it was BSP or SP used to play this identity based politic card in the past. All social engineering tactic of Mayawati was based on the fact that Dalits would favour her. The so called social engineer, Mayawati is still not accepting the fact that more people are voting on the basis of performance rather than the identity of candidate. Her claim that Muslims votes had been shifted to SP because of fear of BJP, represents her same old school mentality. Even SP's old time favorites were muslim and Yadavs, but it changed its strategy according to time's opportunity.

Clearly, this time things went in other way and people have voted for the promise of development. BSP in 2007 election came out with motto of 'Sarvajan Sukhaye, Sarvajan Hitaye”, But within a year Mayawati had starting chanting her Prime Minister dreams by saying “Can’t a dalit’s daughter become the Prime Minister of India?”.I hope Akhilesh Yadav’s words would be more credible as compared to Mayawati’s rants.

Theory says when people chose their leaders looking beyond identity, quality of work done by government increases. It eventually leads to the overall development of the state. We have seen it previously in the case of Bihar and I wish, the newly elected government in Uttar Pradesh would consider the overall development of 202.83 million headcounts of the state.

She is a dichotomy

Sometimes wounds my sentiments,

She sometimes soothes my compassion.

Her small eyes are my life,

But then she slants them in shyness.

She lives in my heart,

But I found her sitting so distant!

She walks through my dreams,

Just to disappear in the early dawn.

Then I feel her in early morning,

I always have some imputation of her aura!

There is a connection;

a shackle between our spirits,

This never allows her to be parted!

But still she is a dichotomy,

Hurting my sentiments and then-

Soothing them!

Color of my figments

When you were not there to make me strong,

I had a vim and vigor, resembling aimless throng.

In half closed eyes, I felt for your trace.

Yours those winey eyes with that cute face!

Yes! My figments had color of your heart.



We realized our dreams, hand in hand,

And brought about together glories unfazed,

We invented our divine climates of rain,

Then you kissed my lips, made me insane.

My strengths went on moon unshaken!



Now after you, my world looks unshaped,

I still sense you in my dreams, hand in hand.

Our middle-night glories are still sky high,

As if you are inveterate piece of all my sighs.

Yes! My figments have color of your heart.

my unrequited love

Finally a tear has been fallen on my desk,

Over the book, accounting our love.

A desire was there to meet you once again,

Fancy for hurting myself, one more time-

with only the ignorance of yours, to regain.

Still let me close the paperback,

To lay over, my tranquil head.

Your voice being penetrated through my ears,

Oh my beloved! Yet it is the ultimate respite-

to hear my core, soothing all my fears.

Now I am alone in our love-lorn library,

But It’s not so long when I stopped loving you,

So, come! Whisper the charming lullaby in my ears,

Again, I want to sleep under the shades of my dear.

Distinctly yours,

tea of success

When the wit was sleepy,
But studying like a geek,
A heart was thundering hard,
Wondering like the one freak.
To be present-
Amongst most shining stars,
To be on a planet:
fascinating than the Mars.
And then wonder came one day,
When all toil got publicized.
Conquest stood so tall-
as exulting towards new heights.
Then on dread heart,
red flowers of success falls.
And thrilling journey finished-
with the prestigious call.
Having Maggie of joy,
At 2am, I am sitting in our proud mess,
Writing this another story,
enjoying the cup of tea of success.

Distinctly yours,
Paramveer Saini

obdurate taciturn

Something is there, dark matter,

full of deep staggered meaning.

Particles those are darker than the black,

Devils which we keep buried safe within.

Which we never want to produce,

Vicious ooze which should never exude.

Under the tone of multihued sparkles,

Yes, in the out-coming serene smiles.

A reflection of other side of money,

Simulation to sagacious disharmony.

It is this darkness of egregious soul,

Darkness of a shallow brain’s notion.

Tinted black and shimmering foul,

Wording out our obdurate taciturn!!

Written in association with a potential writer Shilpi Sharma

चाय की एक प्याली

बनाई थी आज चाय की प्याली एक,

मिठास कुछ कम सी लगी.

शायद कमी रह गई थी बस एक,

नहीं छु पी थी वो हाथ तुम्हारे.

ख़ुशी थी आज सारा जहाँ पाने की भी,

वो भी कहीं नजर नहीं आ रही,

शायद अब नहीं मिलेगी कभी,

तुम्हारे हाथों की चाय.


पड़ा है एक ख़त तुम्हारा,

अलमारी के अंदर सुरक्षित,

लिखा था जिसपे तुमने-

जीतोगे सारा जहाँ एक दिन.

होंगी खुशियाँ क़दमों तले,

कहाँ तुम जानती थी तब,

के मेरी ख़ुशी तो तुम से शुरू होके

तुम्हारे साथ ही कहीं खो गई.


आज स्मृति के आइने ने,

दिल को कहीं कुरेद सा दिया.

न तुम्हारी वाणी है स्पर्श करने को,

जिसके प्रवाह से चलती थी जिंदगी.

न ही वो ठंडी सांसे तुम्हारी,

बनाती थी जो सुहाना गर्म शामों को.

सर्दियों की सर्द रातें तो,

अब सर्द ही रहती हैं.


आज बस याद मात्र एक साथ है,

उस खुशनुमा वसंत की;

और साथ दे रही है बस,

एक फीकी सी चाय की प्याली.

IIM Essay :2: Judicial Activism in India

Judicial activism is the concept according to which judges are allowed to have their personal opinion about public policies. Judicial activism is the instrument which can be used to make vacuum between judiciary and executive branch of government small. Judicial activism may comprise:
1. Overturning law as unconstitutional.
2. Overturning a judicial precedent.
3. Ruling against a chosen interpretation of constitutional rule.
Judicial activism prospers in India through PIL i.e. Public Interest Litigation. According to PIL concept anyone can file case on behalf of aggrieved group or aggrieved person. This is contrary to simple case filing where a person files a case when some bame happen with him/her. Some recent issues where Judiciary recently acted are:
1. SC suggested/ordered government to distribute grain under public distribution policy to the poor instead of letting it rot inside godowns.
2. SC ordered government to Delhi to not demolish the night shelters made for homeless people.
3. Recent brawl of appointment of CVC PC Thomas.
The concept of dynamic participation of judiciary incurs faith of common man in this benevolent authority to replace corrupt legislature and bureaucracy. But there are some negative aspects of this participation:
1. Overburdening of courts.
2. It may stains the system of democracy according to which democratic government is based on the each organ of government respecting the power of other.

For the benefit of common Indian judicial, legislative and executive branches must work together in consent.
