कागज़ के फूल










काग़ज़ के फ़ूल

बसंत के फ़ूल महक गये

सावन की चिड़िया चहक गयी

खिलने की अब बाट जोह रहे

हैं तो बस कागज़ के फूल।




पंखुड़ियों को मर्म का भेद नहीं

बेज़ान कली को खेद नहीं,

सुगंध अब जो फ़ैल रही,

औकात है तो बस इसी की

और बात जो है, बस इसी की।



धूल धूसरित जो हो रहे थे तब

और बिख़र रही महक जूही की अब

कल्पनाओं कि खाद मांग कर,

उमंगों भरी जान डालकर।



सहेज रहा हूं कोस रहा हूँ

हर पल मैं अपने अनुकूल,

हैं तो बस कागज़ के फ़ूल।



- हरीश बेंजवाल

Delhi 100 Delhi/ Dilli Gate of Najafgarh, New Delhi Photo:   Delhi   Gate, Najafgarh (from my mobile phone) It is a matter of great pride for every citizen of India that Delhi , is celebrating 100 proud years for being the Capital of India.  It was in year 1911 during the rule of Imperial power the capital was shift from Calcutta (present Kolkata) to Delhi . 100 years is indeed a very long time period. Delhi is a historical city with plethora of monuments narrating the enigmatic past of it. I have been fortunate to see most of the popular historical monuments and buildings of Delhi including India Gate, Red Fort, Humayun Tomb, Qutub Minar , Old Fort, Lotus Temple , Parliament of India and so. But, the monument which attracts my fascination is the one which I regularly visit. It is something which although being a part of Delhi ’s history is not so popular. It is the Delhi/ Dilli Gate of Najafgarh (Coordinates: 28°36′45″N 76°59′05″E, So

Band Baja aur Baraat!

बैंड बाज़ा और बारात  : Epitome of Happiness! Image Courtesy : clip-art-free-clipart.blogspot.com Yesterday was a happening day. Guess what was so special?  कल मेरे यार के ' भाई ' की शादी थी .  It was a typical  Kumaoni  (Uttarakhand, India) wedding. I enjoyed a lot. I danced in all best, impossible, self-invented, on-the-spot style way, one can think of and yes for 2 hours non-stop. Yes! It was my non-stop dance display from the road with  dhol-nagada  1000watt PMPO heart thumping beats to the dancing floor of DJs. Beautiful girls were dancing, so that was another feel good factor. Along with my friends, in sync, in coordination I danced. Many times joined by little hesitating but equally curious chance performers who were the other  Baratis . The slow rhythmic dances, swinging on both left and right direction, use of hands in विचित्र मुद्रा   some exploration kind!, slightly bending towards the ground, with beats of  Pahadi  songs full of nasal twang, ul
