LOST AND FOUND

-

Reclined on a couch near sea shore and reading news paper on Sunday morning; nothing else seems so glorious and heavenly. A brittle voice of my wife seems echoing from a very distant place. At first I pretend unnoticing it, the next vary moment the furious face of my wife appeared in my thought and I relinquish the idea of enjoying my solitude; however I could not stop myself procrastinating and prolonging the recess. I get down from the couch and approached to the cottage, the fray between my wife and my daughter was over leaving the two slap marks on my daughter’s fair cheeks. My appearance assured her safety, she rushed to me crying and calling PAPA-PAPA. She clanged to my leg. I lifted her in lap and wiped her tears though my wife was still scolding her with the warning note of not repeating the same mistake.
I intervened and warded-off her from further clash; now the conflict was between me and my wife. After a little while the dialogue converted in monologue and more over preaching and teaching etiquette with kids. My daughter’s solace was established but patience was over. So she tried to slip by from attending melodrama.

अपने पतन के स्वयं जिम्मेदार कायस्थ

-
किसी जमाने में अपनी बुद्धि चातुर्य का लोहा पूरे विश्व में मनवाने वाले कायस्थ आज अपनी दुर्गति और उपेक्षा के स्वयं जिम्मेदार है। अन्य जातियों की भांति जहाँ उन्होंने भी अपने मन में ये दम्भ पाल लिया कि बुद्धि, चतुराई और ज्ञान जैसे अर्जित गुण सिर्फ पारिवारिक और कुल विशेष के पैतृक गुणों में तक ही सीमित है वही दूसरी ओर उन्होंने तेजी से आगे बढ़ रहे समाज के नए वर्गों और कार्यो की उपेक्षा करनी शुरू कर दी। ब्राह्मणों और क्षत्रियो के समान उन्हें भी इस बात का गुमान हो गया कि वे केवल समाज को शासित करने के लिए ही उत्पन्न हुए है। अन्तरजातोय विवाह संबंधों और उच्च जातियों के विखंडन से पैदा हुए एक नए सामाजिक परिवेश में वे स्वयं को ढालने में न केवल बुरी तरह असफल हुए बल्कि उन्होंने ज्ञानार्जन और लोक व्यवहार जैसे व्यवहारिक और उपयोगी गुणों से मुंह मोड़ लिया। कुछ एक उदाहरणों जैसे परिहार, चालुक्य, सतवाहन और कुछ अन्य उदाहरणों को अगर छोड़ दिया जाए तो कायस्थ कभी भी लड़ाकू जनजाति नही रही है। संभवतः ये कायस्थों के पतन का सर्वप्रथम कारण था जब उन्होंने सत्तायुक्त होने के स्थान पर केवल राजकाज, प्रशानिक कार्यो और सलाहका

Pandit ji ka ladka (ek adhoori katha)

Ek pandit ji ka ladka aur ek choti jati ka ladka saath saath chatravaas mein rehte the. Pandit ji use choti jati ke logon ke saath rakhna nahi chahte the lekin ghar ki maali halat acchi nahi thi aur ab jajmaani bhi kam hi bachi thi. Le de ke jo do char paise mil jate the usi mein poore parivar ka kharch chala pana aasan nahi tha. Aur fir vidhalay se ghar door bhi tha, to pandit ji ne nishchay kiya ki ladke ko chatravaas mein hi daal diya jaye. Kafi keh sunke hi uska dakhila mil paya tha. Waise to bhagwan ne bhi koi antar nahi rakha do insaano mein lekin aadmiyon ne apna swarth siddh karne ke liye jaat paat ka adanga daal diya. Kafi din beet chuke the pandit ji ko apne bete ki sudh aayi chota mota jo bhi saaman mila baandh liya aur nikal pade ladke se milne. Ladka kahin gaya hua tha uske saathi ne kahla bheja ki pandit ji aaye hai. Pitaji se milne ke liye wo sarpat bhaaga. Sayad kisi chori ke khul jaane ka darr tha ya ye shanka thi ki kahin sathi uske khilaf pandit ji ko kuch bhadka

THE TIME MECHINE

Spent hours to diagnose of what has happened to me, search out several and several sites and pages to find the answer of my quest. On one site the question of time travel was the hot topic. The flooded answers with abstruse logic and crave for perfection was everywhere. I realized it was not only I paranoid with this syndrome but many more. One more incident of today’s morning appeared before me; I was trying to connect my headphone with my phone however my headphone is not compatible with my phone. Despite several attempt to connect it I failed, I gave up the idea of listening my favorite music. Though it was a normal routine to me and everybody would suggest changing either one but perhaps that’s not the answer I am looking for. We don’t have choices every time or at time we never wish to. It’s just like travelling with flat tyre though you are sure you cannot go very far yet you don’t have the extra one.   One more practical and realistic incident appeared before me when one
