आंखे

बोहोत कुछ युं ही केह जाती है आंखे लेकिन,
निभाई दिल से दोस्ती तुम्हारी आंखों ने ।
मै सोचता हूं तुम्हारी सीरत के बारे में,
नेकी इतनी दिखा दि तुम्हारी आंखों ने ।
एक हसीन चीज खुशी होती है जिंदगी भर की,
क्यूं कहा जाता है, जताया तुम्हारी आंखों ने ।
- खलील सावंत

Eyes generally say a lot about a person,
Not to betray your heart, your eyes though, chose.
I think about your good character,
Goodness, so much your eyes have shown.
A thing oof beauty is a joy forever,
Why it is said, your eyes have made me realise.
- Khalil Sawant

I finally couldnt take it anymore.
I got up to the window and had a nice look down at both of them.
"Ek Meharbaanee Kariye", I shouted. "Kal Se Rozaa Mat Rakhnaa"

Sach

लगता है डर सच से, लोगों को इसलिये,
उनको भी शायद उसकी अजमत पे यकीं होगा ।

Truth is feared, by people because,
they too perhaps trust its strength.

My Invented Proverbs - Part V

• People are too lazy to specialize, hence they generalize. They hence do not work on facts, obtained through specialization, but rather on perceptions, obtained through generalization.
  

Conflict of Interest

Humans are in a fundamental conflict of interest

It is required for them for their daily food that they sell themselves (as we call it)
It necessitates for every individual, the need for showing how he/she is good with what he/she is
Gradually this even takes/took the help of falsehood

It is required for them to maintain peace with each other, for a successful society in general
It necessitates the need for humbleness and mutual respect, lessening of the importance of how good you are, for bragging (honest or otherwise) and peace with others cannot go hand in hand

On Krishna and Achilles

Was watching Troy yesterday on HBO
Achilles killed by his heel
One more person died similarly, Krishna, an arrow through his foot
Then something struck me
Achilles and the Trojan war was around 12-11 century BC
Krishna and the Mahabharata was around 11-10 century BC

Two legends, two historical wars, two similar deaths, nearly the same time
The connection ends there :)

Hariyanvi Mehta

Had known a guy, junior in college for some time now, around 10 months now, is a Mehta.
Came to know that he is a Hariyanvi from around Sirsa.
Weird, I thought Mehtas were supposed to be only Gujaratis.
Anyways :)
