Election Time

Election time in my university. Lucky that the elections are at a Hostel level alone (max stake of 400 people), else it could be nastier.

Had read somewhere before that, there is no such thing as a rational buyer, so goes the case with election candidates trying to sell themselves to the constituency, their cant be rational voters, just issues touching the emotional strings of the voters.

In an election scenario, accusing someone of Nepotism is like buying a lottery ticket, losing money and crying "It ain't fair, I do not deserve it".

For I always thought that Politics is nothing different from Nepotism, albeit legalized and at a much grander scale.

Good Better Than None Better Than Bad

Just a thought that crossed my mind during the start of last semester, when I had the option to choose my room (consequentially my roomie) that

A good roomie is better than living alone, but living alone is better than having a bad roomie.

Looks as if the philosophy could extend onto all other things, like project mates, even professors (a bad professor could be a deterrent to education)

Lastly choose a spouse you like or stay single :D

वो पूछते हैं

वो पूछते हैं कि क्या देखा है मैने तुम में,
सुकून जो चाहा था, देखा है मैने तुम में ।
तुम्हारा गम मुझे मेरे गम जैसा लगता है,
कि एक हमदर्द सा देखा है मैने तुम में ।
मैं तुम से ये नही कहूंगा, कि मैं तुम पे मरता हूं,
एक सबब जीने का, देखा है मैने तुम में ।
मैं नही जानता ले जाऊंगा कहां तक इनको,
ख्वाब ता-उम्र का, देखा है मैने तुम में ।
किसी दिन और मिल के सोचेंगे, तुम क्या हो मेरे,
एक बेनाम, हमारा, देखा है मैने तुम में ।
तुम्हारी याद मुझे रखती है गुनाहों से परे,
खुदा के राज सा देखा है मैने तुम में ।
ये डर लगा ही रेहता है, कि सब बिखर न जाए,
अपने खुदी पर का यकीन देखा है मैने तुम में ।
इस से ज्यादा मै और क्या देख सकता था,
कि एक खलील सा देखा है मैने तुम में ।
