A friend's dedication to me...

Before writing what my friend dedicated to me i would first mention its importance.For someone it may be just the compilation or rhyming of lines,for me it means treasure.Thanks a lot ANKUR for engraving these lines on my life.Getting something like this from a person who is not even an expert writer makes it more special and what makes it even more special that he engrossed his soul into it to bring my soul in his writing.

Here i am presenting a beautiful work by Ankur Jain:

Dhuan banakar hawa mein uda diya usko,
woh jal rahi thi kisi aur ne jala diya usko,

Jise kadam kadam par aazmaaya gaya woh waqt thi woh,
shayad isi tarah likhi uski taqdir khuda ne,
jise chahne wala toh mila..par chaha na gaya aisi shaqs thi woh,

Dil ki kitaab kuch iss tarah bana rahi thi woh,
har panne mein apna dard chupa rahi thi woh,
kisiko uske dard ka pata na lage,
isiliye sabke aagey muskura rahi thi woh,
Kuch fitrat hi aisi thi uski,
ke sabko jeena sikha rahi woh,

woh mausam..woh fiza bhi uski numi ke aagey kuch num si thi,
par kya karein aay zalim,
uske haathon mein mohabbat ki lakeerein kuch kum hi thi,

Mayus hai woh kuch iss ehsaas se inkar karti thi,
bhari mehfil mein kuch baat use rusva karti thi,
yakeen tha use ke saari duniya khafa hai usse,
par pata nahi kyun mujhpar aitbaar karti thi,

Abhi chalna tha usey..raste ko manzil woh maanti kaise,
jin unchaiyon ko chumna tha..use chume bina haar maanti woh kaise,

Apni chahat ko aankhon mein jalakar kuch khadi hui thi woh aise,
ke maano uske saath kuch hua hi naa ho jaise,

Uske daman par ashqon ke nishaan kuch reh gaye,
khamosh lab se guzari raaton ki dastan humse keh gaye,
bhula rahi thi woh apne ashqon ko ek bure sapne ki tarah,
apna hausla bulandh aagey kar badh rahi thi woh,

Ab manzil bhi usi ki thi,
raasta bhi usi ka tha,
sapne bhi uske the,
hausla bhi usi ka tha,

Aksar mera dil kehta hai...

Kuch Khuda bhi usi ka tha.......

Censorship is not the solution !

Strange! when the government can't solve problems at their own hand,they have better tools to use-Censorship.
In the name of 'national security',targeting of social networking sites is only going to arouse dissent but nothingelse.If the government is highly concerned about the 'security' then are other areas to delve in and needs more attention.
As stated by Kapil Sibal,he was agitated when he saw cartoon of Sonia Gandhi which was 'defamatory'.Somebody please inform Mr.Sibal that why only this cartoon agitated him.There are several other cartoons,information and videos available on internet which are derogatory not only to Sonia Gandhi but many other people..Why this wake up call now?
The question is why this law?..there are laws already prevailing and censorship is not the solution.If taken in this sense,social networking sites at times becomes the reason for 'grouped hatred' against someone.But this calls for us to become a responsible netizens.If any person finds content false or defamatory,they can very well report.There are all the mechanisms and laws which are in place and can be used when required at the right situation.
In today's time when social networking sites have become the platform for young and revolutionary voices and at the same time bridging distances between people across the world,completely rooting out these sites or censorship is the harbinger of setback.
And.if censorship is the only way out,then why only Facebook,Google and Yahoo?.Censor everything available on internet,censor newspapers and magazines,censor bollywood films,censor all the channels we watch on television.
My point is,there is no limit to censorship.There is bad,worst,threatening and obscene prevalent everywhere..its as simple as that,everything cannot be censored!.Censorship if applied in entirety it would be like 'censoring our half of the lives'.
The major problem i observe is that government tries to bring new laws and policies..when the suffice laws are already there.There is a need to sharpen already existing laws which would be more than enough to keep a check on 'national security' as well as 'individual woes' on social networking sites.
Censorship is just the word,not the solution!
