मोटाभाई, ये अच्छे दिन कब आएंगे ??

विजयी विश्व तिरंगा प्यारा - झंडा ऊंचा रहे हमारा |

जी रहे थे हम, बस युही मन खोकला कर रहे थे हम |

इस मनमुटाव की परिभाषा को कोई तो समझे
एक उज्वल भवितव्य के लिए आखे तरसे |

इस संवेदना की तड़प हमे उजाले के तरफ खेंचती है
नमो नमो का जप लागए बैठे,
हम में आशा की किरण सींचती है |

ये आशा है एक प्रभावी शासन की ;
पीड़ित भारत माँ को दिलासे के आसान की |

ना बाबा की जड़ीबूटी ना ऐशो-आराम हम  मांगते है,
केवल शिक्षा, रोजगार और चैन की नींद हम चाहते है |

हम चाहते है कि हमें काम करने का अवसर मिले,
हमारे कर भुगतान का कुछ तोह अंश हमें वापस मिले |

सड़क पे नारी, बुड्ढा या बच्छा घूमे तोह बेफिक्र होकर,
नौजवान चले तोह अपने कमाए पैसो की शान लेकर |

शान हो घमंड नहीं, अभिमान मिले, धुत्कार नाही |

भगत सिंघ के चुकाए कीमत की होगी कोई तो वजह
ना जाने क्यू मिल रही है हमे एक स्वतंत्र भारत में गैरो जैसी सजा |

त्सुनामी ने देश उजाड़ा सारा, तसु-'नमो' ने आश्वासन का दिया सहारा |

'श्री नरेंद्र मोदीजी' आपके नेतृतव में हम सुरक्षित महसूस करना चाहते है ,
अब्दुल कलाम का "इंडिया २०२०" का सपना हम आपके आँखोसे देकना चाहते है |

आपके दूर दृष्टि  के तेज से फूलते 'कमल' का दृश्य हमे दिखा है ,
उससे कुछ नसमाज 'हाथो'ने जरूर एक सबक सीखा है |

हम आपसे नहीं, बल्कि आज हम आपको भरोसा दिलाते है ,
ना कभी थकेंगे ना कभी रुकेंगे, आपके बताये रस्ते पर हम जरूर चलेंगे!

भविष्य में आपकी बोली में "मेरे गुजरात" के जगह "मेरे भारत" के गौरवशाली किस्से सुन ना पसंद करेंगे!
आएंगे मोटाभाई! अब अच्छे दिन जरूर आएंगे !!

Adieu Prof. Neeraj Amarnani!

We feel awkward, odd like the smell of tar
Never did we expect a string leaving the guitar

After all those moments we had,you choose to abandon us
Don't tell us when your catching the next bus
But do tell us when you will come back for us

We want to know where and why you go
What is really that special they have we would certainly like to know

If there is anything that can make you change your decision
Let us know, we can anchor on that to feed our selfish not-let-you-go emotion

We will not eat your khakra ka dabba but please do stay
Never would give u a reason to scold this outspoken away

We will pre-read and solve what you say
If that is what you want and will make you stay

We will read lengthier mails and do all simulation exercises
Try and learn formula of all sizes

We wanted to be bid adieu but are the ones waving at the gate instead
We will return to our routine but these steps feel of lead

We will avenge this denial by tracking you down
Finding you and getting hold of you- asking you to teach us in your town

I know you might have calculated all NPV's before taking on the project
We wish you all the luck we have without any risk in this subject

Adieu Sir!

Bees ka do Vadapav!

           Philip Kotler tells us what marketing is, what branding stands for, how the consumer's mind works, so on and so forth-all in a very generic fashion! We say he is the father of marketing and every latest edition does prove in favor of that statement.Although I myself do believe in his contributions; I wonder what about those people who never turned a page of any marketing book, did any management course and yet teach us more than what any author has ever got to say.
                I found one such example in 12925 Paschim Express while traveling from Andheri to Vapi in a General Dabba. The challenge was to move around in the compartments, forget sitting-to even STAND. How does one propose to sell anything in such a crowd!
               My imagination could find its boundaries with that question. Gladly, iFound an answer. Yes, there was a man trying to sell something. He sold it with a confidence that could dazzle even the Marketing VP of any company. One may wonder was it so special that one might set off writing about it, telling about it or even share it. Yes it was, it was because he was selling the simplistic dose of Carbohydrates that potatoes could offer- A Vadapav!
               The guy was selling vadapavs in a traditionally moving train, a place where there was no possible space to move, where even breeze thought twice before flowing. How did he do it! THAT needs to be appreciated. He was literally hovering above the public without Potter's broom, was jumping compartments like a Chinese Lee.  He moved around and sold the product by saying that people should pay for it only if they feel it is worth it-Else it's FREE! He went a mile ahead on placing trust in the customer by giving them the authority to throw it down the window if their taste buds don't agree with the wallet. They should pay for hot food, not something cold; for something fresh and not stale-was throwing bombs of Principles!

                The guy sold at ripe lunch time. He impressed people enough to make them reach out and lighten their pockets. He had to make sure at least one person bought in every compartment-as soon as one bought, the others followed suit.They gave in to their urge-made impulse purchases in a row and his work was done! While selling he understood that an average person would at least eat two in the same go. He sold double together , not mentioning whether one could be asked for. This created an anonymous psychology wherein people bought two where they might have just eaten one.Thus, doubling revenues and eventually the profit.
               Yes, I too did end up buying one, couldn't resist something which he called a specialty of Borivali- hot and tasty. The vadapav ended up being a regular one, however the marketing gimmick made it feel much better. A true feat of athletics, salesmanship and a will to sell as much as possible made it possible.
Kudos to such salesman out there that make the economic cycle churn!

A salute to their tremendous effort and boundless energy.

एक क्षण स्वताः साठी!

एक क्षण स्वतःच्या काळजाच्या काळगीसाठी
एक क्षण विसावाचा या धड-धडन्यारा जीवासाठी
एक क्षण फक्त स्वतःकडे बघण्यासाठी
एकाच क्षण धावपळ थांबवण्यासाठी
एक क्षण मनातला मन ओळखण्यासाठी
एक क्षण आयुष्याच्या कमी होणाऱ्या दोरयासाठी
एक क्षण सरसरणाऱ्या पानांसाठी
एक क्षण त्या हिर्वळच्या गारठ्या साठी
एक क्षण त्या न थांबणाऱ्या वाऱ्या साठी
एकाच क्षण हवा हे आयुष्य रमण्यासाठी,
एकाच क्षण हवा हे आयुष्य जगण्यासाठी!
एक क्षण फक्त स्वताः साठी!

Hope and Belonging!

And another New Day brings hope to the despair,
HIS justice is so worthy just and fair

Come out O anxieties and fear,out of your lair
For every day has another flair

The cloud and the silver line may not be visible to the naked eye
But surely peace will follow clean and dry

With every step thou shall seed a new way,
Your virtues & principles will make you happy and gay

The Lord has risen & has rose through us,
Each and every one,get ready,stride this Bus!

Ahoy, give me a hand,a penny and a stand
And the Lord in me shall grow, taking no by-stand

There isn't any His land or Wiz land
Fraternity calls,walk ahead,ITS MY LAND!! 

माँ तेरी ममता !

माँ तेरे ममता में मई ऐसा खोया,
तेरे लिए माँ मेरा प्यार कभी नई सोया

रोज सुबह उठकर जब बैठता हु,
नम आँखोसे माँ तुज ही को ढूंढ़ता हु!

तुझीसे बात करके मेरे दिन का सूरज सजता है,
मेर दिन तुझिपे शुरू और तुझि पे अंत होता है|

घरके खाने की महक आये अरसो हुए,
माँ तेरे हाथ का खाना खाये बरसो हुए|

माँ कहती है जीवन ज्ञान का भंडार है,
जितना समेत सको समेटलो, यही गीता सार है|

हर रुपैये का हिसाब, हर पल का मोल रखना,
बेटा इन दो चीजो में कभी नई चूकना|

परवरदिगार कटेली राह पर फूल संजोता है,
माँ तेरा आशीष जब साथ होता है|

इस बेटे का है बस तुझसे इतना कहना,

युही हर मोड़ पर माँ तू हाथ देना,
युही हर मोड़ पर माँ तू साथ रहना!

Heartbeats!

Waiting for your call, tear drops come and fall.

Life gives a temporary rejoice,

When I am hearing your cute voice!

I want you my dear all along,

And just keep singing life’s beautiful song!

My emotions have become a bunch of dangling threads,

I wonder when you will come and weave, giving them meaning instead!

Your heart flows like a holy river,

Don’t manipulate it with this world’s practicality fever.

Let the innocence the sweetness be alive,

To restore the bonding, I will continuously strive!

A simple person in a simple way;

May the world at your feet lay!

You will find pure love if u tear apart,

This honest friend's pumping heart.

I would never know what you will think of me as time will grow,

Don’t you dare ever raise a doubting eyebrow!
