Neeraj

 

हर दिवस श्याम में ढल जाता है 
हर तिमिर धूप में जल जाता है | 
मेरे मन इस तरह ना हिम्मत हार 
वक़्त कैसा भी हो बदल जाता है || 

2014
Neeraj explains about life, democracy, philosophy. Goladas Neeraj was born in 4 Januray 1924. In 1947 he was 23 years of age. Neeraj died 19 July 2018 (aged 93 years)
नीरज  
"हर रोज समन्दर  ने मुझे  बहकाया, लेकिन ना वहां एक भी मोती पाया /
पर शयाम हुई जाल को खींचा मैने , एक शंक ही हाथों में उभर कर आया //

हर धरम के आदेश को माना मैंने , दर्शन के हर सूत्र को छाना मैंने/ 
जब जान लिया सब कुछ तो ये जाना मैंने, मैं कुछ भी नहीं जाना ये जाना मैंने //"

इस सागर में कोइ ना बचा सबके सब एक छण में डूब गए (५४:३१)

नीरज
स्वपन झड़े फूल से मीत चुभे शूल से 
लुट गए श्रृंगार सभी बाग  के बबूल से 
और हम खड़े खड़े बहार देखते रहे /
 कारवां गुजर गया गुब्बार देखते रहे //

नींद भी खुली न थी कि हाय धूप ढल गयी 
पाँव जब तलक उठे की जिंदगी फिसल गयी 
पात पात झड़ गए की शाक शाक जल गई 
चाह तो निकल सकी ना, पर उम्र निकल गयी 

चाह तो न निकल सकी उम्र मगर निकल गयी /
क्या शबाब था की फूल फूल प्यार कर चूका 

और हम झुकी नजर

गीत जब मर जायेंगे फिर क्या यहां रह जायेगा 
इक सिसकता आसुंओं का कारवां रह जाएगा |
आग लेकर हाथ में पगले जलाता है किसे 
जब ये बस्ती ना रही तू कहां रह जाएगा //
गर चिरागों की हिफाजत फिर उन्हें सौपीं गयी 
रौशनी मर जाएगी खाली धुआं रह जाएगा ||
आएगा अपना बुलावा जिस घडी उस पार से 
मैं कहां रह जाऊंगा और तू कहां रह जाएगा ||
जिंदगी और मौत की नीरज कहानी है यही 
फुर्र हो जायेगी चिड़िया, आशियाँ रह जायेगा ||



4 January 2018 
जब चले जाएंगे हम लौट के सावन की तरह /
याद आएंगे प्रथम प्यार के चुम्बन की तरह //
मेरे घर कोई ख़ुशी आती तो कैसे आती / 
उम्र भर साथ रहा दर्द महाजन की तरह //
दाग मुज़मे है की तुझमे, ये पता तब होगा /
मौत जब आएगी कपडे लिए धोबन की तरह//
कोई कंघी न मिली जिससे सुलझ पाती वो /
जिंदगी उलझी रही ब्रह्म के दर्शन की तरह //
जिक्र जिस दम भी छिड़ा उनकी गली में मेरा /
जान लें  शर्मायी क्यों गाँव की दुल्हन की तरह //
जिस में इंसान के दिल की न हो दड़कन नीरज /
शायद ही है वो अख़बार के कर्तन की तरह //

आज मैखाने में ये कार्य सवाबी हो जाये / बिन पिए वक़्त का अंदाज़ गुलाबी हो जाये /
क्या जरूरी है मयो जामो सबु ए साकी / तू जिसे देख ले वो मस्त शराबी हो जाए // बेकल उत्साही (३;४०)

बादलों से सलाम लेता हूँ , वक़्त के हाथ थाम लेता हूँ /
मौत मर  जाती है पल भर के लिए जब मैं हाथों में जाम लेता हूँ // नीरज 

अपनी मस्ती की शाम मत देना / दोस्तों को ये काम मत देना /
जिसको पीने की कुछ तमीज न हो उनके हाथों में जाम मत देना //
 आज मैखान में ये कार्य सवाबी (पुण्य का काम)  हो जाए, बिन पिए वक़्त का माहौल गुलाबी हो जाए | 
क्या जरुरी है यहां जामो सबु ए साकी , तू जिस्से देख ले वो सक्श शराबी हो जाए //

मेरा धर्म है मोहब्बत मेरी नीत  है भलाई /
मेरी मंज़िल एकता है, नहीं राह है पराई || 
कभी बन गया मैं  हिन्दू, कभी बन गया मुसलमान
न हीं बन सका मैं इंसान, मुझे मौत क्यों ना आयी /
फटी कमीज नुचि आस्तीन, कुछ तो है, गरीब ऐसी दशा में हसीं कुछ तो है | 
लिबास कीमती रख कर भी नंगा है , हमारे गाँव में मोटा महीन कुछ तो है //

इतने बदनाम हुए हम तो इस जमाने में / तुमको लग जाएंगी सदियां हमे भुलाने में //
ना तो पीने का सलीक़ा ना पिलाने का शवूर  ऐसे ही लोग चले आये हैं मैखाने में //

अब तो मजहब कोई ऐसा भी चलाया जाए / जिसमे इंसान को इंसान बनाया जाये / 
आग बहती है यहां गंगा में, झेलम में भी / कोई बतलाये कहां जाकर नहाया जाए //

मेरा मकसद है ये महफ़िल रहे रोशन यूँही / खून चाहे मेरा दीपों में जलाया जाये /
मेरे दुखदर्द का तुझ पर हो असर कुछ ऐसा / मैं रहूं भूखा तो तुज़से भी ना खाया जाए // 
जिस्म दो हो कर भी दिल एक हों अपने ऐसे / मेरा आसूं तेरी पलकों पर सजाया जाये //
गीत गुम सुम  ग़ज़ल चुप है रुबाई है दुखी ऐसे माहौल में नीरज को बुलाया जाये // 

कल रात उनको देखा था उर्दू लिबास में कोई ये कह रहा था की अगला चुनाव है // बिकल 

परिवर्तन : अब न वो दर्द न वो दिल न दीवाने रहे अब न वो साज ना वो सोज़ न वो गाने रहे /
साकी तू  अब भी यहां किसके लिए बैठा है अब न वो जाम न वो मय ना वो पैमाने रहे // नीरज 

न सफीरे सल्तनत हूँ , ना असीर  हुकमेशाही  मेरा गम गमे वतन है मैं कलम का हूँ सिपाही // (१९:१९)
ये चिराग और दामन वो जमाल और  चिलमन ये शरूरे मासियत है वो गरूर बेगुनाही // बिकल 

ना  लड़खड़ाया कभी, कभी ना बहका हूँ मुझे पिलाने में फिर तुमने  क्यों  कमी की है // नीरज 

मैं अँधेरे में हरगिज ना रहता / मुझे धोखा दिया है रोशिनी ने // बिकल उत्साही 



मेरा धर्म है मोहब्बत मेरी नीत  है भलाई /
मेरी मंज़िल एकता है, नहीं राह है पराई || 
कभी बन गया में हिन्दू, कभी बन गया मुसलमान
न हीं बन सका मैं इंसान, मुझे मौत क्यों ना आयी /


6 February 2013 

अब तो मजहब कोई ऐसा भी चलाया जाए / जिसमे इंसान को इंसान बनाया जाये / 
आग बहती है यहां गंगा में भी झेलम भी / कोई बतलाये कहां जाकर नहाया जाए //

इतने बदनाम हुए हम तो इस जमाने में / तुमको लग जाएंगी सदियां हमे भुलाने में //

19 January 2014 

कोई चला तो किस लिए नज़र तू दबदबा  गयी 
शृंगार क्यों सेहर गया बिहार क्यों लजा गयी //
ना  जनम कुछ, ना मृत्यु  कुछ, बस इतनी ही तो बात है 
किसी की आँख खुल गयी किसी को नींद आ गयी //

Maut ek jindgi ki karwat hai apni marji se ye nahin aati.
मौत एक जिंदगी की करवट है /
अपनी मर्जी से ये नहीं आती //

इतने बदनाम हुए हम तो इस जमाने में | 
तुमको लग जाएंगी सदियां हमे भुलाने में || 
ना तो पीने का सलीका ना पिलाने का शऊर 
ऐसे ही लोग चले आएं हैं मैखाने में //
जब चले जाएंगे हम लौट के सावन की तरह | 
याद आएंगे प्रथम प्यार के चुम्बन की तरह || 
मेरे घर कोई ख़ुशी आती तो कैसे आती | 
उम्र भर रहा दर्द महाजन की तरह || 
दाग मुझमे  है की तुझमे, ये पता तब हुआ | 
मौत जब आएगी धोबन की तरह || 
जिसमे इंसान के दिल की ना हो धड़कन नीरज | 
शायरी है वो अखबार की कतरन की तरह || 
हर धर्म के आदेश को माना मैंने, दर्शन के हर एक सूत्र को छाना मैंने | 
जब जान लिया सब कुछ तो ये नीरज जाना मैने, मैं कुछ भी नहीं जनता ये जाना मैंने || 

अबके सावन में शरारत मेरे साथ हुई 
मेरा घर छोड़के कुल शहर में बरसात हुई /
जिंदगी भर तो हुई गुफ्तगूं गैरों से मगर 
आज तक हमसे हमारी ना मुलाक़ात हुई || 
हम तो मस्त फ़क़ीर, कोई अपना नहीं ठिकाना रे 

जितना कम सामान रहेगा,  उतना सफर आसान रहेगा 

जब तक मस्जिद मंदिर है मुश्किल में इंसान रहेगा || 

आप मत  पूछिए क्या  हम पे सफर में गुजरी, 
था लुटेरों का जहाँ गाँव वहां अपनी रात हुई || 

सफर ये सांस का अब खतम होने वाला है 
जो जागता था मुसाफिर वो सोने वाला है || 
ना सोच तू सियेगा वो तेरी चादर भी 
वो सिर्फ सुई में धागा पिरोने वाला है || 
दुखी सभी है यहां अपने अपने सुख के लिए 
मेरे लिए ना कोई रोने वाला है || 


अब तो मजहब कोई ऐसा भी चलाया जाए 
जिसमे इंसान को इंसान बनाया जाये | 
आग बहती है यहां गंगा में, झेलम में भी 
कोई बतलाये कहां जा के नहाया जाये 
मेरे दुखदर्द का तुझपर हो असर कुछ ऐसा 
मैं रहूं भूखा तो तुझसे भी ना खाया जाये || 
गीत गुमसुम है ग़ज़ल चुप है रुबाई है उदास 
ऐसे माहौल में नीरज को बुलाया जाये //


मैं सोच रहा हूँ अब जो युद्ध होगा --- अब युद्ध नहीं होगा (3:44 to 8:40)

Johan Galtung

 OPINION

A Structural Theory of Aging


Reprint |       |  Print | 

The author is professor of peace studies, dr hc mult, is founder of the TRANSCEND Network for Peace, Development and Environment and rector of the TRANSCEND Peace University-TPU. He has published 164 books on peace and related issues, of which 41 have been translated into 35 languages, for a total of 135 book translations, including '50 Years-100 Peace and Conflict Perspectives,' published by the TRANSCEND University Press-TUP.

ALICANTE, Spain, Mar 14 2017 (IPS) - Wikipedia has much to offer under “aging”. Highly recommended are the 10 points by the world’s oldest living man, 114, Walter Breuning.


Johan Galtung

However, older persons, like me at 86, know their own aging best. Less trouble with “oxidant stress” as a major cause, having used anti-oxidants based on blueberry skin–no chemicals–for decades. 20,000 blood stem em cells renew my blood, but they are dying. Problematic.

Rule no. 1: Keep mind and body active; maintain a good nutrition.

Obvious to counteract aging. However, equally important:

Rule no. 2: Be open to the positive sides and advantages of aging.

Bertrand Russell’s “On Being 90” in the Observer dispenses with the disadvantages as obvious, in favor of his advantage: the overview. At the age of 5 he sat on the knee of a man who had fought Napoleon at Waterloo in 1815-=-. The longer the lives we have lived, the more events have impinged upon us. An “overview” identifies some link, a narrative, a common factor. That identification is often referred to as “wisdom”.

However: thigh muscles weaken, walking falters, fatigue, seeing and hearing impaired. Exercise helps, but aging is unavoidable.

Rule no. 3: At least do not fall; not breaking fragile bones, no ending up bedridden in a hospital, contracting new diseases. Equip the room, the home, the context with handles and handrails.

Then the mental aspects of aging: memories failing, not only of recent events, less ability to handle many and simultaneous stimuli. As a result, many and more mistakes reinforcing the sense of aging.

Rule no. 4: Simplify the context, contract the circle of living. Be realistic, change the structure of daily life, narrow the circle to what can be handled easily: the ward, the village, the context, the home, the room–but then equipped with a maximum of music, books, social media, as enriching as possible. If driving, then on known roads with little traffic, in small towns, villages.

Rule no. 5: Togetherness. A society with much loneliness for young or old is a bad society. Get old together, with a spouse, a cooperating partner. Much conversation will be about pains suffered. But cut it short. Focus on positives, beautiful landscapes, gardens, music, literature. Enjoyment together is more than double enjoyment.

Make shared meals as much of a feast as possible. The ability to enjoy good food lasts; our senses of smell and taste are more solid. No smoking of course and moderation with alcohol, sugar and cereals. Let good food and drinks stay a while in the mouth where the taste buds are, tied to the smell; do not just swallow and “wash it down”.

Rule no. 6: Live both real and virtual lives. Postmodern life has two realities; not only what we sense but also a virtual, IT, reality with friendship and enriching exchanges activating the mind. IT offers all of that–with no risks of falling!–in the simple context of a ca computer. Particularly when adding Skype, and even free!

Rule no. 7: no retirement. Go for a job where the older can share experiences with the younger, even if no longer showing up at work. A work place closed to the older is a bad work place. In post-modernity this is possible in ways unthought-of, for mutual benefit. How much, paid or unpaid, can be negotiated. Being productive is what matters.

Negate this. Retire, cut all links, live only one reality, alone/lonely, in a complex world with physical and mental risks, nothing positive, passively, no exercise, bad nutrition. Brutish, nasty, and short.

Better contract from the macro-society of country-region-world to a rich micro-society of a circle around oneself and the partner(s), relating to other circles. But it does not have to be that micro.

We can argue: high time. To be born into micro-society, then the macro-society of education and work, and then a poor micro-society of retirement is not good enough. Traditionally, women continue working longer than men, living more human lives. Is this why women live longer?

Due to better health, and family planning favoring 2 children, we now have aging populations and even more return into micro-society in old age homes.

Some time ago, huge macro-society growth swallowed such micro-societies as villages; now there is a return to villages and a return to childhood at old age. And macro becomes even more macro, regional, global, marginalizing the old even more. Inhuman; a far cry from retired farmers still living on the farm for care and experience.

Major structural changes, hence this structural theory of aging.

In those micro-societies of the aged, with nurses and others for “assisted living”, all know that the purpose of still living is dying. And before that there may be physical and mental suffering. Inhuman!

Fight it; practice Rules 1-2-3-4-5-6-7. Aging is nothing to be afraid of, but foresight and planning are indispensable. Some macro can be created. A married couple here and an unmarried there, each managing in their ways, can relate, exchange experiences, also to old-age homes that may be the longer term answer to the aging. Virtually this micro to micro can even cross borders. Reconquering macro life.

Let me end on a subjective note. Having lived an eventful rich life, including meeting many people “high up”, I remember thinking “how can I live without this when I get older”? I find myself, older, thinking “how could I live without the wonderful life I now have”? Deluding myself, in both cases, closing the eye to all the negatives? Maybe. But then, maybe some selection is part of a good life.

I find myself floating, navigating through time and life, trying, not always successfully, to do more good and less harm. Not concluding that the present is the best period although it often feels like that. It is different, and very good. One positive aspect is obvious: with less work in the sense of a job there is more time for work in the sense of being creative. With hands and the mind. On the computer.

Thanks, Life, the best of all gifts. For every day.

"क्या हमारी ये बेबसी कम है 

हैं बहुत काम जिंदगी कम है /

We have lot to do but the life is very short.

चश्मे साकी तो मेहरबां है मगर 

क्या करें अपनी प्यास ही कम है /

God wanted to give me more, but my needs were less.

आज तो बेहिजाब आ जाओ 

आज महफ़िल में रौशनी कम है /

आज शायद वो मान जायेगे 

आज कुछ उनकी बेरुखी कम है /"

60 to 90

4 March 2023

                                                        Airport New Zealand Party 
Many people feel unhappy, health-wise and security-wise, after 60 years of age, owing to their diminishing importance and opinions. But, it need not be so if only we understand the basic principles of life and follow them scrupulously. So, here are ten mantras to age gracefully and make life after retirement pleasant.
                                       Auckland Wine Taster Association - Tasting of Wine
1. Never say I am aged':  There are three ages, chronological, biological, and psychological. The first is calculated based on our date of birth; the second is determined by our health conditions; the third is how old we feel we are. While we don't have control over the first, we can take care of our health with a good diet, exercise, and a cheerful attitude. A positive attitude and optimistic thinking can reverse the third age.

2. Health is wealth: If you really love your kith and kin, taking care of your health should be your priority. Thus, you will not be a burden to them. Have an annual health check-up and take the prescribed medicines regularly. Do take health insurance coverage.


3. Money is important: Money is essential for meeting the basic necessities of life, keeping good health, and earning family respect and security. Don't spend beyond your means, even for your children. You have lived for them all through, and it is time you enjoyed a harmonious life with your spouse. If your children are grateful and they take care of you, you are blessed. But, never take it for granted.


4. Relaxation and recreation:  The most relaxing and recreating forces are a healthy religious attitude, good sleep, music, and laughter. Have faith in God, learn to sleep well, love good music and see the funny side of life.
                                                Auckland Botanical Garden 
5. Time is precious: It is almost like holding a horses' reins. When they are in your hands, you can control them. Imagine that every day you are born again. Yesterday was a canceled cheque. Tomorrow is a promissory note. Today is ready cash - use it profitably. Live this moment; live it fully, now, in the present time.
      Friends of Politics 733 of University of Auckland- Universidad de Los Andes Colombia

6. Change is the only permanent thing: We should accept change - it is inevitable. The only way to make sense out of change is to join in the dance. Change has brought about many pleasant things. We should be happy that our children are blessed.


7. Enlightened selfishness:  All of us are basically selfish. Whatever we do, we expect something in return. We should definitely be grateful to those who stood by us. But, our focus should be on the internal satisfaction and the happiness we derive by doing good for others, without expecting anything in return. Perform a random act of kindness daily.
8. Forget and forgive: Don't be bothered too much about others' mistakes. We are not spiritual enough to show our other cheek when we are slapped in one. But for the sake of our own health and happiness, let us forgive and forget them. Otherwise, we will be only increasing our blood pressure.

9. Everything has a purpose: Take life as it comesAccept yourself as you are and also accept others for what they are. Everybody is unique and is right in his own way.


10. 
Overcome the fear of death:  We all know that we have to leave this world one day. Still, we are afraid of death. We think that our spouse and children will be unable to withstand our loss. But the truth is no one will die for you; they may be depressed for some time. Time heals everything, and they will go on.

http://www.ted.com/talks/alexander_tsiaras_conception_to_birth_visualized.html?utm_source=newsletter_weekly_2011-11-15


Kindly contemplate the questions after seeing the video.

1)  Who forms all the parts of the human body from conception till its full development into a child, then childbirth. Later the being grows up & keeps on functioning till death ?

2)      What is the role of Astrology ? 9 planets (Grehs), 12 Houses (Rashis), and 27 Stars (Nakshatras)?  Each Nakshatra plays a part. 

3)      Each child is born pure and pious, indicating the place of conception and birth (womb) to be pure and pious, in turn, the female, i.e., MOTHER. Do we consider it like that?   Yes 

4)      With which kind of emotions or bhava parents plan for child & what is its role in the child?

My Facebook Friend writes and informs, and  I am reproducing for my friends. 
A Beautiful Letter from a Father 
Following is a letter to his son from a renowned Hong Kong TV broadcaster cum Child Psychologist. 
The words are actually applicable to all of us, young or old, children or parents. I am writing this to you because of three reasons 
1. Life, fortune, and mishaps are unpredictable. Nobody knows how long he lives. Some words are better said early. 
2. I am your father, and if I don't tell you these, no one else will.
3. What is written is my own personal bitter experiences that perhaps could save you many unnecessary heartaches. 
Remember the following as you go through life. 
1. Do not bear grudge towards those who are not good to you. No one has the responsibility of treating you well, except your mother and me. To those who are good to you, you have to treasure it and be thankful, and ALSO, you have to be cautious because everyone has a motive for every move. When a person is good to you, it does not mean he really likes you. You have to be careful, don't hastily regard him as a real friend. 
2. No one is indispensable, nothing in the world that you must possess. Once you understand this idea, it would be easier for you to go through life when people around you don't want you anymore or when you lose what/who you love most. 
3. Life is short. When you waste your life today, tomorrow, you would find that life is leaving you. Therefore, the earlier you treasure your life, the better you enjoy life. 
4. Love is a transient feeling, and this feeling would fade with time and mood. If your so-called loved one leaves you, be patient, time will wash away your aches and sadness. Don't over exaggerate the beauty and sweetness of love, and don't over exaggerate the sadness of falling out of love. 
5. Many successful people did not receive a good education, which does not mean that you can be successful by not studying hard! Whatever knowledge you gain is your weapon in life. One can go from rags to riches, but one has to start from some rags! 
6. I do not expect you to financially support me when I am old. Neither would I financially support you for my whole life. My responsibility as a supporter ends when you are grown up. After that, you decide whether you want to travel by public transport or in your limousine, whether rich or poor. 
7. You honor your words, but don't expect others to be so. You can be good to people, but don't expect people to be good to you. If you don't understand this, you will end up with unnecessary troubles. 
8. I have bought lotteries for umpteen years, but I never strike any prize. That shows if you want to be rich, you have to work hard! There is no free lunch! 9. No matter how much time I have with you, let's treasure the time we have together. 
We do not know if we would meet again in our next life……………………. Your Dad.
