माजरा क्या है?

कुछ ही पल तो मिला है हमें इसके कतरों में बिना उतरे कैसे गुज़ार दें? आँधी का शौक़ पालने वाले अक़्सर साँसों में जीना भूल जाते हैं। आदमी भीड़ हो जाया करता है, तमासे बेहतरीन हो जाया करते हैं। तबियत का हाल जानने वाले कुछ दोस्त मुनासिब नहीं होते, बस बातों में तमाम उम्र रात और दिन हो जाया करते हैं। इतने चेहरे ओढ़े हैं मुस्कान आने से रह जाती है, बेपर्दा शख्स  आजकल निजता के पर्दानशीं हो जाया करते हैं। बेसाज़, बेआवाज़ मौसीक़ी के दीवाने हर कोई मालूम पड़ता है, फ़िर भी शान्ति के बोल क्यों गुम हो जाया करते है? पहचान के ख़ातिर लहू की होलियाँ खेली जाती है, क़ब्र में जाकर वो पहचान मिट्टी के ढ़ेर हो जाया करते हैं। ईश्वर के नाम पे और कितनी सदियाँ जलेगी आग में? रोटी के नाम पे सियासतदान मौन हो जाया करते हैं।

CREATOR

Life is crazy, look dancing all, Love, cry, all the passion fall. Think less, when you fail in life, Keep moving in dearth of choice. For what creation o man you proud? Stardust is never bought. In mad love of nature's chaos, Harmony entered the door. You better dissect not o creator, You'll kill its grace and flavor. Life is visible only to those, Whose insight is open to source. Bits and pieces you project a lot, Life is not fragmental anecdotes. Birth and death, both marry to life, Describe not, you feel alive!

NATURE OF PEACE AND VIOLENCE

One of the fellows has asked me if the violence is the state of nature in which we humans are often indulged in with passion and poisonous zeal? For what purpose? To destroy what exists and to whisper on for an uncertain future to come? Why so much violence are witnessed in deeds and thoughts of one of the most rationale beings on the planet? If it has something to do with the essence, the nature of man, which is violent in a way? If our sense of peace is terminal, ad-hoc, residuary? Whether chaos reigns as the ruling emperor to the cosmos, including us, within and beyond us what Arthur Schopenhauer once claimed? Why are we so passionate to destroy the existing order, institutions, societal bond? Is it 'will to life' or 'will to power'?The love for all too chaos, like a Joker of Gotham city wishes for, to achieve what? For utopia, for dream, for wishful desire of power, for name, for fame, for richness, for ugliness? These set of questions come out in the middle of b

CARDINAL SIN OF PROPHETIC INTELLECTUALS

Our intelligentsia is deeply immersed in wishful thinking, which is certainly producing half naked half clothed intellectual with no sense of sensitivities towards reality. They're self-declared, self-contained prophets, anxiously anticipating life-lessons in abstraction, without having any awareness about the multiple colours of lives. The most liberating prophets of our age produced a series web of logics, disconnected from the things in the world. And many accepted them as the truth with slavish acceptance in totality. The danger, in fact, lurks against our civilization, not from innocence of heart and acceptance of darkness, but from the "dogma of knowledge". To know is not a final task, but a process, for one needs to be humble in the acceptance of ignorance (Karl Popper, Conjecture and Refutation).  The only value which seems to be liberatory is the acceptance of limitation, which is the very basis of scientific attitude (Chomsky). Science cannot be, and never ha

Life in a Postmodern Condition

What is the biggest joy in which one may in perpetually? Perhaps ecstasy of love, and being loved. For desire to become all powerful and famous is debasement of human's imagination. In the due course of history only famous thing survives is nothing but destruction and creation of everything. Nothing is so permanent to desire for. Nothing is beautiful enough to embrace in perpetuity. The adventurous life is an experiment to become what you are not, to learn, to live courageously, to uncloud the existing unfreedoms for a better soothing life to come. Living life like a slavish habit is a sin to abhor. Habit is often an antithesis to the possibility of wonder (David Hume).More we inculcate wonder more imaginations come to play a role. Experimenting life is the biggest adventure for scepticism is not altogether a bad company. Surrending reason for the sake of irrational wish is dangerous for the life (Burtrand Russell). No matter what you wish, life has its own rules, which happen

CIVIC ETHICS AND POPULAR CULTURE

What is the best method to cultivate civic ethics? Perhaps, there is none to be named as the best. Writing a note, what I am doing is an easy task. Tweeting and trolling require a few seconds, for heroic journalism. Social media is democratic in many sense, but it is also an space of vitriolical and sensational journalism, which is used, abused, and misused, sometimes, for expressing rage and dissatisfaction. A fine gentleman once remarked, "Every popular thing is not necessarily just or good". Justice is not a taste to appreciate. It's the highest possible principle to adjudge an action or conduct of a person in any given situation. Justice is a moral virtue for many theologians, and a political virtue for many political scientists. Justice is rhetorical in its contours, as claimed by post modernists and critical legal thinkers, justice is male as claimed by feminists across the globe. Justice is a social virtue, expressed by socialists and Gandhian thinkers. Justice i

SECULARISM AND ITS DISCONTENTS

"Secularism is not the binary opposite of communalism. The opposite of communalism is religious harmony. Secularism is the diametric opposite of theocracy or the merging of two awesome forms of power — the non-religious and the religious. Theocracy simply does not fit into modern democratic imaginations", writes Neera Chandoke.  L. Fuller while developing the inner morality of law, drifted a bit from external morality of law, while drawing a picture of "inner contents" of law. Secularism is quite similar to the idea that the contents of secularism are not drawn from theology, rather from its absence. It is external morality, which asks for "state neutrality" in the matter of religious believes. It's a thinner concept unlike a thicker one, which has no task to rationalize theology, but to leave it alone for the conscience of the citizens. Secularism is a spinal code of democracy, which couldn't be reduced to majoritarian ethics, it must pass t
