Amazing !!

 Today is the day for the letter T

-Shashi Tharoor in full flow ! ALL words beginning with the alphabet "T" ! And it ALL fits to the 'T' !!!_

*A tribute to the letter "T"*                              

 By _Sashi Tharoor_

The tongue’s terrible tendency to tell tall tales totally tarnishes traditional transcommunication theories. The tempestuous tirades traceable to the tongue testify to the traumatic tactics of this tiny tab of tissue. Thousands that take the time to think, try to tame the tumultuous torrent of the too talkative tongue. Temporarily, the tide turns. Towering tempers turn to tenderness. Then, tragically, the trend tapers. The tongue trips, teeters, then takes a tumble; the temptation to trifling twaddle triumphs.

Take time to tabulate this timeless truth: to train the tongue takes the tremendous talent of trust. Theology teaches that trust thrives through toil. Therefore, throttle the testy tongue! Terminate the trivial topics that tinge the tenor of talk! Trim the trashy, tasteless terms that transgress traditions of truth! Trounce the trite themes that toady to thoughtless tattling!

Theoretically, the tantalizing target of a true, tactful, temperate tongue torments and teases those that tackle the task. To tell the truth, thrilling triumph throngs the tracks of the tough, tenacious thwarter of tawdry talk !!!!!

Terrific Tharoor!

Truly tremendous. 

Pati - Patni !!

 पति पत्नी 

चाहे कुछ भी कहे कोई 

सबसे लंबा और सबसे गहरा एक यही रिश्ता होता है !

पहली मधु यामिनी के दो अपरिचित 

जान पाते हैं धीरे धीरे ही एक दूजे को !

सुख भी साँझे होते हैं दोनों के और दुख भी ! 

ढेर सारे अपरिचितों के बीच पत्नी केवल , एक पति से ही बाँट पाती है ,

सुख या दुःख , ख़ुशी या परेशानी ! 

फिर बच्चे आते हैं जीवन में ,

पत्नी की ख़ुशियों का केंद्र और सभी प्रकार के कर्तव्यों का केंद्र ! 

पति की मेहनत बढ़ जाती है 

बढ़े परिवार को सुख सुविधा शिक्षा उपलब्ध कराने की निष्ठा ! 

शायद पत्नी भी ज़्यादा ध्यान न दे पाये ,किंतु दोनों ही लगे रहते हैं अपने अपने तौर पर अपने घोंसले को सजाने संवारने में !

फिर धीरे धीरे इस घोंसले के सभी पंछी उड़ना सीखते हैं माता पिता से और , 

अपनी अपनी मंज़िलो की और उड़ जाते हैं ! 

फिर रह जाते हैं वो ही पति पत्नी 

अब तक मधु यामिनी सी मधुरता अंतर्ध्यान हो चुकी होती है , बीच में होता है चालीस से पचास सालों का वो वक्फ़ा , जो मानो एक दूसरे को देखे बग़ैर ही गुज़र गया था !

अजी एक दूसरे की छोडो शायद ख़ुद को आईने में देखे बग़ैर ही गुज़र गया था !

अब शुरू शुरू में बच्चों की आवाजाही 

पोते पोतियों नाती नतनियों की आवाजाही प्रतीक्षित होती है 

फिर उनकी अपनी व्यस्तताएँ , बच्चों की परीक्षाएँ बीच में बनती हैं व्यवधान !

बड़ा सा घर , बच्चों के  कमरे , और उन के बीच छाया हुआ सन्नाटा 

इस सन्नाटे को गुलज़ार करें 

अरे ये ही तो एकांत था जो ढूँढे नहीं मिला करता था 

आओ इस एकांत में एक दूसरे को खुश करने के कुछ उपाय करें ! 

एक दूसरे के दर्द को थोड़ा सा महसूस करने का प्रयास करें 

ये सफ़र एक दूसरे का हाथ पकड़ कर साथ साथ काटें 

ईश्वर को धन्यवाद दें कि अभी भी जीवन साथी साथ है 

जब न रहेगा साथी तो कैसा कठोर और ख़ौफ़नाक होगा सन्नाटा !!

Zindagi ke rang

कितने रंग हैं तेरे ए ज़िन्दगी 

बचपन का चुलबुला चटकीला सा रंग 

माँ बाप की छात्र छाया में निश्चिंतता से भरा 

अल्हड़ और मनमौजी सा रंग 

युवावस्था का किधर से कब आया 

और कब निकल गया अचंभित करता रंग 

गृहस्थी का भी पीठ पर बोझ लिये 

किसी रेस में दौड़ता सा कब बालों में सफ़ेदी ले आता सा रंग 

जिन बच्चों के पीछे पूरी ज़िंदगी की भागदौड़ रही 

करियर के पीछे उनका रफ़ूचक्कर हो जाता 

भौचक सा कर देता रंग बेरंग 

और फिर बुढ़ापे और बीमारियों में 

अस्पतालों के चक्कर लगाता , दवाइयों के इर्द गिर्द घूमता 

एक लंबा सा ठहरा हुआ कठोर रंग 

शायद इसके बाद ही आता है

मौत का इत्मीनान भरा रंग !!
