love you the way you are ;
in spite of our quarrels and wordily wars ;
the betrayal of emotions ;
feeling of loves erosion's ;
the hurt of losing you ;
the joy of holding you ;
the times you were not with me ;
the beautiful moments you shared with me ;
in life's ups and down ;
you hold your own;
love you the way you are ;
in spite of our quarrels and wordily wars ।

लौटा है आज वो घर बरसों बाद
लौटा है आज वो घर बरसों बाद ,
हर साल दो साल बाद ,वो घर आता जरूर था ;
पर लौटा है घर आज वो बरसों बाद /
ख़त या इ मेल तो अपनो को करता था ;
पर वो बस खोखले शब्दों का मायाजाल है मात्र /
उसने अपने फ्लैट में गमले सजाएँ हैं ;
कई छुट्टियाँ शहर के आस पास के पहाडों ,
औ पर्यटन स्थल पे बिताएं हैं/
कहाँ पाया उसने गाँव की मिट्टी का अपनापन !
शहर की पार्टियों पर ,नेटवर्क की साइटों पर ,
सैकडों मित्र, मैत्रिणी है उसकी ,
कहाँ पाया उसने ;
बचपन के दोस्तों की निश्छलता ,अपनापन ;
कैसे पाए अपने वो मचले दिन ?
बचपन की लड़ाई ,वो कसक , उतावलापन ;
लौटा है आज वो घर बरसों बाद /
कभी फ़ोन ,कभी मोबाइल पे बात कर लिया करता था अपनो से ,
पर कहाँ पाए वो उष्मा दादी की गोद का ,
मामा की सोच का ,
चाचा की डांट का ,पडोसी के दुलार का ;
माँ की ममता का ,
पिता की कडाई का ,
दादा की रजाई का /
बड़ा आदमी बन गया है अब वो ,
प्यार को कितना तरस गया है वो ;
लौटा है आज वो घर बरसों बाद /
बिस्तर माँ को जकडे पड़ा है ;
पिता की आखों में खालीपन सा छुपा है ;
बचपन का दोस्ताना ,अपनो का याराना कहीं खो सा गया है /
भाई भाभी विस्मित है ,किस ढंग से पेश आयें ;
सब चाहते तो है अपनापन और हक दिखलायें ;
झूठा दिखावा और भावों का ओथालापन ;
उसका खुद का और अपनो का ;दोनों को व्यथित किये है ;
इतने सालों को कैसे जोड़े ,ये प्रश्न भ्रमित किये है /
सालों की अपनी सफलता में ,
बीबी के चाह में ;
बच्चों को पालने में ,
शहर की चमक में ,भविष्य को निखारने में ;
अपने सुख ,झूटे दिखावे और विलासों के साये में ;
बिता डाले ;
कितने ही सावन , होली दिवाली ;
शहरों की दीवालों में ;
पर लौटा है आज वो घर बरसों बाद /
आज बीबी का तन शिथिल , माँ का वो नहीं जaनता ;
बच्चे अपनी जिंदगी में मस्त ;
समाज और दोस्तों में वह वाही है ;
ह्रदय खाली सिर्फ खाली है/
ये उसकी अपनी जिंदगी का खोखलापन,
डरावने सपने सा सामने खडा है ;
और आज उसके सामने practical बनने attitude ;
यछ प्रश्न सा सिने में जड़ा है /
लौटा है आज वो घर बरसों बाद /
हर साल दो साल बाद ,वो घर आता जरूर था ;
पर लौटा है घर आज वो बरसों बाद /
ख़त या इ मेल तो अपनो को करता था ;

Varna
Varna (वर्ण varṇa) is a Sanskrit term derived from the root vrn meaning "to choose from".
One of the foremost Rishi in Rigveda is Vishwamitra, who was a King and Kshatriya by birth. Vyasa was of mixed birth between Parasara, a Brahmin and Sathyavathi (a Soodra, fisher woman). Maharishi Matanga was from the Matanga Bhil tribe but was raised as a Brahmana. Hence to attribute inherited class system to Hindu scriptures is without substance. Only Manu Smriti talks clearly about the classes and their duties.
There is an Upanishadic story of a boy who went to a guru to study the various holy Hindu scriptures. His guru asked him what his varna was. Consulting his mother, who was actually a prostitute who didn't really know what her varna was, the boy returned to the guru and told him that he was all the varnas. He worshipped the Gods, thus fulfilling the duties that are ordinarily a Brahmin's, he earned his keep like a Vaishya, took care of cleaning the house, like a Shudra, and protected his family's interest like a Kshatriya. The guru was pleased and told the boy he was fit to be taught and initiated into the Brahmin's life.
Many Hindu yogis and sages have, over the centuries, constantly commented about inheriting social status. Shri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu (15th century), the powerful bhakti of Krishna also denounced inheriting social status. He famously distributed the Hare Krishna mantra to non-brahmins all around India, claiming this was the True path to moksha.
Kanakadasa of the 15th century also denounced inherited social status. He believed that Life in every human being is Divine, and that only the ignorant wrought injustice against their own brethren by this practice. Basavanna of the 12th century is said to have denounced inherited social status and tried to unify all communities under the Linga (form of Shiva).
MANU SMIRITI is often quoted in reference to the Varna system as an inherited social class system. The Manu Smriti is a later work that does not form a part of Hindu Scriptures, so it is of questionable relevance. Use of the Manu Smriti by the British colonialists has been used by politicians and sociologists to denigrate those of the Hindu faith.[1].
In the religious scripture Mahabharata, Yudhisthira, is questioned by Yama in the form of a Yaksha, about what makes one a Brahmin. Yudhisthira, without hesitation, said that it is conduct alone that makes one a Brahmin.
The late Swami Krishnananda, a foremost disciple of Swami Sivananda and former General Secretary of Divine Life Society, noted the following about inherited social status in his autobiography:"While the [varna] system was originally evolved for the necessary classification of human duty in order to preserve the organic stability of society, its original meaning and its philosophical foundation was forgotten through the passage of time, and bigotry and fanaticism took its place through the preponderance of egoism, greed and hatred, contrary to the practice of true religion as a social expression of inner spiritual aspiration for a gradual ascent, by stages, to God Almighty. Vidura, famous in the Mahabharata, was born of a Shudra woman. But he had the power to summon the son of Brahma, from Brahmaloka, by mere thought. Which orthodox Brahmin can achieve this astounding feat? It is, therefore, necessary for everyone to have consideration for the facts of world-unity and goodwill, Sarvabhuta-hita, as the great Lord mentions in the Bhagavad Gita. Justice is more than law. No one's body is by itself a Brahmin, because it is constituted of the five gross elements,- earth, water, fire, air and ether. Else, it would be a sin on the part of a son to consign to flames the lifeless body of a Brahmin father. It is, therefore, not proper to victimise a colleague by an action plan of any religious community wedded to fundamentalist doctrines."[2]
Atri's statement is famous. "By birth every one is a shudra, by samskars he becomes a Dvija (i.e., twice-born). By learning (studying Vedas), he becomes a Vipra and by realizing Brahman, he attains the status of a Brahmana" (Janmana jayate ....etc.)

life
I was just pondering over my life and the people whom I love and care about.One thing which is certain, almost, that more you care about someone the better are the chance of you being hurt.I think its true for most of us.It is fate of most of the people that he/she must feel the pain of dejection or unfulfilled desires and wishes from the person he cares most or loves most.It always happens the person who gave you lots of love and care gets pain and sorrow from us.. There are very few people in the world who don`t go through this. Everyone try to believe that he the lucky one.I want to believe this too. Hope God will be kind to me as he always has been.and to every person I love and care.
