हिम्मत करने वालो की कभी हार नही होती

After spending 5 days, and 4 Nights at Indore (janambhumi), have reached back Mumbai (karambhumi) early morning today....fift visit in last 12 months , probably highest ever since i left Indore in 1995, in terms of going and comming back, may not be interm of days spend their.

This time i went alone without sneha and kids as they are having third term exams starting shortly...for attending engagment and wedding ceremony of my niece " Lovee"। Apart from attending functions. I have leisurely spent endless hours visiting home, shop, and offices of relatives, friends, and old buddies.

This time there was a strong urge to connect with the past, connect with the roots, be among the people whom i can relate with, and those who care for me and love me. .. and get over the trauma of living in Mumbai, in isolation & fear which recently witnessed worst ever terrorist attacks, which probably all of us have seen live endlessly for over 60 hours on television channels.

Selflessness, defeat, restlessness, agitation, disbelief, denial, tiredness, negativity, indecisivenss have taken over me in recent past, some time it is news of stock market crash, job losses, terror attacks, bomb explosions, ...it is Fear Every Where.... fear of loss of near and dear ones, fear of death, fear of future, fear of uncertainity..

Disgusting...it was

With such wandering thoughts, while sitting in Manish's office ( Umang Engineering), saw a poem on pin up board, which i read many a times, this some how helped me momentarily in regaining my emotional stability. Again it was Poem of Harivansh Rai Bachchan..( Google download pasted below)

लहरों से डरकर नौका पार नहीं होती ,

मेहनत करने वालों की हार नहीं होती।

नन्ही चींटी जब दाना लेकर चलती है,

चढ़ती दीवारों पर सौ बार फिसलती है,

मन का विश्वास रगों में साहस भरता है,

चढ़कर गिरना,गिरकर चढ़ना न अखरता है,

आखिर उसकी मेहनत बेकार नहीं होती ,

कोशिश करने वालों की हार नहीं होती।

डुबकियाँ सिंधु में गोताखोर लगाता है,

जा-जाकर खाली हाथ लौट आता है,

मिलते न सहेज के मोती पानी में,

बहता दूना उत्साह इसी हैरानी में,

मुठ्ठी उसकी खाली हर बार नहीं होती,

हिम्मत करने वालों की हार नहीं होती।

असफलता एक चुनौती है स्वीकार करो,

क्या कमी रह गयी,देखो और सुधार करो,

जब तक न सफल हो नींद चैन को त्यागो तुम,

संघर्षों का मैदान छोड़ मत भागो तुम,

कुछ किये बिना ही जय-जयकार नहीं होती,

हिम्मत करने वालों की हार नहीं होती।

मेहनत करने वालों की हार नहीं होती।

God bless, Ravi
