मैं बिहारी हूँ

हम बिहारवासियों की सूर्य के साथ समानता है। दुनिया का कोई कोना नहीं जहाँ हमारी उपस्थिति नहीं। कोई चमक नहीं, जहाँ हमारा श्रम नहीं।
पंजाब-हरियाणा के खेतों में मेरा कोई भाई घुटने भर कीचड़ में घुसकर धान रोपता है, सूर्य की किरणों की मदद से पौधे धान बनाते हैं.... सारा हिन्दुस्तान खाता है। मेरा कोई दूसरा भाई मंत्रालय में धान का समर्थन-मूल्य तय करता है और एक तीसरा भाई, ये तय करता है कि धान पर्याप्त हैं कि आयात करना है।
मैं कोकड़ाझाड़ से लेकर कोयम्बटूर तक हूँ । मैं रेलवे के ट्रैक की कुशलता चेक करने से लेकर 35,000 फीट की ऊँचाई पर जहाज के कॉकपिट में हूँ। मैं मुंबई की सड़कों पर दौड़ रही टैक्सी से लेकर, देश चला रहे दिल्ली के नॉर्थ-ब्लॉक के अंतिम पद पर हूँ।
गगनचुंबी ईमारत से लेकर अनाज से भरे गोदाम तक मेरी बाजूओं से निकले हैं। अर्थशास्त्र की नीतियों से लेकर राजनीति के सिद्धांत तक मैं ही लिखता था....मैं ही लिख रहा हूँ ।
आप मेरे "अस्त" होने का भ्रम पाले हैं..... और मैं आपके शहर में अपके लिए नीतियाँ बना रहा हूँ.... 
सूर्य मुझमें है... मैं सूर्य में हूँ । मैं कभी अस्त नहीं हो सकता.... क्योंकि मैं निस्वार्थी मेहनतकश मजदूर हूँ..... 
हाँ, मैं बिहारी हूँ l

Battles Behind Every Smile

Image
  We often hear that "life isn't fair," but those words carry more weight than we might realize. Life, with all its twists and turns, doesn't distribute its joys and struggles evenly. While some people seem to breeze through life, others face challenges at every step. Some people seem to breeze through life, while others face challenges at every step. But beneath the surface, no matter how things appear, everyone is fighting their own unseen battle. From childhood, we're taught the importance of fairness. We learn to share, to take turns, and to treat others as we'd like to be treated. But as we grow up, we quickly realize that the world doesn’t always operate on the principles of fairness we were taught. The illusion of fairness fades when we see good people facing hardships while others appear to glide through life. It's easy to fall into the trap of comparing our lives to others, questioning why certain things happen to us while others seem untouched ...

Freedom In Love

Image
  In the journey of life, relationships are like the threads that weave the fabric of our existence. Each connection adds depth and meaning to our experiences, but it's essential to remember the importance of freedom within these bonds. For some, love may appear as a complex web of obligations and expectations. But for those who understand the true essence of love, it's a beacon of freedom, a choice made from the depths of the heart. I've always believed in the sanctity of choice. I never wish to be the one who compels someone to stay. If there's something or someone else out there that calls to you, I won't stand in your way. Life is too short to hold onto someone who isn't sure where they belong. For me, love is synonymous with freedom. It's about giving each other the space to grow and evolve, free from constraints or expectations. It's about embracing the truth of our feelings and allowing them to guide us. If you choose to be with me, let it be ...

Cost of Experience

Image
  Life is a journey filled with many experiences, some vibrant and joyful, others darker. But one thing is common – every experience comes with a cost. Often, the most overlooked cost is the feeling of being alone, even when surrounded by people. Think about a time when you achieved something big; a career milestone, a long-awaited travel adventure, or a personal breakthrough. The world claps for you; people smile and cheer, and yet, deep down, there’s an emptiness. Why? Because the journey to that moment, the struggles, the sleepless nights, and the quiet fears, were walked alone. Take the story of someone moving to a new city, to follow their dreams. Initially, there’s excitement, the thrill of change, and the allure of new beginnings. But with every unfamiliar face and unspoken connection, a creeping sense of solitude sets in. It isn’t about the absence of people; it’s about the absence of someone who truly understands your battles. And that’s okay. In fact, it’s often necessa...
