न नौ मन तेल होगा, न राधा नाचेगी !

मत कहो आकाश में कोहरा घना है,
यह किसी की व्यक्तिगत आलोचना है ||
~दुष्यंत कुमार 


यह दुनिया एक भेड़चाल है मेरे दोस्त | और हम? हम इसमें चलने वाली भेड़ें |

किसी ने कहा है, कि यदि प्रत्येक व्यक्ति को उसके मन की करने दें, तो थोड़े समय के उपरान्त सभी लोग एक सी चीज़ करते पाये जाएंगे | इसलिए नहीं कि हमारे मन में कुछ करने की चाह नहीं है, परन्तु क्योंकि हम भेड़ें हैं, जज्बा नहीं है | हमें अनुसरण करने की आदत हो गयी है | हमें बदलाव से डर लगता है |  सर उठाने से डरते हैं, कहीं कोई हमें कतार के आगे न ले जाए और मोर्चे की अगवाही करने को कह दे | आगे बढ़ना भी चाहते हैं, और नहीं भी चाहते, इतना काम कौन करेगा, ना जी, हम दूसरों का मार्गदर्शन कर सकते हैं, पर अपना मार्ग सुधारने में अभी विलंभ है, कल देखते हैं |  अपनों के लिए डरते हैं, "टेढ़ा है, पर मेरा है" | अपने हित के बारे में सोचते हैं, अधिकारों का रोना रोते हैं, दायित्व से दूर भागते हैं | हम भेड़ें हैं, चरवाहा घास के मैदान में खुला छोड़ दे, बस, और क्या चाहिए |


Newtons first law of motion states that a body continues to be in its state of rest or of uniform motion, until and unless it is acted upon by a force. In short, it is its inherent nature, to resist change.
I am inertia. And the worst part is that I know every bit of it.

और चिन्तक लोग कहते हैं कि केवल कब्रिस्तान ही एक ऐसी जगह है जो बदलने से इनकार करती है | अरे कब्रिस्तान भी मुर्दों कि आवाजाही से आबाद होता है, बर्बाद तो वो होते हैं जो सब समझ कर भी चुप रहते हैं |

जब में छोटा था, एक व्यंग्य को समझ न पाया था | हरिशंकर परसाई जी ने लिखा है, 'रीढ कि हड्डी' | एक आदमी था, शरीफ आदमी, इज्ज़तदार आदमी | बेटी जिद करे तो कहता, "बेटियाँ ऐसी ही होती हैं', बीवी हुक्म चलाये तो कहता, 'बीवियां ऐसी ही होती हैं', दफ्तर में बॉस गुस्सा करता था तो कहता, 'बॉस ऐसे ही होते हैं', उसने, कभी कुछ चाह ही नहीं | यदि चाहा भी तो, माँगा नहीं, मांगने पर नहीं मिला तो दब कर, समझोता कर के कहा, 'ऐसा ही होता है' | केंचुए कि भी रीढ कि हड्डी नहीं होती | आज वही लक्षण देख कर मेरे अंदर का कायर सिहरा उठता है | पर मैं भी एक भेड़ हो चला हूँ,  शामिल हूँ उस, भेड़चाल में, जिसमे अधिकाँश दुनिया लगी हुई है | आज व्यंग्य खूब समझता हूँ, बस हंस नहीं पाता हूँ उस पर |



"I would not have any one adopt my mode of living on any account; for, beside that before he has fairly learned it I may have found out another for myself, I desire that there may be as many different persons in the world as possible; but I would have each one be very careful to find out and pursue his own way, and not his father's or his mother's or his neighbor's instead. The youth may build or plant or sail, only let him not be hindered from doing that which he tells me he would like to do. It is by a mathematical point only that we are wise, as the sailor or the fugitive slave keeps the polestar in his eye; but that is sufficient guidance for all our life. ~Walden"



कभी खुद पे कभी हालात पे रोना आया
बात निकली तो हरेक बात पे रोना आया ।
(साहिर लुधियानवी)

Where's my stand now, huh?

शिकायत तुमसे नहीं है कोई, कमज़ोर तो हम हैं, 
जो तुम्हारी कमजोरियों में अपनी कमजोरियों को छुपाए,
चुप्पी साधे बैठे हैं, के कोई बात नहीं है, 
देख लो, आज भी उतना ही रोए हैं, जितने से गुज़ारा चल जाए |

जानते हो उन भेड़ों के नसीब में आम तौर पर क्या लिखा होता है? या तो हलाल, वरना झटका |

"I am inertia. And the worst part is that I know every bit of it." Same Pinch!

We live with the pain of sacrificing our individual dreams for following the majority. However, not everyone will choose to struggle and blaze a different trail than to suffocate like that.

It's all about the will, isn't it? Another though-provoking post. :)

What a beautiful post packed with so much punch from so many literary bigwigs. It reminded me of Punjabi poet Shiv Kumar Batalvi, who compared life to slow suicide: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQjV827Utk4

Jyoti Mishra said...

very existence of human beings is because of change and its adaptation to changes... coz evolution is nothing but gradual change..
there are no handcuffs holding us... but the inertia that exists in our mentality is what that makes us averse change...
great post as ever :)

Truthful....It's sometimes difficult to come out of comfortable zone and do something what you actually want

Arpit said...

ekdum sahi post tha.. :\

Saru Singhal said...

To be different or to do something different is like challenging your existence in this mean world. Success or failure, but one thing is for sure, you will love yourself, atleast you had the guts to do something. Thought provoking!

Sometimes people don't follow their dream not because people around them didn't let them pursue their dream but because they thought that people might not let them... That's is the worst thing according to me...

Anything is better than regretting, what say?? :)

Suruchi said...

Hi, How did I miss this?
Yes, we want and we don't. We desire and we resist...so every time we move ahead a few steps, we take back even more.

Why is change scary?
And with me it comes in the smallest of decisions. I know I should break my comfort zone to break the monotony but the fear of tumbling into deeper dredges stops me....

Perhaps if we could eliminate the negativity we could fight the resistance to change!

Personally I hate change just as much as I loathe routine-yes, end is near! :(

It is difficult to resist peer and pere pressure when one is young. Besides, very few have an inkling what they really want to do. Charting one's own course is really difficult and yet, ultimately the only way. I think parents are only just beginning to understand and accept that.
