Hindi Love Poem : Aksar socha karte hai

रातो को  तन्हाई में, अक्सर सोचा करते हैं

क्या खास है पाया तुम में, तुम पर क्यों हम मरते हैं?

सवाल ये हमने किया खुद से जब, एक बार न सों बार किया

जवाब कभी न आया जुदा  सा, हर बार एक इज़हार किया

तुम को पाकर हम हुए धनवान, तुमको खो कर हुए गरीब

कोशिश बहुत की हमने, पर बदल  न पाए अपने नसीब

फिर भी दिल में एक आस है, तेरे पास होने का एहसास है

दूर तू नजरो से हो मगर, दिल के हर दम पास है

आजा अब लौट के आजा, तेरे बिना मन उदास है

जल्दी  आजा, दौड़  के आजा, ना जाने कब तक इन साँसों में सांस है

Funny Romantic One Liners For Her and Him

Funny Romantic One Liners

Thanks so much for an amazing response to my earlier post on funny romantic one liners . Here are some more I have just thought about :

Funny romantic one liners for her

  • You are as sweet as sugar and I am scared I dont die of diabetes baby!
  • I love your hairstyle, some on left, some on right and others straight : I dont understand much but you look stunning sweetheart!
  • I love your teeth. Your teeth shine brightly on your face just like a streak of light in dark clouds.
  • I love you so much baby. Your voice is so intoxicating that it puts me to sleep when I call you at night! 😉
  • We both are made for each other. I have short eyesight and you have long. I cant see far away objects and you cant see near ones.. I keep on locking the doors and you keep unlocking them.. I keep breaking the rules and you keep making them..
  • I got scared when I first saw you in the morning! It was the first time I had seen you without any make up..
  • Your hairs are like an express way.. I get confused and lost on my way through them..
  • I owe my great biceps and tricepts to your darling. I lifted you every day and night.

Funny romantic one liners for him

  • I promise to hug you everyday but then I want you to use a deo everyday.
  • I love your moustaches but your beard pricks me dear
  • I love kissing you but your moustaches come in between
  • I love your spikes.. seems like a feshly cut green grass
  • I love your biceps and triceps.. hats off to your exercise schedule.. but you need to prove yourself. Lift me to 5th floor now!!!
  • I love your sparkling smile, which brand of toothpaste do your use?
  • Why do your hair stand straight? Are you using a gel??
  • I fell in love with you the moment I saw you wearing the best brand of shoes. Afterall you need a lot of money to buy such a brand and Iam sure you will buy me a ladies pair soon..

Check out my earlier post here

Save Tiger- Our national animal

SAVE TIGER Tiger – the word reminds me of an image of an animal , loud sound.. scary teeth.. an animal hunting food.. running after a deer or some poor herbivore and it can even be a human being.. 😦 But then tiger is also symbolic of strength/bravery/courage .. remember the advertisement of Lipton tea??

When I thought about writing this blog post, I thought I would do research on numbers n then publish a scientific report bt later I thought, why not something different, some common sense and some thoughts which are beyond numbers..

We have suddenly.. nah .. from last few decades realized that we need to save our wildlife.. You know why we are so much concerned?? Yes one of the most obvious reasons is that animals are disappearing from our earth.. and we dont want them extinct. Let me tell you recent animals which went extinct recently .. yeah I am not talking about Dinosaurs here.. See the list:

Animals that have gone extinct in 21st Century

  • Baiji Dolphin : Since 2006
  • West African Black Rhino : May be 2006
  • The Golden Toad : 2007
  • Craugastor escoces : 2007
  • Holdridge’s Toad : 2007
  • Spix’s Macaw : 2004
  • Po’o’uli (Black faced honey creeper) : 2004
  • Kama’o : 2004
  • Hawaiian Crow: 2004
  • Pyrenean Ibex : 2000

I am not planning to list
those animals which diappeared earlier than 2000, bt I guess the list of animals we lost from wild in last 10 years is itself an eye opener.

Whats more let me give you some animals which may go extinct in next 10 years if not protected :

  • Iberian lynx – Cat species
  • Pongo abelii – Orangutan
  • Lasiorhinus krefftii : Northern Hairy-Nosed Wombat
  • Camelus bactrianus : Wild Bactrian Camel
  • Gazella dama : Antelope species
  • Coleura seychellensis : Seychelles Sheath-Tailed Bat
  • Alligator sinensis
  • Diceros bicornis : Black Rhinoceros
  • Saguinus bicolor : Bare faced Tamarin
  • Dermochelys coriacea : Leatherback Turtle

Yes now coming back to the issue : Save Tiger. But why?

  • National Heritage : We dont want to see this treasure disappear. We want our kids to see tigers.
  • Ecological Balance : Yes again a scientific term but I guess most people do understand the term. Still how I look at it. A tiger eats a deer (in a jungle, the case in zoo is different where tiger gets ready made food) , a deer eats grass (it is a herbivore) . Now if tigers disappear, (they have already dwindled in numbers )and suppose deer population is heathy( which is not, I guess deer numbers are not very encouraging too) then deer will eat all grass. Deer will keep on growing and grass will disappear. Now if u say Lions will come and eat deer , then that is a different story. I took a simple example.. but it is much more complicated- there are so many carnivores – lion/tiger/cheetah ( already extinct from India).. so many herbivores – deer, cow, rabbit.. so God made a balance. And what we did is – hunting deer, hunting tigers.. spoiling the balance and off course natural treasure.. The point is if humans want to live longer, other ainmals must be protected.
  • Save the tiger – save earth- save our ecosystem. Keep the treasure for future generations.. Else these fascinationg animals will only be confined to story books/ photographs/museums and if lucky then in zoological gardens.

Now the point is how to save the tiger???

Wear a T shirt saying save the tiger?? How will it help??

Not directly, but yes it will spread the word.

Let us look at scientific / bio engineering techniques to save animals :

  • Captive breeding : Get them to reproduce . More kids more population.. more numbers
  • Can cloning and other restructuring techniques help us? Can we go back and get extinct animals .. nah not a real jurassic park .. bt ya some beautiful creatures which we once saw and want to see again.. off course not causing threat to our own existance

Let us make a focussed effort in saving the tiger and many other animals facing the same danger – the danger of getting lost forever.

Tujhe paane ki tamanna- Love Poem

तुझे पाने की तमन्ना कल भी थी

तुझे पाने की आरज़ू आज भी है

ज़माने की परवाह कल भी न थी

ज़माने का डर आज भी न है

तुझसे मिल के भी न मिल सकी मैं

इस ग़म का दिल में ज़ख्म है बन गया

जो मैं मर भी जाऊ अगर

खुदाया तुझे न भूल पाउ मैं

खुश रहे तू जहा भी रहे

मिल जाये तुझको हर ख़ुशी

तेरे साथ न रह सके तो क्या गिला

ख़ुशी इसी में है कि हम मिले थे कभी

(लेखिका : अनुष्का सूरी )

Tu dil mein rehta hai – love poem

तू दिल में रहता है

आँखों में पानी सा बहता है

कानो में घुंगरू सा बजता है

नींद में सपने सा लगता है

रेगिस्तान में प्यास सा

दुःख में आस सा

दिल में दर्द बनके रहता है

बातों में मिठास बनके कहता है

दिल तुझे रोज़ ढूंडा करता है

दिल तुझे रोज़ माँगा करता है

काश मुझे मिल जाता तू कभी

ये सिसक अज भी है मन में

क्या तू मेरा हो पायेगा कभी

ये आशा अज भी है मन में

यु तो तुझसे बात हम नहीं किया करते

पर तुझे नहीं पता कितना यद् तुझे करते है

कभी हमारा एक होना हो पाए जो मुमकिन

तो हमको आके  बताना बेझिझक

तेरी राह में हम तब भी

शायद आंसू बहाया करते होंगे

When you are in love- Love Poem

When you are in love – Love Poem

When you are in love, world seems round

You want him close, you want him around

When you are in love, you see her everywhere

Even the biggest  problems dont make you scare

When you are in love, all seems perfect

Nothing makes you tense, nothing causes you deject

When you are in love, you want to go in the rain

You smile all day and you can smile in the pain

When you are in love, you have a dearest wish

The wish is that may your love never vanish

You want her in your arms, you want her in your dreams

You feel your love, even when the whole world screams

Be thankful to God that you fell in love

For not many people are lucky to find true love
