गूँज
दो अजनबी खड़ें हैं,
एक शमा की जाल में
धीरे - धीरे घुल रहें हैं,
टूटे बिखरे कांच पे
हलके से आगे बढ रहें हैं ।
उस शमा की आंच से,
ज़रा ज़रा सा लड़ रहें हैं ।
प्यालों की गूँज में जो ये
धीमे से बातें हो रहीं हैं,
साकी पहचाना, जान कर,
नई शुरुआतें हो रहीं हैं ।
दो अजनबी रात भर यूहीं,
खोते गए भूली बातों में,
राहें कभी मिली नहीं,
अब मिलतें हैं अक्सर खवाबों में ।

खामोशी
मैं और मेरी खामोशी,
काफी पुराने दोस्त हैं,
आम सी दोस्ती है
मिलतें हैं, झगड़तें हैं,
कभी कभी हिचकिचाकर,
चुपके से बातें करतें हैं,
कभी चिल्लाकर,
रातों में गुस्सा करतें हैं,
कभी संग यूं उड़ते हैं,
कि भीड़ों से उभर जाएं,
कभी ऐसे बिखरतें हैं,
जानी गलियों में भटक जाएं ।
पर साथ हो जब आपका,
वो मुझसे कुछ खफा रहती थी।
हर बार इसी मोड़ पर,
मुझसे वो अलविदा कहती थी।
आज इसी मोड़ पर,
अजूबी सी बात हुई,
आखिर डर-डर कर,
आप दोनों की मुलाकात हुई,
अब कभी कभी हमारे बीच,
ख़ामोशी आकर रहती है ।
लम्बे दिनों की लम्बी शामों में ,
लम्बे दिनों की लम्बी शामों में ,
हमें चुप्पी की चादर से ढकती है ।

गर्मी
इस साल गर्मी कुछ ज्यादा है,
घर में रहने का इरादा है,
ठंडी हवाएं, पुरानी किताबें,
इनसे भी ख़ुशी कोई ज्यादा है?
अब निकलेंगे बारिश में,
कुछ नमी की ख्वाहिश में,
तब तक काली स्याही से,
शब्दों को रंगने का इरादा है,
इस साल गर्मी कुछ ज्यादा है ।
बंद दरवाजें हैं तो आहटें नहीं हैं ।
भूली हुई चाहतें नहीं हैं ।
इस बार अकेले रहने का वादा है,
इस साल गर्मी कुछ ज्यादा है ।

Noor
Another short film by Kya Baat Hai Productions. This one is is delightfully light and real (or at least as real as the subject can be) where it could have been over the top. Also, look out for the soundtrack!

Best Android Smartphones in India in the price range of above 25,000 INR

Best Android Smartphones in India in the price range 15,000 to 25,000 INR
[Part of a guide to buying Android phones] This is the category of phones that fall just below the premium high end phones. Most of the phones here belonged to the high end perhaps a year back, but have been pushed down by the release of newer and better phones. I chose this range instead of segmenting it into two ranges about 20,000 INR because the phones in this range are quite similar and most people looking for phones in this category tend to have more flexible budgets. So here are the phones:

Best Android Smartphones in India in the price range 10,000 to 15,000 INR

Best Android Smartphones in India in the price range 5,000 to 10,000 INR
[Part of a guide to buying Android phones] This is the entry level for good android phones. Although there are cheaper Android phones available, such as Spice Mi-270 (₨ 3,465 on flipkart.com) or Micromax Andro A-60 (₨ 4,400 on flipkart.com), they run older versions of Android and do not have the hardware for a good enough user experience for a smartphone. If you decide to skip these even cheaper options, then here is the list for the best low end Android phones:

A Guide to Buying Android phones - The Best in India (March 2012)
More and more people are opting for Smartphones these days and so I thought that it would be helpful to those planning to get their hands on a new smartphone to have a list of the best (according to me!) smartphones available in India. Android seems to be the choice of most people, looking at the market share, so I am starting off with a list of android phones. Choosing the perfect Android can be quite trying, mainly because, unlike Blackberries and iPhone, there are lot of options even within a certain price range leading to confusion amongst buyers. Hopefully, this will help!
Read on after the break to find out about the best Android phones available in India these days.

Faster than Light!
Neutrinos. These tiny particles have created quite a ripple in the Physics community of late with reports of them traveling faster than light. The speed of light is held to be the maximum possible speed attainable and hence anything travelling faster than light is bound to create a stir.

मुलाकात
अन्सोई रातों से,
अनकही बातों से,
उलझे बालों से,
गीले गालों से,
जाने कितने सालों से,
अकेले बैठें हैं,
गुमसुम यूं ऐठें हैं,
कबसे थमी नज़र,
पर न कोई खबर.
भीगे से ख़त से,
सूनी सी छत से,
दबी सी आशा हैं ,
नैनों की भाषा हैं ,
कबसे तलाशा हैं..
तुम यूं न खोते तो,
तन्हा न होते तो,
सावन बरसता,
दिन फिर सँवरता,
चंदा निखरता .|
