Dhun :D

Zindegi Hoti Hain Sangeet Ke Jaise

Kavi Hain Yeh Manchala

Kavi Hain Yeh Khubsurat Reet Ke Jaise

Kavi Uthti Hain Dharkan Se Yeh

Machal Ke Uchal Ke Laheron Ke Jaise

Aur Kavi Tham Jati Hain Yeh

Sheet Ke Bistar Mein Simti Dhund Ki Tarha

Tum Toh Dhun Ho Meri Zindegi Ke

Tumhe Main Khushi Mein Gungunati Hoon

Tum Toh Chahat Ho Meri Bandegi Ke

Tumse Tanhai Mein Apni Fariyaad Sunati Hoon

Tumse Hi Ruth Ke Kuch Nazmein 

Inn Palkon Se Girte Hain

Aur Betaab-e-Dil Tumhari Talash Mein

Kuch Aah Vari Awaz Dil Se Chunti Hain

Lekin Har Lamha Zindegi Ke

Sirf Apna Nehi Hota

Kuch Saaz Kuch Awaz Dharkan Ko

Kuch Iss Tarha Se Chhu Jati Hain

Jaise Bahete Hue Iss Sur Ki Nadiya Ko

Kuch Gaheri Laheron Se Dol Jati Hain

Yeh Laheren Zindegi Ko 

Kuch Aur Rang Kuch Aur Tarang Se Sajati Hain

Tumhari Meri Aur Sabki Yeh Jo Zindegi Ki Lahar

Rab Ke Sagar Ki Bahon Mein Jaake Ghul Jati Hain

Tum Meri Aks Ho Aur Main Tumhari Aaina

Meri Tumhari Pehchan Ya Soch Kuch Alag Nehi

Meri Wajood Tumhari Dharkan Mein Maujud Hain

Aur Main Tumari Jism Ko Lipte Hue Woh Raag Hun

Jaise Har Pal Dhak Dhak Dhun Se Dharakti Hui Atma

Har Raat Tum Mujhse Milti Ho

Bansuri Ke Jaise Inn Hothon Pe Baajti Ho

Aur Din Bhaar Lahera Ke Balkha Ke

Meri Badan Pe Tum 

Roshni Ke Bahaw Mein Bahe Jati Ho

Jab Kudrat Panchiyon Ke Sur Mein Gati Hain

Jab Yeh Tabassum Ke Boondein

Unn Gulabon Ki Resham Si Badan Se Guzar Jati Hain

Yaad Dilati Hain Ailan Karti Hain

Hamari Jawan Mohabbat Ki Kahani

Tumhari Aur Meri Reshmi Nazkaqat Se Likhi

Uss Aag Aur Pani Ke Milan Ki Rubayee

Tumse Kuch Gila Nehi Hain Meri Jaan

Meri Apni Kuch Gile Siqwe Kuch Tanhai Ke Pal

Iss Safed Panno Pe Tut Ke Bikhar Jate Hain

Lekin Jab Bhi Milti Hain Mujhe Tumhari Sahara

Woh Hasin Muskan Se Vari Shayerana Si Sadah

Main Sambhal Jati Hoon Sawar Jati Hoon Aise

Jaise Sadiyon Se Chalti Rahun Main Aise Hi

Tumhari Pukar -e-Intezar Ki Dhun Aati Rahen Sada  

M-e-Z 

Happy Diwali My Fire !!! :D

Excellent Poetry , Excellent Creation !!! :D

Lagey  Rahooooooooooo Lioness !! :D

Muuuuuaaaahhhhhhh :O :D <3<3<3 .

Zarina

Tumhari Naam Zarina Hain

Maine Tumhe Kaal Dekha

Gaate Hue Ek Mehfil Mein

Aur Bhi Sare Log Tumhe Dekh Rahin Thi

In mein Mard, Aurat, Buzurg Aur Jawan Bhi The

Tum Ek Ghazal Ga Rahin Thi

Maine Yeh Ghazal Kai Bar Suni Hain

Lekin Tumhari Gale Ki Aawaz

Iss Gazal Ko Kuch Alag Sa Mayne De Rahin Thi

Kabhi Mihti Lagti Kabhi Udaas Lagti

Kavi Lag Rahin Thi Ke Tum Shayed 

Apne Aap Mein Moujud Nehi

Aur Kavi Unn Geheri Alfazon Se

Tumhari Sadiyon Pehchan Lag Rahin Thi

Tum Aaakhen Band Karke Ga Rahin Thi

Koi Bhi Hulchul, Koi Bhi Rok Tok Se

Tum Bilkul Bekhabar Aur BeRukhui Thi

Na Mehfil Ki WAH WAH 

Tumhe Joshilepaan Mein Dhaalti

Aur Na Unn Sab Naazrein Jo

Ghur Rahin Thi Tumhe, 

Taq Rahin Thi Tumhe,

Naap Rahin Thi Tumhe,

Tumhari Saaz Ki Jagah 

Tumhari Sajawat Ko Tarash Rahin Thi

Tum The Inn Sare Harqatyon Se Bekhabar

Jaise Tum Sare Imtehaan Se Guzar Ke

Sur Ke Laher Mein Koi Khoyee Hui

Suroor Ko Pakar Na Chahti Thi

Jakar Na Chahti Thi

Tum Rona Chahti Thi

Tum Larhna Chahti Thi

Phir Thak Har Ke Ussi

Suroor Ke Aagosh Mein Shona Chahti Thi

Lag Rahan Tha Ke Tum Jee Rahin Ho

Iss Dhun Ki Beparwah Bahaw Mein

Kabhi Khushi Ki Kabhi Ghum Ki

Raaz-e-Ankh Micholi Ki Dhup Chhawn Mein

Jaise Dhund Rahin Ho Khud Ko

Yah Kisi Ki Talash Mein Khud Ko Kho Rahin Ho

Jab Do Ek Boond Gire Tumhari Kajrare Akhon Se

Tab Laga Ke Shayed Kisi Banjar Zameen Pe

Tum Khushi Se Apni Khoon-e-Ashq Ke Beej

Suhane Mausam Yaad Mein Aur Phir Se

Unn Mahole-e-Rut Ki Aane Ki Chahat Mein

 Bahut Mohabbat Ke Saath Bou Rahin Ho

Jab Tumne Shuru Kiya Tha Woh Ghazal

Tab Meri Haath Mein Thi

Ek Sharab Se Vari Paymana

Uski Laal Rang Ki Badan 

Meri Hothon Ko Chhune Ke Liyeh

Taras Rahin Thi Uchal Rahin Thi Chalak Rahin Thi

Jab Tumhari Ghazal Khatam Hui Toh

Maine Mehsus Kiya Ke 

Main Nashe Mein Nehin Hoon

Meri Khali Jaam-e-Paymane Haath Mein Thi

Lekin Tumhari Unn Berang Ashq-e-Nazar

Mujhe Jaane Kya Pila Gayi

Ke Main Aab Taq Uss Aawaz Ki Khumari Mein Hoon

Dil Bhar Gaya Iss Qadar Ke

Jaise Koi Saab Kuch Hasil Karke Bhi

Dil -e-Betaabi Se Sab Kuch Luta Dena Chahe

Aisi Kisi Hasin Khowabon Ki Sawari Mein Hoon

Veg Fried Rice

Prep Time: Under 15 min

Cook Time: Under 15 min

Serves: 3 people

Yield: Makes around 4-6 servings depending on the additions made 

Ingredients

For the Basic Fried Rice
• 3 cups cooked rice, see Tips
• 1/4 cup minced Scallion (Green Onion), sliced thinly - green and white separated
• 1/4 cup Red Bell Pepper, see Tips
• 1/2 cup Green peas
• 1/4 cup Green Beans
• 1/4 cup Carrots
• 1/4 cup Cabbage
• 1/4 cup Celery
• 2 tbsp Soy Sauce (or Tamari), or to taste
• 1 tbsp Sesame Oil, see Tips
• 1 tbsp Garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp Ginger, peeled and minced, see Tips

Optional Additions
• 1 tsp Chilli sauce, or to taste
• 1/8 tsp Vinegar

Optional Protein Additions
• 1/2 cup Baked Tofu (or)
• 1/2 cup Fried Extra Firm Tofu (or)
• 2 Eggs, scrambled or hard boiled (or)
• 1/2 cup Soya Chunks (meal maker/TVP) (or)
• 1/2 cup fried cubed Tempeh (or)
• 1/2 cup crumbled Seitan (or)
• 1/2 cup Edamame

Tips

 
1. Rice: You can use 3-4 cups of rice for this recipe. If you do not have leftover rice, then you would have to a little bit of prep of cooking and cooling the rice. Preferably you want the rice to be a little separated, not as much as say a pulao recipe  and not a mushy rice either. See step 1 for details on how to cook the rice for this.
 
2. Bell pepper (Capsicum): You can use any color you like. I use the Red variety for their health benefits, superior to that of the green variety.
 
3. Sesame oil: I usually use a chilli + sesame oil mix for the spiciness. But you can use regular sesame oil and add chilli sauce additionally. You can also use the toasted sesame oil towards the end if you like. If sesame oil is not your thing, just add regular vegetable oil.
 
4. Ginger: Depending upon the quality and taste preference, you might need add more or less ginger (ditto for garlic) 

Method

 If the rice is freshly cooked, set aside to cool naturally (or refrigerate it for at least 3 hours uncovered or until completely dry and grains are easily separated). I use 1 cup raw rice that I cooked in 1-1/2 cups water with 1 tsp vegetable oil. I, at times, also add salt which is optional. Saute the rice in oil until translucent, stirring constantly for 2-3 minutes. Add water and salt if using. Bring it to boil, stir and then reduce the heat to low-medium. Cover and cook until liquid is absorbed - around 10-12 minutes. Cool as mentioned in the first line.

Heat a wok (or any skillet) in high heat. Make sure to keep all the ingredients already. Add the sesame oil, followed by scallion whites, ginger and garlic.

Stir for 5-6 seconds and the minute the aroma starts wafting, add rest of the vegetables.  Make sure nothing burns given that you are cooking in high heat. You want the vegetables to be cooked but still crunchy which is why it is important to chop the vegetables into small pieces (and also keep them uniform in size). Keep stirring. This whole things should take around 30-40 seconds.

If using edamame, thaw it at room temperature or soak in warm water to defrost and add it here. Same for Soy chunks (prep as per package directions and add it here). Seitan can also be added at this point. Rest of the additions, if using, can be added along with rice /or towards the end since they are already cooked. 

Next add the soy sauce (and/or toasted sesame oil + chilli sauce if using). Stir for the flavors to combine. Make sure you don't stir it too much 'cos that might make the rice mushy.

Combine well. If it looks dry, you can sprinkle some water. For it to look closer to restaurant style, you would need to add more oil.

Serve garnished with scallion greens. It tastes best when hot. Enjoy them with Gobi Manchurian, Baby Corn, Manchurian, Vegetable Manchurian or any other side dish of your choice.

Kaal Raat Tum Jab Nind Mein Thi

Toh Yeh Sare Kamal Pani Se Uth Ke

Tumhare Haath Ko Nazakat Ke 

Saath Chum Ke Aayi Hain

Woh Suraj Ko Dheko Maddham Maddham

Uski Halki Halki Khubsurat Lali

Tumhare Gaalyon Ko Apni Laabon Se Chhua Hain

Aur Jab Tumne  Sharma Ke Muskayi Toh

Yeh Suraj Ke Rang Tumhare Muskan Ke Jaise Hua Hain

Aur Yeh Raat Hain Jo Tanha Tanha

Uski Sahara Hain Ek Chand

Uss Chand Kirne Tumse Lipat Jate Hain

Tab Shayed Woh Raat Ko Apne Bahon Mein Leke

Lutati Hain Sukun Se Vari Ek Mahole-e-Thand

Phir Raah Pe Baheti Khamosh Nadiya

Usse Chahat Ki Nazar Se Pukar Ti Hain

Woh Dub Jate Hain Thande Pani Ke Aagosh Mein

Utar Ke Kaprein Pani Mein Lange Nahate Hain

Phir Pahen Ke Libas Phir Chalte Hain

Badan Ki Bhukh Kavi Niche Se Toh

Kavi Upar Se Usse Har Din Satate Hain

Kisi Shaakh Se Girti Hui Kaliyan Uss Ki

Pairon Tale Dabke Kuchal Jati Hain

Lekin Uss Kaali Ko Haath Pe Liyeh

Jab Woh Uss Ki Pankhuriya Ko Chumti Hain

Tab Veeni Veeni Khusbu Se Woh Kaliyan

Uss Bairagi Ke Dil Ko Bahelati Hain

Raat Ki Andhera Cha Jayee Toh

Gaheri Neeli Roshni Se Vari Hoti Hain Rahein

Door Door Tak Kuch Dikhai Nehi Dete

Hawayon Ke Sard Hatheli Chhu Jati Hain Tan Ko

Bass Uss Perr Ki Tarha Chup Raheke

Dekho Bairagi Iss Khel Ko

Jis Mein Tum Bhi Shamil Ho

Tum Bhi Hissa Ho Kudrat Ki Kan Kan Mein

Tum Judah Bhi Nehi Aur Tum Jurah Bhi Nehi

Bass Ek Kahani Ho Iss Duniya Ke Bishal Kitab Ki

Mujhe Hamesha Bhul Jate Ho

Kavi Toh Kholo

Apni Nazar Ki Khirki

                                                            Those Lovely Views from 
                                                            That Wonderful Window !!! :)

                                                                                    

Alex - The Almighty !! :)

                                                                                

The name Alexander automatically brings a picture of a Great War hero who is known to be the greatest military commander in the history of the world. During his 11 year journey of conquest he was able to conquer across various borders starting from Egypt to India. The intoxication of power took him to such an extent that winning became his passion and war the mode of conquest.  Let us understand the insight of the life of this great king. Alexander was born to King Phillip II and Olympias.

 Alexander was born on 20^th July 356 BC and died at a very young age of 32 in 323 BC. On the day he was born, the temple of Diana at Ephesus burned down raising speculations among the fortune tellers that the driving force responsible for the destruction of Asia has come into existence.

Alexander was known for the sweat smelling fragrance of his body. He was known for his blond hair, fair skin and Alexander’s eyes (one blue, one brown) revealed a dewy, feminine quality. This condition is called Heterochromia, an ocular condition in which one iris is a different color from the other iris.

 Alexander became the regent of Macedonia the age of 16 when his father King Phillip II had to leave the country to wage war and annex kingdoms.

Alexander enjoyed martial arts and hunting.  The name of his favorite horse was Bucephalus which he rode until he fell sick and died.

Alexander was tutored and greatly influenced by Aristotle.

Olympias, his mother managed to turn Alexander against his own father as the relation of Philip II and Olympias was estranged which led Philip marrying Cleopatra. King Philip Ii was murdered by Pausanias (an angry subject of Philip’s dynasty). So at the age of Twenty Alexander was declared the King of Macedonia.

It is believed that Alexander was related to the great Greek heroes like Hercules from his father’s side and Achilles from his mother’s side.

He founded the city of Alexandria located by the mouth of the river Nile in Egypt in 331 B.C.Alexander ‘undid’ the hitherto unsolvable Gordian knot, a feat said to await the future “king of Asia”. According to the most vivid story, Alexander proclaimed that it did not matter how the knot was undone, and he hacked it apart with his sword.

Alexander was known to be very generous. He distributed the earnings of the war among his soldiers and their families and his subjects. The only thing he kept for himself was “His Hope”.General Haphaestion was the best friend of Alexander and the second in command.
 Alexander used to recruit the police force from his local people.

At present, Alexandria, with a population of 4.1 million, is the second-largest city in Egypt, and is the country's largest seaport, serving about 80% of Egypt's imports and exports. Alexandria is also an important tourist resort.

The best thing that describes him is that when people used to speak about the existence of numerous worlds, he used to get upset and weep. When enquired he used to say, “There are so many worlds and I haven’t conquered even one”

 

Alexander The King of "Hope", Somebody Describe Him As a Great Conqueror, Somebody Describe His as a Cruel Barbaric Killer, But This Lad Has Created a Bridge of  Unique Unification of Asia & Europe , Which Has flourished the Culture of Two Continent & Brings the Prosperity in Business . My Historic Hero of All Time :D, Love you Alex <3<3<3, There Has a Similarity Between Us WE SHARE THE SAME BIRTH STAR ********* Hahahahaha ;) :D.
