How does it feels like living in Edinburgh, Scotland!
Though it is too early to say anything about the capital of Scotland as I just moved here on Jan 2019.
Places to Visit:
Edinburgh Castle: Definitely worth visiting, I would like you to suggest you go to prince garden first and from there you can follow the walkway to the Castle, in between you will get a lot of photo opportunity.
But I can not wait to express my view on the city -
Looks like a huge Palace
The entire city looks like a huge palace with lots of castles, you will easily find so many staircases in the city which leads to another place, sometimes it gives a feeling of multistory infrastructure.
People
I found the people here so warm and welcoming that you start a conversation from anyone, literally
Art
People seems like a great fan of art here. you will find a lot of theatre, cultural event venue inside the city, Also there is a cinema hall called Filmhouse which shows all the award winner old movies.

Is Instagram really so important?
Since when Facebook acquired Instagram, it became an important tool to show your work and later people started using this as a marketing tool and the follower counts in Insta became the parameter of people's success.

I am publishing this incomplete article but I am definitely going to write more...

Baarishen
ये बारिशें जब भी गिरती हैं काँच की दीवारों पे ,
हज़ारों ख़्वाब लिख जातीं हैं आडी तिरछी लकीरों में...
और फिर काँच के इस पार सब धुँधला सा होने लगता है,
ना जाने क्यों उसे मिटाने को जी नहीं करता,
मानो कई जज़्बातों का एक गुच्छा सा ठहर गया हो...
अक्सर सोचता हूँ, क्या ये अल्प-पारदर्शिता सच में इतनी खूबसूरत है ?
शायद हाँ या शायद हाँ !!!

अन्तर्द्वन्द : A War for Peace
और मैं भटकते भटकते यहाँ आ पहुँचा,
जैसे हम सब भटकते हैं बेहतर ज़िन्दगी की तलाश में...
गुलज़ार जी कहते हैं "हाँ तलाश ही तो ज़िन्दगी है"
पर खुद की खोज अब भी ज़ारी है,
अक्सर सारी उमर निकलते देखी है मैंने और पता भी नहीं होता कि हम क्या तलाश रहें हैं
रुह में लिपटी मिटटी, हर दिन झाड़ते थोड़ा थोड़ा है,
अक्सर सोचता हूँ की एक अरसे के बाद जब रुह नंगी होने वाली होगी,
तो क्या ऐसा बात होगी जिसपे मैं पछतावा करूँगा या क्या ऐसी बात होगी जिस पर मैं अभिमान करूँगा।
दादा जी के आख़िरी दिनों में मुझे इस बात का अनुभव हुआ था।
सोचता हूँ अक्सर ये भी कि इन सब पचड़े में ना पड़ते हुए,बहने देता हु खुद को जीवन धारा के साथ
अगले हि पल यूँ हि फिर अचानक से मचल जाता हूँ और खुद से झगड़ा करने लगता हूँ....
झगड़ा क्या ही कहें इसे, ये तो द्वन्द है द्वन्द...
मैं कहता हूँ आ गयी मंजिल ठहर जा
वो कहता है, नहीं थोड़ा और चलते हैं , अगली मंजिल बेहतर होगी।
मैं कहता हूँ थक गया हू, अब जीने दो मुझे
तो क्या ऐसा बात होगी जिसपे मैं पछतावा करूँगा या क्या ऐसी बात होगी जिस पर मैं अभिमान करूँगा।

मैं कहता हूँ आ गयी मंजिल ठहर जा
वो कहता है, नहीं थोड़ा और चलते हैं , अगली मंजिल बेहतर होगी।
मैं कहता हूँ थक गया हू, अब जीने दो मुझे
फिर वो कहता है, सफर ही तो ज़िन्दगी है , ठहर गया तो थक जायेगा
फिर मेरे मन में एक अजीब सा डर पनपता है
और मैं कहता हूँ,
लेक़िन मैं तो हमेशा से ठहराव चाहता था, क्या ठहराव मिथ्या है ???
सफर में रहा तो सब अपने छूटते रहेगे, नए अपने, अपने जैसे कहाँ होते हैं, अगर हुए भी तो....
वो कहता है ये सब सोचना ओवेरथीनकिंग हैं,
फिर मैं कहता हूँ इग्नोरैंट होना क्या बहुत अच्छी बात है !
वो फिर जवाब देता है, "ignorance is a bliss "
फिर मैं पूँछता हूँ क्यों बुद्धा को पूजते हो फिर ?
लंबी ख़ामोशी के बाद....
वो कहता है खुद से शास्त्राथ करना बेवकूफी है
मैं कहता हूं मैं आज भी शांति का मोहताज़ हूँ, मुझे लड़ना होगा।
वो कहता है जीत भी गए तो तुम ही हारोगे
मैं कहता हूँ हारा भी तो क्या, मैं हि जीतूंगा
फिर वो कहता हैं परिवर्तन संसार का नियम है, तुम्हे इसे अपनाना होगा
मैं कहता हूं फिर मुझे संसार के और भी नियम जानने हैं...
बहुत वक़्त से अब दूसरी तरफ से जवाब नहीं आया....
और मैं ........
उम्मीद-ए-ठहराव लिए अक्सर सफर में रहता हूँ
अब न सफर ख़तम होता है और ना उम्मीद।।।

Bhranti...
अक्सर मैं समय के परे जाकर, सच कर लेना चाहता हूँ अपने उन दिवास्वप्नो को,
परन्तु इस भ्रान्तिमय संसार में, क्यों सिमट कर रह जाता हूँ और फिर से चलने लगता हूँ भेड़चाल में...
प्रायः ये ख्याल मुझे अवसाद की तरफ ले जाता है, फिर से सही और गलत का संघर्ष होता है, फिर से मस्तिस्क में हज़ारों ताने बाने चलते हैं और मांगता हूँ जवाब...
मैं चाहता हूँ सलिल सा सरल और निर्मल, पर हमेशा पाता हूँ जटिल और भ्रान्तिमय !
फिर सोचता हूँ ये अगर सरल होता तो सबको पता होता, जटिल है तभी तो हम सब भटकते हैं !
फिर सोचता हूँ ये अगर सरल होता तो सबको पता होता, जटिल है तभी तो हम सब भटकते हैं !
क्या मेरी नियति में भी उन असंख्य प्राणियों की तरह भटकना लिखा है, अगर ऐसा है भी तो क्या मैं अपनी नियति को बदल नहीं सकता ?
ये उधेड़बुन आज यकायक उत्पन्न नहीं हुई है, अगर हुई होती तो कब की विलुप्त हो गयी होती! यूँ कलम का सहारा ना ले रहा होता इसे उगलने को, ये तो शायद तब से है जबसे मैं इस नश्वर संसार से वाकिफ हुआ हूँ।
देखता हूँ हमेशा एक झीनी सी श्वेत चादर, और लगता है चादर के उस पार सब शांत और सरल है,
फिर अनायास ही हटाना शुरू कर देता हूँ, उन चादरों को....
एक के बाद एक , एक के बाद एक.... अनन्त, अब तक मैं उस पार पहुंच नहीं पाया।
सोचता हूँ क्या इस अल्पपरदर्शिता ने ही मुझे ज़िंदा रखा हुआ है?
क्या उस पार कुछ भी नहीं है?
क्या ये सब मेरे मन का वहम है?
प्रायः प्रातःकाल के सपनो की भांति , कुछ स्पष्ट नहीं होता और फिर जीवनसरिता के साथ बहने लगता हूँ। ...

Kuhasa - The fog
Aur fir oas barasane lagi...
Kabhi madham to kabhi tej
Kabhi kaanch ko dhundhlati hui, to kabhi patto pe ithlati hui...
Kankanpati, kiskisati thand ke sath milkar anokhe adwitiya prayog krne me lagi hui thi ...
Adna sa mai office ke ek kone me baithe saamne pade pardo ki daracho se anayas hi sab dekh raha tha...
Reh reh kar zehen me us oas ko apni muthhi me kas lene ki icchha jeevant ho rahi thi...
Soch raha tha kitni nithur aur kitni apardarshi hai ye chhoti chhoti bunde...
Fir bhi inki swacchand aur shwet vichardhara baar baar mujhe apni taraf akarshit kiye ja rahi thi...
Mai yaha baitha baitha, vaha pahuch hi gaya tha,
us ghane kohre me kho jaane, thanth me kankanpate hue pedo se milne,
patto pe padi oas ki boodo ko peene,
kohre ko cheer cheer kar sooraj ki kuchh kirano ko talaashne...
Aisa lag raha tha mano mai aur prakrati ab ek ho rahe hain,
nashwar sharir ka abhas ekdm samapt ho chala tha,
maano yehi to hai jiski talash me mai varsho se bhatak raha tha...
Adbhud, alaukik, apratim si anubhitiyan ho rahi thi...
Gravity kahi door padi karah rahi thi, aur kitkat n lollipop mithya ho chuke the...
Prabhat, usha aur sandhya ka andaja lagana mushkil ho raha tha,
Khitij, asmaan aur zameen sab apni paridhi aur seema laanghkar ek ho chuke the...
Sab kuchh shant tha, ekdm sannata, shunya me roshni aur andhere me fark karna mushkil ho raha tha aur ....
Vigyan aur takneeki se pare, pariyo ki kahaniyo ki bhanti, mai kalpana ki udan me kulache maare ja raha tha ki ...
Tabhi ek ajeeb si awaz ne mujhe jhakjhora "Vivek, delivery taiyar hai na"...
Aur mai apni anandmayi kalpana se bahar nikalkar, vapas se us ayatakar yantra ke saamne sar peetne laga !

From the window of an IT professional
In my little journey in professional life what I have seen:
Most of the people in India work for money only, they don't care even whether they like their work or not. A very few think about their work/job in this perspective.
I have seen people who don't even know about their hobbies and passion. In that case they are bound to work whatever they get in the way but in case when someone know about his/her passion and still forced to work in some other field, is awful.
most of the IT engineers face the same situation. because in India almost 99% or more parents want to their children to be an engineer or doctor, but being a doctor may be a very costly affair in terms of study or money, that might not be affordable to the students or parents, so most of the parents choose the safer side for their child, that is to be an engineer.
Doing B.tech is enjoyable although study required. but when one join an MNC with very high hopes,and it becomes like i.e. khoda pahad nikli chuhiya (A famous saying in Hindi).
Apart from this there is one million dollar question, how many get a job in MNC after so much of efforts, I think that must be 1 perc or less than that. but one good thing is about non MNC employees is that they have some hope at least that they will feel satisfied when they will work for an MNC.
Sometimes people try to get out from this IT industry and try to do what they have wished to achieve in life but its a very hard decision to take such kind of stand, family never support and money is also a major issue.
Although Its always good to convert your passion into profession, because the achieved satisfaction level will be too high but at the same time risk factor is also very high. like that We become use to see the fight between risk factor and satisfaction level.
Finally we find its too late to take a stand so we keep doing work for money and saving for honey .
P.S. This article
is solely based on what I feel and perceive from the little window of my life .

Writing : A way to get happiness
Writing is not just a hobby but its a way to get happiness.
It gives a different kind of freedom in life, its like you are in the middle of sky and earth and you can rotate 360 degree with any speed and any acceleration.
In my life, love for writing got developed in the days when I use to read short stories of Nandan n Champak, after some age I got interest in reading Premchand's stories.
I believe everyone had read something interesting which gave him/her a pleasure of. Its like when you read a novel you get a pleasure of imagination, when you read something motivational, you get pleasure to feel the hope and many readings gives us a peace of mind,
So just imagine when reading gives so much of pleasure then writing will give definitely more. when we write something it provokes many kind of ideas and thought in our mind and gives a correct direction to our chain of thoughts ...
Writing releases stress created in our day to day life.
I believe everyone must practice of writing irrespective of age, gender and profession.
when you write only flow should matter, do not bother about language, grammar and spelling. Just write for yourself then its up to you whether you wanna show your notes to world or just wanna keep it to you.
When you are extremely happy or extremely sad, you will write much better then your normal days
so just pen down whatever in your mind and feel free from all the mess.

Vismaran !
Rakhu kahan, sambhalun kaise,
Koi sandook ya kisi deewan me sama jaayein,
Itni chhoti to kabhi nahi rahin ...
Aur us pe bhi
Waqt dar waqt inka badhta hua qad,
Aur pata bhi nahi kya hai inki hadd...
Socha kai baar ab inse chhutkara pa leta hu
Prayas krta hu aur door kahin kho aata hu...
Ek raat unhe andhere me kho aaya tha,
Hui subah to jharokhe pe khada paya fir...
Bistar ke neeche bhi tha chhupaya,
Raat ke teesre peher me hi sirhane pada paya...
Tej raftaar chalti train se raste me hi fenk aaya tha,
Fir se kuchh hi dino baad unhe dehleej pe rengte hue paya...
December ki kadkadati thand me thithurte hue chhod aya tha,
Agli sham hi to sigdi me hath sekte paya ...
Laal aag ki lapto me bhi tha jalaya,
Aayi musladhar barsaat to tej dhar me baha aaya tha,
Sardiyo ke sheele kapkapaate kohre me bhi ghumaya,
Aayi thi garmiya to may ki tapti dopahari dhoop me rakh aaya tha ...
Ghane jungle me le jakar, rasta bhula aaya tha,
Ayi holi to kaale rang se leep pot aya tha,
Ayi diwali to rocket ke sath bhi udaya...
Tanhai se uthakar dhol nagadon ke shor me bhula aaya tha,
Sote hue sapne ke andar sapne ki teesri teh me chhupa aaya tha,
Aur sab koshishein bhi to bekar rahi thi unhe dafnaane ki ...
----------------------------------xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx-------------------------------
Aaj fir se ki koshish unhe mitane ki,
Apni bebaak hansi se unhe dabaane ki ...
Jaane kaisa fir dard utha,
Jaise dil me koi teer chubha...
Ab to kosis bhi nahi kr pata unhe mitane ki,
Rakh ke sirhaane unhe ajkal so jata hu,
Kabhi haste haste yunhi ro jata hu...
Kabhi takiye to kabhi chadar se lipat jata hu,
Fir se waqt ke us haseen safar me kho jata hu ...
Ab to bas paa hi liya jo bhi mujhe pana tha,
Inhe mitane ka prayas to bas bahana tha ...
Ab na hum aur milege,inko badhane ke liye,
Jitni hain utne me ek zindagi jee jaaunva,
Ab unhe sath hi rakhunga na mitaunga ...
karunga hifazat, andhi tufan bhi ayege to,
Leke inhe kisi chattan se chhup jaaunga,
Ab kuch bhi ho,unko na kabhi mitaunga,
Jab tak mai jiunga unko bhi jilaunga,
Aur mar bhi gaya to apne sath leke jaaunga....
Teri Yaadein, haan Teri Beshumaar Yaadein !!!.........
