विडम्बना !!

अजब मंजर है, देख दुनिया बनाने वाले
तेरे दर पे खड़ा हूँ, मैँ और मुझको सताने वाले !

किस से उम्मीद लगाए, अब नदिया पार लगने वाले
खुद ही डूब रहे, जब कश्तियाँ बनाने वाले !!

किस तरफ जाएं, वो मुसाफिर कहलाने वाले
राह खो बैठे है , सब राह दिखने वाले !!

अलफ़ाज़ न दे ज़ख्मों को , ऐ ग़ज़ल सुनाने वाले
जख्म-कारी करते है, सब ज़माने वाले !!

Bidholi : Village or Planet ?

The sound of the raindrops suddenly became louder when I came into my consciousness. Sitting at my balcony and listening to Coldplay while witnessing the layers of Blue hills, and the descending clouds leaving behind the white blanket in the sky was living a dream. I would sit on the railing waiting for the sun to come down and meet the Horizon with golden hue all over the sky. It was gods Painting and Bidholi happened to its Canvas.!! This is planet Bidholi. Nested on the foothills of Lower Shivalik range in Dehradun-Mussorrie Valley, this place never disappointed me. Situated at the altitude of about 950 meters above sea level, this place offers you an uninterrupted view of shivalik range towards south east. The layers of Blue hills beyond the horizon and absolutely gorgeous view of valley delight your eyes. Brooks making sound out of stones, sun and clouds making terrific artwork on the sky, tinystars twinkling on dark canvas of the sky. Monsoon clouds touching m...

सेहरा में खोयी थी धरती प्यासी रोई थी कोहराम ये हरगाम हुआ माँ तेरा क्या अंजाम हुआ ? लपट चली थी सरपट सरपट प्यास भुझि न पनघट पनघट आँचल तेरा बेजान हुआ माँ तेरा क्या अंजाम हुआ ? व्यथित हुआ है जीवन सारा निज मंथन में पथिक भी हरा सावन क्यों अंजान हुआ माँ ऐसा क्या संग्राम हुआ ??

Chopta Tungnath Chandrashilla - Gateway to the Photographer's heaven.!

WOW ! I would like to make my house here!   That was the first thing I whispered having reached the summit.  I sat there on the edge of the cliff in peace, mesmerized by the beauty. For couple of minutes I froze myself to stare at the unending layers of blue hills. I was High, High by 4000M. I looked as as far as i could with my eyes wide open and tried to grasp as much of the landscape as i could without blinking.  Its 2 year since then, still feels like yesterday. In these 2 years I have visited this place thrice, witnessing a different picture each time.  I have seen this place transforming from a snow beauty to green Meadow. I have seen a clear blue sky showering snow and ice balls and Milky Way dancing over mountains, after moon set.  The moon set as seen from the peak of the chandrashilla truly signifies its name. Out of all, standing at an elevation of 3600 m on a cliff and experiencing the drift of wind mixed with snowflake...
