चाँद की किस्मत




As I dream for fastest trials of rape cases and strictest form of punishment for the rapists .



ग्रहण लगे चाँद को देखना
पता नहीं क्यों 
लोग मानते हैं एक अपशगुन
मुझे तो उसे देख
मुगले-आज़म की 
वो घूंघट लिए मधुबाला है याद आती 
मानों चाँद को ग्रहण लगाने आए
पर त्वरित कार्यवाही कर 
किसी ने फिर उसे
उसकी  चमक व गौरव लौटाया हो
बहुत घटना पड़ता है चाँद को
तब कहीं जाकर ईद हैै होती
पूनम के चाँद सी किस्मत
हर चाँद की नहीं होती

Beyond Recognition: Discovering Peace in One's Own Existence

Image
Reflections - 2 Retirement is often portrayed as a period of rest—a well-deserved pause after a lifetime of dedicated work. But for those whose professions were more than just jobs—for those whose identity was deeply interwoven with being a doctor, teacher, or caregiver—retirement is not simply about stepping back. It is about stepping inward. However, retirement is not a mourning. It is not the slow fading of relevance, nor a quiet grief over being no longer needed. Rather, it is a conscious act: the setting of limits, especially financial ones, followed by a deliberate transition toward self-discovery. It is the moment when we decide we have saved enough, done enough, and now it is time to be enough. In this stillness, reflection deepens. And it is often during this phase that many choose to write their will. This act, though legal in form, is deeply emotional and existential in impact. It is not merely a record of assets—it is a mirror. It forces us to ask: What have...

What Is Truth? A Doctor’s Reflection on Balance

 Reflections – 3 Truth is a powerful word. It’s something we all seek — in science, in relationships, in life. As a doctor, I rely on truth every day: test results, diagnoses, research, and facts that guide treatment. But beyond the clinic walls, I have often wondered — is truth always clear? Is it always the same for everyone? Or is the deepest truth not a fixed point, but something we discover through balance? This dilemma troubled me deeply and led me to read extensively... and then came a day that brought it all into focus. The Day I Met Two Truths I remember a particular day in my clinic — not so different from others, yet it has stayed with me for years. Two women came to me that morning. Both were pregnant, around the same age, and both were facing complications. But their stories could not have been more different. The first woman was deeply anxious. Her reports were normal — the baby was growing well, no medical signs of trouble — yet she was overwhelmed with fear. “I don’...
