Already dusk The attempts at unveiling the emotions go in vain Soon the moonlight will descend on the ocean of love The nymph of my desires, then, will tread through the woods seeking the unsought, hearing the unheard and feeling satiated over some assurance never given ---Jimmy Sharma

It's the moment of pride for me to share the views of a sensitive and a shining student of B.A. Eng. Hons. (First Sem) Shruti Sharma: Why? Why you look at me like that, Is that your business whether i am slim or fat. Don't you feel bad when your taunts makes my tears roll down, ah! I cannot see any safe eye in this whole town.    Is that mine scarf or sleeve, that make your soul so creep. Nobody can understand, my pain is really deep.  A  six month old or young lady, you are not at all prejudice . All that you want is to suck her blood like a lice. 

You know who is the most talkative person? The one who is afraid of his or her loneliness The one who puts masks The one who is always considered a "bindaas"/"bore" The one who lives so many roles The one who undergoes thousands of emotions but cannot express about even one of the personal musings --JSharma

Bruises Beyond Body All credence is given to their bodies. But no empathy for their bruises, scars and bites. Such wounds take place somewhere else also— deep inside their minds and souls— but remain unnoticed. Calling them mere prostitutes is like declaring an etherized patient as dead with no emotions, no expressions. Just a body is seen and penetrated — like an experiment, like a toy. Had these fellow beings be given a genuine look, deep penetration of sentiments; a new world would have emerged for them with the shining sun and the gentle breeze. --Jimmy Sharma

Bhartiya Darshan Shastra/ Indian Philosophy has many theories and doctrines to answer the problems of human life but sadly we are so engrossed in technological advancements that we ignore reading the richly traditions of ancient Indian philosophy. While dealing with the issue of stress/depression/ sorrows, my mentor, Prof. B.K.Kuthiala ji suggested me to look for a Buddhist doctrine of Dependent Origination. As an obedient pupil, I googled and searched youtube to know the detail of the principle. Let us look more closely at the doctrine of "PRATEETYASMUTPAAD". As it is clear in the picture the word is a combination of two words DEPENDING and ORIGINATION. in Hindi it is explained: "ek par aashrit hokar doosrey ki utpati." Dependence on a reason leads to the ORIGINATION of some effect. Everything has a reason in the scheme of things. Lord Buddha analysed the reasons of sorrows in human life and came up with this doctrine. THERE IS NO POSSIBILITY OF EFFECT WITHOUT

तुमने कह तो दिया अब ये दौर और नही तुम बस इतना तो कर जाओ अब कि मिटा जाओ मेरे ज़हन से गुज़रे दौर की छवि वो जो खुशबू बसी है मन में तुम्हारी सादगी की वो जो रौनक जुड़ी है तुमसे मेरे संसार की  वो जो घुलें हैं रंग तुम्हारे एहसास से वो घड़ियां जो संग बिताई और वो जो इंतज़ार में बिताई वो जब सावन आया तुम साथ थीं और हाँ वो इंतज़ार का मौसम भी वो बारिश में साथ चलते चलते मेरी धड़कन का रुक रुक के चलना तुम साथ हो तो इतरा के मेरे दिल का मचलना  मेरी हर बात में तुम्हारा ज़िक्र है तुम तो शामिल हो मेरे दिन रात में मेरे हर काम में  मै जब लैपटाप खोलता हूँ मेरी फाइल्ज़ में तुम मैं जब डायरी के कुछ पन्नों को देखता हूँ  मेरी कविता में तुम्हारा चेहरा  और जो मिटा देता हूँ लिखते लिखते उसमें तो सबसे ज्यादा प्रभाव है तुम्हारा  मेरी किताबों के पन्नों में भी तुम हो तुम को कुछ पढ़के भी सुनाता था इस पढ़ने और समझने में मैं खुद ज़्यादा ही आगे निकल गया  देख ही नही पाया कि तुम अभी पीछे थे कुछ नाप तोल रहे थे  मेरे आज को मेरे कल को मेरी धरोहर को मेरी पहुँच को

The fragrance of spices is still afresh---  strong and tasty spices are hard to be forgotten . You brought spices  when the cuisine of my life lacked delectable taste Red pepper flakes  of your seasoned oration  and garlic powder of your perception added subtle flavour and aromatic notes on the top of our sandwich love We sauteed some talks with the oil of passion and affection like sesame seeds are made edible and soft

You taught me all wrong, Dad You told me that my smiles bring you joy But my smiles make me look a flirt, an enchantress This is what they tell me with their  eyes full of lust You told me to be straight forward and transparent as water But my outlook is questioned now and then You taught me to be humble They think I am timid You taught me values My politeness is misunderstood Dad Make everyone as simple as you are Or I will become mad one day Correcting and explaining
