विश्व पुस्तक मेला

best hindi blog

विश्व पुस्तक मेला जहां हर साल हजारों लोग अपनी पुस्तकों की प्रदशनी करते है, हर बार की तरह यहां बहुत सारे प्रकाशन और व्यापारी इस पुस्तक मेले में अपनी पुस्तकों की प्रदर्शनी करते है।

जैसे जैसे हम डिजिटल युग की और बढ़ रहे है पढ़ने वाले की संख्या कम होती जा रही है, यह एक आम बात है और ऐसा होना निश्चित ही है, यदि हम समय के साथ स्वयं को नहीं बदलते तो समय ही हम एक दिन बदल देगा। और हम उस समय, समय के दौर से बाहर हो चुके होंगे।

फिर दुबारा उस स्थान पर फिट होना बहुत मुश्किल होगा इसलिए हमें समय के साथ साथ बदल ही जाना चाहिए।

जैसे ही यह आर्टिकल मैं लिख रहा था सामने एक अंकल बैठ कर बहुत पुरानी किताब ही पढ़ रहे थे टूटी दीवारें जिसका पब्लिशर मीरा पॉकेट बुक्स है। मन तो कर रहा था कि एक तस्वीर की जाए लेकिन बिना उनकी अनुमति कैसे तस्वीर लु बस यही सोचकर रुक गया वो मेरे बिल्कुल सामने वाली सीट पर बैठे थे, और उनको देख बहुत मेरे मन में प्रसन्नता थी जहां हम डिजिटल युग की बात करने जा रहे है वहीं किताबों को स्पर्श करने का आनंद ओर अनुभव कुछ और ही होता है जब आपके हाथों में किताब होती है और आप उसको पढ़ते है तो आप किताब में पूरी तरह से खो जाते है।

मैं अपने मन को रोक नहीं पाया और मैंने उनकी एक तस्वीर ले ही ली बिना चेहरे की।

आज मैं दिल्ली विश्व पुस्तक मेला लगा है जिसमे मैं जा रहा था जहां मैं पिछले 20 वर्षों से जा रहा हूं। बचपन से ही मुझे पुस्तकों से लगाव रहा है। मुझे लाखों किताबें एकसाथ देख ऐसा लगता है कि मैं उन सभी पुस्तकों को पढ़ रहा हूं।

एक किताब ही होती है जिसके साथ आप बहुत सारी बातें कर सकते हो अपने मन की, वो आपकी मनपसंद की बाते आपसे करती है।

आज मैंने विश्व पुस्तक मेले बहुत सारी किताबे देखी ओर अलग अलग जगह गया कुछ नई चीज़े तो कुछ पुरानी चीज़े भी देखने को मिली हर वर्ष हजारों किताबे छपती है, हर रोज एक नया लेखक भी आ जाता है, और बहुत तो पुराने लेखक ही किताबे लिखते रहते है।

दिल्ली की जनता

zindagi

दिल्ली की जनता ने क्या देखकर वोट दिया, दिल्ली की जनता क्या बदलाव चाहती है, पिछले 10 साल से क्या काम किए है, आम आदमी पार्टी की सरकार ने और किन कामों के कारण दिल्ली की सरकार आम आदमी पार्टी को चुने।

दिल्ली की बसों में महिलाओ के लिए फ्री में सफर लेकिन आदमी बेचारा परेशान होता दिखता है, बस के इंतजार में, जो भी बस आती है वह पूरी तरह से महिलाओ से ही भारी हुई आती है।

महिलाओ को 2100रुपये में मिलेंगे यदि आम आदमी पार्टी की सरकार जीत जाती है तो।

हर महीने दिल्ली की सरकार 20,000 लीटर फ्री में देती है, क्या यह देखकर जनता आम आदमी पार्टी को वोट करे,

200 यूनिट बिजली फ्री है क्या यह देखकर वोट देना चाहिए।

दिल्ली की सरकार दिल्ली की जनता के लिए मोहल्ला क्लिनिक तो बनवाए, लेकिन बहुत सारी जगह सुचारु रूप से चलते नहीं है।

दिल्ली में जो नई बसे आनी थी उन्मे बहुत देरी करी, जो बहुत पहले ही आनी चाहिए थी, लेकिन बहुत देर में आई, चलो कोई बात नहीं लेकिन आई तो सही कुछ कुछ करके दिल्ली की सड़कों पर बस आई लेकिन अब भी ऐसी बहुत सारी जगह है जहां लोगों को 20-25 मिनट का इंतजार करना पड़ता है बस के लिए, जिसमे अभी तक कोई सुधार नहीं है।

दिल्ली की सड़कों का हाल क्या दिल्ली की जनता यह नहीं देखती, सड़कों का इतना बुरा हाल है, जो lockdown के समय में लिपा पोती हुई थी उसके बाद फिर कुछ नहीं हुआ, अब टूटी फूटी सड़कों पर वहाँ दौड़ रहे है, कही गड्ढे बड़े तो नहीं कही चोड़े हो रहे है लेकिन देखे कौन उनको दिल्ली की सरकार तो मुफ़्त का पानी ओर मुफ़्त बिजली फ्री देकर सो रही है।

दिल्ली के सरकारी स्कूल का हाल क्या है यह सबको पता है, पढ़ाई का स्तर यह है की 12 वी कक्षा का छात्र सही से हिन्दी भी नहीं पढ़ पाता है ओर यह बोलते है, हमारा मोडेल इंग्लैंड तक फेमस है।

ई-रिक्शा की संख्या इतनी बढ़ चुकी है की पैदल यात्री के चलने के लिए भी जगह नहीं मिलती, जहां मर्जी यह लोग रोक लेते है, ट्राफिक जाम की समस्या खतम नहीं होती।

हमे चाहिए साफ सड़के, मार्केटस को बेहतर ओर व्यवस्थित किया जाए जिससे ग्राहक ओर दुकानदार दोनों को फायदा हो।

जनता को जागरूक बनाया जाए सफाई के प्रति, दिल्ली की जनता को अधिक सुविधा दी जाए, युवा को रोजगार के अवसर प्रदान किए जाए।

दिल्ली की जनता को चाहिए की वह अपनी एक लिस्ट बनाए ओर सरकार को भेजे की हमारे लिए यह सभी कार्य किए तभी हम आपको वोट देंगे नहीं तो हम सरकार को गिर देंगे, हर साल सरकार बदलने का प्रावधान हो, हमारी शिकायत को लगातार सुना जाए।

मन की मनघडन्त बाते

कविताएं

मन की मनघडन्त बाते
मनघडन्त बाते इस मन की
मन भी ना जाने कैसी कैसी बाते घड़ता है,
ये अजीब सी कुछ अटपटी सी मनघड़ंत बाते मेरा मन करता है

कुछ किस्से खुद ही बुनता है, कभी कहानी सुना देता है
कभी गुस्से में होता है तो
कभी प्यार करता है
जब ये बाते बुनता है

तब ये किसी की नही सुनता है
बस मनघड़ंत-बस मनगढ़ंत
बाते ये मन बुनता है

कुछ देखी , कुछ सुनी बाते ये मन करता है
मन की भीतर दबी बात होती है
जब कोई लाइन मैं आगे आकर खड़ा हो जाता है,
बिना मतलब हमे पीछे कर जाता है
मन भीतर गुस्सा तो बहुत आता है

लेकिन
कुछ कह नही पाते हम
बस कोसते हुए जाते हम
जब कोई धक्का मार चला जाता है,
सॉरी बोलकर अपना पीछा वो छुड़ा जाता है
जैसे सॉरी से क्या सब कुछ ठीक हो जाता है,
अजी कोई बिना मतलब के गाली देता है,
छोटा समझकर कोई छेड हमे जाता है

जब कोई उम्र में छोटी लड़की भी यह लेडीज
सीट है  बोलकर उठा देती है ना शर्म आती है
उसे ना लाज
बस मेरे मन की गाली तो  मेरे मन भीतर दब रह जाती है

बिना मतलब रोड पर चलते हुए टक्कर कोई मार जाता है और पीछे मुड़कर भी नही देखता है
बस अनदेखा कर मरता हुआ बीच रोड छोड़ चला वो जाता है ,
बिना कान लीड लगाए मेट्रो और बसों में जब कोई मोबाइल पर गाना बजाता है
गुस्सा तो बहुत आता है,
पर मन की बात मन में ही रह जाती है।

जब गुटका खाकर बस के बाहर थूकता है,
वो छीटे मुझ पर आती है लेकिन कुछ हो नही पाता है

जब पुलिस स्टेशन में एक FIR के लिए चक्कर लगाता हूं
हल कुछ निकल नही पाता है
जब एक केस के लिए कोर्ट के चक्कर लगाता हूं
जब पुलिस वाला हफ्ता वसूल कर जाता है
डीटीसी बस का कन्डक्टर पूरे पैसे देने पर टिकट नही बनाता है।

बोलता है बैठ मेरे पास उतर जाना आराम से,
और कई बार गलत टिकट वो बनाता है,
आम आदमी हूं मुझे कुछ समझ नही आता है
गुस्सा तब आता है जब खाकी वर्दी वाला  भी गाड़ी पकड़कर चलान काट जाता है।

रोकता है परेशान करता है चलान भी नही देता है,
बस 500 का नोट लेकर ही वो छोड़ता है, मेरा मन मनगढ़ंत बाते बनाता है

लेकिन कुछ कर नहीं पता है बस दबी हुई, मन की बाते मन में रह जाती है।

उलझ

zindagi

उलझ एक हिन्द फिल्म जो इस शुक्रवार को सिनेमा में रिलीज हुई, दर्शकों को फिल्म तो पसंद आ रही है लेकिन जाह्नवी कपूर की ऐक्टिंग बिल्कुल भी नहीं पसंद आ रही, क्युकी इनके पास ईमोशन, डरना, ओर कहाँ कॉन्फिडेंट होना है कहाँ डरना है इस बात का कोई इल्म ही नहीं है,

यह फिल्म जाह्नवी कपूर को लेकर बनाई गई है, इस फिल्म का रिव्यू तो नहीं दे रहा मैं लेकिन जाह्नवी कपूर की थोड़ी सी बुराई कर रहा हूँ, क्युकी जाह्नवी कपूर को फिल्म तो अच्छी मिली लेकिन उसकी ऐक्टिंग बहुत ही खराब है, जाह्नवी कपूर सीन में फिट हो सके उसी तरह से फिल्म को काफी जगह मोड़ा गया है, नहीं तो यह फिल्म काफी अच्छी चल सकती थी, यदि उलझ फिल्म किसी दूसरी ऐक्ट्रिस को लिया जाता या फिर किसी मेल कलाकार को ही फिल्म में भूमिका निभाने के लिए रख लिया जाता तो शायद फिल्म इससे कई बेहतर हो सकती थी।

कुछ सीन इतने खराब थे जिनको देखकर हंसी आती है इतनी छोटी छोटी गलतिया फिल्म में की गई है, जो बहुत छोटी फिल्मों में भी नहीं की जाती इसलिए इस फिल्म को देखने से पहले सोचे की आप यदि जाह्नवी कपूर की वजह से जा रहे है तो बिल्कुल भी न जाए, फिल्म को देखे ओर जाह्नवी कपूर को इग्नोर करे।

फिल्म की कहानी तो अच्छी है लेकिन कहानी से ज्यादा दिमाग खरब जाह्नवी कपूर की ऐक्टिंग करती है जब भी दिमाग फिल्म में लगाने की कोशिश करता हूँ तभी जाह्नवी कपूर अपनी ऐक्टिंग के जरिए फिल्म देखने का मन उतार देती है, जाह्नवी कपूर के अलावा सभी कलाकारों ने बेहतर अभिनय निभाया है, जिसके चलते आप फिल्म देख सकते यही लेकिन बस एक ही शर्त है की आप जाह्नवी कपूर को इग्नोर करे तभी आप फिल्म को अच्छे से देखने का आनंद उठा पाएंगे।
