जीवन महज़ संघर्ष है! ... Entry by Brahm Prakash Srivastav, Great Lakes Institute of Management, Chennai

बाज़ुएँ वे काम की, मझधार से जो तारती!
तूफ़ान से लड़ना, यही जीवन की सच्ची आरती!!

डर डर के जीने की आदत, मृत्यु से पहले मारती!
फौलाद सी संघर्ष शक्ति ही व्यक्तित्व निखारती!!

पत्थर जो एक तालाब का, पत्थर ही वो रह जायेगा!
पत्थर जो एक नदी में है, मंदिर में पूजा जायेगा!!

जल की मिठास उसे क्या पता? जो शरबत ही पीता रहा!
जल की मिठास वो जानता, जो रेत में था तपता रहा!!

फूलों की महक उसे पता कहाँ? इत्रों में जो सड़ता रहा!
फूलों की महक वो जानता, कांटों से जो लड़ता रहा!!

जो मिले बिन संघर्ष के, वो व्यर्थ है अग्राह्य है!
संघर्ष से हो जीत, ये आवश्यक नहीं अनिवार्य है!!

जीवन को जीता है वही, संघर्ष से जो युक्त है!
जीवन को जीता है वही, आलस्य से जो मुक्त है!!

जीवित नहीं वह मृत है, उद्देश्य जिसमें लुप्त है!
जीवित नहीं वह मृत है, संघर्ष जिसमें सुप्त है!!

जो कल न था वो आज है, कल होगा न जो आज है!
हर पल में परिवर्तन, यही सृष्टि का शाश्वत राज़ है!!

पल भर के इस संसार में भी, अमर उसका नाम है!
संघर्ष जिस इंसान का, पहला व अंतिम काम है!!

न जल है, न ही वायु है!
न मृत्यु और न आयु है!!

न यह दुखों की गाज़ है!
न ही सुखों का साज़ है!!

कुछ दु:ख है और कुछ हर्ष है!
जीवन महज़ संघर्ष है!

संघर्ष है, संघर्ष है!
संघर्ष है, संघर्ष है!!

Gudde Gudiyon ka Khel! ... Entry by Kahkashan Afrin, BIT Mesra Ranchi



LIFE IN A MUMBAI! ... Entry by Saurabh Jain, NMIMS Mumbai

माल भी है कमाल भी है ,
बवाल ही नहीं बेमिसाल भी है
है शराब यहाँ, है शबाब यहाँ
मायानगरी है ये , मायाजाल भी है

टपरे की हो सड़ी गली , या रास्ते मखमली
सब मिलता है यहाँ
कोई स्कूटर पे सवार है ,कहीं JLR है
सब चलता है यहाँ

हर सवाल के दो जवाब है ,हर जवाब का एक सवाल भी है
माल भी है कमाल भी है ,
बवाल ही नहीं बेमिसाल भी है

वड़ा-पाव पे जीते यहाँ ,शैम्पेन भी पीते यहाँ
सबका अपना ही स्टाइल है
बस स्टोप्स पे नोवेल पढ़े, जाये काम पे मीलों खड़े
लाइफ यहाँ बिलकुल ही मोबाइल है

घर छोटा है गाडी बड़ी, चक्कर बड़ा गोलमाल भी है
अय्याशीयाँ ही अय्याशीयाँ, लेकिन यहाँ बुरा हाल भी है

माल भी है कमाल भी है ,
बवाल ही नहीं बेमिसाल भी है

Aaj bhook lagi hain! ... Entry by Prateek Sah, IIM Ahmedabad

aaj nahin likh raha mein apne,
pyar ki jabran faasi par,
yaad aa rahi hain aaj apni maa ki,
jab bhooka pet chilla raha udaasi par,
yaad aa rahi woh rasoi se mehak,
ghee se sani garam garam rotiyon ka haal,
sarson ke saag se badhti bhook aur,
woh jeera sookhi lal mirch ke tadke ki dal.
yaad hain mujhko woh meethi meve ki kheer,
jab rasoi mein chupke se jaakar jebon mein meva bhar leta,
aur raat mein chupke se rajai ke andar,
ek ek kaju kismish ko apne pet mein ghar deta,
woh thaali ka patanka, chillana,
maa bhook lagi hain ab khaana do,
aur fir tu parosti apne haathon se,
lagta mujhe jaise kuber ka khazaana ho,
par ab kahan reh gaya woh swaad,
aaj toh bas mehenga khaana hi khaate hain,
pet toh shayad bhar jaata hain inse,
par na jaane bhook kyun nahin mitaate hain,
maa ek baar fir se le chal mujhe bachpan mein,
baar baar uljhaata hain mujhe apni yaad se,
kasam ab kuch na chorunga thaali mein,
bas ek baar maa lauta de mujhe apne swaad se..
 

Some MeMoRiEs can NeVeR be ErAsEd! ... Entry by Dhiraj Kumar, IIM Rohtak

When you were closer I never appreciated your task
Now I miss your talk when you have moved miles apart...
I stand here trying to pull you back closer to my heart
Knowing you will not come as you have moved miles apart...
Raining pouring making me wet letting my tears being washed
Nobody to hold the umbrella as you have moved miles apart...
Walks are lonely and I keep forgetting the path
Nobody to guide me as you have moved miles apart...
No message no call making me just to scold
But you never shout back as you have moved miles apart...
I cannot smile I cannot laugh
It makes me remember the past
It keeps coming back making me remember you have moved miles apart...
Trying to take your thoughts out of my mind
Became friends with people and did many things
Nothing could make me forget you have moved miles apart...
I still wait for you to come back and hold me hard
Whisper in my ears, you are near
and You haven't moved miles apart...
You haven't moved miles apart...

For all those who have lost their loved ones and still have a feeling for them to be back.....
For all those brains from where...
Some MeMoRiEs can NeVeR be ErAsEd....

Stages of Life! ... Entry by Anantha Lakshmi, SSN SoMCA, Chennai

The world seemed new,
When people around were few.

He was scary to take the 1st step,
It was said that a milestone starts by taking the 1st step.

The 1st day of school turned out bad,
I cried and also made everyone around sad.

10th and 12th was said to be difficult,
But the last exam's few minutes was difficult.

Friends had plans and had to depart,
But the memories never kept us apart.

College life was a new life for fun,
Friends were also ready for this fun.

Cultural, bunking and semester were the memories,
Later emotions were brought out thinking these memories.

3yrs passed only with one aim,
Motive was achieving the aim.

Working was an option after college,
Another choice is to continue study in another college.

Time passed marriage topic came up,
The time or sharing and giving happiness had come.

Things were different after marriage,
It resulted in a happy marriage.

Getting old was nothing new,
Children taking care of you were very few.

True love was something important,
This age seemed important.

Think about your loved one in the end,
As it s your last breath and your world comes to an end.
