“The moment it ends,

I start missing it!

Our hugs

“The moment it ends,

Your hands move away and so does my head..even if it was some 5 minutes long hug..the moment it ends..

I start missing it!

My infinite talks and explanation of each and every silly or great things..even if it was a hour long oneway chat..the moment your listening power ends and my mouth stops,

I start missing it!

Every second spent with you

Yes..

“The moment you left saying goodbye

I started missing it!

Your fingers on my hairs and your eyes staring my face..the moment your hands go back to your pocket

I start missing it!

Your shoulders and your open arms

“The moment it ends..

I start missing it!

Your wicked looks …I can tolerate all..

as long as you are infront of me

“The moment you leave my room,

I start missing it!

Your long fingers explaining life to me

“The moment your suggestions end,

I start missing it!

Your eyes avoiding me to focus your important stuffs

“Even those avoiding glances I can keep staring for hours..the moment it all ends

I start missing it!

Your pillow heart

Your delicate glasses

Your infinitely attractive smile

Your changing beards and styles

Your never changing,my favourite mole

And your words..every single word you utter..even if it is in your mother tounge which I rarely understand…even if it is about a topic like cricket which I barely understand

I can hear you for hours..

I wish I never had to hung up the phone

I wish sleep never interrupted us

I wish I had a glue to compress you inside me

I wish I had your power plug which I would never turn off

Why is everything around you so addictive?

I miss your talks the moment you stop speaking

I miss you so much ”

She replied when he said “itta time to diya na tujhe…then why not satisfied??”

Some desires can have infinite wishes🎉⭐

Happy reading!

Cold hands closed my eyes

From beside

And someone special stood beside

And from then the journey of those

You

Books have always been my sacred sanctuary where I often found refuge from the drudgeries of the sapping lifestyle. Though I started reading young, I was never a ‘Fan” Sort of person who’d drool over some author and would devour all of their novels, rather I was more of a “Whatever I get hands upon, I read it” reader.
Still the early years marked an everlasting impression on the type of genre I’d be liking in my future years.
So, recently reading the list of authors by a Twitter friend made me think of enumerating my own writers who made me see the world through their eyes.

1. Robert Louis Stevenson: Nothing beats a terrific Treasure Hunt to pull a young lad of 10 years into the fantasy world of reading and Treasure Island had all the right gradients. Well, a lot about the book but what enchanted me was the way RL developed the plot and a teen was in the middle of the adventure. The lure of the name was enough for me to pick up his other book “Kidnapped”. He didn’t disappoint the adventure-hungry me. Another one of his novel which earned a cult status is
   “The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde”, which is among one of my favourite and a separate article will be soon published over it.

So I recommend the author for the young readers who want a perfect launch pad into reading.

2. Enid Blyton: Once again another Children’s writer who wrote so much that she became synonymous with the Genre until Rowling usurped her from the throne. Adventure, camaraderie, and ingenious ways of solving puzzles in an English setup always gave me the feeling that I have settled myself on the English moor in an English summer.

1. PG Wodehouse: What will you do if you found yourselves in the shoes of Bertie Wooster with the Mighty Jeeves ( forgive the Pun) with your steward. The early version of Siri or Alexa, Jeeves would make you fall for all his demeanour and problem-solving tactics and leave you with sympathy for the Wooster.

Well, if you are a fan of English humour which might not make you laugh like Gabbar but will enable you to have a slight curve of your lips which will linger on till the very end of the novel or maybe longer. The humour in his writings lies in the situation which unfolds rather than the dialogues. His omnibus of Jeeves and Wooster and Life at blendings are awesome and also his Public school series of novels.

4. J.K. Rowling: Well, what to write about her when the whole world has been enchanted with her works. When I got hands on her books, I was already in college and had read a lot of classics and English authors to the point, Potter mania hadn’t gripped me. Still, I didn’t want to be left out and hence I started reading her and within 2 days first three were completed.

The way Rowling evolved her story connecting all the dots from Philosopher’s Stone to the deathly hallows was a remarkable feat for the series which was spread over a decade. Though I have not read the spin-offs till now, I have read original books, seven times each, which can give you the picture of how much I Like the genre.

5. Jeffery Archer: To say as the Veeru says in Sholay, ” Inke novels main story hai Drama hai, emotions hai, romance hai aur twist hai. And twists are like you have to read the last line to know your answer.

He knows how to keep readers engage and one thing that makes him my favourite is developing a story with parallel lineups and then merging all of them

His best book for me has been Ken and Abel, but others like First among Equals, a twist in the tale, red herring and many others are a delight to read

6. Frederick Forsyth: Well, we all got gaga when Mr Tharoor used “exasperated farrago” in his tweet, this gentleman used it in his novel years back. A master writer of the espionage genre, Forsyth wrote with such a dexterity that would place you in front of a projector and him managing the reel. His ability to create multiple plots simultaneously might let you feel you are reading 3-4 books at a time. Being himself an armed force veteran the researches and tactical strategies described in his novel feel almost real. The day of the Jackal, his propellant to the fame has been said to have a perfect plan of the murder of the French President.

7. Robert Ludlum: Though the Bourne Series has won worldwide accolade due to its cinematic adaptation, the novel has much greater elements and is ten times better than the movie. The espionage genre in hands of Ludlum makes an unassuming, simple man to take up the task. Research filled novels though the much straighter plot, it was a delight for people who didn’t want to strain themselves Remembering so many things. His legacy, however, was ruined by the Ghostwriters who wrote along with his name and produced tasteless junk.

1. Munshi Premchand: A Hindi writer at last in the list, but let me be clear that the list is unordered and I am writing about whoever comes in my mind. Born as Dhanpat Rai, Munshiji was a writer of masses, such prolific he was in his writings that in a very short life of 56 Years, he published more than 300 short stories, 14 novels, many essays and all these when he managed a loss-making printing press and faced numerous British Sanctions. Munshiji’s stories are mostly set in the rustic environment of the then India and speak at length about the social evils prevailing at the time. Unlike others he brings you closer to the reality of the land, India was. His unabashed portrayal of love, greed and nationalistic and religious fervour astounds the reader and give them an instant connect with the colourful past we all have.

Godan, rangabhoomi, karmabhoomi, nirmala are few of his novels, and his short stories collection is published under the name Mansarovar and has about 10 volumes.

I should call it a day as this list is going to be longer than I thought. It would be better for me if I divide it into parts.

I hope this list will encourage the new readers to read and indulge in the hobby which is fast receding into oblivion due to the onslaught of newer means of mental gratification.

It’s been taught to us from very early period of education that food, clothing and shelter are the basic need which satisfies one’s survival but attaining survival needs, need to work and rest simultaneously. Soft pillow, fluffy blanket, no lights and cool puff of air makes every person fall asleep; however we neglect the pleasure of sleeping just to achieve the basic needs. We forget that “sleeping is an investment in the energy that you need to be effective tomorrow”. Studding, cooking, managing, entrepreneurship, PR, advertising etc any work leading to dream life needs efforts every day, but leads to unhealthy life whereas sleeping for sufficient hours daily needs no effort and leads to healthy life with ones satisfactory survival. There’s a proverb “maybe you are searching among the branches, for what only appears in the roots” which fits exactly to the working of present generation, we search for relaxation by referring to doctors and medicines to fulfill the race of sitting at top of fast-pace of the present society but we never look to the basic therapy of relaxing despite of working hard daily.

Sleep is important to a number of brain functions. Recent findings suggest that sleep plays a safeguarding role that removes toxins in your brain that build up while you are awake. Research also shows that a continual lack of sleep, or getting poor quality sleep, increases the risk of disorder in one’s health including high blood pressure, stress, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, depression, and obesity. Sleep works as food for brain, everyone is aware that food plays an important role in keeping one’s body developing and energetic with nutrients. Food for every living body has been described suitably for their proper functioning brain also needs food called sleep for its proper working. Skipping meal for oneself brings many harmful effects on health same get anticipated with skipping sleep.

There are some myths and there truth about sleeping that deviate ones judgment on the subject of sleeping which allows a person to skip or play with actual amount of sleep.

Myth 1: Getting just an hour less sleep per night won’t harm our daytime functioning.

Truth: Sleeping one hour less won’t allow you sleep during day time but affects your ability to think properly and response quickly as it should be, it also lead to reduction in cardiovascular health, energy balance, and ability to fight infections

Myth 2: Your body adjusts quickly to different sleeping schedules.

Truth: Body has a quality of adjusting to changes but adjusting to sleeping schedule won’t give you an idea about a big change but soon will bring laziness, decreases work performance, brings daytime drowsiness, and a sour mood.

Myth 3: Extra sleep at night can cure you of problems with excessive daytime fatigue.

True: Quantity of sleep plays an important role but also the quality of sleep is way more vital for solving the problem of fatigue. To cure the problem of daytime fatigue one must excessively pay attention rather than paying attention on extra time of sleep.

Myth 4: You can make up for lost sleep during the week by sleeping more on the weekends.

Truth: one long sleep may help you feel refreshed for a short while, the settlement of that extra sleep usually last only six hours or less after waking. Deficient sleep, lacking quality of sleep or disruptions to the sleep-wake cycle causes sleeps dept or sleep deprivation.

Myth 5: It’s no big deal to often have trouble falling asleep.

True: Insomniac is a serious sleeping disorder occurs due to trouble of falling asleep. Such trouble in falling asleep can bring disturbance in one’s working ability.

Sleep for every age group is defined differently. Sleep requirements vary from person to person, despite the notion that our sleep decrease with age; newborn to 3 months old requires 14-17 hours of sleep, 4-11 months old requires 12-15 hours of sleep, 1-2 year old requires 11-14 hours of sleep, 3-5 years old requires 10-13 hours of sleep, 6-13 years old requires 9-11 hours of sleep, 14-17 year old requires 8-10 hours of sleep, adults of age 18-64 years old requires 7-9 hours of sleep and older person aged 65 and more requires 7-8 hours of sleep. There is a big difference between the amount of sleep you can get by and the amount you need to function optimally can a bit be rescheduled but the frequent changes to this timings cause many problems.

Sleep is a complex and dynamic process that affects how you function. The cranky mood on next day is the result of sleep dept. Description of harmful effects to health due to lack of sleep is numerous and benefits of proper sleep is same. Conserving energy and decreasing blood pressure, heart rate, breathing and body temperature occurs when we take rest. Thus sleep is the best way to relax your body while keeping ones brain active.

“Acceptance of change and improvisation accordance to time brings happiness every time.”

Communication has come a long way from sending written letters to gossiping live through video calls which have made human conversation easier. Person sitting miles away can chat with another person in just one click. Saying of George Cantor “great innovation only happens when people aren’t afraid to do things differently” fits to the innovation of telephones by Alexaender Grahambell. Differently thinking of Grahambell to the problem of communication led to the introduction of telephones which also inspired others to bring changes in communication technology to make it easy.

Sometimes it works, sometimes it fails but that’s what is faced during improvisation. Improvisation from heavy, huge and long wired telephones to small, light weighted and wireless mobile phones worked positively. In today’s world everything is just one click away with such improvised techniques. Many social media platforms have surrounded us for communicating such as whatsaap, instagram, facebook, wechat etc.

Out of several social media platforms present, whatsaap is growing immensely with 1.3 billion monthly active users and 60 billion messages delivered daily on board; WhatsApp wants to make its platform more users friendly. It started as an alternative to SMS but today it supports sending and receiving a variety of media: text, photos, videos, documents, locations as well as one can pursue video calls and voice calls. With frequent updates from past 2years whatsaap has also covered the field of online business. The company has finally released its Business app which can help small businesses to engage with a large number of users more easily.

WhatsApp claims, 80% of small businesses in India and Brazil are already using their existing app to connect with their customers and expand their business. Whatsaap business just makes smart business sense to engage with your customers on the app they’re already familiar with. The company has tweaked the interface and added a bunch of new features which will allow small businesses to furnish more details about themselves and respond faster to their customers. It provides businesses to create a business profile with more detailed information about what they do and sell along with their address, website and contact number. Customers can reach out to them through messages or calls. With some smart messaging tools such as quick replies, which are a bunch of custom messages prepared by them in advance and can be used to provide quick answer to frequently asked questions makes whatsaap business different from normal whatsaap. Presently payments of orders is being done through net banking of UPI apps but whatssap is reportedly working on bringing the option to make UPI payment to its users and is having talks with various Indian banks and NPCI (National Payments Corporation of India). When it rolls out, customers will be able to pay merchants from within WhatsApp and the money will be directly sent to their bank account.

This new feature has not only helped small business grow but also have brought new enthusiasm in housewife’s to work and earn online. Simply becoming a reseller of any existing business has helped and is helping many Indian women to earn while working with households. It also has encouraged teenagers to earn while studding without losing their attendance. Whatsaap also add a sense of improvisation in other social media to create a platform to earn.

Enjoying ease of technology brings two aspects positive as well as negative automatically with it. Business through whatsaap has many positive layers to it but by default there occurs some negative layers too. Marketers fool customers in tangible business environment then its way easier for them to fool in intangible world. Basic problem faced are lack of referring to quality of product, theft by not delivering the product even after payment, delay in delivery or getting notifications every single minute can irritates anyone. Every problem comes with a defined solution though. Whatsaap have designed its app as such that you can block any person or group from irritating you, its upon customer to get the instance of quality by referring the cost and also one can directly approach to police for complaining the fraud related to money. Negative aspects of whatsaap business have not led it hinder its growth as there exists some true venders who work positively and are trust worthy in every case.

वो दस रुपय का नोट भी फड़फड़ाता है

ख़र्च होने नख़रे दिखाता है

ठेले पर देख गुपचुप ललचाता है

देख कोई ऑटो वो चिल्लाता है

मिलों चल संग मेरे फिर सकुचाता है

फटी जेब में अपना वजूद छिपाता है

छन्द पंक्तियों में बिखरा में

वो नोट आज भी फड़फड़ाता है

आज फिर से खोज रही हूँ ख़ुद को

समय दे रही हूँ अपनी कलम को

ज़िन्दगी की कश्मकश में भटक गई थी

फिर से गढ़ रही हूँ उस अधूरे ख्वाब को

झूठी हँसी के चलते दिल से मुस्कुराना भूल गई थी

सब की भावनाओं को समजते खुद की आशाएँ भूल गई थी

बनना चाहती थी कभी मैं भी इंजीनियर डॉक्टर

पर ,घर की चार दिवारी में क़ैद हो कर रह गई थी

ऐसा नहीं है कि कुछ पाया नहीं

पर जो खोया वो दिल से गया नहीं

लम्हे बहुत से आये हँसने मुस्कुराने के

पर वो टेस दिल से कभी कम हुई नहीं

जी करता था तोड़ दूँ इन रस्मो को

जी करता था छोड़ दूँ कसमो को

घोट दूँ गला इन बेड़ियों का

और काट दूँ इन झूठे जंजालों को

फिर याद आती है माँ की वो बात

इस घर से डोली आई है उस घर से अर्थी आएगी

और फिर सुबह उठ जाती हूँ झूठी मुस्कराहट के साथ

जब देखूं पीछे तो एक सुना सा रास्ता दीखता है

अंधेरी गलियों में ना कोई अपना लगता है

एक अरसा लंबा सफर ही था गुज़रा

जो किसी भ्रम में बिताया हुआ जमाना लगता है

Two of your lines touched my heart

ऐसा नहीं है कि कुछ पाया नहीं

पर जो खोया वो दिल से गया नहीं

These two lines summarises everything in this writeup

Brilliant

Welcome back miki

एक अरसा लंबा सफर ही था गुज़रा

जो किसी भ्रम में बिताया हुआ जमाना लगता है

Vaise dekha jaye to aaj bhi ek bhram hi hai

Kal bhi bhram hi tha

Aur Kal bhi bhram hi rahega

Bas jis pal ko dil se jee liya tumne shayad vahi hakeekat hoga❤

Luv u virus miki

I never knew I loved you so much

I never knew I could even be so moved

That I will write for you with such strong persuance from inside

All I know is

I want to see you smile

Even if you are destined to tears

Even if life has chosen for so

I can’t see you in pain

Even I am surprised!

Happy reading…
