Ek kashti thi kagaz ki

Ek kashti thi kagaz ki, aur behta tha paani
Ek bachpan tha foolon sa, jiska na tha koi saani

Ek masumiyat thi chehre pe, aur thodi si shaitani
Bahut si thi khwashiyen, aur thodi si nadani

Ek mohabbat thi zamane mein, aur hawa thi ruhani
Khoobsurat thi zindagi, thodi gulzar thodi suhani

Ek alag sa sukoon tha, jab sunte the kahani
Ek hua karta tha raja, aur ek hoti thi rani

Aksar yaad aati hain yeh baatein, jo ho gayi puraani
Ek kashti thi kagaz ki, aur behta tha paani

Empowerment - The word that has lost its meaning

Empowerment the word that is misunderstood in a big way. Today when we talk about empowerment, it is more about giving reservations. Well I was of the opinion that empowering someone is about making them capable so that they can compete with others. Are we really empowering people by giving reservations? Just imagine a 100 meter race. There is a person who doesn't have fitness levels or training available to compete against the best. Now what our logic of empowering that person is let him start at 90 meter mark (I hope I am not being too optimistic here ;)). He will beat Usain bolt who starts at zero mark (10 meter against 100 meter, he should do that ;)). Wow we have just empowered a person to beat the best in the world. Really? Isn't it unfair to the person starting at zero? Maybe not to that extent as it is for the one who starts at 90. Because every now & then he will be reminded of the fact that "You won because you started at 90 meters". Now w...
