यहाँ जन गण भी भाग्यविधाता है
चलो निकलो घर से
छुटभैये कवि
अपनी दो टके की
सतही कविता के साथ
इस क्रांति में वे ही असरदार होंगे
खालिस तुकबंदी भी चलेगी
और पैरोडी भी
विचारधारा विहीन इस उथल पुथल के दौर में
कोई भी स्थापित कवि
क्रांति के गीत नहीं गाएगा
उन्होंने अपने शब्द छुपा लिए हैं।
माँगने पर ठुकरा देते हैं।
क्योंकि कुर्सियां बढ़ा दी गई है कतार में
रुका पड़ा है सम्मान समारोह उनके इंतजार में
अब सारी जिम्मेवारी तुम्हारे ऊपर
तुम जो अबतक पढ़े नहीं गए
तुमने जो कभी अच्छा नहीं लिखा
चाहकर भी दोयम दर्जे से निकल नहीं पाए
अपनी समझ में आनेवाली
साधारण सी कविता में पिरो दो
हमारे साधारण से सारे दुःख दर्द।
ऐसी कविता बिना आलोचकों के सिफारिश से
पहुँच सकती है हम तक
फंसती नहीं किसी
पत्र -पत्रिका या पुस्तक के महाजाल में
फेसबुक पर तैरती हुई
ट्विटर पर उड़ती हुई
ट्रक के पीछे लटककर
बसों में चिपककर
रेलगाड़ी में छुपकर
छा जाती है
गली, नुक्कड़, चौराहे
घर और हाट-बाजार तक।
भूल से भी छपकर मर नहीं जाती
तमगे दिवस को जिन्दा होने के लिए
और इसे
विश्वविद्यालय का कब्रिस्तान भी दफनाता नहीं
तुम्हारी कविता बेशक कविता होगी
गोकि तुम कवि नहीं माने जाते
'ऐरे गैरे नत्थू खैरे' तुम कहोगे-
केवल बड़े नहीं निर्माता है
यहाँ जन गण भी भाग्यविधाता है।

Nitin Gadkari compares IQ of Swami Vivekananda with Dawood Ibrahim
In the midst of a controversy for his business connections, BJP national leader Nitin Gadkari on Sunday evening courted fresh dispute after he compared the intelligent quotients (IQ) of Swami Vivekananda with that of underworld don Dawood Ibrahim.
Speaking at the Ojaswini felicitation progr
amme
here to honour leading women from various fields, Gadkari said, "The IQ
of both Swami Vivekananda and Dawood Ibrahim would be similar, but
their direction in life is so different. One used his intelligence for
destructive purpose, to damage society and humanity with the spread of
crime and terror while there was the other used his intelligence for the
benefit of society. His thoughts remain an inspiration for the
nation.''
At the function which was targeted at paying tributes to women, the BJP president also hinted that he was not one of those politicians who advocated reservations for the fairer sex. He gave a scintillating speech to argue that women had the intelligence and power to get to the top of every job.
"Whenever people ask me about reservation for women, I tell them that Indira Gandhi and Mayawati did not benefit from reservations," he said. Mentioning the names of several women leaders he explained: There are two ways of getting ahead in life. Take two parallel lines - you can make one longer by deleting the other or you can make the effort and stretch your line much ahead of the parallel.''
Gadkari admitted that opportunities should be given to prove ones talent. He also acknowledged that women have been discriminated against in the Indian society for centuries and that there was no connection between caste, creed religion and gender'' and aptitude and hard-work. He quipped that a gifted worker cannot be suppressed forever. He even quoted Greek physicist Archimedes' theory of displacement to prove that women had the ability to empower themselves without the support of reservations.
Archimedes has said so. The heavier the object you throw, that much water will splash out as displacement. The harder you work, that much recognition will be yours and no one can stop it,'' Gadkari explained.
In his long 40-minutes speech, Nitin Gadkari avoided any mention about the recent controversy surrounding him. The media attempted thrice in Bhopal to get him to speak on the issue, but he eluded the questions each time.
