Kadam ka ped.....for Maa!

This is one of the best poem i ever read.....wanted all of u to read this. The author name is mentioned below. I just hope, it does not have any legal problems to publish a poem on blog after mentioning the author.

Just enjoy the emotions behind these lines

KADAMB KA PED


Yeh kadamb ka ped agar maa, hota yamuna teere,
Main bhi us par baith kanhiya,banta dheere, dheere...
Le deti yadi bansuri ,tum do paise wali,
Kisi tarah neeche ho jati ye kadamb ki dali,

Tumhein nahi kuch kehta,par main, chupke chupke aata,
Us neechi dali se amma, unche pe chad jata....
Wahin baith phir ,bade maje se, main bansuri bajata,
Amma amma keh tumhein bansi ke, swar mein bulata....

Sun meri bansi ko maa tum itni, khush ho jati,
Mujhe dekhne kaam chor kar, tum bahar tak aati....
Tumko aata dekh bansuri rakh , main chup ho jata,
Patton mein chipkar dheere se, phir bansuri bajata...

Gusse hokar mujhe danti kehti, "neeche aaja",
Par jab main na utarta,hans kar kehti, "munna raja"....

Neeche utro mere beta ,tumhein mithai dungi,
Naye khilone,makhan,misri, dhoodh malai dungi...
Main hans kar sabe upaar ki tehni , par chad jata,
Ek baar "maa" keh patton mein wahin, kahin chip jata...

Bahut bulane par bhi "maa", jab main na utar kar aata,
Tab "maa" tumhara hariday, bahut vikal ho jata...
Tum aanchal pasar kar maa wahin ped ke neeche,
Eeshwar se kuch vinti karti, baithi aankhein meechey.....
Tumhein dhyan mein lagi dekh, main dheere dheere aata,
Aur tumhare faile aanchal mein, aakar chip jata...

Tum ghabra kar aankh kholti, phir bhi khush ho jati,
Jab apne "munne raja" ko, apni godi mein hi pati....

Isi tarah kuch khela karte, hum tum dheere dheere,
"maa" kadamb ka ped agar, ye hota yamuna teere.......

Murali...dharan!

Murali...in Hindi means "flute"..and Muralidhar is lord Krishna!

Muralidharan, a living legend retired from test cricket!! Well, what he has achieved makes him like lord Krishna of test cricket bowling!! Well, all know his accomplishments, and the problems he faced all along, including injuries, operations, chucking allegations, ICC test on his action etc etc...the list goes on.

But I was so pleasantly wondering over the grand last test he had, as if someone up there specially wrote the farewell script. Batting like he rarely did, he put his team total to a score, which became very difficult to achieve for India. then, getting sachin tendulkar to start with, and then go on to get another five wicket haul...!! And then end it up with 800 wickets, with 10 wicket win in the test, and few other records like maximum no of caught and bowled by specific player combo, maximum no of wickets against India, getting 40% of total no of test wickets ever taken by Sri Lanka(one needs to give it a thought to understand the enormity of the achievement!!)....I think, it could not have been better!

What I admire even more is, his decision to quit..he cud clearly have played more...and contributed....but then few legends have the capability to realise when to say it quits. McGraw did it just after winning the world cup...and I think Murali is following the right thing..quitting, when he is a king..not waiting till he becomes liability to carry for the team!

Bow to u legend!

FIFA world cup!

Well..its that time again when once in 4 years the football fever grips the world...ppl forget boundaries and limits and just drench themselves with the passion of football....the oohs and aahs...and the jubilation on goals and wins....all of its incomparable!

Well...I have been thinking which teams shall make it to final/semi final this time? Personally, two teams that I like to cheer for are Brazil and Argentina! But then by the time I have started writing this, Brazil has already been out of the game only less than 2 hr back! So, which other teams can be expected to be there...

I think, between Argentina and Germany, whichever teams win, shall reach the finals...and the other team has the potential to reach final is Spain!! While the Indian junta has in general followed teams like Argentina, Brazil and Germany....Spain is not much talked about here..but going by the beautiful game they have been playing...its simply riveting and fascinating! The beautiful, sharp precise passes, the zeal to keep the possession, Xavi making those beautiful almost magical moves and Villa striking phenomenal goals one after other......they are sure increasing their fan following in India after each game! Not only this, what also deserves mentioning here is they are the only team which has not got even a single yellow card! they play beautifully and they play fairly!! and even then, they have been the only team that scored against Portugal. Shows, they have it in them to score against even the best of defense in the world!

So here I am, predicting (in fact I should be using the word wishing) that it would be either Argentina vs Spain or Germany vs Spain in semi final and netherland being the team from other group in final!

Lets see...how close I was :-) Best wishes to me!!
