ખાલીપણાનો ભાર છે ---નિખિલ જોશી

2010-02-19T03:46:00.001-08:00

ખાલીપણાનો ભાર છે
એનો જ તો આભાર છે

એના વિષે હું શું કહું?
એ તો સમજદાર છે

આંખ માં ખૂંપી રહી
સ્વપ્નની એ ધાર છે

શાહી છે બસ ત્યાં લગી
આ કલમ ઓજાર છે

એક મુઠ્ઠી ઝાંઝવા
કે બધે વ્યાપાર છે

સાવ સૂની શેરીઓમાં
બંધ બધ્ધા દ્વાર છે

એક ભીના સ્પર્શનો
સંઘર્યો આધાર છે

સ્મિત ઝાંકળનું અહી
ફૂલ નો શણગાર છે

ઉજાગરાની ઓથમાં
આંખનો નિખાર છે

બૂંદ થઇ બેસી શકું
એટલો વિસ્તાર છે

મૂડી બચી છે આટલી
એ ઝંખના બે-ચાર છે

સંવેદનાના નામ પર
જ્યાં જુઓ ત્યાં ઠાર છે

સુર્યતાપે ગુલમહોરે
છાવની બોછાર છે

ગર્ભના આ શ્વાસમાં
અણદીઠો કો તાર છે

મધ્યદરિયે નાવનો
સઢ પરે મદાર છે

દુશ્મનોની ધારણામાં
દોસ્ત નો આ વાર છે

એ બધા ઉજવી રહ્યા
એ અમારી હાર છે

ભેટ આપ્યો તે કિનારો
ને તુંજ પેલે પાર છે

શાંત છે સઘળી દિશા
યુદ્ધનો અણસાર છે

હું ભજું કે તું પઢે
એક સઘળો સાર છે

Dreams --NIKHIL JOSHI

Dreams

--NIKHIL JOSHI

Sound sleep of full night
I have never seen
Somewhere on mid-way
Always I meet a crazy cluster of dreams
Near by the lake of dream-land
Suddenly I get embraced by the cluster
Looking at horizons of the starry sky
I sing a call for you..
Saying not to send these crazy dreams
Dreams...which never come true...
And chewing the shadow of moon of memory
I walk along the dreams
On way of dusty desires
That leads me to flames of fire
I warm-up myself by the side of flames
Murmuring muteness of the earth
I wish to escape....really willing to escape...
But my dreams...!!! Oh my dreams...!!!
They never let me go back to my place
Far away when the sun is about to rise
They fly away leaving me all alone
And I come back
Carrying heavy footsteps on my shoulder
Hiding my loneliness all the way...all alone....
All the way... all alone......Longing for where my dreams are gone?

Cry of River

--NIKHIL JOSHI

Long back here was a flow of mine
Flowing unstopped, uninterrupted
Trees, my friends and birds my angels
We all singing songs of nature together
Were living each and every moment
With a soft smile of our smooth sounds
But the cruel fellows
Cut down my friends, my sweet cute neighbor trees
Birds have flied away in search of another sky
And me….?
Just passing day after day
Being thirsty for waters
Waters which long back I had seen
Playing in my lap
But now I am frightened by this human slap.

Footprints -Nikhil Joshi

Footprints

-Nikhil Joshi

Once upon a time dreams shattered
Buried beneath untrodden path of heart
Sigh of shattering till today
Murmuring in the mind
Blowing baffled
Music of memories in muteness
Recalls the cute conversations
Unspoken, undelivered, unexplored
And here goes
Days and nights altogether unnoticed
Leaving remarkable footprints.

Conducted a workshop on Blogging in an International Conference

2010-02-18T03:46:00.000-08:00

Recently i conducted a workshop on:
BLOGGING-A TOOL FOR TEACHING LEARNING
in an International Conference at Perundurai, Tamilnadu.

Get taught everything by an ostensible

Blogging is a tool that can be used in teaching-learning. It adds some techno feature to the entire concept of education. It assigns flexibility to both teacher and learner as well. Online education was already in existence but recently BLOGGING has created a vast impact on online sharing and learning. Web2.0 has helped us a lot by making us capable of creating our own communities and expanding horizons on sharing basis. It has provided a wide-range exchange of information all across the world just through one click. Virtual factors are leading and misleading both but every netizen has to be accurate in using webs and blogs in a creative way, otherwise widely it is observed that netizens are turning up into net-addicts. Net-Zones have created a new zone even for educational purposes. People all over the world are sharing, exchanging, teaching, learning, viewing lots of net-materials everyday. Ultimately, we can say, Blogging has become an essential feature for almost every netizen.

Translation of a Gujarati Poem by Nikhil Joshi

2009-11-07T01:40:00.000-08:00

સ્થિતિ

સૂરજ ઉગતો નથી આથમતો.

ઢળેલો ચહેરો મેજ પર હાથ ઢોળાયેલો.

અઢળક સફરજનના ઢગમાં મારા પૂર્વજો દટાયેલા.

યાન અવકાશમાં સફર્યે જતું.

ગ્રહ નક્ષત્રો છેદી. એ હું.

અચાનક મારો વિસ્ફોટ થતા અગણિત જીવાણુ ઊછળશે.

જીવાણુના પડછાયાથી સૂરજ ઢંકાશે તે રાત્રિ.

પૃથ્વીના પડ તોડતા

એક પછી એક. અનેક.

એમ તળ પાતાળ છેક છેદતા

ફરી ત્યાંથી અફાટ એ જ આકાશ ઘૂઘવતું દેખાય એ દિવસ.

આરસ મેજ ચોરસ પાથરી બેઠો હતો

અને મેજ પર હાથ ઢોળાયેલો.

આઘેઆઘેના પથ્થરિયા મેદાનથી

ગબડતું સફરજન આવી

મારા પગ કને થંભી ગયું છે.

Translation of the given poem:

State / Condition/ Hands Spilt on Table

Neither rises nor sets the sun

Pale face

Hands spilt on table

My ancestors buried beneath ample of apples

Shuttle moving in space

Splitting planets and constellation, it’s me

A sudden explosion of mine causes a blast of innumerable minute creatures.

Sun covered by its shadow makes a night

Breaking down the layers of the earth

One after another…and many more…

Piercing abyss of the earth

And over there again seen endless sky that makes a day.

Sitting around my marbled square table

Hands spilt on table.

From far away stony land

An apple moving towards me

Has stopped nearby my foot.

UK Translation Project Poems on River

2009-06-25T03:56:00.001-07:00

Recently I finished my work on a recording for a UK based translation project. I recorded 9 tracks for Musical Presentation & Recitation of some English poems and some poems translated into Gujarati. It was a translation project for a UK based group of artists.

This group is basically working for Environment Change Awareness, mainly on 'rivers'. When they visited India in December 2008, they organized a workshop with some participants from Vallabh Vidyanagar at the bank of river Mahi. They wrote poems on river and made some paintings on river. Then few of these works were translated by Falguni Bharteeya and some other people. English poems were published by this group at UK.

Falguni Bharteeya and me worked on selected 9 works for its musical presentation and recitation. In this project, musical presentation, vocals and recitation are done by me.

These days Falguni Bharteeya is in UK for a seminar organized by this UK based group of artists and she would present all these 9 tracks over there.

I have also made a video of one of these 9 tracks which is a translated version of an English poem on flood. After this post I am going to upload this video created by me.

Following is the list of these 9 tracks:
1- The Day the Waters Came (by Ray Hearne)
2- Je Di Umti Aavya Pur (English poem by Ray Hearne and Translated by Falguni Bharteeya)
3- The Ice Is Melting Fast (by Julie Boden)
4- Tvara Thi Pigalto Baraf (English poem by Julie Boden and Translated by Falguni Bharteeya)
5- Sister Mahi (by Brian Lewis and Translated by Kiran Joshi)
6- River Mahi (by Alka Macwan)
7- Castleford on Aire (English poem by Brian Lewis and Translated by Falguni Bharteeya)
8- Opening Prayer (English poem by Siobhan Mac Mahon and Translated by Pranav Dave)
9- A River on the Deathbed (by Adam Tankarvi and Rajendrasinh Jadeja)

VISIT MUMBAI

2008-04-21T03:30:00.000-07:00

Top 10 Things to See in Mumbai (Bombay), India

by Jim Ada (speak111)
Mumbai, India is a most fascinating place to visit. The city itself has a population of approximately 13 million. But when you add in a couple of the suburbs the number goes up to about 19 million. Hotel rooms are at a premium so be sure you have a reservation well in advance of going there or you may not be able to get a room. Do not try to drive yourself. Get a driver who knows how to navigate through what looks like a whole parking lot of vehicles coming at you at rapid speed.

1. Gateway of India
This landmark is where English King George V landed in India. The people of Mumbai made this beautiful memorial to him. Gandhi came back from South Africa and passed through this arch on his return.

2. Chor Bazaar
The literal translation of this market is the Thieves Market". If you love antiques this is the place for you. There is a whole neighborhood, or several streets of nothing but antique shops. You may find that treasure you have been looking for for years and at a great price.

3. Bhau Daji Ladd Museum
This is a wonderfully restored museum that displays an extensive and beautiful decorative collection of their arts. This may be the best overall museum in Mumbai. It is worth the trip to see this museum.

4. Haji Ali Mosque
An unforgettable sight, at sunset, you can look out at the jetty sitting in the Arabian Sea and see this wonderful mosque silhouetted in the sky. It is a beautiful white mosque built to honor the Muslim saint Haji Ali and houses his remains.

5. Cowpatty Beach
You come here for the excitement of seeing the people, the food stalls and the tantalizing Indian food that is available to try. This is that place girls and boys find each other for a romantic stroll on the beach. There is also a Ferris wheel that does not have a motor. It is run by young men climbing on top of the wheel, then jumping on the next rung down making the wheel rotate.

6. Mani Bhavan Gandhi Museum
This is the two-story building where Mahatma Ghandi once lived. It is now a museum, library and research center. It is all about Ghandi 's life and the many struggles that took place for India to receive its freedom peacefully. This is a very remarkable place.

7. Flora Fountain
Found in Martyr 's Square and in the heart of Mumbai 's business district, a very ornate and stately fountain.

8. Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus
A masterpiece of Gothic architecture and stained-glass windows, this is India 's most beautiful railway station. It has towering spires, domed arches and buttresses and pillars of animal images carved into them.

8. Mahatmy Jyotiba Phule Market
The local people call this market Crawford Market and it is a must see. It is housed in a building that looks like something right out of Victorian London. You will find little shops and stalls everywhere selling vegetables, pickles, chocolates, toothpaste, meats, camera items and much more. This is a place you will want to see.

9. Jehangir Art Gallery
The gallery exhibits art from the past to the present. An art gallery that Indian artist want to have their work exhibited in because of its prestige.

10. Esselworld
An amusement park and water park combined just north of Mumbai. This is the place to get away from the city and relax for a few hours or a day. A great family place where you can enjoy the charm of India.

Era of Blindness

2008-02-05T10:50:00.000-08:00

The Era of Blindness

We are living in 21st century-the era of blindness we can call it in one way for our people. Nostradamus has also said that Bharat will turn out to be the super power in the world. Could you see that prospect of Bharat? If no then you are erroneous and if yes then also you are mistaken in sense of nearer future. We people chase for very rapid progress but at the same time we are wiping out our footprints. Here I mean, we disregard our healthy and wealthy heritage. We are the sons of such a great nation who has guided and enlightened the whole world for centuries. It was Bharat only what has been the centre point of attraction for many foreign communities for years and years. That was the main reason that we have been victims of many attacks by the many communities from all over the world. The attacks continue even today in this era but all the time we follow the blind faith in others and we lose our golden inheritance day by day. Centuries back it happened in some dissimilar ways and today it’s happening in another way. Why don’t we care for our affluence, our heritage? This indicates that slowly and gradually we are moving back towards our past. If you get a product with the logo of other foreign country then you feel privileged unnecessarily and you don’t worth our own products. The world is using our ‘Ved’ and ‘Upanishad’ and all other resources as the reference for their researches. For example Aayuraved, foreign countries are awakening to hold the benefits of our Aayurved, but we….! We feel that it’s not highly preferable. In fashion we blindly follow the trends of others. In food we don’t be much cautious about our dishes where as other nations have become alert about the side effects of junk food. Others are being crazy for our things but we are not. Where shall we end up this blind run-way. Don’t you feel that even in new year celebrations we are giving more weightage to December-end celebration compared to ‘Diwali-new year’?
Let’s make it a new resolution to stop running a lamb’s race and to tread our own way in our own style.

A Poem

2008-02-05T10:41:00.000-08:00

This poem was nominated for best poem of 2005, written by an African child.

When I born, I black
When I grow up, I black
When I go in sun, I black
When I scared, I black
When I sick, I black
And when I die, I still black
And you white fella...
When you born, you pink
When you grow up, you white
When you go in sun, you red
When you cold, you blue
When you scared, you yellow
When you sick, you green
And when you die, you grey…
And you calling me colored?

Dreams Unlimited...

2008-02-05T10:36:00.000-08:00

Dreams Unlimited…

“You see things and you say-‘why?’, but I dream things that never were; and say-‘why not?’”
George Bernard Shaw (in ‘Back to Methuselah’)

Dare to dream….and dream to dare in life. Gandhi dared to dream to give British a strong fight of non-violence and history knows what happened afterwards. After lots of failures in life Lincoln continued daring to dream and one day came when his dream came true. Einstein dreamt to dare and he got success in his field. Napoleon kept himself daring and dreaming….he proved what he was. It is said that a goal is a dream with deadline. We always keep ourselves dreaming about many good things and it would surely result in some great deed. Dreams are source of inspiration and motivation as well. One who dreams can do something better than one who doesn’t have any dream.
While dreaming, one should keep in mind that there is a very thin line of difference between dream and day-dream. Dreams should be founded on the pillars of reality. You must not underestimate yourself while you are dreaming. Aim always at higher goal and put all your efforts to make that dream come true. On the basis of one’s dreams you can predict his tomorrow. Even in the time of difficulties in life, your dream can feed you. As Aeschylus, a Greek philosopher has also said in his work ‘Agamemnon’- ‘I know how men in exile feed on dreams of hope.’ If you have a dream in your life, believe me you can do anything in this world. Poor are those who don’t have any dream. Dream can give you a reason to your breathing, dream can enlighten your path though it’s full of obstacles, dream can lead you to fulfillment of your life and it is the dream only which can make you feel alive every single day.
Shakespeare has also said – “The very substance of the ambitious is merely the shadow of a dream.”
GCET LANGUAGE CLUB was also such a dream that I dreamt to dare once and now it’s this dream only which makes me dare to dream about e-patra and many more activities in the club.
