वक़्त (Waqt)

वक़्त ये वक़्त गुज़र ही जाएगा, कोई रास्ता निकल ही आएगा। माना अंधियारा है मगर, फिर भोर का वक़्त भी आएगा।   तिनके-तिनके हो जाएगा वृक्ष, फिर हरा मगर हो जाएगा। लू के थपेड़ों को चीर कर, बादल सुख का भी आएगा।   कुछ डगमग-डगमग क़दमों से, हमें चलना फिर से आएगा। रेत का टीला पल भर में, यूँ ही फ़ना हो जाएगा।   © 2021 गौरव माथुर

The Suez Canal Disaster – What does it teach us?

The Suez Canal Disaster What does it teach us? A one-of-a-kind human-made waterway which shortens the maritime route between Europe and Asia was once again in the midst of a controversy. No prizes for guessing, Ever Given, one of the world’s largest container ship went aground and literally blocked the Suez Canal for close to a week. While the losses are pegged at close to USD 9 billion, the teachings are aplenty. So, coming straight to the point, what does the recent Suez Canal disaster teach us? A lot I must say. Plan B Always have a Plan B no matter how true, perfect or obvious your first choice, the Plan A looks like. You should always have another plan to fall back to when things don’t work out the way you imagined. In terms of the Suez Canal, it would have been better if there was an alternate route to the Suez Canal or even a detour; least the canal is blocked for any reason whatsoever. Size doesn’t matter Whether it is a ship, a mountain, or even an authoritative figure,

Tata Tigor Honest Customer Review (Long term review)

Why this review and why me? Well, like you, I too was searching for honest and first-hand customer reviews of the latest ‘styleback’ from Tata Motors’ stable – the Tata Tigor. And, unlike you, I found none. So without further ado, here it is. My Tigor is Platinum Silver-coloured, XZ (O) Petrol and yes, is the top model, the fully-loaded one if you may say. The car has been through its 2 nd service and has clocked around 4500 kms till now. Before purchasing this car I owned a Maruti Zen Estilo and a Maruti Ritz; both of which are hatchbacks. So please treat this as a reference point when I refer to a hatchback during my review of the Tigor. I know that by now you must have gone through all of its features and expert reviews. Hence, I am skipping this part of telling you these features all over again. Let’s get to the actual stuff. That is, how are these features relevant and what is my experience in driving this beauty. Tata Tigor is surely a head-turner and you will

MANKIND

Like a phoenix it will rise, Like a bird will go high, Full of depth like an ocean, Will be fresh like sunrise. Will come into its senses, Will see without the lenses, Of hatred, greed and anger, Like a child, soft and tender. Treat everyone as equal, Will make up its mind, To cast away the hatred, It will be the new mankind. © 2008 Gaurav Mathur
