इंटेलेक्चुअल युवा

इस देश के भटके हुए भटकते युवा में एक नया युवा जन्म ले रहा है, या शायद वो हमेशा से मौजूद था लेकन दिखना अभी शुरू हुआ है| ये इंटेलेक्चुअल युवा है|

ये वो युवा है जो रवीश से इत्तेफाक रखता है और पियूष मिश्रा के गाये हुए गाने सुनना पसंद करता है| इसके बुकमार्क्स में 'क़स्बा' का लिंक मिलता है और ये मंटो और धर्मवीर भारती को पढता है, और हिंदी पढने, लिखने और बोलने में इसको कोई शर्म महसूस नहीं होती| ये युवा गुलज़ार को उनके गीतों से ज्यादा उनकी नज्मों के लिए पसंद करता है और जानता है की उनके हर एक गीत में कोई न कोई नज़्म छुपी हुई है| इस युवा का ग़ालिब और मीर से भी गहरा ताल्लुक है और इसको कविता और शायरी पढने और लिखने, दोनों का ही अच्छा ख़ासा शौक है| इसके फ़ोन में बॉलीवुड के पंजाबी रैप सॉंग्स की जगह बेगम अख्तर और गुलाम अली की गज़लें मिलती हैं| ये युवा फेसबुक पे जाके फ़ालतू पोस्ट पे लाइक और कमेंट करने के बजाये गहरे मुद्दों पे गंभीर चर्चा करता है|

लेकिन इस युवा का सोशल एक्सपटेंस बहुत कम है क्यूंकि अधिकांश युवा इसके जैसा नहीं है और उसको इसकी सारी बातें बेतुकी लगती हैं| इसीलिए इस युवा के बारे में हम काफी कम जानते हैं क्यूंकि इसने खुद को एक कमरे में बंद कर लिया है और अपनी ही दुनिया में रहने लगा है| ये रात भर जगता है और कुछ न कुछ क्रिएटिव करने में लगा रहता है जिससे इसके मन को शांति मिलती है जैसे की रात साढ़े तीन बजे ब्लॉग लिखना|

ये युवा मैं हूँ और मैं इस युवा को सलाम करता हूँ|

    Hum sab ke andar ek aisa hi yava h. Par aj kl ki materialistic life ne is yuva ko kahi kho diya h. Itna shor hai charo taraf wo apni khud ki awaz nhi sun pa raha h. Wo khud se dur h aur kahi khoya huya h

      Shayad tum sahi ho lekin main tumhari is rai se ittefaaq nahi rakhta. Main ye maanta hun ki har daur mein hi ek aisa yuva ubharta hai jo apne samkaaleen logon se alag hota hai. Ye shayad prakrati ka niyam hai ki kuchh log dusron se zyada samajhdar hote hain. Yahi cheez 'lesser mortals' aur 'higher mortals' create karti hai.

Art, Artist, and Are They?

“The role of the artist is to ask questions, not answer them.” ―  Anton Pavlovich Chekhov The democratization of technology has made tools once exclusive to professionals now accessible to everyone. Anyone with a smartphone and an internet connection can become a photographer, a musician, a painter, an artist, an author, or a poet. The barriers to entry have been dismantled so thoroughly that the true essence of being an artist has been diluted to the point of absurdity. Gone are the days when art required peer review and validation by credible authorities. When people understood the concept of being rejected and accepted the idea of not being good enough. The self-serve platforms have effectively obliterated the need for hardened training to excel in any craft. Instead, we're drowning in a sea of self-proclaimed artists who possess the tools but lack the discipline and skill honed through years of dedication and critique. The result? An overwhelming flood of what can only be descr...

Welcome to the Machine

  “One day everything will be well, that is our hope. Everything's fine today, that is our illusion” ―  Voltaire Perhaps one of the most famous thought experiment ever devised is the trolley problem. It is said to be the classic representation of the clash between the two schools of thought in the western philosophy  - utilitarianism and deontology. The problem states that a trolley is running down a track and on the track there are five people tied up and unable to move. There is an alternative track on which a single person is tied up. You are standing at a lever that can change the direction of the trolley to the alternate track. Your choices are to either do nothing and let the trolley kill five people or to pull the lever and divert the trolley where it kills one person. The dilemma here is that which is the more ethical option? Upon facing the situation, I assume, many people would choose to pull the lever. I myself might end up doing the same. However, t here are m...

News - facts or story?

“The man who reads nothing at all is better educated than the man who reads nothing but newspapers.” ―  Thomas Jefferson In the times that we suppose are unprecedented, it is not the ubiquitously luring dangers of the pandemic that scare me the most but it is the news; something that we are more exposed to than the disease itself.  Open any news channel at any time (although maybe when they are actually reporting a piece of news and not discussing celebrity hairstyles or hooking up actresses with cricketers or reporting an Instagram video to be the best thing on the internet today) or read any column of any newspaper and you will find the tone of the report to resound that of someone telling their plight or sharing their joy or venting their anger or ranting their frustration. This may not seem a much of a problem as doing all that is the job of a reporter but it is a huge problem. And that is so because when a news report sounds like a story, it means that the reporter has...
