Composing on the typewriter, I find that I am sloughing off all my long sentences which I used to dote upon. Short, staccato, like modern French prose. The typewriter makes for lucidity, but I am not sure that it encourages subtlety.
A day before Diwali
Giving the insight of festivities
With the boom of crackers
And sparking of diyas
Welcome the real celebrations
Of big day with open arms.
Aarzu Ye Nhi Ke Gham Ka Tufaan Tall Jaye,
Fikar To Ye Hai Ke Tumhara Dil Na Badal Jaye,
Kabhi Bhi Mujh Ko Agar Bhulana Chaho Tum,
To Dard Itna Dena Ke Mera Dum Nikal Jaye…
Dil dhadakne ka sabab yaad aaya
Woh teri yaad the ab yaad aaya
Badi mushkil se din guzara tha
Phir tere wada-e-shab yaad aaya
Baith kar saya-e-gul main Nasir
Hum bohat roye woh jab yaad aaya
You can feel nothing but a torment, and believe nothing but a lie. You will not raise your head to look at all the miracles of life that surround you; but you will run ten miles to see a fight or a death.
In the woods, too, a man casts off his years, as the snake his slough, and at what period soever of life, is always a child. In the woods is perpetual youth. Within these plantations of God a decorum and sanctity reign, a perennial festival is dressed, and the guest sees not how he should tire of them in a thousand years. In the woods we return to reason and faith.
A man is known by the books he reads, by the company he keeps, by the praise he gives, by his dress, by his tastes, by his distastes, by the stories he tells, by his gait, by the notion of his eye, by the look of his house, of his chamber; for nothing on earth is solitary but every thing hath affinities infinite.
Dost Ki Yaad Se Badi Koi Daulat Nahi Hoti;
Sath Rehna Hi Dost Ki Jarurat Nahi Hoti;
Duriyan Kardeti Hai Yadoon Ko Jinda;
Warna Yadoon Ki Koi Keemat Nahi Hoti!
A stronger race will drive out the weaker ones, for the vital urge in its ultimate form will break down the absurd barriers of the so called humanity of individuals to make way for the humanity of nature which destroys the weak to give their place to the strong.
