During my college days, the world around me was entirely different from the present scenario, where I now face numerous responsibilities and obligations. Those days were marked by the presence of friends nearby, a carefree atmosphere, complete focus on studies, sitting in the park, talking, working, and returning home. One such day, I was sitting in the Delhi University, North Campus park with one of my best friends. We were discussing a variety of jokes, events, family, and other topics. In one such conversation, I explicitly mentioned that I wouldn't be keen to accumulate much in terms of money or wealth. I long for happiness, peace, love, care, and a simple life with a job that has a maximum duration of 9 AM to 2 PM. I insisted that I would never prefer to do any service that could consume my whole day. I would never choose a 9 AM – 5 PM job, irrespective of the salary. My friend laughed at me a lot when I shared my thoughts. She teased me by saying, “Oye Oye Madam Sahiba Ko Job...

I want to write to learn more and contribute more to our society.  I am passionate about reading books, novels, short stories, and some poems, although I'm not as fond of poetry. I would like my son, Chirayu, to learn a great deal so that he, too, can make a valuable contribution to society. My focus is on underprivileged children, with whom I love to spend time, who adore me at Bhavani Shiv Mandir, Asgarpur Village, Sector 128, Noida.                                                                I want to do something for these kids, regardless of their background and family status. They are too notorious to study; I feel storytelling can be a medium to connect with them.  I would like my son to join in this noble cause, as he enjoys listening to new stories. Although he doesn’t love to read on his own. Once he unders...

   The Kitty cat is working on its laptop for its daily routine work to compile. It is sitting in a pose as I usually sit on the sofa. It resembles me while wearing spectacles. It seems I'm interested in drinking a mug of coffee, which I prefer not to do while working. For me, "Work is Worship" with no other distractions in between.  The background wall of Kitty’s room is so full of different poses that it makes me want to add a similar collage to my living room. I love photo shooting, so of course, why not? What I am keen to know is what the Kitty is doing, whether it is reading content on its laptop, watching a movie, a comedy show, Crime Patrol, doing office work, or checking a day-to-day expense list, or whatever. It’s a big mystery for me to uncover. The sofa cum bed on which it is lying gives me a feeling of comfort, which I prefer to work in. This is exactly what I love to do whenever I'm working on digital tasks, whether lying in bed or on the sofa. The walls...

  अगर मैं हवा होती,              धरती हो या आकश, पूरे वायुमण्डल को छू कर आती। मौसमों को प्रभावित करती – गर्मियों में राहगिरों को धूप की ताप से संताप देती। सर्दियों में लोगों के श्र्वसन तंत्र को साफ़ करती। अगर मैं हवा होती, मरू भूमि के चेहरों पर मुस्कान लाती, मथुरा की कुँज गलियों में मंदिरों की घण्टियाँ बजाती। हरिद्वार की हर की पौड़ी में सादर नमन करती, माँ वैष्णौं के चरणों को पसारती॥ अगर मैं हवा होती, समुद्र की लहरों के साथ खेलती, पहाड़ों की कंदराओं में धमाल मचाती। नाचती, गाती, धूम, मचती, चारों ओर बिखरती जाती। अगर मैं हवा होती, जीव-जन्तु, पेड़ पौधों में, सबके भीतर समाती जाती। जग कल्याण का ऐसा परोपकार, हो जाता ये सब संभव। अगर मैं हवा होती, अगर मैं हवा होती॥                                                                   - डॉ. आरती जैन      ...
