Oath in Courts

हमारे मुल्क की अदालतों में आज भी ये परम्परा चली आ रही है 

की जब भी किसी मामले में कोई व्यक्ति गवाही देता है 

तो उसकी गवाही शुरू  करने से पहले उस से कहा जाता है

 की कहो "जो कुछ भी कहूँगा धरम से सच कहूँगा " 

और वह  व्यक्ति चाहे हिन्दू हो या मुसलमान; चाहे वो गवाही सच्ची देने आया हो या फिर झूटी

 ये कहते हुए उसकी जुबां जरूर लडखडाती है,

 या फिर वो शख्स इस पंक्ति को इतनी दबी हुई जुबां से कहता है की मानो इसे कहना ही  न चाहता हो.

बेशक बयान देने से पहले, या ब्यान देने के दौरान, या ब्यान देने के  बाद में अमुक व्यक्ति की आवाज़ खूब बुलंद रहती हो मगर शपथ लेते हुए सब की हालत खस्ता होती देखि जाती है, 

ऊपर से भले हे आत्मविश्वास  से कहे मगर व्यक्ति शपथ के वक़्त जुबान दबा लेता है।

इससे ये बात तो  होती है के आज भी इंसान के दिल में खुदा का खौफ कायम रहता है भले हे वो लाख गलत काम कर ले।

ये परंपरा अंग्रेजो ने शुरू की थी और उनके वक़्त में तो हिन्दुओ को गीता पर और मुसलमानों को कुरआन पर हाथ रखवा कर कसम दिलाई जाती थी।

अंग्रेजो ने इंसान की इस फितरत को बखूबी पहचान लिया था और इसीलिए अदालतों में यह परंपरा की नीव उन्होंने रखी  होगी।। 

हालांकि लोगो को मैंने शपथ लेने के बाद भी झूट बोलते देखा है.

 यहाँ तक की मैंने खुद वकील होने के नाते  अपना काम निकलने की नीयत से  झूटी गवाहियां दिलवाई है, और मेरे सिखाये हुए उन झूठे  गवाहों ने अपना काम बखूबी अंजाम भी दिया , 

मगर वो लोग भी धरम की कसम लेते हुए हिचकते और बचते देखे गए।

एक बात और साफ़ होती है की जब तक इंसान खुदा का खौफ  खाता रहेगा  जमीन से क़यामत दूर हे रहेगी।

Cheap is always Cheap

yesterday, i bought a new shaving razor of brand name Laser Ultra, it's a traditional single Blade shaving equipment with cartridge of 5 blades @65/-,
i was quite happy with this economic shopping......
But to my surprise...
Next morning when i start using this newly bought equipment, with very first stoke of it on my face i entitled myself with a famous Hindi abusive word C****A.
this razor and blade is so cheap & worst kind of that i continued to abuse myself with this cheap shopping till i complete shaving.
first, the loading system of Blade is of third class,
even carrying it in hand & using on face is also uncomfortable,
secondly, Blade fails to give me a smooth shaving experience,
it gives 3-4 cuts on face and i feel rashes whole day.
overall experience of shaving with this bloody cheap, worst, third class equipment is really bad for me after several years.
from long time i was using the Razor of my Father which he bought some 25 years before from Nepal, and preferred the Blade brand 7o clock - Platinum,it's single blade costs about Rs11/-, whereas the pack of 5 blades of this Laser ultra brand costs Rs 10/- , this means single blade of my preferred brand is costlier then the pack of this worst Blade which i bought in impression of Cheap & Best.
though from past few weeks i was using Gillette Presto, though this is also cheap but a good razor which company marketed as Ready Shaver.
from today onwards i prefer to remain unshaven but never use such worst shaving equipments.

Panch-Parmeshwar

In India Panchayats are so much so important that its quite amazing to see their effect on the mindset of the peoples,
I was brought up in a metropolitan city which is also the national capital, where we just know about law and order and nothing pertaining to 'Panchayats' are available for us to see.
Today in a district court of Haryana (Mewat at NUH) where the meeting is organized for the forthcoming elections of 'Bar Association' to be held next month,
Highly qualified advocates (masters in knowledge & applicability of LAW) decides to form a 'Panchaayt' and authorized them to select the Office bearers of the BAR.

More then 200 learned Advocates choose a panel of 11 Advocates from themselves and termed them as 'panchayat'
This 'Panchayat' hold a meeting of 15 minutes and declares the panel of Office Bearers for BAR which hold this office for next one year.
This BAR consist of Advocates from all sects of life, like age, religion, qualification,knowledge,status, etc,
Everyone accept the choice of so called 'Panchayat' without any objection.
its eye opening to see how highly educated peoples prefers 'Panchayat' decision instead of going through the democratic system of election.
Though the decision of this 'Panchayat' is highly appreciable, as they formed a panel which is far from any prejudice.
They all believe in the phrase "Panch-Parmeshwar" this is also a famous story by "Munshi Premchand."
I read this story while studying English literature in University of Delhi, at that time i failed to understand exactly what author knows/felt about these Panchayats....now i am getting what Premchand is talking about in his famous work...

Deserve & Desire

"FIRST DESERVE THEN DESIRE"

Today, for the first time in my life i hear this famous saying, though it is too late for the person like me who love reading and have a huge bank of such things,
well 'Better Late then Never',
Till the time i encountered this proverb strings of my mind are constantly vibrating,
Suddenly few big questions from my cold bag jump outside and are giving me nightmare in day light.
It's quite difficult to accept that the things which i was desiring from the past several years - i do not deserve them..???
Everyday i was blaming external factors like Destiny, Parents, God (If any), Society etc. for the things i am not getting in my life which i want.

Now, the question of DESERVE arise....
It feels absolutely strange when i found that i am not even getting the things i Deserve completely....
I personally know Dozens of people who told me on one or more occasions about the things i deserve but i am still far from them, even few of my constant critics (including me) agreed on this fact.

One more funny fact is that there are also few things in my life for which i found my self absolutely Deserving but i do not Desire them any.....

What 2 do॥????
