Gentle Reminder to All Evaluation Committees

When we, as individuals or as a committee member, are entrusted with the responsibility of evaluating others, we are empowered to look beyond our immediate work areas and personal affiliations. This responsibility must be carried out with the utmost integrity, fairness, and sense of purpose. It calls upon us to rise above personal preferences and be guided solely by performance, intent, and potential . Any influence beyond this — whether it stems from personal comfort, regional familiarity, or social bias — is not just an ethical lapse. It is, in essence, a quiet injustice to merit , and may deeply undermine the morale and spirit of a sincere and committed individual. Let us collectively strive to uphold a higher standard — one that honours merit above all. Anything less would be a disservice to the values we are meant to uphold, and to the institution we represent. #MeritMatters #IntegrityInEvaluation #LetFairnessLead  

Presence of intent can outplay the absence of content.

Whispers of Mind That Keep Us Awake In a world obsessed with polished words, glossy presentations, and rehearsed speeches, we often forget the quiet power of intent. You may not have all the right words, you may fumble, pause, or even stand empty-handed when content is scarce. But if your intent is pure—if you truly care, if you genuinely wish to contribute, uplift, or simply be there—it echoes louder than perfection ever could. Intent brings soul to silence, purpose to presence, and meaning to every unfinished sentence. Let this be a gentle reminder: When you walk into a room, into a conversation, or into a moment—walk in with presence, with purpose. The rest will follow. And even if it doesn’t, your intent will still leave a mark. If content is the fruit then the intent is the root. — #InspiredWhispers of a Nomadic Mind

निस्तब्ध चीखें

सुन पाता हूँ , निरन्तर  दसों दिशाओं से आती हुई , कभी निस्तब्ध, तो कभी ध्वनित बिल्कुल प्रखर भाव, कभी प्रत्यक्ष और प्रकट बहुधा नेपथ्य से और परोक्ष, श्वासों के अनुकम्पनों की, प्रतिध्वनि, गूंज और , जीवितों के जीवन से निरन्तर एक अनुनाद।

मैं अक्सर हार जाता हूँ।

Image
मैं अक्सर हार जाता हूं ,  तुम्हे बार-बार पाने को, और तुम जो जीत जाती हो, तो मैं भी जीत जाता हूँ। एक मुस्कुराहट सी, जो  फ़िज़ा में फैल जाती है,   मैं भी महक के झूम जाता हूँ । मैैं अक्सर डूब जाता हूँ,और तुम मुझमें तैर जाती हो । मैं शायद, बुड्ढा होने की  हद तक, बड़ा हो गया हूं , और तुम छोटी बच्ची  सी  सुंदर और कोमल ....।   तुम्हारे जीत जाने से मैं दुबारा खेल पाता हूं।... जीवन  में जीवंतता सी, हमेशा जीतती रहना , की मै इसी बात से निरन्तर जीवंत होता हूँ।

Writing to me

Image
Drafts are nothing less than an individual's craft. Likewise, for a writer, writing is both an expression and a subtle yet profound art—an instrument that breathes life, motion, and voice into an abstract idea, object, or subject. In that fleeting moment of creation, where thought meets the craft of words, the abstract transforms into an eternal expression, capturing the essence of time and space.

A path to least resistance

Image
Living with sabar (perseverance and patience), loving with a sense of dua (prayer), and letting go with tawakkul (trust in divine will)—perhaps this is the path of least resistance to the cosmic will, where we enter a divine and deliberate flow of grace that transcends our insignificant selves.  That is precisely what Guru Nanak Sahib begins with: 'Hukam rajai chalna, Nanak likhya naal.'"

तुम- जीवन सी

Image
तुम !  कभी पूर्णतः...मेरी होना मत,  वरना फिर... मैं चाहूँगा क्या !  रहना इक आरजू अधूरी सी, इक चाहत... ना मुकम्मल सी,  हर रोज़... एक नई ख्वाहिश सी ! तुम रहना मेरे पास, बस मेरी ज़िन्दगी सी.
