Altaf Raja is a type of guy who can summarise my dating life in just one section of his song... Like when he said...

जब तुम से इत्तफ़ाक़न मेरी नज़र मिली थी

अब याद आ रहा है, शायद वो January थी 😏

तुम यूँ मिली दुबारा फिर माह-ए-February में

जैसे कि हमसफ़र हो तुम राह-ए-जिंदगी में 🤫

कितना हसीं ज़माना आया था March लेकर

राह-ए-वफ़ा पे थी तुम वादों की torch लेकर 🤗

बाँधा जो अहद-ए-उल्फ़त, April चल रहा था

दुनिया बदल रही थी, मौसम बदल रहा था 🥰

लेकिन May जब आई, जलने लगा ज़माना

हर शख़्स की ज़बाँ पर था बस यही फ़साना 😤

दुनियां के डर से तुमने बदली थी जब निगाहें

था June का महीना, लब पे थी गर्म आहे 😕

July में जो तुमने की बातचीत कुछ कम

थे आसमाँ पे बादल और मेरी आँखें पुर-नम 🥺

माह-ए-August में जब बरसात हो रही थी

बस आँसुओं की बारिश दिन-रात हो रही थी 😭

कुछ याद आ रहा है, वो माह था September

भेजा था तुमने मुझको तर्क-ए-वफ़ा का letter 😮‍💨

तुम गैर हो रही थी, October आ गया था

दुनिया बदल चुकी थी, मौसम बदल चुका था 🙁

जब आ गया November, ऐसी भी रात आई

मुझसे तुम्हें छुड़ाने सजकर बारात आई 😔

बेकैफ था December, जज़्बात मर चुके थे

मौसम था सर्द उसमें, अरमाँ बिखर चुके थे 😖

लेकिन ये क्या बताऊँ, अब हाल दूसरा है 🤕

अरे, वो साल दूसरा था, ये साल दूसरा है। 😝🫡

tum toh tehre pardesi saath kya nibhaoge...

We have to fix responsibility. Why didn't officers raise an alarm about the dip in water discharge and prepare a proposal to purchase from the Northern Grid. This crisis did not happen overnight. There was a prolonged dry spell for all of us to observe. If there was an elected government, such a crisis would not have happened and the responsibility would have been fixed. It's a collective punishment to all. The Lieutenant Governor should go to Delhi and seek help from the Centre.

अर्धनारीश्वर !!

अर्धनारीश्वर स्वरुप का अर्थ है आधी स्त्री और आधा पुरुष. भगवान शिव के इस अर्धनारीश्वर स्वरुप के आधे हिस्से में पुरुष रुपी शिव का वास है तो आधे हिस्से में स्त्री रुपी शिवा यानि शक्ति का वास है. भगवान का यह रुप संकेत दिया जाता है की स्त्री और पुरुष एक ही सिक्के के दो पहलु हैं और दोनों एक दूसरे के बिना अधूरे हैं.

A half female and male form .. Lord Shiv is ever depicted thus .. Shiv in its half , and the female form is the representation of 'Shakti' - power, strength of women .. the male and the female are two sides of the same coin, and both are incomplete without each other ..

.. and with that acceptance we live and exist in peace and calm .. and in its coincidence comes the opportunity to release a book " Swallowing the Sun", written by Laxshmi Murdeshwar Puri, ex Foreign Service , ex Ambassador of Hungary when I was shooting for my film 'AKS' there ..

Married to Hardeep Singh Puri , ex diplomat and now Minister

A delight to spend time in her company .. and be made aware of her contribution in the UN Womens where she served as Deputy ..

The opening of her book is inspired by ..

.. a story of the book which addresses pan India sentiments, and enumerates the several hidden stories, that become the source of inspiration for women in particular ..

But a delayed day .. primarily because of the miserable defeat of our team last night ..

It's not that we lost , we did not try to win .. complacent , over confident and slack ..

I do not mind losing .. but without a fight, is not acceptable ..

A 'plucky loser' to me is more valuable, than the winner ..

My love

Amitabh Bachchan

Stargazers were treated to an astronomical show this week as an infrequent blue supermoon lights up the night sky, one of the largest and brightest full moons of the year.

Visible from late Sunday through Wednesday, it was the first of the year's four consecutive supermoons. But it's a special instance, because Sunday's supermoon was also a seasonal blue moon — the third full moon in a season of four.

The celestial event probably won't happen again until 2037.

Newly released documents show Canadian involvement in an international investigation of an alleged money laundering ring in the Greater Toronto Area that authorities believe is linked to a man accused of laundering money for terrorists. Altaf Khanani, a Pakistani national, has been on the radar of international law enforcement since at least 2008, when he was arrested in his home country for allegedly transferring money illegally. The U.S. State Department accused Khanani, once described in a media report as "one of the world's most wanted fraudsters," of laundering billions of dollars for organized crime and terrorist outfits, including al-Qaeda and the Taliban.

dil toh hai ek raahi jaana,dil ki tum manzil ho

my heart is like a traveller,you're the destination of my heart

dil toh hai ek kashti jaana,jiska tum saahil ho

my heart is like a boat,whose shore are you

dil na phir kuch maange jaana ,tum agar haasil ho

my heart won't ask for anything,If I attain you

dil toh hai mera tanha jaana ,aao tum mehfil ho

my heart is lonely,there will be celebration if you come

ishq se hi saari khushiyan

all the happiness is with love

ishq hi barbaadi

love is devastation

ishq hai paabandi lekin,ishq hi azaadi

love is a restriction but love is also freedom

ishq ki duniya mein yaaron ,khwaabon ki abaadi

friends, in the world of love,there is a population of dreams

kho gaya woh jisko manzil ishq ne dikhladi

a person loses his senses,when love shows the destination to him

dekho pyare yeh nazare, yeh deewane, yeh parwaane

look my friend, these sights, these lovers, these moths

hai ishq mein kaise gum

are all lost in love

tumse milke dil ka, main hoon na

javed akhtar | sonu nigam | anu malik | altaf sabri |

میرے اندر عیب ہزاراں

تیری صورت پیاری ساری

اوہنے نظراں بھر کے تکیا

پیریں پئی فنکاری ساری

I, riddled with flaws

You, a divine beauty

One full glance of you

Defeats all art miserably

As an armed rebellion against Indian rule raged in Kashmir through the 1990s and 2000s, Jamaat-e-Islami, an influential socio-religious group, called for a boycott whenever an election was held, claiming the exercise was aimed at legitimising what it would describe as New Delhi’s occupation of the Himalayan region, which is also claimed in part or full by Pakistan and China.

But as Kashmir votes in the first regional election in a decade starting on Tuesday, the Jamaat has itself entered the political fray, backing at least 10 candidates in the election. It is a remarkable turnaround for a group that remains banned under India’s anti-terror laws and was once regarded as the mothership of the militant Hizbul Mujahideen.

After Narendra Modi’s government altered India’s constitution in 2019 to do away with the symbolic autonomy of the administrative region of Jammu and Kashmir, it cracked down hard on the separatist movement in the region, jailing thousands of people. The Jamaat, having long been at the vanguard of the movement, was a prime target. Schools associated with the group were ordered shut and the properties of many members were seized in an attempt to curtail its reach and operational capabilities.

As recently as February, the Indian government said that the Jamaat was “continuing to be involved in fomenting terrorism and anti-India propaganda for fuelling secessionism in Jammu and Kashmir, which is prejudicial to the sovereignty, security and integrity of India”.

This is what makes the Jamaat’s participation in the election perplexing, and even experts in the region are divided over what it means. Noor Baba, a renowned Kashmiri political scientist, says it could be a tactical move on the part of a minority within the movement – contesting the election as independents in the hope of “protection or rehabilitating themselves after the suffering they have endured”.

The decision to join the fray, he suggests, may not have involved the group’s jailed leadership. As a result of internal divisions in the past, Prof Baba says, the Jamaat has suffered at the hands of both the Indian authorities as well as the militants. Similar divisions may have cracked open again.

“There are many questions,” he tells The Independent. “Is the top leadership, which is in jail, on board with this or is it not?”

Another theory is that the decision stems from the Jamaat’s desire to have the anti-terror ban lifted. There have been reports about conversations between the Jamaat and intermediaries of the Indian government such as Altaf Bukhari, head of a local political party.

Ahead of this election, Omar Abdullah, the former chief minister of the former state, had urged the Narendra Modi government to lift the ban on the Jamaat to enable its participation in the assembly election. Mehbooba Mufti, another former chief minister and president of the People’s Democratic Party, said she would be “happy” to see the Jamaat return to the electoral arena.

Indian political analyst Apoorvanand Jha, however, sees a more sinister play at work. He says fielding independent candidates is part of a broader strategy of Modi’s BJP to weaken mainstream political parties such as the National Conference and the Congress and reap the dividend.

“The BJP’s aim is to install a government headed by a Hindu chief minister. That can be achieved by securing as many seats as possible in the Jammu region and fielding as many independents as possible in the valley [of Kashmir], making them win and then taking their support to form the government,” he tells The Independent.

The BJP is seeking to control Kashmir politically by creating chaos, he says. “To achieve that,” he adds, “the BJP can do anything. It can go to any extent, play any game, collaborate with the radicals, collaborate with separatists.”

The Independent has contacted the BJP for comment.

India has long held up Kashmir, its only majority Muslim territory, as a symbol of its secularism. But when the BJP government revoked its autonomy, Kashmiris accused the Hindu nationalist party of trying to change its religious demographic by settling Indians from elsewhere in the region.

Mr Jha says the BJP wants to win the election in order to show its core Hindu base that “see, this is a Muslim-populated area which we have now annexed”.

The candidates backed by the Jamaat maintain that their election participation is about local issues.

“Ideologies work in time and space. We have to be accommodative and flexible,” Talat Majeed, who is contesting the Pulwama constituency, told reporters recently.

Another candidate, Sayar Ahmad Reshi, says their participation in the election is necessary to fill a political vacuum created by regional parties such as the National Conference and the People’s Democratic Party.

The Jamaat’s participation seems to have enthused some pro-India factions in Kashmir. “This election is unique in recent times because the banned Jamaat-e-Islami is openly backing and campaigning for independent candidates owing allegiance to it,” Mr Abdullah said in an interview with the Hindustan Times. “This is a huge change from previous elections. Otherwise, ever since I have seen politics here from 1996 onwards, the Jamaat has been at the forefront of trying to stop people from voting.”

Ali Mohammad Watali, a former police chief of Kashmir, isn’t as enthused. The Jamaat was “pro-Pakistan and pro-terrorism”, he was quoted as saying by Frontline magazine. “Now they have changed their stance suddenly. It looks like this is being done by the agencies so that the BJP can form a government here with the help of new political fronts, including the Jamaat-e-Islami.”

“Agencies” is a catch-all term used in Kashmir for the intelligence, security and surveillance apparatus of the Indian state.

The Jamaat candidates have indicated their willingness to form alliances, before or after the election, with any party that works to “restore dignity to the people of Jammu and Kashmir”.

Prof Saddiq Wahid, a senior visiting fellow at the Centre for Policy Research think tank in New Delhi, tells The Independent the BJP’s actions in Jammu and Kashmir since the revocation of its autonomy have been aimed at creating confusion and chaos. “How is Jamaat suddenly into the picture?” he asks.

He fears that the political landscape of Kashmir is being manipulated to dilute local representation and prevent self-governance.

“They do not want the people of Jammu and Kashmir to have a government that will allow them to govern themselves,” he says, referring to the Indian government.

The fundamental question, though, is whether people will trust the candidates backed by the Jamaat, Prof Baba points out. “How many people will vote for them, support them?”
