Following is an excerpt from my book 'I AM NOT NITIN’ - I could have more than billions of names by just replacement of time place and parents to which I am born. Our birth is just accidental. The name with which I identify much saying I am so and so and I belong to such a family is just accidental. So, I was born nameless but as a hope for my family. Someday this child could possibly raise the name of the family by becoming successful. I think every father and mother in this world asks this question to their child, "What will you become; A doctor or engineer, someone big." The question shows the longing of parents for their child to achieve something in society. And the name is just not a name; it is also a projection of this longing, this desire. In India, some of the families have a tradition of giving a name to the child ceremonially, and the ceremony is named as, ‘Naam karan sanskar’. The ceremony includes giving a name to the child by so...

संवेदनायें

संवेदनायें मंदिर के बाहर जूतों का झुंड पड़ा हुआ था। उसी झुंड के बीच एक फटा-पुराना जूता एक नए जैसे चमचमाते हुए जूते को निहार रहा था। सोच रहा था कि कुछ बात हो जाती तो समय अच्छा कट जाता। लेकिन ये जनाब तो अपने बगल में पड़ी सैंडल से बाते करने में मस्त थे और ऐसे हालात में एक फटे-पुराने जूते को कौन पूछे। जूता एक अमीर आदमी का था और सैंडल भी अच्छे घराने की थी। इसलिए बाते भी खूब हो रही थीं। उधर फटा-पुराना जूता समझ चुका था कि कोशिश करना बेकार है और वो शांत ये सारी घटनाएं देख रहा था। थोड़ा मुस्कुरा भी रहा था, ये सोच करके कि इन्हें नहीं पता कि एक दिन इनके साथ भी यही होना है। उसे वो दिन याद आ रहे थे जब वो भी एक अमीर के पैरों की शान हुआ करता था। लेकिन कुछ दिन इस्तेमाल करने के बाद उस अमीर ने उसे अपने यहां काम कर रहे एक मज़दूर को दे दिया। उसके बाद से वो मज़दूर ही उसका साथी था। साथी इसलिए क्योंकि उस मज़दूर को उसकी कीमत पता थी। अमीर तो उसका मालिक था लेकिन ये गरीब मज़दूर उसको इज़्ज़त देता था। अमीर उसका इस्तेमाल करने के बाद उसे ऐसे फेंक देता था जैसे अब वो कभी उसे छुएगा भी नहीं। और ऐसा कई बार होता भी था कि ...

Excerpts from the books of Author Nitin

Friends below are the excerpts from Author Nitin's books in a single post. 1 . Excerpt from the book 'I AM NOT NITIN' " Once, Bodhidharma reached China. The King was waiting at the border to welcome him. He was a popular man. But, the King was surprised, “what type of man is this?" Bodhidharma was wearing his shoes on his ears as if they were not shoes but earrings. The King was surprised. He stood across a man who looked like a madman - as if possessed by a ghost. Any normal person would be scared of his looks. But people love this man as a saint should be loved. Even the King was waiting to welcome him. Bodhidharma was a great saint and a very knowledgeable person. No one could compete with his qualities. He was incomparable. He was just like Buddha; nothing less than that, but, a furious-looking man. So the King started to think, he was mistaken to have recognized this man as the great Bodhidharma.  maybe  this man is just a f...

In India most of the marriages are arranged, love marriages are rare.

But after getting the right job, getting confident enough that I could now afford a marriage, I decided finally, to marry. For the purpose, I gave an advertisement in a newspaper, so the right person could approach us. So many photographs were sent to me, but on seeing that particular photo, I was so pleased and felt a great love, which I had never felt for any other girl;...
