टूटने की गूँज
सोचती कुछ ,कर कुछ और जाती हूँ .
अब तो सोचने कि सोच से भी डर लगता हैं ,
सपने तो सबके टूटते हैं ,
यहाँ तो सोचने से पहले ही टूटने कि गूँज से डर जाती हूँ .
क्या मेरे साथ ही हमेशा ना इंसाफी होती हैं ,
या मैं ज़िन्दगी को जी ही नहीं पाती हूँ ,
लोग कहते हैं सोचो नहीं ,
वो क्या जाने की सोचने की सोच से ही मैं कितना डर जाती हूँ .
नींद टूटने पर तो सब चौक जाते हैं ,
यहाँ तो खुली आखों मैं ही उनकी पुकार से चौक जाती हूँ .
मुझे नहीं कोई समझ पाया ,
या मुझे समझ के भी कोई समझना नहीं चाहता .
हर दिन क़ी शुरुआत एक नयी उम्मीद के साथ करती हूँ ,
और हर रात उस उम्मीद की टूटने की गूँज के साथ सो जाती हूँ .
अब तो आदत हो गयी हैं इस गूँज की ,
की एक दिन भी छूट जाए ,
और उम्मीद पूरी होती नज़र आये तो यकीं नहीं कर पाती हूँ ,
इस उधेड़ - बुन मैं उस पल को भी गवां देती हूँ ,
और फिर उसकी टूटने कि गूँज के साथ सो जाती हूँ .

I hate love stories
Nor it is any technical appreciation of the film.
It is direct from me what i felt.
Debutant director Punit Malhotra's I hate love stories reminded me of the horrible maths class.I in almost same way took deep breath after the movie was over and said ,"I hate love stories HENCE PROVED",as i always did after finishing my maths problems.This movie is the typical chaat of spicy scenes from different romantic movies .I felt as if i was watching natya roopaantaran of various scenes of big hit movies. .Songs are good and serve like chatni to swallow the boiled khichldi i.e plot of movie.Things and emotions everything is shown in extremes.
One more thing which I felt while I was watching was if i was watching the making of a movie and the lead actors were playing the role of jesters to break the monotony.
If you hate love stories then this is not your choice and if you love Love stories don't watch
otherwise you will start hating love stories.This is how the title I hate love stories is justified

Colorless “Rangpuri Pahadi”
Rangpuri Pahaadi is a slum area near Ryan International School,Chatarpur in New Delhi, here people live in congested small houses with an improper drainage system and unhygienic conditions.
One side of the road has no water supply and on the other side there is water supply but only for 10 minutes in a day.
These people have innumerable complaints about their living conditions but there is no one to listen to their woes.
According to them politicians come to ask for their votes and make false promises but they are never fulfilled.
Inter-Caste
Caste differences in this area is very prevalent as some people consider the “others” as untouchables and inhuman, the situation is extreme as they don’t even share the only tube well they have in their area and prefer to get their own water tanks even if it means sacrificing other basic necessities of education their children and electricity.
Health Hazards
They have stagnant water at different places which is resulting in the spread of chronic diseases.
Though there is doctor stationed near their dwelling ground but he is not well qualified and is absent from the ill equipped clinic most of the times.
Education
Most of the children don’t go to school due to limited income of their family.
They have a small government school nearby which only teaches up to the 5th grade.
Money is a big hurdle in their way so many drop out of school mid-way and help their parents either at household chores or generate income by working as laborers or domestic helps at other home’s.
An Outsider's View
His motive to come to India was to get an insight to the plight of the children who run away from their homes and help them in every way he could.
In his view there are 2 primary reasons for kids to run away in the west which are FREEDOM AND DRUGS. He found that the situation in India was very similar too as children here too craved for freedom from poverty, abuse and despair.
He also said that children in the west were more aware of their rights and could not be forced to live in shelter homes like that of Salaam Baalak as the shelter home here is locked all the time and the children are not allowed to move around on the streets at their own will.
He told us about the huge industry in the western countries which connect the interested volunteers to various NGO’s based in India and how the volunteers come to India for a few weeks just for the satisfaction they get. Though these volunteers often are not able to contribute much due to lack of knowledge on what has to be done.
