    Poem: पिशाच (Pishach) !!

    Poem : Bhoot – Pishach (Ghost)

    पिशाच !! by Ramta Jogi

    वो शाम के 7 बजे , कलम मेरी थम जाती है ,
    पूजा करने माँ जब मेरे, कमरे में आजा ती है ,
    नादाँ मैं !! इस खलल को,समाज कभी न पाया ,
    क्यों लिखा जो किरदार उस वक़्त ,वो रहा अधूरा साया ?

    फिर देर रात एक अंजनी खनक सुनाई देती है ,
    कानो को मेरे, कुछ लोगों की आवाज़ सुनाई देती है,
    धीमे धीमे इन शोरों से नींद मेरी उड़ जाती है
    आँख खुलते ही नज़र मेरी ,
    खिड़की से कोठरी की और जाती है ,

    माँ कहती है उसमे एक बूढी औरत रहती थी ,
    करती घर का काम वो दिन में, रात को उस में सोती थी,
    करते करते काम वो एक दिन, खुदा को प्यारी हो गयी,
    गयी जबसे वो छोड़ , ये कोठरी पराई हो गयी

    भईया कहते है उस खंडर में एक खौफ छुपा रहता है ,
    जाता नहीं कोई वहां, एक डर बना रहता है
    मुझको भी जाने की सख्त मनाई है उस खंडर में
    न जाने वहां ऐसा तो कौनसा बवंडर दबा रहता है ……

    सो रहे हैं घर के सब , किसी को कुछ भी खबर नहीं
    बीच्च रात्रि की इन गुंजो का, किसी पे कोई असर नहीं !!
    कदम तड़पते हैं मेरे , उठकर वहां जाने को ,
    उस आवाज़ को पहचान ने को, उन चेहरों को जान ने को

    2 कमरे छोड़, एक मंदिर को रास्ता जाता है ,
    मंदिर के पीछे से उस कोठरी का दरवाज़ा आता है

    घबराते घबराते मेरे कदम उस और बढ़ते है ,
    वो सिसकियाँ भरे सनाटे ,
    हवा में और डर पैदा करते है ,
    रात की चादर ओढ़े उस लांटेन संग ,
    मेरा साया भी मेरा पीछा करता है ,
    जैसे जैसे मैं आगे बढ़ूँ,
    अपने साये से भी डर लगता है
    धड़कने तेज़ होते होते ,
    मेरी आहटों से मिल सी जाती है ,
    कुछ कहना चाहती है ये ख़ामोशी , \
    मगर कुछ कह नहीं पाती है

    किवाड़ पे पहुँच जाते ही,अँधेरा और बढ़ जाता है ,
    साया खो जाता है ,लांटेन बुज जाता है ,
    खोल किवाड़ मैं अँधेरे में उस कुटिया को घूरता हूँ
    माचिस से लांटेन चलाके,
    उन आवाज़ों को ताकता हूँ ,

    अनजान उन चेहरों को देख, निशब्द हो जाता हूँ
    चीख अंदर दबी रहती है,अपनी ज़बान खोयी सी पाता हूँ ,

    एक बूढी औरत है वहां, जो जानी पेहचानी लगती है ,
    माँ जैसे सुनती थी, बिलकुल वैसी दिखती है ,
    उसके साथ बैठे लोग ,
    मेरी अधूरी कहानी के किरदार से लगते है ,
    वो रिक्शा वाला, वो पनवाड़ी ,
    वो दुब के मर गए थे जो बच्चे ,
    जैसे मैने सोचे थे, ये चेहरे वैसे लगते है ,

    डरे हुए है वो चेहरे अब
    चीखने को तत्पर है ,
    ये वो भूत – पिचाश, हम कहते जिनको ,
    इन चेहरों पे तो उल्टा डर है
    श्याद ये मरे हुए लोग ,
    डराते नहीं ,
    अँधेरे से खुद डरते है ,
    भटक ते है घर घर
    अपने अंत को तरसते हैं
    खुद को दूर भगाने को ,अपनी कहानी ख़त्म कराने को
    ये इंसान की ओर आते है ,
    डरता देख इंसान को, फिर
    ये चीख़ते हैं चिल्लाते हैं ,

    अब मैं जीवित और ये मृत ,
    चेहरे एक दूजे के ताकते हैं ,
    मेरी कहानी से ही होगी ,
    इनकी कहानी ख़त्म और पूरी ,
    आँखों से ये कहते मुझको ,
    चेहरे से बतियाते हैं ,
    छोडे जो किरदार अधूरे ,
    कल उनको पूरा करना होगा ,
    भुत पिचाश ये हमारे जीवन के ,
    अपना अंत हम से मांगते है

    Book Review: The Polyester Prince (Mr.Dhirubhai Ambani)

    Book Review -The Polyester Prince by Hamish McDonald – Ambani family by Ramta Jogi

    In a legal chamber lined with vellum bound case references, a senior lawyer took an equally stark view. “ Today the fact is that Ambani is bigger than the government,” said the lawyer in all seriousness. “He can make or break Prime ministers. ”

    – The Polyester Prince

    The Polyester Prince, a book published in 1998 by Hamish McDonald is an unauthorized biographical book on the life of the business tycoon, Mr. Dhirubhai Ambani. The man who re-defined business practices in India ignoring the ethical and moral aspects, leading to a company which today is one of the identities of how Modern India is seen across the globe, Reliance.

    Hamish starts the book digging deep into the roots of the man in the center. It goes back to the days of Independence, the partition, Dhirubhai s upbringing, his culture and more on how his upbringing and roots had an impact on what his thoughts came out as he grew.

    It highlights how the culture or community of what Ambani is; Modh Bania was perceived and how Dhirubhai was no different from it.

    The book takes you to the days in Jamnagar. His relationship building, sustaining and using them at some point in his future. The old friends and acquaintances from Dhirubhai s old days eventually became his pillars of support in making Reliance a success.

    The pages explain the rise of a young lad in Aden who decides to start his own business. With that vision, he moves back to India and with support enters the textile industry. Juggling into his trading, learning and unlearning things and screwed thinking, he rose high.

    It highlights Dhirubhai s relation with Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi, Pranav Mukherjee, VP Singh, and even Harshad Mehta. His association with Syndicate bank and many more.

    He was with all of them, either in a good way or bad but he was there. As quoted in one of the paragraphs by Dhirubhai, “I don’t know anyone will ever come to know, how much I was involved in bringing Indira Gandhi back” defines his involvement.

    All his relations worked for him from time to time in profiting reliance. As Dhirubhai says, “I keep two sandals with me. Gold and Silver and as required, give it to the people. I can salute anyone for my work.” What highlights his business in those days was his shrewd mind of using the Bombay stock exchange for his own good. Not officially, but yes he ran it for his profit.

    Policies were made and changed according to his wish, insider information used to reach to him before the announcement. The media was in his control, so where the policymakers. He defined Power. If there was one who can stand against him, there were 10 others to be with him.

    Anyone who had the power to influence was with him. Either their children had business tie-ups with reliance or they had some shareholding in reliance owned companies.

    The book highlights the making of the Reliance and rise of Dhirubhai Ambani along with the penalties, cases and many issues with its name in the center. Specifically talking about his wars with Nusli Wadia(Bombay Dyeing), The Indian Express and the sufferings he faced when the government went against him. But he rose out of all of that because he had money. And during the ’90s the power was shifting from politics to the one who can buy the power.

    By the time things were about to get streamline, it left the entire structure of Government immune to corruption.

    Conclusion:-

    This can be the best book to understand what not to do in business or what should be done to rise in business. The unethical, malpractices and forgery of the Ambani empire is what highlights in defining Reliance. The author has done immense research and came up with a fine book of data and facts.

    This, being my first book of 2020 provided pure entertainment for a reader. With ups and downs, drama and spice, this book shows how the Indian government was being used by someone who was not a part of the government but still ruled it. It could have been a masala entertainer but probably Bollywood might refrain to make it. (Relations matter !!)

    I came across dialogue from a Bollywood movie, “Once upon a time in Mumbai.”

    “Dawood does not live in Mumbai but still rules it.”

    The same goes for this,

    “Ambanis are not a part of the government or power. They are the power”
