इस बार

 मैं और तुम
मानो रेल की दो पटरियां
चलते रहे हमेशा समांतर
मिले भी तो फिर राह बदल ली
और गुज़रती रहीं किसी रेल सी
हम पर यह परिस्थितियां
हर बार हम रहे प्रतीक्षा में
अगली रेल की !
किसी गंतव्य पर पहुँच कर
तुम रुकी भी अगर
न चाहते हुए भी रुक पाया मैं
दूसरे प्लेटफार्म पर
कितना विवश हो जाता था मैं जब
गुज़रती थी एक जैसी रेल हम दोनों पर
मैं और तुम
मिले जो अगली बार
राह बदलने की जगह
बन जायेंगे एक ही पटरी हम !!

OROP: A DROP IN THE OCEAN 1.  Last few days have seen some unprecedented actions, reactions and lack of action regarding "demand" of OROP by veterans of Indian Armed Forces. Debates on audio and visual media, messages on social media and heated arguments over a glass of beer in messes / clubs have focused on how successive Govts have failed to fulfill long standing demand of OROP, how the wily bureaucrats are putting spokes in its implementation, the base year for calculations and the estimates of budgetary allocations and cash outgo for the treasury.

People in armed forces - both serving and veterans are agitated that their 'dues' are not being given and that while others like MTNL/BSNL losses of 10000 Cr are being written off, $ 10 Billion aid is being given to Nepal and 6000 Cr worth loans have been waived off, Govt is nickpicking and calculating how it can save a few / few h...

  SAFE BROWSING Understanding Your Computer: Web Browsers How do web browsers work? A web browser is an application that finds and displays web pages. It coordinates communication between your computer and the web server where a particular website "lives." When you open your browser and type in a web address (URL) for a website, the browser submits a request to the server, or servers, that provide the content for that page.

After the browser has gathered and processed all of the components, it displays the complete, formatted web page. Every time you perform an action on the page, such as clicking buttons and following links, the browser continues the process of requesting, processing, and presenting content. How many browsers are there? There...

  ATTACKS AND THREATS- I Dealing with Cyber-bullies What is cyber-bullying? Cyber-bullying refers to the new, and growing, practice of using technology to harass, or bully, someone else. Bullies used to be restricted to methods such as physical intimidation, postal mail, or the telephone. Now, developments in electronic media offer forums such as email, instant messaging, web pages, and digital photos to add to the arsenal. Computers, cell phones, and PDAs are new tools that can be applied to an old practice. Forms of cyber-bullying can range in severity from cruel or embarrassing rumors to threats, harassment, or stalking. It can affect any age group; however, teenagers and young adults are common victims, and cyber-bullying is a growing problem in schools. Why has cyber-bullying become such a problem? The relative anonymity of the internet is appealing for bullies because it enhances the intimidation and makes tracing the activity more difficult. Some bullies also fin...
