भँवर


एक भँवर है अंतर्मन

और एक भँवर संसार 

किस में डूबें किस में उबरें 

कैसे जायें पार


अंतरमन की प्यास अलग है

ना माँगे घर व्यापार

गाड़ी बांग्ला नौकर चाकर 

ना उसको आंवें रास


भक्ति ञान की गंगा कलकल

करती जहां प्रवाह

ऐसे की अम्बर के नीचे

अंतरमन ढूँढे छाँव


ध्यान, तर्क की सीढी चढ़कर 

झांके ये उस पार

ज्ञान और सच जहां विराजें

वहीं करे ये वास


ना स्वाद सुगंध का बोध

ना सर्दी गर्मी से लाचार

ना प्रेम पाश में ये सुख पावे

रूपवती कितने हों नर और नार


संसार की बहती गंगा का पर

अपना अलग बहाव

रूप रंग और सोने की  कीयहाँ 

छलकें लहर हज़ार


सुख के पीछे दुख के आगे 

भागे ये दिन रात

वासनाओं के पंजे में ये

ख़ुद का करे विनाश


भव सागर में हिचकोले खाती

जीवन की ये नाँव

अटल सत्य के दुर्गम तट तक इसको

पहुँचाए ना संसार


अंतरमन ही राह दिखाये

अन्तर्मन ही दे साथ

अंतर्मन ही हाथ थामकर

ले जाये उस पार


एक भँवर है अंतर्मन

और एक भँवर संसार 

किस में डूबें किस में उबरें 

कैसे जायें पार

Maher - By Nayana Gadkari

October 4th, 2025,  the hostess announced my mother's arrival at her 80th birthday party, and she rolled in like the Queen that she was, escorted by my brother and me, her greatest treasure. She looked resplendent in an ivory Paithani saree picked out by me, the pearls around her delicate and proud neck selected most lovingly by my brother, and together we had chosen the perfect song to accompany her, Champion by Carrie Underwood. The lyrics "I am invincible, unbreakable, unstoppable, unshakable, I am a Champion" reverberated through the room as she slowly turned around and smiled her dazzling smile worth its own sunrise. The entire room erupted in cheers, filled with her legacy. We had put out a clarion call to celebrate her milestone year, and everyone answered. They all knew of her fierce battle with Parkinson's and the brain surgery in its wake; they knew this was a conquest wrested from the jaws of death. As they waited for the birthday girl to arrive, many of th...

The Girl, The City and The Marathon - By Nayana Gadkari

Image
                                                             “Nayana, I see an airplane flying really low, it is coming close to the towers, where are you? This doesn’t look normal!” My husband, screaming in utter disbelief, was on the phone with me from across the river in Jersey City; I had just stepped off the train at the World Trade Center. Two years before that terrible day, I had flown into New York City from Mumbai, bright-eyed, bushy-tailed, a blushing new bride. The first thing I saw as our airplane gradually descended to what was to be my new home were those gleaming towers. I remember staring at them in wide-eyed wonder, at their sheer size, at the vertical space they occupied as they rose majestically into the New York skyline on a beautiful, brilliant blue August afternoon! As luck would have it, my first job in my adopt...

"Behind Every Successful Man: The Unseen Contributions of a Woman"

Image
  Everyone has heard of the phrase. It takes a village to raise a kid. However, what does it take for someone to be successful at work?  Long hours at work?  Yes, definitely. Education, Experience, and Expertise in what to do? Yes, for sure. All those are needed to succeed at work. But what about the invisible factors that attribute towards one’s success? What about those unseen never acknowledged people that are the backbone, contributing towards a person‘s success at work?  Recently two famous personalities had become viral when they promoted a 70 and 90 hour a week work culture. While I would reserve my views on that, what about the people who actually want to work to kind of hours? Who takes care of their family while they work those insane hours? Who takes care of stuff at their home? Who takes care of their kids if they do decide to have a family? In most cases, it would perhaps be a housewife or homemaker as I like to call them who takes care of stuff for them...
