सोया हुआ आदमी

जब सोया हुआ आदमी

नींद की आगोश से जगा दिया जाता है

तो भी क्या वह सपनो से बाहर आ पाता है

सोने से पहले और

सोने के बाद कि दुनिया में

सपनों का एक संसार बसता है

क्या आदमी कभी उससे मुक्त हो पायेगा

या तमाम उम्र उन सपनों की लकीरें उसका पीछा करती रहेगी

आदमी आधा जिंदगी जाग कर

और

आधा जिंदगी सोकर बिता देता है

पर क्या उन जागे हुए जिंदगी में भी

वह जगा होता है?

या जागते हुए भी

वह अपने देखे सपनों की ही दुनिया मे होता है

उसका देखा सपना ही उसका संसार है

बाकि जो वो देख रहा है

वह तो किसी और की ख्वाबों का बासिन्दा है।

हताश होता मेरे अंदर का फ़िल्ममेकर।

Saturday | 02 Oct 2021 03:50pm बहुत देर कुर्सी पर बैठे-बैठे खिड़की से बाहर मैं बारिश को देखता रहा। फिर उठकर बाहर निकल आया। कैम्पस के बरामदे में बारिश का पानी टपकने लगा था। बहुत तेज बारिश होने पर ऐसा होता था। शुरू के एक साल कैम्पस कितना खूबसूरत लगता था। अब टपकते पानी को देख लगता है, कैम्पस में छड़ाई की ज़रूरत है। कौवों ने ख़पड़ा उलटा-पलटा दिया होगा। सामने देखने पर मैंने पाया बहुत तेज़ी से कैम्पस की फ़ील्ड से मिट्टी बारिश की पानी में बहने लगा था। थोड़ी देर मैं बारिश को वहीं खड़े देखता रहा। फिर मन हुआ तो फ़ोन से कुछ देर तक रिकोर्ड भी कर लिया। ठंडी हवा चल रही थी। अच्छा लग रहा था। पानी आपके ऊपर गिरे, आपके अंदर गिरे या आपके सामने आपको शीतलता से भर देता है। बिते समय में बहुत परेशान रहा हूँ। इनदिनों लगने लगा है, किसी समुद्र में अकेला फँस गया हूँ। दूर दूर तक पानी है और मेरे पास न तैरने का कौशल और न ही पानी से बच निकलने का कोई रास्ता बचा है। 2018 में मैं बहुत उत्साहित आदमी था। इतना उत्साहित कि एक फ़िचर फ़िल्म बनाने के फ़ैसला लेते हुए मैंने तनिक समय भी नहीं लगाया था। उन दिनों मैं...

... it is more important to bring boys into the kitchen...

The concept of a picnic is prevalent in rural areas. What happens is that the kids and young people gather and go to the forest to have a community gathering over food whether it be the Mango season or Amla ripening season. Elder members of the family are also present there but the responsibility of cooking is unto the younger folks. During this picnic time, ladies become a mentor. Mango and amla chutney is made whe n the season of these fruits is in full force. Recently when the team of @thegirl_film was talking to kids, they got excited about the upcoming New Year's Eve. Together we decided that lunch will happen in the jungle and while cooking, we'll make sure to use maximum resources from nature itself. Groups were divided and in each group, there were 5-7 kids. Girls and boys separately cooked at different locations. It was left on them to figure out what to cook and how to manage the process. On 1 January, everyone began their work. Our team went to the ...

"Living in the jungle, man learns how to be civil"

In the local dialect of our village, a word called “थुथुर” is commonly used to refer to a person who repeats mistakes even after being told not to do so. This word has originated from the name of a plant. In the forest, there is a plant which grows own it own without any care. It is about four feet high, thin-looking and found in a cluster. Because it is of no specific importance, it is oftentimes cut but wherever it is thrown, there it starts regrowing. It is called “थुथुर” plant and “थुथुर” are those people who refuse to change their behaviours and ignore the advice around them. In the forest, there are several plants and trees whose name is used to household references. This shows how much the rural people are attached to their natural resources. And because of this faith-based attachment, these people have their own beliefs when it comes to taking care of the environment. Take the case of bathing in the river. It is considered that when you bath in the river, your misd...

"Nature is the mother of all Education"

Dear Friend Long before modern education and schooling came, there used to be Gurukul. Kings, as well as common men, used to go to the jungle to learn. There was a balance in learning which came from nature plus a teacher. Time passed and big books were written. Our "Environment" became a topic of study and got into the curriculum. But the problems which civilization brought along with it, they remained. We were not stepping into nature. What was happening was conceptual understanding at the level of the brain within the walls of classrooms, libraries, and educational institutions. New generations didn't really step into nature to know about it. But this will take a different direction from now onwards. When the team of "The Girl" started teaching kids, we wanted to make a little progress by our little efforts. Eventually, we came to know that kids have to rebuild their foundation. Despite having lived amidst trees and birds and a river, the...
