Two Ways to Look at Life | The Only StoryDilip Barad
There were two ways of looking at life; or two extremes of viewpoint, anyway, with a continuum between them.
One proposed that every human action necessarily carried with it the obliteration of every other action which might have been performed instead; life therefore consisted of a succession of small and large choices, expressions of free will, so that the individual was like the captain of some paddle steamer chugging down the mighty Mississippi of life.
The other proposed that it was all inevitability, that pre-history ruled, that a human life was no more than a bump on a log which was itself being propelled down the mighty Mississippi, tugged and bullied, smacked and wheedled, by currents and eddies and hazards over which no control was possible.

8. के दार नाथ स िंह की एक बेहतरीन कविता- विद्रोह
आज घर में घु ा
तो िहािं अजब दृश्य था
ुननये- मेरे बबस्तर ने कहा-
यह रहा मेरा इस्तीफा
मैं अपने कपा के भीतर
िाप जाना चाहता हिं
उधर कु ी और मेज़ का
एक िंयुक्त मोचाा था
दोनों तड़पकर बोले-
जी- अब बहुत हो चुका
आपको हते- हते
हमें बेतरह याद आ रहे हैं
हमारे पेड़
और उनके भीतर का िह
जज़िंदा द्रि
जज की हत्या कर दी है
आपने
उधर आलमारी में बिंद
ककताबें चचल्ला रही थीिं
खोल दो-हमें खोल दो
हम जाना चाहती हैं अपने
बािं के जिंगल
और समलना चाहती हैं
अपने बबच्छु ओिं के डिंक
और ािंपों के चुिंबन े
पर ब े अचधक नाराज़ थी
िह शॉल
जज े अभी कु छ ददन पहले कु ल्ल े ख़रीद लाया था
बोली- ाहब!
आप तो बड़े ाहब ननकले
मेरा दुम्बा भेड़ा मुझे कब े
पुकार रहा है
और आप हैं कक अपनी देह
की कै द में
लपेटे हुए हैं मुझे
उधर टी.िी. और फोन का
बुरा हाल था
ज़ोर-ज़ोर े कु छ कह रहे थे
िे
पर उनकी भाषा
मेरी मझ े परे थी
-कक तभी
नल े टपकता पानी तड़पा-
अब तो हद हो गई ाहब!
अगर ुन कें तो ुन
लीजजए
इन बिंदों की आिाज़-
कक अब हम
यानी आपके ारे के ारे
कै दी
आदमी की जेल े
मुक्त होना चाहते हैं
अब जा कहािं रहे हैं-
मेरा दरिाज़ा कड़का
जब मैं बाहर ननकल रहा था.
