अपेक्षाएं

अपेक्षाएं....
जब प्रेम से....
बड़ी होने लगती हैं.....
तब....
प्रेम... धीरे धीरे....
मरने लगता है....
विश्वास....
घटने.. लगता है.....
प्रेम में तोल-मोल....
जांच-परख....
घर.. कर लेती है.....
तो प्रेम.....

प्रेम ..नहीं रह जाता.....
विश्वास विहीन जीवन....
कब असह्य हो जाता है......
पता ही नहीं चलता....
जब... पता चलता है....
तब तक.....
बहुत देर हो चुकी होती है....
सिर्फ ,पछतावा ही....
शेष ...रह जाता है....
क्योंकि.... प्रेम....
मर ......चुका होता है.....

मुझ में,,,,, रू-पोश जो इक,,,,, शख़्स है,,,, मर जाएगा.....

Apne haalat se ,,,,,main suleh to,,,kar loon,,,lekin,,
Mujh mein ,,, rooh-posh jo ikk ,,,shaqs hai,,,,mar jaayega .....

Mujhko kaafi hai......मुझ को काफ़ी है....

मुझ को काफ़ी है,,बस ,,इक,, तेरा मुआफ़िक़ होना

सारी दुनिया भी,, मुख़ालिफ़ हो ,,तो..... क्या होता है.......

Main kahaan tak.... मैं कहाँ तक

मैं कहाँ तक,...दिल-ए -सादा को..,भटकने से बचाऊँ 

आँख जब उट्ठे, गुनाहगार, बना दे मुझको...... 

Beyond the Scroll: Unpacking Gen Z's and Zen Alpha's Interests and Missing Skills

 The common interests of the new generation of kids and youngsters (primarily Generation Z and Generation Alpha) are characterized by a deep integration of technology, a focus on visual and short-form content, and a strong drive toward creativity, community, and social awareness.

Here is a breakdown of their primary common interests:

1. Digital & Immersive Entertainment 

• Gaming as a Social Hub: Platforms like Roblox, Minecraft, and Fortnite are not just games; they are the new social spaces or "metaverses."
