Poem : कितना कुछ खोते हैं

आज मुझे इस कविता को, काव्य बद्ध करने की प्रेरणा, मेरी प्रिय सखी ऋतु श्रीवास्तव  द्वारा भेजे गए इस चित्र और सुबह के विवरण के लिए लिखी गई पंक्तियों से मिली है।

तो प्रिय सखी, आज की यह कविता आप के ही नज़र

कितना कुछ खोते हैं

जब हम सुबह

देर तक सोते हैं,

कभी सोचा है

कितना कुछ खोते हैं?

खोते हैं एक,

खुशनुमा सुबह।

जो देती हैं जिन्दगी को,

जीने की वजह।।

खोते हैं हम,

पक्षियों का कलरव।

जिन्दगी से भरा हुआ,

सबसे मीठा स्वर।।

खोते हैं हम,

पक्षियों के झुंड का दृश्य।

दिखती है एकता वहीं,

मनुष्यों में तो हो गई अदृश्य।।

खोते हैं हम,

मौसम की ठंडी सरगोशी।

जो चंचल मन को छूते ही,

दे देती ठहराव सी खामोशी।।

खोते हैं हम,

शुद्ध प्राण वायु।

जिसका ही नतीजा है,

हो रही है कम आयु।।

कितना कुछ मिलता है,

हमें सुबह सवेरे।

जिसके लिए हम,

कुछ भी नहीं चुकाते हैं।

फिर क्यों इतना कुछ,

मात्र चंद घंटों की,

नींद के लिए गंवाते हैं?

Tip : Hair-fall solution

Many people, nowadays, suffer from hair-fall* problem. This problem increases in winters, which is all-set to arrive.

Do you also face this problem? Then what are you waiting for? Read this tip of mine and make benefit out of it.

Hair-fall solution

• Do not shampoo daily. You can do so once or atmost twice a week.
• Give your hairs an oil massage every week.
• Don't apply the shampoo directly onto your scalp, always apply it after diluting it with a little amount of water. This will not let shampoo to concentrate on any area of your scalp.
• Remember, while using conditioner, don't let it come in contact with your scalp.
• Don't stress your hairs by tying them tight or pulling them.

Some homemade remedies to control hair fall are:

1. Take fresh coconut. Grind it, to get it in milky form. Massage your head with this. After 5 - 10 minutes, do shampoo.
2. Take a raw egg. Discard the yolk from it. Massage your head from the remaining portion(white part of the egg). After 5 - 10 minutes, do shampoo. {As the yolk has been discarded, your hairs won't smell, after this therapy.}
3. Take out the pulp from the leaves of aloe vera plant. Mix water to the pulp and then massage your head with it. After 5 - 10 minutes, do shampoo.
4. Grind Amla (Indian gooseberry). Mix it with water and massage your head with it. After 5 - 10 minutes, do shampoo.

• Increase Vitamin C, Iron and Calcium rich food in your diet. Don't forget to have leafy vegetables.

*If you have a hair fall ratio above 150 per day in winters, then you can term this as hair-fall.
