One of my favourite Rubai from Madhushala by Harivanshrai Bachchan... मदिरालय जाने को घर से चलता है पीनेवाला, 'किस पथ से जाऊँ ?' असमंजस में है वह भोलाभाला, अलग-अलग पथ बतलाते सब पर मैं यह बतलाता हूँ - राह पकड़ तू एक चला चल पा जाएगा मधुशाला । Since it's a literature of Chhayavaadi yug, Madhushala here is basically a metaphor.. Think of your aim as this Madhushala. Take a route and persevere.. You will succeed.
Laut jaati hai udhar ko bhi nazar kya keejay, Ab bhi dilkash hai tera husn magar kya keejay, Aur bhi dukh hain zamaane me mohabbat ke siwa, raahatein aur bhi hain wasl ki rahat ke siwa... Wasl = Union (with beloved) Edit : Maano Na Maano.. Wasl ki raahat se behtar kuchch nahi..
A young officer was on his round when one of the riflemen did not notice him and missed saluting him.
The youngster got cheesed off and summoned the Gorkha and asked him the reason for not saluting him. The Gorkha innocently gave out the reason that he did not see "Lieutenant Huzoor".
The youngster not convinced, punished the Gorkha to a thousand salutes. The soldier immediately started saluting...
Field Marshal Sam who was passing by and asked the youngster as to what was happening.
The youngster said, "Sir, this soldier had the audacity of not saluting me. So I have punished him with 1000 salutes."
Sam replied, "Bloody good punishment young man, but ensure that you return each of his salutes.”
For the next two hours the unit was treated to a scene of a Gorkha saluting and the young officer returning each of his salutes.
