The Divine Democracy

I am feeling privileged today, a trually empyrean moment for me as an INDIAN, though this country  is too prone  to be fethched in news  for various  wrong  reasons, ( CORRUPTION , unfortunately  the root behind most of them) But certainly this is an amazing country to live with, in the era of cold war across the globe, I am blessed with the opportunity to fight against the aforementioned giant surprisingly through the Gandhian style, i.e. w/the evince of ahimsa, which could typically take place only in this country….

Everybody is celebrating today, after all our new age satyagrahi ANNA HAZARE has decided to quit his fast till death, as government has agreed most of the demands of the proposed JAN LOKPAL BILL…….

Probably, this is my way of celebration.( one interesting fact that Anna is going to quit fast on the 13th day of this movement, i.e. the celebration day; a message for triksiaidkaphobic west who normally regard the digit 13,as unfortunate,could there be anything so auspicious for our nation....????)

The best part of this movement lies in the people’s comport towards it. The gantry which included various classes, religions, professions ,geographical locations etc.- certainly had one thing in common between them, the indignation caused  by  corruption at every single field of their respective lives and the immense faith in the noble motives of Hazare, which will pull them out of this ever increasing evil, for sure.

The world is trually spellbound by this kind of Andolan, which happened so peacefully because an altruistic activist, their messiah has urged them to do so, such a pious notion - actually this justifies one quotation I was almost annoyed of,in my childhood as my friend used to include it in all her debates,by default (and used to compliment it with the cadence) 

ऋषियों मुनियों की धरती है ये भारती

गाओ मंगल गीत उतारो आरती

Well said, actually..

This movement could connect itself with billions of people, only on the ground of reality - the considerable number of celebrities too were associated, along with some prominent names of civil society – Arvind Kejriwal, Prashant Bhushan, Kiran Bedi, Shanti Bhushan; most of them ,earlier bureaucrats and Magsaysay award winners. Today the sincere actor  AAMIR KHAN too supported for Anna Hazare and requested him to relinquish the ANSHAN, I will appreciate his move, that atleast he took the initiative and has shown interest in the enforcement of Jan lokpal bill by his physical presence at the Ramlila Maidan.. ( this lucidly, justifies why I am die-hard fan of this actor,kudos…)

Now, one more entity for which it proved quite expedient ,” INDIAN CRICKET TEAM”, since this movement  grabbed all the attention of public along with Media, nobody bothered their historical loss against England, well Dhoni & his men must be thankful to Hazare and movement , which has escaped them from harangue of their fans and experts…

(I doubt whether these players were protesting against corruption by not winning any of their matches until the bill passes, hehehehehehe ) well……… forget it all,

the debate is initiated in the Parliament and we hope to receive the powerful and candid JAN LOKPAL BILL..................god bless

The need of the hour (part-2)

5^th day of the fast at the Ramlila ground Delhi went well, Dr. Naresh  Trehan confirmed that his health is stable.  There is a wave across the nation, which is asking for changing the mindset and therefore espousing him even without knowing the nuances of Jan lokpal bill, for whose amendment he has planned to go on a hunger strike  

74 years old social activist and the anti corruption crusader aka ANNA HAZARE is the cardinal topic for discussion ,today. After all he is doing  something at the cost of his life, which most of us not even attempt to think or rather, adopt it as any sincere empathy…

The corruption year is the namesake to year 2011, probably the saturation period for any common citizen to think that “where are we going and when will this holocaust (physical and moral,both) end????...”

On a serious note, we welcomed the year by the “great grandfather scam”  2G SPECTRUM SCAM , the estimated loss of around Rs. 1.75 lac crores…. Just a meager amount, then only the prominent Congress leader Mr.Kapil Sibal said in protest of his government that the CAG might have wrongly calculated the loss and this is probably any minor issue, which nobody should bother about, well I can understand the mental trauma of poor minister,he actually needs some protest to save his ruling government. Well,the culprit  A.Raja has been jettisoned from his prestigious ministry  , he is constantly targetting our honourable PM and HM, the blame game is on ,certainly with no avail ….

It was followed by  Androix- ISRO scam, although the loss more than that the aforementioned quantity but since the lesser known , is still seeking for some consideration..

Now, the most waited event which was about to reconsider the destiny of India as any sport mega event organizer the Common Wealth Games 2010, eventually she did well with respect to PLAYERS & THEIR PHENOMENAL SPIRIT  and filled its bag with splendid achievements, but CAG again filed some enormous amount against the ORGANIZING COMMITTEE, i.e.  Delhi government and Indian Olympic Council were the joint beneficiaries’  of the hundreds of crores of money, which as per CAG are the result of some wasteful expenditure by the OC… Here, again the authenticity of CAG was questioned, after all they have targeted the Delhi Chief minister ,the congress person…. The pity UPA government , May God bless ………………

Meanwhile, the states also have also made their presence felt- be it UP Chief minister MAYAWATI with her National Rural Health Mission super scam or be it Karnataka CM B.S. YEDDYURAPPA   with his alleged involvement in the illegal iron ore export scam in the districts of Karnataka, they constantly remind the central government to not to undermine them, as they believe in the saying- hum kisi se kam nahi

Here I am including only the monetary losses made by our prestigious central and state governments in the year 2011 ,you know just in the past 8-10 months we have imbibed this great money….

Definitely signifies the promising DIGESTION ….. No, I am serious this time…..

Well, not much to say this all genuinely states the essence of the movement made by Anna Hazare, certainly this is not any magical trick which will eradicate the corruption overnight, but I strongly believe that THIS IS A START, A REASONABLE START….which will definitely lead this country to a better tomorrow and will entice its countrymen to extricate themselves from the strong roots of CORRUPTION. Almost ,all of us dreamt of removing this devil from our society but due to insipid attitude of government  any such law could never be made , so somebody has to take the initiative…

Today, entire nation is in talking in his language and is die hardly supporting him,  the commom gantry of this country are not fed by any organization to take part in any such andolan, the support is very lucid in terms of understanding, WE WANT CHANGE …. I too,do not  believe in the absolute removal but it has to be MINIMISED, what the corrupt will do when they will realise no support or compromise from the other side………….????

At the same time I feel proud of being Indian, that atleast in this country one can manage to protest silently with his demands, trually  democratic nation….

Well, my and rather entire country’s heartiest wishes are with Anna and his noble movements,,,,,          

(I genuinely wish I could understand the complexity of Jan lokpal bill,whenever I rewrite for this issue…)

kyuki har ek friend zaruri hota h....

1^st Sunday of August , implies “ friendship’s day ”, or to be more precise the entire week is friendship week i.e. the celebration of friendship; If I talk of friends, I have been fortunate enough to have not myriad in number,but genuine and true to me…. Since today is dedicated to best buddies ,I would like to share few in my anmol khajana.. hehehehehehe

My family  is  an obvious opener,be it my parents or my siblings

My first bonding started with the date when I was to appear in this world and from someone  who took intense pain to produce me, I am blessed with world’s best mum; well not much to say I share every variety of bonding w/her-  physical, mental, moral, spiritual ,in the nutshell ETERNAL; she is infact the first person to elaborate the meaning of friendship, ( obviously, she means it first) everytime has a close eye upon my company and keeps on telling me how should I choose and maintain ma’frnz…..

My dad also shares a friendly bonding w/three of us and stays cool at even any of the vigorous moments. His speciality like this keeps him at the top in my little world....As a kid,I remember my mom used to scare all three of us at his name,but soon we have realised that he is friendly to us like anything and we spend time like true buddies. No regerts for childhood,we now know him as a better friend,off course...
THANKS FOR ALL....

When closely watch other relationships of siblings, I don’t know why but I somehow visualize the lack of commitment and binding bonds, which is the essential foundation feature in my relationship with both of my sisters (DIDI & ANKU). Not only as kids, even today we scold each other, have bull fights on regular intervals and use satirical  terminology to entice, still nobody minds and if somebody who cares????.. (actually, this is the way to express love n affection w/each other)

I have two phenomenal buddies with different  characteristics at my home, who anytime listen to me and shower their endless suggestions… and the person responsible behind all this is ,of course my parents and their timeless ways of bringing up the kids….

My jovial ANKUR JIJU makes my family complete as well as delighted, I have recently shared my views for him,but still would like to add that his arrival as a family member always reminds of the veracious vibrations all around....

If I count my out of home friends, ILA is probably the first name and the only person till date, like whom I wanted to be, again because of ma, as she was the great admirer of my chum. So, I assumed that I too will grab her intention, if I would be like her…

Since past 15 years of our friendship;-I adore her as a commensurate blend of human qualities,be it her determination, her pious spirits,her staunch decisions and at the same time a golden heart w/lots a care for everybody around her, she is trually charismatic personality…

RUCHI is for sure the only person, who made our friendship(me,Ruchi & Ila) more meaningful by her presence.  We were the most happening trio in class for around 4-5 years and fortunately together since the first day of school till date. Ruchi can be easily remembered for her timeless pranks, her altogether unique accent, colloquial still remarkable and her calligraphy sort of handwriting. Probably nobody in her near vicinity was left to be mimicked by her, teachers, batchmates, family, neighbours and the list goes on…. Be it, our participation in gk quiz/ science model competition or complaint of our Maths teacher for excessive homework, we left no single moment to show UNITY IS STRENGTH… hahahahahaha

Golden days of one’s life.....

My next asset is none another than aka shaitan bachha  NEHA, makes my school time comlete. I met Neha recently after a long span of 10 years, it actually feels great to meet somebody with whom I have shared and spent wonderful time. We were the true partners in all the notorious activities in the class, since she was the class leader and we were in the same house, we used to make full use of authorities provided to us. Be it the very first classroom award functions in class 8^th or to compel the entire class 9^th to have their signatures on paper to make sure our principal the authenticity of the matter, I true to my heart miss her company and would always like her in my surrounding…..

When I talk of my college days, I have not fully enjoyed them , but I still carry few wonderful jewels with me , AKANKSHA the true companion from the very first day of session, so that most people presumed that we were school friends , I believe she might have felt ennui at times whenever library or some trivial lecture room used to be my destination but hat’s off to her patience level  that she has never expressed her disavowal for me, so sweet of you dear!... I admire you for that…, Well the time in Delhi for the final year training and the last time when you came to Ludhiana for your  training ( NIFT summer internship)  we have again shared some beautiful moments together…

RUCHIKA and I share the perfect Manchester chemistry, which probably very few people can understand; hehehehehehe….bubbly, chirpy and veracious personality, who wisely manages her things, takes hard decisions, might feeling grievance at times but never loses that wonderful smile on her face,…. Probably she lets you to forget everything whenever you talk to her.. I predict we have spent splendid time at Sarla, Ghaziabad and got to know each other well, and since past 2 years when we even could not meet, I have closely realized my bonding w/my dear chum…yo man...!!!!!

When I think of something intellectual around me, one luminous name strikes to me immediately i.e. PRITI , honestly at the first stroke she had no good impression upon me but as the time passed I have started visualizing the depth and gravity of her conscience, which obviously keeps her away from the crowd. I feel proud when we have constructive talks on critical issues and we share aspiring ideas, sometimes emotional as well…. In the nutshell, I wish her luck for her future endevours …

The genuine addendum to above names are beautifully complimented by my Ludhiana arrival and the beautiful people I met here..

To start with the person , with whom I share the closest bonding and she keeps on explaining that togetherness of ours to every second person she meets, is none other than SUMITA MAM; expressive yet  silent, loquacious yet calm, caring yet aggressive; she eventually carries all these well and possesses a phenomenal place in my life, We never thought to be so closed to each other but it just happened… She cares for me as her younger sibling and listens to me, as if I am elder to her…  she might have lost physical assets in the recent years but gracefully manages to maintain all the eternal ones.. and one more quality of her is to embarrass anyone at any moment…. Wonderful you are….!!!

Now, the person with whom I officially started the term like counselling ,which eventually helped me too to think in a broader manner…. RENU MAM, Thanks for being so obedient and listening to whatever bullshit I talk. She is possessive and seeks attention at many times, probably this childish behavior of her makes me crazy for her. She is caring and shows it aggressively at times…again that gesture is patented by her… which nobody can dare to grab. The sweetest part of her lies in her suggestions, whenever she suggests she reminds of the time when she has listened to me ,and agreed to it full heartily.. My final words for you-Just be yourself, you are going to enlighten the world for sure, with your virtues…. I mean it.

Although I have not spent much time with RISHU, but she is a promising human being for sure…

Be it, her amusing accent, her adventurous yet disciplined life style, her magical eyes , her promising thoughts, all make her to be remembered as commensurately petite. I feel delighted even when I think of you, charismatic personality!!……. Always maintain this naïve attitude.

Now, the wonderful person with whom I enjoy die-hardly while flirting, still feel safe like anything, although seems to be wanderer at first stroke, yet  exudes the equanimity of human characteristics, more beautifully than one could even imagine. This is probably one of the reasons I admire LAKHVEER SIR, like anything. Although, he is a cool dude sort of, but still carries aggression strictly when it is needed, otherwise full control on temperament. He is pure, clear and can take stand for anybody who is right, adorable quality of him. I would always want your graceful company.

Now, the latest entry into this entity, probably the only person whom I took around one year to understand, cloying  at first stroke, he used to irritate me with his ever smiling face and quite contemptuous sounding “thank you” after every single sentence.. AMITESH and his audacity is completely splendid. Be it, the proclivity for spirituality or the courage to stand for truth,these qualities certainly place you ahead the crowd.  finally for you, just be yourself,because it pays to be yourself…

So,now you must have experienced the wonderful journey of almost 24 years with these many people,has actually made it even more special and meaningful. Please read my thoughts for you and share whether you agree with me or not….

  

The stupendous spirit

No Asian country in the history of Women football has ever won the major title and recently Japanese women football team cut the ribbon and grabbed the title of WORLD CHAMPIONS….!!!!

For the innumerable reasons, I adore this country and its never dying spirit…

Disciplined, balanced, hard working and most importantly DETERMINED… To crack every challenge..

I genuinely believe that, we must learn aforesaid qualities which are inherent to almost every Japanese. I do not find the reason behind my fascination towards this country, but as a kid it was a magical national to me…..

Probably, amongst the most disaster prone countries, Japan has always faced the trouble due to its geographical placement in the map. But, no calamity could ever distract the endless spirit of its citizens. Be, it the nuclear attack post second world war  or recent tsunami  disaster, Japan has faced the crisis with a very close eyes and witnessed the impacts lasting for decades. But, after every calamity the rest  of the world realizes the improved and stronger side of this nation. I wish if I could personally ask the people that how they bring-up their children, so that everybody turns to loyal, obedient and balanced citizens. I wonder, if they would have ever complained almighty for all these natural disasters they face, they are rather prepared for this and behave in a calm way…. Wow, this fascinates me..

I gone thru several articles and interactions post Tsunami held in March, regarding rigidity, faith and determination of thoughts of every Japanese, that they will face the tragedy boldly without losing patience and balance and will come out of this as soon as possible and their spirit again won with the recent Worldcup win.

I wanted to write about this country even before but could not make it, and finally could make it after reading an interesting fact regarding their victory over Amricans, that inspite of some 7 cm shorter in height than average muscular American, 1.62 m petite muskeeters of Japan have managed to win this tournament and provided a plenty of reasons of celebration to their countrymen….

Accolades to their VICTORY, rather DESERVING WINNERS………!!!!!

The final touch

Finally, the day came for my departure………

I wish if it could be more perfect and satisfactory for me, because I still regret my precious next session, which I need to invest to recreate myself (I heartily wish if I could save the same),

Well I really want to move on………and, I mean it!!!

If I need to evaluate my tenure, I would rate it 7.5 out of 10 (quite promising)

I still remember the day, when I was at Ludhiana for the first time, my desperation and anxiety was quite visible (obviously for some suitable opening) courtesy - GREAT RECESSION CRISIS, I wandered for 2 days and really had not so great expectations from the third day, but June 15^th was about bring hopes and positivity in my life, in the early morning I departed for Jodha (Rishab spinning Mills); there I met Sehgal Sir who promised me for some good results. Rather, he told me about Nahar Tower and explained the entire address, I had no option or I should say no hope left….

Still, I reached there for the so called interview, Agrawal Sir responded well and I was blunt to him like anything, I made no false promises regarding this aspiring opening, still he shown positive signs…

I never realized that I am going to act like merchandiser, rather I have often heard this term before, never tried to discover the significance and meaning, well HUME KYA PATA THA KI YE HI MERA BHVISHYA …….

Anyhow I have joined on June 19^th, a viably new experience NA KABHI DEKHA,NA SOCHA.. Now, I remember the dialogue from Munnabhai MBBS, “bahut saare kaam insan ko pehli baar karne padte h life me”… So I convinced myself…. All iz well!!

Entirely different variety of people I met, I worked with, I interacted and most importantly some special ones whose memories I am carrying with me, the true assets for my lifetime. Believe me, I started my thinking w/an extremely negative approach, but I find the city and its different mix of people promising like anything….

Obviously, these years have widened my extent of human judgment and level of understanding w/anybody are so high, that nobody can make any sort of misuse of me in any case, my very first colleague was so great in terms of her behviour, so that I can never dare to forget her I remember only one saying “MUH ME RAM BAGAL ME CHHURI..”  Well, this I can say for sure that I cannot get anymore worse company like her…. Alrite, just leave the bad vibes here, I have so many points to cherish and I am going to do the same…..

My list of beloved’s is almost endless…

Well, I really wish to continue the Ludhiana saga w/wonderful and complete ending…

GOD BLESS …!!!

change is genuine, WELCOME it....

A comeback for writing after a long while, actually that was all due to immense lack of time ,I have attended three major functions of my family after my last post for my blog (i.. April 3)… Two from my family and one from my cousin’s.. Totally exhausted and lost, are the exact  feelings as a feedback …

Well ,it does not mean that there was nothing positive  meanwhile, actually loads of entertainment and enjoyment  also exist, the great events as a whole….my good wishes for both my sisters (whose functions were respectively attended by me)

What are the changes that take place, the major ones I decide are the arrivals of fresh  faces, for me it was a viably new experience.  I know my brother-in-law since past 4-5 years, he was not unknown me, but I had many questions regarding our post marriage relationship and the recent  Dehradun trip was a great  testimony… I along with Anku (my younger sister) enjoyed the event die hardly and found in him truly loving & caring friend, who treats us as his siblings. We feel safe and secured in his company and enjoy like anything… We had been with him for entire one day and really loved the trip.. I feel great for didi as well as for his selection, honestly my family was not in favour of this proposal, but today we all are proud of this decision and feel happy for this.. In the recent ceremony he was the fresh arrival for my family and we all felt great about his attitude, as he did not demand any special importance as a damad (u know all the social tantrums)… Athough, he is now mummy-papa-dadi ki aankhon ka tara aur apni saliyo ka jija pyara, still the special message for him We all love you like anything for what you are, so be yourself forever..

the plastic world

Apart from joining few polymers of ethylene together in any chemistry lab, there are many ways to find the polyethylene ( or more popularly polythene),,,,, Yes, you really don’t need to panic much

Be it any site near railway station, market place or your garbage box, plastic is ubiquitous….

Isn’t it…!!!

As per scientific norms,  normal  plastic bag takes 1 million years to biodegrade … Yes, you know when  you throw  any banana leaf along the roadside ; it will take only 10-15 days to assimilate within the soil, you might be violating the civic and general cleanliness sense ... but not any major issue from environment viewpoint  (Oh please…. Here I am no more promoting anybody to dispose more & more ecofriendly garbage along the roadside, this is just an example to compare the intensity of the topic)

Kindly be careful from the next time and start thinking about the generations, of those who are reading this, who are not reading ,those who are breathing, eating , talking, sleeping, even those who are dead, in short the entire mankind.  Does it make sense??..

I think so…

Whenever we dispose any unused plastic & it comes into the contact w/land, the plastic starts polluting the land and ultimately deteriorates the fertility of the land.

Pacific garbage patch is the exact example to explain the depth of the issue, this is like a patch in between the centre of pacific  ocean, which ranges in kilometers and is the result of daily dose of dump poured in the heavy  quantities into the ocean (consisiting basically 85% of plastics) , I have read it somewhere that if it is to be cleaned ,it will take decades … Oh God!!! The figures are really rude and not  at all ready to come down, now the question arises what can we do? Does mother environment  need our  contribution?

Of course, that’s true………..

We can save this world by atleast million ways, few of them are-

1)      Save electricity, save water, save trees,  value money, value goods, do not waste food, … in the nutshell, the general  awareness points to be followed.

2)      One very important  issue is the re-use of materials specially plastic materials & bags , always carry the bag w/you wherever you go, atleast you should use the plastic bags as many times as possible, they are actually manufactured to be used all thru your lifetime since not possible; try to use for the maximum time you can… (I do the same , I always carry the polybag w/me, so that I could use the same as many times and generally avoid taking carrybags from outside ,speacially the sabziwallas and rather entice them to charge extra bucks if they provide  plastic bags…coz this lies in my range,I really wish someday we could achieve a plastic free world….

3)      The campaigns like “earth hour” and “greenathon” respectively organized by government of Delhi and  the NDTV are contributing their bit in a sincere manner ,more and more people should be imbibed for the sake of environment …

I think plastic is negative in its indirect meaning as well,that implies this world is full of plastic people and activities and we generally avoid those people but we cannot ignore their significance because even this can become essence, at times....well without being distracted from the point,  I strongly believe that we have to provoke ourselves, to benefit our future generations and instead of completely avoiding,one must minimise the plastic usage …..
