Rejection is opportunity to choose..

Why Should I feel Bad? 
Once, there was this guy, who was in love with a girl. She wasn’t the most beautiful and gorgeous but for him, she was everything. He used to dream about her, about spending the rest of life with her. His friends told him, “Why do you dream so much about her, when you don’t even know if she loves you or not? First tell her your feelings, and get to know if she likes you or not”. He felt that was the right way. The girl knew from the beginning, that this guy loves her. One day when he proposed, she rejected him. His friends thought he would take alcohol, drugs etc and ruin his life. To their surprise, he was not depressed. When they asked him how was it that he is not sad, he replied, “‘Why should I feel bad? I lost one who never loved me and she lost the one who really loved and cared for her.” True Love is Hard to Get. Love is all about giving to other person without greed of gaining anything in return, if other person rejects it, its him/her who will be losing the most important thing in life. So never feel dejected.

In memory of my best friend..

Having a Best Friend..
A story tells that two friends were walking through the desert. During some point of the journey they had an argument, and one friend slapped the other one in the face.
The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything, wrote in the sand “Today my best friend slapped me in the face”.
They kept on walking until they found an oasis, where they decided to take a bath. The one who had been slapped got stuck in the mire and started drowning, but the friend saved him. After he recovered from the near drowning, he wrote on a stone “Today my best friend saved my life”.
The friend who had slapped and saved his best friend asked him, “After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now, you write on a stone, why?”
The other friend replied “When someone hurts us we should write it down in sand where winds of forgiveness can erase it away. But, when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it in stone where no wind can ever erase it.”
Do not value the things you have in your life. But value who you have in your life.

Faith ..

Size of God..
A boy asks his father "what's size of God?"
The father looks up at the sky and seeing an airplane, and ask the son:" what's the size of that airplane?"
The boy says:"it's very small.
I can barely see it."
So the father takes him to the airport and as they approach an airplane, he ask:"and now,what's size of this one?"
The boy answers: " wow daddy, this is huge!"
Then  the father tells the boy:" it's the same with God.His size depends on how distant you are from him..the closer you are to Him,the greater He will be in your life. "

Warning!!

Warning!!
Sleepless with climate change..
Global warming by human emissions of greenhouse gases is having clear effects in the physical world: heat waves, heavier rainstorms, higher sea levels, to cite a few. Now, social scientists are wrestling with a murkier question:Wat will climate change mean for human welfare??
Forecasts in this realm are tricky and based on assumptions. Scientists predict effects as varied as a greater spread of tropical diseases, fewer deaths from cold but more from hot weather, and even bumpier rides on airplanes..
There is now a prediction that in a hotter world,people will get less sleep..
In a paper published in Science Advances,Nick Obradovich,a political scientist, together with colleagues predicted more restless nights in summer, as global temperatures rise for the poor who are likely to have air-conditioning as well as the elderly, who have difficultly regulating body temperature.
By 2050, for  every 100 americans,an extra six nights of sleeplessness can be expected every month.
Think about hotter nations.. And environment..
What is  stored in future ..??

Be tolerant.. And spread compassion..

Let us  apart from negatives..find the positives..
Notice good things. For every act in the world, hundreds of positive activities go unnoticed and undiscussed. All religions teach patience and tolerance.. When we call something' intolerant',is it because we're intolerant?? Tolerance is one of the highest spiritual qualities.
When we speak of intolerance, we speak with scared  based,self-protection and security-based consciousness.We often speak for ourselves, discard others who are follow beings in our nation. We seek our own safety,ignoring those who cannot escape and forced to stay back..we separate ourselves from our brothers and sisters and think only of ourselves.
Once we get into a  fear-based consciousness, there is no limit to what our mind can tell us to fear- weather, political, climate, terrorism, war,bad health and death,an endless list.
While it is not wrong to seek self- protection and safety, one must realize that in this existence and universe, there is no absolute security and safety.
There is no physical security in the world, there is only psychological safety .
As humans ,we are geared for survival, hence every small threat worries us.The ego in us fears annihilation, and seeks to protect itself, by escaping or fighting, using the classical fight- or- fight reaction. But this only increases our anxiety levels.
We must go back to the values taught by all religions- to love, tolerance and brotherhood.
Ask if there is any place safer here. Are we  guaranteed that no harm will befall us if we shift out of our city or nation!? Unfortunately, the answer is big ' No'.We cannot understand life fully, nor escape our fate.The  way to peace and happiness is to focus on positives and work to improve the negatives .
Do your duty and leave rest to Almighty. Become tolerant and show gratitude for what we have and what will be rewarded.

Islam.. Way of life..

In wake of recent terrorist attacks in Kabul and Manchester, UK-in which both suicidal technology is used by terrorist activities is very terrible. In Manchester, where a suicide bomber blew himself up as thousands of fans were going back from Ariana Grande's pop concert, killing around 22 people and injuring 59,the question arises again: Is Islam violent? Islam- violent or peaceful?? The suicide attack carried out in Manchester on 22 May, 2017was ostensibly done in name of Islam ,but in reality it was a satanic act. The methodology of Islam is based entirely on peace, not on violence. A student of Islam must know that the study of Islam is not like the study of a branch of science,eg.chemistry is a discipline which has to be studied in the light of a single framework based on the laws of nature. That is why students of chemistry, when doing an experiment,will always obtain same conclusions. In chemistry, it is not possible for one researcher to conclude that this branch of science is a peaceful subject and another researchers did not conclude it is a violent subject. Islam is different in this regard, no comparisons. A Islamic students are always faced with two different models- Islam and the Muslim community. A student has to study Islam in the light of these two models.Without following the principle of differentiation between these two,one cannot properly understand Islam. Islam, as a principle,in the name of an ideology.The source of this ideology is a revealed book,that is the Quran.It is this revealed holy book that decide what is Islam is and what Islam is not .Another aspect before a student of Islam is the followers of Islam. Although Muslims have accepted the religion of Islam, they are at the same time, part of a society that shapes their thinking. But, Muslim community is a relative part, not a real part of Islam. That is, the social aspects of the Muslims will judged on the Quranic principles. If they adhere to these principles, then their activities will be in accordance with Islam, otherwise not. There are many phenomena which have come to characterise the Muslim world due to the' age factor',although they're not ideologically justified in Islam. One of these phenomena is violence.In the social sense;Muslims were part of tribal society and were naturally influenced by it. For example, when a tribal community attacked them, they had to defend themselves. But this fighting was a result of prevailing times and not part of Islamic teachings. A student must differentiate between the ideology of Islam on the hand and the history of Islam on the other.The ideology is the real part of Islam, while the socio- cultural history of Muslims is not entirely a part of Islam.For instance, in the early period of Islam, battles in which Muslims engaged in with the Byzantine and Sassanid empires are part of history of Islam and not part of the ideology of Islam. A student of Islam must differentiate between these two aspects, otherwise he/she may not be able to have a correct picture of Islam. There are certain verses in the holy Quran which give the command for war. This injunction is not meant to be taken as a general principle,but appears in the holy Quran as a justification for engaging in self-defense.These verses are applicable only when there is an external threats, in the absence of such threats, these verses would be inapplicable . Islam-' religion of peace'.

Who is real culprit??

असली  गुनहागार कौन ??
वह जो अपराध  करता है ..या वह जो अपराध  कराने   पर मजबूर  करता  है ??
इस  देश  का हर नागरिक  एक बेहद समझदार और  भावुक है ..
पर वो उन  लोगो  के  झूठे बहकावे में आ जाता है जो  उन्हे  अपराध करने को प्रेरित करते है ..
उनकी सोच पर नफरत का एक ऐसा आवारण पहना देते है कि उनकी  सोचने समझने की शक्ती ही खत्म हो  जाती है ..
और यह नफरत देश को सालो पीछे ले जाने का काम करती है ..
देश के सामने  इतने ज्वालंत मुद्ददे है जैसे  ..बिरोजगारी ,भूखमारी और .लाचारी से  देश का इंसान बेहाल है  ..
यह सब इंसान को मजबूर कर रहा है ..गलत रास्ते पर  चलने के लिये ..
देश का मुखिया और उसके सिपहसलार अगर चाहें तो हर असभव काम भी संभव  हो सकता है ..
देश  का  मुखिया भूल जाये कि फलाँ  पार्टी का हूँ ..और सिर्फ उनको ही साथ लेकर मैं कुछ कर सकुँगा ..ऐसी  सोच उनको छोटा बनाती है ..अब  आप किसी पार्टी विषेश के  नहीं बल्की हर इंसान  के मुखिया है ..उनसे उम्मीद की जाती है कि वह सर्वोर्परी नहीं ..बल्की सारवोपरीये बने..और देश के हर नागरिक का दूख -सुख अपना समझ कर उसे दूर करें चाहे वो किसी धर्म -जाति का हो ..
जबतक देश से  नफरत का बीज उखाड़ कर नहीं फेका जायेगा तबतक आशांती का माहौल रहेगा और  उसमे सिर्फ मासूम लोग ही इसका शिकार होते रहेंगे ..
इस  दुनिया में किसी को सारी उमर नहीं  रहना ..एक ना एक दिन इस दुनिया से जाना है तो क्यौ न प्यार का बीज बोकर जायें ..

Pseudo-nationalists ..learn from Tagore..

In times of misplaced nationalism.. It's indeed ironic to remember that poet and Nobel laureate who wrote India 's national anthem' Jana gana mana..' was remarkably universal in his vision and was untrammelled by narrowness of caste,class, country and creed..

Tagore, whose 156 the birthday anniversary falls on 7 the may,wasn't a nationalist if judged by today's exaggerated standards ,flawed perception and twisted definitions..

'Tagore had an all- encompassing vision and heart that throbbed for every living and non- living creatures,' opined Saravapalli Radhakhrishan is his 'Oxford Series Lectures'.Some pseudo-nationalists may argue that Tagore just wrote poetry sitting on ivory tower and didn't participate in freedom struggle of India.. They are grossly mistaken..

Tagore wasn't an indolent lotus-eater who just sat on the fence and observed the cavalcade of history by,doing nothing.

On the contrary, he had the courage of conviction to return the Knighthood that was bestowed upon him by British following Amritsar's massacre in 1919.

He wrote to the viceroy of India while returning this,a regime that doesn't have empathy for the innocent protesters, is presumed to have no empathy for decency and niceties of human existence.. I,therefore return the'honour' to the oppressive and inhuman government'.

It was Tagore who could write' jaati,dharmo nirbeshe/Ami manush,mei aamar kono dash,na kono praanto( regardless of caste and creed, I'm but an individual who doesn't belongs to any country or province.)

In his Nobel acceptance speech in 1913,Tagore said' a poet has no country, he has no community. He has a universality of vision and a profound vastnesses of sensibilities that enable him to connect on earth .'

Agony of partition...

How Faiz Ahmed Faiz’s most famous poem came to be written

The poem with the famous line ‘This is not that dawn’ was written to commemorate Pakistan’s independence.

As the horror of partition gradually receded over the ensuing months, peace returned and poets picked up their pens once again. All of them wanted to express in their own words the sentiments of their fellow Pakistanis. Most of these poems proved transitory but in the ones that have been preserved, there is a reflection of the hope and optimism which most citizens of the new land were feeling. At last, they were free of the hated British Raj and the Muslims of the subcontinent had a land to call their own.

It was Faiz, however, from whose pen sprang one of the earliest, and most memorable, tributes to this bloody chapter in the history of the subcontinent. This is how one author later described it:]

On June 3, 1947, the partition of the subcontinent was announced. A few days later, summer vacations started…[We] came to Srinagar in August. Across the river from our houseboat was a large mansion, “Harmony”, where Dr MD Taseer and Faiz’s family were staying. Two or three days after August 14, Faiz sahib arrived there. I met him the next day at Taseer sahib’s house. Faiz, who always used to be somewhat hesitant in front of his elders, especially Taseer sahib and Bokhari sahib, remarked that he had started a poem in Lahore and finished it by the time he got to Srinagar. At Taseer sahib’s request, he recited it for us.

The poem was titled Subh-e azadi (Dawn of Independence) and it was to become one of the most enduring pieces of writing on the Partition:

Ye daagh ujala, ye shab gazeeda seher

Wo intezaar tha jiska ye wo seher tau nahi

Ye wo seher tau nahin, jis ki arzu le kar 

Chaley thay yaar ke mil jaye gi kahin na kahin 

Falak ke dasht mein taaron ki aakhri manzil 

Kahin tau hoga shab-e sust mauj ka saahil 

Kahin tau ja ke rukay ga safeena-e gham-e dil.

This stained light, this night-bitten dawn;
This is not that long-awaited day break;
This is not the dawn in whose longing,
We set out believing we would find, somewhere,
In heaven’s wide void,
The stars’ final resting place;
Somewhere the shore of night’s slow-washing tide;
Somewhere, an anchor for the ship of heartache.

Faiz ended the poem with these lines:

Abhi giraani-e shab mein kami nahin aai 
Nijaat deeda o dil ki ghadi nahin aai 
Chaley chalo ke wo manzil abhi nahin aai.

Night’s heaviness is unlessened;
The hour of the heart and spirit’s deliverance has not yet arrived;
Let us go on, that goal has not yet arrived.

The people in Faiz’s circle of friends who first heard the poem were “transfixed, especially Dr Nazir Ahmad [Faiz’s old friend, later principal of Government College, Lahore], who kept repeating the poem after Faiz finished reciting it. In between, Taseer sahib also requested Faiz to repeat some verses two or three times.”

The poem, as was usual with Faiz’s poetry, did not go unnoticed by the general public either. However, the reaction was decidedly mixed. In fact, Faiz, by gently combining lyricism with political comment and expressing his sorrow about what had happened (and perhaps his apprehension about what was to come), raised hackles on both sides of the political divide.

Those on the right scorned the poem for not celebrating independence enthusiastically. This, according to them, was not the time to cry over the anguish of ordinary people but to be happy that freedom had finally arrived.

Those on the left were not too happy either. Faiz’s friend and Marxist historian Syed Sibt-e Hasan wrote:

Both those on the Right and the Left protested [about the poem]. Those on the right said outright that it was a betrayal of the cause of Independence and that Faiz was against Pakistan. His enemies were also upset that he had not criticised the Radcliffe award outright in the poem. They could never understand the depth of the metaphors “stained light” and “night bitten dawn”.

The critics on the left said the poem was too vague, claiming that if the title was removed, it would be impossible to tell if the poem was about Independence. They also protested that the romantic symbols had lessened the impact of the poem. These people are happy to extend permission to Mirza Ghalib to describe the truth in terms of wine and cup but are unwilling to extend the same to Faiz sahib.

Faiz’s friend and fellow Progressive poet, Ali Sardar Jafri, called the poem “half truth” and wrote that a poem like this could be written by both a member of an Islamist or a Hindu religious organization, that if Faiz felt that independence (and its ensuing partition) was a negation of the aspirations of common people, he should have been more forceful in his denunciation of it, etc.

Defending Faiz, Professor Fateh Mohammad Malik wrote:

It is surprising that those who were criticizing Faiz never managed to see in it his deep, undying love for his land, especially at a time when the wounds of the Radcliffe Award (Partition) were still raw, when our (Pakistan’s) leaders were bemoaning the cunning and betrayal of the British about this “moth-eaten” Pakistan.

Subh-e azadi was written on the occasion of Pakistan’s first birthday and Faiz, in his own unique way, highlighted the problems facing the new nation. From 1947 till his death in 1984, Faiz composed a total of eleven more poems to celebrate either Pakistan’s Independence Day or Republic Day. In all of these poems, Faiz spoke lovingly and sadly about his land and its long- suffering people, their hopes and fears, their joys and sorrows, their dreams and disappointments.

There is also, in these poems, both an expression of solidarity with his land and its people and also a challenge of the oppressed against their oppressors. The beauty of these poems (and Faiz’s poetry) is their melody and their message of hope, although many of them also reflect the agony of the poet in the face of life’s painful realities. Agha Nasir has noted, “These poems were written at different times and are composed in different styles and different metres but if we read them together, their internal rhythm makes them appear like a single long poem.”

Life is great teacher ..

*9 short stories worth reading* ..

1. *FALL and RISE*

Today, when I slipped on the wet tile floor a boy in a wheelchair caught me before I slammed my head on the ground.  He said, “Believe it or not, that’s almost exactly how I injured my back 3 years ago .

2. *A FATHER'S ADVICE*

Today, my father told me, “Just go for it and give it a try!  You don’t have to be a professional to build a successful product.  Amateurs started Google and Apple.  Professionals built the Titanic

3. *The POWER of UNIQUENESS* .

Today, I asked my mentor – a very successful business man in his 70’s – what his top 3 tips are for success.  He smiled and said, “Read something no one else is reading, think something no one else is thinking, and do something no one else is doing.

4. *LOOKING BACK*

Today, I interviewed my grandmother for part of a research paper I’m working on for my Psychology class.  When I asked her to define success in her own words, she said, “Success is when you look back at your life and the memories make you smile.

5. *TRY and YOU shall KNOW*

I am blind by birth. When I was 8 years old, I wanted to play baseball. I asked my father- "Dad, can I play baseball?" He said "You'll never know until you try." When I was a teenager, I asked him, - "Dad Can I become a surgeon?". He replied "Son, you'll never know until you try." Today I am a Surgeon, just because I tried!

6. *GOODNESS & GRATITUDE*

Today, after a 72 hour shift at the fire station, a woman ran up to me at the grocery store and gave me a hug.  When I tensed up, she realized I didn’t recognize her.  She let go with tears of joy in her eyes and the most sincere smile and said, “On 9-11-2001, you carried me out of world trade centre.

  

7. *LOOKING BACK*

Today, as my father, three brothers, and two sisters stood around my mother’s hospital bed, my mother uttered her last coherent words before she died. She simply said, “I feel so loved right now. We should have gotten together like this more often.”

8. *AFFECTION*

Today, I kissed my dad on the forehead as he passed away in a small hospital bed.  About 5 seconds after he passed, I realized it was the first time I had given him a kiss since I was a little boy.

9. *SHARING*

Today, I was traveling in Kenya and I met a refugee from Zimbabwe.  He said he hadn’t eaten anything in over 3 days and looked extremely skinny and unhealthy.  Then my friend offered him the rest of the sandwich he was eating.  The first thing the man said was, “We can share it.”

_Cheers to life_

*One of the best posts, ....thanks to all those who decided to share these real life experiences*

It's time to be grateful..

   Stay Positive.. Alwz..
The lyf you're living now..is also a dream of millions..

Yet we start to complaining..and comparing ourselves wid others.. Dis creates disharmony and imbalance in the environment and our selves..
    Slowly, those who are close to us will get to know about our insecurities and emotional turmoil..dey will either stay wid us and  use their wisdom to change us while keeping their distance ..while others might disengage completely from us to keep their sanity intact..
  To keep yourself happy and fulfilled ..start thinking Positive..
Stop comparing urself to others ..
  Visualize the things dat u wanna to change and attract those things towards urself wid a pure intention!!
         Soon ,there will be magical change in ur lyf..it's tym to be grateful..!!

Desire to be loved..alwzz..

From my diary ..

       Until death..
There has been an age since we met..
Those days of our teens..age of tender emotions..
Every moment wid u is precious.. A possession which is only left wid me..safely treasured.. In heart..
Remember..all that we dreamt together ..
Alas! Dis is unexpected wind blew all in one storm..
Dis a mighty punch wanna to harm our emotions.. failed to kill ..but succeed in apart us ..
Heart prays ..hope all that away ..comes again to celebrate reunion.. All things becomes the same as before..
Life has different hues to impart to alive..
My part of beauty is overtook by some shades of unwanted state..
But these don't make my identity ..still  i have same feelings ..same heart..all emotions are wid me..more stronger as before ..tym changed but not my identity
Until death...!!

Live beautifully..

ILLUSION..

Problem is an Illusion..

What do you need problems for? The mind unconsciously loves problems because they give you an identity of sorts.This is normal, and it is insane. ‘Problem’ means that you are dwelling on a situation mentally without there being a true intention or possibility of taking action now and that you are unconsciously making it part of your sense of self. Or you are carrying in your mind the insane burden of things that you may have to do in the future instead of focusing your attention on the one thing that you can do now. When you create a problem, you create pain.All it takes is a simple decision:no matter what happens,I will create no more pain for myself.Although it is a simple choice, it is also very radical.You won’t make that choice unless you have truly had enough,unless you access the power of the Now. If you create no more pain for yourself, then you create no more pain for others.

You also no longer contaminate the beautiful Earth with the negativity of problem-making. If you have ever been in a life-or-death emergency situation, you will know that it wasn’t a problem....In a true emergency,the mind stops; you become totally present in the Now,and something infinitely more powerful takes over.This is why there are many reports of ordinary people suddenly becoming capable of incredibly courageous deeds.In any emergency, either you survive or you don’t.Either way, it is not a problem…. Some people get angry when they hear me say that problems are illusions. I am threatening to take away their sense of who they are.Who would they be without it? A great deal of what people say,think,or do is motivated by fear, which of course is always linked with having your focus on the future and being out of touch with the Now.As there are no problems in the Now, there is no fear either. Should a situation arise that you need to deal with now,your action will be incisive if it arises out of present-moment awareness. It is more likely to be effective.It will not be a reaction coming from the past conditioning of your mind but an intuitive response to the situation.In other instances,when the time-bound mind would have reacted,you will find it more effective to do nothing — just stay centered in the Now.

From my diary..

          Do it now..
They loved each other so much ..
That words alone can't tell..they alwz shared their joys and tears as well..
They're together in morning n together at night fall..
One had outstretched arms when the other was 'bout to fall..
Each thought that someday.. He would tell the other in words how  much he loved and cared for the other...
Once on a sullen dull morning..one of of them suddenly died.. The other couldn't get him back again..
Oh! how very much he cried ..
"Just once ,get up.." he screamed.. "Please hear,all what I' be to say.. I' ve never told you this before.. I love you n loved you alwz..''
The dead made no response.. Dead was none but  a mere collection of bones..
The other with all his  feelings was left all alone..
Time n tide waits for none..tomorrow never comes..
Want happiness.. Do all what you have to do before it is late..
Begin where you are.. Don't wait for some rapture.. That' future and far..
Begin to do..deed of love ..
Now, you 'll  surely get a reward.. Not in the form of gold n silver...
But.. In joy from the Lord..

Tamil farmers's protest..government is silent ..

        

Desperate to be heard..

What kind of desperation pushes someone drink own urine and if not heard they are ready to eat..defection!!
It has been about two months since the group of Tamil farmers came to New Delhi after realising that their home state doesn't care about them..not that the country's capital does either, but Jantar Mantar is considered the hub all protests..
Some media is blindfolded to this protest.. But, farmers have attracted some media attention because of the skulls and bones of 270 died farmers ,
according to reports.. 270 farmers in Tamil Nadu have committed suicide or have died of natural causes since October..
They  repeated the 'rats for breakfast' act shock the country, wearing loincloth only or naked protest, now they are drink urine..all these didn't get them any relief.. Their crisis forced them to do ..a big shame for us!!food givers are in miserable conditions..
Tamil farmers are drought - stricken,and worsen by ugly battle between Karnataka and Tamil Nadu over the release of the Cavery  water in September last year..

Desperate to be heard..

Both of summer and winter crops 'kuruvai' and 'samba' failed due to less rainfall in state..
Nobody cared for them and their plights..
What the Tamil Nadu farmers have doing?? Because they are forced to choose.. food or urine!!??

Three years of Modi Yug..

On 26th May, BJP completes three years tenure..

For the first time in 30 years, the BJP came to power with absolute majority and Modi becomes game- changer..in swearing-in ceremony gave a hint that team Modi  was ready  with a different plan for the India.Two years of governance, now is time to look back at the government's performance.
Successes:
Yemen evacua

tion- this was biggest evacuations since the Gulf War-1,the External Affairs Minister headed by  Sushma Swaraj earned laurels for helping the Indians living abroad, be it for rescusing Kerala nurses from war-torn Libya or bringing back differently-abled Geeta from Pakistan.
Jan- Dhan yojana-Anyone can now open an account in a bank, thanks to this financial inclusion scheme.
Barely a fortnight after launch, the yojana entered  the Guiness Book of World Record for the maximum number of accounts opened in a week.this scheme  is a big boost in moving towards direct subsidy transfer.
LPG subsidy reforms-Intially,started as a 'Give it Up' campaign, the Petroleum and Natural Ministry earned LPG subsidy to 10 lakhs customers,the amount was saved to give over 5 lakhs new  LPG connections to those  who

still use firewood or kersone stoves for cooking.
Swacch Bharat Mission-As pet project  of Pradhan Sewak Modi, sanitation ministry's Swacch Bharat mission got wide public support, especially on social media, celebrities joinf Red the clean India challenge.Not stopping with cleaning, the governent has taken initiatives such as building toilets,gets applaud.
Yog Day-Across the world,the United Nations declared june 21st as international yog day,mass yog performed  at Rajpath and PM Modi also himself took part in this event.
Maan ki Baat-A first such intiative in India, where a top leader addresses millions every sunday,for mass awareness.
Digital India-this flagship programme of Ravi Shankar Prasad's communications Ministry aimining to create a knowledge economy and good  governace  is travelling in right path. Every  minister and every ministry is now on Twitter..for quick feedback .

Misses:
Pathankot attack- The  attack  at IAF air base, just few hours from Delhi,is first of its kind after 26/11 Mumbai  attacks.This is a failure of Home Ministry headed by Rajnath Singh.The question raised on the security-level at India's military bases.
Return of National Awards-A large of inteculluals sections of different fields returned their awards because of increasing intolerance in nation and government is silent about this.
Masood Azhar-India's efforts to add the name Masood Azhar, chief of JeM,in the UN list of proscribed terrorists,failed  due to China's objections.This major setback to India, because aMasood is believed as master-mind of Pathankot attacks.
India-Pak relations-Much to the hype of Pakistan  PM Nawaz Sharif attending the swearing -in ceremony or saree diplomacy,both governments could not re- start dialogue process nor has the firing across the line of control come down. Pradhan Sewak Modi's surpise stop-over at Lahore too failed to break the ice.
India- Nepal relations-Anti- India protests  flared up in Nepal after trade movements through the border were  not allowoed  for many days.Nepal called it 'India's blocked' as it followed by protests of Madhesis, India failed to bring  Nepal away from China.
Dissendence in Central Universities- HRD ministry headed by Smriti Irani then,was in news for wrong reasons-Rohit's sucide.sedition charges on JNU 's students, FTII students' strike and many more interferences in student' matters.
Black money-Bringing the blackmoney  in Swiss accouts,was one of a promises.But ,Finance ministry headed by Arun Jaitely,failed to keep this promise that all Indians will have 15 lakhs in their bank accounts.
SILENCE ON RIGHT-WING GROUPS-
Silence on fringe riists a right-wroups-Law and order could be a State subject.Murders of rationalists and deadly attacks on minority communities by fringe right wing element may not be limited to the BJP- ruled states,But the Centre as well as Pradhan Sewak 's refrains from condemning or making comments against such attacks, didn'y go well with true INDIANS.
Smart cities- Where are smart cities?? But PM Modi , in two years he travelled whole world..what are fruits of foreign trips for INDIA??
OROP- The one rank one pension scheme,a long-pending demand of ex-servicemen was accepted by government,but this not met till this date,
Ganga Rejunuvation-The Modi sarkar made separte ministry headed by Uma Bharti to clean ganga river and protect eco-systecm.The 'Namami Ganga'project with a budget of 20,000 crores over a period of 5 years has been cleared.. and deadline is 2018,..
Bullet train-For single bullet train needs 98,000 crores!!ARE we ready for this??did India is giving basic need to every Indian?
FINALLY, Jan Dhan Yojana is fails in three years..due to financial losses..

From my diary..

           Silence..
My heart is painful with fear and sorrow
Dreams of happiness..I beg and borrow.. There is no one who can understand my silence ..then who ever appreciate my violence..
There are times when someone close may become estranged..
Then only pain and loneliness remains.. Just waiting for someone in vain who share  my pains..
Will my dreams ever come true??
Or will they go, with a blow...
Shall I become weak or strong for when sadness and sorrow prevails.. Which can shroud me clouds of next storm... Just like a moonless night ..and no chance Dawn will follow  ...

Anger is one letter away from 'D'anger..

   Why are we angry!??

In the recent past we're seeing a new felt anger.In Syria,recently a nerve gas attack killed more than a hundred people, including children.. The images were horrifying to say the least.. Speechless!!
In Kashmir, youth fill the streets to attack army and police pickets..while Gau- rakshaks in Rajasthan killed a man brutally..
Anger, it seems, has begun to pervade our daiy lives.. Why do we get angry?? Anger arises because of how we interpret and react to certain situations.. Every one has their own triggers for what makes them angry, but some common ones include situations in which we feel threatened or attacked, frustrated or powerless..
This prompts us to analyze the relationship between spirituality and anger..Anger is a potential destructive emotion and often related to greediness and attachment.. While anger  can be a source of wisdom when it brings awareness, it has the potential to descend into hatred or aggression..
Anger is not be repressed, but to be approached with mindfulness.. As with other emotions, we have the seed of anger within us..someone else cannot make us angry.. The proper response to anger is loving kindness and non- attachment..anger intoxicates the mind,the mind enslaves the tongue, the tongue spews venom, venom strains relations..
Angerr has potential for becoming fixated and distracts us from our relationship with one another and with God.

Anger can change a good person into sinful man..anger is the feeling of antagonism, the feeling of irritation caused by some real or supposed grievances or inadequacies and can be caused by both external and internal events..
The consequences of anger are long lasting.. It takes us just a second to throw a stone into bucket of water, but ripples this sets off,take long to settle..anger can be controlled by practice.. If we give ourselves time,any angry feelings that we have, eventually subsides ..once this stage is crossed, we will,in course of time, learn not to react angrily, no matter what the provocation ..Control of anger, thus ,is the first step in the attempt at spiritual journey ..so every one should must cultivate spiritual feelings With constant practice.. Than it turns into habit ..and humanity wins...

Homemade cake..

Anywhere to feel little boy was telling his grandma how everything was going wrong with school and family.. There were severe health problems in the family..
Grandma heard him and started baking a cake..she asked grandson if he would like a snack, which, of course, he did." Here, have some cooking oil," she said.
"Yuck," said the boy."then how about a couple of raw eggs? ".
" gross, grandma! ",he replied." Would you prefer some flour?or may be some baking soda?"she asked.
"Grandma, those are all yucky!" he replied.To  which  grandma replied, "Yes,all those things seem to taste bad all by themselves. But when they are mixed together in right amounts and in right manner, they make a delicious cake.God  works the same way,"she  said.
Many times we wonder why he would let us go through such bad and difficult times. But God knows that when He puts these things in His order, they always work for good.
We just have to trust Him and,eventually, they will all make something wonderful...

Gratitude ..

Surrender comes when u drop the baggage of desires.. And be thankful.. Accept' am was not worthy but dear Almighty.. U have given me so much and filled my lyf with richness of luv..I wz not worthy ..but u have provided me with a beautiful surroundings..'
Drop the desires and let gratitude to God for everything..bcz nothing beautiful when you distance from all negative..
There is a way out of the pain.. Yeah..we need to a painless life ..past pain that still lives on you..no doubt the painful past can only increases.. Sorrows..
Accept.. Dem as that memory which have to erased soon..and pave way for happiness..

My teenage 's first attempt to write ..

My thoughts are misleading me..
I just blame my fickle mind..nature urges me to describe its hidden treasures..when gadget age obsesses me..
But I wish to write' bout the human sufferings..Oh..NO!!, here comes another subject in mind.. But I shall not derive satisfaction from it..
Explaining the meaning of this lyf may consume centuries- the true  meaning still remaining unexplored..
Relationships have alwz meant raw materials for philosophers..
Fear for future is natural.. And can be understood with mighty colossus..
Science- developing infinitely..
Recollections of the past provide sum inspiration ..
But memory is vague differently..psychology may become a complex search of human mind but still there's sum thing waiting to be written about ...Alas!! My pen is empty  Now..!!
Well...finally human emotions attract mee!! 

I wrote this when I was in 9th class..

Slay the ego ..

Eradicate the feelings of egoism..

Ego is seed of tree of mind..'I' thought is source of all thoughts ..all thoughts are centred on the little'I'
Find out what the little' I' is..
This little 'I' will dwindle into airy nothing.. It will absorbed in the infinite 'I',the source for the little'I' or egoism..
Too much Ego will kill your talents..
The sun of Self- realisation is fully seen when the clouds of Ego disappears..
Anger is another method for annihilating mind..it is distaste for objects of sense- pleasures by finding out the defects in the beautiful life.. control this because ANGER it is one letter away from 'D'anger..which can annihilate peace of mind.. for peaceful living ..so control the thoughts..keep distance from negative emotions and
Do good and you find peace..

Jesus prefer CROSS..for US..

What happened  on GOOD FRIDAY..??

Good Friday is a Chiristian  tradition to mark the day of crucification of Jesus,whom they believe to be Son of God  as well as His messiah or messenger.Jesus was arrested,tried and sentenced by Pontius Pilate, to be exectuded on cross.Jesus was arrested following,the famous Last Supper with 12 Apostles,then flogged  and mocked by Roman solidiers for being the King of Jews..Collectively  knowns as the Passion of Chirist, suffering the death of Jesus by crucifixItion represents the central theme of Christian theology, including doctrines of salvation and atonement.Christians believe his sufferings was foretold in Hebrew Bible, in Psalm22, and songs of the suffering servent of Isiaha.

The term,GOOD FRIDAY may be derived from  God Friday in the same way that word GOODBYE..is derived from 'GOD BE WITH YE.'The good  friday about is that the barrier of sin was broken by Jesus dying on the cross and coming back from the dead.

It was on a Friday that Jesus was arrested and handed to Roman solidiers to be beaten and flogged with whips..a crown of long,sharp thorns was thrust upon his head.Then , he was forced to carry his cross to a place on top of Skull Hill, on outskirsts of city, where he was nailed to cross.A sign pinned above him read' THE KING OF JEWSwikipedia'.According to the Bible, Jesus was nailed to cross in morning and then his suffering intensified,the skies darkened even though it was just noontime..at 3pm,when Jesus died,the darkness left the sky. All these miracles added to the faith of his followers..that Jesus was  no ordinary mortal.

Some Christians go without food on Good Friday..this helps them remember the sacriface Jesus made for them on day of crucifixion.Others take part in a procession by carrying crosses through streets..many churches hold a special service, a prayer in afternoon . and a communion service in the evening..in some churches,statues are covered with cloth to symbolise mourning.

It is traditional to eat hot cross buns on GOOD FRIDAY. The cross  icing on top of the buns symbolise and reminds Christians of CROSS  that Jesus killed UPON..

Two days ,after  Good Friday comes  EASTER SUNDAY..it was on  easter sunday that  JESUS come back to LIFE,to proving that he was indeed SON of  GOD..it represents the Victory of  GOOD over EVIL..

Luv ur lyf..

We need to start loving ourselves, as we keep on loving others and totally forget who we really are..to love yourself is to take complete care of yourself -physical,mentally, emotionally and spiritually.. 

LOVE YOUR SELF AND BE HEALTHY...

Diet:Improper diet is the main reason behind disease.. We need to take care of our diet.While eating moderation is recommend; therefore,alwz eat slightly less than ur appetite demands ..one should eat according to the place, season, time, one's physical condition and mental inclination to maintain equilibrium in the body..restrain desires and most of ur health problems will be resolved..
Sleep: Sleep is an important factor for good health.. If our sleep is disturbed, we get stressed out as well become physically ill..because when we are in sleep our minds get rest for some hours which is essential for good health..
Exercise: We have gross bodies, which needs physical activity..but our mind is subtle and needs to be calm and still..but we do the opposite-we keep on thinking while sitting ..we can do various physical  activities such as yoga,exercise, running or walking with a focused mind..don't go beyond ur limits, as there are different factors depending on ur age,health and stamina..
Spirituality: Everything in this material world is changeable. There may be different situations we face,which keep on changing, but our mental state should alwz remains the same. Disconnect from the outer world and we look inwards to connect with Divine..if we have already realized that outer surface is changeable, then any  change in life, will not be the reason for our sorrow ..when mind begins to look inward through meditation, it can transform ur life and lead to liberation..
To be peaceful and calm, love life ..

FIVE IS MIGHTY..

USE THEM RIGHTLY..

FIVE TOYS..

Parents often gives toys to divert child's attention..a mother goes to market to purchase toys with this intentions that her  child play and leave mother's support..
Likewise, God has given his children this material world full of irresistible toys..his children get absorbed in playing with them and remain deprived of his bliss.. this intent of god needs to explored..
A mother deludes her child by giving toys so that she can complete her work..the toys purchased by her are of five types, emerging from the five sense organs hrough which one perceives the material world..This enormous world we are living in also consists five kinds of toys given to us by God..However, Gods' creation is so vast that no one has been able to even understand it..what to speak of seeing it in its entirety..you look at the world.. And if someone asks you have you seen that? No.Oh!!What have you seen then? In the same way ,there are other senses and their respective subjects..So there are infinite toys to keep us busy..A question therefore arises as to what work does God have that he keeps us busy?? Moreover, once a mother finishes her work,she comes back to attend to her child, which is not the case with God ..
These toys are nothing but manifestations of Gods' s Maya shakti..God declares in holy Scriptures .."Only those who fully surrender to Me and seek My protection can gain freedom from selfish materialist world ..people forgets humanity.. In viel of ignorance and illusion ..and use that five toys given by God to right ways..
Similarly, when a child fed up with his toys,he needs mother to console his emotions.. likewise the child  a  man gets detach from world,he seek God..
Thus, we must understand the importance of five sense organs and right uses to make the world beautiful ..and you find that you are going closer to God..and getting true happiness..

Democracy.. Encompass the opportunities that exist in the society at large..

BEST  FOR EVERYONE..

Losing and winning are not in themselves important.. What is of actual importance is how people conduct themselves when facing these experiences.. In the age of kingship in previous centuries, kings held some favor and others in disfavour.. They wanted to crush those whom they thought were not their supporters.. Those who still have such an outdated mindset think along similar lines today..they believe  that the elected government is friendly or inimical towards them.. But this is an anachronistic way of thinking ..
In age of democracy, the mandate of the government that comes into power after election is always for limited period of time ..since in a democracy it is the voters who elect the leaders, no government can afford,once it  is elected to power, to follow the policy of favouring one community and disfavouring another.. This is because such a policy would go against its own political interests ..
During any pre-election campaign, a party can engage in such rhetoric as go against the sentiments of a community or group, but such statements or speeches are only temporary..the tone of the party changes after the elections..
People must know that this age of democracy, and in principle ,democracy is not for some and against others..it is for all.. Therefore, in this day and age,people  should not form opinions on the basis  of media reports..
Consider the saying-'there is no permanent enemy or permanent friend in politics..'this applies particularly to a democracy.. Democracy is government of the people by the people.. Thus,in a democracy,if any party were to make a permanent enemy of any given voter community, that would go against its own interests.. Therefore, it is in the interest of ruling party itself to adopt an universal policy..
In democracy, if any leader makes such statements that go against a certain group,  it should not encouraged,rise voice against these..
The most important thing in politics is that one should never take things at face value ..things should  always be taken in their deeper sense.. This means that one should not consider of the statements of particular leader, but should rather look to the world beyond the leader's statements and see whether it offers favourable opportunities ..if  favourable opportunities do exist, one should never feel any apprehension.. Favourable opportunities are produced  as a result of the  historical process..they don't  disappear by the coming of one party or another to power ..
Democracy is based on a system of periodical elections.. In means temporary replacement of political administration,while maintaining   permanent governance.. This kind of political system is inherently  good for all and bad for none..
In other words, which ever party comes to power ,it will affect only a part of life, while leaving the greater part of life untouched..

In MODI &YOGI YUG..eat..pray and love should be feared ..

HINDUTAVA Model of Development..

DANGER..

Two kinds of law representing two kinds of decision-making have marked the initial days of Yogi sarkar in UP. These are not critical as progressive legislation but as case studies of way of thinking of new regime..The first of decisions cuts across nature and culture and has to do with cow slaughter.The second deals with the imposition of 'anti-romeo'squads and cuts across issues of gender and ethnicity..both acts  raise the question on whether law and governance are progressive movements towards justice or rhetorical acts which reveal deeper fears that we need to confront.

Shakespear' Romeo vs Yogi's Romeo..
Shakespearean Romeo evokes tradedy,but Yogian Romeo is a rowdy of romance,the local eve-teasers..in fact ,the anti-romeo act reveals that this law is selective,secondly..it reveals more about fears of our newly appointed CM..rather than the fears of women in state..
Next,the anti-rowdy project is part of wider programe..One has to see it as part of 'ghar-wapsi' and 'love-jihad'...these are yogi's campaign.. The anti-muslim is bias is obvious in the first two..in third one ,a secular cover tells Hindus and Muslims not to mix too freely.

Romance should be approved by parents ...and it should be restricted to the same community..
now,ban is imposed on illegal slaughter houses in state..for rise in upliftment of rich butchers,not for saving animals..and viligilantism is being justified as a act of governance or law and order..
Gau-rashaks have full rights to take one's life..in the name of cow's protection..killer politics is done..nature is made Hindu..where no one is allowed to eat according to his wishes..when a man is taken as a non-living..and militant Hindutava is becoming stronger than The Constitution..then there is Danger to Democracy..

Again Syrians are paying other's atrocities

BLACK DAY..

WHY?? Innocents are suffering..

In a slaughter by Bassar-Assad,who killed thousands Syrians chemical attacks..in response , Trump used same method -chemical weapons..on tuesday..

Forgetting that,chemical weapons are banned under global treatise to which the U.S. and Syria are signatories..but it happened again..

America's strikes aim at maintaining its ideological self-image,but forgets everytime this type of attacks leads to deaths..Tragic!!The American president has once again shown the world that America has a moral compass and the spine to stand up for It.it will not collaborate with evil..The American missile attacks on Syrian airfields was catastrophic nightmare,but for America,it was psychological assurance of normalcy to the world..

The moral cloak of humanitarianism,is just interventions like in past of Iraq's horrendous experience..

If bombing and missile attacks are able to give relief to any community..so these are Justified.. 

experiences..
