Will never FORGET what we have LOST



Today was a great day in the face of Indian Republic. Team Anna as well as the government along with all the opposition parties showed a great negotiation spirit in agreeing to the demands of Team Anna so as to pass a highly vigilant and robust Jan Lokpal Bill.
One thing that can’t be denied is that this movement has brought corruption to the day to day discussion of the common man and has no doubt made the people in power aware of the strength of the people who have brought them up, there.
 It has made the politicians aware of the fact that people would not allow them to carry out their wrong and corrupt deeds every 5 year of their ruling period. People have finally understood that the meaning of democracy goes beyond just the election of their representative every 5 year and then occupying a back seat and watch the government, dance on its own tune of corruption, they have rather become aware of their right to question any misdemeanor of government to prevent another CWG, 2G or KG.
 It was really amazing to see the youth discussing a parliamentary session and praising some, while criticizing the others on their speeches rather than discussing a cricket or a football match, as has been observed lately.
The people have now become heedful of the functioning of government and have risen above their parochial lives and  have become more watchful of the things going on in the country.

 This movement has given courage to a villager to question any authority about the delay in the installation of a hand pump in his village, has given strength to a farmer to fight, next time the government authorities try to acquire his land, has given a nerve to a senior citizen to demand justice on the deferral of his pension by any post office or bank employee.
Although this day has brought cheer to the heart of every Indian, but we will never forget what we have lost. 
 Although we all are going to sleep tight tonight, but we will always wake up and fight with the same spirit, if even a single penny of our tax goes into the swiss accounts of the corrupt men.

We say life’s not fair While complaining about the flavor less food in the mess While we are not able to get a seat to sit on a railway platform While criticizing the system for making us stand in a long queue at a movie theatre We say we are confused Confused of not knowing Which attire to purchase for a friend’s wedding Confused in choosing a restaurant to party Among all these complaints And confusions   Can we all just stop for a moment And look around…   Look around for   the construction worker who is in fact unaware if he will be able to   get two time bread and a room to sleep and relax each morning he wake up... look around for the maid who don’t even have two piece clothing to cover herself up who feels stranded of not being able to buy even a mango on her child’s demand... we say we are bewildered bewildered about which dream to chase and which direction to pursue In between this thought   juggling stop for a moment and look around   look around...

Melting Moments As this semester is passing away, I am actually a bit anxious about the life coming ahead and at the same time am a bit sad about the one am going to leave behind. Winding up has always been difficult for me, but this time it is going to be heart racking. This place has actually made me what I really am today . Met new people, who have now started defining my being, their presence actually define my fun, and their absence make me feel miserable at times. And suddenly I’m realizing that most of them will not going to be around anymore . It seems as if the movie is approaching its “the end” and a sequel is about to be released with a whole new set of characters and is going to be shot at a completely new place.   From my personal experience I have learnt that long distance relationships are difficult to maintain and it makes me a bit apprehensive about the changes in the configurations that are about to come. It seems as if an era has passed away but in...

गर्मियों की छुट्टियाँ

दो महीने की लम्बी छुट्टियाँ , दादी और नानी के घर पर बिताती ... रात को दादी की राजा- रानी की कहानियों में , खुद को  राजकुमारी मान कर ,  अपने ही सपनों में खो कर, सो  जाती ...    सुबह उठ कर, नानी के संग पूजा की थाली , फूलों से  सजाती और  उन के भजनों, के दो-चार शब्द  जो समझ आते, उन के साथ गुन-गुना कर बड़ी  खुश  हो जती ...  दादा के संग बजार घुमने जाती, और पड़ोस के चाचा की दुकान  पर   बैठे, लोगो को,  राम- राम साहब कह के,  उन से चार  टॉफ़ी पा कर , अपनी फ्हराक की छोटी-छोटी जेबॆए भर  लाती  ... दोपहर को नाना के संग ताश खेलती,  और कागज के गुलाम- बादशाहों  की  अनोखी दुनिया में खो कर, नाना की गोदी के तकिये पर,  सर रख कर सो जाती ... शाम को चाचा- चाची और मामा-मामी,  वाले दीदी-भईया के संग  लुक्का-छुप्पी  खेलती, और सब को भाग- भाग कर पकड़ लेती ... आज भ...
