The Jeremiad of Mother India

You greeted me today for, as you proudly recall, this day remarks 67 years since I became free. Imbue with bliss you chant the hymns of my independence, melodies of your sovereignty.

As What is Mine is Yours.

When I traverse through those vintage memoirs, pride is what I feel because gallant were my son. Scars on me burned their souls. They fought for my liberty until the last drop of gore. Eventually they gifted me much more than what a mother could expect. My chivalrous lads brought me Freedom.

 This day I feel regrettable to express this irony. The pre-independence era was something where I felt peace. In that tough time, my children and I fought united. Tear in ones eye was call for vengeance to another.  Alas today is the moment of grief. You segregate your own sibling, you fight, and you kill them. You try to quiz my religion? Since when does mother have a religion? To your answer, my religion is Motherhood. For me all my children are equal.

Democracy and Politics, I thought will be the institutions where you all would work hard and as remittances bring goodness and development for me. Nevertheless, you infected this with Corruption. This malady is proving fatal for me. Fraudulence retards me the most boy.

 Above all, what breaks me down is enormities on women. Foeticide, uxoricide, dowry, sati and now Rapes. You just cannot stop these atrocities on my daughters, on me, can you? Since ages, since you in cradle, you have been solicitude by us. In addition, as guerdon you contempt us.Monstrosity by strangers is what I can complain to you. But monstrosity by my children, where will I lament? You give me malice, malevolence, greed, fear, felony, abuse…

Remember What is Mine is Yours.

Now I lay my hope on some but many of you. The ones who are profound, who are astute. Come on children help me. Show the world what you are. Give me prosperity, secularism, sovereignty, affluence, and serenity.

For What is Mine is Yours.

With Love,Your Mother India

Teacher - My God.

|| गुरुर्ब्रह्मा गुरुर्विष्णुर्गुरुर्देवो महेश्वरः ||

|| गुरुरेव परं ब्रह्म तस्मै श्रीगुरवे नमः ||

Guru is like Brahma the Creator, who creates or imbibes the virtue of knowledge in his students. Guru is like Vishnu, who maintains this creation of good knowledge and constantly upgrading it. And Guru is like Shiva the Destroyer, who destroys or gets rid of the darkness of ignorance from students. To such a Guru, I bow with devotion.

Here at the divine land of India, we believe that boons of knowledge and wisdom are bestowed upon us by goddess Saraswati herself. And therefore, schools are considered to be places of worship and teachers equivalent to good Lord.

The tale of Dronacharya and Eklavya which depicts extreme commitment of a student to his teacher. The tale of Krishna and Arjun which tells how a teacher's advice is solution to all material problems. The tale of Swami Vivekanand and Ramkrishna Paramhansa is a story of how a teacher can glorify ones inner potentials. And many more such stories indicate that the student teacher relationship is truly auspicious for us.

It is rightly said that the process of learning never stops. And thus one needs a teacher at every phase of his life. For an infant his mother is the first teacher. She teaches him to eat, walk and speak; and in the most lovely manner.  Then comes teacher at school who hold our hands firmly and teach us to write.

Harsh is this world and hard are its ways. But it is a teacher who helps us build our own identity. A teacher identifies your talents before you do. A teacher helps you correct your mistakes before you do. A teacher provides you with solutions to problems before you do. A teacher supports and guides you always, so that you can shine bright midst a huge crowd. Teacher always lead us on the right path, but at times when we seem to deviate they have to use stricter methods, they scold and punish us. 

But like a potter working on his clay piece, you shape you pot well. While your one hand pats and strokes us from outside, the other hand always supports us from inside. Teacher is like a mother, who loves and care for us always. Teacher is like a father, who is a constant source of guidance. And teacher is like a friend, who will support us in every thick and thin.

At last, I would like to say that teachers are builders of Tomorrow, they shape the future and do it faithfully. To such a Teacher, respect and gratitude from bottom of my heart.

Virat Kohli - Avatar of GOD Sachin?

Virat Kohli is an Indian international cricketer. He is a middle order batsman, who can also open the batting. He can also bowl right arm medium pace. 

Technically, this is Virat.

But for every Indian he is much more than this. For Us he is the one who can create waves on the field with his bat. He is the one who can turn the phase of the game. He is the one who can save the team whenever required.

Making India win the 2008 U/19 World Cup, Malaysia under his captaincy, there was no doubt about the huge potential Kohli carried. The same year, he made his ODI debut against Sri Lanka. Since then Kohli continued to be the part of Indian Cricket Team. He played for the team in times when the likes of Sachin, Sehwag and Yuvraj were unable to play due to varied reasons. Every time he played, he contributed to India's victory. He scored his first century against Lanka in Dec 2009 and became the fastest Indian to score 1,000 in ODI cricket.

Initially, Virat was criticized for his conduct and discipline on the field; as on times he became aggressive. Since then he has improved a lot gaining his maturity from his experience.

Recently, when India couldn't make it to 2012 T-20 semis, the player got teary. This merely speaks about the emotional connect of the player to his team, his country. This is Patriotism and Virat is a true Patriot.

Amazing batsman, clever bower, blaster run maker, able inspiration and true patriot, aren't these some of the words used to describe the God of Cricket - Sachin Tendulkar? And for his recent advances, these words seem to be true for Virat Kohli as well. 

At this time when the world bows down to Tendulkar's contribution to International Cricket; we also see new talent budding in the Indian team. The question has started popping- up till when will Sachin continue to play for India? and this is a very practical question. Because there will come a time when Sachin has to take rest. And then there has to be someone who will possibly fill in this vacancy. Will he be Virat Kohli? Is Kohli the next Avtar of Sachin? Time will answer...

 Try this yourself, you groom up one day for your office or college and you have some unpleasant backdrop of the previous day, stand in front of the mirror and observe yourself. Man u look so dull!

And the other day, even after day's work, you visit the mirror and give it a smile. Uff! that's what u call a personality.

Smile is infectious. You can make people around you alive, with just a Smile. So why to delay? Please do this noble task. Please Smile now... :)

UTTAM KSHAMA - The Big Solution

Forgiveness is one of the main virtues to be inculcated by Humans. Jain Religion regards it as one of the basic elements of life. The last day of their 10 days 'Dashlakshan' eve, is considered the Day for Forgiveness.
People recite 'Kshamavaani' and ask for 'Uttam Kshama'- to forgive them, if ever they had hurt someone.
 

This has become a very basic need of our society. In this date, we are busy with our work. But in this league to complete our work, we often forget how we are dealing with others, what we are giving to them and what we are taking from them. Thus, this is a good way. For once in a year, you with purity in heart, without any ego, say Sorry. No second thought, just a smile. This is so simple and definitely kills any complication involved.

So let us all try this kind act and become a bit Jain for a day. And I assure that it would only be beneficial.

In the hustle bustle of modern Life-Style. We have everything to define Style but a little to define Life.

With the BIG sounding words like Pollution, Population, Corruption, Terrorism and Recession. We have forgot the BIG feeling words like Love, Care, Trust, Sympathy and Modesty.

We have certainly disturbed the alignment which calls us Human. Being Human has become a seemingly difficult task for Human Being.

We have time for everything other than ourselves. We have forgot the essence of life. We, with our needless concern, have made our life complex and SMALL. Its time for freedom, to make our life free and BIG.
