Mil Gayi Azaadi par Inquilab ab bhi Jaari Hai
Naye Bharat ke Nirman Ki Jimmedari ab hamari hai
Nikal aaye hain ham ghar se, mila liye hain jab haath
To Dikhne lagi seyaasat daan ki lachaari hai
Kya karein – wo to bhrashtachari hai
Par ab hamare junoon ke aage unke sab daanv bekaari hai
ukhad fenkna hai bhrashtachar ko jo mulq ki sabse badi bimari hai
Mil Gayi Azaadi par Inquilab ab bhi Jaari Hai……
Sleep well, Soldier
know that you are honored,
your name is not forgotten.
We stand humbled
bowed in awe and sorrow,
before your sacrifice.
Sleep well, Soldier….
We will remember you… Forever!!!
A dashing, good human and strict with juniors is how I remember Lt. Archit Verdia. He was our CSM in academy.
Strict and Wonderful, two antonyms, go hand in hand for him. He was always there to motivate and help us excel. High respect for your Brave Soul!
We will remember you…I will always remember you Sir!
कारगिल युद्ध
12 वर्ष पूर्व भारतीय सेना ने
नया इतिहास रचा था
कारगिल, बटालिक, दरस की बर्फीली चोटियों से
दुश्मन को उखाड़ फेंका था
३ महीने के युद्ध में
वीर जवानों ने
घर, परिवार और प्राण
वतन पर कुर्बान कर दिया था
रंविरों के देश प्रेम ने
नवीन आयाम लिख डाला था
उनकी गाथा अभिप्रेरण का स्रोत है
शौर्य और पराक्रम से सराबोर है
अस्तित्व वतन का
सरहद के रखवालों से है
मृत्यु को परास्त कर देने
वाले मतवालों से है
नमन करता हूँ मैं
दिया जिन्होंने अपना आज
हमारे कल के वास्ते
आओ उनके जूनून और कर्तव्य परायणता से कुछ सीखें
उनके जज्बे को आगे बाधाएं
भारत का नव निर्माण कर के
मुल्क को नए आयाम तक ले जाएँ!!
Nanhe wrote this poem sometime in 2008-09,
Zindagi ki kitaab mein likha hai kiska naam
Yeh sochkar rehta hoon main pareshaan
Kabhi Kabhi to yeh lagta hai ki kitaab mein ishq ka prishtha hi nahi hai
Kya karoon Doston 22 saal baad bhi jeevan mein ladki nahi hai
Sochta hoon ki un logon mein kya khaas hai
jinko har basant par ek nayi ladki ka saath hai
Dikhta to main bhi bura nahi hoon par kismet hi nirash hai
Aur Jeevan mein har anubhav zaroori hai
Ladki waale kehte hai aish kar rahe ho tum
nahi to hamari jindagi to jahannum hai
Azaad panchi ki tarah gagan mein udd rahe ho
hamaare upar to prateet hota hai ki koi saaya ho
Shikaar hain hum Emosnal Atyachaar ke
Yeh kabakht ishq nikamma banata hai
insomiac, hypertension aur blood pressure badhata hai
Kehta hai ik “aashiq” apne anubhav se
Bache raho iske jaal se!!
Jiske jeevan mein nahi hai ladki
Kehta hai kismet hai apni kadki
Fir hum bhi thehre nawaab ke sheher se
dekhi nahi soorat apni kabhi gaur se
khud ke liye pari chahiye
recession ke daur mein quality chahiye
Bola tha “champ” ne iss waqt experience zaroori hai
Advani ka PM banna aur Tumhe ladki milne ka yeh antim avsar hai
Tay karo aur nikal pado ek haseena ki khoj mein
Nahi to tum par hamesha fresher ka tag rahega
kabhi koi dil mein nahi aa kar basega
Yahi kehte hue hi nikal jaayega yauvan tumhara
Mera Number Kab Aayega!Mera Number kab Aayega!
आया सावन खुशियाँ लेकर
खुश हुई कुदरत बूँदें प् कर
फ़ैल गयी चारों ओर हरियाली
खिल गए फूल डाली डाली
पायल चनका रही पावस रानी
चालक गया नदियों से पानी
चहचहा रहे हैं पंची दूर गगन में
नाच रहा है मो़र अपने पंख ताने
बुझ गयी पृथ्वी की तृष्णा
सानंद हुआ कृषक अपना
सोंधी सोंधी उठी सुगंधी
बह रही है पवन ठंडी ठंडी
दौड़ उठी कागज़ की कश्ती
बहने मेंहदी रचा आनंद झूलों का लेती
आ गया पर्वों का मौसम
राखी तीज जन्माष्टमी और ओणम
बरखा ने शीतल किया मन्
प्रसन्न हुआ जन जन!
Lesson 1: Naked Wife
A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her shower when the doorbell rings. The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs. When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next door neighbor. Before she says a word, Bob says, “I’ll give you $800 to drop that towel.” After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob.
After a few seconds, Bob hands her $800 dollars and leaves. The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs. When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks,…
“Who was that?” “It was Bob the next door neighbor,” she replies. “Great!” the husband says, “Did he say anything about the $800 he owes me?”
Moral of the story:
If you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk with your shareholders in time, you may be in a position to prevent avoidable exposure.
Lesson 2
A sales rep, an administration clerk, and the manager are walking to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp. They rub it and a Genie comes out. The Genie says, “I’ll give each of you just one wish” “Me first! Me first!” says the administration clerk. “I want to be in the Bahamas, driving a speedboat, without a care in the world.” Poof! She’s gone. “Me next! Me next!” says the sales rep. “I want to be in Hawaii,relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of Pina Coladas and the love of my life.” Poof! He’s gone. “OK, you’re up,” the Genie says to the manager. The manager says, “I want those two back in the office after lunch.”
Moral of the story: Always let your boss have the first say.
Lesson 3
A priest offered a lift to a Nun. She got in and crossed her legs, forcing her gown to reveal a leg. The priest nearly had an accident. After controlling the car, he stealthily slid his hand up her leg. The nun said,”Father, remember Psalm 129?” The priest removed his hand. But,changing gears, he let his hand slide up her leg again. The nun once again said, “Father, remember Psalm 129?” The priest apologized “Sorry sister but the flesh is weak.” Arriving at the convent, the nun went on her way. On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to look up Psalm 129. It said, “Go forth and seek, further up, you will find glory.”
Moral of the story: If you are not well informed in your job, you might miss a great opportunity.
Lesson 4
A crow was sitting on a tree, doing nothing all day. A rabbit asked him,”Can I also sit like you and do nothing all day long?” The crow answered: “Sure, why not.” So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the crow, and rested.
A fox jumped on the rabbit and ate it.
Moral of the story: To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very high up.
Lesson 5: Power of Charisma
A turkey was chatting with a bull “I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree,” sighed the turkey, but I haven’t got the energy.” “Well, why don’t you nibble on my droppings?” replied the bull. “They’re packed with nutrients.” The turkey pecked at a lump of dung and found that it gave him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree. The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch. Finally after a fourth night, there he was proudly perched at the top of the tree. Soon he was spotted by a farmer, who shot the turkey out of the tree.
Moral of the story: Bullshit might get you to the top, but it wont keep you there.
Lesson 6
A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold the bird froze and fell to the ground into a large field. While he was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on him. As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to realize how warm he was. The dung was actually thawing him out! He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy. A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate. Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him.
Moral of the story:
1. Not everyone who shits on you is your enemy
2. Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend
3. And when you’re in deep shit, it’s best to keep your mouth shut!
This powm was written by Nanhe when he was studying his graduation miles away from home. We move out of our home and call it as a “new experience” but as time passes by, it becomes clear that true world is where the mother is. Perhaps the poem speaks itself for the feeling. Here is a poem on Mother’s Day!!
Here are few lines which speak heart out. Nanhe got it through one of his friend.
Neend bahut ati hai padhte-padhte..
Maa tu hoti to keh dete ke ek cup chai bana de. …
Thak gaye hai mess ki roti kha-kha k…..
Maa tu hoti toh keh dete parathe bana de……
Wohi kosish roj khush rehne ki….
Maa tu hoti to dil se muskura lete..
Bahut dur nilkal aaye hai ghar se…..
Maa tere sapno ki parwah na hoti toh kabka ghar chale aate…
Andy Flower once said, “There are two types of batsman in the Cricket- One is Sachin Tendulkar and Two all others.”
Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar, a name which has made the country proud, promoted the game and brand INDIA worldwide. The aggressive right hander is better known as the “Little Master-Blaster” and is the demon for the world’s best bowlers. Even the great Sir Don Bradman once said, “Sachin is one of the greatest players in the history of cricket.”
Sachin Tendulkar turns 38 today. (24th April)
The talent and greatness of this maestro is unmatched and his humility makes him more adorable. He is the one player who has faced more criticism than anyone else in the game. The ‘good part’ is that the most of his critics are not even near him in his stature, and their knowledge about the game can also be disputed. He has been subjected to criticism every now and then few years back (2007) all hells broke loose where the self proclaimed critics were clamouring for his retirement. The good thing about Sachin is that he never speaks but lets his bat do all the talking. He has scored maximum runs in recently concluded World Cup and his form in last year or two has been superb. He has scored runs in every format including T-20.
The basic problem is that people want him to score a century every match. The fact is that the cricket crazy mass of India have been so spoilt by the Masters’ exploits and thus they expect so much from him. The more he has succeeded, the more has been expected. This is the reason they are not ever satisfied by him. I doubt if there has been any player in the world, in any sport, who has been subjected to such intense and back breaking pressure. Sachin has taken all those things in his stride. This was the reason Shane Warne regarded Sachin as the mentally toughest batsman he ever bowled to.
With the 2011 World Cup, it is said that there is nothing left for genius to achieve. But his hunger for runs is amazing and he still has plenty to offer to Indian cricket. Only he can best decide what he wants to do in the future. But I can tell you this, age is no bar to his success in either Tests or one-day internationals. His mere presence in the dressing room motivates the team to do well. There is no denying that Sachin is approaching the twilight of his career, but he is not over yet. His selfless approach and devotion to the game coupled with no ego or attitude problems make him the most respectable person in the arena. We are the luckiest people to see Sachin playing in front of us because you get this offer once in a lifetime. We must cheer for whatever he has in store for us.
Wish him lot of success in years to come and I wish him to see playing in 2015 World Cup!
1.An institution called LOKPAL at the centre and LOKAYUKTA in each state will be set up.
2.Like Supreme Court and Election Commission, they will be completely independent of the governments. No minister or bureaucrat will be able to influence their investigations.
3.Cases against corrupt people thus will not linger on for years. Investigations in any case will have to be completed in one year. Trial should be completed in next one year so that the corrupt politician, officer or judge is sent to jail within two years.
4.The loss that a corrupt person caused to the government will be recovered at the time of conviction.
5.Help to common citizen: If any work of any citizen is not done in prescribed time in any government office, Lokpal will impose financial penalty on guilty officers, which will be given as compensation to the complainant.
6.One could approach Lokpal if your ration card or passport or voter card is not being made or if police is not registering your case or any other work is not being done in prescribed time. Lokpal will have to get it done in a month’s time. You could also report any case of corruption to Lokpal like ration being siphoned off, poor quality roads been constructed or panchayat funds being siphoned off. Lokpal will have to complete its investigations in a year, trial will be over in next one year and the guilty will go to jail within two years.
7.Government appointing corrupt and weak people as Lokpal members won’t be possible because its members will be selected by judges, citizens and constitutional authorities and not by politicians, through a completely transparent and participatory process.
8.The entire functioning of Lokpal/ Lokayukta will be completely transparent. Any complaint against any officer of Lokpal shall be investigated and the officer dismissed within two months.
9.The existing anti-corruption agencies CVC, departmental vigilance and anti-corruption branch of CBI will be merged into Lokpal. Lokpal will have complete powers and machinery to independently investigate and prosecute any officer, judge or politician.
10.It will be the duty of the Lokpal to provide protection to those who are being victimized for raising their voice against corruption.
The present system to fight corruption in India can be described in some points as below -
1.The Anti Corruption Branch and CBI comes under the government. Despite having evidence, it is very difficult to convict people as they have to take permission from the same bosses, against whom the case has to be investigated.
2.No corrupt officer is dismissed from the job because Central Vigilance Commission, which is supposed to dismiss corrupt officers, is only an advisory body. Whenever it advises government to dismiss any senior corrupt officer, its advice is never implemented.
3.No action is taken against corrupt judges because permission is required from the Chief Justice of India to even register an FIR against corrupt judges
4.The functioning of CBI and vigilance departments is secret and hence it promotes corruption.
5.Weak and corrupt people are appointed as heads of these institutions by the government.
6.Citizens face harassment in government offices. Sometimes they are forced to pay bribes. One can only complaint to senior officers. No action is taken on complaints because senior officers also get their cut.
7.Nothing in law to recover ill gotten wealth. A corrupt person can come out of jail and enjoy that money.
8.Small punishment for corruption- Punishment for corruption is minimum 6 months and maximum 7 years.
As you can see, in the present system, there is no deterrent for any public official to engage in an act of corruption. Some of the salient features of the Jan Lokpal Bill are -
1.An institution called LOKPAL in the centre and LOKAYUKTA in each state will be set up. These institutions will completely independent of the governments, just like the Supreme Court and the Election Commission. No minister can influence their investigations.
2.Investigation in any case will have to be completed in one year. Trial should be completed in next one year so that the corrupt officer, or politician goes to jail in two years max.
3.The loss that a corrupt person caused to the government will be recovered at the time of conviction.
4.If any work of any citizen is not done in prescribed time in any government office, Lokpal will impose financial penalty on guilty officers, which will be given as compensation to the complainant. So, you could approach Lokpal if your ration card or passport or voter card is not being made or if police is not registering your case or any other work is not being done in prescribed time. Lokpal will have to get it done in a month’s time.
5.Election of Lokpal officials – What if government appoint corrupt and weak people as Lokpal members? That won’t be possible because its members will be selected by judges, citizens and constitutional authorities and not by politicians, through a completely transparent and participatory process.
6.What if some officer in Lokpal becomes corrupt? The entire functioning of Lokpal/ Lokayukta will be completely transparent. Any complaint against any officer of Lokpal shall be investigated and the officer dismissed within two months.
7.What will happen to existing anti-corruption agencies? CVC, departmental vigilance and anti-corruption branch of CBI will be merged into Lokpal. Lokpal will have complete powers and machinery to independently investigate and prosecute any officer, judge or politician.
8.The punishment would be minimum 5 years and maximum of life imprisonment.
