Happy New Year - 2014

 Happy New Year 2014   A new dawn is going to cover the night sky, So many mornings but this one is going to fly.   If my words have the power to come true I will write the destiny of the coming year In happy colors of bright violet and blue The letters echoing my mind’s anxiousness To break the conundrum facing the brave Making way for the fertile mind to sway Nurturing the will to perform and not perish Having waited long for the miseries to end   A new dawn is going to cover the night sky So many mornings but this one is going to fly   Having failed in pursuits is not a crime When chasing dreams was the reason to live by So many questions and only a silence...

The Phenomenon called 'Aam Aadmi Party'

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP)  In October 2012, there was lots of furore among the masses in India when Mr. Robert Vadra , son in law of Congress Chief Sonia Gandhi updated his Facebook status message by writing "Mango men in a banana republic”. Social activist then, and now a regional party Chief Mr. Arvind Kejriwal had tweeted, "Evidence pouring in from mango men from across the country. Mango men would prove to be nemesis for the 'powerful'. No political pundit, no soothsayer , no man with a logic , none of the think tanks could have ever imagined that a Mango Man(Aam AAdmi) in the form of Mr. Kejriwal will prove his prediction right. Delhi assembly election results have made people sit up and take note of this phenomenon called...

Building Immune India , Building Strong India

The topic of Dabur Chyawanprash blogging contest-  ' Building Immune India ' is so pertinent and necessary in today's context. Our fathers and forefathers brought us up as close to the nature as possible; when the air was much cleaner , the water was more potable and the environment was much healthier. They handed us a future that looked rosy , full of material comforts and with immense possibilities.  In the mad rush of growth,  fueled by  industrialization , urbanization and rampant use of machines we have contaminated our surroundings to such an extent that neither the present is healthier nor the future looks any better. In this scenario the concern is how do we ensure that our children grow in a safe and robust environment...

Traditional Knowledge - Natural Growth for Children

I am writing this post for the sake of my one and a half year old son who is taking his first steps in life. Be it learning to walk, mumbling few words, developing tastes, doing naughty acts or being playful, he is the center of all our attention.

Words

To simply say what words are, Words communicate meaning, Acting as our minds' messengers, A vent to thought and feeling; But how immensely powerful, Are these words that we use, What a great impact they can have, Is what makes me muse; Words can fill a heart with joy, Make it beat with love and life, But evil, if they become, they can, Hurt that heart like a knife; Words Words can make a person's image, But can tarnish it just as easily, They make so transparent personalities, That can be great or silly; Words can cause a mob, To be quiet or create an uproar, They can influence the minds of masses, And can make them happy or sore; Words could be a ray of hope, In the darkness of some sorrow, They can give the courage and the dreams, Of...

The Night Sky

The purple-crimson evening slowly faded out, Darkness settled gradually,as I looked roundabout, The night sky quietly enveloped the world, Like a smooth,soft blanket around it was twirled! The celestial bodies that shined and shimmered, As though on black velvet,diamonds were scattered, Secrets of their own, they seemed to hold, Mysteries of the universe, they left untold! The Night Sky The crescent moon looked to be smiling lazily, It's silver beam cast like a glance so dreamily, In it's ivory illuminance, tree leaves gently swayed, Against the magnificent dark skyline,a dancing pattern they made! I glanced up at the clear,night sky, In its depths, fate and destiny seemed to lie, A magical spell all over it had cast, An enchanting vision,that...

A Letter to PM of India on Independence Day

Dear Prime Minister , I am caught in a conundrum whether to congratulate you on this Independence day or express dissent at your speech which you gave from Red Fort. For you i will leave the niceties behind but as a True Indian i will first wish my brothers and sisters an environment of freedom , fairness , equal opportunity , progress and happiness on this historic day of us getting independent. When we were small kids we used to wait for this one special day of the year when the Prime Minister of India hoisted the tricolor and addressed the nation. The exuberance, the happiness ,the expectations stemmed from the fact that India was a developing nation then, it is still though, and the Government chief would paint a positive picture...

Love Lost Found and Abound

Aisha sat by the balcony of her high rise, a place that she had bought with all her savings with the notion that her love was wisely invested. The sun was rising from the crevices of the concrete jungle and the sunbeams were harsh enough to light up her fatigued face and puffy eyes. Sleep had relinquished her beautiful eyes long ago. ‘You look beautiful in this pink night suit and they kissed.' That was on her 25th birthday three years back. She often wore those pink pajamas as a celebration of her lost love or may be as a reminder of her undying faith and loyalty. Nothing mattered anymore except that it was an act of reassurance and belief that one day he will come back. Why had she agreed to let him go to the US to pursue his MBA??...
