Independence Day 15th August

Independence Day 73rd 15th August 2019

Today on the occasion of 73rd Independence Day of our Country, we are more in a sombre mood than celebratory...!

We are a bit anxious, some are uneasy and some outraged,  but we have learnt that Dissent in this Democracy is non existent and not acceptable...

Let us contemplate:

If  the current government was pro those on whom it's levying penalties and restrictions and was supportive of their causes and issues; would we be so complacent and complicit with the Government?

A gag order and tacit agreement to be Blindsided wouldn't be in Vogue...

We All the Citizens of our Democratic Republic are in a Catch 22 situation... 
Alienation and divisive tactics will create further schism within the fabric of unity of our country.

The fabric which is woven with myriad hues of threads, intricately and inextricably linked.

The fabric which has an evocative design; such that in its warp and weft we have the Ganga- Jamuni Tehzeeb: Culture and Ethos. 

We must continue to preserve the same as our unique heritage for our future generations. 

Any tampering and undue pressure will snap our ties...with those whom we have lived with for centuries and since time immemorial. 

To quote Sant Rahim: 

Rahiman DhaGaa Prem ka
MaT ThoDo ChaTkaaye;
TooTe Toh phir Naa Jude'y
Jude'y GaaNTh padh Jaaye


Let us pledge to be One as a Nation and to be more United than ever!

Jai Hind 

Happy Independence Day!

Teacher's Day: Raison D'Etré

Today marks an important day in Our Lives. We pay homage to the Educationist and the former President of our nation, Dr. Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan, on the occasion of his Birthday, today. All my colleagues who are ,who were and who will be, Teachers/ Educators. Why do we celebrate Teacher's Day? Perhaps, we don't have anything else to offer to our Teacher, other than mere platitudes and sweet words..? As a token of Our Appreciation; to exercise political correctness, fulsome praise, embellished with wordy gems...! Perhaps, this is enough... at least for those who are heaping ENCOMIUMS; never mind if its equally so for the recipients! The social structure is designed to cater to the affluent,the powerful; the ambitious, go getters, the successful and the famous, who're social networking experts. Wealth  and Power are buzz words of the elite. The tribe is inclusive : Corporate Czars, Media Moguls, Financial Whizzes, Creative Heads, Artistic Prima Donnas: the ...

A Note to Self

 When one invests in an enterprise, A labour of Love, intense and pure, Focuses on one's aim, vows to decide, Come what may, I'll win  for sure, Scale the High and the Lows, to arrive, In full consciousness, to rise above any lure. To achieve and lose and still survive,  Awaiting patiently, whatever more Has been ordained, granted or denied. To forge ahead, derive strength from core Of Being; unrelenting till the goal is reached.  The dual aspects of worldly success or Failure, Become irrelevant, their impact breached And dwindle to a thing of Folklore. The epiphany, is to actualize Self, To evolve to a composite whole.

Music the food for Soul

 The rendition of symphony in stringing the seven notes is a feat which requires immense creativity, improvisation, skill, talent and dexterity.  Music is nourishment for the senses and the soul.  It transports us from the mundane to the magical.  It stirs our innate self and rejuvenates our parched being, evoking the divine chord . One of the most soul stirring songs penned by Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore is Ekla Cholo Re!  This Soul stirring song implores one to forge ahead,with passion,  faith and courage regardless of any support, it is reflective of Mahatma Gandhi's Indomitable will and Courage under fire... Today,  we celebrate MK Gandhi's 154th birth anniversary we salute his spirit and his steely resolve to gain independence from foreign rule.  The saint of Sabarmati and the poet laureate of Bengal, both are united by their zeal and contribution to our illustrious nation. The Muse and the artist, the leader and the Litterateur evoke Our dee...
