Jan Lokpal Bill………the journey continuing……..

                                       

 Gandhi topi is again on the streets & this time with a conviction to not let the government eludes the anti-corruption bill, not let the government makes any rhetoric concoction to turn the bow altogether otherwise. This time it might be a prolonged journey for the team Anna to bring the Jan Lokpal Bill on table but capitulation would not be the conclusion to this discourse.

Team Anna members have started their Anshan (fast) from today (25^th July 2012) & have given an ultimatum of 3 days to the government to work upon the matter. And, if after the completion of the ultimatum period government wouldn’t behave in this regard, Anna would also take a leap to the Anshan.

Albeit, everyone is amid the confusion (including me) if this Jan Lokpal Bill would ever come on table & if, however, it would come to the table, would it work, would it eradicate the corruption altogether;  but one thing is sure that everyone wants it get worked. How far would this Anshan go & how prolonged would be this fight; one may not prejudice, on the basis of number of people gathered on the ground, this time unlike it had always been the backing to decide the parameter of success of the anti-corruption fight.

If team Anna, as it has said, would not succumbed to the government’s tactics & would be firm to its path to fight the misdemeanor, the aam-junta who has still been refraining to come to the ground would come to the floor & the toll would definitely rise towards upward motion. People would, for sure, get sensitive toward the crusader of this journey against the corruption who leaves no stone unturned to bring the perpetrators to justice. Despite being an eighty plus man, he comes back with that vigor & valor again & again to make us realize that we may not & should not move forward with this illicit criterion of working.

                                             

 Though people still think that it may not cure the widespread epidemic as it would be handled by the same people (like us) who have been pocketing bribes, but even then, it brings the hope to alleviate the germ. It’s not like it is the fool-proof strategy to mar the corruption system but it would, at least, reduce the corruption level from the bottom. When it would be levied as a law people, who have been giving & taking bribes for college admissions & other such procedures to get work done, would abstain themselves while getting embraced to the system as everyone has not the power at their back to provide them bail.

Let’s hope for the best to come & work toward this motion at our own end with not abetting the bribery system & move on our path of fair & justice with conviction.

Do you believe in the institution of marriage???.....

I was just going through the newspaper magazine & ended up with a Bollywood actress’ interview where she talked about her boyfriend & her believe in the institution of marriage.

She doesn’t believe in the institution of marriage. She believes that love is not about binding someone in chain & stamping it with the marriage certificate. True!!!.....As far as there is love & commitment, one doesn’t need to prove it with getting married. Love is all about freedom & sharing emotions with each other, to be there always around your love when he/she needs you most.

 

Whenever we go through these kinds of stuffs, at once it strikes our mind, ‘how beautiful!!!.........’ We keep praising them for their beautiful emotions & try to adopt it into our lifestyle. A star makes a statement & it becomes a headline of the newspaper.

It struck me too & I kept pondering- ‘do I believe in the institution of marriage or not?’- what I believe is, when someone says that she doesn’t believe in the institution of marriage, she converses a statement to be further added that till her love isn’t going to marry someone else it doesn’t matter whether they are married. Because the moment your love would decide to marry someone other than you, you would go for a question if you weren’t his love.  Didn’t he find you good enough to spend his entire life with you, ‘his love’? Don’t you feel, then, to get married?

 

When you say that you don’t believe in marriage-don’t deny your internal desire with surreal statements- you mean though you believe in marriage & want to exchange your rings, but you want to give your love his own space. You don’t want to compel him; you want him to live his life the way he wants. Love is just like that. It makes you feel free though it wants you to get enclosed into it completely.

Don’t weigh it against the most often situation when someone leaves his/her spouse for another love. It’s something very different as here you may not quote about your perception of marriage.

We are human beings & it hurts when someone, whom you loved the most, ditch you in the midway. Marriage is the certificate of commitment, but yes……..if there is love it doesn’t matter how far it would take you to get that certificate. Eventually, when we get married with the person we are in love with, we feel at the top of the world.

BE IN LOVE & GET MARRIED!!! :) :D

Slept Again!

It was so dull & gloomy,

melancholy was fully straggled,

lassitude was at its depth

beckoning me to sleep again!

                                                            Papa was not nice

                                                            to let me have this pleasure,

                                                            ordered for getting up instantly

                                                            to stand under the shower.

I went to get fresh

but my soul was still pampered,

it was so dullard

making me sleep again & again!

                                                            Fortunately, I met my dear friend

                                                            but a geek had also a presence there,

                                                            his demeanor made me slept again

                                                            I felt myself missing somewhere.

Didn’t I behave kindly?

Iteration was disturbing there.

Whole day passed as such,

my lassitude conquered me

& I slept again!

Hot Band Baajaa Baaraat Season!

                                              

It’s a June month. It’s hot & humid all out there. And, if your family is likely to plan a wedding this month, it’d be hot inside too, inside your very ‘thick-to-be-thin’ pocket. Especially, if you are a middle-class person & may not afford a five star hotel!

Well! Marriage is a very private affair & no one is supposed to question your decision to make it happen right now. But, if there is any second choice to put it in abeyance which could save those extra bucks, won’t you like to lend your ear to it!

Don’t worry! It would be privy to us, am not going to let your kith and kin get any clue. ;)

I have been to various marriages this season. Yes! In this single month, I have had been invited to number of marriages & still marriages are on cards. Albeit, I enjoyed every wedding while having cold drinks & pani-puri; & wiping sweat, getting uneasy with humid at the same time, they were fun. Still, people do not leave any opportunity to bad-mouth your endeavours. I may understand the status of mind of parents who leave no stone unturned to make it a memorable event, yet when all it ends to their guests complaining about the arrangements, it hurts  :(  until & unless you have affordable wedding planners like Shruti & Bittoo  ;)

Besides catering, mandap & lights, you have to squander some extra penny in this hot weather for fans, coolers, water-coolers, ice-cream (yes! In winters, it’s an option for many) & special AC Room (if not for everyone, at least for your would-be relatives). Coming July, there might be unpredictable rains to ruin your business. Again, you have to arrange for a proper shed. All this would digest your money in abundance which could be avoided if it’s a November-December wedding. Even Shruti & Bittoo would be more affordable in the last quarter of year.

No fans, no coolers, no cold-water, no AC-Room! Ice-creams (even if people have it, it’s consumption-rate is much lower…..people who takes 3 cups, 1 cup is more than enough in winter) & cold-drinks are avoided too!  ;)  Won’t it be a great help to you, especially, when petrol prices are adhered not to stumble any more, when inflation climbs to the height of mountain, when daily-routine business has already have its share?

Now, what are you planning for? Wedding in the last quarter of year with Band Baajaa Baaraat???  ;)  :)

          

           

Take a Stand

 In our childhood days, we were preached to share our belongings to the needy ones & to our friends so that they may also have their share of joy. Then here comes Facebook, & our tech-obsessed buddies have engulfed in this meander as such that they have forgotten to use their wits what really ‘Share’ means & feel like sharing every rubbish scrap coming their way, even if it’s cheap & hollow.
Even if there is a sorrowful moment depicting picture, it is supposed to be clicked with a ‘Like’ button……..I really don’t get what is so likeable about them. Someone has shared through Facebook his grief of losing her sister due to dowry & there are ‘Likes’. What rubbish!

            From the very first day when ‘Satyamev Jayate’ has been aired, people have been sharing its Facebook page, clicking ‘Like’ & leaving the page with comments about every weekly topic being discussed. Everyone had been making their best efforts to leave a commendable quote about Aamir & his endeavors in this venture. There were scraps quoting his sacrifices in apropos of films & money he has put on. How he had given priority to this show against his most awaited film, how he had spent two full years over this venture to reach the heart of everybody & blah blah blah ………

            Now, as TRP of the show has started plunging & a few of idiots have got the opportunity to raise their fingers with nothing worth of at their end, everybody is taking a U-turn. Now the very same people who had been supporting him with sharing commendable scraps, have been sharing scraps leaving scathing attacks to him that how much money his pocket is weighed with & other demeaning, baseless allegations( I didn’t read it full in annoyance), totally in opposite to what they were sharing earlier tempting me to share my views with you. This should not be done! This should really not be done!

            I mean use your mind and take a stand. Do you have a conscience? Can’t you really see what he has been trying to convey? What endeavors he had put on? Has he come, till now, with something which should be proscribed to get telecasted? Does his show not convey something which would, indeed, affect people to get humane toward their surroundings? On what basis you were backing him earlier & now, what have you got your hands wet with to oppose him?

            Please, take a stand using your conscience & just don’t follow the crowd.

           

            Satyamev Jayate!

Happy Father’s Day

My first step on this earth

& your guidance to move it up.

My arduous task to spell first word

& your getting agog to scream yes!

My question to waking up at 6

& your answer not to take risk.

My callow demeanor in every phase

& your catechism in each such case.

My exorbitant demand to have it

& your dexterous effort to place it.

My hogwash when comes to place

& your diligence how to axe.

My diffidence to make it real

& your dauntless effort to have it without fear.

My delicacies, chocolates & cakes,

I need nothing, just you my dad!

 

I’m Behenji!!!

Are you a small town girl? Do you not carry attitude to show-off? Do you not carry short skirts? Do you not speak English fluently but Hindi? Do you not have a lover? If you get 5/5 in this round, you are a qualified Behenji.

 You would be a subject of mockery if you won’t give back that attitude to them. If you don’t carry short skirts then you know nothing about style. If you can’t speak English fluently, you are worthless &…………if you have perfection in Hindi, again you are worthless. It’s an English speaking world & you have no place here.

            
I like skirts but do not demean a kurta pyjama clad girl. I find kurtis as stylish as skirts. I speak English but do not mock at someone who is trying to get fluent over the international speaking language or who is proficient in Hindi. It’s a privilege to having someone around who has a profound knowledge of our national language. I do not believe in pretending to have something I, really, may not possess. I do not have a lover but that doesn’t mean I am not worth of someone’s interest. It simply means, I am too busy to be in a relationship or haven’t found a guy of my interest.

           
Still, I would say I’m Behenji.

I’m B-beautiful

I’m E-elite

I’m H-honest

I’m E-enthusiastic

I’m N-nifty

I’m J-jaunty

I’m I-impeccable

          
Yes!............next time if someone would call you Behenji, do not get disheartened but accept it with grace as your eponym. You are the most beautiful person in this world if you see beauty in everything around yourself. You belong to an elite group of people who is best to handle every adverse situation. You are honest if you don’t pretend, if you show sincerity toward others as well as yourself. Be always enthusiastic to hold responsibilities & get your task done. You are as nifty as others, just carry yourself with confidence. Always be cheerful whatever the circumstances are. Be confident, be jaunty. You are an impeccable being to be loved & followed by others.

            
Say Cheese!.......all Behenjis. 

       

Exploring Innerself!

Was groping in the dark,

with unawareness in the mind.

A ‘Can-do’ attitude was there…..

but that was just a baseless fight.

Attitude ruled over aptitude,

but it led to no latitude.

Failure in continuance

gestures the passion,

what I love to,

what I may live with.

Diffidence comes to existence,

if it also leads to failure…..

but attitude was still there to give a try.

Serenity dwells in the mind,

recognized my true love in the sight, &

explored someone who was left behind.

 

Tribute to Goddess Saraswati!

                              

Thou the Ocean of understanding

draping the symbol of purity,

holding the Book of knowledge on one

with full tender & control,

Rosary of concentration on another

so not to sidetrack from the course.

Seated on the Swan of discrimination

acknowledging the real & unreal.

Rhyming the strings of Veena

all collective thoughts & actions.

Bestow upon your grace to me

that purity, knowledge & wisdom.

Bless me! I may reach the shore

if not the Ocean.

I’m, here, begging you the power of knowledge, wisdom, intelligence & purity. Bless me, Goddess Saraswati!

My first blog poem is a tribute to Goddess Saraswati. May she keep always bestowing us with conscience, acknowledgement & wisdom!  :)
