आकाशाच्या अथांग घुमटात असंख्य ढग मुक्तपणे संचार करत असतात.... आपण सगळेच या ढगांकडे काहीना काही मागत असतो... आपल्या भावना व्यक्त करत असतो... कालिदासाने तर या ढगाच्या मदतीने संदेशवहनही केले होते... पण त्या ढगालाही काही भावना असतीलच... त्या ढगालाच बोलता आले तर... तर ?... तो काय बोलेल... याचा विचार करताना, सहज उतरलेल्या या प्रांजळ भावना.....
मेघ गर्जना....!!!
होता मार्दव कंठही मजला...
गगनातील एकाकी मेघ हे वदला....
मम शब्दांनी पळती निष्पाप जीव हे..
मज सोडून जाती, प्राणसखे ही
मम "शब्द प्रकाश" होई असह्य तुजला..
गगनातील एकाकी मेघ हे वदला......
बरसण्याची वाट पहाती येथील हजारो डोळे
विणती माझ्याभोवती असंख्य अपेक्षांचे जाळे
काय वाटते तुला, न कोणी विचारे मजला..
गगनातील एकाकी मेघ हे वदला.....
शब्द बुडबुड्यात ज्ञान गवसत नाही
अन गर्जणारा कधीही बरसत नाही
या जाणिवेने मी शब्दही "गिळला"..
गगनातील एकाकी मेघ हे वदला.....
आकार- रचना ओबडधोबड, दवरूपात येते वेदना माझी
घुसमट माझी तुम्हा वाटते, स्वच्छ मोकळी सकाळ ताजी..
यातूनच स्वरवंचनेचा मार्ग मज स्फुरला...
गगनातील एकाकी मेघ हे वदला......
साठवितो मी विश्वस्पंदने, "ओलावा" अन कोवळी स्वप्ने
दुःखक्षणी मग बरसतो मी, अन टिकवितो मी तुमची मने
माझ्या अंतरातील पोकळी कधी कळेल का रे तुजला......
गगनातील एकाकी मेघ हे वदला....
many a times we are aware about the problems, their causes - their scope - their coverage area.... not only that, we even know the solutions to such problems.. we are able to analyse those issues... and we have the capacity to neutralise them... but, we INDIANS lack in courage... we really need to act with self confidence ? but the question stirring my mind is : CAN WE ?

"dear" Arundhatee Roy........
प्रिय अरुंधती ताई, नमस्कार !
तसा आपला फारसा संबंध नाही अथवा आपली ओळखही नाही ! पण एकूणच लेखकाला आपल्याशी संवाद साधायला ओळख लागतेच असे दिसत नाही. शिवाय, आपण "लेखकांच्या आवाजावर बंधने" आणण्यास ठाम विरोध करणाऱ्या ! त्यामुळे थोडा संयमाचा बांध फुटला तरी, तो माझ्या अभिव्यक्ती स्वातंत्र्याचा भाग आहे, हे समजून घेण्याइतपत उदात्तपणा आणि औदार्य आपण दाखवाल, याची मला खात्री आहे.....!!
आणखी एक, तुम्हाला पत्राच्या सुरुवातीस "प्रिय" म्हणालो कारण, अजूनही आम्ही सुसंस्कृतपणा सोडू शकत नाही, अन स्त्रीचा सन्मान न राखणे ही आमच्या "स्वतंत्र आणि अभिव्यक्तीचा आदर राखणाऱ्या राष्ट्राची" शिकवणही नाही.
तर, नमनाला घडाभर तेल घालून झाल्यानंतर आता मूळ मुद्द्यावर येतो. आपण परवा काश्मीर बद्दल अप्रतिम मुक्ताफळे उधळलीत.... काय तर म्हणे, " ऐतिहासिक दृष्ट्या काश्मीर हे अखंड भारताचा कधीही घटक नव्हते. हे सर्वमान्य आणि स्वयंसिद्ध सत्य आहे. { ??? } आणि हे सत्य सरकारनेही स्विकारले आहे... त्यामुळे काश्मीर मधील लक्षावधी जनतेची स्वतंत्र होण्याची इच्छा न्याय्य आहे...!!!! "
फार आनंद वाटला... त्यातही हे विधान आपण श्रीनगर या शहरातून केलेत... त्याने अधिकच बरे वाटले. तुमची वाक्यरचना, शब्दांची निवड एक्दम फक्कड आहे.. फक्त काही गोष्टी तुमच्या नजरेतून निसटल्या ! त्यांची जाणीव करून देण्यापूर्वी, मला तुमचे अभिनंदन करावेसे वाटते... अखेरीस, भारत हे एक राष्ट्र आहे आणि ते अखंड आहे तसेच ऐतिहासिकदृष्ट्या हे सत्य आहे, हे आपण मान्य केलेत !!! केव्हढी मोठी क्रांती ही ? विचाराने कम्युनिस्ट असूनही असे आपण म्हणालात याने मला नितांत आनंद झाला.. आता एक गंमत सांगतो, ज्या श्रीनगरात बसून आपण हे विधान केलेत, त्या नगराला मौर्य साम्राज्यातील कर्तृत्ववान राजा सम्राट अशोक याने वसविले आहे... फक्त याला इतिहास म्हणता येईल का, हे मला निश्चित सांगता येत नाही... कारण तुमचा ऐतिहासिक कालखंड नेमका कधीपासून सुरू होतो, त्या बद्दल नेमकी एकवाक्यता नाही...
आता आपल्या या विधानांबद्दल माझ्या या काही भाबड्या शंका... { बाय द वे, आम्हा पामरांच्या असतात त्या भाबड्या शंका... तुमची असतात ती अभ्यासपूर्ण मते, विवेकनिष्ठ विवेचने...... अल्पसंख्यांकांवर होतो तो अन्याय... बहुसंख्यांकांवर होतो तो त्यांच्या युगानुयुगांच्या चुकांचा परिणाम.... हे सत्य आता आम्हीही स्विकारले आहे.... }
अखंड भारताची नेमकी ऐतिहासिकदृष्ट्या आणि व्यावहारिकदृष्ट्या घटक असलेली राज्ये कोणती , ती यादी आपण प्रसिद्ध कराल का ? मूळात भारत अखंड होता, या आपल्या विधानात तो कधीपासून याचा उल्लेख नाही. आमच्या [गैर] समजूतीप्रमाणे १५ ऑगस्ट, १९४७ पर्यंत भारत हा एकसंध आणि अखंडच होता... शिवाय, ब्रिटिशांच्या भारतविषयक धोरणांमध्येही काश्मीरला वगळले गेल्याचे ऐकिवात नाही. अथवा तोपर्यंत पाकिस्तानचा तसेच काश्मीरचा उल्लेख ब्रिटिशांच्याही परराष्ट्र धोरणांमध्ये स्वतंत्रपणे आलेला नाही. म्हणजे, सम्राट अशोकापासून सुरू झालेली काश्मीरची भारतासह असलेली अखंडता आजपर्यंत कायम आणि एकसंध रहाते, अशी आपली आम्हा भारतीयांची श्रद्धा. आणि यालाच सर्वमान्य सत्य म्हणत असावेत.... कदाचित आपली सर्वमान्य या शब्दाची व्याख्या वेगळी असेलही, तर कृपया तीही स्पष्ट करावी...
आता त्या पुढील मुद्दा : काश्मीर हे भारताचा एकसंध भाग नव्हते हे सरकारनेही स्विकारलेले सत्य आहे, असे आपण म्हणता ! आजवर काश्मीरचे राज्यपाल नेमके कोणी नेमले ? काश्मीर विषयक समस्या आणि तेथील खटले अंतिमतः कोणाच्या आणि कोणत्या न्यायालयापुढे चालविले जातात तसेच त्यासाठी कोणते दंडविधान वापरले जाते ? आजवर काश्मीरला आर्थिक निधी कोणी आणि कोणाच्या पैशांमधून दिला ? काश्मीरमध्ये निवडणूका कोणाच्या देखरेखी-खाली होतात ? फारूक अब्दुल्ला आणि ओमर अब्दुल्ला हे पितापुत्र भारताच्या केंद्रिय मंत्रीमंडळात होते, ते काश्मीर हा ऐतिहासिकदृष्ट्या भारताचा भाग नाही म्हणूनच नाही का ? { ग्लोबलायझेशन मुळे आता कोणत्याही देशाचा नागरिक कोणत्याही देशाच्या मंत्रीमंडळात जातो का , आणि असे असल्यास राष्ट्र ही संकल्पना न मानणाऱ्या कम्युनिस्टानी याविरोधत काही आंदोलन केले आहे का , हा प्रश्न विचारण्याचा मोह मी टाळतो आहे... }
या साऱ्या प्रश्नांवर मला समाधानकारक उत्तरे सापडू शकली नाहीत. आणि या साऱ्यानंतरही, काश्मीर हे भारताचे नव्हते हे सरकारने स्विकारलेले सत्य आहे असे म्हणायचे धाडस करता येईल का ? तशा बाई तुम्ही धाडसी आहात.... तुम्ही कदाचित धाडस करालही ! नव्हे खर तर केलेही !!!
आता त्यावर व्यक्त करण्यात आलेल्या प्रतिक्रियांवरही आपण आपले थोबाड उसकटलेच आहे.... राष्ट्रीय स्वयंसेवक संघ, भाजपा, शिवसेना अशा तथाकथित "उजव्यां"नीच नाही तर सत्तधारी काँग्रेसनेही आपण आपली विधाने मागे घ्यावीत असे सांगत, अन्यथा कायद्याद्वारे आपल्याविरोधात कारवाई केली जाईल असे "सुचविले" आहे. त्यावर आपण काय मुद्दा उपस्थित केला आहे, व्वा !!!!!
आपण म्हणता की, "मी तर लक्षावधी काश्मिरींच्या भावनाच व्यक्त केल्या... अन या देशात न्यायाला - न्यायासाठी झगडणऱ्याला काही अभिव्यक्ती स्वातंत्र्य आहे की नाही ?... उलट एका लेखकाच्या विचार आणि अभिव्यक्ती स्वातंत्राची अशी गळचेपी करणाऱ्या राष्ट्राची मला कीव येते... ज्या देशात लूटारू, बलात्कारी, जातीय दंगली माजविणारे, सांप्रदायिक अशी माणसे उजळ माथ्याने फिरतात, पण अन्यायाविरुद्ध आवाज उठविणाऱ्या एका लेखकाविरुद्ध अटकेची भाषा वापरली जाते, अशा देशाची मला कीव येते..."
लक्षावधी काश्मीरींच्या भावना व्यक्त करणाऱ्या तुमच्या सारख्या लेखिकेला लक्षावधी काश्मिरी पंडितांच्या भावना, त्या विस्थापितांचे दुःख, त्यांच्या पुनर्वसनाचा प्रश्न याबद्दल काहीच वाटू नये ? भारताच्या ईशान्येकडील अरूणाचलसह इतर राज्ये चिनी अत्याचाराबद्दल, चीनच्या संभाव्य आक्रमणांबद्दल बोलतात, त्यांच्याबद्दल आपल्याला काही वाटू नये ? [ कदाचित आपल्या अखंड भारतामध्ये या गोष्टी येत नसाव्यात....] आजवर विविध दहशतवादी हल्ल्यात मुंबईतील अनेक स्त्रीया विधवा झाल्या, अनेकांचे पालकछत्र हरविले, अनेक कुटुंबे उघड्यावर आली त्यांच्याबद्दल आपल्याला काही वाटू नये ? इतकंच काय, पण इस्लामी देशामध्ये होणाऱ्या स्त्रीयांवरील अत्याचारांबद्दल आपण गुळणी धरून बसता ? शेजारच्या चीनमध्ये, सॉरी, कम्युनिस्ट चीनमध्ये शांततेचा नोबेल पुरस्कार जिंकणाऱ्या "लेखकाला" तुरुंगात डांबले आहे - त्याच्या पत्नीला नजरकैदेत ठेवले आहे याबद्दल आपण काही प्रतिक्रिया व्यक्त करत नाही ? [की आपल्या विधानाद्वारे भारताची सर्वात मोठी लोकशाही ही प्रतिमा आपल्याला "तेजस्वी" करायची आहे ?] Is this your "algebra of infinite justice ?"
आपण बूकर पारितोषिकविजेत्या लेखिका आहात ! आपल्या मताला नाही म्हटलं तरी जगात काही किंमत आहे ! [ की कोण काळं कुत्र आपल्याला हिंग लावून विचारणार आहे, असा तुमचा समज आहे ? ] अशावेळी निदान भारतीय राज्यघटनेच्या सरनाम्याचा {preamble} तरी विचार करा. त्यामध्ये स्वातंत्र्याचे घटक क्रमाने नमूद केले आहेत. तो क्रम असा : विचार, अभिव्यक्ती, विश्वास, श्रद्धा आणि उपासना.... अपेक्षा ही आहे की, आधी विचार करावा आणि मगच त्याची अभिव्यक्ती [expression] व्हावी..... पण किर्केगार्द नावाचा एक विचारवंत एक विधान करून गेला होता... तो म्हणाला की माणसे विचारस्वातंत्र्याचा उपयोग क्वचितच करतात पण त्याबदल्यात त्यांना उच्चारस्वातंत्र्य मात्र हवे असते.... आपण डॉ. बाबासाहेबाना खरे ठरवू इच्छिता की किर्केगार्दला ? आपण आपल्या लेखनातून God of Small Things लोकाना दाखविला होता..... मग आता आपण चीनचा पोपट असल्यासारख्या का बोलता आहात ?
ज्या भारतीय घटनेचा दाखला आपण लेखन स्वातंत्रासाठी देता, त्या भारतीय घटनेमध्येच अभिव्यक्ती स्वातंत्राबद्दल हे नमूद केले आहे की, देशाची अखंडता-एकात्मता आणि सार्वभौमत्व यांना बाधा येणार नाही अशा अभिव्यक्तीला स्वातंत्र्य आहे.... मग ही "स्मॉल थिंग" आपण कशी काय विसरता ?
फार बोललात बाई....! एक बुकर पारितोषिक मिळाले आहे... आता त्याच देशातील जनतेकडून "बुक्क"र पारितोषिक घेऊ नका.... !
आणि हो.... अखंड भारताच्या इतिहासात काश्मीरसह विद्यमान पाकिस्तानचाही समावेश होता - आहे आणि शाश्वत राहील ! त्यासाठी तुमच्या परवानगीची देशाला आणि "Millions of Kashmiree"ना गरज नाही...
जय हिंद !!!!

worried heart - 1
in the walk of life... we often find frustrated people...!!!
the level of frustration , now a days, is so high.. that it is almost, "HELPLESSNESS"...!

can we dare , even to imagine , a problem free INDIA.. ?
do we have enough courage, to accept, who is responsible for all this ?
i am always troubled by this question... whether i m going to suggest any solution to problem or whether i m going to be a spectator..?

food for thought....
karnataka issue is burning like anything...
while going through this issue , i had few questions in my mind..
1] can judiciary intervene vidhan sabha ?
2] is there any standard mode, of confidence motion ?
3] is it a good democratic practice, to face "trust vote" twice, even after it is proved once ?
4] what is the role of whip in such circumstances ?
5] whether schedule 10 and article 102 are applicable to independents ?
6] powers of speaker ?
7] powers of governer ?
8] how a court can ask MLAs not to participate in trust vote.. but at the same time asks them to seal their votes in pocket... and that, those votes will be counted depending on the court's decision about their disqualification.. ?
9] and then, how one can declare , that, bjp wins trust vote ?
10] what if the court declares the "disqualification of MLAs" null & void..
11] in vidhan sabhaa, we, the common people, can't even point a finger @ representatives... what is a punishment to those MLAs who beated the marshals.. ?
12] the congress claims that what happened in assembly is against the democratic practices... what about ,the same congressmen, when they used state assembly hall for sleeping in the night.. ? how they stayed there.. ?
p.s. :
1] in gujrat, mr. modi sweeps municipalties....!
2] नरेन्द्र मोदी प्रचारा दरम्यान "अमित शाह" प्रकरणी कॉंग्रेसने सीबीआयचा गैर वापर केल्याचे सांगत होते.. आणि मतदारानी याला धडा शिकवावा असे सुचवत होते.
३] मग जनमताचा आदर म्हणून कॉंग्रेस अमित शाह याना मुक्त करणार का ?
४] न केल्यास , कॉंग्रेसच्या या धोरणाला लोकशाही विरोधी म्हणण्याचे धाडस प्रसार माध्यमे दाखवतील का..?
while going through this issue , i had few questions in my mind..
1] can judiciary intervene vidhan sabha ?
2] is there any standard mode, of confidence motion ?
3] is it a good democratic practice, to face "trust vote" twice, even after it is proved once ?
4] what is the role of whip in such circumstances ?
5] whether schedule 10 and article 102 are applicable to independents ?
6] powers of speaker ?
7] powers of governer ?
8] how a court can ask MLAs not to participate in trust vote.. but at the same time asks them to seal their votes in pocket... and that, those votes will be counted depending on the court's decision about their disqualification.. ?
9] and then, how one can declare , that, bjp wins trust vote ?
10] what if the court declares the "disqualification of MLAs" null & void..
11] in vidhan sabhaa, we, the common people, can't even point a finger @ representatives... what is a punishment to those MLAs who beated the marshals.. ?
12] the congress claims that what happened in assembly is against the democratic practices... what about ,the same congressmen, when they used state assembly hall for sleeping in the night.. ? how they stayed there.. ?
p.s. :

we would love to be "SACHIN"....
" HATS OFF TO THIS GENTLEMAN.... "
rather, hats off to this "ANGEL" spreading smile all over the world...
sachin has reached another milestone..!
rather another milestone reached sachin...!!!
what a player he is... his hunger for runs, his passion, his balance , his footwork, temperament, running between the wickets, shot selection, steady head while playing shots, his improvisation... all sets him apart !
over 31 thousand runs in international cricket, 95 international centuries, various world records..... n yet this "young man" is batting.... when sachin was playing his 1st ball in international cricket.. murali vijay was 3 years old and the debutant of this test match, cheteshwar pujara was just 1 year old baby.... now with these players our " aajoba" is still playing...not only playing but he still owes his trademark "WETHBIGAR" scheme for bowlers...... this is remarkable.... enroute his knock of 214, i remember one ball... that was bowled by Hilfenhaus.... it was a bouncer... and while leaving that delivery... observe sachin's balance keenly... he put his left hand down.. { the one which holds the bat } and to defend his chest, he used the right elbow....!
in cricket the rule says, if a ball touches the hand which carryies bat , then batsman is out... keeping this rule in his mind, sachin handeled the ball almost at-ease... a truely "PERFECTIONIST"...
i would like to add few more points about him... since 1989 till today... 21 years... and he is in no controversy... on and off the field ! what a character this is.... i would not say unbelievable but surely claim that this is "INSPIRATIONAL"....!
he carries, the huge amount of pressure of, expectations of pectators on his shoulders... he keeps away himself from any wrong activity on and off the field.... he keep showing the path to youngsters... he is an architect of one dream... which tells us that, "with just a wooden piece in your hand , you can bring smile on millions of faces... you can be one of the richest person on this earth.. you can shine your nation's name... you sprinkle joy on almost everybody including your opponent as wel as enemy.... "
he is an example of honesty... he is the best example of humbleness.. he shows the glimpses of national pride through his every single contribution.... he is a regular tax payer... he has his social contribution thru child education... he is a good human being too....!!!!!!
in an interview, after sachin's double hundred in ODI's , his brother nitin truely discribed him...
" देवा दया तुझी ही, तुझीच शुद्ध लीला
लागो न दृष्ट माझी , माझ्याच वैभवाला "
now let us put ourselves in sachin's shooes... if we love him for all his above qualities, then we must inculcate atleast one of them in our day-to-day life.... then...
we should pay taxes regularly... we must say "NO" to curruption.. we must be humble after achiving various heights.. we should contribute to society "SILENTLY".. we should keep ourselves away from any controversy... we must aim for such a "CRYSAT CLEAR" character... we should never complain for, not having, private life because of social responsibilities.... we should never forget our ancesters and their contribution... we should never loose our patience against all odds... we should stop reacting unnecessarily... we should dedicate our best performances to "NSG COMMANDOES"..... we should "behave".. n behave responsibly...
and again , the question in my mind...
we might love to be "sachin ramesh tendulkar", but..
CAN WE ?

reminding our PLEDGE...!!!
IF i were asked under what sky, the human mind has most fully developed some of its choicest gifts, has most deeply pondered on the greatest problems of life and has found solutions,
i should point to INDIA... - Max Mueller
one of the statements i love deeply from the bottom of my heart...
recently i got an opportunity to meet Saadhwee Saraswatee Bhagawateeji.. she was born in USA... but at the age of 25 she visited HARIDWAR.. was fascinated by indian spiritual philosophy... and finally decided to devote her life for this philosophy...
she spoke on very many areas of life.. how spirituality help human being .. how a control over breathing help us to CONNECT with this universe... how to be +ve & stay +ve in this world... But she stirred the strings of my soul by one comment.. during her speech she almost exclaimed.." friends don't get confused. western culture is immature.. it is just like a baby, who is constantly finding the joy outside.. in outside activities.. in UPABHOGA..! but your culture - the indian culture is mature.. that teaches you to find joy within yourself... it is pure joy.. shashwat joy"
i always wonder, everybody from outside india, fascinated either by its culture, by its diversity, by its unity in diversity, by its beauty or by its "SOMETHING" which is unexplicable...
what we don't have ? our culture taugth us to act "ECO- FRIENDLY" thru shlokas. it taught us the power of "MIND".. it taught us how to develope human resource.. it gave us management techniques.. the best ever method of education..i.e.
लालयेत पंचवर्षानी , दश वर्षानी ताडयेत /
प्राप्तेषु षोडश वर्षेषु, पुत्रं मित्रवदाचरेत //
our culture has explained bio-informatics, micro-biology & something like "string theory" severals of centuries ago.. we have warnings on probable global warming.. we have love for nature in our genes.. our culture also shows us the glimpses of democracy... almost all the petals of modern principles...
what we need is to believe our culture..
i remember one story...
it is story of lord krishna and sudama.. both of them were friends of each-other.. were learning at one "gurukul".. under holy guru saandeepani rishi.. but the fact was krishna was a prince while sudama was from the poorest family.. may be "below poverty line" in today's terms...and yet they were learning under one roof... i have never heard that saandeepani rishi asked sudaamaa to pay extra charges if he wanted to learn with prince krishna.. or special tution fees as he was in "limited student's batch"... even then this holy man followed just the one rule...
" FROM EACHONE ACCORDING TO EACHONE'S CAPACITY.. TO,
EACHONE ACCORDING TO EACHONE'S NEED... "
don't you think this is nothing but.. " SOCIALISM "..?
do the world still expect , we indians to accept the credit or " inteleectual property rights " of socialism goes to western world..?
actually we , the young students of this beautiful country , must tell the world what we have..? what we carry thru our genes..? what is our rich heritage..? what we are proud of as we claim in pledge..?
but my bleeding heart asks the same question... CAN WE..?

love and agony....!
tomorrow.... 9th october...!
exactly an year ago, mr. barak hussain obama recieved "nobel peace prize" ...!
everybody shouted then... why he.. how he.. what is the purpose...
but after one year... we even don't bother to recall history...
who is mr. obama ? is he our enemy ? is he who force us to envy his power ? is he the one who force us to throw away our anger..? or is he the one who is really a ""DOVE" in international politics..?
i won't claim anything at the beginning.. but i would just like to recall few things..
1} almost all the politicians in india were blaming RAJ THACKERY for his linguistic agenda ... they MANAGED to link his ideas & concepts with anti national elements... even entire media was n still is projecting him as "ANTI CONSTITUTIONIST"... what was the crux of his thoughts.. "BHOOMI PUTRANA " NOKARYA...
now let us recall mr. obama's speech.. while as a presidential candidate or as president... he had openly claimed that he was worried by the fact that " indians are SNATCHING "their" jobs... america must awake!.."
2} nobody in the world would dare to claim that pakistan is "SAFE" nation and the funds handed over to pakistan won't be used to disturb the universal peace... USA govt is yet to know , how their "HELP" is used by pakistan.. still mr. obama , on the name of promoting democracy in pakistan , aiding her in billions...
3} obama is promoting democracy in pakistan...
he is also promoting "a mosque on ground zero"..
he is promoting democracy on one hand and on the other he is "PUSHING" that idea which is denied by almost every single american....
4} can we dare to say ,that , afgani people were wel-coming USA troops ?
5} can we say that, people of iraq are enjoying tranquill life with the US "aid"..?
6} are we able to locate atleast one obama policy , which brought peace in the world?
look at the beauty,
the one who openly speaks against india is wel-comed warm heartedly by us !
the one who is aiding pakistan economically as wel as thru arms.. we look at him as our friend..
he is the one who is promoting democracy by neglecting people's opinion...
and he is the one who is role model..ambessador of peace...
isn't it?....
mr. obama is neither our enemy..nor we envy him...
we would never like to raise doubts over his intentions..( as they are very "clear"..)
i myself never want any indian to achieve such prize, with such "great" criteria...
the problem is that i sincerely love my country...
and want our media to digest these facts..
can...?
P.S. :
1] since last few months , there were ,many news in indian media, propogating false images of indian defense sector...
2] i have came across data which claims that USA n other western countries have a huge investments in indian media...

JAI HIND...!
tomorrow its 8th october...!
this is our "INDIAN AIR FORCE DAY"...
on the evening of this....
i remembered one photograph...!
it was taken during KARGIL WAR...
a two years old kid... with "confused" look... looking at everyone..... his mother, in traditional pujabee white salwar-kameej..... her eyes , reflecting nothing or if at all anything then probably pains... a huge loss... and on sidelines of this.. there was a funeral......
it was the funeral of war martyr... flt.lt. ajay aahuja !
since then, til today...... that photo struck my mind.... that photo created , one, ever wet wound to my heart...
i have spoken with many relatives of such war martyrs... their mothers, friends, spouse, siblings....
they kept saying...."we are proud of him..!"
if we approach a common man... or any govt official.. or any MLA / MP... everybody claims the same... "we are proud of him... he gave up his life for our nation.. his death showed the path of victory to us.." and all such things...
let us ask ourselves..:
are not we proud of him.. ? are not we all , moved by his unbelievable courage ?
yes we all... we all appreciate his guts.. we all appreciate his love for duties... we all accept his TYAGSHEELTA... there is no scope for denying his brave act...
but , the question which always kick me is that, why we need the loss of life , to be pride of our soldiers..?
why that only during adverse situations or external aggression we unite ? why have we became so reactive ? why, still after sixty years of independence, we are unable, to inculcate the qualities of soldier like discipline , courage and proactive attitude, in ourselves..? beside just the bubble of words , why we were unable to bring vigillance in our life...?
i strongly believe that , if at all we desire to understand life of a soldier... we must inculcate at least some of the VALUES ASSOCIATED WITH HIS LIFE...!
instead of just expressing proud on our martyars.... we should do "SOMETHING" which will bring smile on "their" faces.....
but my heart goes with the same question ... can we ?

PEACEFUL STRESS...!
2012..
RATHER , october 2012 to be precise... wil be the 50th year of sino-indian war. though everybody is not looking @ china as enemy.. let us confess that the wound is still wet... we are still unable to forget those days.. especially when china is over-assertive in its foreign policy... and thus we may define sino-indian relationship as "peaceful stress".... cos the peace is there since 1962.. but we merely able to dilute the stress..!
recently i had been through one article which suggests that india should not miss the opportunity to develope V-JIP alliance... where v : vietnaam, j : japan, i : india & p : phillipines.. as they have common dangers... or at least common challenges from china...
on the other hand i had also came across one idea which claims to develope... A CULTURAL COMMONWEALTH lead by india...! which indeed is a good one.. firstly because it reflects +ve angle as compare to the first idea. secondly because , as indian our natural & psycological flow is towards cultural activities... it is that area where we people forget our boundries.... the best example is, the various television competetions where pakistani people participate....also, this concept might turn out to be phenomenal... as it reflects something which is parallel to "NON ALLIED MOVEMENT "...
what is cultural commonwealth ?
it is finding out the LEAST COMMON MULTIPLE of all the southern & south east asian countries.. through religion.. through yoga.. art.. performing arts.. family systems... music.. human behavior... environment etc...
& then to promote these L.C.M.s in all countries... which will develope a sense of commonhood among the people... which will finally results into developement of our nation on one hand while on the other hand it will create psycological pressure on china.... ! as china is CLOSED & TOTALITERIAN nation... they can never promote pluralistic society within china.... not only that but if we indian started promoting pluralistic society in china through such commonwealth... she merely have a strong answer to this liberal concept....
unfortunately our foreign policy is "REACTIVE" rather than "proactive"..... the question still remains, which is title of my blog.... CAN WE...?
