Self Less Love





It was late noon of 26 April 2014, when i stepped into my office after dropping my car for some minor touch-ups at the service outlet. It was then that my father told me of this N.G.O "India Vision Foundation", with which he had been involved in some little ways. Furthermore, he had been  invited to their event at Springdales Public School, Dhaula Kuan, New Delhi that very day. Having a busy schedule, he asked me if i would like to go and have an experience of it.

Once there, i was awestruck by what i witnessed every moment. I was in an auditorium filled with 200 children whose parents are currently in jail or just got released. Some of the children's parents were also present there. Out of there other initiatives, Indian Vision Foundation looks after the education, talent and skill enhancement of these 200 children. What a great initiative i say! The best part is that everything about every child is well sorted, effectively managed and taken down on papers. These two hundred children are provided free education in schools India Vision Foundation has partnered with. It speaks for the principles and selfless service of this foundation when you discover that every child who is being "brought up" by this foundation has been medically insured. These children are not just confined to education. There is unconditional encouragement from IndiaVision Foundation to explore, enjoy and enhance other talents as skills. I am unable to forget this little girl who came on stage to give a speech and surprised me like anything. Looking at her, i thought it would be something in Hindi in a very callous way. But once she started speaking, i was just looking at her. When people say, "Looks Are Deceptive" maybe this is what they mean. She spoke fluent English with such confidence and such clear pronunciation. India Vision Foundation celebrated 20 years of operation and bringing change in whatever way they could. 

Personally speaking, it brings immense joy and satisfaction to see that we are involved in some very little ways with such an N.G.O which is actually working and trying to change the ground realities of the human nature in a strong way. I was sitting next to this lady, the inspiration for many. Such was my excitement that i felt short of words to express what i felt. Such a humble being. 

I wrote this piece (not because i was told to) because i was moved and happy to see some good people offering self less service in whatever way possible. My respect to the self less and humble team of India Vision Foundation and to the one, under whose leadership this garden blossoms.

Farewell MANMOHAN, MODI Executed

Hi everyone! Almost a month, i scribbled something on this template to communicate and reach out to you through my views. Quite frankly, a lot has been happening on the family front. There's this lady designated (now) as my fiance, soon to be my wife who takes away my time. And she rightfully deserves that. So, bless us with all your good wishes.  But here, i am not to talk of my personal life. I had and have been reading a lot about the declining stature and reputation of Indian National Congress and the steeping heights Bhartiya Janta Party has achieved through these elections. The BJP has won the battle and now we have MR. Narendra Modi as Prime Minister of this great nation called INDIA. But, amid-st all this " halla hoo " of Election 2014, many people have been unfairly positioned and misinterpreted. And the greatest of all of them being affected, Mr. Manmohan Singh, former Prime Minister of INDIA for consecutive 10 years i.e 2004- 2014. Mr. Manmohan Si...

Yeh Bharat Desh Hai Mera (c)

The Thought Good Morning every one. On this day, the 26 of January of 2013, I put forward a poem, a compilation of thoughts about my country India. The poem is called "Yeh Bharat Desh Hai Mera". It is an attempt to bring out both the positives and negatives, this nation has to offer. This is India, a secular country to be called, but still puzzled in communal differences and riots from the times i fail to remember. This is India, where the Poor is taken care of. Where the poor or the poverty struck does not need to care about his meals of the day, for this land is never short on food for charity. This is India, where Politics is a mud-play, where the commons don't matter to the political parties. What matters is there holding within the country. This is India, where riots arise on the stupid reasons of being a Temple built or a Mosque on a piece of land. I refer to the Babri Masjid case. This is India, which was considered a third world country by the glo...

Happy Women's Day

The Thought To all the women of the world, accept this poem for all what you do for (let's admit) the men. Men are great and good but incomplete. And yes, somewhere irresponsible. So i'll not bring much to the embarrassment of my brothers round the globe and straight shot say, "Lady who the one? I say YOU the one!" Accept this poem as a token of love and respect.  A big bow to the woman of today To the thorns of forbearance laid her way To the composure, she holds within her self To the closure , that absorbs everything in itself To the mother, that woke up to get you sleeping To the mother, seeing you sad was she weeping To the beloved, who would fight the world for you To the beloved, for her happiness entirely is you To the sister, who in secret prays for you To the sister, her lips have praise for you To the granny, for you're the apple of her eye To the granny, for she's the "buri nazar" spy ...

The ANTI-Social Media

I just tweeted a few days back " I have always been a little late than others! When people tweeted, i facebook' ed . Today when i am tweeting, i wonder what's next genre? " And i seriously think i am late and lag behind in the race of the virtual world. Furthermore to console and motivate myself, i keep calling myself a bit " Retro " or a bit " Vintage ". I strongly think that Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and many other virtual worlds have encouraged, influenced the participation of  "Mango People" in important matters. The participation and the say of a common man has increased manifold. In fact, it has further broadened the horizons of human understanding about different forms of Art and Cultures. The social media has been a great aide in bringing recognition to this labyrinth of talent scattered all over the world. Politics is a clear example of how social media educates and involves people connected from all over. O...

शुभ दीपावली ~ SHUBH DEEPAWALI

 शुभ दीपावली  Here's wishing you a very Happy DIWALI in advance today. This is one of the times when every city looks beautiful as anything. It does not matter if you witness this scene while you are on one of the streets of any city or you are in a plane flying over the skies of any city or you are in a train crossing the distances from one city to another amid st some villages too. It has to be a visual treat. From small houses to big mansions to corporate towers creating the skyline lit up so beautifully, they surely make up for a visual treat . It's like being invited to the visual Feast of the Almighty himself. All that is good but there's one thing that's not good post Diwali. While we enjoy Diwali with our family and friends by burning crackers, there is a Cumulative Diwali Syndrome being build up in the air which would act very soon on every one, once Diwali is over. We, the people, birds and animals are the ones who suffer from this la...
