2020 - The Ending Of An Year Or The Beginning Of An Era



"Aprreciation" is a realisation that happens after one is devoid of it and stuck in tough times in life. It gets quite easy to curse every moment of our life to shift the blame or the irresponsibility from us to life itself. 

"Ohh!! What kind of life is this!!!"
"Ohh! This was destined to happen to me"

I was in London, Trafalgar Square on the new year's eve welcomin 2020 with my better half and friends. I was in a total mood of appreciation towards the universe for bein so kind and gracious for giving me the moments that i was experiencing and with the people i was in that moment.

And then came the mighty 2020

This year was and is an acknowledgement slip to be filled in for all the good times in the past years of our life that went unnoticed by us. This year was that rough patch of the road, which made us say "Thank god! The road until now wasn't like this since we started from home!". This year made us realise the true value of words like FAMILY, RELATIONSHIPS, TRUE WEALTH, MENTAL HEALTH, REAL TREASURES OF LIFE, GRATITUDE, THANKFULNESS, POSITIVITY, OPTIMISM & many more. 

2020 came and it brought along a deadly virus, COVID-19. A virus which in comparison to influenza did nothing much but still hurt nations, economies, World to be precise. Almost everyone who reads this post in there lifetime would have a horrid memory of losing someone in there family, near and dear ones due to coronavirus in year 2020. Never ever has the world unanimously gone on a complete lockdown fighting against one common enemy which is completely intangible yet highly dangerous. Although, this has been mothe nature's quite an expensive way of educating the mankind of maintaining cleanliness, hygiene and respect towards the mother nature too. 

It has been almost like fighting against a ghost. Much alike the usual years, sadly the crime rate also rose this year but rose exponentially as economies almost collapsed or came to crutches, truth being told. 

What needs to be done now?

What needs to be done now and forever is to instill a feeling of gratitude and thankfulness in people around us and the forthcoming generations. The single most powerful feeling in this world that gives strength and willpower to everyone for a better tomorrow. What needs to be taught is the art of appreciation for the gift of life, that too of a human. 

We could have been born an insignificant ant or a bee, cockroach and die. But we were rewarded the life of a human. That is the ultimate gift, that truly needs to be appreciated. 

What further needs our attention is the narrow focus on mental health, willpower and other cognitive issues to be looked from a broader perspective and discussed in open gatherings. 

It has been real long, i met you here through my words. I am just saying what i feel and have been feeling from quite a long time in this year. As i write , i speak to you and myself and remind myself to stay strong and fit mentally, emotionally and physically. 

If that happens, The world is our playground.

Best Wishes
Dimpesh Rajani

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...
