I WAS YOUR PRIME MINISTER!

आहुति बाकि यज्ञ अधूरा 

अपनों के विघ्नों ने घेरा 

अंतिम जय का वज्र बनाने 

नव दधिची हड्डिया गलाए 

आओ फिर से दिया जलाये  

-पं. अटल बिहारी वाजपेयी 

25 December 1924, Christmas was being, celebrated in the British India. That time in the house of Krishna Devi and Krishna Bihari Vajpayee in Gwalior, a boy was born. The boy was from a middle class Brahmin family and, who was going to be the 11^th PM of India. The boy was a poet, a diplomat, a Prime Minister and a noble man from his personality. Oh! So sorry I did not tell you, He is Bihari too, “Atal Bihari”. Atal Bihari Vajpayee completed his schooling from the Saraswati Shishu Mandir, and after that, he went to Victoria College in Gwalior, from where he graduated in Hindi, English and Sanskrit. He did his M.A. in political science with distinction from Dayanand Anglo-Vedic College, Kanpur.

He joined the Rastriya Swayamsewak Sangh (RSS) in 1939. He was associated with the youth wing of Arya Samaj too, of which he became the General Secretary in 1944. Due to the riots of 1947 between Hindus and Muslims, he gave up studying law. He also worked for the newspapers of Pt. Deendayal Upadhyaya Rastradharma (a Hindi monthly), Panchjanya (a Hindi weekly) and dailies Swadesh and Veer Arjun.

Vajpayee ji never married and, remained a bachelor throughout his entire life. When he became PM, he performed Pokhran 2, a test to understand the nuclear strength of India. India faced an economic ban from the USA and many other developed nations, but Atal ji did not give up and struggle that situation with great bravery. He faced Kargil war, a backstabbing by Pakistan, that time every leader of the opposition tried to degrade Atal ji, but just like his name “Atal” (Firm, Concrete) he faced every bad situation and survived that time too. He was the PM who initiated Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana, which joined every possible village of the nation; roads from it connected every poorest and backward area of the nation. He laid National Highway network, which changed the view of the infrastructure in our nation. He was the person who dreamed to provide mobile phones to the poorest of the poorest person of the India, and who set the rates so that anyone can afford them.

Everyone, every political leader of this nation, respects him. He was the person who maintained the secularism of the nation in true meaning. He never tried to dishearten any religion in the nation. He has done every possible thing for the nation, created jobs, brought investment, maintained good bonds with neighbour nations, controlled inflation and fulfilled every promise, which he made to the nation. He was, he is and he will always be the best politician in our political history. I wish him a healthy and long life. Thank you, Atal ji for your contribution, to the nation and, in the growth of it. We owe so much to you. I wish you a very happy birthday and merry Christmas. Moreover, friends, yes “He Was Our Prime Minister”.

Is It Necessary?

These days I am reading some news on the television that our Government will cancel the subject of “German” language from Kendriya Vidyalaya throughout the nation. They are saying, they will teach “Sanskrit” instead of “German”. So, is it necessary to do this? I mean what is the inevitability regarding this? Is there urgency that somebody will counter us if we do not do this? No, there is no urgency but the question is about remembering your glorious past and respecting its values.
The Indian culture, especially Hinduism, has a big history. People use to say it is 5000 years old, but I do not believe it because Vedas were written for more than thousands and thousands years ago. A number of great “Maharishi” contributed their part in the formation of the Vedas and this contribution was collaborated by a great “Maharishi” named as Ved Vyas, he divided or differentiated the Vedas equally. They wrote this knowledge in Sanskrit, not in English, German or French. There is a huge knowledge in these Vedas and Purana. Indian people do not need to look at Foreigners for technology and knowledge. If we read these scriptures, Granth (knowledge books) etc. we will acquire so much knowledge. We seriously do not need to look at other countries and discourage our nation, and its values.
German language or any foreign language can provide us the job of a freelancer or an interpreter, but these languages would not give us the knowledge and true meaning of life. It is because the grammar and literature are limited; it is not much. The language, which has limited grammar and limited literature, is not complete and it cannot provide us deeper knowledge about anything. On the contrary, Sanskrit has a wide grammar and there are billions of “Slokas”, which has a complete meaning about every aspect of the life. The language is preserved for the last thousands and thousands years, and I want it to be learned by next generations too. That is why I am favoring Sanskrit over German language.
I advise students to learn as much as the languages they can. They should learn the new advancements in the technology, but people should connect well with the roots of the nation too. They should respect their values, culture and traditions, but they should not feel discouraged about anything, which makes them think that it is valueless in this time. I hope I have raised my feelings from the bottom of my heart.

A Pilgrimage to Remember!

Friends, today I am going to discuss a different thing. I have discussed about many topics in the past, such as food, travelling, politics, finance, etc. but today I will discuss about a religious place, a pilgrimage which has a great importance for Hindus. The place is – Vaishno Devi, it is in Jammu –Kashmir, the state lies in the far north corner of India. The place or the temple is situated at a height and I am going to tell you, about my journey, what I saw, what I observed and what I felt during my visit.

After Diwali, my family decided to visit this Holy place. So on the next day of Diwali we went to J&K, from Baijnath using National Highway-24. The view and scenery in my place, is the major assets. Huge mountains covered with snow throughout the year, gives a heavenly look to the topography here. I have always dreamed to visit the Malta Vaishno Devi temple, but couldn't visit it ever before. You can say it was the will or permission of the almighty. It took us approximately 8 hours to reach there, saw the serenity of Himachal, the busyness of Pathankot and Jammu, Big highways in Srinagar and a crowded place named as Katra. Culture is the last stop from where you have to leave your vehicles and start your journey to the temple.

You can enjoy the horse riding, auto-rickshaw, Palki (a chair which is lifted by some people from front and behind), but the real fun or real test by the trekking. It takes too much strength and the trekking is not easy, but if you have will power and devotion this journey won’t cost you anything. The view from the top is extremely beautiful and breathtaking; the temple complex is always crowded throughout the year. You have to wait and prove your patience that you deserve to have “Darshan”. The heights and chants in “Bhairo Temple”, the cave in “Ardh Kuwari” is just awesome. It took us 15-16 hours to climb and come down from the heights, believe me it was one of the best and the most thrilling journeys I have ever done. It was a pilgrimage to visit. A place to remember!

The Real Iron Man !

31st October has a great importance in the History of Indian. On this auspicious day a stalwart, a legend was born, stalwart who provide us the present map or geography of our India. A son of a farmer who combined 565 princely states into the largest democracy of the world - Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel – A man who constructed India. A person who was raised in poverty, worked hard for his place, never compromised with the rights of poor people and with his principles. He is often known often known as the "Iron Man of India" or "Bismarck of India", he is also remembered as the "Patron Saint" of India's civil servants for establishing modern all-India services. It was he who introduced IAS exams, by the motif to connect more and more youth in the Governmental machinery.
He was raised in the countryside of Gujarat. Sardar Patel was a successful lawyer, but due to the influence of Gandhi ji he left law and joined the Freedom movement. He was a strict devotee of Mahatma Gandhi and he believed in the Gandhi ji’s ideas and philosophy. Patel did not hesitate in using the policy of ‘Saam- Daam- Dand- Bhed’ (to teach, to convince, to punish and to differ) for achieving his objective among the owners of princely states. Such was his resolution that princely states were left with no other option but to merge with India, for the good of India, for the idea of unbreakable India. He is considered as very bright and genius leader of all time, he was a visionary person and was always successful in judging someone.
After winning the election of congress president, in 1946 Sardar Patel was going to be the first prime minister, but due to Nehru’s betrayal he could not achieve it. He was not given the respect which he deserved. I think we should have “Sardar Patel” in many things like currency, we should have a national holiday on 31st October; poverty removal plans, we should have statues on the honor of Sardar Patel. Bad luck of our nation is that we have named everything on the Nehru-Gandhi family, but not anything in the name of Sardar Patel or Bhagat Singh. It’s really sad that most of the Indians don’t know about his contribution, his family, his principles, but we can give a huge lecture on Nehru and Gandhi, really it can happen here. He took responsibility of all India except J&K, he gave full result on adding every princely state, while Nehru took responsibility of Jammu & Kashmir and he failed badly.

31st October, 2014 GOI is going to conduct a “Run for Unity” on the honor of Sardar Patel. I expect this initiative could be more successful than expected. I hope every citizen of India could realize the involvement of him in uniting the nation. He is an unsung hero of, he never asked for any favors and he never got what he actually deserved. We should honor this person every time; I hope I have expressed my feelings among you. I hope you have enjoyed it while reading!

My Views For Diwali !

Diwali - a festival of lights. Every Hindu who lives anywhere in the world, enjoys it too much. People like me hang around for this Festival for an entire year. We enjoy this festival too much, clean our habitations, our surroundings, and meet our friends, neighbors and even enemies. It is the festival which unites us with our people, but in this article I want to share something which is hurting me for a long time. I want to share those things which I do not like these days, things which people reveal or share when any Hindu festival arrive, due to an agenda.

For the last few days, I am watching news/ads/reports on internet, newspapers and television which are screaming that don’t burn crackers, they will harm our nature our climate etc. etc. and they also give unnecessary and wrong data that Diwali festival causes maximum pollution than any other Festival in the world. They say carbon dioxide emission is increased by this festival and it must not be celebrated by Indians. They say Mother Nature is disturbed by this festival and Indian people cause a huge amount of pollution and they should not celebrate this festival by any means.

Why those so called “Nature-Lovers” don’t protest during any Muslim festival when a number of innocent cattle and animals are slaughtered? Why they don’t protest against those nations who burn a huge number of fireworks at New Year eve, why they don’t say anything at that time? But before any Hindu festival they start protesting, waterless Holi, Rakhi less Rakhi, cracker less Diwali etc.

These so called lovers don’t protest when a number of people buy cars, and emit huge amounts of greenhouse gases and CFC's. They don’t realize that a car emits more CFC's in a year than a festival, where people burn crackers only for four hours at maximum. If these people love nature, so much, why they don’t stop purchasing cars.

I respect nature, so much, but I don’t think a festival could harm our nature, this much. I believe in philosophies that if you do something against nature, try to return in bigger amount. Plant more trees so that greenhouse gases could be limited. Stop setting an agenda against Hindu festival, we love our nature more than foreign countries, we worship it and we realize that no one has any right to spoil it. We treat nature as our mother, from our heart not for an agenda.
Anyway, I am going to celebrate Diwali to the fullest and I will plant trees on the next day too, I suggest you to celebrate it the way you want. May this Diwali bring you a lot of happiness and prosperity!

"MODI"son Jampacked Garden!

Wow! Seriously, I am speechless after hearing this 75-minute long speech by our honorable Prime Minister, Narendra Modi. I affixed to my couch and Times Now, for the complete 75 minutes I did not change my TV channel. I believed that it was going to be the most memorable speech by NaMo, which became true after 75 minutes. He talked about 125 crores people of the nation, and touched every issue, which have concern with us.

He started the speech with "Youth Centric" messages. Before him, every PM use to talk and talk and talk, but they never raised the faith of the youth. But there is something special about NaMo he motivates youth with his speeches and this speech was the same, he said," Desh ki 65% population below 35 years ki hai". It means the 65% population of our nation is below 35 years, it means we have a huge resource of talent, speed and will. Whatever youth of the nation wants to achieve we can, we are not dependent on someone, we can achieve our dreams on our own.

The 21st century belongs to Asia, the people of Asia. Now it is on us how we are going to move it towards India. He also conveyed at Madison Square "Indian People who are living in US have changed the perspective of World about India, we don't play with snakes, we play with the mouse and when we play with it we roll the world around us". The NRIs has made us proud, they have contributed more in foreign nations and have changed the views of native citizens, and they earned respect.

NaMo also said India is rich with democracy, demography dividend and demand. The Lok Shabha 2014 election is the biggest example of democracy, where people of our nation crowned a person as PM of the nation who is from a humble background. Our nation is Youth and in future, the world will need skilled and young people in various fields of modern era. We have a great market; people can purchase whatever they wish so if any MNC wants to taste success, they cannot achieve it without India.

He gave a good example of Gandhi ji, he said that Gandhi ji involved every citizen of our nation against British and made Independence movement as "People Movement". Same as for development it should be a "People Movement", without involvement of citizens; it will not be possible to become a developed nation. Which is true Govt. can make laws, acts etc. However, it is about people who make these laws successful so if we want to be developed, every individual should start contributing in it. It will not be possible without individual efforts.

He talked about every Stalwart who contributed his role in our nation, like Swami Vivekananda, Gandhi ji, Sardar Patel. He also talked about our talent specially we can do the work with less resources and budget as we have done in case of "Mangalyaan". What I have realized about NaMo that he understand what the audience wants, which makes him a dynamic leader of the present era. People love him and they do direct conversation with him, whenever he talks.

Again, I am speechless after seeing such a response for him in US. After Narendra Das Datta, aka Swami Vivekananda, another Narendra made India proud. Madison Square Garden has known for Elvis, Jackson, Ali vs. Frazier, but from now, onward it will know, for Modi too. He inspired 18000 people there, but this number is more than this, the inspired people are in every nation who has watched it. Really today world knows again that India is more than a market, It is a super power and we have a super prime minister named as, Narendra Damodardass Modi.

Vande Matram!

The NaMO Story- Part1

Okay! How should I start this article, I really don’t know, my way may not be appropriate, or you may say I could do better. On 17^th, our Prime minister has completed 64 years of his life. A person who belongs to a poor backward family, who spent his so many days selling tea in railway coaches. A person who worked really hard and cashed every opportunity whichever he got. Right now he’s PM of our nation and perhaps the most popular leader of the present era. He was CM for 13 years of Gujarat, a state which was in debt up to 2001 and right now which is the most prosperous state of our nation.

As I told you he belongs to a poor family, his father use to sell tea at Vadnagar railway station, when he (Modi) was 12 years old he use to help his father in the lunch time. He was an all rounder student in his school, excellent in studies, a good orator, and a good actor. He use to represent his school in many district level declamation competitions. He left his home at the age of 17 years, making a prophecy right by a saint that he will be a politician or he will be a saint in his lifetime. He returned to his home at the age of 19 again. He was associated with Rastriya Swayamsewak Sangh (RSS) since his school time, RSS gave him discipline, punctuality for his lifetime and he got the feeling of patriotism from there. Narendra Modi has a big impact of Swami Vivekananda on his life; Modi ji considers Swami Vivekananda as his role model. He believes in “Karma Yoga”, “Karma yoga” teaches the role of work/karma in the life of man, it also teaches the non necessity to think about the result of any work.

Being a Gujarati he knows how to do business with things, even with those things which are useless. I have read many examples on internet and told by many Guajarati’s that he knows how to do the things. Since October 2013, I am observing him and his moves very closely, and from my experience I can assure NaMo will change the perspective of our nation towards the world. His focus is only and only on development. Job-creation, inflation is on his main agenda.

“Saugandh Mujhe Is Mitti Ki Main Desh Nahi Mitne Doonga”

It’s been 120 days since he sworn in as 16^th PM of our nation. He is doing his work with complete dedication. I hope his hard work and will power, will pay him. I hope our economy will revive and inflation, unemployment will disappear as soon as possible. He is trying to end the barriers between various departments of our system such as environment, aviation, road etc. He got a warm welcome in Japan, which is going to invest in bullet train corridor from Mumbai to Ahmadabad. Japan is a developed nation and that nation is going to invest more in our economy, which will be a big boost in our nation.

It’s a series about NaMo, and his moves. I hope you enjoyed it reading. Visit for more!

HINDI-OUR PRIDE !

14 September, every year we celebrates this date as Hindi Diwas. On this day in 1949 the Constituent Assembly of India had adopted Hindi written in Devnagari script as the Official Language of the Union. Hindi Diwas is celebrated all through the India to show the importance of Hindi language in the country. The Hindi language in India has a long history, and it is the language spoken as a mother tongue and known as the 5th largest language of the world.

This language is the proud of numerous citizens. From J&K to Kerala, From Gujarat to Arunanchal it’s a thing to have pride and honour. Majority of citizens in India especially in Himachal, Punjab, Haryana, Maharashtra, U.P., M.P, Bihar, Delhi, and Rajasthan uses Hindi language to communicate with other people. This language is termed as the most stable language in the world because it is originated from Sanskrit and it has the fixed and complete grammar. Whatever rules and norms were used 5000 years ago are still used in 2014, what I mean to say the language which has a stable and fixed grammar, is considered as the best language.

But I have something in my heart which I want to share with you readers. Today, our country is facing a serious situation with Hindi language. Majority of people feels shame which is seen in metropolitan cities. When I was in college I always observed that many people use to give priority to English than Hindi. They feel shame when they had to speak in Hindi. Some people have made a new language “Hinglish” a combination of both languages for their comfort which is a mixer of both, which is wrong. I am not against English but I support Hindi too much. I feel comfortable in Hindi, I express my views better in it so why I need to make myself a victim of a foreign language. A language whose grammar isn’t fixed and which changes every time.

People in our country whose native language isn’t Hindi, speaks English or their local language. It’s good they respect their local languages but they should not protest when government of India tries to make Hindi as official language of the country. It makes me sad when they protest on this issue, it’s a matter to have honour but they start an unnecessary debate against the central government. Hindi is our pride why we make such statements which hurts sentiments of “Hindi lovers”.

We should keep in mind if we want to do development of our intellect, knowledge and country. We can’t do development on the support of a foreign language; we can develop with the support of our native language. Take example of every developed nation whether it’s Japan, China, Russia, France, Germany etc. they developed their nation with the help of their education and their education is based upon their native language not on English. So if India wants to be a super power we have to start our education, our judiciary system, our executive everything in Hindi. It will be helpful to many people to understand science, literature etc. in their own language.

I hope we won’t celebrate Hindi Diwas as a day, but we celebrate it as a day of honour and pride!!
