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!

Apple Pay is the "Future" for Online Payments?

Apple is the one of the most famous brand in the mobile phone industry. The look, the design, the touch sensitivity, the features of Apple are awesome, they are way ahead than Android. Apple is a status symbol and everybody wants to purchase it, but here we are going to talk about an extremely first-class service which Apple provides to its customers-Apple Pay.

Apple Pay is the latest innovation of the company, it is a service by which we can buy a number of products online. Company’s new electronic payment system, is an innovation of the highest level. A number of critics have agreed that Apple pay is the future of electronic payments. But the company needs to understand that if they want a global success they need to clear some big hurdles, right now it is available in iPhone 6 and iPhone 6+. The best thing I like about Apple Pay is that we need to use our fingerprint to validate a purchase on our cell phones, which will be the future of payments for goods and service. Once again Apple has shown its vision for the future.

The big difference between Apple Pay and Google Wallet is that, it is user concentric. It is not considered for the credit card companies or retailers. It is designed to make it easier for the customers, which is better than cash, cards. The card payment systems are simple to use, but they are not as easy as Apple Pay. Payment via cards requires multiple steps, where you swipe and type. Sometimes we require to hit multiple check boxes on multiple screens with an electronic pen. It’s a headache, and there’s nothing more annoying than waiting for a transaction in front of your mobile/laptop screen. But in Apple Pay, you touch your iPhone to the terminal, brush the home button with thumb and your work is done. The security provided by Apple is really good; there is no scope where we can face a deception, where we don’t need to worry at all regarding money. Many people may say Apple Pay will fail because Google Wallet failed, they failed because they tried to replace some existing parts of another system. While Apple has smartly partnered with the credit card companies and provided solutions for merchants in their pockets, making it value add, not a replacement.

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!

A Must Visit Place, Mcleodganj !

It is a Saturday evening and I want to tell you something today. Let us talk about some relaxation and change your mood. Last Saturday, I got a chance to visit a place. I have visited this place many times before, but believe me; I find it very new, like I have never been here before. The place I am talking about is Mcleodganj, Dharamshala. Well, it is one of the most visited places of Himachal Pradesh but I am going to describe Dharamshala in a different manner. You will love the way I will describe this place. Dharamshala is the head quarter of Kangra, but has a big tourist value too.

The place was astonished and damn beautiful; the way to Mcleodganj surrounded by fog. Fog in the mountains is the sexiest thing you can ever imagine. The big mountains cover with fog is one of the best view anyone can get, which is a dream of any photographer, to capture these breathtaking views. The Dhauladhar is one of the most watchable mountain range in the world. These mountains covered with heavy snow always, and there is a slight chill in the atmosphere even in the summers. Well, you have to experience this place once in your lifetime.

The St. Xavier church is the first place, which must visit while travelling to Mcleodganj; it is nearly 120 years old. This is the only place, where you will find enough road space where you can park your car and without any damage or harm, you will surely find it on the same place. Mcleodganj is famous for the Tibetan Buddhist Monastery; it is a serene place, where you will hear the chants of Lamas. It is also a crowded place where you will catch so many foreigners, Indians and Tibetans, but believe me this place is worse from the point of view of a driver, crowded and broken roads, and a huge risk of accident.

From Mcleodganj, there is a place called as “BhagsuNag” this place is a Hindu pilgrimage, where you will find clear water, this place has a historical importance, which you will know when you visit it. Deodar trees surround this holy place.

This trip was a memorable one, but I wish some social problems and inconvenience could be solved as soon as possible. Overall, do visit this place you will love the serenity, peace and genuine nature of the people here. Yes, please do taste hot momos and thupka to conclude your trip. A must visit place before you die! I can say proudly say that. Hope you have liked my article.

SPIRULINA - A SUPER FOOD!

There are so many ways to provide shape and size of a human body. No, I am not talking by some medical procedure, I am talking about the food/plant by which we can change our physique, and you may say some protein supplement can do it, but I am talking about a food, which provides more protein than all these protein supplements that food known as Spirulina. Spirulina is a micro alga that appeared on Earth there are over 3.5 billion years, which puts it among the oldest terrestrial beings. It grows in both fresh and salt water, 100 grams of Spirulina provides 1213 KJ (290 K cal) of energy, 24 g of carbohydrates, 7.72 g of fats, 57.47 g of proteins and many other essential vitamins.

Spirulina is termed as, “super food”, it contains high amount of protein, minerals and vitamins, it is capable of curing many deficiencies, and diseases even cancer. Yes, it is capable of fighting against cancer too, because it contains the tendency to increase the interleukin-12 in the body, which has the power to fight against the carcinogenic agents.

This super food can help in gaining the weight, a number of skinny people use various protein supplements, which are available in the market, and they should know that these supplements would not give them the weight, which they desire, because they do not work for everybody. Spirulina is a natural supplement, which works for everybody, it increases the appetite and which results in improved digestion, and subsequently it leads to the improved excretory system. When the system of a body is good and healthy, it results in great physique. Likewise, Spirulina helps in losing the weight.

It has beta-carotene, which is an antioxidant, which improves the glow on the face and subsequently results in anti aging, many people of the age 30-40, but their face shows a different story, this super food is essential for them to fight against aging properties.

Spirulina has many health benefits, if I write each and every, one of them you may be tired of reading. In addition, I believe, in the 21^st century, many countries are suffering from poverty and their people facing malnutrition, for those countries this super food can provide enough nutrition. They would not suffer from malnutrition and hunger, if they provided enough amount of Spirulina. It is available in flakes, tablets and capsules and the cost of this is not much.

It can also provide revenue to the people who harvest Spirulina in their fields, majorly ponds. It can grow there and I believe it can transform the economic condition of those farmers. It may be a super food, but I believe it should be termed as “Super-Boon”.

CRUSADER AGAINST CHILD LABOUR !

Today, I am going to talk about an issue, which is a big challenge among the 21^st century. A challenge where many children face a heavy load of work, they should have books in hands, but they hold heavy machinery, they should play in playgrounds but they do labour. I am talking about “Child Labour” issue. I know there is poverty in our nation and in many countries too. Nevertheless, it is a harsh truth that many contractors, who are working in various sectors, use these poor family children for their personal benefit. They gave them less wage, less food, no proper accommodation, and no proper time to sleep but a huge load of work. These children face a serious life-ending situation in these firms every day. However, there are many people, who behave like an angel for these children, such an angel is – Kailash Satyarthi.

He is an Indian children’s right activist who was born on 11 January 1954 in Vidisha, M.P. He was an electrical engineer, but besides having a lustrous career ahead, he chooses to be a social worker. In 1983, he started “Bachpan Bachao Andolan” where he rescued over 80,000 children from various forms of slavery and helped them in rehabilitation, re-integration and education. Satyarthi campaigned many social issues concerning children. Being a social worker, especially in India, he faced so many life-threatening attacks his life is not easy. Every day, being a child savior, he faced many such threats, but he did not give up and for the last 25 years, he is continuously working for betterment of children.

"If they cry for their parents, they are beaten severely, sometimes hanged upside down from trees and even branded or burned with cigarettes,"

Today, he got the noble prize for peace with Malala Yousafzai of Pakistan. Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore to him, there is only seven Indians who have achieved this accolade until now. He is the second person from India who will get it for peace, before him Mother Teresa got this in 1979. He made a social awareness of this issue, due to which number of child labour has decreased in our nation, which is 4.3 million until now. I hope he will succeed in his mission.

“One life saved, is as equal, of saving generations”

I hope our Government will make a strict law against child labour and a serious punishment for those who treat these children like their slaves. I hope he achieves success in his mission, which he has set for himself. May this savior free every slave child of this word! Saviors like Satyarthi are required in every place. He talks about “GLOBALIZATION OF COMPASSION”, I wish his agenda, will be acquired by every nation and I hope people will not see poor children as slaves from now, but like their own children.

Satyamev Jayate

Well, Today I saw an episode of “Satyamev Jayate” and it was focussed on the role of sports in the life of an individual. You may say what’s new in this we know about it, but the way Aamir Khan presented this show was amazing. I was a sportsman too during my school and college life, I have a good experience and knowledge of sports, but the way “Satyamev Jayate” happened today I was delighted. Seriously this television show is my all time favourite and I never miss any episode. They raise all the issues which have major concern with the Indian society. They show true picture of any issue, related personal experiences and they also tell the solution to overcome that issue. I mean they bring positivity by a great eye-opener episode; every episode of “Satyamev Jayate” is a big secret until it gets on-air.

Today in the first episode of season-3, they talked about role of sports in an individual’s life. They talked about a guy who was a gangster once, but one football changed his life. He was transformed from a goon to a sober guy. They gave a good example of Phogat sisters from Haryana who got success by fighting against all odds, survived from the social humiliation and brought glory for their family and nation. Their father gave a very good reply to society when they were practising wrestling in their village that if a woman can be a Prime minister why she can’t be a wrestler. Wow! What a thinking he has. Next they gave an example of Subham Jaglan a nine year old golfer who has won 110 tournaments till now. Our country has a great talent and potential these three examples were enough to explain that. We have a huge amount of talent, it’s clear.

Now what is the problem? I mean why we are not successful in clinching gold medals in Olympics, why we struggle in getting one gold in the mega event. Why we don’t learn from China, they have excellent infrastructure, management and people who really contribute for the nation without any self gain. We should learn from our neighbour nations who are smaller in size as compared to India but they perform better in sports than India.

We should set free our sports administration from political interference. It is sucking our talent and calibre; they usually prefer their favourite persons in the teams, and the people who have no resources faces degradation from them. Seriously a talented person should get enough chances to show his talents in every field. We should expect good performers in sports not some people who are there due to the favour of few politicians. I expect our new Govt. to make a law against those politicians who spoil the sports and play dirty politics there. I hope our parents will wake up and let their children to play any sport which ever they like. They shouldn’t force their child to do what they want; they should set him/her free to choose their career. I hope our Indian society will learn something from our sports heroes. I hope my country will perform better in Rio 2016!

A TALE OF BAIJNATH!

Its Dussehra, on this day Lord Rama defeated King of Lanka Ravana. It’s a day of victory of truth/good over evil. This day is very auspicious in our nation and it is also a countdown for biggest festival of Hindus, “Diwali”. But on this blog I am not going to talk about “Dussehra”, I am going to tell you why in Baijnath – my village we don’t celebrate “Dussehra”.

Religious belief keeps the people of Baijnath from celebrating Dussehra. At Baijnath, a town of Kangra district located about 60 Km from District Headquarter Dharamshala, people do not burn the effigy of Ravana.

According to the Purana, “This is the place where Ravana worshipped Shiva as a sincere devotee and burning his effigy would bring bad luck for the people of this area,” Ravana worshipped Lord Shiva here and he is considered great a great devotee in Baijnath and burning the effigy of such a great devotee was not right. Legend has it that during the Treta Yug, Ravana worshipped Lord Shiva on Kailash and offered his 10 heads in a Havan Kund.

Lord Shiva was touched by this deed and agreed to accompany him to Lanka. Shiva took the shape of “ling” and asked Ravana not to place it on the ground on his way. However, when Ravana reached Baijnath, he felt the need to answer nature’s call (toilet). On seeing the shepherd, Ravana handed over the “ling” to him. The shepherd, on finding the “ling” very heavy, put it on the ground and it got installed there.

Some decades ago few people tried to burn the effigy of Ravana on Dussehra, up to next Dussehra they faced an enormous financial loss or they went seriously ill. You can connect that with the wrath of Lord Shiva. There is no shop of goldsmith in our area because of the same religious belief. We have heard from our ancestors that Lord Shiva hates gold and Ravana's Lanka was made of gold, which reflects a disagreement between the lord and the devotee. You can’t open a jewellery shop in this town, those who opened it, got burned.

Anyway we love Lord Shiva too much and we have no problem with not celebrating the Dussehra here. It’s a place of Mahadev and every inch of this holy town is filled with chants of “Harr Harr Mahadev”. So while Ramleela is enacted on stages across the country and effigies of Ravana and his brothers are also made, this town keeps away from it.

Remember Me?

Its October 2^nd, as we know it is the birthday of Mahatma Gandhi, a non-violent leader whom we call as our “Father of The Nation”. But today I am going to talk about a person, whom we have forgotten in present era. I am talking about “Lal Bahadur Shastri” second Prime Minister of India. One of the most honest PM of our nation, son of farmer and a very humble person. He shared the birth date with Gandhi, and that’s why I think people don’t remember his birthday, because they are too busy in celebrating Gandhi ji’s birthday.

Shastri ji was born on 2 October, 1904 in Ram agar in Varanasi in Kayastha Family. Shastri ji didn’t believe in caste discrimination, dropped his title. Later, when he graduated at Kashi Vidyapeeth, he was given the title of Shashtri. He was a strong believer of Gandhi ji but very few of us know that he was influenced by Lokmanya Tilak in his early days.  In 1921, when Mahatma Gandhi call for youth to come out of schools and colleges and join the Non-Cooperation movement, Shashtri paid heed to that call. This also marked Shashtri’s first move towards India’s freedom.

Lal Bahadur Shastri went to jail as early as when he was 17-years-old. Jailed for his participation in non-cooperation movement, Shastri was later let-off as he was only 17 (minor) then. In 1930, during the Civil Disobedience Movement Lal Bahadur Shastri was again jailed for his participation in it. This time Shastri served a jail-term of two and half years. Shastri learned about western philosophers and social reformers during his jail-term. Lal Bahadur Shastri was also arrested in 1940, and 1941 till 1946. The fact will surprise you a bit that Shastri spent almost nine years in jail in total during India’s Independence activism.

Shastri ji was the person who starts the appointment of woman conductors in the transport facilities; also it was him who ordered using jets of waters instead of lathis to disperse the crowd when he was minister of police department.

“Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan”

It is also very well known that after Nehru’s death, Indira Gandhi was offered as PM’s post but she refused it and after that Shastri ji was offered as PM post. It was he who made a committee regarding prevention of corruption, Shastri ji was a short man but his will power and his determination was bigger than his heights.

In the war of 1965 he was the leader who led from the front and gave a free hand to the Indian army that time, Shastri ji was expired on 11 January 1966, he suffered cardiac arrest, but his death is still a mystery.

In today’s world, when we see moral and ethical life of political leaders and parties reaching to a new low, it is surprising to observe that our past had given us great leaders who stood the test of time with integrity, conviction and clarity. Shastri ji was one such a character!

"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!!

Swami Ji !

                                                

                                               SWAMI VIVEKANANDA,CHICAGO 1893

Dear readers, today I am going to express my views about a stalwart, a stalwart who showed a bigger image of India among the people of the USA, a person who changed the views and opinion of the world about India, the person who got this credit is, named as “Swami Vivekananda”. The real name of Swami Ji was Narendra Vishwanath Datta and was born on 12 January, 1863 in Calcutta, Bengal presidency, British India. He was a saint and he was a disciple of Ramakrishna Paramhans. He was the major figure who introduced the philosophies of Vedanta and Yoga to the Western countries. He was a major force in the revival of Hinduism in India, and contributed to the concept of nationalism in colonial India

He was the founder of the Ramakrishna Mission and Ramakrishna Math. He is still remembered for his maiden lecture in Chicago, 1893 with his inspiring speech began with “Sisters and brothers of America....”

“You have to grow from the inside out.

None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher, but your own soul.”

He is the role model of many great Indian persons, including our current PM Narendra Modi. He did a lot of work on Hinduism and its philosophies. His theories are on Raja Yoga, Karma Yoga, Bhakti Yoga and Janna Yoga are worth to read. I recommend every citizen of any cast; creed or religion read Karma Yoga. It’s a summary about life and tells to focus on work, which is worship. In India he is treated as patriotic saint and his birthday is celebrated as National Youth Day.

"Arise, awake, and stop not till the goal is reached"

I can write a bigger article about Swami Ji but his theory and his persona can’t be explained in an article, you seriously need so many articles to describe the aura of Swami Ji. His life was, dedicated to Hinduism and humanity. His theories which he gave in his lifetime are still true, not one or two but everyone. He was a visionary person, and I respect his philosophies too much.

“We are what our thoughts have made us; so take care about what you think. Words are secondary. Thoughts live; they travel far.”

He gave an inspiring lecture on 9/11/1893 in religious parliament in Chicago. After that lecture views of the Western world was, completely changed about India, from a poor and backward country India to a spiritually rich nation. He gave his views on peace and harmony, but on 9/11/2001 few terrorist done opposite of those views in the USA. Striking a plane on world trade centre was seriously a murder of Swami Ji’s views, murdering a no. of innocent people was a crime.

I wish the world could start following Swami Ji’s views and ideology for a better tomorrow, free from terrorism and blood. Enough for now because I have so many things to share about Swami Ji, which I will share one after another. Keep reading!

WHAT J&K SHOULD UNDERSTAND!!!

Today my article is violent, exasperate, somehow sarcastic, full of anger and is going to displease few people. Jammu & Kashmir is facing a serious tragedy nowadays. Rain happened there vigorously for the 7-10 days, and due to which Kashmir valley is flooded completely. Many homes, shops, roads, bridges, hospitals, public places are damaged completely due to this heinous flood. A majority of people have lost their homes, cattle, lands, and their jobs. This lose is really huge and I am not an economist that I will tell you the figure of this gigantic lose. The flood is everywhere what I can see from news media. Indian army, air force and NDRF are working there without any self gain or purpose. They are working with complete honesty and saving the citizens of J&K, they are not considering any caste, creed, religion etc. They are doing their “Dharma”. I seriously respect Indian Govt. and Defence forces for their constant support and immediate decisions.

The defence personnel have carried plane loads of medicine, food, clothes and other essential materials to different parts of Srinagar and other affected areas. They are still trying to rescue people from the rooftops and other flooded houses.

Army Chief General Dalbir Singh Suhag has made a statement that his men will not return to their barracks till the last person is rescued.

This is what I call “Respect”. Respect for Army attitude and dedication.

Now where are Kashmiri protestors and Hurriyat goons who use to pelt stones on these soldiers and always having a “Pro-Pakistan” point of view. They always betray our sentiments by favouring Pakistan over us. They talk to Pak delegation, and pass an ordinance against India in their assembly. They eat ours and have loyalty towards Pakistanis. Now, seriously what’s wrong with them? Why they have such love and affection for Pakistan, and hate for us?

During this tragedy where are they? They call themselves as “Thekedaars” and “Owners” of J&K, where are they now? Why they not talking about this tragedy? Why they don’t help people of J&K now! Why they don’t realise its India and only India who is going to help them, not a terrorist maker country?

Where are Yasin Malik and Gillani, who use to slaughter many Indian citizens just to get some revenge? They use to decoy people of J&K against India. They want referendum in their state; I am seriously asking them where the hell you are? Why don’t you come out and support citizen of J&K?

Whatever is possible by central Govt. they are doing it. But state Govt. is making unnecessary comments, such as J&K CM says “Neither can I stop rain nor I can do it, its natural happening, if I could do anything I would do”. Seriously Mr. Abdullah what have you just said? Are you nuts? Yeah I agree it’s a natural happening but how can you make some comments which are going to hurt people’s sentiments. It’s height of nonsense and indecision.

It’s not a time to play politics, and politicians across the country should not make any statement which hurt the emotions of J&K. around 250 people are dead in this tragedy and many are missing. I hope they will get back to their normal life again. My sentiments are with the citizen of J&K, may the dead rest in peace. I was thinking to make this article, I am sorry if I have hurt someone’s emotions.

WHAT'S WRONG CAPTAIN COOL?

I respect him but today I am really not happy the way he treated his team and his fan’s hope in the England tour.  First of all India lost test series by 3-1 to England.  Being an Indian cricket team fan, I was highly disappointed the way he and his team performed. Okay! Being a team India fan I can agree we have no such conditions here in India, like England is a cold country etc. The ball swings a lot there but now with the help of technology we can create such conditions anywhere, in any cricket academy we have such facility. Whenever any foreign cricket team comes to India they practice really hard and adjust in our climatic conditions so well, so why can’t we? Every player in Indian cricket team earns a handsome and respectable income in one month. So it means there is no shortage of money or resources. Every player can afford anything whatever they desire then what’s wrong? It’s my question to every fan. The question is about their patriotism and integrity. Indian team completed 3^rd, 4^th, 5^th test match in 10 days combine. English team didn’t play for second innings in all three matches and that’s my point to tell you here, what’s wrong with us?

Indian team won ODI series by 3-1, the performance by Indian team was good, I don’t deny it but we have to remember that English team is not a good one day side. We may have won  the series but it also reveals another aspect about team India that we are “jack of all trades” when it comes to play shorter format but when we need to play original format or “pure whites” formats we are no good.

And yesterday India played a T20 game, India got a good start but in the last 5-7 over we lost our path. But the worse thing was our captain MSD, showed a great character of over-confidence in the last over of our inning. Yeah! Seriously he wasted 3 important balls which could change the dimension of the match that time but he didn’t give a single chance to other partner. Some BCCI funded commentators were appreciating him, but seriously what false image they were trying to create among us. I always respect Dhoni, he has worked really hard to achieve this level and stature but he should remember he is the captain of Indian cricket team and we have our hopes from him. Okay! Winning and losing is part of a game but losing by fight is greater than winning by fluke. And at least he should not make unnecessary statements and non-justifiable arguments in every press conference.

“WITH GREAT POWER COMES GREAT RESPONSIBILITY”

Keep in mind Mr. Captain. We expect a good performance from you and your team not a loser’s attitude and loser’s performance. 

TEACHER'S DAY

Today India is celebrating Teacher’s Day, it’s 5^th September. But why do we celebrate this day, I mean is it necessary or is it a liability? No, it’s a day when we honour our teachers who have sacrificed a lot in their life and provided us a foundation of knowledge, on which we make a building of future. It’s a day when we say “Thanks” to our teachers/gurus/guardians who have given us a ocean of knowledge.

Also on this day our first Vice-President and second president Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan was born, he was a brilliant teacher, mathematician and a noble person. He dedicated his entire life for the welfare of students and he devoted his life to improve the level of education of students.

His father did not want him to learn English or go to school. Instead he wanted him to become a priest. Later his father agreed to send him to a school in Tiruttani itself. He was a brilliant student and went through most of his education on scholarships. He was so popular among his students that when he was leaving to join as a professor in Calcutta he was taken all the way from the Mysore University to the Railway Station in a flower decked carriage pulled by his students!

He was a great person and our teachers too. The first teacher of any child is his/her mother, who sacrificed her life and her comforts just to care her child. A child learns so much from his/her mother, including speaking, walking, cultural values, sacraments etc. So it’s a day to honour our mothers too.

I seriously respected my teachers all my life. Yeah! There may be some exceptions but those exceptions are really rare. I have encountered many good teachers, some teachers nourishment me, some teachers punished me and some made an irremovable image in my mind. Every teacher gave me something which I will hold throughout my life, their dedication, knowledge and affection will always remind me of their presence.

Now today one another incident occurred, which was incredible and which never occurred before. Prime minister of our country, Mr. Narendra Modi addressed or interacted with students throughout the nation. It was one of the kind initiatives which no previous prime minister has done. Students from Leh, Imphal, Gujarat, Chhattisgarh etc. asked questions to our prime minister. Near about 1000 people were present in the Manekshaw Auditorium. As per their views they were feeling like a friend was interacting with them. And as per a viewer it was very interesting thing to know for me that he was very extrovert and frank with all those children. He gave many advices to those students and remembered Dr. Radhakrishnan too. Well I can only say at the end those children should follow Modi ji’s advice and they should respect their elders and teacher to grow as a strong and responsible citizen. Well now I have to end my article here, hope you have enjoyed it reading!

100 DAYS OF NAMONIA

Today NDA government led by Narendra Modi, prime minister of our country completed its 100 days in India. It was 26-May-2014 when Modi ji sworn in as next prime minister of biggest Democracy. Many things are changed since then; these 100 days are not enough to judge the calibre and potential of Mr. Modi. Being the CM of Gujrat from 2002-2014, he has transformed Gujrat allot. Gujrat is the richest state in India, highest in getting investor and highest in revenue making. Many people were trying to create a rude image of Mr. Modi during election and before it. But as Victor Hugo said 

“All the forces in the world are not so powerful as an idea whose time has come”, 

which is correct only God can change someone’s fortune not by handful of people who can’t see someone’s success.

Modi’s best action was on creating a SIT for black money, Supreme Court of India ordered GOI in 2010 for this but UPA didn’t performed it. And due to this effort Supreme Court gave an appraisal for NDA, because new govt. is dedicated to take back black money from foreign banks.

A good budget by Finance Minister Mr. Arun Jaitley was a healthy sign that new govt. is focussed on nation’s development. Many good projects such as 100 smart cities, cleaning Ganga, new IIM-IIT etc. were cherry on the cake. Plus encouraging investors in investing in market and increasing tax slab up to 50,000 more was also a great move, which is my favourite too.

Ending the collegium system in judiciary appointment was another good move, abolishing many old laws which were hindrances in many departments. But still many things have to be done, but this govt. is focusing on development and development, nothing else. Digital India, Jan-Dhan yojana, skilled India, Namami Ganga yojana will be a great game changer.

Government is trying really hard to change the condition of our country, and we can see that effort or indication as GDP in first quarter is 5.7%. It can be increased in next quarter and I believe it will be above 6%.

 But still many leaders and paid media channels are showing that this govt. is failed and nothing good has been done by them. I mean seriously, do you think that all Indian citizens are fool. Majority of people are happy with this govt. but still many people are finding errors at microscopic level. If someone is doing something without any personal benefit, we should respect that. May God help them to overcome their doubts and I wish their view related to Mr. Modi will change soon. I hope what Mr. Modi is seeing for India they could help him with his vision.

 I hope they start believing in 

“Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas”,

 and leaving their politics aside. What this new govt. got from previous one is not a thing to discuss now and neither I am going to discuss. But I hope all the faults and mistakes done by UPA could overcome by Modi ji- I wish him good luck and I wish him success in his vision.
