One day a big storm came into the village and all the fields full of crops got damaged in the heavy rains. There were nothing left in a village to eat.
When the storm stopped, The man decided to go out in search of food. He found nothing and returned home empty handed. His wife asked him to pray before God . He replied "We both pray and see whose pray will be accepted". Both prayed together. The man wished for a basket of fruits. Next moment he saw a basket floating in the river behind his house. He felt overjoyed. He again wished for a good dress. The magic happened . He was wearing a new dress just in few minutes. He then wished for a horse. He got the white horse. He then wished for a palace. There he recieved a magic call from God. God said " Go to your palace in the far east town of Etiole. He was overjoyed and immediately jumped onto the horse just leaving behind his sweet wife. God again said " You are forgetting your wife. Why you are not taking her with you to the palace". He said " You blessed me with the wishes. She has not got any of her wish true". The god replied" My dear son , All your wishes got fulfilled just because she had her wish in it". He said " How come God? I did not understand ". God replied" She prayed to fulfill all wishes of her husband. I fulfilled her one wish and fulfilled your all wishes."

Fight

Fight among the senses


All senses fight with one another,
Eye say I am great,
I show the world .
Ear say I am great,
I help to respond the world.
Tongue say I am great,
I help to taste the world.
Nose say I am great,
I help to smell the world.
Skin say I am great,
I help to feel the world.
They all go to brain.
To ask him who is great.
Brain is very clever.
He says few lines
Ear hear the good and eyes turn on.
Eye see the good and skin puts it on.
Skin feels the good and nose takes a long ride.
Nose smells the good and tongue opens wide.
Tongue taste the good and eyes blinks fast,
All forget the fight and return at last.
Five are the babies of Heart and Brain,
All feel the sorrow if any one is in pain.

Saanjh

सांझ

सांझ एक ऐसी देखी थी,

बुझी हुई हार देखी थी।

हारो तो भी मन में ,

एक अहसास होता है।

जीते नहीं तो क्या हुआ,

कुछ तो किया हमने,

इसका अभिमान होता है।

पर इस हार में तो अभिमान

चूर हो गया,

स्वाभिमान भी चकनाचूर हो गया।

जिसने जुल्म किया मुझ अबला पर,

उसका तिरस्कार किया,

छोड़ आई तिल तिल कर मरना,

दहेज़ लोभी का बहिष्कार किया।

पर यह क्या जिन्होंने पैदा किया,

उन्होंने कहा कि तुमने हमें
शर्मसार किया।

सांझ एक ऐसी देखी थी,

बुझी हुई हार देखी थी.

This Valentine day

 

 

 

Everybody has their own version. I do not say it is bad or Good. For me it is not only a day of Love but also to recap my relationship. As all days in the year are love days. But this day to be Extra Extra Lovey day. For me chocolate melts more in my mouth this day. The heart shaped balloon rises high in the sky, The heart shaped pizza drizzles with more cheese . The spirit is all romantic. I just kick away all the work worries this day and think only about my valentine ( My Husband).




Just writing few lines for my Valentine:-

Hold my hands and let us walk,
Whisper in my ears I wanna Talk.
Hold my hand as without you I cannot Stand,
I cannot finish my Journey in this land.

Hold my hand my Dear,
I wanna dance with no fear.
Hold my hand and don't go away,
As I wanna to keep you for another day.

Hold my hand my Dear Vani,
My lifes nectar is you my Honey.
So hold me close and kiss me slow,
I'll Love you forever,
Is all you need to know.

Yours Mona

Good bye 2009

Hey 2009 is just going and 2010 is landing in our lives within few hours. Iwant to thank all the people in my life whose concern have touched my life. As 12 months old is going after giving birth to new one. This is not only year but a bundle of moments we lived in. Living each day of month and each month of this year, I loved 2009. This year is also mixture of good and bad things. Just like a dish which has all tastes , Sweet, sour and salty.

We should thank God actually that he is granting another year in our favour and this day on 31 st December 2009, we are having celebrations and planning New year Eve dinner with the entire family.

Hoping 2010 be the best year for all . Full of health which will make wealth itself......

BYE BYE my dear 2009 . Now I will meet you in my memory lane soon.

Simple celebrations for 2010

New year is the time which is celebrated everywhere. You will see rocking environment all around. Markets, Malls , Media , newspapers and big hotels are full with New year celebrations spirit. This is the time in which profit makers are grabbing to make huge profits and luring the public and the public is also ready to empty the pockets.

I know small things change the whole life. Small events sometimes brings great happiness.

You dont need big events or big celebrations. Some times a small balloon in the air put a cute smile on the child's face and that gives great happiness to the parents. A nice dinner in the family together is far far great than big dinner at the hotels separately.

I feel that when you spend lot of money in the big events or celebrations and at the end you try to

rush your home with a feeling that now you are tired and need a sound sleep or rest. That place your home is then seems to be the most warm place.

 

2009 is going and 2010 is knocking at the door. It is good to welcome new year . We do not know what is happening in 2010. But we know what has happened in 2009. To feel good for good things happened in 2009 and learn from bad things happened in 2009, let us welcome 2010 in simpler way.

 

Some simple ways in my opinion are:-

 

1. Be happy

 

2. Bring smile to at least one needy child in last few days of the going 2009.

 

3. Its good to know the rights but at the same time remember the duties also.

 

4. Be honest to yourself and follow your heart.

 

5. Dont waste your time in meaningless events which are only organised for making profits .

 

6. Arrange nice home made dinner in your home for the whole family.

 

A celebration with parents, spouse and children is the best celebration in the world.

 

I hate those people who celebrate with their spouse ,children and friends outside and keep their old parents at home alone.

 

Celebrate as ONE family and see what 2010 has for you in its lap.......

 

 

 

Real Santa

Why not Santa should be real?

The only imagination of Santa makes everyone happy.

Then the idea of getting the gifts makes older younger. The whole spirit of Christmas is awesome.

Christmas in the heart creates Christmas in the air.

We always love magic and the magic is created by Santa in the Christmas. Children feel that Santa will come in the night and next day all our grief ends. All the wishes comes true.

Why not any good person be Santa for one day and put smile on any Child in pain?

I want that the belief "Santa is real" should not fade.

Let us make Santa Real and give some gifts to needy children near us.

 

 

Chalte Firte

Chalte Firte

 

Plenty of woolen stuffs now loaded in all city outlets. People rush to the stores for shopping. I also went to one store for woollen shawl. I was looking the display. A very fat rich lady entered the store. She was trying to catch the eyes of all the people. Then asked one salesman to show ladies cardigan. The boy started displaying each n every item. After some time she shouted ," This is the time in which we enjoy wearing too many stuffs, but you people don't have the nice collection". She then asked the boy to show winter ladies dress. Again the same attitude. After taking too much of time and trying too many dresses, she again shouted ," I want the latest stuff. Oh! My sis is US is very lucky. She has an opportunity to wear new and fresh stuff".

At Last She selected one dress and exclaimed " This is what I want". She paid the price n went. I amazed when two salesmen laughed and murmured " She has chosen the defected piece for Rs 1500".

This was really funny. I also felt that some people in our country only do shopping for the sake of shopping. They want to show their friends that they are regular visitor to the best outlets in the city. They really don't need the stuff. If they really want to collect the latest stuff every season, I request them to please give one last season's stuff to those kids in slums who wear rags in winter.

THINK O THAT

मेरी छत पर

मेरी छत पर

खुशियाँ लेकर आया यह करवाचौथ का चाँद,
जनम जनम के इस गठबंधन को बाँध।
तुम से ही मेरा है जीवन बंधा हुआ,
हर साँस को तुमने है संजोया हुआ।
अपने प्रेम की माला में सनम,
हमको है तुमने डुबोया हुआ।
यह चाँद हर साल छत पर आता रहे,
छलनी से आपना चेहरा दिखाता रहे।
धरती पर मेरी इन साँसों को ,
तुम्हारी खुशबु से महकाता रहे।

Poor woman

Domestic voilence - A simple tag. This tag can easily be put on any victim's face. Oh ! She is the victim of domestic voilence. But to know the exact story and the sufferings behind this tag is really very hard. Women - educated or uneducated , one way or the other way is facing such thing in our society? This question is really very serious. Our intellectual people say in the meetings, public gathering and stages " Why she is not telling the story to the sensitive World?" " Why she is mum over the issue?" " There are so many laws to protect a women. So many helplines, so many NGO's etc etc".
But the same intellectual people and sensitive people say in their personal life after hearing XXX story of XXX woman " She must be of loose character. That is why her husband or in - laws are beating up? Oh ! She is working in the office, then definately she is coming late to her house etc etc".

Definately there are so many laws , so many help lines but are these laws really helpful? Making these laws is easy but the implementation is difficult. If any woman is suffering, the next doors people know everything but no body come forward. Parents never support their daughter as they feel ashamed of the society.

If one way or other, a case is registered, a woman is 1000 times mentally harrased by the so called protection agencies than she is being harrased by her in laws.

The alive victim of the domestic voilence is getting mental torture by both her in-laws and out-laws( follow up people after case registration).

In our society, a woman killed by her in-laws gets the immediate help and the culprits gets punishment . An alive woman waits for the action for years and years

Sleep , sleep sleep my little angel!
Your dream prince will come..
and take you to the Palace
with all your charming face,
Sleep , sleep sleep my little angel!

Dusshera Celebrations at Remote Village (Billawar, J&K)

Thus Dussehra is not only a celebration of the victory of good over evil. It is also an occasion to pay homage of Rama.

The celebrations at Billawar(J&K). The pictures taken by me on 28-09-2009.

Vijayadashami is the day of the Saraswati or the deity of knowledge and learning. Children begin their school education, their art lessons or their career planning on this day and seek their elders blessings. For Hindus Dussera is one of the four most auspicious days of the yea

PEACE

</


For how many times he will hurt,
I am still there to be hurt.
Oh God! why not you have mercy on me?
He is the man who play with me.
I again build faith in him when he shatters
all my dreams,
I again believe now he is with me with
all new beams.
Oh God, now make my heart hard,
Take away the sensitivity,
And give me peace in your vicinity.

sensibility

As we know now a days sense and sensibilty exists nowhere. People are more aggressive, voilent and without feelings. But think if sense and sensibilty really exists then the world would be the best place to live. Our children thinks that Santa Claus would come and put their favourite gift by the bed side in the night. In the morning they actually get the same gift given by their parents secretly if they behave good.

What better way to instill the idea of generosity and selfless giving than by the example of a stranger from the distant North coming in the night and leaving gifts for children who have been good while asking for nothing of material value in return?

A child's imagination is a magical thing. It allows them to ride a unicorn,cling to a rainbow, dream incredible dreams, so why not Santa Claus

Imagination is the key to staying sane in this world. And a little creative fiction filled with positive messages for children is always a good thing. Let Santa live!

The myth provides just as much pleasure for the adults pretending to be Santa as it does for the children who still believe

The only idea behind this act is that we want our children to live in the world of Fairies because it teach goodness of human beings and sensibility.

The imaginary wolrd of Fantasy , Fairies and santa claus teaches children some moral values which becomes a foundation for becoming a good Man. Some ways to become sensible:-

1. Helping anybody in trouble.


2. Respecting others profession.


3. Do not hurt anybody mistakenly.


4 Never forget those who serve you.


5. Give respect to old people.


6. Never forget to give surprise gifts to your dear ones.

7. Always end or sum up any meeting in good note.

8. Try to understand the unspoken words of your dear ones.

9. Protect the sensitivity of any relation.


We are very voilent and aggressive. Let us now try to be sensible.

Dansal Baba Near Katra ( Vaishno Devi) J&K

I visited this place on 13-09-2009. This is very nice place and full of nature's gift. Human hands are still far from this site.

I remember RabinderNath Tagore Poems Human Aggression on Nature.

In poem, “I plucked you Flower” (The Gardener, Poem No. LVII), human aggression gets expressed through the plucking of a flower

I plucked your flower, O world!
I pressed it to my heart and the thorn pricked.
When the day waned and it darkened, I found that
the flower had faded, but the pain remained. (1-4)

Humans have the habit of destroying something to create something for them. They destroy a beautiful rock to create a sculpture of their liking. They cut a gorgeous tree to make a musical instrument for their use. Many trees are uprooted This is how human beings behave. This attitude is caused by their anthropocentric behaviour. It is totally unnecessary for humans to enter into the creating act. The modern inventions in gene technology will boomerang on them one day. Dollys of today will teach the humans a lesson later. If they do something in a biocentric way, then that will exist for ever. All anthropocentric attempts will end only in disaster. Tagore beautifully says, “Ah! it is not for you to open the bud into a blossom” . He repeats this line to give double emphasis. Humans should understand the roles assigned to them at a macrocosmic level. Any human aggression will end in a disaster for the whole biosphere.

पूजा का दीया

मेरी क्या खता की मैंने तुमको चाहा

इतना की जैसे रब को चाहा ।

पल भर भी न देखा मेरी ओर कभी ,

मेरे आने पर ही तुमने करवट बदली तभी।

देखो इधर भी , अब कहीं आस न टूट जाए,

पूजा का दीया मेरे हाथ से छुट न जाए ।

Childhood memories of DoorDarshan

Doordarshan is very close to ours heart. My childhood memories are connected with Doordarshan. Now our children are getting entertainment just clicking channels and staying 1 or 2 secs per channel. So many commercials and so many channels. Same Saas bahu serials, and again painted ladies without any talent or emotionless characters. We can even imagine a serial with the replaced actor as leading role. Can we imagine Ramayan without Arun Govil or Deepika. Mahabharat without Darasingh, Humlog without dadamuni and Buniyaad without Badki, chutki etc. Let us get back to late 80s and early 90s- the era of Doordarshan

The one and only daily entertainment dose of every Indian. Most of the serials were of 13 episodes and so people were associated with character for 2-3 months and it made more concentrated and sensible serials. Just like worth watching –
Ramayan and Mahabharat

How can we mention doordarshan without Ramayan and Mahabharat? Literally there was Curfew like situation on Sunday mornings when these two epics were telecasted. These serials made life of Arun Govil (Ram), Mukesh Khanna (Bhisma), Punit issar (duryodhan), Rupa Ganguli (Draupadi) , Dipilka(Sita) etc.. Though technically poor, these two serials created mass histeria for TV selling. People used to do pooja of TV before starting of these serials. Harish Bhimanis voice as main samay hoon made great impact in Mahabharat. I liked Dara singh as Hanuman very much. –

Malgudi Days-

Based on R K Narayans book, made by Shankar Naag , this serial is the best of all time serials I have ever seen. and the title theme taana na taana na na I can remember it today also with R K Laxmans sketches. –

Udaan-

based on Kiran Bedis life, Kavita chaudhary was lead actress and serial was quite popular. Story of a girls journey to become an IPS officer. –

Daane Anaar Ke one middle class family wins lottery and how behaviour of family and people related with them changes a nice story. I can recall only Neena gupta. Perhaps Gulzar wrote the title song kissa hai kahaani hai paheli hai

Mirza Ghalib-

Jab Gulzar, Jagjit singh and Naseeruddn shah saath me ho to poochna hi kya?. I was too immature to understand this serial. So not much memory associated with this serial. –
-
- Humlog, Buniyaad
-
-
-
- A very emotional serial. My grandma was fan of these serials. As humlog is true picture of Indian Middle class household and Buniyad is partition portrayal ,I still remember Dada Monis speech at the end of every episode. –

Nukkad-
Dilip Dhawan, khopdi, and other popular actors born with this serial. Directed by Aziz mirza this serial was quite populat at that time. –

Cartoons-

Ducktales, Telespin after Chanakya at 10:30 these two cartoons were telecasted. I can recall Uncle screwz only. - Junglebook -I can recall some characters Mowglee, Bagira, Sherkhan. Sherekhans voice was given by Nana Patekar and music was given by todays genius director Vishal Bhardwaj and lyrics was by Gulzaar saab. Remember that amar song jungle jungle baat chali hai pataa chala hai, chaddi pehen ke phool khila hai.. Akira Kurosawas name was also there in titles. Dont for what purpose. - Stoneboy- Master Ankur was as stone boy and was living on hills and a group of students goes for picnic and then bring stone boy with them –
-
-Sigma- a sci-fi serial based on space and space shuttles. - -
-
Vikram Vetaal
- again technically poor serial by Ramanad Sagar before Ramayan. But I liked lot as a child. Arun Govil played role of king Vikram - -
-
Talaash- This serial was based on the search of some person. Cant remember much. But main actor was Alok Naath and directed by great Hrishikesh Mukerjee. –

Rangoli-
It makes my sunday mornings musical and countless Sunday mornings started with Rangoli. no song was repeated. –

Tenaliraman-
Birbal of south India – played by Vijay Kashyap, had pure entertainment. –

Phir wohi talaash-
directed by Lekh tendon. I can recall only Madan Jain (one of the character in Ankush) and Nilima Azim (Shahid kapurs mother). The story was a small town boy comes to metro and falls in love with a rich and sophisticated girl. Virendra Saxena played father of Madan Jain. –


Muzrim Haajir-
Nutan was lead actress and Virendra singh and Navani parihaar was introduced in this serial. serial had Bengali background and I can remember goon goona, goon goona, goon goona re goon goona - Nupur- directed by Hema malini and lead actor was Sudesh Berry and had background of classical dance and music. –

Circus- when shahrukh khan was top star of TV he did this serial with Renuka Shahane. I think it was directed by Aziz Mirza. Also had lots of actors of Nukkad. - Chitrahaar- evey Wednesday and Friday at 80 clock with dinner. –

Karamchand- Pankaj kapoor as karamchand (with carrot) and Sushmita mukerjee as kitty. directed by Pankaj Parashur. –

Jugalbandhi- after the success of karamchand this serial was started. One of the detective was Radha Sheth and other male detective cant remember. –

Fauji- First serial of SRK which made him quite popular on TV.

Surbhi
It is information based programme. Renuka Sahane was introduced in surbhi. Sidhdharth Kak and Renuka both were host in this programme. Renukas hair cut and colgate smile were quite popular. This programme created question and answer contest first time on TV.

Guniram- story of a villager who comes to city and makes mistakes every day. Rakesh bedi played role of Guniram. –

Mr. Yogi- an NRI comes to India in search of his bride. His meeting with different girls with different backgrounds and then comedy emerges. Mohan Gokhle was Mr. Yogi and director was Ketan Mehta. I cant forget the last episode where ice-cream was throwing in the party. –

Mungerilal ke haseen sapne- talented Raghuvir Yaadav as Mungherilal used to see dreams of a person whichever attracts him. Perhaps director was Prakash Jha.

Kakkaji kaheen- Om puri was kakkaji. A comedy serial and kakkaji was used to laugh at the end of every sentence. –

Bharat ek khoj-based on Pt. Jawaharlal Nehrus book Discovery of India, directed by Shyam Benegal.]

Its nice to go back to the time of classics I must say as today television is full of all the nonsense saas bahu soaps.. courtsey Ekta Kapoor.

रुका सफर

दिन चल रहे हैं,
महीने भी बदल रहे हैं।
साल पर साल चढ़ रहे हैं,
कद सभी के बढ़ रहे हैं।
पर मेरा जीवन क्यों रुका है,
क्यों उसमे एक पल झुका है?
जिस पल तुमने कहा था,
ठहरो मैं अभी आता हूँ।

कहने को

कहने को बहुत है पर कैसे कहें,
दिल की बात जुबान पर कैसे रखें।
न जाने तुम्हारे मन में क्या है?
चेहरे का हर भाव कैसे पढें।
कहीं कह दिया और तुम चल दिए,
यही बात से हर वक्त हम डरें ।

Good mother

To have good sons or daughters in our society, we must have good mothers. A good mother doesnot mean only giving birth to a child and bringing him up so that he take care of his parents in thier old age. A good mother means inputting of good habits, good qualities and a good sense so that a child becomes a good human being and serves a society.

A good doctor always saves life of a person when he needs him in emergency.

A good soldier sacrifies his life for his country. A good leader always keeps his personal interest aside and fights for good cause in the society. A good businessman leads his counrty ahead in world economy. A good engineer always works in dedication and builts nation's infrastructure for comfort of others.

Why mother should be so good ? It is because a child responds to his mother right in her womb. Child listens and follows his mother in every aspect. It is then a prime resposibility of a mother to teach good leasons to her child. A responsible mother produces a responsible society. A good society is group of good families who serve at thier best in the society. Always produce good examples in the society rather than breaking rules, norms and humanity barriers in the society.

खामोशी

खामोशी की भी कभी सुना करो,
इसमें भी एक बात होती है.
कभी गहराई को समझा करो,
इसमें भी आवाज़ होती है.
तुम तो चल देते हो यूं ही मुहँ मोड़ कर,
हर सुबह की इक सुहानी रात होती है.
जब चाँद आसमान पर आता है ,
हर दिल में कोई आस होती है.
कहना है आंखों से सब कुछ,
इसमें दिल की हाँ होती है .
