Marriage anniversary

“Sawan ki us ek shaam ko humne ki thi batey mithaas ki,

Aur Peepal ki chaon mey mun ki pyas bujhai thi.

Preet ke sajoy thay sapne jo, do mun ko pas laye thay,

Vishwas aur madhurta ke pankh khud hi humne lagaye thay,

 

In pankho per hi baith kar humne apni preet jagai hai.

Aaj phir Sawan ki shaam aayi hai,

Jeevan ke madhur chhano ko phir yad kar, hum khud hi ab sharma jate hain.

Lekin  Peepal ke komal patton ney humko lajate huwe phir kuchh yadi dilayi hai.

 

Kuchh khoya kuchh paya, phir bhi is rukhe sansar ka saath nibhaya ,

Apni komal bhavnaon ko hi humne prerna ka shrot banaya,

Aur khud ko hardam anurag aur preet mey sarabor paya.

 

Sukh dukh ka har chhan jo jiya hai saath saath, wahi hamari dharohar hai,

Aur Saath ho hamara saat janam taq, aisi kamna hai

 Isilye tow humne preet aur vishwas ka deep jalaya hai.

Asha aur umaang ka phir din aaya hai.

Priti Maithil ranks 92nd in Civil services

General elections in India has a special significance for every individual who believes in democratic form of government. This is the only time when the Political leaders try to connect with the common people and humbly fold their hands in front of the voters. This is also the time when we keep getting news about violence, leaders using abusive langauges, false promises, hate speeches, assurances of political parties to  develop the country like instant boilers heating water in our bathrooms. Amid all such frustrating happenings, there is small town in Madhya Pradesh which has a reason to celebrate not because of political issues but because 23 year old Priti Maithil, the daughter of a daily wage labourer in Sehore has ranked 92nd in the UPSC examinations. This is definitely a reason for the family and the town to cheer. This is called real transformation for the betterment. Maithli had the will and support of her family and she proved that nothing is beyond the reach of present day woman. Unfortunately all the Television channel prefer to play bollywood and Political masala news rather than transmitting this news up to so many unprivileged woman for whom Priti can be a role model. It can also give a message that we do not need political promises for our growth. It is our own hard work and willpower needed to transform ourselves for a better future. Maithil’s success has also proved that the woman from rural India which was so far been kept under social fetters is now ready to look beyond the village.Time has come for us to recognize and utilise the potential of our village folks.

Black money and Congress nervousness

As I watch Rahul Gandhi addressing a press conference in New Delhi this morning, I feel pity on Congress. Without being asked a question on black money issue, Rahul started speaking about black money. The BJP has finally got the issue which is hitting the Congress party badly and Congress leaders know this well. The issue is not whether future Indian Govt will be able to bring the money back home or not, it is the education being imparted to common man by BJP on this issue that is making the Congress nervous and sending shivers in the partyline. Congress’ nervousness is understandable because the large amount of the black money stashed in foreign bank belongs to Political leaders of parties (party?) who ruled India for majority of years after Independance. Before the advent of television screen, many of the deals between the government and other agencies have escaped from the radar of media. It is clear to everyone, young or old, that the maximum period of independent India has been ruled by Congress and hence by simple logic one can conclude that the money stashed in foreign banks has largely been deposited illegally by……. . Imagine a scenario that this black money is finally brought back to India, the government will then be forced to disclose the name of account holders and that will be disastrous for…..party. The common man has then right to lodge a criminal case against the account holders (mostly not alive) for depriving India of such a wealth for so many years. The amount of money estimated to be stashed can make 25 world class airports, can ensure education to every child, can make every individual avail best of medical facilities and also can provide safe drinking water to every citizen. So the anger is justified and has energy to wipe out even the biggest and most liked political party from the scene of Indian political spectrum. Nervousness among Congress leaders is graspable.

Celebration days ahead for BJP

The great Indian Tamasha of Political circus is now at its peak. Hate speeches, challenges, self praise are all what political parties have for their road shows and it appears that all political parties are confused and have not even tried to convince the voter to vote for them. It is really surprising that the ruling party intead of informing voter about its achievement during last five years, has resorted to adopt an approach to malign BJP image. When the election campaign started congress was rated much ahead of its rival BJP  but as we pass through the crucial phase, we find more and more gains for BJP. This is also reflected in the record low muslim voter turnout. Albeit Indian muslims may have beed misfed by Congress for 60 years, the muslim voter also understands that the congress has been doing so not because it wants Muslims to grow and prosper but because congress wants to rule the country at the cost of muslim votes. The equation is simple, Majprity of non muslim voters are divided between BJP and Congress equally and the party who secures Muslim votes forms the government. Congress has been relying on this equation for long but with the slowly developing trust for BJP among muslims, the equation has now changed. BJPs involvement of muslim leaders in its think tank group has also shown some results. Muslims also recognize the strength of Indian constitution and are sure that their future is as safe as any other religion in India and no party can play with the so strong constitution. The muslims of Gujarat have seen the riots but they have also seen the growth and prosperity because Gujarat government and largely the people of Gujarat have secular fabric and this is the reason why BJP has been performing excellent in post riots Gujarat elections. Other political parties may be trying to tell the Gujarati muslims that BJP is pro Hindutva party but the Gujarati Muslims know the reality and that is why there is no muslim anger against BJP in Gujarat.

States like MP, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Chhatisgarh have set a bench mark for growth and development and this has happened during the BJP rule and this is why speculations of BJP sweeping these states is true. The surprising results are expected to come from Uttar Pradesh because common man is observing that Mayawati is more interested in creating her own effigies rather than creating public utility infrastructure and facilities. The murder of PWD Engineer and the criminal record of majority of BSP candidates is also working negatively for BSP and its votes are shifting to Congress and BJP.  It is expected that almost two third of UP seats will be shared between the two national parties.

Nitish Kumar in Bihar has done a good job and people are appreciating this in the form of support to Nitish Kumar. The number of kidnappings that took place during RJD rule have come down drastically and the crime rate is continuously heading south in Bihar.

All the above factors are a reason for BJP to cheer as it is the main constituent of NDA. If BJP has campaigned for itself, Congress has campaigned, though indirectly, for BJP. Certainly celebration days are ahead for BJP. Credit goes to good governance promises by BJP and blame BJP culture of congress.
