The only day of life when a mother laughs and the child cries The remaining days, its other way round, in-spite what anyone tries A special day in the life of every person when the world laughs with you without any tension A day when the people close, arrange a 'surprise' party A cake, few gifts and includes all people who are that worthy Such a party is special for it is not in the plans of the person even faintly the 'surprise' increases the face value of the person with a smile instantly The people who put in efforts to make all such arrangement on birthday exhibits the respect and love for the person, least to say Blessed is such a person, who has such loving people around For no amount can purchase pure emotions of love, faith, trust and bond These verses on birthday are reflections of  my experiences I was showered with By students and friends on 25/3/2013 which also cleared many of my myth

The modern style of large people of society is to cheat For only those proved to be wrong are considered culprit In a democracy, every one has a right to defend himself People of upper hierarchy, have others to shout on their behalf So in a country like India, being poor is a curse Being Rich can save you from all kinds of bruise Simple living, High thinking was the rule of the past High living standards with average thinking has won hearts aghast Corrupt persons are allowed to contest and win elections easily For the heinous crimes is not yet proved, a reason provided, obviously silly Our democracy is a model for others to follow Some aspects of our own system are difficult to swallow The administrative system of the country must run on independent wheel For Transfers and post retirement benefits make many honest people kneel The Police and Judiciary must go hand in hand without becoming fragile The culprit caught must be sentenced instantly giving a few fai

A person who leads a nomadic life prefers to live in solace without child and wife A person who has no permanent place to live who cares the least for self, is always ready to give The guy is happy without any luxury Who prefers to walk while travel without any hurry He carries his world along which is minimal includes all things required for survival He can adjust himself to the extreme conditions mourns less, understands more, accepts situations He is a King in many regards, eats what he has in his dish lives where he feels comfortable, dictates terms of life as per his wish He may be happy for the outside world, ready for any get together His insight within may reveal a different story altogether The experiences he shares, one might feel he is a great story teller Dear friends, never miss an opportunity to meet the WANDERER ever!!!

The concept of Reading Room is unique. It is very closely related to a Library, still it is different. A Library is a place which displays collection of all varieties of books and allows its members (both life members and temporary members) to use it at a nominal fee. But, the important aspect to be noticed here is that all members who visit a library must have an inclination towards reading. Unfortunately, this fever of reading is dying slowly in this modern era. To invoke this reading habit, the library must have a Reading Room within its premises to add to the flavor. A Library can be established in an area of 100 sq. ft with shelves for books and a place for one person to sit and manage the same. (I am not referring about the libraries in metropolitan cities but of rural areas). As a matter of fact, my personal observation led me to a conclusion that many registered libraries are being  inaugurated to obtain government grants. They are running with a handful of members in

A circle is an unusual diagram when observed closely one cannot find the start or end after it is drawn fully It is the diagram which reflects the reality like bare hands is common to birth and death alike All that was existing in yesteryear's may be out of fashion today The same, however, becomes a trend  tomorrow, as one would say Many activist are working hard to make common people realize conserve nature else the next-gen will make a huge sacrifice The man progressed to enjoy all luxuries of today endlessly just because the nature supported him all around selflessly Air, Water, Soil, Trees, Mountains, Energy or every minor component Helped mankind sail through rough sea without major adjustment Today Man may has discovered many artificial ways to lead life better But all ideas learnt by observing nature, a fact true and bitter Even the cost factor is an interesting aspect of study All artificial things costs a bomb which nature provides freely Human l

Ms. Suzy, knocked the officedoor of MD of Anand 'O' Anand Ltd just when he was having his lunch. (Mr. Anand was health consious and followed a  strict diet regime. He followed a healthy schedule everyday. Starting his day with a morning walk followed by regular exercise, having healthy breakfast and proper intake of juices with good food throughout the day. Generally, no one dared to enter the cabin during lunch break and interrupt Mr.Anand.) He was a foodie, everyone knew. When Suzy slightly opened the door, she was surprised the food was on the table and there were drops of tear in the eyes of Mr.Anand.... When Suzy asked the reason, he narrated........... When I was a very small... somewhere in I/II standard, I remember I had a high degree of possessiveness for my dabba. Whatever was mine, I never liked to share with anyone. We used to love the biscuits,  pastries and chocolates send in by parents (in fact we were taught to be selfish for our dabba). When we grew

I am sure the above three photos must have brought back your childhood memories back in a flash.  The story continues........ After collecting the caps, the cap seller moved and as one says narrated his story (read experience) to his son, that very night and everyone in the family had a hearty laugh. Now, after few days the son took on the responsibility of handling the business. He was passing through a similar jungle and as warned by his father, he decided not to rest in between. So, at the outskirts of the jungle, he sat beneath a tree, had his lunch and decided to have a nap. Just when his eyes regained consciousness  he could not believe what his eyes were seeing. The same story being repeated. All the monkeys had taken his entire booty and were merrily enjoying. Now, the son was not  worried for he knew the trick to get back his entire lot. He immediately threw the only cap on his head and was anxiously waiting for the response from

Its me... a Rain drop....   The time our journey started from within the cloud We were destined to travel in a crowd Every other droplet was a friend, no one a foe Had this simple thought, where are we supposed to go Travelling from such a height made us scare But everyone of us was enjoying the travel in the air One spoke, I should fall in a farming land Help the farmer to enrich his share of sand Other said, I would be happy to nurture a tree which helps the human race to survive without a fee Next came the voice, I would be happy to serve anywhere we may not get all that we wish for here or there This was very true, as majority of us would be of no usuage Drained down along with mud deep into the sea or even a drainage The lucky few among us would land safe without any hurl the luckiest one who falls in a shell and  become a pearl We all are the same in all aspect Our value depends on the company we get

We friends, who were bitten by the social service bug, decided to visit an old age home this sunday. Being the first time for me, all different thoughts surrounded my head and naturally made me restless yesterday. Could not sleep properly due to anxiety. (as happens for all first-timers!!!) Naturally, I was the first to reach the meeting point too in the morning. Once we reached 'Maitri Old Age Home', the first hour passed away like a minute with the trustees of the old age calling upon all the house-mates for breakfast. We voluntarily served the breakfast to all and even cleaned up the vessels as a good gesture. Next everyone there assembled in the ground as they all knew they had visitors. The Old age Home provided shelter to around 70 people. We had practiced few songs, dances and one of us had even practiced mimicry of few Bollywood artists. Though none of us were perfect, our imperfection made them go head over heels. We were all happy to see them laugh their hearts o

A teacher is one blessed soul who goes through all emotions in one academic year. Throughout the year, he always enjoys the tag of being 'Hitler' (one needs to be strict enough for the students to pay attention in the classroom). So Being Angry Young man is shadow of the personality of a teacher. Some days of the year, he shows the brighter side of his life, wherein he laughs or passes on jokes in the classroom, cheers up the entire students while teaching which makes the lecture more entertaining. During examination days, he plays the role of a motivator to the core. As the connectivity with students increases, the more examples are in stock in the minds of a teacher, which when shared at right moment, helps students to overcome the tide of anxiety especially those related to appearing exams. In the modern world, with more and more youngsters taking up the challenge of being a teacher, their role in a student's life has grossly increased  as students can easily put

Today morning it so happened that I went to attend d marriage of a distant cousin accompanied by daughter and parents. Specially mentioning marriage because a young mind tends to get bored while watching all the customs except if it is your friends marriage where you are sort of king in control of many aspects of marriage. Here parents introduce you to oldies (read relatives) with all adjectives in the world for you and you have to keep a smiling face throughout. Thank god, I was already bundled into nupital knots else the proposition would have altogether different, with each person looking like a hawk searching for next easy prey. As I said earlier, my inner self took control over me soon and I asked permission to leave early from the scene. Coming out of the marriage hall, I quickly caught the first rickshaw I got and told him to take me to the nearest railway station. While being in the rick I went down the memory lane..... When we are young our attitude towards life is total

Valentine's day, Valentine's day, Valentine's day You are so unique because you make everyone pray Your craze starts right from school days in the modern world No surprise that old aged and youngsters are involved in your fold St.Valentine never knew his message of love would be so popular that fundamentalist will have to protest against this day by creating panic and fear But love, as it is very simple, honest and clear finds a way in the hearts of youngsters in remembering their dear Definitely, youngsters should always know that love is such a pure emotion on the d-day, true lover even lacks words to express his love, being in full tension The problem today is many have taken things for granted among some of the youth The 'moral police' being agitated try to discipline everyone in east, west, north or south A simple solution is enjoy the day with the beloved ones as much as you can As a matter of fact no one can cause any damage to love or cre

Every person living in this world needs 'power'. The 'Power' to survive, the 'Power' to struggle, the power to overcome sorrows, the power to get up after a fall. As everyone agrees, the mental power is bigger than physical power. The yogi's  had this divine knowledge and they overcame almost all their obstacles by themselves. Even those who have power needs to be reminded of their inner powers at appropriate time for them to take full advantage of such inner strength (Yups.. you guessed it right... The Powerful Hanuman) Everyone of us is a stuffed with lot of power unknown to us. We make use of it too, again unknowingly, when appropriate time comes. Even the laziest creature on earth, whose biggest passion is sleeping, raises to the occasion much before time the day he has to go on a picnic. If the scheduled time to start is 5.00 am on a chilly morning, rest assured 99% members of the group are guaranteed to assemble much before time. (We should

Mr. Ravi a daily laborer, used to travel to his workplace by walk. Thinking about all the adversities of life he faced in daily life, he stopped at a railway crossing. A railway crossing, a signal are places on roads wherein every person, rich or poor, has to stop. No amount of any kind of influence can help you get over the other side easily. Such stops are important more so because everyone can continue his process of thinking which he generally does while travelling by road. Gazing each other is one of the best ways to get over time. Like others, Mr. Ravi too was involved gazing people around him. Just then, a person arrived on bicycle near him. The next thought obviously that came to his mind was 'How lucky this chap is to have a bicycle?'. I will put in all efforts and earn some extra bucks to purchase a new bicycle at the earliest. No sooner, the bicycle rider stopped, he gazed around to find a person on a two-wheeler. Not being an exception, he too thought, 'T

The advantages of being flexible are always more than expected A flexible person as compared to a stubborn is more accepted Being Flexible means always ready to adjust as per situation Here, personal  wishes and choices takes a back seat without litigation A flexible person adds to option of a captain of any team For he can perform any task and make the captain beam A Flexible person adds to the overall value of self and  his teammate It motivates others to follow him, thereby brighten the team's fate However, Being Flexible is not an  everybody's forte or an easy task For it demands regular sacrifices and to hide true emotions behind mask Further, all the sacrifices of a flexible person may go in vain if the efforts put in by him are doubted as if he is to make a personal gain Naturally being flexible is bound to bring a bad name in the beginning As others feel it is pampering the bosses, for the sake of their praising Others envy the presence of such a f

           All the readers of my blog, an unique experience that I had in the past one week is worth a mention and hence this note today. One of the newest school in Kalyan (East) currently in peak form announced distribution of forms for Nursery on 28th January, 2013 from 8 am to 10am.            Now, what impact does it have on the minds of the concerned student... Nothing :-).. Honestly. He is hardly concerned where his parents are going to send him to build his career, to build the career of another nation builder.... Whooo!!!!... but the apathy of their parents is worth mentioning. Some poor people (not in money terms),  cannot curtail their anxiety, nor can control the anxiousness (this is a serious problem), assembled near the school gate right from 26th January, 2013 evening.... You may be thinking what a great deal. They have to actually spend the next 36 hours at the same place including two nights and one day. Its not a picnic package by any means.. though 26th January was

The work that brings peace to heart The work that brings rest to mind The work that brings a smile on the face No matter how much laborious  No matter how much time consuming No matter how much pain staking The work while being done makes one forget the moon and sun The work on completion Brings about complete satisfaction Irrespective what the world says Still your mind appreciates May be a routine for an outsider Still you hear your heart beats clearer Is your creativity; Is your vision Is surely a matter of your pride, satisfaction There are many views for being satisfied One school says 'Never Be Satisfied', With what you have achieved As it is a point of your being held back from progress Whereas others say, 'Be satisfied with what you have achieved As you need to be contended at some stage of life without stress' Forget what the world says about your decision It is going to bring you cheer and satisfaction

A man has to prove his mettle in life, which moves very fast Not only being a child but till the day he breathes his last Being a toddler, parents expect them to perform in front of all including reciting poems, alphabets, numbers right up to juggling with ball When a child moves into a school, the real test is to start The child has to satisfy his peers, teachers and his parents apart No time to enjoy leisure is the story common, of every home No time to nurture their hobbies, No time to play a game Not playing a game is again dangerous for child in many ways as a child never learns to accept 'loss' on those few unlucky days This acceptance of loss makes him strong at heart and the child gets ready to face challenges in life, being smart Some parents put the burden of Expectation to impress others Without understanding that freedom for a child can work wonders Some parent jump to the defense at every problem of the child, even mild Encouraging at times b

Every person has a special time for special people, old and new For the opportunities provided in life are less and at times, few To celebrate success of Heramb, Udaan is an occassion Felicitating meritorious students and also having final year valedictory function Its a way of inspiring students, to achieve better every one present in the first year thinks of improving his marks meter Final year students enjoy by participating in various cultural activity Dancing, singing is common, participating in ramp walk being a priority Even the volunteers who help in arrangement of the program enjoy Everyone works selflessly as a team irrespective of being a girl or a boy Udaan can have different meaning for different mind The official version being 'Unlimited Dreams and Ambitions Nurtured'

Going to sabarimala is a blessed pilgrimage having people of different caste and various age Going alone through dense jungle is not suggested Hence, Joining groups for journey is better opted But, being a part of a group, is more testing people with different mindsets make the journey interesting Some people stubborn to their demands to be met, shout bluntly Being Flexible in a group makes the survival and rapport instantly Everyone may be a king at their individual level For the betterment of group and self, one has to manage his personal ego well All the problem arises because many forget the aim of pilgrimage its not expecting luxuries but facing challenges with courage One tends to forget he has come to get blissful darshan of Lord, without ego who comes as 'Jyothi' year after year as promised decades ago Swamiye Saranam Ayyappa
