Chaar Panktiyan

Presenting to you some lines. Did not use Devanagri script deliberately, as I guess English is considered more Indian than our national language Hindi . Tragic !!but it's true .We indian's accept everything which doesn't orginate in India , but descrimate whatever has been passed on from aeon by our great Civilization.

These four lines are part of poem tittled - Kyon ? Its question to all of us .
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hazaron Saal ki Ghulami, Fir bhi na kuch seekhe Itihas se , Kyon ?

Kabhi Bhasha, Kabhi Jaat, Kabhi Prant aur kuch bhi na mile to agdapan aur pichdapan par ek dusre se bhed bhao, Kyoon ?

"Baanto Aur Raj Karo " , Angrezoon ne jo beej boya, usko hum apnoon ke khun se seeche ja rahe hain, kyon ?

Ananant kaal se chale aa rahi sabhyata, par aaj usko apne Astitva ki Talash hai kyon ?

Is there hope beyond hope?

Very Recently a Indian POW got released from Pakistan Jail after 35 years in Jail and getting close to executed couple of times. While we may treat this as any other news , it will be worth remembering what this person must have gone through in last 35 years and what must be going on in his mind at the time of release ? will his family will recognise him, will he recognise his family , what if no one owns him ? What if no one from his family is even there. This may be some of the few questions. A very tragic but interesting case .

Salute to those POW and there families who are still in foreign Jails for aeon's but are still hoping everyday that some day they will be free and able to see there husband , kids, wife ,parents and all near and dear one.

On a different note, how easy will be for these released POW to adjust to new life ? . A similar scene was well captured in the movie on " Shwasank Redemption" where the old librarian got released from prison after 30+ year but he was so used to prison life that he couldn't adjust in outside world and committed suicide.

Hope someday some one makes a "Shwasank " equivalent for these Indian POW . There has been many try by Indian movie maker's but none has been as well researched and made like the original.

Singh is King

Seems like Sikh Guru Govind Singh's words has come true " One sikh is enough for all enemies " . Amazing display under pressure and provocation by Harbhjan singh, i don't remember when was the last time an individual has stood against entire cricketing establishment against Australia on there own soil and come out flying colours. The more they went after him more determined he became,, and the bowling in the two finals has been of the highest level. Salute to Harbhajan for never bending , never compromising , he truly represented the sprit of new Indian Cricket Team and more genericaly a new India, which fears no one and is proud of itself.

At the time when politicians are trying to divide the country for there personal gains on every little bias possible , its refreshing to see a united Indian Team standing behind each other in toughest of time. This is the true face of modern India . A ideal blend of pride , self respect and fearlessness


This is India's century in every field, only if we remain united, and look no further then cricket team for inspiration.

I truly belive Australia's days as megalomaniac superpower is gone and new world order comes out in which a billion people find there respectful place.

Lets celebrate a new begining :)
