The Swarg of Bharat...

Yes, M talking bout Jammu & Kashmir! I have just returned from Garware where my Sir, who guided me for my summers, had called me to meet him. He has just returned from an Amarnath yatra n wanted to show me the pics n share his experiences there. Well, frankly speaking,he has enjoyed his trip a lot n has to his account a great variety of experiences, full of thrill n pleasure.

The fact of the words, which is the topic of my write-up, I understood fully when I saw the pics of his tour which mostly were of Jammu n Kashmir. It's really an awesome place. The scenaries, gardens, roads, flowers, houses everything is so much like a place which we usually dream of. I was just imagining what it must have felt to travel at a place like that(as I had could do only that). The way of the yatra through the Glaciers n chilled chilled water. The ice rain they experienced, the mountains full with ice. The way in which people treated them as yatris, heartily enquiring each one n forcing to eat n take their seva. Everything being so full of devotion! Fully Shivmaya!

The thing that hurt me n forced me to think a lot n also to write this article was the condition, thoughts n want of the people living there. The facts that Sir got to know by talking to people there are really very sickening. There is not a single Social Service Organisation working in whole of the Jammu & Kashmir, whereas it is very important n necessary to have one as it is the link between the people n the Government. The people there are afraid to inform abount any millitant though they want to due to the fear of the government n also the millitants. The Government being irresponsible n there are great chances of the information leaking bout who gave the information. The millitants who may attack n kill any of their family members at anytime, you just cant help it.

The infrastructure is in very bad condition n not proper, n the reason which the MLA's give for this is very funny alongwith being serious n thought provoking one. N the reason is that, if in any case a time comes when due to international pressure(U.S. being the lead n major role player) we are forced to give J&K to Pakistan, then why to invest in infrastructure n similar work as it will prove a fruitless investment for us n profitablr for Pakistan! Can u just think of such a reason???

Actually seeing, the issue of J&K has now become so so messed up (Congress playing a vital role in this) that even if one wants deperately n tries to solve this issue, he'll not understand where to start from! This would have not happened if Nehru n all the other Congress leaders had not kept it as an issue only to fill up their Vote Bank which is really very shamefull n tidious for us now. The thought of how the Kashmiri's would suffer practically because of their greed didnt ever cross Nehru's mind, even of Indira Gandhi's??? Well we cannot say!

But the question still remains,
Isn't there any - any way to solve all this mess of J&K n give its residents a happy, peaceful n normal life??? Isnt it a one sided LOVE.......

Yugandhar!!!

Shri Krishna! From last 5000 years who is ruling the expressed n unexpressed feelings of all the Indians – A Yugpurush!

I recently finished reading this novel “Yugandhar” by Shivaji Sawant the 6th time. But each time I read it, I get a totally new meaning from the same lines n words which I have read twice before. Well, you’ll say that I must have mugged up the atleast 3/4th of the novel uptill now, n that is true! But still when I take it in my hands, I automatically get eager to read it once again, to know whether there is some more of the Krishna which I have not yet understood even after reading so many times. The way that Shivaji Sawant has presented each n every, known n unknown incident of Shri Krishna’s life makes one to believe that he was a Yugpurush.

Due to the nature of adapting what the forefathers have said, done n believed n great amount of illlitracy, specially in the rural areas we have made Shri Krishna one of the Gods. Without even looking at all the stories through a different angle, told n known about him, we have made him one who should be worshipped. Whereas if one looks practically n strategically at each of his thoughts, moves n deeds, we’ll understand that he is not only to be worshiped, but everything he has done n said is to be learned n implemented.

The various characters he played,
- the Kanha who used to steal Makhan from all the houses in Gokul his motive behind this being that, each n every house in the Gokul was his own, the lesson of My Country is my Home
- the Kanhayya who played with the Gopis n also teased them but was still their loved one, n the one who gave a totally new meaning to the relationship of a man n a woman with the help of Radha
- the Krishna who killed Kans the symbol of terrorism n cruelness n freed all the Yadavas
- the Murlidhar who made the whole world mad due to his Murli n taught the importance of music.
- the Krishna who studied at the Gurukul n obeyed his Guru teaching the importance of education n the Guru in every persons life
- the Vasudev who ruled his kingdom n gave the example of an ideal leadership
- the Keshav who gave a new meaning n importance to the sister-brother relationship n also to the husband-wife relationship
- the Achyut who fought for the Pandavas representing the side of truth n justice n against the Kauravas representing Asatya
- the Shri Krishna who was responsible for the famous Mahabharat yudh, which proved the win of Justice over Injustice, who helped many people to attain Moksh
- the Yugpurush who made the Yug that he lived a History!

He Preached so many examples n teachings by first following it himself, the importance of Mother, Friend, Lover, Husband, Brother, King, each n every role played by a human being in his life. Such a different meaning of every small thing!

The most important n one which will be useful to every human being till they persist is The BagvadGita! The thoughts that are applicable, no matter how n to what extent the world n people change.

He is the only one who is considered more as a friend than as a God. The Morpankh got a very different meaning due to him n is dear to all.

Well, I’ll never stop writing n describing him as he himself has so much in him. But the most he is known for is the meaning he gave to Love, the eternal truth!

!!Shri Krishna-Arpan-Namastu!!

Chitthi aai hai...

A good time span has passed for this, i.e. it’s a long time for me to receive a letter from someone. In today’s age of technology change taking place rapidly, all n mostly the young generation is preferring, rather only uses e-mails, sms, mobiles, n even web cam to talk or convey their feelings n messages.

I still remember my school days when we were taught the method of writing letters, not only that but also the various types n contents that should be included in the letter. The questions asked in the exam about writing a letter. There used to be always 2 options, either to write a formal one, like to the principal or an officer or to write an informal one i.e. to your brother, sis, uncle, aunt, n sometimes even to mom or papa. I always used to go for the formal one, as I always felt it easier to write as compared to the informal one. Now I understand the reason, firstly whenever I think of writing an informal letter, especially to those who are very close to us, the format n the wordings automatically come to my mind, but in my mother tongue. I have always felt comfortable with marathi while expressing my feelings, though I’m perfect n easy with English too. The other reason was that, it is easy to write a formal letter as you don’t have to express your feelings rather you have to impress others feelings n thoughts. This is the basic n foremost difference which makes formal easier than informal, where you have to express yourself n not just that but in such a way that the reader should feel exactly the same way with which you have written it.

I agree that letters now-a-days are just used for official correspondence, the reason being the uncertainness of the letter reaching in time n to some extent our postal department is also responsible for that. In comparison to this mail reaches instantly n we can write it as long n as we please the way to write. Still, no matter how you write, the feelings, emotions n eagerness lacks in them, which is there in the letters. The reason for this is that, a letter is handwritten which proves that whatever is written is by the heart, whereas emails are after all electronic. So you will agree, that an e-greeting though gives the happiness n conveys ones feelings, but a greeting or even a four line letter makes more impact n is more dear to us.

Therefore I always deeply believe, that no matter to what extent the technology enhances, Letters will never die…………I would say, as the technology is improving, it is increasing the importance of letters, handwritten letters.

Tabhi to, Lovers aaj bhi e-mails n e-technology sab chod ke Love-Letters hi likhte hai…………

Rain brings the recap of memories......

There is really a fabulous atmosphere here at home (i.e. Aurangabad) & M enjoying it to its fullest. The continuous pouring of rain, sometimes heavily, while sometimes just like a shower. There are so many things & memories attached to it............

The feel of new raincoat, new shoes, new dress, new bag, the smell of new books neatly wrapped in brown covers......... All the unforgettable school days memories, experience of each year when the school starts. I still remember those days, when though I used to carry my raincoat with me, I mostly enjoyed the rain, getting wet in it, jumping in the pool of water etc....... Of course! I had to go through my Moms scoldings for all this........

The rains that I enjoyed with my friends during my college days. I still remember the mischieves we used to do........ especially the rain plan, it was that as soon as it used to start raining, we used to make so much noise in the class & would force our professors to leave us & then............ we all, on our bikes, would form a chain blocking the road & enjoy the rain............

My most memorable monsoon is the one I enjoyed at "Malshej" where I had gone for trecking. It is really a marvellous place. The experience of trecking through the mud, slipping now n then, fear n thrill of passing a jungle......... ending with all of us reaching the bottom of the mountain n enjoying the experience of exploring a small river at the bottom. When we reached there n I got down from the bus, I felt as if...... as if I was covere all over by the clouds......... the same experience as we usually see in the fairy tale movies. The atmosphere due to the rains was .................... Oooh Wowww!

Rainy season is the best season to enjoy trecking, no matter which place it is. Wherever you go, you feel like......... like earth has just entered her teenage & the sky is showering his Love on her, due to which she is looking more n more beautiful day by day...... Really, the way each even the smallest place looks & feels during the rains......... so Green, so Fresh, so Vibrant. So perfect for everything............. especially for Love

Isiliye to........ "Saawan - the Love season..........."
