INDO-PAK:DISTANCE BREWING

On the Pakistan’s Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s reiteration on confidence building between the two nations, his Indian counterpart  Narendra  Modi abruptly said that how can one be confident bearing the wound/scar of six years old 26/11 Mumbai attack. Though there were several remarkable confidence-breaking activities from Pakistan’s end since the the oath-taking of Modi as PM. Emphasizing on combating terrorism in South Asia, he proposed business visa with SAARC countries.
In the dais of 18^th.SAARC Summit-2014 held in Nepal, both the premieres of India and Pakistan were present but looked downbeat at each other. The words of accusations are on fore, though indirectly. if the account be taken of Pakistan’s anti-India activities since May 2014,it would count in hundred including numerous violations of ceasefire. Ultimately India had to cancel the foreign secretary- level talks with Pakistan.
And now instead of putting check on the anti-India activities, Pakistan is blaming us of cancellation of the talks. It shows the dual policy of Pakistan that the talks and the anti-India activities would go simultaneously. One should have courage to oppose the misdeeds which Modi has conveyed. Besides, urged the SAARC nations to join hands to combat terrorism. If the sovereign nation has the right to keep itself peaceful, then its duty is not to disturb the neighboring nations too. One should be forthright to put everything to fore for the permanent solution of any problem. Pakistan’s third party appeal to resolve Jammu & Kashmir dispute is nothing more than a farce. It can be solved only by the two concerned nations in an amicable environment. Both the nations would have to come out of their ego and vested interest.  
However, on the statement of Nawaz Sharif about ‘the ball is in the India’s court’, Modi must respond whole heartedly arranging the foreign secretary-level talks again which might cut the ice between the two nations. Besides, India does not need any certificate of endurance, perseverance and above all the patience from anyone else.
In fact, Nepal’s bid to materialize the the difference between India and Pakistan is commendable. But pressure won’t work. The matter has gone far beyond pressure level.

WHEN BARBARISM CRUSHED HUMANISM

Jigar came to our house frequently during my school days. He was a mason by profession. Any major construction or a even minor repair work, he was the only person who was called. He used to sit at the corner of the floor bowing down his head. Keeping the head down was a part of his personality.We usually chatted with him at the tea time or any gap from the work.
The possessed a mild behavior, above all he was abundantly tolerant. I didn’t see even a line of frowning on his face despite provocation. In off hours, when we sat around my elder brother teased him. Though we all shared a light. He said-you are foolish, you are idiot etc. Jigar’s instant response was not more than JI…(it is a word which shows approval  in Hindi.).All of us burst into laughter just after his reply.His simplicity and innocence was admirable. These qualities make him just UNFORGETTABLE. Even now he is remembered at times during any conversation.
We also a nice fun time too. We asked him if he knew English. His immediate response was YES. For a fun, we often persuaded Jigar to speak English. He started speaking English boldly PAST INDEFINITE,PAST IMPERFECT, PAST PERFECT…..BEETA HUA ZAMANA…GUZRA HUA ZAMANA….AB KAL AANA (time passed, now come tomorrow).Seeing us laughing he also accompanied us. We enjoyed his company a lot. Meanwhile he lost his mental balance. He used to wander here and there after this state of mind.
Despite his mental state he often came to our house. We made him waiting in our house and sent message to his  by any means. In the meantime, the communal riot broke out in October 1989. During that period one fateful day arrive when a fanatic mob lynched him. Killing an insane person cannot be matter of bravery, but a huge blot on humanity. It cannot be glorified by any means. It just compels one to think the humanity is fading day by day.

ASKED FOR WATER,GOT REFUSAL

Refusing someone asking for water is even more than a SIN.
There was an Annual Sports and Prize Distribution Day in a certain school. The guardians of the students were cordially invited to witness the event. The enthusiastic participants were looking forward to show their talents and the rest were cheering them up. In fact, the whole campus seemed enthralling. Every person was enjoying the moment wholly. But the two incidents during the event were amply shocking. Both the happenings  would compel any sensible person to think seriously about the incident.
The exuberant participants were exuding their synergy and efficiency in their respective items. Those innocent blooming buds were trying head to toe to give the best performance. However, a subject named ‘Value Education ‘ is a part of syllabus in most of the schools. But it is hardly in practice.
The first incident was hugely shocking. Some participants (perhaps three or four in number) rushed towards the place where packed drinking water glasses were stored. Being thirsty they asked for water. The teacher over there flatly refused, saying-‘these are not for you’. It was really astounding.
The teacher’s attitude seemed abolishing the ‘Value Education. This awful behaviour obviously reflects the approach towards the students. It is said the schooling makes child a perfect person. But the present scene just refuted the saying. Just think what the child will be later.
Though the next one is not so relevant in this context, but is definitely remarkable. There were chief guest and the other special invitees sitting in the first row on the stage during the event. Besides, there were a few row of chairs placed for the guardians too. The packed water glasses were being served on the stage. Meanwhile, a voice was heard saying-‘Serve the water to the chief guest and other dignitaries, not the guardians.’ What would any sensible guardian think hearing this. These incidents reflect the downfall of the values in the Temple Of Education.

अनंत की ओर

अपेक्षाओं के झंझावात में

कातर खड़ा एक मानव,
कभी आगे तो कभी
पीछे देखता और
निर्निमेष निहारता विशाल नभ।
कहीं कोई छोर मिलने
की क्षीण आशा लिये।
अगले ही क्षण गणना
में लग जाता कि
कितनी भूलें की जीवन में।
आंखें बंद करता तो
सहस्र नयन मिलते घूरते
आशय था एक यक्ष प्रश्न
ऐसा क्या किया तुमने
जो तुम्हारा नाम लें।
पलायनवादी, कापुरुष जैसे
अलंकारों से अलंकृत किया
इसी उहापोह में बैठा खंडित
भग्न, आहत मन लिये।
आक्रमणों का वृहत भंवर
प्रताड़नाओं की बार-बार
उठतीं लहरें,विदिर्ण कर
जातीं हृदय और कर
जातीं आत्मा को आहत।
भारी कदमों पर सहसा
खड़ा होकर मानव चल
पड़ा किसी ओर,
न कोई दिशा न लक्ष्य।
कदाचित अनंत की ओर।

PRIMARY EDUCATION: A PATHETIC SPECTRE

 Indeed, primary education in our country draws its sordid state. Neither the corrective measures are inculcated, nor taught seriously. Most of the teachers do their jobs indifferently. The words, either be it of any language(Hindi, English etc.) are pronounced wrong.The regrettable fact is that they don’t get even the right information. It is quite shocking and alarming for the guardians.
The situation is getting grim. As a matter of fact, this indifference costs one in the long run. Whenever the guardians go through the workbooks and exercise books, several mistakes are seen. Even the wrong words and spellings are marked correct. When the teacher is asked about it they just put the lame excuse. They say that how it is possible in so many students. The guardians get confused that whom are they talking with. At least such reply is not expected from a teacher. I would like to put an example in this context.
The teachers usually use shortened form of some words during explaining. At least they should say a complete word especially in the primary classes. Once I asked my son about his general knowledge book and he was confused. When I took out the book from the bag and showed him. His immediate response was Its GK. It is said that the teacher is next to God. So, they would have to take that much pain. They are carving the future of a child. On the other hand, the pronunciations are very dismal. Its really irritating when a child pronounces FRACTION as FU-RACTION /ˈfəræk.ʃ ə n/ , SPHERE as SU-PHERE /səfɪə r / etc. Agreed that in Punjabi there is no combination of letters(alphabets). But is HINDI and ENGLISH there is. It is expected that English and Hindi should be taught accordingly. Once there was a shocking piece of evidence that the President of India was named Mohammed Ansari. It is common that the President is Mr. Pranab Mukherjee.
These instances compel us to rethink for our children. On which way are the moving? Subsequently, if any student gets place in merit list, its their maximum effort. The school’s role seems minimum . In the name of public school they charge a hefty amount. What do they give in return is easily assumed. When the base won’t be strong how can their personality be built.
 In fact, it is the time for the people to be alert in this regard. Something harmful will occur if they don’t be aware at this right time. The ominous silence is spread all around.

AAP:WOULD HISTORY BE REPEATED?

IndiBloggers.inAam Admi Party convenor and former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is again in the field with his team blowing the trumpet of promises.And it contains providing free wi-fi connectivity in Delhi.However,the party has decided not to present a manifesto,but to interact with the different sections of the society.

Indeed the AAP gives a nice start to its campaign. But as the time passes the party leaders get confusing deliberately due to administrative bankruptcy. The overconfident leader(especially Kejriwal) starts acting haphazardly just to challenge the current political system. Ultimately the situation appears to be re melodramatic. The party leaders would have to learn how to run a government.
Despite being in power, the leaders act as opposition. So, firstly they have to develop the mentality to be administrative and to tackle the upheavals coming in the way.They have to be develop perseverance and above all tolerance for it. The jugglery can’t work in running a government. Though it is bestowed by  other political parties too. So, if the AAP government replaces jugglery from the system,it would be a memorable part of the government.
During  its previous tenure the party made the call of referendum. Obviously the crisis arose due to its fault.Kejriwal Terming Congress and Bharatiya Janata Party corrupt, Kejriwal refused to take support of any one. Later had to accept Congress support to form a government. Afterwards to satisfy its ego, raised the issue of JanLokpal and resigned from the government.
Interestingly, the JanLokpal bill seems abolished from the party this time.It is not even pronounced.
