Young India

          In words of James” Youth is the joy, the little bird that has broken out of the eggs and is eagerly waiting to spread out its wings in the open sky of freedom and hope.”

            Youth is like a butterfly. They want to fly, ready to suck the juice of innovative and appreciable idea, the spread the blossoms with their talent and perfume it everywhere, so nobody fails to smell it. Youth is the spring of Life. It is the age of discovery and dreams. India has the largest youth population in the world today. The entire world is eying India as a source of technical manpower. They are looking at our youth as a source of talent available at low cost for their future super profits and to manipulate them. They want to touch the sky, reach the galaxies with their own feet and to represent their self to change the world. The youth hopes for a world free of poverty, unemployment, inequality and exploitation of all the mankind by man itself. A world free of discrimination on the grounds of race, colour, language and gender. A world full of creative challenges and opportunities to conquer them. But let us convert these hopes in reality. They wish to lead the India.

            Not only this, but youth recognizes problems and can solve them. Youth are strong forces in social movements. They educate children about their rights. They spread awareness among the people about our laws and other rights. They have a desire to see each and every child being educated and not been grown up under child labor. They want to clear out many myths which are being carried away from many years and want to develop the new laws which can build up their perception and allow this nation as Young India.

            Everybody wants to go to out of India, to work for the other people. But why not here in India? We are much facilitated by new technologies and some easy ways, but somewhere we are far away from other country. In laws, in the system, the way we work and leading the nation. We are still stuck in between gender; men and woman. We have not come out of it yet. We do differentiate between girls and boys. Are we really modernized now? We say, we live with modern trends. But why our thoughts are so old and not respectable? Yet we have not given that position to girls which they really deserve. We are still looking at them in a bad manner. Do not forget that your mother or sister might be one of them. We have already achieved everything, we have reached at the moon and left our foot print there also. But we are far away to win everybody’s heart. It is not difficult to make it happen, but first we have to begin with one’s own self only then only expect from the other. It’s like ‘charity beings at home.’

            We live in that country where everybody is thinking of others and saying that if he/she does that then why should not I be? Everybody wants their house to be neat and clean. What about the streets/roads? Isn’t it your home too? If we can't keep our home clean, then we don’t have right to make it dirty as well. When we go abroad, then we get all types of sense and rules on our feet get touched on the earth. Why there? Because we are bound by their rules and must be follow them. We can’t deny there, despite being the son of MLA or someone such. But when the matter comes to India, lack of strictness in laws, we get back to  our normal state. But if we want to make better India, wish to see it as everybody’s dream country, then we must change it from our self. There is nobody who is waiting for us to change, but we are the only one responsible to make it better and win everybody’s heart by our deeds. As it is said: ‘Be the change you wish to see in others.’ As per our CM statement “ I want a queue of people who are desperately waiting for their visa to visit India.” I guess those days are not far. But just that we want a revolution. We want system to be changed and must be strictly followed by every person even if they are poor or rich or why not son of MLA as well. Only this youth has that much energy to revolt. We have to emerge the strength and ability. And must take responsibility to see the better India in coming years. So we should be proud of our self and of our nation too. We must give respect to each and every region, to every person and don’t ever try to categorize anything. God has created human being but we unfortunate that we have actually forgot to make our selves being human.

            India can become a developed nation only if everyone contributes to the best of his or her capacity and ability. Youth is wholly experimental and with the full utilization of the talents of the Youth, India will become a complete Nation or say it super power. Let us hope for the same. Because the matter is not only about me and you, it is about “us”. Start it from Me…. From Now….

Change the India, rebuild the India,

Develop the India, to see the better India,

Because it is our India,

The Youth of India, the “Young India“….

Raksha-Bandhan

 “Raksha-Bandhan” the strong and pure bond between brother and sister. Raksha Bandhan is an ancient festival, and has many myths and historic legends linked to it. For example, the Rajput queens practiced the custom of sending Rakhi threads to neighboring rulers as a token of brotherhood. It comes on full moon day of Shravan month.

Raksha Bandhan is not only for meant for siblings, but for protection for any loved one. 'Raksha' means protection and 'bandhan' means bond. Hence the festival does not signify the bond between a brother and sister only.

             Once Indra, the God of Heaven was about to go into battle and was feeling a little apprehensive. When his wife tied a sacred thread to his arm for his protection and assurance all his fears vanished and he was successful in all his endeavors. From then on began the tradition by celebrating Raksha Bandhan. A festival of protection for loved ones. I think people are being led away from the true meanings of some happenings because they follow traditions, instead of finding the true meaning and stems of these traditions.

On this occasion sister ties a Rakhi on her brother’s wrist. Not only the Rakhi but she pours it with her blessings and prayers which are the strongest amongst anything.  She applies Tilak on his forehead and feed him with sweets. In opposite brother gives surety to protect her sister throughout their life and give her all the happiness that she deserves. This festival is of sweetness, purety and a true relationship. This makes their bond stronger and even stronger.

Once the Rakhi has been tied, the sister says a prayer for the well-being - good health, prosperity and happiness - for her brother. This ritual sometimes involves an aarti, where a tray with lighted lamp or candle is ritually rotated around the brother's face, along with the prayer and well wishes.

I guess brother and sister’s bond is the best friendship bond that I have ever seen. They fight it like an enemy, care it like a friend and support like parents. The sisters don’t even forget to send their Rakhi to their brothers, even they have settled down somewhere else in the world. It's like celebrating the  a strong bond with your first partner in every crime you have made.

This festival is not only the day of joy or happiness, but it is also the day of prosperity, loving each other and believing their bonds to make it very stronger and always been there to stand by each other’s side.

 

Together – together we grow older,                    

Slowly - slowly we come closer and  make it longer,

I don’t know what to say,                                                       

There is a bond which makes us stronger,

Because there is no one like brother and sister.

Friends Forever

             “Friendship” is a relationship of mutual affection between two or more people. It is a strong bond between people’s mutual understanding and trust no matter from where they are been belonging.

            Now days, it has become easier to make a friend via any social networking sites. Friendship is a second step of strangers. All the friends are been strangers before, but after talking, getting to know each other well they become friends. No matter from where you have been making friend, it does only matter till when you are going to stick with your friendship.

            During childhood we make friends randomly. These friendships are maintained through affection, sharing and creative playtime. We don’t expect anything from them. We used to share our toys (except chocolates) with them, sometimes a boy used to kiss his girl-friend in front of their parents innocently. We used to fight and complaint about one another to our parents. Everything was forgiven because that was the golden era where we used live innocently.

            When we grow up with our maturity, our friend circle gets increased. Some of them become casual, some of them become very closer and few of them become the Best one.

            Friends are those who can always be there with you after your family. Sometime we become friend from some social networking site or in just unexpected way; I guess that doesn’t matter from which way you have been connecting. In our life we find someone who is elder than you, but age is just a number when we are really similar with bonding and mutual understanding. Sometime we find some friend who is totally opposite of us, but only he/she could become our best friend. In the friendship; age or distance doesn’t matter. We make some friend randomly but we never know after talking and spending time they will replace the tag of “random friend” with “special friend”.

            In this world, you will find many friends, but it is very difficult to find the true friend. If find one then don’t try to lose them. True friend always leads you on the right path. Sometime if we get distracted, they hold our hand and drag out from the problem. But in this era it is very difficult to find a true friend like “Krishna-Sudama”. No matter where we are and who are we they are always been there to support, care and give unconditional love. Better not to lose them.

            Sometimes we get into some misunderstanding or a fight.  Due to which we don’t even talk for couple of hours or days or week, but when they talk or meet up, it feels like adding sugar into tea. Then only we feel complete. Even though we fight, stop talking, but we miss that person who has added an effort to dig dimple on our cheeks. That’s what we called Friend.

Without friends our life is like movie without any story. Friends fill the colors in our life with their presence and make it a RAINBOW with togetherness. Single I can smile but together we can laugh, single I can make myself complete but together we can make our life complete. Sometime they make us laugh, sometime they make us cry. No matter where we are and on which position we have been, they are always been missed. So friends are ever and forever. Love them, care them, support them and respect them, but don’t dare to forget/lose them.

               “Yaaron Dosti Badi Hi Haseen Hai Yeh Na Ho To Kya Phir Bolo Yeh Zindagi Hai. 

                          Koi To Ho Raazadaar Begaraz Tera Ho Yaar Koi To Ho Raazadaar…”

This article is dedicated to all my friends who are in my life across the world or on facebook and have been the part of my journey, always standing by my side.

Also thanks to my friends who are not in touch with me but still somewhere in the world draws my image when they hear my name and murmuring “ Saala ajib dost tha !!”.
