Happy father's day Papa ji

                                                                  Happy Father's Day
                                                                       "PAPA JI"

FOR YOU DAD..

I wrote poems for mom and never missed to talk to her any day.
But I could never tell you that I love you ,on any single day.


After getting married, when I am in other home now,
I want to tell you something, I missed telling you long ago


You were always there for me and I took you for granted,
        You never showed me much emotions,
               but provided me whatever I wanted.

When Mom was studying, you used to make chhotees,
         There was a dhaba below your office,
                 from where you used to get Rotis.

Every Sunday morning, you did our Tel Maalish in the sun,
     That's the only reason,
            I have got strong muscles in return.

You recorded my voice in cassettes and inspired me to sing,
           You sometimes bullied me too,
                While teaching me cycling.


You introduced me to diaries
      and taught how to write letters in English.

You tried teaching me "Plan and Elevation",
         but that was never my dish.

You are a master of Mathematics,
         though I could never catch your logarithm lessons.

But if my blood has this subject,
        it is because of your verbal discussions.


You took us to visit various places,
       though travelling is not my liking,

But Now, I also boast in front of my husband,
       "Mera Papa Ji" has shown me this place already.

You encouraged every small interest of mine,
       and wanted me to reach new heights.

I could not fulfill all your dreams,
       but I swear , I genuinely tried.


Thank you Dad for being patient with me,
      even when I made it difficult for you,

But I always trusted your decisions,
      because I knew,  you love me too.

I am  very happy with my life,
      though little things keep going here and there,

Responsibilities are pouring,
      and I am having my share.

In between, I close my eyes,
      and remember all those times.

I miss my home, my childhood,
      and all those lovely times.


Those days won't come back now,
      and its time to move on.
But I remember my promise,
     to make you around the world, on my own:).

                                
                                                  HAPPY FATHER'S DAY "PAPA JI"

अयोध्या का फैसला...


500 सालों के बाद अयोध्या का फैसला आया है
मस्जिद में ही राम जी का जन्मस्थान बताया है
बाँट दिया है  उस धरती को जिसने भारत को रुलाया है
२ हिस्से हिन्दुओं ने और एक टुकड़ा मुस्लिम भाइयों ने पाया है

कहते है उन टुकडो पे हिन्दू मंदिर बनायेंगे
राम जी को उनके घर वापस लेके आयेंगे
जिस भूमि पे रक्त गिरा हो क्या राम वहां चल पाएंगे
जिस हवा में रुदन हो क्या राम वहां सो पाएंगे

मंदिर तो बना लोगे पर भगवान  कहाँ से लाओगे
उन मस्जिद कि दीवारों पे क्या कुरान कभी लिख पाओगे

क्या कुरान कभी लिख पाओगे....

You are doing well Bhaiya...

A birthday gift to my Bro - I wrote when I was in School!! Got it from an old diary of his

While preparing for your birthday,I thought
On this earth,why were you brought.
That too earlier than when I was sent,
In year,time and even in month.

Actually I think,god created me first,
 to be sent on this beautiful earth.
But while he was writing my appointment letter,
he would have thought, "I can do better".

He must had reviewed me to know my shortcomings,
defintely he did not want to change the basic settings.
He first designed a brain with more grey cells inside,
then attached a face to it, a fairer one with small brown eyes.

As I was created earlier with a big unusual size,
there was scracity of material so he had to compromise
He made a big beautiful heart with big lungs on sides,
That's why you can breathe so much air that your cheeks glow red even in tubelight.

Then taking care of my untidy nature and physical weakness,
he gave you big muscles and a habbit as cleanliness.
That's how you were created and was sent to earth,
and as you left,I also made hue and cry for my birth.

God never wanted to send the defective pieces down to earth,
But my adamant and stubborn nature troubled him also too much.
He looked at me and thought what could be done,
and there were no chance at all that I could get my turn.

Suddenly a brilliant idea flashed into his mind,
Why not place her with a guy who is similar to her but better compiled.
Who can cover all her mistakes and shortcomings
 and also understand her well as both would have similar settings.

Even if she creates troubles and while all her dreams shatter,
No one except this guy in this world,who can handle her better.
So,that's why I came behind you exactly four years later,
and now enjoy your shed in all rough troubled weather.

So,Now you know why you came early and why I came later,
You must know one thing more,you are doing well and no one can do better.

KEEP DOING WELL :).

We wake up from our sleep when a tragedy happens and then sleep again

Getting lot of free time in office from last 2 days and i am happily spending that time in library, catching up so many newspapers and magazines i left long back (it feels so :)).
And finally getting some time to blog also..after a long time :)

Just recollecting and re-organizing some information i came across, in last few months and was actually thinking over these news articles for sometime..and now i got the last straw..n i had to write to put my thoughts and opinions in words and give make some free space in mind..

There was a Tata Nano incident in Mumbai where a brand new Tata Nano burnt to ashes after few hours of driving on the way to home from the dealer.Luckily the family (couple with a kid ) escaped the fire.On investigation,it was found that this car was not meant for sale.Infact the engine on the sticker indicated that it was manufactured during pre-production phase.
Well,the interesting part was..the buyer got some 4-6 laks as compensation from Tata Motors and this appeared in a very small column of newspaper..not sure how many caught it..and then..the story is forgotton.

In last 3 months,i read 2 similar stories ..regarding car manufacturers..recalling their cars from Europe and few other parts of world due to soem manufacturing issue (one was A-star..dont remember the other one).

And the last,i read a post on a website..where people r giving their opinions about Volkswagon Polo launched in India.One person has posted,"Volkswagon POLO launshed in Europe is a wonderful vehicle..but see wht they have given to India".There were no other technical details mentioned by that person so could not justify the statements with logic or make a conclusion.While we had discussion with Volkswagon dealers,they told that the company is not ready to negotiate on its qulaity,so 75% of the Car parts are still imported and here by we have 4 months waiting period.Aprt from that,I do not have much idea on automobiles technically but that single post gives me a alarm for sure.

Today,while reading the analysis of Mangalore air tragedy in Outlook,I read that there were concerns raised by different NGOs regarding construction of this airport and further regarding its safety but everything was ignored as it was in favour of some political interests.

Some experts claimed that it as a technical fault.When such crash or failure happens in US,all the parts of the craft are collected from the debris and put together,faulty equipment is identified and then the batch of these equipments are re-called from wherever it was provided.

Some aviation experts have commented that it is the fatigue of pilots that caused the accident.Some more incidents have been cited where the pilots slept off while the plane crossed the destination airport itself and were alerted(woken up) by ATC to come back..and luckily they had enough fuel to come back..and the passengers were even more lucky..and no such tragedy happened..and thus we did not have any big headlines in newspapers and TV Channels..If the journalists knew about such accidents (The magizine cited 3 such incidents in this article),why weren't they made it a headline..May be a they had a bigger tragedy that time to catch the attention of the audience..and actually we were happily sleeping and nobody wanted to wake up..we were waiting for this tragedy..

This really annoys me and leaves me just speechless and actually helpless...
Though the actual cause of this crash is not known till now,but the tragedy does connect the Tata Nano accident and the other incidents listed above somewhere in my mind.

If the Tata Nano incident would have happened in US, not sure of the compensation but definitely it would not have been so simple affair as it was in India.Though,I am technically ignorant about the automobile industry and technical details,but I cant recollect if any such recall has ever been done in india.For the Mangalore tragedy also,we have a committee and investigation is being carried on..But would we have some solid outputs..and would those outputs make some change to ensure that none of other similar tragedies would happen?

May be this is the price we pay for being part of a Developing Nation where life is a little cheaper.

After Mangalore incident,our sleep is little disturbed but i assure you,we will sleep again.May be on the first anniversary of this incident next year,we have to wake up again as the magazines and newspapers will be publishing headlines ..the regretting or sympathy stories regarding this incident..and then we will sleep again till another tragedy happens.

There are some laws regarding the rest time for the pilots but seems the contract employees are over burdened and these laws are broken.And who paid for breaking of these laws..those innocent people on air India flight..We don't want cheap air tickets..we can manage..but please do not put our lives at risk..

Don't know what else I can say..But now whenever I will fly..i will be scared if our pilot is snoozing in the cockpit..

Disclaimer : I have no idea about the true stories behind these magazine articles and newspapers..I just have these sources for info and my opinion is solely based upon them.

Human Nature

Documenting another trait of human nature..completely inspired..observed in me..

Few months back,I was in a state where I wanted nothing...Forget about career..I was ready to do any compromise in my personal life...Obviously that was frustration but the span was long enough to think and re consider the decision..or throw out my frustration and think positively..but I just closed my mind..my decision and attitude remained same..sometimes i felt that I have become saint who does not want anything in life..people around me became immaterial and non-existant..I visualised myself as the unluckiest human being on earth and felt myself un-compareable to anyone around in terms of professional capability or life style..I came out of my house only for office...rest I had locked myself in the four walls..may be Iwas even scared of light..what if someone sees me and says..what a failure she is...even sometimes I thought of finishing my life..but as human nature is..we never kill ourselves in our dream also :)

But then the life changed in a blink of eye..and things happened so fast that I can not believe even now.Suddenly different nail paints started attracting me once again...i started thinking about looking good again...all the cosmetics I bought in Canada seem to be very less in quantity and variety now...Now I eat with choice and for fun..not only for sake of filling the stomach..And all of a sudden..I started feeling confident and demanding for my self and my capabilities..I want everything more now....unlike the saint I used to be..I am a completely selfish and greedy person now..I want better job.,.better salary..more satisfaction from work..want to study and imporove my self..want to explore the world..different places..want to learn business..different fields and talents..want to drive..play..dance..and above all..I want to live..once again..

I know,I can not get that time back which I lost earlier..so I am trying to live more in the time left..May be I am trying to run very fast now to combat the earlier delay..

But this extra fast run does make me tired sometimes..My mind accepted the change but my body still needs to accept this change..that will take a little more time...My mind has to slow down a little ..and give my body some time to reach up to that level..

But if u ask me..there is only one thing I wish for from deep of my heart..
Oh lord..please dont slow me down again as u did earlier..
I know you will not give me anything I cant handle..but I wish you don't trust me much..
I survived the earlier blow somehow but please not the other one..
I do not want to survive ...Now I want to live a life which I cherish when I am at my death bed..
Lord Christ..please let your kid smile now.. :)

Fate..who rules..

We all wud hv received this message in mails..or wud h heard from people..
When God says "No" to our wishes..wht all it may imply.
1."No",I wont give u. ->It is not good for u
2."No",I wont give it to you now ->Wait for sometime
3."No",I have something better for you.


This all looks good and even feel positve,if you dont want to argue against god.But I want to..and I wanted for long..n wished..when I will go there..I will ask reply for all questions of mine.

Why is there pain in this world..why some suffer for even a meal and some waste food at leisure?
Is it their good deeds in last birth that pays them off...but then why we say..jo bhi hai isi janam main hai.
The above is associated with birth of a child in a specific family..So,I still agree to the belief of last birth.But what about dreams getting crushed or being compromised.who is responsible for that..and this question is still unanswered for me...and none of the above solutions of GOD satisfies me...

If god has already planned for something for me..why show me the other dreams and then let me go through the pain of loosing something i wanted and worked for..and not enjoying the one tht u hv given me.,..how much better it wud be..

Second...i still accept...late than never..

but first...why did god had to hurt me,...
