| A leisurely morning | |
| It’s been a lazy morning so far. Got up late, as usual, now that I don’t have to rush through the daily routine of preparing breakfast , packing lunches , morning bath and then hurriedly getting dressed, to be out of the house by 8.30 , so as to reach Rail Bhavan ( that is where I used to work) by just a little after nine. My kids gre...

| Many of you may have come across this E-mail forward. A friend just sent it to me and it made me smile . What with the terrorism, bank bail-outs and the panic in the global economy, there are not many reasons for the upward curve, is there? So, I thought , I should share this cute story.

| Welcome to sajjanpur | |
|

| Mahadev, the hero of the film, “Welcome to Sajjanpur”, gives us a short introduction about his village, at the beginning of the film. It used to be called “Durjanpur” at one time, he explains and it was Pandit Nehru, who, after his visit there, ordered that it should be changed. As the film progressed , one realized that there was...

Looking up for the origin of this Arabic word, one learns that it comes from the root verb “kafara”, which means “cover” and originally denoted , before the advent of Islam , a farmer...

| I have always, always loved poetry, not the abstract , too intellectual kind of stuff. I have been more of a victim of maudlin sentimentalism, much too emotional at times for my own good and endowed with an incorrigibly foolish , dreamy , wistfulness. And poetry comes in handy, particularly in those times, when one is wrapped up i...

| Hope Trust Faith Belief These are mere words for some But for some they are life They fill their days with enthusiasm They fill their nights with dreams of better tomorrow They make their journey soothing Life worthwhile…. “Pardesi pardesi jaana nahin…” hearing this song my attention moved towards little Anand. True to his name he sure filled the life of others around him with anand! He was a very active child who wanted to be the winner always. Whenever I would ask kids to sing songs, he would be the first one to break into a song and his fav being pardesi pardesi ... Confident, intelligent and a very bright kid, he would get annoyed whenever I would pay more attention to other kids than him. He would fight with rest all kids, get irritated, make faces, yet looked so lovable! He lost his legs in an accident, a very tragic one! He used to live in slum near railway station. Part time rag picker part time beggar, bad company led him into drugs at the tender age of 6! One day in a highly intoxicated state he came in front of train. Although doctors saved him but they couldn’t save his legs. He was brought in children’s home and there he continues to amaze everyone with his ever effusing enthusiasm and energy. He told his story to me with no regret. No sadness, no tears, he stated everything as a matter of fact. The thing that transcends his pain, his loneliness and his worries is HOPE . He carries in his heart a HOPE for a bright future. A HOPE that everything would be fine A HOPE that he would get new legs A HOPE that he would be able to run again A HOPE that he won’t have to go back picking rags again A HOPE that he would go to school and become a bada adami one day He is the epitome of optimism and buoyancy, for me and many others who crib about their otherwise perfect lives…
