Vision Translated

I really fail to understand if we are moving forward while living in 2016 or going backwards! When will India will be adult and shall we be given the right behave like one. We are such hypocrites in all means! Our politicians and leaders are hellbent in proving Indians can shrug off the ‘Third world’ tag and can do much more than any other developed country. We have the capability of becoming leaders. On the other hand, it’s painful to see we still have to follow the rules of 1957 which is obsolete in 2016, but based on those few people are just pulling progress, as they are still law. This is disgusting! Are we really serious about the growth of our country and it’s people, or it’s just for the sake of saying! Few days back Chennai Medical Association came out with a logic that doctors cannot list themselves on any internet listing site, as per a law of 1957 and some sections. Fare enough, but does the law say that people should be harassed and die before finding a doctor t...

Is some light still there? It is shocking to hear and see, that a rapist of Delhi brutal gang rape victim 'Nirbhaya' not only is saying his views on rape but also the recommending probable remedy to any other rape victims; what should and should not be done at the time of or after a rape is conducted. It’s difficult to reconcile how can the journalist with a team,(who apparently is also a rape victim, as she says) go inside a jail with recording equipment to record the views of a rapists for her documentary! To me, what is more alarming and disturbing are the bold statements of two lawyers of the rapists on national televisions; one says almost the same version of the rapist said (what is still available on the internet) what a woman must or must not do for NOT being raped. Another goes a step ahead saying 'he would burn alive any woman of his family if found alone or any other man in the evening! Most surprisingly, they are proud to advocate their view...

A completely different kind of Holi (The Festival Of colours) is played within 100 kilometers from the heart of Delhi In next few weeks there is another Holi coming up, the color of festival. A festival of joy and love. Holi in Braj region is played for more than a week in innumerable temples of Radha-Krishna with limitless enthusiasm and devotion by thousands of people. I had been to Brindavan earlier, but not during ‘Holi’. So the experience of ‘Holi’ in Barsana and Nandgaon was simply out of the World. I drove down from Delhi. The journey started at 3AM in the morning to reach Barsana by 5AM in the morning. It was a smooth and nice drive. Reached Barsana just before the Sun shown it’s first ray. While enjoying a tea and a smoke, I started getting ready with my camera and few other things in a backpack to start the day sitting in a local tea shop.  A family tea shop. One of my most liked shoot.  While walking through the village upto the 'Ra...

Countdown begins for the D-day, Feb10, 2015 Officially 40 crores of rupees, one lakh staff and police personnel were involved in last Delhi assembly election in the end of 2013. This is as per official information available on the net and from other news agencies. While on road in traffic, people in Delhi hardly heard any song on FM channels, as all political parties came with all sorts of attractive punch lines to allure us. Some focused on tradition, some one corruption and some only ‘change’! Of course we, the people, generated all TRP and made it a hit. After the election was over, with lots of hope, expectation and expenses, what could not be achieved was a stable and honest Government in the state of Delhi, the Capital of India. After a lot of dilemma, AAP (Aam Admi Party) formed a Government with ‘unconditional support’ of Congress from outside, even AAP were at the second place in the rally after BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party) and to the utter shock, on 49 th day ...

God created human and then human created 'Godman', who most of the times do not act as Godly as we much we keep faith in them. So, even when we have full faith in God in our own ways and not the way it's shown by the Godmen. It should be a direct call to the creator, God and no via-media is needed ever. Is that the truth? If that is accepted then both movies OMG and Pk hit the same goal. Faith is needed to live, to move forward and that mostly comes from within. Faith maybe is a weakness for the human being, as future always holds the mystery and past have not been quite 'happening' mostly. So, the answer is a billion dollar business of 'Faith and hope' and the middle name of that are 'Godman'. They are the inter-mediatory between us, the often troubled common people and God. There is not any dearth of worry for downfall in this business and never have any recession. This is going on for hundreds of years, as we, the people provide TRP for t...

First day of the new year makes us feel nostalgic, at least it happens with me sometimes. An audit goes on within the mind, as how the previous year passed and what will be the new year resolutions, validity for those resolutions become only for 10days .. ok, let's make it better ..20 days at the most? So, I am starting to write today on the fifth day of the year 2015. As this writing falls in my new year's resolution. To write some, to click some, to draw some and also to play some. And to do lot more work. Too many things in  the list? I too feel so. So, it's my time for the test and see how long can I continue and if they last beyond 15 days! Last summer I went to Ladakh, but didn't still have gone through all my photographs nor could write more than two pages on the trip. But it's alright! It happens perhaps! Let's look forward and think that all those what happened last year and years before that. Let's think that they were the worst and now it can...

Missing you two! A smile on your face A grin in your eyes, A hug, you said am warm always, A kiss from your unclean lips! Few minutes of a day, Walking you at the my back, tired, Those careless talk holding me tight. A laughter from you, echoes still. Those minutes have been my days, My life and a reason to live, I missed them although, but No-more I have to cry ever. Your smile has changed for me, forever, Nor do you miss me for anytime, not a minute, Your hug was not asking for the warmth, Nor the careless talk were carefree anymore. Your lips in the crowded road was dry, My mind was numb and your eyes lied, last evening. Your half truth hurt me, but will not count, I will not think why you did it, I know my love. In an awaken middle of the night, I miss you, I miss your calls, like a purpose of my life, Miss your hugs and kisses as all my efforts ever, Miss you, saying 'miss you', to lose have I all. But I have to change, as I...

A shame for the Nation, once again! In any country we see, at the time of any major crisis or a matter of any serious concern, where people get involved, the head of the Nation comes up to expresses and assures the people of the country, to  express the views and the futures steps to people for the matter of concern, who elected them and who they are answerable to the people for forming the Government. The statement makes people of the Nation can rely on them, as the elected Government and that the peoples’ views and concern taken care of and the Government is connected to the people, who elected them. What are they busy for or they are trying to show that the incident is ‘just another one’ or they know we are helpless! Time for to know what they think as elected public servant about public and them for them to prove to public. As the biggest democracy we failed to display this always. In last few weeks, we have seen President Barrack Obama shaded tears, on the firing in ...

October10,2012 A nerve shaking and a nerve of steel instance !! Dera Islmail Khan, Pakistan: A 14-year-old Pakistani schoolgirl campaigner shot by the Taliban had defied threats for years, believing the good work she was doing for her community was her best protection, her father said on Wednesday. Malala Yousufzai was shot and seriously wounded on Tuesday as she was leaving her school in her hometown in the Swat valley, northwest of the capital, Islamabad. The Taliban claimed responsibility saying her promotion of education for girls was pro-Western and she had opposed them. "She is candle of peace that they have tried to blow out," said one Pakistani man, Abdul Majid Mehsud, 45, from the violence plagued South Waziristan region. In the Swat valley, a one-time tourist spot infiltrated by militants f...

Some snaps of the immersion of Ganapati ... the festive session begins ! Believers Last sight for the year... come soon next year God loving or God fearing 

A painting on roadside in the outskirts of a big city It was a Sunday, yes it was a bright Sunday morning trip to Sultanpur Bird Sanctuary. I woke myself up, with a lot of effort after a rough week at work. My friends were telling me a lot of ducks were there must be clicked. So, reached with my camera and after a lot of walk inside, reached to the lake where lots of ducks indeed were like waiting to be clicked. It was worth walking those extra kilometers. But, it was not the end. After coming out, the weather was becoming cloudy, I was fortunate is all I thought. As taking few snaps and the walk in the green washed away my tiredness. To have a cup of tea, I stopped my car beside the highway and say with some localities, waiting for my cup of tea to come. Just opposite side of the road, I looked at the bright yellow mustard field, behind which the clouds were giving a lot of hint that, a storm is about to hit. The tea came and I was just am...

A splash of sky and a lot of shadow https://www.facebook.com/Suvroghoshphotography It was raining for last couple weeks, maybe more. Today after I got us and looked at the sky and the driving to office, the sky was deep blue, clouds were white, silky. There was no pollution in the air is what I felt sitting in the locked AC car. So, all was good and a feel good factor working in my mind, while driving listening to some mind blowing song on my favorite FM radio station. After I reached office, I was late though, I started working and the window and the blinds beside in my cabin was diverting all my concentration out; through that small light coming through the window and mixing it with the artificial light in my room was a magic. It was strong enough to take my mind and soul look through, out.. to the sky, sun peeping through the blinds and then I distinctly could see the sharp shadows on the blinds, the sky and the ray of Sun. Standing behind the blind I loo...

In the search, till eternity Keep looking for something makes us feel we are live. A search, always for something. Each day, each moment the search in on for something and the other, knowingly or unknowingly. If the 'search' makes you realize, you are alive. Search for a toy, maybe broken, is the first search in early childhood after the lap of mother. It moves to searching for books or a pen, lost in school, when grown and start going to school. Search goes on for the favorite and lucky pair of jeans or a Tee, perhaps the next search. Search for few moments of togetherness in adolescent, to give a letter filled with love or a rose or the first kiss is something unforgettable. Search for a job, money, growth and more growth comes thereafter.. and the search goes on. To makes you feel, you are alive. From the search of love or an emptiness in-spite of being with all around us, we search for something more. We search what we don't have and mostly ...

A clorrful life Not a good practice, but I overheard the elderly lady, Mrs. Bakshi was talking to her friend Mrs. Srivastava over phone sitting beside me. As a neighbor she knew me, so she didn't bother talking to her mind sitting beside me. I was in the doctors clinic too, waiting for my turn on a Sunday afternoon. Later I saw Mr. Bakshi, with his white hair coming out from the chamber of the doctor. So, I understood that Mrs. Bakshi was perhaps accompanying her 75 year old husband. Someday he must have been a smart man and she too! While sitting beside me, I heard her saying over phone to her friend, "writing a new story, 'The Need Of The Hour', part 2", It's difficult though to write these days and my grandchildren keep asking me each hour "what do you do the whole day". 'RUPA' only is publishing it. I am happy, but I will not be in India on 8th Sep, 2012, when they publish it, as my husband wants to go back to our own small...
