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 On the other hand, it’s painful to see we still have to follow the rules of 1957 which is obsolete in 2016, but based on those few people are just pulling progress, as they are still law.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...

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 ...

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 ...

The story of Sheikh Salim Chisti Darga and Mughal Emperor Akbar’s links with it ! Near Agra and Keoladeo National park, there is a World Heritage Site, which is the palace of Mughal Emperor Akbar and adjacent the tomb of Seikh Salim Chishti, which surprisingly shares the same wall, but it is still now is a personal property. The ancestors of Sheikh Salim Chisti still stay in the compound. Each time I visited the pace for a weekend long drive, came to know little bit from each guide and then read more to know some more. Each part of it was more interesting more the interesting story. Salim Chisti, leading his Shaikzada Division, fought in the Battle of Haldighati for Akbar, against Maharana Pratap, that’s another story. Salim Chishti was a greatly worshiped Sufi Mystic who, it was thought by many, could perform wonders, which very truly in 2012 is also showing the wonders in all means. The Mughal Emperor the great visionary ‘Akbar-e-Azam’ (Inhsah Allah) went to...

A narrow passage to pass through

Deeg Palace.. a forgotten tale of an Indian king. We often forget that the name of the commonly known 'Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary' is 'Keoladeo Bird Sanctuary', which comes from the Keoladeo temple (Lord Shiva) next to the watch-tower in the middle of the sanctuary. Such is the story of Deeg! How to reach Deeg Deeg is153 kms from New Delhi & 98 kms from Agra) falls within the territorial limits of the holy Braj-Bhumi. Known as ancient Dirghapura in district Bharatpur of Rajasthan, Deeg became a stronghold of the Jat rulers during 18th -19th cent AD. Deeg is deeply connected with the rise of the Jat peasants under the leadership of Rajaram (AD 1686-88), Bhajja Singh (AD 1688-98) and Chudaman (AD 1695-1721). After the death of Chudaman, Badan Singh (AD 1722-56) consolidated his authority over several districts.  Badan Singh (1722 – 56 AD) after assuming the throne consolidated the headman ship of the tribe and was the founder of the Jat hous...
