मैने शांती नाही जानी हैं ...

आता पुन्हा पाऊस येणार......

काय रे देवा...

आता पुन्हा पाऊस येणार
आकाश काळ निळ होणार
मग मातीला गंध सुटणार
मग मध्येच वीज पडणार
मग तुझी आठवण येणार
काय रे देवा...

मग ती आठवण कुणाला दाखवता नाही येणार
मग मी ती लपविणार
मग लपवूनही ते कुणालातरी कळावस वाटणार
मग ते कुणीतरी ओळखणार
मग मित्र असतील तर रडणार
नातेवाईक असतील तर चिडणार
मग नसतच कळल तर बर अस वाटणार
आणि या सगळ्याशी तुला काहीच घेण देण नसणार..

मग त्याच वेळी नेमका दूर रेडिओ चालू असणार
मग त्यात एखाद जुन गाण लागलेल असणार
मग त्याला एस. डी . वर्मन नी चाल दिलेली असणार
मग ते साहीर नी गायलेल असणार
मग ते लतानी गायलेल असणार
मग तू ही नेमका आत्ता हेच गाण एकत असशील तर.. असा प्रश्न पडणार
मग उगाच छातीत काहीतरी हूर हूरणार
मग ना घेण ना देण
पण फूकाचे कंदील लागणार
काय रे देवा...

मग खिडक्यांचे गज थंडगार होऊन जाणार
मग त्याला आकाशाची आसव लगडणार
मग खिडकीत घट्ट बांधून ठेवलेल्या आपल्या पालथ्या मुठीवर ते टपटपणार
मग पाच फूट पाच इंच देह अपुरा अपुरा वाटणार
मग ऊर फुटून जावस वाटणार
छाताडातून ह्रदय काढून त्या शुभ्र धारांखाली धरावस वाटणार
मग सारच कस मुर्खासारख उत्कट उत्कट होत जाणार
पण तरीही श्वासांची लय फक्त कमी जास्त होत जाणार
बंद नाही पडणार
काय रे देवा...

पाऊस पडणार
मग हवा हिरवी होणार
मग पानापानात हिरवळ दाटणार
मग आपल्या मनाच पिवळ पान मोडून हिरव्यात शिरू पाहणार
पण त्याला ते नाही जमणार
मग त्याला एकदम खर काय ते कळणार
मग ते ओशाळणार
मग पुन्हा शरीराशी परत येणार
सरदी होऊ नये म्हणून देहाला वाफ घ्यायला सांगणार
चहाच्या पाण्यासाठी फ्रिजमध्ये कूडंमूडलेल आल शोधणार
एस . डी , च गाणही तोपर्यंत संपलेल असणार
रेडिओचा स्टॉक भरलेला असणार
मग तिच्या जागी ती असणार
मग माझ्या जागी मी असणार
कपातल वादळ गवती चहाच्या चवीने पोटात निपचीत झलेल असणार

पाऊस गेल्या वर्षी पडला
पाऊस यंदाही पडतो
पाऊस पुढल्या वर्षीही पडणार
काय रे देवा...

Mother...!!

Mother...!!      Mother's love is deeper than ocean,     Mother's lesson is bigger than the sky,

Satyamev Jayate

A Great Initiative By Aamir Khan and Satyamev Jayate Team - a Step Towards Reformation, Development and totally Eye-Opening Attempt. Hats Off to the entire Team of Satyamev Jayate - A Very Innovative, Touching programme.  

The 1st episode on Female Foeticide - Really shocking to learn the statics and that educated people have a major share in this shameful disgusting act. A Grand Salute to those ladies who suffered, took great pains, broke their relations with husband, but did give birth to girl child and prioritize the up-bringing of girl child. 

The Society needs Mother, needs Grandmother, needs Sister, needs Girlfriend, needs Wife but they do not need A GIRL CHILD!!! Unanswerable is that Mother-in-law who herself is a female, does not need a  grand daughter. WHY NO TO A GIRL CHILD??? Just because she has to get married and go to other's house, because she will not repay her parents. In today's days, many sons keep their parents in Old-Age Home and yet their are few Boy Child Lovers. Does such a son deserve to be their parents heir?? 

Most of the people are in deep sleep, majority have restricted themselves with their routines and hardly have time to do anything for the nation, for the Society today. Most of the people are living with masks on their faces, with their hearts dead and busy with their show-offs and are very much self-centered & self-concentric. As long as something is not actually going to effect someone, no one is ready to do anything and to add to it is the "Chalta Hai" attitude of today's days. 

The show has touched the hearts of people. Their are responses of appreciations, supports from all over for this show but how long are the people going to actually be active, how many times is an individual going to really take an initiative to stop a wrong doing of others who are strangers but are fellow countrymen? People need to wake up and come forward to stop the wrong happenings in the Society. People need to come out on streets for revolution - A mass movement is essential. Doing something to stop such deeds by each individual can only bring a major change in the society, as is said always बुंद बूँदसे सागर बने . But these efforts need to be continual. It is a tradition our Nation rises up very easily, gets impressed and motivated very fast but very conveniently forgets the issue, the pain, the wounds and gets back to their monotonous routine and finally we end up with blames on Government & Systems. Kindly do not interpret me for backing the Government. The need of the hour is an another fight for Independence - Freedom from our mis-beliefs, our wrong doings. It has to be a mass movement - A movement by citizens of India. People should bring in the change, not the Government.  Let us come together and force the Government to take action, to make laws and to ask courts to clear the cases. Jagoo India Jagoo!!!

Let We Re-Build A New India !!!

Jai Hind!! Satyamev Jayate!!! 

Lyrics of Satyamev Jayate - Aamir Khan's Love Song For Country

Tera rang aisa chadh gaya
Koi aur rang na chadh sake
Tera naam seeney pe likha
Har koi aake padh sake

Hai Junoon hai, Hai Junoon hai
Tere ishq ka yeh Junoon hai
rag rag mein ishq tera daudta
yeh bawra sa khoon hai
Tune hi sikhaya sachaiyon ka matlab
Tere pass aake jaana maine zindagi ka maqsad
Satyamev Satyamev Satyamev Jayate
Sacha hai pyaar mera
Satyamev Jayate
Satyamev Satyamev Satyamev Jayate

Tere noor ke dastoor mein
na ho salwatein na shikan rahe
meri koshishein toh hai bas yahin
rahein khushbooein gulshan rahein

Teri zulf suljhane chala
Tere aur paas aane chala
Jahan koi sur na ho besura
Woh geet main gaane chala

Hai Junoon hai, Hai Junoon hai
Tere ishq ka ye Junoon hai
rag rag mein ishq tera daudta
yeh bawra sa khoon hai

Tune hi sikhaya Sachaiyon ka matlab
Tere pass aake jaana maine zindagi ka maqsad
Satyamev Satyamev Satyamev Jayate
Sachcha hai pyaar mera
Satyamev Jayate
Satyamev Satyamev Satyamev Jayate

Tera rang aisa chad gaya
Tha nasha jo aur bhi badh gaya
Teri baarishon ka Karam hai yeh
Mein nikhar gaya main sawar gaya

Jaisa bhi hoon apna mujhe
Mujhe ye nahin hai bolna
Kabil tere mein ban sakoon
Mujhe dwar aisa kholna

Sanson ki iss raftaar ko
Dhadkan ke iss tyohaar ko
Har jeet ko, har haar ko
Khud apne iss sansaar ko
Badloonga mein tere liye

Hai Junoon hai, Hai Junoon hai
Tere ishq ka ye Junoon hai
rag rag mein ishq tera daudta
yeh bawra sa khoon hai
Satyamev Satyamev Satyamev Jayate
sachcha hai pyaar mera
Satyamev Jayate
Satyamev Satyamev Satyamev Jayate

Mujhe khud ko bhi hai Tatolna 
Kahin hai kami to hai bolna
Kahin daag hain toh chupayein kyon
Hum sach se nazrein hatayein kyon
Khud ko badalna hai agar
Badloonga main tere liye
Sholon pe chalna hai agar
Chal doonga mein tere liye

Mere khoon ki har boond mein
Sankalp ho tere pyaar ka
Kaato mujhe toh tu bahe
Ho surkh rang har dhar ka

Hai Junoon hai, Hai Junoon hai
Tere ishq ka ye Junoon hai
rag rag mein ishq tera daudta
yeh bawra sa khoon hai
Satyamev Satyamev Satyamev Jayate
Sachcha hai pyaar mera

TRUE INSPIRING STORY..

WHEN A LIZARD CAN, WHY CAN'T WE?....

This is a true story that happened in Japan. 

In order to renovate the house, someone in Japan breaks open the wall. Japanese houses normally have a hollow space between the wooden walls. 

When tearing down the walls, he found that there was a lizard stuck there because a nail from outside hammered into one of its feet. He sees this, feels pity, and at the same time curious, as when he checked the nail, it was nailed 5 years ago when the house was first built!!! 

What happened? 

The lizard has survived in such position for 5 years! In a dark wall partition for 5 years without moving, It is impossible and mind-boggling. 

Then he wondered how this lizard survived for 5 years! 

Without moving a single step--since its foot was nailed! 

So he stopped his work and observed the lizard, What it has been doing, and what and how it has been eating. 

Illusions...

Can You Pick Out the Tallest Soldier?

Did You Find Him?
Humm...
They Are All the Same Height!



How many legs does this elephant have?

4, 5, 6, maybe 7?

खडक

हा खडक काही केल्या पाझरत नाही
मी याला पहाटे गोंजारले आहे,
संध्याकाळी मावळत्या सूर्याच्या पश्विम रंगांची भूल देऊन पाहिली आहे,
रात्री माळरानावर नाचणार्‍या पौर्णिमेच्या चांदण्यांची शाल पांघरली आहे,
पण हा खडक काही केल्या पाझरत नाही.
उन्हाळ्यात हा तापतो,
थंडीमध्ये हा अगदी स्वभावगार,
पावसाळ्यात हा अगदीच इलाज नाही म्हणून
किंवा अगदीच वाईट दिसेल म्हणून
हिरव्या शेवाळ्याची किंचितशी शोभा वस्त्रे बाहेर बाहेर मिरवत बसतो
पण आत्ता हा खडक काही केल्या पाझरत नाही.
आता आता अजूनही मी या माळरानावर भटकायला येतो,
पण माझ्या सार्‍या गुराखी मित्रांबरोबर न रहाता
मोठ्या आशेने याच्या शेजारी येऊन बसतो
की.. हा खडक कधीतरी पाझरेल तेव्हा आपण तिथे असायला हवं.
मी माझी गाणी आवरून धरली आहेत;
मी आता पावाही वाजवत नाही;
किंवा पावलांनाही आता आतूनंच नाचावसं वाटत नाही;
या सार्‍यांच्यापार मला या खडकाविषयी उत्सुकता वाटू लागली आहे.
खडकाला माझ्याविषयी असे काहीच वाटत नाही
हे ज्या क्षणी लक्षात आले
तेव्हापासून मी असण्यापेक्षा खडक असणेच जास्तं चांगले असे वाटू लागले आहे.
मी खडक असतो तर मलाही असं
माझ्याविषयी उत्सुकता वाटणारा,
मी आतून पाझरायला हवे असे वाटणारा
कोणी "मी" भेटेल ?
माझे प्रश्न, वर निळे आकाश, खाली हिरवे गवत,
त्या गवतावरती मी, माझ्या शेजारी हा खडक.
हा खडक काही केल्या पाझरत नाही.
हे सारे कित्येक दिवस चालू आहे.
आयुष्यभर पुरेल असे एखादे कोडे मिळणे
हेही असू शकते आयुष्याचे सार्थक.
मला माझ्या आयुष्याचे सार्थक मिळाले आहे;
मला माझ्या आयुष्याचे प्रश्न समजले आहेत.
उत्तर नसलेल्या प्रश्नावर नजर रोखून त्राटक करताना...
आता आता जाणवत नाहीसे झाले आहे -
वारा, ऊन, थंडी, पाऊस;
भुलवत नाहीसे झाले आहे -
छंद, इच्छा, अपेक्षा, ओस;
खडक झाल्यासारखे वाटत आहे.

How True!!!

Take Time.......

Take time to laugh
It is the music of the soul.

Take time to think
It is the source of power.

Take time to play
It is the source of perpetual youth.

Take time to read
It is the fountain of wisdom.

Take time to pray
It is the greatest power on earth.

Take time to love and be loved
It is a God-given privilege.

Take time to be friendly
It is the road to happiness

Take time to give
It is too short a day to be selfish

Take time to work
It is the price of success.

तरीही जगणं आहेच... (Tarihi Jagne Aahech)

डोळ्यात समुद्र दाटलेला,
आजूबाजूला विहीरी आटलेल्या
हाती फक्त प्रतिक्षा,तरीही जगणे आहेच..

शेतात नाही पीक
शाश्वत फक्त भूक
तरीही जगणं आहेच

कधी जातात औषधाविना,
तर कधी चुकीच्या औषधामुळे,
घराघरातील कोवळी मुलं
तरीही जगणं आहेच.....

गरीबाई, महागाई, भ्रष्टाचार,
यामुळे खचले फार
झालो जरी उदास फार
तरीही जगणं आहेच

माणूस करतोय माणुसकीवर वार
सैतान झालाय मनावर स्वार
आणि नाती म्हणजे निव्वळ व्यवहार,
तरीही जगणं आहेच

जगणं झालं महाग
मरण जरी स्वस्त,
हे जरी असलं सत्य
तरीही जगणं आहेच,
तरीही जगणं आहेच...........

It Takes Courage

It takes strength to be firm,

It takes courage to be gentle.



It takes strength to conquer,

It takes courage to surrender.



It takes strength to be certain,

It takes courage to have doubt.



It takes strength to fit in,

It takes courage to stand out.



It takes strength to feel a friend's pain,

It takes courage to feel your own pain.



It takes strength to endure abuse,

It takes courage to stop it.



It takes strength to stand alone,

It takes courage to lean on another.



It takes strength to love,

It takes courage to be loved.



It takes strength to survive,

It takes courage to live.

એને ખબર નથી કે નદીનું ઉધાર છે. 

GOING BEYOND THE LAW OF ATTRACTION

Our mind is in a constant dialogue with itself, sending out messages that will create our living experience according to our present perceptions. This mental chatter is our consciousness deciding whether or not we should have this or that, whether to run to or from, whether to think this or that, and what we are going to do next.

Our brain is incessantly working, the complex organic electric signals generated by our inner self, even when we are dreaming. What we perceive now as true and good for us, is instantly converted into a powerful energy. This force will support all actions, people and experiences, for what we think, at this very moment in time, are our personal needs or desires. And le voilà, we sent out our message into the cosmos. These thoughts are a powerful energy that will seek out and connect us with a similar, complementary twin force. This is what we call The Law of Attraction.

Did you ever stop to think about all the people, incidents and experiences that have come into your life? People come into your life for "a reason, a season and a lifetime", says the old prayer. But, why? This doesn't happen by sheer coincidence. In this instance, you have to look beyond the Law of Attraction for the reason. Someone is in your life because you have expressed, either consciously or subconsciously to yourself, a need or a wish.

कणा

‘ओळखलत क सर माला?’ पावसात आला कोणी, कपडे होते कर्दमलेले, केसांवरती पाणी. क्षणभर बसला नंतर हसला बोलला वरती पाहून, ‘गंगामाई पाहुणी आली, गेली घरट्यात राहुन’. माहेरवाशिणीसारखी चार भिंतीत नाचली, मोकळ्या हाती जाईल कशी, बायको मात्र वाचली. भिंत खचली, चूल विझली, होते नव्हते नेले, प्रसाद म्हणून पापण्यांवरती पाणी थोडे ठेवले. खिशाकडे हात जाताच हसत हसत उठला ‘पैसे नकोत सर’, जरा एकटेपणा वाटला. कारभारणीला घेउन संगे सर आता लढतो आहे पडकी भिंत बांधतो आहे, चिख्लगाळ काढतो आहे , मोडून पडला संसार तरी मोडला नाही कणा पाठीवरती हात ठेउन, तुम्ही फक्‍त लढ म्हणा !                                                                             - कुसुमाग्रज

7 Brilliant Quotes

Received A Nice E-mail Worth Remembering & Following :

Life's "Living" Moments

How many "living" moments did you experience today, in the last one-week or one month? Can't remember! True because most of us are so busy trying to live life that what we are actually doing is not living but trying to catch up. Because we are conditioned to believe that if we catch up now, we can live later. Alas, not to be.

Step back, sit down , take a deep breath. The world is still going on as usual. Nothing changed because you took a breather. When did you last take time to smell a flower, walk barefoot on dewy grass, enjoy a baby's gurgle or just plain enjoyed the aroma and flavour of your coffee? I hear you saying, "Gee, I don't remember".

Life is fast paced and never ending. It's a list of to do things, which begins and never end. There is no recipe for being a perfect daughter or son or parent or partner. These roles have evolved over ages and still will evolve. What the world needs is more love, more care, more safety and above all, more loving people around .God may be busy at times but He has so thoughtfully made You and Me to be his messengers of love, peace and care.

So whenever you can smile at someone who least expects it. Give your kid an unexpected hug, hold your partner's hand, call your parents, send someone a nice message. Go ahead, do this and many such small gestures. You can be rest assured that you have planted a smile on someone's soul.

Go, start counting your tender moments. Trust me, soon you will have many!

---- By Annie Abraham

Think Different........ Interesting

Question :

What will you do if I run away with your sister ?"

The candidate who was selected answered "I will not get a better match for my sister than you sir"


Question :

Interviewer (to a student girl candidate) - What if one morning you woke up & found that you are pregnant ?

- I will be very excited and take an off, to celebrate with my husband.

Normally an unmarried girl will be shocked to hear this, but she managed it well. Why I should think it in the wrong way, she said later when asked

Question :

Interviewer: He ordered a cup of coffee for the candidate. Coffee arrived & kept before the candidate, then he asked what is before you?

Candidate: Instantly replied "Tea" and got selected.

You know how and why did he say "TEA" when he knows very well that coffee was kept before.

(Answer: The question was "What is before you (U -alphabet). Reply was "TEA" (T - alphabet), Alphabet "T" was
before Alphabet "U").

Question :

The interviewer asked to the candidate "This is your last question of the interview. Please tell me the exact position
of the center of this table where u have kept your files."

Candidate confidently put one of his finger at some point at the table and told that this was the central point at the table.

Interviewer asked "how did u get to know that this being the central point of this table", then he answers quickly that "sir u r not likely to ask any more question, as it was the last question that u promised to ask"....

And hence, he was selected as because of his presence of mind.
