" Hume Jeene Do"

Musing # 32
I'm sipping the french wine in the famous Taj Hotel and something hits me.........................................,

I'm in the queue and worried about my reservation for my family in CST for the next month's train to Patna and something hits me........................................................................,

This is my first date and we are just canoodling in Marine drive and something hits both of us............................................,

Leopold cafe became so popular because of " Shanta ram " book and as a tribute to that time less land mark I was celebrating my birth day there with my friend and something hits me .........................................

For two months my husband had not taken me for movie and ultimately we went for a movie in Metro cinema and as we were coming out some thing hits my husband........................

All the people who were hit by the terrorist were killed in fraction of a second......... but the agony and grief for their loved ones is going to haunt them throughout their life....................
All these people and many more like Tyagis' Hemant Karkare, Ashok Kamte & Vijay Salaskar who sacrificed their lives to protect valuable human lives and also their country's honour will be in the news for a few days and later on every one will forget them, the media, the politicians and even the public.
This is what is called the typical "Condom Culture".
Our finance minister made a statement recently that our economy is insulated to all the disaster that the global market is besieged with.............. as a lay man I do not know what's the insulation used here, but as a true and honest citizens of this country our near and dear ones hoarse cry is,

"What's the insulation that is being provided to us from the rabid wild boars called terrorists.
We are least thrilled about crash landing a container of our national flag on the surface of moon thousands of miles away from us, spending a whooping sum of Rs. 385 crores of rupees. But, We will be thrilled to proudly hold our national flag and wave it year after year on Independence and Republic days if you can just ensure we are alive.
I hope you understand we are not asking for the moon..........................
Your promises of Roti, Kapada, Makhan, sadak, bijli aur pani can be taken as a joke but what one demand we want you to fulfill with all seriousness is
"Hume jeene do"

Un conditional love

Hi,

Musing#31

Love is the axis of life. With love the life goes on, and with out love the life comes to stand still. This is the reason, may be people go to the extreme, even giving up their life just because they failed to get their love solemnised. But are they doing the right thing?

A girl today threw herself in front of a train and lost her life just because she was scared that her love for someone outside her community is going to be the cause for her ostracization outside her community and may result in the loss of her family's reputation.

It's very saddening to read such news items in the paper day in and day out. If you can have the courage to fall in love, why don't you have the courage to fight against all the odds and get your love solemnised in the right royal way. May be this is the reason it is always said that you FALL in love. All FALL in love in their life, some time or the other but only a few rise in their love by overcoming all obstacles and objections and get their love fructified. What's called for ,is the moral courage to convince oneself and also convince all others that you have made a choice and that it is going to stay that way irrespective of other's opinions and views.

Loss of life is sad............. and more so if it is young lives............ and worst if the loss is self inflicted.

Young people take away their own life just because they feel,

that they have failed in their exams,

that they have failed in their love life,

that they are not happy with their life,(personal/professional)

But when old people also take their own life (due to neglect and despondency) as it's hap penning now then the only conclusion is that humanity is decaying and the stink is going to get only worst.

When the hopes of young are asphyxiated and the patience of old are stretched to beyond repair,let's intervene and oxygenate the hopes of the young and reward the patience of the old, with the only remedy that is UNCONDITIONAL LOVE.

It's easier said than done or practiced. To simplify let's choose one young and one old person for ourselves on whom we will shower that UNCONDITIONAL LOVE and be the cause for happiness in their life.
