Give me a way!!!


Yesterday, me and my friend, Rohit were chatting by SMS on the topic Janmashtmi (a Hindu festival celebrated for the occasion of birth of lord Krishna, came this year on 14 august). At that time, we decided to do something new… to chat in pure Hindi or Sanskrit words… (In contrast, we, the Indians, totally live on the language of HINGLISH; Hindi + English , so it's a big thing for us, i guess...) He is extremely talented and has a very good command over the language English and Hindi. And also, I was the good scorer in Hindi in my school days… so no many problems were aroused during the chatting. But yes, I had the problems while thinking of the words. Even I don’t get the meaning of most of the words correctly he is using… What we were doing (at least me) that as any new word stroke on our mind, we used in the lines in anyway without any purpose… for instance:

“दुर्जन शिष्ट बहिश्त के मध्य अपने निष्ट दुर्जन बनकर मेरी ४ वर्ष रूपी शेषशय्या को कष्ट कम दिया है, में क्रिथार्त हूँ…” (In the midst of evils, u support me in my 4 dreadful years, I m blessed...)... :)

“अपने क्या अपने हिन्दी भाषा में अपनी उपलब्धि को प्रर्दशित करने हेतु पूर्व संदेश भेजा है .ज्ञात होता है, अलंकृत शब्दों के प्रयोग से आप भलीभाति अभिभूत है एवं गहरा रुझान भी रखते है. जानकर प्रसन्नता हुई…” (Do you send your last message to show your achievement in pure Hindi language? Seems that, you are much aware with the language and even shows your interest. Good to know that.)... :)

It can easily be spoken in few easy Hindi words, but eagerness of using the new words is something else. Especially those, whose meanings are familiar, but hard to get at right time, as may be it present in our subconscious mind due to lack of using in our day-to-day life. We shared 22-25 SMS, a typical task and at last, it was all fun…

But now here, i divert to an another point. For any country, it is sad that their people do not feel pride to speak fluently their own national language. When normally anybody speaks, he creates the mess of Hindi and English... I am also the one and normally all in our country belong to same mass. We get habituated of it and even don’t want to get rid of it bcoz being a communicative language, English becomes a need.

But now, here I dare to compare ourselves with the Foreigners. In a meaningless surfing, I jump to some blogs of different people with different languages. Some made their full blog in Portuguese language, some in Japanese and some in others. It reflects their dedication towards their language… also shows full respect. I am overwhelmed…

I don’t know how I convince my people to respect our 'HINDI' and in what way but the fact is that one can respect others only if he respect himself (or his things)…Even I don’t know how I show my respect to my language. I am feeling loaded and don’t get any strong reason to stop these feelings. I am in pain…confused!!! So please help me! Kindly give me your precious suggestions …

Waiting for your comments….

Feels INDEPENDENCE In-DEpEndeNCe


INDEPENDENCEan archaic and quaint subject... May be it’s subjective but still need a thought to ponder…

As India’s Independence Day (and obviously, Pakistan's too...) is coming, I feel more than free. I am privileged to be born in free India. Being a citizen of India as well as a part of conscious youth, I believe that our responsibilities should be our habit. Any thing we did till yet do for some reason, either for a cause, or interest or future securities or whatever else, all coz of human selfish nature, and I don’t blame that, after all it’s a human err. No one is perfect and even not need to be. And definitely, independence is also a kind of selfishness. Remember ”jid karo, duniya badlo…” very meaningful slogan... Our youth is not even enthusiastic n daring but also intelligent enough to take their decision well and step forward against every evil. I salute their will.

But, deep in my heart, somewhere I always try to find out the real meaning of independence! Is it laid in freedom to do anything, whatever we want, or in something we actually do? Where is the foundation of independence lies? In what way, we actually see our freedom? Is it just limited to express ourselves freely or seeking for the goodness of our rights?

I am not talking here about the freedom, nationalism, sacrifices, discrimination and all, but try to figure out my thoughts on different perspective, based on understanding…

The lay of the land is that most of our youth take this freedom for granted, without knowing its true meaning. Many people say that they are not completely free as they are still bound in some relations, activities, duties and much more. They only protest for their demands, rights etc. I believe, freedom becomes more sterling by following the responsibilities too. Let’s make it more clearly by day-to-day instances…

1. Isn’t a child feels free when he is on his mother’s lap! He actually feels free even after dependent on his mother….

2. We listen in many new FM stations but would it replace the originality of AIR Rainbow? Even today, I prefer the later one... after all; the foundation of radio evolution is strongly laid upon the success of Rainbow channel (in India...)!!!

But most of our youngsters prevent themselves as they feel that responsibility is directly meant to dependence. Here, I contradict!!! We must anticipate with the fact that we actually learn the independence from the dependence. For instance, when a child learns to ride a bicycle, he needs some support in the beginning. But when he experiences his ability to ride freely, he became independent. But with now, he also needs to accustom with the responsibilities to ride his bicycle with care, on its own.

One more instance, right from the starting, our parents nourished us, feed us, and made us enable to stand on our own feet. But when we become free (in the sense that we can nourished ourselves), it is our responsibility to direct our mind and step in the right way to enjoy the real independence. By this way, we can think of the fact that, our independence is related somewhere on our dependent nature. And what’s wrong in that? After all, smallest actions are much better than the noblest intention.

So, the need of the hour is that it requires more and more awareness to enter the battle-arena of getting the independence by understanding our responsibilities too, but plz not on the namesake of nationality but on HUMANITY, COMPASSION, and LOVE to one another.

With all these things in mind, I think we should coin something new, instead of independence…

"INTER-DEPENDENCE…" WHAT SAY!!!

Let me present a toast and cheers to all for the CELEBRATION...

WISH U ALL A VERY HAPPY INTER-DEPENDENCE DAY
