"I have traveled across the length and breadth of India and I have not seen one person who is a beggar ,who is a thief  such wealth I have seen in this country, such high moral values, people of such caliber, that I do not think we would ever conquer this country, unless we break the very backbone of this nation, which is her spiritual and cultural heritage and therefore, I propose that we replace her old and ancient education system, her culture; for if the Indians think that all that is foreign and English is good and greater than their own,they will lose their self esteem,their  native culture they will become what we want them, a truly dominated nation". 

Lord Macaulay's address to the British Parliament on 02 -12 -1835.

Now where are we ? What are we ? What happened to India's spiritual and cultural heritage !!!.

Thekkady Tragedy

Hope you heard about the tragedy in Thekay lake which took the
precious lives of 45 people including men ,women ,and children when the boat
of Kerala Tourism Development Corporation capsised at Thttekad .Usually
political parties and organisations make a hue and cry for the resignation
of the person on top. Here nothing happened .Sasi Taroor was asked to resign
for a "cattle class '"comment. Killing 45 innocents who came to see the God's own
country from various parts of India doesn't even call for resignation. Ha what a pity.
What happened to the consience of educated kerala and socio political leaders .
The Chairman of ktdc ,the former idealist, Mr. Cherian Philip is still clinging to the chair.
Shame !!! Is he so shameless ? Think he should take up the responsibility and resign.
But he won't because he is with Pinaray Vijayan now .

To me 2009 when began was a year of hope and change.

Seven months have passed.My hopes come true.The ordinary

Indians are in the path of changing the destiny of our nation.

They have begun to understand the maya's ,lalu's,mulayam's

Karat's and paswan's.A good start for our great country.Hope

they will recognise the karuna, jaya and vijaya also soon .

Actually there is no darkness. The sun is always emitting light.

We do not see due to the rotation of earth.Norway is an example.

On November 6th 1983 "The Illustrated Weeklyof India"published

a few poems of GITANJALI who was born in Meerut on 12th June 1961

and died of cancer in Bombay on 11th August 1977.

Let me reproduce one poem named " The Glory of The Sun "

"Every evening when

the day meets the dusk

I sit in my window

And watch the sinking sun

When the light fades away

Slowly and the hours

Grow quiet and lonely

My heart too sinks

Within my soul ( Lost last few lines)

Smile

I was away for a very long time now. During my
absence I have been reading and dreaming a lot.
I read
" Life is only travelled once
Today's moments are tomorrow's memory
Enjoy every moment, good or bad
Because the gift of life is life itself
Live well , laugh often
Love with all your heart.

Have you heard

Smile is a curve that can set
A lot of things straight.
A criminal is a guy no different from others,
unless he gets caught .
Compromise , is the art of dividing
a cake in such a way that everybody
believes he got the biggest piece .

INTUITION.

Hope you had intutions. I had a feeling that an old friend will come to see me.When this feeling comes true it is an intution.It is only a small example.

Intution is instinct. It is a feeling that comes from within.Intution is insight. It solves the problems without full data.It helps in decision making. Intution forms in our subconsious mind. We can call it the sixth sense.

I can hear the soft song of the sea in the mild murmur of the west wind.

I can feel the warmth of the shining stars above the blue sky and clouds.

AMAR JAWAN.

Do you believe in miracles? yes i do!! Have you ever been to Sikkim and to our border with China at Nathulla!! Then you may have heard about BABA MANDIR ' . The Spirit of an army personal is living in this temple.Indian Army  built this for  Harbhajan Singh of 23 Punjab Regiment.He was an ordinary soldier  who died in 1968 while guarding the Kupup post.Years after his death ,he appeared to an officer of his regiment in his dream and told him the exact location where his body was buried under the snow. Indian Army believe that Harbajan Sing's Spirit guards the Indian border from the spot. The army erected a memorial and  a mandir at the spot.The soldiers and local people began worshing him.It is believed that Harbhajan's spirit will appear in the  dreams of the soldiers of his regiment and tell them about the danger awaiting them three days in advance.

Though died in 1968, Harbhajan Singh was serving IndianArmy ,with due promotions these 36 years.When we visited Baba Mandir on 12th october 2004, he was captain and was on annual leave for two months and is expected to join duty on Nov.15th. His regiment brings his spirit to his native village,Kooka,in Kapurthala district, by army vehicle and train and back to Sikkim. A  soldier never  dies . He is immortal .  

                                      

                                                    AMAR  JAWAN.
