India turns"60"

-
We are proud to bestow you with the honour of "senior citizenship". Believe me this is no "life time achievement award" because we know we need you till the world lasts. This is simply a token of our humble appreciation and expression of our deep sentiments to say that we "Love You" for your courage,determination and fighting spirit that has led us to become a true "indispensable" India in the "World Today"

We know we have still a long way to go to keep and sustain "spirit of unity in diversity". We know it will take us some more "light years" to realise that any kind of discrimination of human life will always remain our stumbling block in creating and retaining a true civilized society. We understand that we cannot afford to individually remain selfish in creating wealth for ourselves. We know if we continue this way, we will never be able to stop the 'invaders' from plundering the "wealth of our nation". We know you will never like us to "THANK YOU" to express our gratitude,for the pains,sufferings and turmoils that you endured in bringing us up.
We know as a "Mother" all that you will look forward from us is that "we continue to give our best to the society and always remain healthy & spirited to do more and achieve more, so that as a nation we are able to remain "ONE GREAT INDIA".

Trust me for all the citizens of this country,"INDIA" is not simply a peninsula stretching from "Kanyakumari" in SOUTH to "Kashmir" in NORTH & from "Rajasthan" in WEST to "West Bengal" in EAST. She is our "MOTHER" who keeps ever fighting the odds so that we are not only able to sustain our "humane" qualities but also remain a true "human being".

Incidentally many may be living today past their '60'. I wish they don't call it a day as long as they are able to "value add" to the society, so that the generation "NOW &NEXT" remains 'fine tuned' to meet the challenges of years ahead "Head-On". Growing up and graying is simply a life's journey that some are fortunate to continue without "abrupt breaks". All that matters in life is the "belief" that so long you are able to create a fine blend of "strength, confidence, ability, experience and wisdom" you are "worth" to remain "Heady" about "life and living".

By the way what a "perfect coincidence"! "no generation gap" when I turn 60, India
turns "60" too..!

    I was the youngest of the 4 siblings and the only son ,but that  never  made me precious and  pampered by the family. My father was in the army. We all  grew up in cantonment environment, hopping almost every 2 years  from one Cantonment to the other  Like from Allahabad’s Draupadi Ghat we came to Calcutta’s Fort William and  then to  Bangalore Cantonment  Bangalore was the only city where we  remained stationed for almost 5 years before getting  shifted to Delhi Cantonment in 1961, 4th of July to be precis It was the year 1959-60 and I was about 10 years old  studying in the 6th form in the Army’s  Regimental school . Around this time my  father decided to put me into “King George Military School” .This  was a ‘day’ Boarding School exclusively for Defence personnels . It is now called “Rashtriya Military School”.

DE LHI Gasping!!

Delhiites have turned   indifferent to the " Toxic Air" that they breath  They have stopped bothering about the "smoke screen " that is keeping away   "Sun light"  from giving them the ray of "HOPE"  to keep their lungs "Sun Shined" . Like "AGE"  for them now  even the  AQI (Air Quality Index) has become a sheer number .They have long since stopped reacting to the AQI  shooting up. They have lost their "JOSH"" to protest for their fundamental right to breath. Delhi is the very seat of the duly elected "POWER".  of  World's largest Democracy  The "custodian" of this Democracy reside here  at   "7 LOK KALYAN"  but remain hardly visible in and around the city This  "custodian"  continues to remain the very "Most"  'Frequent Flier' of our Democracy and  the only  'STAR '  campaigner for the political party that he comes from.    Getting re-elected...

The Blessed Curse "Nostalgic flashes" !

   When you already  know a little about the  book it does create an  interest “Blessed Curse” was just that.  This book is about an  Indian middle class household  that is holding together three generations in generous harmony with all those ifs and buts about the generation gaps  The book undoubtedly is  an inspirational read  especially at a  time when the concept of   “nuclear households", remains a widely spread idea among the Millennials  It recalibrates your mind to question , debate ,accept and  celebrate every generation’s point of view  This book is the story of Jagdamba Prasad & his wife Pushpa Devi living with their son, daughter in law and grandchildren in one of the colonies of East Delhi’. The author in this book takes the reader through good, bad and ugly about each generation. The beauty is, it does not come as a bout of episodes but as “cosy chats” between the members of the family...
