Independence Day.... NOSTALGIA!



15th August, Independence Day of India, it's a just Nostalgia now. Just like a green valley in my childhood memory! On every pre Independence day evening little girls eagarly waited for their father on his return from office. Then he opened the iron trunk and kept out the tri color for his daughters. The littles were so happy to get the tri color in hands! On every Independence day these littles fled the tri color at their courtyard and sang Jana Gana Mana along with their parents. The young little girls even did not understand well the meaning of INDEPENDENCE those days!!
Likely the other pre independence evenings, that evening also the littles eagarly waited for their father. Father came from office but did not hand over the tri color to his daughters. Littles were still waiting to get their tri color from that locked iron trunk... at last they decided to remind their father about their tri color. But in reply what their father said, they didn't understand. Father told them "That Independence Day was boycotted"... the youngest one was too young to understand her father's word... BOYCOTT! She just asked her father "Are we Indians? Then who has told us not to fly our tri color at our courtyard? After all you said 15th August is a pride day for India!" Father just gave a look at her and kept his right hand on her head. The littles grew up but they couldn't fly anymore their tri color at courtyard again....!!
15 August's pride moments are in memory now. Still somehow some questions cometo my absent mind unknowingly about Independence Day....

STOP VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN!

Stop!!! Violence against women is a worldwide problem that affects women of all ages, ethnicities, races, nationalities and socio-economic backgrounds. Some forms of violence are gender-based and impact women more disproportionately, such as domestic violence, sexual assault, sexual harassment, human trafficking, child abusement and acid attack. Beside these, Indian society is facing two more major violences against women Girl child foeticide and dowry demands.  It is very shameful to say that this society is not safe for females even in this 21st century. Somewhere, little young girls are molested by some sick minded people; somewhere 80 years old lady has to be treated very badly; somewhere if a girl wants to protest against eve teasing she has to be a victim of acid attack. It is seen that some people being upset on the birth of a girl child in thei5r family and the same people look for little young girls to worship on the days of NAVRATRAs. Girl child foeticide, ...

My Friendship day with my Friends in Faridabad

Sunday, August 01, 2010 I met lot of girls in Faridabad but some of them kept an wide impact on me. They are – three kashimiri girls – Nilima, Priya and Rashi.  We used to call them together Mission Kashmir😊😁Mousumi, Neha and Deepti– 3 idiots!😎😎🤩 Last but not the least most important 2 genius – Gunjan and Tapasya. All of them had different natures but one thing was in common that they all were innocent and clear hearted. There liveliness and fun loving natures taught me to live my life with my present and not with my past. Once again I started to live a carefree life with full of confidence! Great!😎🤩 This is a story about when we all planned our first ‘Friendship day’ together except Gunjan. Mousumi, Deepti and Neha planned first how to enjoy the day. They suggested us to go the Badkal Lake – a tourist spot in Faridabad. Everyone liked their plan. We took permission from the head of our institute Mrs. Jain. Till then everything was going smoothly and all were ha...

Why Cann't We be Satisfy With Our Lives!

I visited a village in Arunachal Pradesh. A very remote area in Tawang District of Arunachal Pradesh. There was limited facilities in that area. There were no communication mediums, no market or shops, no transport, not enough education facility and not even medical facilities. People had to walk miles of mountain path to get there minimal needs. So there was less value of money; strangely we discovered exchange system!  'Strangely' I am using this word because I had never seen such exchange system before nor I have seen ever afterwards. There were very populations in that village. Education system was so poor that children even didn't know the name of their nation; not even name of their Chief Minister or the Prime Minister of their nation!! Obviously these information seemed useless for their lives. But I found that people didn't have any complain about their lifestyles or against the system. There were happy with what they were getting in lives. I was y...
