When we make mistakes........


The day we open our eyes in our mum's lap till the end of our life we do mistakes.There's no single person in this whole world who is infallible.The one who says that i never commit mistakes is the person living in the hallucination of over confidence.Life is a moving phenomenon and mistakes,follies & flaws are like unseparable,in some form or the other they always coexist.A small baby never listens to what he is told about..but for instance,when he goes and himself touch the hot utensil and hurt himself gets to realize that mom was right.Take another very small example,a student solving maths problem..he keeps on doing it until he ultimately solves it and yes,he eventually solves it because he learned from all the mistakes he did in solving previous questions.


But yes,there's one more logic attached to this idea which says that 'one must learn from mistakes'.If u make mistakes and readily learn from them and rectify your ways u r genius but if you are ignoring them and doing the same again there's not a bigger fool than you.I read somewhere,"FALLING DOWN DOESN'T MATTER BUT STAYING DOWN DOES".

When i am discussing this topic there's another point coming to my mind,i think there's a thin line between making mistakes and making mistakes in a way that you are not aware of it knowingly or unknowingly.The person who is unable to realize about what he is doing or what he is not doing,i would only say that he's bluffing his conscience.There are sometimes circumstances in life that we fail to understand of what actually we are doing,these situations can be trauma,depression,jolted by any incidence of life or anything else which makes us inadvertent of our actions.

Lastly,this is no unknown fact but still i have to say that.."LIFE IS A JOURNEY,WE HAVE TO LEAD THIS JOURNEY ON OUR OWN,BUT IT CAN BE BEST LED IF WE REALIZE AND LEARN FROM OUR MISTAKES AND ONCE AGAIN STAND IN THE CROWD YET MAKING OURSELVES DIFFERENT,EVEN IF WE DON'T GET ANYTHING ELSE WE GET THE GREATEST POTION OF LIFE,'FREED CONSCIENCE' ".....



HAVE A GOOD DAY...!!!!!!!!!!!

Why in a haste to sack Modi...???


There are no two ways about the idea that Lalit Modi is the genius behind Indian Premier League (IPL).He took the Indian cricket to a level which was not even imagined by anyone.
His efforts has brought treat for the young players who are not only showing their talent to the best but also playing in big money.Thus,he gave rise to cricket intertwined with money and entertainment.But the recent scandal has become so dirty and messy that it is fading the repute of IPL and Modi too.The intrusion of political play in the cricket has now worsen the situation.
Some political parties are in a haste to sack and castigate Modi but how can a person be sacked without having all the versions of the story proved.Investigations are going on and until anything comes clean ,Modi should not be made to leave his post,in my opinion.Political parties must not make things 'fussy' but let the respective departments do the suitable probing and then make a verdict that what eventually needs to be done.
But another side of the story is that if the allegations come out as true then will it affect the audience's love and craze for the IPL..?.
Whether Modi or someone else,but the fact remains that without being in a haste,decision must be taken only after the right probing.
I am not in support or against Modi until anything comes in true light.But still have an applaud for Lalit Modi for giving India an idea of fresh and rejuvented cricket and his efforts to take it to the apex of success.


good night..!!!!!

My Mom...epitome of selfless love , sacrifice and generousity.....


This blog is a small dedication to my mom.I have endless words for her to say,i can talk about her unstoppably,and i can write about her without giving a stop.Like every child i too think that my mom is the world's best mom and indeed she is.When i think about the sacrifices she has done all through her life for us i get goosebumps.Doing those sacrifices is a different part,it is even unimaginable for me that how can a person be so selfless,so sacrificing that she forgot herself.She forgot herself as an individual just because she wanted her children to be educated,dignified and recognized individuals.

The day she became mother she forgot how to pray for herself to GOD.Whenever she is praying she is only asking from the almighty to bless her children and give all their pains to her.I don't remember a single day of my life when i came home back from school and my mother was not there,before my coming back food was ready to serve and i found her standing at the door with a glass of water.I can't recall a day when she left me alone and went somewhere.I have seen her saving money for us so that there is never any shortage of money for our fulfillment of demands and educational needs.I have seen those wet pillows after crying and not telling us the problems she is facing and when asked about the pillow..a very frequent reply'nothing water fell on the pillow'. She swallowed all the pain,i saw her going through intense pain but still she's wearing a smile on her face just because she don't want her children to get worried and divert their attention from studies.I have seen her crying alone in a room remembering my father who was living abroad to earn money and persuading us that 'beta why are you worrying.he'll come back soon' and herself enduring the pain of being away from my father,such the stoic personality she is.Her sacrifices are innumerable and incomparable,if i get to match up even a bit of her i will consider myself the most fortunate person in this world.

How can i see tears in the eyes of a mother who has bestowed on us everything she had..her love,energy,blessings and what not.We cannot even imagine the pain a mother feels at the time when she gives birth to a child.Then how can we take our mother for granted,how can we let tears to flow from her eyes.

When we become something in life,how easily do we forget all the sufferings of our mother.We think that we have got all the success on our own and there was no one who supported us to reach the peak of this success.We forget that today whatever we are getting either the respect and acceptability in society or the big money we are earning its all just because of one person.."mother".

At the final stage when she has done everything possible for her child,what she's getting.. nothing,she remains empty handed.Her children whom she considered them her life don't even bother to ask about her requirements,her needs and at last once again she has got nothing but to suffer.

Guys..even if we kill ourselves then also we cannot compare the sacrifices of a mother.Remember if now we'll make our parents suffer our children will do the same to us.As the hindi adage says,'jaisa bowgey waisa kaatogey'.

I request to who all are reading this blog to take care of their mom and to never take her for granted because they expect nothing but only love and support from their children.Always thank GOD that he has blessed us with wonderful parents.

Take care of their needs......

I cannot write more than this....i m choked...!!!!!!!


good day..!!!

Past.......................

I have a past,u have a past and we all have pasts.We experience in our lives some bad,very bad and good or very good memories but past is not always haunting.There are also some beautiful memories that we have treasured in our minds.Then why we always intimidate ourselves by repeatedly thinking about the worst things which happened in our life.why....is the question comes in my mind.May be because force of negativity is more influencive than force of positivity,no...no..not possible,how can the negative vibes ever overpower the positive ones.One day lying on my bed i went into a deep thought and came to a conclusion that 'its just in our minds'..!!.Its our choice whether to frighten ourselves by lingering upon awful face of past or to get ourselves charged up by reminiscising the time when everything was peaceful,vibrant and happy.
One needs a very strong desire and will power to come out of the past which is etched by some indelible images of gloom and murk.However,nothing is impossible,we talk of winning this world cant we winover our pasts??..yes ofcourse we can...!!!!!!
while writing this blog tears are flowing from my eyes because i too had some bad times in past.There's nothing new i m writing ,many of you may say that we've listened all this many a times but have we actually realised that are we coping our pasts? or even if we are,then are we doing it the right way..??.We become emotional depressed,our brain stops working and we act like paranoids recalling our past,but do we ever try to think upon that what are we getting by all this,nothing..but ruination of our physical,social and mental health .
I have no special mantras to get rid of worse memories but all we can do is to persuade and motivate ourselves by saying,'whatever has happened cannot change,we cannot undo things'.Now it depends on us whether to weep and bring our life to a standstill or to move on by giving a damn to bitter phase of life.
Forgetting past is difficult but not impossible but if we treasure the beautiful past it can help us to 'move on'.Ending the blog.i would say 'shed off the gloomy past and remember the delightful past to give you strength in the present to lead the journey of life'.

Thanks for reading.....


After reading my blog do tell me how are you trying to deal with your past..???

Good night..!!

Sufi music moves my soul...!!!!

I dont have much knowledge of music neither i can sing well nor i m aware of technicalities of music.But when it comes to sufi music it drives me somewhere in the other world...world of mysticism..the world of soul and deep feelings.Its lyrics convey the utmost love and the bond between the two souls.Most of the romantic songs also convey the same but sufi music evokes it in a different essence and it is this essence which makes me fond of this genre of music.
If we originally have to define sufi,it was used to sung by the trained qawwals or musicians to evoke divine ecstasy.The sufis remembered GOD either by reciting the 'zikr'(the divine names) or evoking HIS presence through 'sama'(literally,audition)or performance of mystical music.This era of sufi music began from the late twelfth century by the group of sufis who migrated to India,amongst them chistis were the most influential.In more simplified words it was a form of devotional tradition at that time.Then it was a medium of expressing intense devotion and love for GOD.It used to signify 'a spiritual connection' between God and HIS devotees.
Today also, the real flavour of sufi music has not reduced but it has taken a different connotation.However,today the sufi songs represents more of a romantic connection between two people ,union of two human souls rather than a pious relation with GOD.But still not yet sufi music has not much deviated from its original form.
I m a big follower of some of the singers who have sung some of the great sufi songs.I have a feeling of gratitude for them for keeping the sufi music still alive in the hearts of people.Nusrat fateh ali khan sahab,Rahat fateh ali khan and renowned pakistani singer Abida parveen are some of the singers whom i admire a lot.No doubts, it is because of my love for sufi music that i got imbued with the sense to understand the pure and pious love whether between two people or spiritualism pertaining to GOD.In the last i would leave you all with the beautiful sufi song.....
O Laal Meri Pat Rakhiyo Bala Jhoole Laalan
Sindri Da Sehvan Da Sakhi Shabaaz Qalandar
Shahbaz Qalandar, Sakhi Shahbaz Qalandar
Duma Dum Mast Kalandar, Duma Dum Mast Kalandar
Ali Dum Dum De Andar, Ali Dum Dum De Andar
O Laal Meri Pat Rakhiyo Bala Jhoole Laalan
Sindri Da Sehvan Da Sakhi Shabaaz Qalandar

Chaar Charaag Tere Baran Hamesha
Panjwa Baaran Aayi Bala Jhoole Laalan
O Panjwa Mein Baaran Aayi Bala Jhoole Laalan
Sindri Da, Sehvan Da Sakhi Shabaaz Kalandar
Shahbaz Qalandar, Sakhi Shahbaz Qalandar
Duma Dum Mast Kalandar, Duma Dum Mast Kalandar
Ali Dum Dum De Andar, Ali Dum Dum De Ander
O Laal Meri Pat Rakhiyo Bala Jhoole Laalan
Sindri Da Sehvan Da Sakhi Shabaaz Qalanda

Hollow oppositions to foreign universities bill.

For the very first time some education minister has come up with an innovative idea to bring about urgent and equity based reform in the field of education.A long neglected reform is facing opposition from the congress itself is a saddening part.When the gross enrollment ratio(GER) defined as the number of students enrolled in colleges and universities as a percent of the total college-age population is too short that we are in a acute need of colleges and universities.Granting entry to the foreign universities can help combat the shortages of higher education.
Quite often asserted argument is rooted in equity.It is being argued that bill would lead to reduced educational opportunities for the poor and the children of wealthy will only be able to gain access to foreign universities.But what is worth noticing is that the govt today offers loans to the students to study in any good institution they want and funding of scholarship to the students in domestic and foreign universities.So,we can say that it is only a 'pro-rich' bill.
Another objection raised is that only worst foreign universities will enter India,but who is going to notice the poor educational facilities and professor absenteeism in public universities.However bill gives UGC and its successor body full powers to deny a university if it finds the university standards not upto the mark.
There are many other flawed arguments against the bill.However,the reality is that it is imperative for India to increase its excellence and quality of higher education and this bill is a way to it.Bill's provision of same fee regulation applied to foreign universities as to the unaided private universities to the hiring faculty domestically,bill is a complete justice to students as well as the faculty. And,no doubt,scholars will be exposed to enlarged competition and availability of more potential faculty.
For all this to happen,govt must give space to kapil sibal to carry out reforms..

IPL ruining the real character of cricket..??..nah..i dont think so...!!!!

I would call ipl a complete transformation of Indian cricket,a revolution.Every change has to face an opposition.There are majority of people who are not aversed to this idea but still there's a small section of people who want to unduly create a 'hype'.
I don't see any problem in cricket mixed with entertainment-cricketainment.what's the harm if the cheerleaders are boosting the morale of the cricketers whom they love and want to support.why are we in the habit of making mountain out of a molehill..? now its obviuos, that cheerleaders definately will not do their job in a salwar-kameez.
There's a 'celebrity factor' about ipl, people love to support the teams of their favourite stars.Audience love the entire format of watching cricket live in stadium with djs and performances of celebrities.
Ipl has given a way to new talent,and there's 'big money' involved which i don't think is a too big issue to be talked about.From bollywood stars to corporate sector everyone's earning money, then why make it a fuss when our cricketers earning..!
And last but the major factor..ipl has made cricket less time eating. In short,we can call it,"kam time mein total paisa wasool".It has also attracted that sect of people who earlier were not much fond of cricket.
At the end of the day, whatever it is, its all about the cricket.A good and exciting match is the source to entertainment.Ipl is a change,..a change which is positive and indeed hasn't ruined the real character of cricket but enhanced its appeal amongst the audience..!!!
Have a good day..!!
