विभिन्न प्रकार की प्रतियोगी परीक्षाओ में निकलने वाले अभ्यार्थी ये क्यों कहते हैं कि हमने ये दिशा इसलिए चुनी की हमें "देश सेवा " करनी थी , "गरीबो " की "मदद " करनी थी। ऐसा लगता है जैसे देश पर कोई एहसान कर रहे हों , जबकि देश और समाज के लिए काम करना सबका कर्त्तव्य है। समाज आगे बढ़ेगा तो आप भी आगे बढ़ेंगे। सेवा तब होती है जब आपको उसके बदले में कुछ नहीं मिलता (जबकि यहाँ आप एक निश्चित तनख्वाह पाते हैं ). आप गरीबो की "मदद " नहीं करते हैं , क्युकी मदद voluntary होती है पर ये आपके काम के दायरे में आता है और आपको इसी काम के लिए करदाताओं के दिए हुए कर में से वेतन दिया जाता है।
A place for recharging your souls, by inner motivation, positivity and blissful thoughts. आंतरिक प्रेरणा, सकारात्मकता और आनंदित विचारों द्वारा अपने अन्तर्मन को साहस और ऊर्जा देने के लिए एक जगह।

“अरे ! आपका योग , ध्यान इत्यादि में मन है ?? एक बार हमारे शिविर में आइये, आपको सही पद्यति हम सिखाएंगे”. पर मै खुद ही वो सब कर लेती हूँ और मुझसे अधिक आप मुझे कैसे जान सकते हैं . “आप हमारे यहाँ आइये एक बार और हमारे गुरूजी को सुनिए” . वो जो कहानिया सुनाएँगे वो मैंने किताबो में पहले ही पढ़ी हुई हैं . “ हमारे आश्रम में आप जैसे बहुत से युवा आते हैं और देखिये उनका कायापलट ही हो जाता है” . तो फिर आप जेलों में जा कर ये धर्मार्थ क्यों नहीं करते ?? “ देखिये बिना गुरु के आपको कोई ज्ञान नहीं मिल सकता .” मतलब आपके हिसाब से जिसने मुझे बनाया है उससे मेरी सीधी बात नहीं हो सकती . बिचोलिये की ज़रूरत है. मैंने तो सुना है गुरु ढूँढने से नहीं मिलते यहाँ तो ज़बरदस्ती मिल रहे हैं . और कृपया ये बता दीजिये की दुनिया के सबसे पहले ज्ञानवान व्यक्ति का गुरु कौन था ?? “आप ईश्वर को नहीं समझती हैं हम समझा सकते हैं , उससे जुड़ना ज़रूरी है “. जी धन्यवाद पर पहले मै खुद से जुड़ लूँ तब उसकी सोचूंगी . …….. मुसीबत ही मुसीबत है , हर जगह लालफीताशाही है और हर कोई ज्ञान बाटने में तुला है , वो भी बिना मांगे .

Multitasking or Confusion
Multitasking
is just an act of creating confusion . You have an unorganized life and
you create more confusion to it by taking many tasks together, not
experiencing the joy of accomplishing any single act, By pretending to
be everywhere though you are nowhere....Friday, 19 June 2015
नारी स्वतंत्रता या सामाजिक दोगलापन
पुरुष स्त्री की जिस उन्मुक्तता से आकर्षित हो उसके प्रेम में पड़ता है विवाह के बाद वही उसे खटकने लग जाती है। बल्कि ज़्यादातर मामलो में ऐसा प्रेम(या प्रेम जैसी लगने वाली चीज़ ) विवाह की वेदी तक नहीं पहुंच पाता और अगर पहुंच भी जाए तो एक पुरुष के मन की कंदराओं में बसी पितृसत्तात्मक सोच जाग जाती है को अपनी संपत्ति समझ उसकी उस अभिव्यक्ति को कैद कर लेना चाहता है। एक स्त्री की स्वतंत्र सोच को हमारा समाज कभी नहीं स्वीकार पाता और यह भी सच है कि पुरुष जिसकी इस आधुनिकता के दम उसे समाज द्वारा बनायी गई सीमाये लांगने पर उकसाता है , उसे कभी अपने घर की दहलीज़ के अंदर नहीं लाता। ये प्रेम युवावस्था में देह की हांडी पर पकने वाला हो तो प्रेम विवाह के कुछ समय बाद ही इसकी गर्मी ठंडी पड़ जाती है। क्युकी शादी के पहले और बाद में फर्क आना लाज़मी भी है। पहले पहल प्रेम में नींद नहीं आती और आखे उनींदी सी रहती हैं और बाद में काम की थकान में आखे खुलती ही नहीं। प्रेम एक बादलो की धुंध में वादियों की तलहटी से होती अलसभोर का सपना है और विवाह उस सपने से जागने के बाद की सच्चाई। .......

Censorship and Expression
In the era of identity based politics, and religious polarization, and the perpetual turf wars between successive governments, and censor board, is it not high time
to ask about the relevance of censorship over people’s entertainment.
Censorship is a relic of the days of the Raj when these boards were kept under
the Police Chiefs of cities (to keep an eye on the films propagating patriotic
messages.) Although the cinematographic acts have been revised from time to
time but still this institution did not all together go and a few
“intellectuals”, officials (or even sometimes people from the film industry)
continue to decide in closed rooms what is appropriate entertainment and what
not for the whole diverse nation. Is it possible that the intelligence of we
the masses be trusted sometimes and we may decide for ourselves as to what is
entertaining for us and what not. After all it has been regularly happening at
the box offices where the people decide the kind of films that they want to see
via the collections that movies generate.
If obscenity, portrayal of women and violence is the issue then the board has been ineffective in its role anyways. All it does is restriction of the creative freedom of film makers. Institutionalized suppression of a few issues(like expression of love, desires, individuality) through creative and proper means has actually given rise to more vulgarity in the form of various pornographic material (it is like how high taxation and duties pushes the trade of goods underground and generates black money via corruption)
The effect of improper material on the younger generation is always cited against such liberated and unrestricted expression, but shouldn't that control be societal and parental. And children already have access to all forms of material today (thanks to the internet). A significant issue is also the non availability of children’s movies and stories in the public domain except some symbolic gestures by Children Film Society (And we just don’t care when our children dance to the tunes of munni and Sheila)
We should always have the right and liberty to choose our means of entertainment. When we have the intellect to bring turmoil in the political system by our votes then we definitely can develop it further to choose the right kind of entertainment. Though there may be errors in the first place but any maturing society eventually develops an understanding of what to retain and what to discard for its growth and perpetuation.

Shiva and Detachment
During my
daily morning walks I stop at the Shiva temple on the way. Not to pray but to
say good morning to the lord just as I do to other people (he might be feeling
lonely in the temple). His face has a charm that it is difficult to remove my
eyes from it. Today a random thought came to my mind that time.
Shiva is
the symbolism of the destructive force of the universe. How beautifully the cosmic dance of
transformation (or destruction according to popular notion) is depicted in the
Hindu mythology.
Personification
of natural forces and the associated art of sculpturing developed so richly in
ancient India .
Everything symbolic has a great meaning attached to it.
Shiva is
the symbol of destruction or as I think, transformation, that is, intense activity.
But usually in the popular images or the ancient temple statues his face is
visualized as having an eternal serenity. He is the yogeshwar as well as the Nataraj.
His nature is so different from the
normal behavior that we tend to show in
our lives when there is work to do.
I often
wonder that it gives us the message that in our daily hectic schedules, tough
deadlines, commitments, social networks, aspirations, there is intense
activity. But that eternal serenity is lost many a times. While keeping a focus on all activities we
often forget to concentrate on that locus of inactivity. We tend to lose that
focal point which should be in a perpetual state of calm. That is in our
activities a balanced state is absent.
This focal
point or the balanced state helps us tide over all our external disturbances
and still maintain calm and efficiency. It helps us stay detached from our own
life sometimes to help us introspect and maintain an objective view of our
priorities and goals.
