गाँधी जयंती

-

आँखों पर चश्मा, हाथ में लाठी और चेहरे पर मुस्कान, दिल में था उनके हिंदुस्तान। हमको सही मार्ग दिखाया, सत्य और अहिंसा का पाठ पढ़ाया। राष्ट्रपिता वे कहलाते थे, हमारे प्यारे बापू थे।

2 अक्टूबर एक खास दिन है, इसमें एक इतिहास छिपा है। इस दिन जन्मे थे गाँधी जी, हुआ दुनिया में अद्भुत प्रकाश। सीधा सादा वेश तुम्हारा नहीं कोई अभिमान, एक लाठी के दम पर तुमने भारत माँ को आज़ाद कराया, रखी देश की शान।

वे थे निस्वार्थ, शांत, निडर और निश्चिंत जीवन जीने वाले एक महान व्यक्ति, उच्च नैतिक मूल्यों और पारस्परिक कौशल की मिसाल। लोगों को सच्चाई, सत्याग्रह का कठिन मार्ग पढ़ने वाले, दुनिया भर में नागरिक अधिकारों और स्वतंत्रता के लिए भारत छोड़ो आंदोलन को बढ़ावा देने वाले । ईमानदार और सबके प्यारे, हमारे बापू मीत हमारे। 

सच्चाई का लेकर शस्त्र और अहिंसा का लेकर अस्त्र, लोगों के मन से अंधकार मिटाया,  बापू ने सबको यही सिखाया।

गांधीजी का चश्मा अद्भुत व निराला, देखा जिसने स्वतंत्र भारत का भविष्य उजियाला। गांधीजी के चश्मे ने देखी कई अनोखी बातें, नहीं भूल सकते इस दिन को, इसमें तिरंगे की शान हैं। इसमें तिरंगे की शान हैं।

You see failure, I see Awakener

Yes, you, I am talking to you. Don’t look at the back. Am I talking to the wooden walls? Why are you laughing? (Pause) Come tell us the joke, we’ll laugh too.  Any guesses, whom I am referring to? YES, it’s OUR TEACHERS or shall I say our AWAKENERS When I say the word teacher the first image that comes to our mind is homework, tests, high pitch sound and their standard jargons, like AM I MAKING SENSE is all they ask but the truth is that they don’t. "Give me a blue pen of any color". This is what happens when the Hindi teacher tries her hand at English. Do you think we are behind? We have our own bank of code words to lighten the serious school environment. And I am not going to open the pandora box right now? 😄 Well, jokes apart. Regardless of what we say and think about them, teachers play a pivotal role in our lives. They mould our personality, boost our morale, show us our real worth and support us through thick and thin. They are like a compass and activate the magnets ...

"It's time. I don't have enough left in the tank to do justice."

"We, politicians give all that we can for as long as we can and then its time and for me it's time. I don't have enough left in the tank to do justice", said Jacinda Arden in her resignation speech.  This announcement came after a series of personal and professional challenges and has had a major impact on New Zealand's political landscape. Arden has been a popular leader, and her resignation has left a void in the leadership of the country. Many have expressed sadness and disappointment, while others have praised her for her accomplishments during her tenure.  It is good to see how one of the world's most powerful working women chose her family over her country. Her baby will have her attendance as she would start her first day of school, but what about us, who held her as a rare example of true and ethical leadership. Her tenure as Prime Minister saw the country become a leader in progressive policies, including the legalization of same-sex marriage, carbon ...

Rishi Sunak lost, but his eyes are on the future

-
Indian-origin British politician and former chancellor Rishi Sunak lost the race to become the next prime minister of the United Kingdom. Sunak, who was dominating the race in the initial phase of campaigning lost out on his PM bid due to his waning support both inside and outside the Conservative Party. Liz Truss, the third woman to become the prime minister of Britain was elected after defeating Rishi Sunak with 81,326 votes to 60,399 among party members.  After the result was announced, Rishi Sunak referred the Conservatives as "one family" and gave a call to unite behind Liz Truss as "she leads the country through difficult times". He has now lost, but what could be the reason behind it? Was it because of his ethnicity and religion?  Maybe, but it wasn't the dominating, decisive factor for why he lost, but it may have added to everything else.  Britain as a country has changed phenomenally over the years. The days when Blacks and Asians were disparaged as ...
