"CHAVANNI KA ITIHAAS"

             "CHAVANNI KA ITIHAAS"

Notice the degrading trends..With value of 1/4 rupee the aesthetics also been reduced during its journey

The road has finally come to an end for the humble 25 paise coin. The Reserve Bank of India is withdrawing from circulation coins of 25 paise and below from June 30, 2011. Coins of denomination of 25 paise and below will not be accepted for exchange at the bank branches from July 1, 2011 onwards. 

We trace the history of the 25 paise coin from the British era to contemporary India. 

 

The first of the quarter rupee coins were issued in India during the reign of William IV. The coins were made of silver.

The longest reigning monarch of the United Kingdom, Queen Victoria also held the title of the Empress of India. During her reign a number of quarter rupee coins were issued. Soon after her ascent to the throne, a silver quarter rupee coin was issued in India. The coins featured the bust of a young Queen Victoria. She was made the queen soon after her 18th birthday

 

The coins issued later in Queen Victoria's reign had a more mature looking bust of the queen. The one-fourth rupee coins were made of silver.

 

While Queen Victoria was adding to her years in real life, she also put in a bit of weight on the her image on the coins.

 

The new century also witnessed a change on the British monarchy. Following the death of his mother Queen Victoria, Edward VII was crowned as the King of the United Kingdom and also as the Emperor of India. All new coins issued during the time bore his name and face.

 

A new design of coins were introduced in 1919 that sought to replace the existing silver quarter rupee coins. The new equivalent of the quarter rupee coin was the 4 aana coin, that was made from cupro-nickel instead of silver. The rising silver prices following the First World War necessitated this change. These coins had the effigy of King George V.

 

:George V was crowned the King in 1910. He was also the first reigning British Monarch to tour India. The 4 aana coins introduced in 1919 didn't gain popularity and soon the quarter rupee coins had to be brought back

 

King George VI was the last of the British monarchs to rule over India. His predecessor Edward VIII abdicated the throne in order to marry divorced American socialite Wallis Simpson. There were no coins issued for Edward VIII. While coins of other denominations went for a design change, the quarter rupee coins continued, with only a new monarch replacing the old

 

Following the Independence of India the currency system continued with the British series of coins till the establishment of the Indian Republic. The first coins of independent India were introduced on August 15, 1950 and it included the quarter rupee coin made of nickel. The coins had the words 'char aana' embossed in Devnagri script and had the Ashoka Emblem on one side.

 

Another major landmark in the history of the 25 paise coin happened following the introduction of the decimal series in accordance with the Indian Coinage Act that came into force from April 1, 1957. The 19 mm 25 paise coins were called '25 naye paise'. The tern 'naye paise' was used for wider public recognition of the new coinage system and was discontinued from June 1, 1964 when the term 'naye' was dropped. The coins weighed 5 grams and were made of nickel.

 

By the late 1960s, Indians had become used to the new coinage system. The text 'rupaiye ka chautha bhag' (one fourth of a rupee) was also replaced by 25 paise. While other coins of lower denominations underwent a major change and moved to aluminium, the 25 paise coin didn't change much.

 

In 1988 the 25 paisa coin went steel and was made of ferratic stainless steel. It was a little heavier than its predecessor at 2.83 grams but was of the same size. The last 25 paise coins seen in popular circulation were minted in the year 2002. Late 1980s to the

 

In July 2010 the Government of India unveiled the new symbol for the Indian Rupee and designer D Udaya Kumar also designed a new symbol for the paise. But with the 25 paise going out of circulation we are unlikely to see the image above anywhere.

"Kya chvanni chhaap shabd ne unhe itna hila diya ki unhone 25 paise ya chavanni ka itihaas aur sab achhe vyaktitvon ki tarah mita diya?" Humn..? Unfortunately in our country-History is made n manipulated by those who kept burying all that comes into there way! Babji proposed remove Rs.1000 note they did it to 25p. We must make out-How efficient n active workers are they!!

Taste of good governance -Mr.Narendra Modi.

A Daughter, A Tree and A Teacher

by Narendra Modi 1. July 2011 10:15

I was delighted to learn that many of tweeeples liked my tweet regarding planting trees on birth of a daughter. Your interest in conserving ecology is welcome. Looking to your interest, I would like to share with you a tip to conserve our most precious resource viz. water while doing farming/gardening.

All you need to do is take an unglazed clay pot (matka) and place it underground, parallel to the roots of the plant or small trees. Fill it with water, cover it with the lid and cover the place. For about a week, you do not need to water the plant again. The pot will act as a natural drip irrigation vehicle. Please remember, you do not need to make holes in the matka. And if you wish to have a better result, then fill the pot with soiled water that is left out after washing of utensils. This method is already practised in some parts of Gujarat. Friends, such small acts can one day sum up into a great deed, if we make them a part of our various resolutions.

I am also reminded of another heart touching incident that someone narrated to me in his letter. This took place in a village somewhere in Veraval region of Saurashtra. He wrote about a unique experiment by a teacher of the school for growing trees. Since that it is a water scarce area, it was impossible to get water for trees. The teacher therefore asked the students to bring soiled water left out after washing of utensils at home. Each student would carry a bottle of soiled water from home daily. The students were then asked to water the plants with the soiled water. As days passed, the students and school officials had a lush green garden before themselves! Thus a teacher’s small initiative created a green island in a dry and barren area, that too with waste water. In the process, he also taught the kids to make friends with Mother Nature. I was quite touched with this; hope you too will.

Please share such tips and experiments for conserving ecology, let’s all do our bit.

मुझे जानकर आनंद हुआ कि बेटी के जन्म पर एक वृक्ष बोना चाहिए, मेरी यह ट्विट कई लोगों को पसन्द आई। पर्यावरण की रक्षा के लिए उनमें दिलचस्पी है, यह बात सराहनीय है। आपको इस बात में दिलचस्पी है तो चलिए मैं आपको बागवानी या खेती करते समय पानी की बचत करने के बारे में एक बढि़या टिप देता हूं।

ग्लेज किए बिना का एक मटका लीजिए। इसमें पानी भरकर ढंक दीजिए और इसे वृक्ष की जड़ के पास जमीन के भीतर रख दीजिए। एकाध सप्ताह तक आपको पौधे में पानी डालने की आवश्यकता नहीं रहेगी। मटका टपक सिंचाई के एक साधन के रूप में काम करेगा।

याद रखिए, आपको मटके में छेद करने की आवश्यकता नहीं है, और इससे ज्यादा अच्छा परिणाम हासिल करना हो तो मिट्टी से बर्तन मांजने के बाद जो पानी बचा हो उसे मटके में भर दो। इस पद्घति का उपयोग गुजरात के कई भागों में होता है। अगर हम संकल्प करें तो इतना छोटा काम भी बड़ा परिणाम दे सकता है।

मुझे एक दूसरा हृदयस्पर्शी मौका याद आता है। किसी ने मुझे एक बार पत्र लिखकर यह घटना बतलाई थी। घटना है सौराष्ट्र के वेरावल के नजदीक के एक गांव की। गांव की एक शाला के शिक्षक और विद्यार्थियों के द्वारा वृक्ष बोने के लिए एक अनोखा प्रयोग किया गया। क्षेत्र में पानी की कमी थी इसलिए वहां वृक्षों के लिए पानी हासिल करना भी एक समस्या था। इसलिए शिक्षक ने विद्यार्थियों से कहा कि उनकी माता मिट्टी से बर्तन मांज ले, उसके बाद वह मिट्टी वाला पानी बोतल में भरकर ले आएं।

प्रत्येक विद्यार्थी रोजाना मिट्टी वाला पानी बोतल में घर से भर कर लाता । शिक्षक ने विद्यार्थियों को यह पानी वृक्षों को पिलाने के लिए कहा। दिन बीतते गए और शाला के सामने एक हरा-भरा बगीचा तैयार हो गया। एक शिक्षक के छोटे से प्रयोग ने अनुपयोगी पानी के उपयोग से सूखे क्षेत्र में हरियाली बिखेर दी। और तो और इस प्रयोग के माध्यम से शिक्षक ने विद्यार्थियों को प्रकृति माता के साथ मित्रता करना भी सिखा दिया। मुझे इस घटना ने छू लिया। आशा है कि आपको भी छुएगी।

पर्यावरण की रक्षा के लिए इस प्रकार की टिप्स और प्रयोगों की जानकारी एक दुसरे को देते रहिये।चलिए, हम सभी पर्यावरण की सुरक्षा में अपना योगदान दें।

મને જાણીને આનંદ થયો કે દિકરીનાં જનમ પર એક વૃક્ષ વાવવું જોઈએ એવી મારી ટ્વીટ ઘણા લોકોને પસંદ પડી. પર્યાવરણની રક્ષા માટે તમને રસ પડે છે એ વાત સરાહનીય છે. તમને આ બાબતમાં રસ પડે છે તો ચાલો હું તમને બાગકામ કે ખેતકામ કરતી વખતે પાણીની બચત કેવી રીતે થઈ શકે તે અંગેની એક સરસ ટીપ આપું.

ગ્લેઝ કર્યા વિનાનું એક માટલું લો, તેમાં પાણી ભરીને ઢાંકી દઈને તેને વૃક્ષ કે છોડનાં મૂળિયા પાસે જમીનની અંદર મૂકી દો. એકાદ અઠવાડિયા સુધી તમારે છોડને પાણી પાવાની જરૂર નહિ રહે. માટલું ટપક સિંચાઈનાં એક સાધન તરીકે કામ કરશે. યાદ રાખો, તમારે માટલામાં કાણા પાડવાની જરૂર નથી. અને હજી વધારે સારું પરિણામ મેળવવું હોય તો માટીથી વાસણ ઘસ્યા બાદ જે પાણી વધ્યું હોય તે પાણી માટલામાં ભરી દો. આ પધ્ધતિનો ઉપયોગ ગુજરાતનાં ઘણા ભાગોમાં થાય છે. જો આપણે સંકલ્પ કરીએ તો આટલું નાનું કામ ઘણું મોટું પરિણામ આપી જાય છે.

મને એક બીજો હ્રદયસ્પર્શી પ્રસંગ યાદ આવે છે. કોઈકે એકવાર મને પત્ર લખીને આ પ્રસંગ જણાવ્યો હતો. પ્રસંગ છે સૌરાષ્ટ્રનાં વેરાવળ નજીકનાં એક ગામનો. ગામની એક શાળાનાં શિક્ષક અને વિદ્યાર્થીઓ દ્વારા વૃક્ષો વાવવા માટે એક અનોખો પ્રયોગ કરવામાં આવ્યો હતો. વિસ્તારમાં પાણીની અછત હતી એટલે ત્યાં વૃક્ષો માટે પાણી મેળવવાનો પ્રશ્ન હતો. એટલે શિક્ષકે વિદ્યાર્થીઓને તેમની માતા માટીથી વાસણો ઘસી લે પછી તે માટીવાળુ પાણી એક બોટલમાં ભરી લાવવાનું કહ્યું. પ્રત્યેક વિદ્યાર્થી દરરોજ માટીનાં પાણીવાળી એક બોટલ ઘેરથી લઈ આવવા માંડ્યો. શિક્ષકે વિદ્યાર્થીઓને આ જ પાણી ઝાડને પીવડાવવા માટે કહ્યું. દિવસો વીતતા ગયા અને શાળાની સામે એક લીલોછમ બગીચો તૈયાર થઈ ગયો. એક શિક્ષકનાં નાનકડા પ્રયોગે નકામા પાણીનાં ઉપયોગથી સૂકા પ્રદેશમાં હરિયાળી લાવી દીધી અને વળી આ પ્રયોગનાં માધ્યમથી શિક્ષકે વિદ્યાર્થીઓને પ્રકૃતિમાતા સાથે મિત્રતા કેળવવાનું પણ શીખવી દીધું. મને આ ઘટના ઘણી સ્પર્શી ગઈ. આશા છે કે તમને પણ એ સ્પર્શી જશે.

પર્યાવરણની રક્ષા માટે આ પ્રકારની ટીપ્સ અને પ્રયોગોની જાણકારી પરસ્પર આપતા રહીએ. ચાલો આપણે સૌ પર્યાવરણની જાળવણીમાં આપણો ફાળો આપીએ.

The Nagarwala case

Jimmy Nagarwala was employed with the research and analysis wing of the cabinet secretariat. He rang up the chief cashier of State Bank of India, Parliament Street branch, To tell to keep Rs 60 lac in cash ready. He had imitated the voice of Indira Gandhi and told him or so Mr.VK Malhotra, the chief cashier, told the police. A part of the contingency funds available to Prime Minister was kept with this SBI Branch. Nagarwala reached the Bank, collected  the cash and then vanished into thin air. Cashier Malhotra panicked and rushed to PMO, police was sent on the Nagarwala trail. The police nabbed him a short while later from a Dharmshala. But he did not have the cash that he had collected earlier in the same day.

The unorthodox withdrawal of such a huge sum triggered off a huge din. Indira had to answer to several embarrassing questions, She had few answers to convince an excited opposition. Nagarwala was subsequently lodged in Tihar Jail. He was to complain of a certain uneasiness, but by the time medical assistance could reach him, it was too late. Nagarwala died mysteriously in Jail.  

A few month before his  mysterious death, he had faced an attack from unidentified assailants while he was with his family in his car. Such questions are still unanswered.

The MYSTERY further compounded when VK Malhotra ; the same cashier involved in above case. After he retired from SBI he was hired as Chief Accounts Officer by MARUTI UDYOG! The same dream project of Sanjay Gandhi…

The Maruti Land Scandal

An auto-mobile repairs shop owner Arjun Das met Sanjay accidentally Gandhi who was then chasing the dream of manufacturing a people’s car. Das was allotted prime Land adjoining an IAF establishment in Gurgaon astride the Delhi Airport. The transaction violated security requirements because the new factory was sought to be premised closed to a defence establishment. The debate also focused on the fact that Sanjay Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi were directors in The UNITED PROVINCE ROAD ROLLER MANUFACTURING COMPANY founded by someone with suspect credentials. The company had made only 1 road roller but had had sold scores of road rollers to the Border Roads Construction Corporation, a public sector unit owned by the Indian Government. The company had collected money but had never dispatched a single road roller. It had receipts from the railways of having loaded the roads rollers in wagons that never reached their destinations. The CBI was asked to enquire but could not unravel the truth..

JHUK NAHIN SAKTE

This great poem was written by Atal Bihari Vajpayee ji during his stay in Jail in era of Emergency Emergency was declared at midnight on 25th June 1975. The Misfortune of Indian democracy-"The EMERGENCY ERA". This poem hold true even AFTER  36 yrs..even on 25th June 2011.

INDIA-Don't be easy prey to Foreigners.It's time to be Self-dependent in Energy & Power sector!! Use your brains...

Don't be an easy Prey to foreigners!

We are purchasing technology from France for Uranium based Nuclear Power Plants ! 

Do we really need Uranium Based nuclear power plants at Jaitapur?

We don’t have good deposits of Uranium but we have deposits of Thorium. Then why not Thorium????

Secondly, The nuclear reactor that we are heading towards would be made on High risk EARTH QUAKE PRONE LAND. (Greenpeace is also protesting the plan, arguing that the proposed site is in an "extremely risky" earthquake zone.)

What is the Government's strategy then?

They don’t understand the scientific aspect of their policies OR Are they busy shaking hands with Foreigners by being great markets to them..

After US President OBAMA; now French president SARKOZY is busy filling his wish bag with business & job opportunities provided by India to his people..

Serious issue is- that Indian Govt. wouldn’t stop there. China & Russia are in a queue to exploit Indian market after USA & France… 

(Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev are also scheduled to visit New Delhi this month.)

Why don’t we work on the idea given 5 years back; by our Great scientist & then President of India Dr. Abdul Kalam??

We have enormous scope to be energy Independent.. If we see too these areas..

NUCLEAR POWER

It is essential to pursue the development of nuclear power using Thorium, reserves of which are higher in the country . Technology development has to be accelerated for Thorium based reactors since the raw material for Thorium is abundantly available in our country. For  Uranium as raw material we will be mostly dependent on others..

"But Thorium dependency is on our own mother land once it is developed."

SOLAR ENERGY

India has abundant sunshine in whole of western region… Solar energy generation could be a better option to put resource in to become energy efficient..

Dr. Kalam said “Solar energy in particular requires unique, massive applications in the agricultural sector, where farmers need electricity exclusively in the daytime. This could be the primary demand driver for solar energy. Our farmers demand for electric power today is significantly high to make solar energy economical in large scale.
The current high capital costs of solar power stations can be reduced by grid-locked 100 MW sized Very Large Scale Solar Photovoltaic (VLSPV) or Solar Thermal Power Stations. In the very near future, breakthroughs in nanotechnologies promise significant increase in solar cell efficiencies from current 15% values to over 50% levels. These would in turn reduce the cost of solar energy production. Our science laboratories should mount a R&D Programme for developing high efficiency CNT based Photo Voltaic Cells.
In the Power generation Sector of the energy economy, we need to fully use the technologies now available for generating power from municipal waste. Studies indicate that as much as 5800 MW of power can be generated by setting up 900 electric power plants spread over in different parts of the country which can be fuelled by municipal waste.

The electric power generation and creation of clean environment are the twin advantages.

 
BIOFUELS
We have nearly 60 million hectares of wasteland, of which 30 million hectares are available for energy plantations like "Jatropha". Once grown, the crop has a life of 50 years. Each acre will produce about 2 tonnes of bio-diesel at about Rs. 20-30 per litre. Biodiesel is carbon neutral and many valuable by-products flow from this agro-industry.

This needs to be a urgent R&D programme. India has a potential to produce nearly 60 million tones of bio-fuel annually, Indian Railways has already taken a significant step of running passenger trains with a 5% blend of bio-fuel sourced from its in-house esterification plants.

What is needed is a full economic chain from farming, harvesting, and extraction to esterification, blending and marketing. Apart from employment generation, bio-fuel has a significant potential to lead our country towards energy independence.
We need to develop R&D in way to produce energy from our rich thorium deposits in future to be energy independent.

HYDRO POWER

Instead of thinking on interlinking of rivers only at times of flood and drought, we must start this programme with a great sense of urgency. It has the promise of freeing the country from the endless cycle of floods and droughts. Also, it will provide a new renewable source of energy.

Use our own resources to be ENERGY INDEPENDENT BY YEAR 2030 !!!!! 

We shouldn’t give message to Foreigners that - if you favour us with a single sentence on UN security councils' membership for India.. “We are open because of our short sightedness & ignorance…Come exploit us !!” "We are easy prey & market for you…”"Come to India, enjoy great Indian hospitality & As souvenir- fill your bags with lots of business & job opportunities..

No way!! 

Stop Government from doing that.!! 

We are spending billions of Dollars as well as we are becoming a prey to Foreigners.

Create a public opinion. AGAINST SUCH AGREEMENTS!!

Are we Nurturing Human Infants into unemotional Robots????

Aren’t we encountering with a typical society which hasn’t changed in terms of being socialized?   

A society which is creating disinterested,   self-centred, egoistic individuals with "Let it be attitude "

Both parents are busy like west,in achieving their career threshold.Children are being groomed by themselves.

Its mere matter of SERENDIPITY-what type of citizen will society achieve in future. 
Mom is away & maid has taken her place. Child is learning what maid feels is right.  From their childhood children learn bossing over elders (servant). Is this an age to teach child the distinction of classes?

We wanted literate mother with hypothesis that an Educated lady Educates home. So, now we need to educate Maids not Mothers. Is today's mom there to educate her child or she is busy earning name, money, fame & identity? Does she have time to see to child’s emotional and little requirements?

Love or "Mamta" what we call is more superficial. It is being discussed in Kitty parties & office pantry. Girls read books on happy parenting... but not see back into past, to find what their moms did.  
Child is being rushed to a psychiatrist to give him Kangaroo Therapy or the Hug Therapy to give him emotional security but Mom won't hug him right with her own arms. Aren't we crazy?
Most parent count on money they have spent on their child but not time. Child has most of toys but no one to play with them.
Would be there an emotional bonding between parents and child???

Children sit idle killing their time in front of television, watching daily soap operas which portray relations based mainly on greed for Money,strive for Power & Sex. No logic behind it, no reality of life.
What "Sanskars" are we providing?
Making the situation worse the reality shows are adding to the expectations from child. More & more competition has overburdened the child’s mind. Most parents want their child to be at top as ALL-ROUNDER , a SUPER HUMAN! What about average children? Aren’t their little achievements over shadowed by our over demanding nature?

On education front nothing useful is being taught. Most youngsters find it embarrassing, when they have to use there mother tongue- "THE MATRIBHASHA". It’s fashion to speak broken Hindi to show you are modern & literate. Isn’t it shameful for us? 
Children busy cramming lesson from "Modern passbooks" which we often call the study material or a "Refresher"! 

Is this an education which is required to create a responsible citizen?
Most of us are merely literate. We aren't including much, what we have read into our lives or attitude. Why can’t we educate our youngsters & ourselves?

Weren’t we happy with our Indian hierarchial set-up of society & type of work division,amongst sexes? Where parents were rearing & nurturing their child very nicely.With little earning in terms of money & more in terms of emotions!

Where is that WE FEELING?For whom, are we putting,our efforts?What type of NEW generation, is ought to be there?What will we do with money? Only,we can gather a crowd around ourselves,on which we can never rely.

Is Career,Academics & Economic achievements are above all Social living?
WAS THIS INDIAN CULTURE? A culture which has always amused & attracted the attention of WEST.. Why are we copying losers of west...?

WAS THIS THE AIM OF LIBERALIZATION OF WOMEN?   

IS THIS A CREATION OF NEW WORLD or DISINTEGRATION OF "FAMILY"-THE BASIC UNIT OF SOCIETY???

Think aren’t we ourselves creating a world without emotions?
Are we not turning HUMAN INFANTS into an unemotional ROBOT with high output?

We have been best on emotional front & should be so for eras to come..!

"Pushpa ki Chaah"

 

One of most inspiring poem of our curriculum.

"Khag! Udate Rahna Jeevan bhar"

Toofano ki oar ghuma do nij Patwaar!

Nice poem- To bring a change we all must have similar feelings!

Shakti aur KShama by Ramdhari Singh "Dinkar"

Focus on Right MEANS not BIG AIMS!

The day Anna ji civil society was included to discuss Janlokpal bill.  All of us screamed-

Congratulations-People power WINS!

NOW-It's Our responsibility to SUSTAIN the lamp of patriotic feeling lit by Anna Hazareji in our hearts!

Time is to Focus on Right MEANS not BIG AIMS! Need of hour is to bring a SOCIAL CHANGE.To Fight against corruption we all must start from home,neighbourhood & most from our HEARTS. Boycotting Elections can't be solution to anything. Adult Franchise is our duty as well as right.If really want to boycott, then Disregard & Boycott those-who gathered Wealth by elicit means! We must start Respecting & Recognizing those people: who are rich in MORALS & VIRTUES! Time has come to regenerate faith in each & every heart that FAME COMES WITH MORALS & HUMANITY not by WEALTH! As soon as we be able to redefine the path of recognition & FAME  as Qualities, virtues, morals,fair dealings & Sound character. Most corrupt too; won't run after gathering money. All do elicit things, to get social recognition. If we treat them as Villain no one would want to be rich by elicit means! HOPE WE ALL WILL KEEP THIS NATIONAL MOVEMENT ALIVE in our thoughts, deeds & Behaviour! Then only we may combat Corruption-the social evil!

Hum-Tum Chalein Toh Hindustan Chale!(JAN LOKPAL)

Falak Pakad Ke Uthein Aur Hawa Pakad Ke Chalein
Hum Chalein Toh Hindustan Chale...
Lagaaye Haath Ke Suraj Subaha Nikala Kare,
Hatheliyon Mein Bhare Dhup Aur Ujaala Karein...

Hum-Tum Chalein Toh Hindustan Chale, 

Aao aaj Jan LokPal ki mashal lekar chalein.
Sang sang chalien toh log kya bhagwaan bhi jhukein!
Aao phir mange Swaraj aur bhrashtachaar mukt sarkar
Aaj phir Azad Hindustaan ka Sapna sakaar karein 

Hum-Tum Chalein Toh Hindustan Chale!!!

 

Trust..The Life Time INSURANCE...

Once,A little girl and her father were walking on beach. 

The father was kind of scared so he asked his little daughter, "Sweetheart, please hold my hand so that you don’t slip into the sea.”

The little girl said, "No, Dad. You hold my hand."

                                              "What’s the difference?" Asked the puzzled father…

"There’s a big difference," replied the little girl.

"If I hold your hand and something happens to me, chances are that I may let your hand go.

But if you hold my hand, I know for sure that no matter what happens, you will never let my hand go."

  In any relationship,The essence of trust is not in its bind, but in its bond. 

So,Always hold the hand of the person whom you love rather than expecting them to hold yours … 

Avoid your ego.. Go ahead & hold tight your loved ones hand.
This would be better way to keep them away from crisis situations!

The Club-99! Are you it's member?Not yet- time to find the key to happiness!

There lived a King who, despite his luxurious lifestyle, was neither happy nor content.

Once the King came upon a servant who was singing happily while he worked. This fascinated the King. Why was he, the Supreme Ruler of the Land, unhappy and gloomy, while a lowly servant had so much joy? 

The King asked the servant, "Why are you so happy?" 

Man replied, "Your Majesty, I am nothing but a servant. My family and I don’t need too much! – just a roof over our heads and warm food to fill our tummies." 

The king was not satisfied with that reply, he sought the advice of his most trusted advisor.

After hearing the King’s woes and the servant’s story, the advisor said, "Your Majesty, I believe that the servant has not been made part of The 99 Club." 

"The 99 Club? And what exactly is that?" 

Advisor replied, "Your Majesty, to truly know what The 99 Club is, place 99 Gold coins in a bag and leave it at this servant’s doorstep." 

So did the king do...

When the servant saw the bag, he took it into his house. He opened the bag, he let out a great shout of joy…  

So many gold coins!  

He began to count them. After several counts, he was at last convinced that there were 99 coins. He wondered, "What could've happened to that last gold coin? Surely, no one would leave 99 coins!" He looked everywhere he could, but that final coin was elusive. 

Finally, exhausted, he decided that he was going to have to work harder than ever to earn that gold coin and complete his collection.

From that day, the servant’s life was changed. He was overworked, horribly grumpy, and castigated his family for not helping him make that 100th gold coin. He stopped singing while he worked.

Witnessing this drastic transformation, the King was again puzzled. 

He sought his advisor’s help.

The advisor said, "Your Majesty, the servant has now officially joined The 99 Club." 

He continued, "The 99 Club is a name given to those people who have enough to be happy but are never content, because they're always yearning and striving for that extra 1 telling to themselves: "Let me get that one final thing and then I will be happy for life."

We can be happy, even with very little in our lives, but the minute we're given something bigger and better, we want even more! We lose our sleep, our happiness, we hurt the people around us, all these as a price for our growing needs and desires.
That’s what is called joining The 99 Club!

Hope you haven't joined the CLUB 99 yet!

and unknowingly if you have- withdraw it's  membership before its too late! 

This is what is the key to Happiness...

Discard negativity-Provide good programmes to viewers..They would like it!

These days Programmes on television use negative approach to attract viewers & to earn TRP's. These channel are able to grab viewers attention but how many such programme can these hold the attracted audience, for long time.? We must say-the so called reality shows, shows full of sensationalism n vulgarity.. which are far away from humanity & intellect, How many of these can leave a long lasting impression on our minds?

Show full of pump n show.

It's human tendency to explore more & to be curios about things which they are restrained from. This is what we call the Reference group.






Off course Negativity attracts, creates curiosity.. but once the person is allowed to explore the truth n real picture about the same thing .. this curiosity disappears. Now there comes new reference group. This race keeps on going.

Veena Malik full of sensationalism at Big Boss

Negative Dolly at Big Boss

 

I don't say restrain viewers from bad things.. but provide them scope to find enough good things on T.V.

Attraction by negative approach is like Fads n fashion.. they change every second day.

Positive approach may be slow but it's steadiness & long lasting impression would always WIN the RACE.

Let them explore the world themselves but make them Aware of the difference between Good n Bad.

If we provide 90% good to viewers at-least 30% would automatically get inculcated in their personality.

Let them develop taste for more worthy shows.

Some shows may be too bitter to view because of it's bitter truth content. But this is what India should have through Journalism. Need is to develop taste of audience for real shows. 
Let them see more of debate shows than those  related to Bollywood Gossips. Let them learn dignified behaviour not "munni badnam."  Repeat knowledge bearing news.  
Don't let people live in fantasies that too the vulgar one.. 
Don't let people sleep any more. Provide them with entertainment but don't estimate their I.Q. level is too low.


People would learn to relish what they are served on television. Indian viewers are too adaptive. Climbing mountains is a hard job but that doesn't mean all should start drowning or  flowing with down falling streams... Put efforts to awaken inner self. Put efforts on humanistic approaches.

Reinoculate the faith in virtues of life-the Honesty,Humanity, Truthfulness, Sound character & Simplicity.Make them feel that these virtues still bear Grace In Society n can win fame n recognition.
Media frames our mind set.  

Arnab Goswami-Fearless  journalist is admired for his impartial News.

Please don't let full of stupidity, without-intellect  programmes win TRP's just by watching such programmes, out of curiosity. Appreciate good deed of people around, give recognition to those who are contributing  something to this world..Don't recognise those who are just rich in terms of Wealth.

Give recognition to wisdom, to  knowledge and to Humanity! 
RECOGNIZE THOSE WHO ARE RICH IN VIRTUES,CHARACTER or INTELLECT.

Set a trend that FAME is matter of our good contribution to the society & it can't be earned just by adding lot of money in our accounts. 
Hope earth would be a better place to live in.!

Relish-"Til ke Laddoo..On Makar Sankranti- Why in winters only?"

Til ke laddoo

Til or Sesame seeds, since eras, North India's winter festivals are associated with the Gajak or Tilpatti or Til ke Laddo! Everyone used to consume Til & Gud in one form or the other during the winter season. 

Have you ever thought why our ancestors made such Til & Jaggery(Gud) combination foods in WINTERS?

May be because there is crop of til & sugarcane during these months.

If we further investigate the reason why GOD gifted TIL to man..and why in this period of year only?

We reach to a more satisfying & amazing answer.. 

Through the investigation of nutritive value we find that Sesame seeds(TIL)are richest source of iron & Jaggery(GUD) a high energy food which is also rich in dietary iron.

Both of these foods are rich source of iron..! In fact Til is richest source of iron in Indian vegetarian foods..

Why Iron rich food in winters??

Studies reveal that During winters our BMR or basal metabolic rate is reduced. 

What is BMR?-Is it merely a figure that we achieve during the full body analysis, on an electronic machine? or a figure on which your dietician puts a circle- saying you need to work-out harder to improve it..  

But is not that insignifant. BMR is associated with the body's basic functions.. It's simplest guideline, for a nutritionist to estimate, that what type of body response will be, during the full session. By definition BMR or BASAL METABOLIC RATE is the minimum amount of energy required to sustain our life through involuntary activities in post absorptive state. 

What happens if BMR gets reduced? If BMR gets reduced the amount of energy that we consume, more of it, gets converted into body's fat deposits rather than being utilized to sustain our normal healthy body functions.This will make us put on weight...!

Then, Why is BMR reduced? As body sees a emergency situation, arising during the cold months.. Brain advises body to store more fat for future use in crisis. As the invertebrates do during Hibernation. Secondly,Our body needs to do more effort to maintain the body temperature.. In this effort mind suggests, the body to accumulated the subcutanious Fat or we may say more of adipose tissue.. So,the body  may get a protective covering of natural fat blanket to protect us from cold..And during crisis this tissue could be broken down to fulfil energy requirement also.

Now what's the role of HIGH IRON & HIGH ENERGY foods?

If we believe in Indian food fads of "TAASIR" of foods then obviously TIL & GUD come in "warm foods" category .What we generally say "GARAM-TAASIR" in our day to day language.

Otherwise also during the low BMR days, our pulse rate & pumping of heart blood volume too gets lowered down, due to normal body feedback response. I'm not just saying this but studies reveal this fact.
When the rate of blood circulation gets reduced, the rate of oxygen supply to various parts of body too gets affected, that's a overt fact.

To overcome this situation body needs to multiply more of RBC's or the red blood cells. 

Here come's the answer-To produce more RBC's which will have high haemoglobin(Haem is form of iron compound in Haemoglobin) which could carry more oxygen through the blood stream;

The body's need for energy & Iron(Haem) is elevated. And to acquire these two, there is need for humans to add Iron & Energy rich foods in their diet during winter months.

After analysing all  this reason behind the Til-patti or the Til ke Laddo.

Don't you too feel that our ancestors were genius..?

They used scientific foods in their day to day life?

Just there was a little difference in presentation of ideas. They utilised their knowledge well, but they didn't gave such reasoning.They might have thought people won't understand or they thought masses may not follow the idea, if it is not associated with some custom. So, they combined each required food with festivals.

Like they did with TIL & JAGGERY by associating with MAKAR SANKRANTI..!

Not only Til & Gud but "Moong ki dal ki pakodi's" on Makar Sankranti too have some logic behind it which I will try to reveal in my next article.. 

Is it Love or Lust ? Don't redefine the two words...

Love is unconditional

Most discussed topic in life- Love! Majority of soap operas revolve around it. Here, love starts at first sight or with the girl just tripping down, into the arms of hero. This most demanded & passionate love creates lot of tension, competition, greed, revenge and even crime. This very cherishing feeling of  love in such serials, expires as soon as a third person steps into the couple’s life. The big dream castle of so-called love collapses with a little tremor of distrust or infatuation created for someone else.

In such operas-The love is being portrayed as ultimate lust for opposite sex. It’s matter of egoist achievement. 

It’s similar to Ravan’s love for Sitaji or Suparankha’s desire for Shri Ram. 
Our mythology termed this as “Rakshas Pravriti”

or in the modern era we may call it –“Animal Instinct”!

Love means much more.. It can not be "id" only!

Need to review our Indian ideology-The sequence of Purusharthas. 

“Ab toh songs mein bhi Ishq 'Ibadat' ki jagah 'kamina' hone laga hai.. Kya yehi humari sabhyata hai?”

 It’s time to judge our feeling, on our own.

Where are we heading?Aren’t we heading towards our degeneration?Our cultural degradation?

Don’t redefine LOVE as LUST. .These two are anonymous..

Love is worship!

“Pyar upaasana hai—Vaasana nahi..”

Ishwar Bhakti, Aastha, Vatsalaya, Desh prem, Karuna are part of the word love only. Why not projecting them to world?

Love is as sacred as worship.. It’s pure.. It can’t be bound in boundaries of adjectives. It can’t be created nor destroyed. Motives can never be its foundation. Situations change people come & go in life. We love something and if it goes; we feel down & hurt. Soon, we learn to let it go, we stop thinking of it, finding it wasn’t meant to be ours. But how can somebody hurt back?

How people take revenge for not achieving, what they want in love? No one in this  world is bound to feel the way you think he or she should.

People are trying to snatch love...committing Crimes to achieve it! Kidnapping for love.. Captive life can never be pleasure for anybody.. Bandhano main bandh ke pyaar ka vriksh kaise vikasit hoga? Murder for love? or Is it murder of love & humanity!

How can love be CAUSE of destructive activity?  Isn’t it shameful to define our Lust or Id  as love?

Are we animals or human beings?

Love pyramid

Since eras, Love has been a beautiful feeling, which enhances our personality.Which binds humans like a pearls in a string.. Which encourage to sacrifice 'self' for a single smile of loved one.

Then why does EGO overlap our so SACRED feeling of life-"love"?

What’s so insulting in loosing for someone, whom you love…

Think who the winner is? It’s your love only.. Then, what makes you so impatient & egoistic?

Does proximity is the end which we seek in love?

Off course we want to be near to our choice but if not so…

Here comes the role of wisdom.. Say if we hurt whom we love but whom we couldn't acquire..

Who will feel the aftermath? Who is the biggest victim? Who is being hurt..?

It’s WE ourselves. Isn’t it?

This means to be victorious in love-appeasement of our loved one is most important. His/her freedom is most important.

To be a nice human being we must express love in its other forms too.. Need to decentralize our id into creative 'likes & love for other things-God, Parents, Work, Aims, Motherland, Humanity, Nature anything that is important in our lives..'

Stop before it’s too late. Time to think what we are achieving by our ids..? 

Try to feel the satisfaction, which we get, when without selfish motive- we give, give & give to see a flash of smile on someone’s face. The mere shine in the other one’s eyes is more than a life’s treasure…

The best portion of a man’s life, is, his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and unintentional love... 

This was an article which I wrote when I came across number of NEWS regarding increasing crimes related to what is called  "Crime of Passion".
Hope my lines will not be used take out any Inferences regarding my personal life....

Although above article reflects my ideology but it doesn't include any personal-life experience.

“Emergency Vs Urgency”

Most of the medico-legal cases arise in the hospital settings when one fails to differentiate between emergency and urgency. 

Emergency- is an emergent condition requiring immediate steps and remedies. 

On the other hand, Urgency requires medical attention but one can wait for few hours. 

Routine care the third category can be handled under routine schedule of appointments.

It is the duty of every doctor to triage their patients on routine/urgent/emergent cases. One of the formulae which can be used is the formula of "first time, unusual, unexplained". Any symptom or sign appearing for the first time in life or/and is unusual or/and cannot be explained needs immediate attention. For example after resting if you are feeling tired you need consult or when you have headache for the first in life, you need consult. One should also be aware of life-threatening emergency situations.

A few situations are:  

• Respiratory rate > 35 per minute
• Inability to speak a sentence along with breathlessness.
• Suspected heart attack chest pain (diffuse pain lasting > 30 sec in the center of the chest)
• High fever with no sweating
• Altered consciousness
• Inability to move a limb, 
• Difficulty in speech, 
• facial irregularity
• Any bleeding in pregnancy
• Blood in the sputum or vomiting
• First onset of seizures. 
• Undefined low fever for more than three day should not be ignored.                           

Most of us over look meagre signs of ailment or natural Alarms of body .. What Doctor & others will think of us, if we rush to hospital for our slight or meagre ailments,Stops most of us. Majority of time.. me too do the same! This may have serious Health hazards.. We need to be more Health conscious..

Never QUIT.. Life has a distinct role for everyone...Wait for your turn..

Bamboo flower that appears after 48yrs

One day I decided to quit…I quit my work, my relationships, my spirituality, everything.

I wanted to quit my life... 

God called me to have a last talk..

I went to the forest to have one last talk with God. 

"God", "Can you give me one good reason not to quit? I said.  

He said-"Look around",  "Do you see the fern and the bamboo?" 

"Yes", I replied but why?
God continued..
"When I planted the fern and the bamboo seeds, I took very good care of them. I gave them light. I gave them water.
The fern quickly grew from the earth. Its brilliant green covered the floor. Yet nothing came from the bamboo seed. I was upset But I did not quit on the bamboo. 

In the second year the fern grew more vibrant and plentiful. And again, nothing came from the bamboo seed. It created despair.. But I did not quit on the bamboo. "In year three there was still nothing from the bamboo seed. But I was Determined I would not quit. The same in year fourth …

then in the fifth year, a tiny sprout emerged from the earth. 

Compared to the fern, it was seemingly small and insignificant.

But just six months later, the bamboo rose to over 100 feet tall. It had spent the five years growing roots. Those roots made it strong and gave it what it needed to survive.  
"I would not give any of my creations a challenge it could not handle." "Did you know, my child, that all this time you have been struggling, you have actually been growing roots? I would not quit on the bamboo. I will never quit on you. "Don’t compare yourself to others." 

"The bamboo had a different purpose than the fern. Yet they both make the forest beautiful." "Your time will come", God said to me.

"You will rise high" 

"How high should I rise?" I asked.

"How high will the bamboo rise?" He asked. 

"As high as it can?" I said. 

"Yes." He said,"Give me glory by rising as high as you can." 

I left the forest & the desire to QUIT, realizing that God will never give up on me. And He will never give up on you too.   

Never regret a day in your life.

Good days give you happiness; Bad days give you experiences; both are essential to life.

Never Quit.. Life has something in it's store for you too..

Wait till you get a lead role, in this God's Drama called LIFE!!!

Beautiful Bamboo flower the result of it's 48 years of patience & self-sustaining nature!! We too have something beautiful, in nature's store for us.. Wait till time comes...
