MODERNISATION IT IS....."

A DECADE back the world wasn't so small,the long distances had their captivating stay in each sphere of mans life,starting from the accessibility to various commodities,the world events,the developments across the globe,the varied exotic cuisines,the diverse people,and of course even human relationships were not left untouched .
It was merely the advent of technology,emergence of the world wide web and the internet which forced the world to shrink to an extent that human brain never imagined. Globalisation has established its roots all around the world.Among the various countries of the world INDIA is holding up a firm stand in every possible sphere ranging from IT sector,software industry,foreign trade,sports,and the list goes on.There's a further and a peculiar addition to the list is "seeking of indian brides "by the world.I may sound weird to most of you but i am sure none can contradict  it.
A recent incidence came up when one of my dad's friend was looking for "indian girls " fr his son.My dad asked him.."your son has been born and brought up in d west,then why do you search for an indian girl as his wife.
He briskly replied "because i want the allure of my country to be alive in my grandchildren"...
i want them to adopt the same culture ,the values,the religious ethics imbibed in me by my mother...
He nostalgically said "i still have that sight fresh when my mother used to be draped in those starched cotton sarees,and the jingle hymes in praise of god,the aroma of the incense sticks in every corner of the house and each morning was indeed beautiful.
Though each bit of above reminds us of our mothers ,grandmothers but at the same time it may seem to most of us as an exaggerated discussion as the the "young minds" may not adhere to even a part of the above picturesque of an "INDIAN BRIDE"

"MODERNITY has paved its way in our blood the same way as corruption has set in our politics.
I being a proud and a pragmatic youth of this generation surely comply with the fact that one needs to change and adapt with the changing times and move ahead .
But MOVING AHEAD means root out the age old indian practices of "dahej",widow ill treatment,female infanticide,female exploitation etc.
MOVING AHEAD means transforming the still prevalent "male chauvinist society"and orthodox mentality that "women are less than men" .
But mostly we are moving ahead and adapting partial vulgarity,disrespect of elders,deterioration of ethics and values and above all creating a set of youth who brainlessly adept the western culture and name it as "modernisation"
MODERNISATION is no way near to adapting the gray shades of western culture".Rather modernisation in its actual sense means moving towards a state of mind and thoughts of liberalization,pragmatic approach along with keeping the indianness alive.
So an honest appeal to all the young minds....
"
Until the indianess is alive...
until the ethics rule our mind...
until spiritualism is the energy behind our souls...
until blessings of elders is foremost important...
until then INDIA IN ITS VERY BEING IS ALIVE AND READY TO RULE THE WORLD......

JAI HIND..!!!!!

when life is engulfed among the cobwebs of life...still some people r always needed and missed....dedicated to all dose....

I NEEDED YOU...!!!!!!!!!!!


It was a monday morning...
The week starts and the work's calling...
The notes all made,the efforts all played...
The spirits all high to rise and fly....
but for those wings-"I NEEDED YOU"

Dressed in those best attires..
The lucky colours...those high stilletoes...
The perfect liner and the perfect shades...
but for that "compliment" accompnying my departure...
"I NEEDED YOU"

I rose high among the crowd..
Whn the people dwelled there eyes on me..
With cladded prenotions..some indiffrent eyes...
The perfect plastic smiles and clever lies...
those confirmatory handshakes and a formal embrace..
but for those close cuddle n sudden hugs...
"I NEEDED YOU"


When the world saw my confidence at heights...
Gracefulness garnished with a brimming smile...
The pedestal all set 2 felicitate the showman..
behind all that...my hands trembled..my heart skipped..
my soul hassled...and when i missed that hand that held mine for ease...
"I NEEDED YOU"

When my life was picture perfect...
Those rare zeniths all at my feet...
The world all around to admire
and stay fr the pompous treat...
I stood there at awe...sailing in the serene sea..
but that impeccable "navigator" i missed the most...
"I NEEDED YOU"
