PERCEPTIONS MATTERS

One day, the father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the express purpose of showing him how poor people live.They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family.On their return from their trip, the father asked his son, "How was the trip?""It was great, Dad.""Did you see how poor people live?" the father asked."Oh yeah," said the son."So, tell me, what you learned from the trip?" asked the father.The son answered:"I saw that we have one dog and they had four.We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have creek that has no end.We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night...Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon.We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight.We have servants who serve us, but they serve others.We buy our food, but they grow theirs.We have walls around our property to protect us; they have friends to protect them."The boy's father was speechless.Then his son added, "Thanks Dad for showing me how poor we are."Isn't perspective a wonderful thing? Makes you wonder what would happen if we all gave thanks for everything we have, instead of worrying about what we don't have.Appreciate every single thing you have, especially your friends!

LOVE HAS NO LIMIT

While Dad was polishing his new car,his 4 yr old son picked stone & scratched lines on the side of the car.In his anger, Dad took the child's hand & hit it many times, not realizing he was using a wrench.At the hospital, his child said "Dad when will my fingers grow back?"Dad was so hurt.He went back to car and kicked it a lot of times.Sitting back he looked at the scratches, child wrote "I LOVE YOU DAD"Anger and Love has no limits...

READ AND LAUGH

A man hated his wife's cat and he decided to get rid of it. He drove 20blocks away from home and dropped the cat there.The cat was already walking up the driveway when he approached his home.The next day, he decided to drop the cat 40 blocks away but the same thing happened.He kept on increasing the number of blocks but the cat kept on coming home before him.At last he decided to drive a few miles away, turn right, then left, passed the bridge, then right again and another right and so on until he reached what he thought was a perfect spot and dropped the cat there.Hours later, the man calls his wife at home and asked her, "Jen is the cat there?" "Yes, why do you ask?" answered the wife.Frustrated the man said,"Put that bloody cat on the phone, I'm lost and I need directions."

'DEV BHOOMI' RAJINDER NAGAR

Thousands of civil service aspirants are swarming in the streets of Rajinder Nagar.Some prominent institute for civil services are also located in this area.These students are burning late night oil to get a seat in this prestigious exam.It is their hard effort and drop of the swat from their forehead which make the land of Rajinder Nagar a "DEV BHOOMI' in true sense.You can see several 'तपस्वी' doing their 'तपस्या' in very samll rooms...[..even Dog will fear to live in those conditions some time]....As a lot of stories are written in our ancient scriptures that whenever any 'tapasvi" does his/her ' TAPASYA' God usually send some 'APSARAS' to distract that 'Tapsasvi"...It is happening in Rajinder Nagar too.God has sent several Apsaras [..babes in modern vocabulary] which are loitering around these tapasvis and distract from their noble path.This way these poor tapsvi got ruined and these apsaras become successful in civil service exam.you can see them easily in near by Rajinder Park or Mr. Anil Chai Wala where poor tapasvi provides valuable insite about the method of tapasya and provide notes too [.some even say that some tapasvi even wash and cook for their apsaras...].....
thus,dear friends beware from these cunning apsaras if you want to succeed in this exam.You can use them for your entertainment and timepaas but don't ever let them dominaate on your 'tapasyaa'...otherwise you will be one of the modern Mr. Viswamitr.

AM I CONFUSED?

I don't know a lot of things and complexities about me....may be i don't want to think about all those secondary things which are essential in life....TO the fullest of my knowledge I rarely think about my personal life...i always dreamed to do some thing for people of our great nation...i m planning to do a lot of things for my local area...as i m going home tomorrow..there is already a good planning of a series of my lectures to the students...i will report you back about the details.. Apart from national service all other things are secondary to me which i m not going to plan in advance as i strongly believe in serendipity for secondary and sundry things.....i think God sent me for a different and big purpose...i m just a puppet in HIS hands......let us see how much positive influence i can make in the life of millions of people of this great nation.......

MY VISIT TO HARIDWAR

Recently I went to a sacred place Haridwar to thank God for the blessing...due to that I am able to find place in the successful list of civil service examination 2007 conducted by UPSC.I stayed there for three days and enjoyed every moment.After a long time I was not having any tension to got up early in the morning to finish news paper..[or health related tension..].I sat for long hours along the banks of sacred Ganga ji and observed her pure water and millions of people lined up to take bath on the occasion of "Purnimasi"....I liked the evening Pooja and those small plates filled with flowers and "deepak" floating on the water.The seen itself was very emotional when small kids were crying to take bath but they were forced to take bath in the cold water by their parents [...I feel it is a good methgod to transfer the "sanskars" from one generation to other generation....].
Along with this beautiful pictures I saw lot of beggars here and there crying for help.This site disturbed me a lot..[few beggars even have a bad makeup to make people pity so that they can fetch good money from them....].There is no proper arrangement of sanitation at "Haree-ke-paudi"...people are just sitting here and there and doing their daily activities which make site very dirty.Local administration must workout some plan for this problem [otherwise it may happen that somebody takes sacred bath in Ganga ji with the loud chanting "har-har-gange" and suddenly he found that there is some trace of night soil stick on his head...uh..uh..uh...]......but anyway I wish that one should visit these place for internal purification occasionally.

I QUALIFIED IN IAS EXAM

With the grace of God I finally qualified in civil services examination 2007 conducted UPSC.With the available vacancies I think I can get IRS...the most satisfying thing was that few of my friends have also qualified.But the sad part is few of very deserving candidates have not qualified .I just pray to god to give them success in their next attempt.

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY

Dear all,Good morning.......
In life, we have a lot to lose and very little to choose.
Whenever you get a chance to choose,
Do it wisely and see that you never lose what you choose.

A BEAUTIFUL THEATRE FESTIVAL IN NEW DELHI

In this summer,Sahitya Kala Parishad has once again came with Theatre festival loaded with the best plays of year 2007.It is being staged at Sri Ram Centre at Mandi House and able to attract a sizable people of Delhi.This festival will continue till 9th May 2008.so far I am able to watch two plays : 'Mangu and Bikker' and '8 Ghante'...these were really fantastic plays.I am planning to watch rest of the plays too.I think this is the best way of spending quality time where one gets the opportunity to be sensitizes about myriad of issues happening around us.I wish that more and more number of people will come to watch this festival.It is affordable to all sections as ticket is only Rs 30/-. I want to spread this theatre culture throughout our country.I am looking forward to some proactive people who can help me in this endeavour.

AN EMERGING THREAT TO Mr. ANIL Chai Wala

As I have already written on special privilege and unique space enjoyed by Mr. Anil Chai Wala in old Rajinder Nagar,New Delhi from several years, now I am seeing vividly incoming danger to his monopoly in local Chai market here.There is another chai Wala fastly growing under Anil's Nose.This shop is located near Apple fresh and owned by "ANNA".Earlier it was in a poor condition due to lack of space to sit and Bhat session.Now background shop has been converted in to Property broker's office.This has come as a blessing in disguise for this petty Chai wala.Now there is enough space for all social activities [..for other activity too...].It also has some more advantages e.g. near Apple fresh where lot of greenery is available as well as near to "IDLI n VADA" shop.Thus,this small shop is doing a huge business and posing a great danger to Mr. Anil Chaiwala.This development may be good for the students,as market forces will always beneficial to the consumers [...am i correct??]......I hope this Chai Wala will flourish in near future and trigger more competition in the lucrative Chai market.

SORRY...SORRY...I WAS OUT

Once again I am sorry for a long sabbatical...Actually I was out of station..it was almost an alien land where world seems very slow...it is away from modern developments though people have huge bank balance through potato business...[ooh..should I also engage in this trade?]...I have visited several houses of my relatives. Everybody was there to welcome due to my success in PCS [I may be wrong..that may be due to affection as well]...any way I have enjoyed my stay a lot from a long time when I was simply avoiding any social contacts.I think life always gives you some chance to excel in your life...one must wait these moments patiently.
Now I am waiting my UPSC results...let us see what will happen within this month as result is going to be out shortly.

उफ़ ये कमपटीशन....?????

This is an era of huge competition....everybody is running for another's throat....yours one mistake can be an opportunity for other's success.....some time i feel very depressed about my chances to win.I can quote one example here...in march this year i appeared for Uttarakhand PCS preliminary examination.I scored pretty well in it.I think I attempted more then 110/120 in optional and more then 132/150 in general studies paper with 98% accuracy.But still I am out of the race.Now what else to do??....even with this score I am not able to click...this is a very serious situation in our country.Millions of youth are fighting for civil services examination year after year.Competition is increasing everyday.Who knows what will happen with these millions of souls because vacancies are very limited.The biggest problem with civil services preparation is that futility of this knowledge in other areas.Nobody seems interested in discussing about plethora of things we have learnt in this process.Something must be done to protect the interest of these souls.Their whole career are on stack.Some venues must be created to absorb this pool of immense talent.

I QUALIFIED IN JHARKHAND PCS

I have written something on JPSC about its procrastination technique few days back...I think some of them must have read that entry in this blog...fortunately They have come out finally with a list which include my name too.Officially I will be posted in financial department.After a long struggle I got some relief with this result.
Now numerous friends of mine are showing lucrative aspects of this post in coming future..but I think I have different goals in my mind.I want to be in the system to reinvent it for the benefit of the state as well as its people.I am pondering about the myriads of challenges involves in the reform process.I will have to overcome all of them with courage and determination.Since administrative reform is a minor activity [too much public ad baba...],I will have to show meticulous planning and generate public support as in Democratic parliamentary system people are the ultimate kings..and if this mass is with me then I can overcome any challenges.
I pray to God to give me wisdom and sufficient mental toughness to meet the growing expectations of the people of Jharkahnd which is a paradox in itself...as it is a very rich state but its people are very poor [this was asked me in the JPSC interview]....At last I want to give thanks to all those well wishers who stood besides me in my difficult hour and expect same support in near future to make this world a better place to live in.

ऑऐ ताड़ी पी कर सो गया क्या??..अब तो जाग जा....बच्चे बहुत परेशान हें....

I have appeared for Jharkhand Public Service Commission [JPSC] pre exam in 2006....mains in 2007...and interview and medical in 2008....can you see the frustrating duration between the various examination stages???.This was somewhat alright as compared to other state PCS examination where only exams are being conducted...no action on results..[one should remember Bhagvat Geeta.. कर्म करो ...फल की चिंता मत करो वत्स ...].
Now it is April 2008...JPSC is not bother about the final result.They are not able to visualise the mental trauma the aspirants are suffering [some candidly accept that their marriage depends on the result]...Even no body is attending the phone calls at JPSC......अरे भाई ताड़ी पी कर सो गये क्या???कुछ तो ख्याल करो बालकों का.....

PONDER OVER IT !!!!!

ऐ छोटू चाय ला !!!!

We usually heard this header of this article almost everyday without giving a little bit of thought.Even I became so habituated by this word that I use it indiscriminately without considering the age of the opponent [just as Bengali guys say "DADA" to everyone they meet....sometime even to kids]...Look friends,this is an endemic problems of our country to see "THESE NUMEROUS CHOTUS" here and there at every tea stall or Dhabas.The constitution of India though has provisions to ban these Chotus from working.Even the august parliament of India passed a legislation to ban the child labour in any form be it Dhabas,hotel,motel or domestics recently. But efforts are in vain.We should imagine the plight of these Chotus before ordering the tea.How many Chotus just like one at "ANIL CHAI WALA"..are serving throughout our country...it gives me pain [ONE ARTICLE ALREADY WRITTEN ON IT...PLEASE REFER THAT ONE TOO...].Few years back I met with one child who was mentally distorted.When I asked about him,he told his story.I shudder...he was treated like an obnoxious animal by an elegant lady [software pair in Delhi]...some time even he was chained and locked inside the house like a Dog.It should be treated strictly.All the law enforcement agencies must work to eradicate this menace from the society.For this to happen Civil society must come forward to help the enforcement agencies.Then only these plethora of "CHOTUS" can be saved.

A MEETING WITH A NAMESAKE OF A FAMOUS BOLLYWOOD ACTRESS

Today I met with a girl [as title suggests]....She is beautiful,intelligent and diligent [am I too kind??]....She lives with her elder sister....She is going to appear for UPSC interview with her sister very soon.....I came to know several of her qualities during conversation with her...I think she is having million $ smile [ so she will fetch 200 plus marks in interview definitely]....
Today I have a strong complained with God....He has taken her father back to HIS court so early...why some nice people faced so much difficulty in their life??...Though she is self sufficient and managing her expenses with a smile on her face....but I feel she should not be given this much pain.....Any way Her mother must be proud of her and her sister that both will appear for interview....I strongly wish for their success....Society should also come forward to help the needy one and stop criticizing and creating troubles for the brave girls of 21st century India.
