This day, a Bharatiya became World's Spiritual Emperor

On this day in 1893, a Bhagwa (Saffron) clad youth of India became spiritual emperor of the world. Swami Vivekananda's message
on September 11, 1893:
"Sisters and Brothers of America. [At this moment came the three minute standing ovation from the audience of 7,000] It fills my heart with joy unspeakable to rise in response to the warm and cordial welcome which you have given us. I thank you in name of the most ancient order of monks in the world; I thank you in the name of the mother of religions; and I thank you in the name of millions and millions of Hindu people of all classes and sects.

Lathi-charge and tear gas on JNU students, 18 are seriously injured!

Minutes ago thousands of police forces freely lathi-charged and shot tear gas bombs on JNU students. Eighteen students including six girls are seriously injured and four others are detained by police. The issue was lame response from police on the vandalism by four goons where eve-teasing and abusing students and flashing firearms on watchmen. Students were protesting against the lukewarm response from Delhi Police. In afternoon, some four persons in a care entered into campus, they were drinking and passing lewd comments on girls. They also misbehaved with on girl. After complaints watchmen stopped them at gate at 3.30 pm, when they were trying to escape. Incidentally I was passing by from the gate, I found those goons were fighting with watchmen, pushing them and abusing them. They also threat for dire consequences to watchmen as they told that they are relative of some ‘commissioner’. A PCR of Delhi police was parked beside but policemen present that time were mere suspect of whole...

कैसे सेकुलर हो, अपना नाम भूल जाते हो...

भूमिका: गत दिनों मुनव्वर राना साहब NDTV के एक कार्यक्रम पर आये. मैं उनकी शायरी का बहुत बड़ा प्रशंसक हुआ करता था. ये जनाब राय बरेली के हैं, और शायरी में बेजोड़ हैं. अपने समय के शीर्ष शायरों में इनको शुमार किया जाता है. लेकिन उस NDTV वाले कार्यक्रम में मैंने इनका एक अलग ही चेहरा देखा. जो जिन्ना और तालिबान का मिला जुला प्रतीत हुआ: "तुम्हे हुकूमत मिली तुम गुजरात बनाते हो, हमें हुकूमत मिली हम दिल्ली बनाते हैं... हम औरंगजेब हैं, हम अपनी खिचड़ी खुद पकाते हैं" मुनव्वर साब से ये मुल्लागिरी की उम्मीद नहीं थी. बहरहाल, उनको जवाब मिलना चाहिए: गुजरात याद रखते हो, काश्मीर भूल जाते हो, कैसे सेकुलर हो अपना नाम भूल जाते हो... पोलिटिकली कर्रेक्ट होना तो बहुत आसान है, हैरानी है कि हजारों की गयी जान भूल जाते हो... मज़हब की दूकान सरेआम चला लेते हो, लेकिन अपना फ़र्ज़ और इमान भूल जाते हो... नोआखाली से रावलपिंडी तक कौम बना लेते हो, और लाखों की गयी जान भूल जाते हो... आगजनी और लूट का अधिकार याद रखते हो, और अपनी जमीं अपना हिंदुस्त...

Let it be, imperfect me with myself

On 29th June, 2012 One more year passed by, while I remained the one... Staying and counting by. Life has been a space in time.. Where people come and go, They have to go and they do so. While being me, most of the time, into the thoughts and reality... I Seldom forgot, when to dim, when to shine. It was only me, lived in dark age and waited for the renaissance.. held on ups and stood through down, Lived through guilt, Survived thorough innocence who am I? the dream chaser? or own record breaker... Let it be, imperfect me with myself, (just like this poem) Incomplete yet total in run, Let life be "coming soon" with fun...
