Holi aayi re .....

" Holi ke din dil khil jaatey hain rangon mein rang mil jaaty hain ...... "
and
" giley shikwey bhool kar doston dushman bhi galey mil jaatey hain ...."

If  only  Dushman , the enemy ,  could be embraced with love and faith once again , washing away  the colours of hurt and pettiness in the outpour of Holy colours and burning anger and hatred in the rising flames of The Holika , how beautiful and clean  would the next morning  dawn

After all the purpose of Holika dahen is to  remember the triumph of good over evil , and the celebration of this victory is carried farther with  splashing of colours as spring sets in signifying warmth and new beginnings ....

Is it  so difficult for a new  beginning to be made in the right direction ?
The colours of happiness and celebration would be far more joyous and true if  the colours of peace and love are added too :-)

All the best
Wishing everyone Happy Holi ....

Jai Jawaan Jai Kisaan

" Jai Jawaan , Jai Kisaan  " was  not just a slogan given by one of our most loved Prime Ministers , it also till date remains a token of the respect and affection that the Nation has for  our soldiers and farmers .
And note the fact that Jawaan comes  before Kisaan .
This  is not merely for the sake of rhyming or a coincidence .
It is because , it is the soldier who endangers his life so that the Nation feels safe and secure , and as a result the entire Nations runs smoothly .

For year and years we have been rightly proud of these two important contributors to our National progress and  pride.

Hence the BJP 's Prime Ministerial candidate gave the Nation a rude shock and jolted even the silent onlookers like me  from slumber to awakening.
What  the hell is this , I ask myself .
Is this the man who is being  advertised and  marketed  by almost the entire media as perhaps the greatest leader of our times ?
And a whole bunch of so called " loyal  and non-corrupt "  Indians are presenting and endorsing him as a strong  man and a world class leader , who keeps his word and delivers on his promises ?

Is this that great man ?

He has blundered with History , geography , general knowledge , languages etc etc .... but blundering with National Pride ?
We , and I mean every Indian , and I mean truly patriotic humane  Indian , must sit up and  question  this  insensitive creature as to how could he ever say that a  trader takes more risk in life  for national progress than a soldier ??? How could he ever equate the two  of them ?
Does he even know what a soldier does for the Country ?
Never in my life have I heard a  person   utter such   indecorous words for the selfless sons  of  the Country ,  who put duty to their Motherland before everything else.
They endanger their own lives and put their families behind them for the safety and honour of  The  Country and are forever there to help  all their fellow countrymen in such difficult times as Natural and man made calamities .
What do we give them in return ?
The least we can do is respect their spirit and honour their sacrifices .

The chaai walaas know this ..... but  sadly the  BJP's Prime Ministerial candidate does not seem to know even this .
