"Taaj Hai Be-Misal"

2008-12-21T20:18:00.000-08:00

My Title of the so called poem is Symbolic
"Taaj Hai Be-Misal"

Mumbai Ko Be-Taaj karney ki thi

Unn firkaparaston ne Naapaak Koshish

Gahri rachi thi Saajish

Hind ko Daagney ki

Maajbot thaey mansoobey Unn darindon key

Par woh bhool gaye Junoon-e-Hind

ki ye Hindostan hai

Nahi Jhukey thaey

Nahi Jhukengey

Taaj hai Misal Hind key Jawaab kaa

Woh Manzar-e-daur aur thaa (British Rule)

Per ye Manzar-e-Wakia kuch aur (Mumbai Terror Attack)

Tab Uttah thaa Taaj ban kar Misaal-e-Hind (Agrezi Raaj Ko)

Aur Aaj phir khul uttha hai Taaj Ban kar Bhaarat ka Jaawab (Terror Ko)

Tab Nahi Jhuka Tha Taaj

Nahi Jhukengey AAj

Ye hai hind ki AAwaaz
- Jai Hind

kuch ne ji lee Zindagi par abhi kuch ko maut ani baki hai Bharat Ke Jan Gan Man Ko Jawab Dena Abhi baki hai

My Title of the so called poem is Symbolic

kuch ne ji lee Zindagi par abhi kuch ko maut ani baki hai

Bharat Ke Jan Gan Man Ko Jawab Dena Abhi baki hai

Humney to abhi Mombatti hi jalayi hai

abhi Kalam ya talwar uthani baki hai

bahut kuch ho gaya
per abhi bhi bahut kuch karney ko baki hai

kuch ne ji lee Zindagi par abhi kuch ko maut ani baki hai

Desh ko chhalni kar diya andar bahar ke badmashoon ney

par abhi hamara jawaab dena abhi baki hai

sarkarein ayein aur gayeen,

avaam ki nabaz nahi pakdi kisi ney

sab ney sekin siyasat ki rotiyaan
abhi to asli imtehan abki hai

Bharat Ke Jan Gan Man Ko Jawab Dena Abhi baki hai

jaag utha hai hindostan phir sey

wo 62 ganhtey nahi wo 62 saal they

jo is pidhi ney dekhe apni aankhon sey

wo manzar kaufnakh tha
ab aur kya dekhna ko baki hai

Kya Laashon per Khandar mein film banana abhi baki hai

62 saal pehle British Raaj ko haraya tha...

in 62 ganhtoon mein hamney Terror hi nahi humney

Raaj, Dhongi, ulgav, local waad Vilasi logon ko haraya hai

Har Bhartiye ka Aakrosh aaj Bahar Nikal Aya Hai

Ye wo jaljala hai jisney Angrejon ki neev hila di thi

Achhey achhey dushmanoon ki need uda di thi

Humney to abhi Mombati hi jalayi hai

abhi Kalam ya talwar uthana baki hai

Kuch ne apni shamat sirf bol kar bulai hai

Kaanp rahey hain Nirdayi atatai

Kaanp rahey hain phoohad neta

Vidwan Ravan ney bhi lagayey they Tahaka jatey jatey

Satya ko nahi tha pehchana ab har abhimani aur vilasi ki bari hai

Aaj Matri Bhoomi ka Saheed

Poochta hai sawal

Kya aisey karogey tum salook ....

Merey Janney Ke baad....

Merey Asahay Ma-Baap / Parivar ke saath??

Mainey Jaan di desh ki khatir ....

Maine Nahi Khela Koi Match....

Mujhey nahi chaiye Man of the Match sarikha award

Saheed kahen Pukar Key Koi hai jo suney unki baat

Hum Chahein kuch Jaanbaaz Sipahsalar

jinko pyari ho Desh Ki Aan Baan Shaan

Jo nahi padney dengey dushman ke paanv

Bharat Maa Ki Pavitra Dharti Par

Jo nahi uthney dengey aankh apney Tirangey par

Aao karen ek wada Jala Kar ek Mom Batti

Jisney ungli bhi uthai to tod dengey hum

Khaayengey hum seeney par sari goli

nahi khelney denge phir khooni holi

sarkar chuntey hain hum

desh chalaeno ko

naaki dushman ko peeth dikhaney ko

aur humarey SAHIDON ko bura bhala kahney ko
Yeh Jan AAkrosh Nahi

Aag Ugalta Angar nahi

yeh Badlaw ka LAVA hai

Inkalab nahi hamey Badlaw lana hai

Hum Hi Sena Hai Hum hi Hain NSG Hum hi Desh Ki Shaan

Jala Kar Khak Kiya humey Dushman Ko

Hum Badlaw ki Lalkaar hain

Desh Ko Chalaney Walon Tum Bhi Hum se hi Ho...

Bus Tumhey har pal Chunavon ka Intezar Hai.....

sambhal jao Siyasat Karney Walon
Desh Jaag Uthah hai

nahi saheynge tumhari manmarzi

aur nahi karengey ji hazoori

bahut kuch ho gaya
per abhi bhi bahut kuch karne to baki hai

kuch ne ji lee Zindagi par abhi kuch ko maut ani baki hai

Desh ko chhalni kar diya andar bahar ke badmashoon ney

par abhi hamara jawaab dena abhi baki hai

abhi bhi har Hindostani mein Zindadili baki hai

IS bar kamal, nahi haath nahi, hathi nahin, cycle nahi, laltein hain,

Hindustan Tum Par Bhari, Is baar HUMARI Bari Hai.......

kuch ne ji lee Zindagi par abhi kuch ko maut ani baki hai

Bharat Ke Jan Gan Man Ko Jawab Dena Abhi baki hai

Humney to abhi Mombati hi jalayi hai

abhi Kalam ya talwar uthani baki hai

POLITICS & TERROR

2008-11-30T12:31:00.000-08:00

THIS WAS AN
ATTACK

ON
INDIA

&
EVERY INDIAN

we Salute our Country's Armed forces & para military & emergency services and Media the fourth pillar of Democracy.

MY FRIENDS
I AM NOT ALONE TO FEEL THE HELPLESSNESS & APATHY WE FACED FOR LAST
FOUR DAYS. THANK GOD OUR ARMED FORCES AND COMMANDOS
THEIR COMMANDERS, OUR REAL HEROES DID NOT BUDGE FOR A MOMENT.

LETS VOW TO CHANGE THE POLITICAL THOUGHT
BRING BACK UNITY, PRIDE, PEACE AND LETS PLEDGE PROACTIVE GOVERNANCE
LETS DEFEAT INACTION
LETS FIGHT TERRORISM !!!

BRITISHERS INVADED US THRU EAST, CURRENT TERRORISTS FOR A CHANGE IN THEIR STRATEGY & TACTICS ARE TARGETING US AT OUR STRONGEST SOCIO-ECONOMIC POINTS - MUMBAI, GUJRAT, DELHI, BANGALORE, HYDERBAD, GUWHATI, RAJASTHAN, UP, PUNJAB ETC.

THESE REAL HEROES [ATS CHIEF HEMANT KARKARE AND ACP ASHOK KAMTEAND MUMBAI POLICE SHARP HAWK INSPECTOR VIJAY SALASKER AND TWO NSG COMMANDOS - MAJOR SANDEEP UNNIKRISHNAN, SUBEDAR GAJENDRA SINGH - ALL INDIANS (NO MARATHI, BENGALI, NO BIHARI, NO BHAIYA, NO PUNJABI, NO GUJRATI & SO ON...BUT WERE BHARTIYAE - INDIANS)]HAVE WON THIS BATTLE FOR US.

BUT THE WAR IS STILL ON.......

iT NEEDS TO BE SEEN WHAT ARE THE GROUND LEVEL CHANGES AND SERIOUS ACTION TO RESTORE CONFIDENCE OF ENTIRE
MUMBAIKARS AND ALL OTHER INDIANS.ACTIONS HAVE TO BE CONCRETE AND FIRM WITH LONG TERM VISION NOT TO PROVIDE A PSEUDO COVER / SOLUTION IN WAKE OF ELECTION YEAR.

NOW WE WANT ACCOUNTABILITY AND ANSWERS FROM OUR POLITICIANS WHY/HOW ALL THIS COULD HAPPEN TO US
IN 21ST CENTURY!!!
WHEN WE CAN LAUNCH OUR INDIGENOUS MISSION TO MOON - CHANDRAYAAN ,[BECUASE OUR POLITICIANS CAN'T DICTATE "ISRO"-THANK GOD -
ITS ROCKET SCIENCE
NOT POLITICS (AN ART OF GULLIES AND MOHALLAS)]

WHEN WE CAN DO MUCH IN SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY WHY WE CAN't FIGHT - TERROR ?? GIVE INVESTIGATING AGENCIES AN AUTONOMOUS PLATFORM TO WORK INDEPENDENTLY. COORDINATION AMONG STATE AND CENTRAL BODIES NEEDS TO BE FIRMED UP AND ALL THEM MUST WORK IN A COHESIVE MANNER, THAT MUST BE PART OF CENTRAL HOME MINISTERS OBJECTIVES AND DUTIES PROLONGED TO STATES AND ITS MINISTERS. NOT LIKE TODAY STATE AND CENTER RUN AMOK IN TIME OF GRAVE CRISES AND LOOK FOR SCAPEGOATS & SHOULDERS.

I WOULD LIKE TO URGE CORPORATES OF INDIA TO GET TOGETHER AND FORM A NATIONAL PRO-DEMOCRATIC FRONT / ALLIANCE WHERE EDUCATED PEOPLE FROM CORPORATES AND ALL WALKS OF LIFE ARE PROMOTED FOR CONTESTING THE ELECTIONS AND MAKE CONTRIBUTING TO MOTHERLAND DIRECTLY BY PROVIDING QUALITY GOVERNANCE NOT THE WAY WE HAVE BEEN RULES FOR LAST 62 YEARS. SIGNIFICANTLY OUR CORPORATES HAVE TURNED THEIR COMPANIES AS MOST SUCCESSFUL COS. OF THE WORLD WHY CANT THEY RUN THE COUNTRY AND THE GOVERNMENT EFFECTIVELY??

I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST ALL INDIANS TO VOTE ALWAYS AND IN EVERY POLLING(Local/State/National)
AND CONTRIBUTE TO THEIR MOTHERLAND
&
CHANGE THE QUALITY OF GOVERNANCE.

WE ARE & WILL BE PARTY TO BAD AND SHODDY GOVERNANCE TILL WE VOTE IN LOCAL / STATE / NATIONAL POLLS. IF WE NEED TO CHANGE THE POLITICAL SCENARIO OF OUR COUNTRY AND LOCAL ADMINISTRATION.

NOW WE NEED TO VOTE for CHANGE:

CHEAP politics out SERIOUS NATION Builders IN!!

WE INDIANS HAVE ALWAYS DEFIED THE EXTERNAL ATTACKS ON OUR MOTHER INDIA AND FOUGHT BACK INTENSELY PUTTING BEHIND CALLOUS POLITICIANS AND THEIR DIVISIVE POLITICS. THEY ARE SERVANTS NOT THE RULERS. BUT UNFORTUNATELY THEY (POLITICIANS) HAVE GOVERNED THE COUNTRY LIKE FEUDAL LORDS UNAWARE OF WHATS GOING ON....!!

THE MARTYRDOM OF ATS CHIEF HEMANT KARKARE AND ACP ASHOK KAMTEAND, MUMBAI POLICE SHARP HAWK INSPECTOR VIJAY SALASKER AND TWO NSG COMMANDOS - MAJOR SANDEEP UNNIKRISHNAN, HAWALDAR GAJENDRA SINGH - WERE ALL INDIANS (NO MARATHI, BENGALI, NO BIHARI, NO BHAIYA, NO PUNJABI, NO GUJRATI & SO ON...BUT WERE BHARTIYAE - INDIANS)

THIS IS A CALL FOR CHANGE,
A CALL FOR CHANGE IN OUR THOUGHTS
TO CHANGE THE WAY WE ARE GOVERNED
TO CHANGE THE WAY GOVERNMENTS ARE FORMED

THIS A WARNING TO ALL POLITICOS, POLITICAL HUNCHOOS WHO TREAT SANASD - THE INDIAN PARLIAMENT AS A SEVEN STAR HOTEL - A PLACE OF LEISURE, RATHER THAN AN OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE THEIR MOTHERLAND AND COUNTRYMEN.

WE VOTE THEM TO GO THERE & WORK SERIOUSLY
AND WITH CORRECT / PURE INTENT, WORK FOR SECURING THE FUTURE OF THE COUNTRY, WORK FOR OUR TERRITORIAL SAFEGUARDS & EXCELLENCE OF ECONOMICS AND OVERALL GROWTH - AND RATHER THEY INDULGE THEMSELVES IN PETTY POLITICS OF SCORING VOTES & SETTLING PERSONAL SCORES, CREATING HATRED AND TURMOIL AND GARNERING THEIR OWN PERSONAL INTERESTS & PHYSICAL/MATERIAL DEVELOPMENT.
ITS HIGH TIME !!!THIS HAS TO GO OUT THIS TIME.

LETS VOW TO CHANGE THE POLITICAL THOUGHT
BRING BACK UNITY, PRIDE, PEACE AND LETS PLEDGE
PROACTIVE GOVERNANCE
LETS DEFEAT INACTION
LETS FIGHT TERRORISM !!!

SPECIAL THANKS TO INDIAN MEDIA
FOR THEIR UNANIMOUS APPROACH TO THINK INDIA FIRST.
I COULD SEE COLLABORATIONS BETWEEN CHANNELS ON LEADS AND FEEDS TO BRING THIS WAR ON TERROR LIVE TO US W/O WINKING AN EYELID FOR MOMENT IN THIS WAR AGAINST TERROR.

MANY THANKS TO MUMBAI FIRE SERVICE FOR ALL THEY HAVE DONE WITH MINIMAL THEY HAD.

VERYSPECIAL THANKS TO HOTEL STAFF OF TAJ & OBEROI FOR THEIR ATTITUDE OF CUSTOMER FIRST....
IN THE MOST TRYING TIMES FOR INDIA AND MUMBAI .

THE INDIAN'S DECISIVE.............
REPLY TO WAR ON
TERROR HAS JUST BEGUN...........

IF YOU THINK INDIA FIRST
PLZ PASS THIS ON TO ALL YOU KNOW

The Financial GLOBAL TSUNAMI !!!

2008-10-19T11:55:00.000-07:00

The Financial GLOBAL TSUNAMI !!!

The Melt down had to happen, but it would be so sudden and sharp - that it will consume all the Nations and will Jitter GLOBAL ECONOMY, which has affected one and all and has brought all of us to unimaginable situation or cross roads of our lives and careers will be re-shaped.

If we look at the pain each one of us is going through, because we were not prepared even 1% of the this BAD HIT. The Indian Economy, has been hit below the belt, while Western / European Economies have been hit on the FACE by this BIG FALL - The Financial Catastrophe. I think and feel this BIG FALL has made me more mature suddenly by accepting, experienceing the biggest GLOBAL FAILURE. I wish One and The Only One in my life time at the National / Global Level.

In India, though everyone including the experts from finance ministry and economic forums were saying we won't get affected, our economy is sound system is in place - the political punch line few days back "India is Andar se Majboot" - we are inherently strong it won't affect us!!!

But whats happening now, the cat - rat - dog race has started, every individual, every company and govt. is guarding itself and there are no strategies being discussed, just reactive tactics to sustain the life in these turbulent times. Only objective to live thru the STORM - Let this Financial Catastrophe gets over.....but no one knows when will it. Major Sectors have Freezed their Recruitments and we are reading news about re-trechment, salary cuts upto 90% LOW than the initial joining salary, Cos. have started focusing on cost cutting drives, no travels, virtual meetings are on. Panic is very much there. The Fears of financial repercussions are looming over each individuals mind. We have seen many torrid times of Political instability, Public unrest, War with Terror, Natural Disasters but this FINANCIAL TSUNAMI has hit us hard and unexpected. The lateral thinking has been lost. The Alternatives are not visible. Each one of us has been badly affected directly or indirectly

The unfortunate part for us Indians is it has happenned at the last year of the Govt. New elections are due in six months, in light of this the new initiatives will be limited & strategic planning has taken a toss atleast for two years.....the new elected Govt will plan and then implement the result of NEW INITITAIVES will be seen not before Agust 2011...Till the local intiatives will be limited by state govts. they don't plan the way Central Govt. does. They have limitations. They think local and regional, there is no unifromity in actions. 6 important states are due for State Assembly elections.

India's last 15 year favorite friend USA is unexpectedly is looking inwards after 73 years.
Indian govt., major corporates , Indian Share market, everybody is Clueless....The BIG DADDY they use to follow in terms of Knowledge, Skills and Attitude is down looking for bail out.
For last 15-20 years we have been dependent on US for Food for Thought so much it became a compulsory Feed, reading American Literature, Following American Ideology, following American Funda of Life and much more!!! So my friend things are grim but we have to find a way, many ways to keep our selves afloat and swim thru this Financial TSUNAMI.

I wish this period on Doldrums is over Early and we shall think Real, Act Practical and Live & Think - INDIAN.
Lets become IGNEOUS.
All The Best
