Is the new age going to dawn

What impresses is result. What is eternal is a class and a substance

Whoa! Chung, a 21 year old has surprised all match by match in Australian Open 2018. I guess this is just the prologue of book. In an hour he will be playing the biggest match of his life - Semi Final against the all time favorite - Federer.

Well in the fastest changing times in human history Nadal Federer rivalry isn't interesting enough. I wish Chung comes out as the precursor of the advancements in the improvised sport. I won't mind if the youth was to take reigns from the veterans.

BOSE - THE FORGOTTEN GUMNAM HERO



Having watched the documentary on Resp. Netaji certain startling facts strike my mind. Might be that many of the points have been exposed already yet I am sure they are not very common. Let us see what does the declassification of documents on the yet not understood demise of Netaji presents to us.

It is already known that the world is not yet certain that how Netaji departed from us. The theory which was originally accepted widely was his death in a plane crash in Taiwaan in 1945. Howevor what makes me feel sorry as an Indian is the way this conclusion was drawn. The commiittees which attest this opinion had no interaction with Taiwan government. The journalists who have prodded much into the issue go to the extent of absolutely refuting such arguments. Infact intelligence from various nations suggest spotting him for long after the date of plane crash.

Well, then how did Netaji depart ? As such there hasnt been any cock sure public release on this. The in thing today, the declassification of large chunk of documents has sparked this debate again. And RSTV documentary supports something which is quite mysterious. It suggests that the 'Gumnami Baba' of faizabad who died in 1985 was no one else but Subhash Chandra Bose. Though I fail to find any reason that how come Netaji would go untraced for so long. But the reason that they give somehow trap me believing them. At the same time the self-centred political maxims of Congress and Lt. Nehru somehow give me such intutive yes-feelings.

Overshadowed in the cry of Gandhi the audacious yet humble Subhash Chandra Bose's soul found out a divine way to command the rightly deserved attention its master missed.

Go GoOGOL Logo

The IT Giant Switched to a new logo, Whoa!

Well the new logo does have a great childlike appeal. But what about the fact that the previous logo combined all possible shades ranging from colorful appeal to professional look

Difficult to make out why the company did so. Was it the result of a hierarchical change or the signs of yet another step ahead ...   ?

As I am a little lazy to Google it out I'll take it for the playful nature of the Googlers. Let me instantiate it with the Burning Man story. On course of their journey to the search revolution, one day, Larry and Sergey decided to go to Burning Man. To notify the break they made a small glass as a doodle on the website. Might be that their successors are going on the same track. Its reasonable that when they didn't worry much about it, why do I pain my brain ;)

So if the readers are also unnecessarily wondering about the same I'll give you something else as a food for thought. What does the company name actually mean ? I'll leave this as a puzzle, infact kind of mathematical puzzle. Double meaning intended dear friends! Okay I give an explicit hint :). Its there in the title

An obituary to the immortal from the lesser mortal

Smiling is infectious,
you can catch it like a flu

Someone started smiling at me
and I started smiling too


With an actual 'million dollar smile' Dr. Kalam symbolised the true innocence expected of a scientist at heart. Unfazed by all the attention he loved nothing else but the pursuit of scientific beliefs. And he promoted them in the society effortlessly. Probably, that is why, Allah gave him his 'Jannat' at the right place.

Long back, as a kid, I was in Mysore to present my Science Project. The National Children Science Congress air was too heavy with the chants of 'His excellency President APJ Abdul Kalam'.It was a delight to know a President getting face to face with the scientific community. Though it did come as a surprise for the common political scene of Bharat.

As years passed by it came to me as a sanatan satya that Respected Kalam Sir was the noblest of souls humanity could ever be blessed with. I remember reading his interview wherein he said that making some physical aids for the 'differently abled' brought him 'Anand'. And let me add the fact that the 'Wings of Fire' brought him no less Nirvana. But quite usual to the pursuit of a Yogi, Dr. Kalam never fell complacent. He would keep taking new projects like Igniting Young Minds and infact the entire nation as a President. If one wonders how come a scientist in the world of Poli-tricks, may please give me a chance to quote Swami Vivekanand. He said it is us humans who have drawn the boundaries between Arts, Sciences and various fields. Kalam Sir must have taken it as POLITICAL SCIENCE.

If one was to limit Kalam Sir's personality adjectives would fall short. For he diminished the boundaries between a kid and elderly, between scientist and politician, between Muslim and Hindu, between war and peace..........and I wonder between heaven and earth. For a simple reason, he lived on earth as if there were no Kalyug

Hafiz apni boli mohabbat ki boli, na Urdu, na Hindi, na Hindustani


RIP Dr. Kalam

मन की बात ,इक पुण्यात्मा के इतिहास के साथ

ये मेरे दिल की आवाज़ है भाईसाब ।सब तक पहुँचाने का प्रयास है। आप भी सुन रहे हो ना ? क्यों, सुन रहे हो के नहीं  ?    


रीतियाँ दहल उठीं रूढ़िवादियों ने भृकुटि तानी थी
चिकित्सा विज्ञान परिभाषाएँ जिसे बदलानी थी
बृज के हर मुँह से जो हमने सुनी कहानी थी
सुनो दास्ताँ उसकी जो हस्ती जानी-मानी थी

एक बार बंसल क्लासेज़ कोटा के संस्थापक श्री वी.के.बंसल को एक दुर्लभ व्यक्ति की खबर मिली । उनको एक ऐसे अध्यापक का नाम बताया गया जो अकेला ही XII विज्ञान तक के सभी विषय पढ़ाकर साल दर साल मेरिट लिस्ट में वर्चस्व जमाए हुए था। कोटा क्षेत्र में कोचिंग क्रांति का प्रथम अन्वेषक स्वयं उस शख्स से संपर्क कर बैठा । ज़रा सोचिये अगर उनको मेरे नानाजी आदरणीय बल्लभ भाईसाब के संपूर्ण व्यक्तित्व की जानकारी अगर होती तो क्या कोई विद्दुत तरंग के आवेग से कम झटका लगता ?

जजमान! आप शायद जानते होंगे की प्रिय भाईसाब तो विज्ञान क्या वाणिज्य से लेकर कला भी इस सरलता से अपने शागिर्दों के मन मष्तिष्क में बैठा देते थे कि वो कक्षा और खेल के मैदान को एक ही समझने लगे थे।या यूँ कहूँ कि हमारे स्टीफन हॉकिंग का वो अनकहा गुरुकुल तो अनजाने में ही अपने मननकर्ताओं का संपूर्ण व्यक्तित्व विकास भी निशुल्क ही करता था । दोस्तों! सच बोलूं तो भाईसाब के यहाँ अध्ययन से लेकर कार्यान्वयन, क्रंदन से लेकर आंदोलन, चिंतन से लेकर अभिव्यंजन, या यूं कहूँ कि चार दीवारों के बीच ही पुरे संसार का भ्रमण ही हो जाता थ। पुरानी मण्डी के उस कल्पनालोक का पूर्ण विवरण और अल्फ़ाज़ों में सीमित करके मैं उसके अनुयायिओं के ह्रदय में चोट नहीं करना चाहता । 

भाईसाब के बारे में  जानने का जिनका पहला मौका है उनको मैं बता दूँ  कि भाईसाब का स्वयं का जीवन तो एक मूक तख़्त तक ही सीमित था । जी हाँ , हिण्डौन का ये  क्रन्तिकारी शिक्षाविद चल नहीं सकता था । तालीम लेने एक समय जोधपुर निकला हिण्डौन का एक मेधावी छात्र बल्लभ राम गुप्ता एक साइकिल दुर्घटना मैं निशक्त हो बैठा । कुछ ही क्षण में प्रकृति ने उसका जीवन ही बदल दिया। तो वे औरों का जीवन बदलने चल पढ़ा। पल पल डॉक्टरों के कथनों को निरर्थक साबित करते इस मानव ने ज़िन्दगी को इस ज़िंदादिली से जीना शुरू किया कि पलक झपकते ही साधारण सा हिण्डौन क़स्बा शिक्षा के गढ़ में और बी.आर.गुप्ता  बल्लभ भाईसाब में तब्दील हुए। उसके बाद तो भाईसाब ने इतिहास पे इतिहास रचे जो कि राष्ट्रपति पुरस्कार से लेकर निशक्तों में एक दुर्लभ जीवन, जन आंदोलन से लेकर जागरूकता मिशन तक सीमित नहीं थे। साथ ही साथ में हिण्डौन में इंजीनियर, डॉक्टर और प्रशासनिक अधिकारी बनाने का तो एक कारखाना सा ही डाल दिया । पर दोस्तों! अपने ओजस्वी व्यक्तित्व से भाईसाब ने कितने इंसान बना दिए क्या इसको हम कभी गिन पाएंगे ? जैन दर्शन में एक बात कही गयी है कि मानव बनके जन्म लेना कोई जीत नहीं किन्तु मानवता हासिल करना एक विजय है । तो जिस प्रकार भाईसाब ने इतने इंसानों को बनाया क्या वे एक बाज़ीगर नहीं हुए ? आप ही बताईये मित्रों हुए के नहीं ?

अपने निजी जीवन में भी भाईसाब इतने ज़िंदादिल थे की सबकी आँखों का तारा ही रहे । बल्कि उनके आभामण्डल का प्रकाश ऐसा तीव्र था कि उनके पेशेवर संपर्क, विद्यार्ति और रिश्तेदार सब एक होकर बल्लभ-भाईसाब-परिवार का ही हिस्सा बन गए । बल्कि भाईसाब का प्यार ऐसा असीमित रहा की बच्चे से लेकर बूढ़े , नर से लेकर नारी, भाजपा से लेकर कोंग्रेस और हिन्दू से लेकर मुसलमान इस सामंजस्य से जुड़े की सीमाएँ और विभाजन अपना अस्तित्व ही खो बैठे । और ऐसे क्रांति को छेड़ रहे हमारे भाईसाब को शायद कभी एहसास ही ना हुआ कि वो आम मानव से अलग होकर एक उच्च पायदान पर पहुँच चुके थे । तभी तो वे एक साधारण व्यक्ति , अपने प्रिय मित्रों एवं विद्यार्थियों को समान शालीनता से मिलते थे । एक आदर्श इंसान को परिभाषित करते महापण्डित Rudyard Kipling ने लिखा है :
                If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
                Or walk with Kings - nor loose the common touch,
                If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
                If all men count with you, but none too much;
उन्होंने शायद इन पँक्तियों समेत किपलिंग की पूरी कविता को कागज़ से उठकर यथार्थ में ही बदल दिया था ।

इस विशिष्ट मनुष्य को यह दिव्य ऊर्जा आखिर मिली कहाँ से ?शायद स्वयँ काल से समय समय लड़कर । हर एक अवधि के बाद भाईसाब को एक जानलेवा रोग घेर लेता था और वो हँसते हँसते उस लड़ाई से जीत जाते थे । और साथ में आदर्श भारतीय नारी विद्या की देवी मेरी अम्मा अपना सब कुछ त्याग जीवन भर जिस प्रकार उनके साथ रहीं शायद काल ही विवश सा होने लगा था। तभी इस मर्तबा उसने एक अलग ज़रिया अपनाया । समय समय कई व्याधि देने के बजाय उसने इस बार भाईसाब को एक समय में ही कई रोगों से ग्रस्त किया । शायद वो लड़ाई ज़ल्द ही जीत जाता लेकिन ईश्वर ने अपने दूत श्री ड़ॉ राधेश्याम गुप्ता को तलब कर अलग खेल खेला । ज्ञान, स्नेह और हट का वे ऐसा मेल साबित हुए कि सच में समझ आया की भारत में डॉक्टर को भगवान क्यों कहा जाता है । पल पल की जीवन मरण के बीच की इस लड़ाई में एक आदर्श पुत्री और डॉक्टर का ऐसा साथ मिला की काल फिर पराजय स्वीकार करने वाला था । पर हम सब जानते हैं कि मानव जीवन के चक्र का आखिरी पड़ाव क्या है । हुआ वही जो विधि का विधान था  --

मिला तेज से तेज  इस तेज के वो सच्चे अधिकारी थे  । 

ॐ शांति |

If the India Pak World Cup clash were to trace a different trajectory....Ik Aman Ki Asha

With a prolonged deafening silence in the Third Umpire's

Chamber time has seemed to slow down a little. Everyone is

casting a glance on the other in a hope that they will ease

the tense air with their words.

Within the walls of the commentory box
Wasim Akram : Harsha, agreed that MS's fitness has been in

question in recent past. Also agreed that it is absolutely

the right of the respective country to select their leader.

But I am absolutely perplexed at the fact that MS has cited

mesniscus tear as a reason for sending Virat Gali(VK) in his

place. Harsha, you yourself had similar issues during your

college days. How far does this all make sense to you ?

Harsha : Haha! well I am not competent enough to figure this

out for my little knowledge in orthopaedics. But yes, my

meniscus tear took months to reach such levels that I would

not walk or sit easily. Wasim can we make an effort to read

between the MS's lines.

Wasim : Its apparently quite clear that MS isn't absent for

this reason. But what makes him give such a bad excuse all

of a sudden. My goodness! is he escaping to be a part of

this probably the most critical meeting ever in cricket

history.

Harsha : Ah! no way we can be sure about this. But yes

history and psychology heavily do suggest the fact that this

there is no easy way out of this decision. Whenever you

deliberate on India-Pak issue hardly any solution has

surfaced. More than that whichever way the decision has been

there has been dissatifaction in the public. The simple

reason being that the India Pak relation has crossed the

yield point already. Now whichever leader makes compromise,

their fans/citizens create a chaos. Who doesn't know the

national frenzy over decisions of Lal Bahadur & Zulfiqar

Bhutto. One made peace , the other war but nonetheless

regretted their moves.

Wasim : But it is so pitiful that much contrary to the

spirit of sportsmanship our cricket too has got contaminated

like politics. I am sure that an intellectual like yours

must have pondered over the unfortunate ways India Pak

clashes are seen by the people.


Meanwhile, the feed from commentory box goes live again on

Star Sports.

Harsha : Dear fans, welcome back to Star Sports.
It has been quite some time since the meeting between

officials and team representatives began. But there hasn't

been any outcome yet. The chair umpire has briefed both

India and Pak leaders about the ICC Rules. But there being

no solution he has decided to leave the fate of the match to

a common decision of India & Pak. Put in other words due to

the limitations of hotspot technique the umpires could not

make out whether there was a knick or not. Therefore

Misbah-UlZuluul-Buck & Dhoni have been asked to sit togethor

and decide on what actually happened. Howevor, VK has come

to represent India on the ground that Dhoni is suffering

from injury. Until now, both have hardly given any

statements.

Wasim : To all those fans who missed the final moments of

the match. Inspite of India batting quite well Pakistan was

always in the scene. The situation in the last few overs got

quite close. And to everyone's surprise Pak was two run

short of victory at the penultimate ball. On the last ball

Afridi was at crease. He tried cutting the ball for a

boundary but the ball passed quite close to his bat and went

straight to Dhoni's gloves. Pak managed taking a single.

What happened thereafter is deserves attention. India

appealed for a catch and the ground umpries had to refer it.

Snickometer technique did show a something when the balled

passed by Afridi's bat but it could not made out whether

that was from pad or bat. After few minutes both captains

alongwith the umpires met in the commentory box. As Harsha

briefed you the umpire could not take a decision based on

the recording. Now the result has to come based on Misbah &

Virat's interaction
Stay tuned to Star Sports for the Updates, Good Bye from

Wasim
The commentory box is disconnected again. Siddhu enters a

short while later

Siddhu : Tha main jab Punjab main tapta tha ladkiyan tot,
Guruuuuuuu tha main jab Punjab main thoonkta tha ladkiyan

tot

Aj to maidaan main barood bina ho raha hai visfot


Wasim : bhaijaan, allah se dua hai Virat aur Misbah tamam

ranjishein bhula dosti ka paigam badaeiyen.

Siddhu : oye, ho gayi peer parvat si pighalni chahiye
is himalaya se koi ganga vayeguru nikalni chahiye

Harsha interrupts all of a sudden. Says do not build castles

in air. He can still see that VK & Misbah are hardly making

any moves.
Time is passing by and an indefinite lull looms over the

commentory box and Chair Umpire's chamber.


Wasim : Siddhu, bhai tu to manega hindustani janabon ne

gandh to machayi hi hai. Ghaasfoos khake jeete hain aur Apni

aurat tak ko kaboo main rakhna jaante nahi. Vatan par kya

lagam kasenge.

Harsha feels a deja vu.

Siddhu : You have no idea how divine is the feeling of being

pure vegeterian. Meet the Indian Sadhus and find out

yourself. As for women, you bloody rape and marry your own

sisters. How far is it any justice.

Wasim : Who dosent know the story of Asharam and other

Indian Sadhus, dont talk about Indian monks. And better not

tell me about rapes. India is the only country where rape

has been committed with both a 3 month and 83 year old girl.

Certain voices start echoing in Harsha's mind. He starts

losing his consciousness gradually.

Siddhu : Statistics are like mini skirts my dear friend.

They reveal more than they should.


There is silence in the room again.

Naseem Malik(Malik) : oye Murgule! teri.... Sale

Hindustani! statistics ki .... terko pata hai na haryana

main sex ratio ki ..... gayi hai. aur kyon nhi hogi.

ladkiyon ko paida hoti hai maar dete hain. Waise acha karte

hain, jo zinda reh jaati hain unki zindagi maut se badtar

hoti hai


Murgule : oye bhai bhagwan ke naam par bas kar

Malik : abe tujhe pata hai na ke tumhare RAW ke bande Pak

main gand machate hain. maine PTV pe dekha ki 40 RAW

officers Pak main dekhe gaye.unko jasoosi karte pakda gya.

Murgule is quite unhappy to know about this behaviour of

India. But just forces his head not to nod in favor of

Malik. He is pretty sure his team would not tolerate this.

He feels choking for the animosity and confusions between

the two nations. For all the time he has spent in Mortund as

an intern or for all his intellectual capacity he just

cannot see the two nations apart. But there is hardly anyone

in his circle with whom he can even discuss his views

freely. He knows the definiton of nationalism has shifted

from layind down ones own life to taking that of other. He

knows cursing each other and cheering for cricket team has

unfortunately become a part of culture. Murgule succumbs to

the pressure and starts condemning Pakistan

Murgule : Listen, one disease that has plagued your nation

is something you yourself prove. The way you talk shows the

isolation of Pak from modern manners and civilisation. Yes,

the sex ratio in Haryana is low but what about your nation.

I don't know if you even have money to conduct such surveys.

And don't talk about PTV network at all. Its simply a Pro

Terrorism Video network.


Malik : Interrupts Murgule. Bh**we ki Nas** . Terrorism ki

baat na kar. Tumhari pictures aur leaders ne jane kya samajh

rakha hai



To be continued.....

NEWTON'S LAWS OF MOTION TAUGHT BY OBAMA

Well, President had cancelled the Agra visit not to visit Saudi but to be see BITS Pilani. He gave a lecture in memory of a late Physics Professor here. Akin to the Western style of a low student ratio he too has only 3 pupils namely SRK, Lalu and Kharab Osama

Prez starts....Be it politics, films or even religion, all follow the fundamental laws of motion of Physics. For eg. if you attack America, America attacks you. This will be explained by the 3rd law.

(Kharab Osama(KO) scratches his beard. Inshaallah! this retard will take ages to resolve my doubt with this start. SRK and Lalu find pleasure in his discomfort)

All of a sudden SRK gets up. President! I don't like listening much, give me the gist. My name is Khan and I am not a terrorist.

Prez : Yes I can. The self proclaimed King of Bollywood made similar romantic flicks UNTIL AND UNLESS compelled to CHANGE DIRECTION by the industry's market FORCE. The
1st law of motion explains this. It states that a body wants to be in the same state of rest or motion until an external agency causes it to change the course.

SRK : Umm, prob Prez has seen only the NRI stuff. Use kya pata Kabir Khan hi Baazigar hai.


KO contemplates. Prez paas to aye, yuun samjhay par aur samay na lag jaye.
Dichkiyaoon, KO has shot in the air. States 2nd law of motion himself. The amount of force acting on a particle is directly proportional to the rate of change of momentum. You kafirs started the lecture with no force. There was a small change in our learning. I shot a bullet, notice how fast the momentum of class changes.

Lalu's day dreaming of forging another scam are interrupted by the screech.
Wonders, sasura eeee kawn burbark hai.

Prez hastes to the 3rd law. Passively gazing toward KO he states that "If bloody jihadists attack the Unites States, the States retaliates with equal force. To every action, there is equal and opposite reaction"

The lecture is yet not over..... Lalu ponders where does the chain of reaction stop. The reaction of Russia US animosity was birth of terrorist havens. In turn that breeded the 9/11. Next came the US attack on Taliban.

That means violence never ends! . Asks dear Prez if religion is rather ushering the doom.



Kyuun! Fas gaye re Obama!
