अपने रूठे
मेरे वाक्पटुता पर भी
व खामोशी पर भी
अब तू ही बता ए खुदा
इनके बीच का रास्ता क्या है,
उम्र गुजरी खुद से ज्यादा
उनकी परवाह करने में
हवाइयां उड़ी मेरी जब उन्होंने कहा
‘ मेरे लिए आखिर तुमने किया क्या है ‘,
मैं हूं एक आज़ाद परिंदा
एक दिन उड़ जाना है
जितना मर्जी हंस ले चाहे मुझपर
हिसाब तेरा भी होगा मित्र
बंधु, तेरी हैसियत ही क्या है,
आधुनिकता का तमाचा ऐसा कि
अब इज्ज़त केवल धन की रह गई
हर इंसान से उसका ज़मीर पूछता
‘ बता तेरा दाम क्या है ‘,
इतनी पीड़ा सह ली है
एक दिन सब
बेहतर होने के लालच में कि
आज जब मृत्यु ने पूछा
‘ चलें ‘ ?
तब मैंने कहा
‘ इसमें सोचना क्या है ‘ ॥
GOOD GOVERNANCE DAY: REMEMBERING ATAL JI
Good Governance Day (India): 25 December
Emergence: 25 December 1924
Demise: 16 August 2018
Good Governance Day is observed in India annually on the twenty-fifth day of December, the birth anniversary of former-Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee.bGood Governance Day was established in 2014 to honor Prime Minister Vajpayee by fostering awareness among the Indian people of accountability in government.
Atal Bihari Vajpayee was an Indian statesman who served three terms as the Prime Minister of India, first for a term of 13 days in 1996, then for a period of 13 months from 1998 to 1999, followed by a full term from 1999 to 2004. A member of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), he was the first Indian prime minister not of the Indian National Congress to serve a full term in office. He was also noted as a poet and a writer.
He was a member of the Indian Parliament for over five decades, having been elected ten times to the Lok Sabha, the lower house, and twice to the Rajya Sabha, the upper house. He served as the Member of Parliament for Lucknow, retiring from active politics in 2009 due to health concerns.
During his tenure as prime minister, India carried out the Pokhran-II nuclear tests in 1998. Vajpayee sought to improve diplomatic relations with Pakistan, travelling to Lahore by bus to meet with Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. After the 1999 Kargil War with Pakistan, he sought to restore relations through engagement with President Pervez Musharraf, inviting him to India for a summit at Agra.
The administration of Narendra Modi declared in 2014 that Vajpayee’s birthday, 25 December, would be marked as Good Governance Day. In 2015, he was conferred India’s highest civilian honour, the Bharat Ratna, by the President of India, Pranab Mukherjee. He died on 16 August 2018 of age-related illness.

🎅🌲MERRY CHRISTMAS🌲🎅
Christmas Day ~ 25 December
Christmas (or the Feast of the Nativity) is an annual festival commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ, observed primarily on December 25 as a religious and cultural celebration among billions of people around the world. A feast central to the Christian liturgical year, it is preceded by the season of Advent or the Nativity Fast and initiates the season of Christmastide, which historically in the West lasts twelve days and culminates on Twelfth Night; in some traditions, Christmastide includes an octave.
Christmas Day is a public holiday in many countries around the world and is celebrated religiously by a majority of Christians as well as culturally by many non-Christians. It forms an integral part of the holiday season centered around it.
I wish a very happy christmas day to all in our blogging community! It’s a different christmas this year amidst the pandemic and social distancing. Let’s have a fun-filled holiday season and bring cheers to all…

Christmas Eve ~ 24 December
Christmas Eve is the evening or entire day before Christmas Day, the festival commemorating the birth of Jesus. Christmas Day is observed around the world, and Christmas Eve is widely observed as a full or partial holiday in anticipation of Christmas Day. Together, both days are considered one of the most culturally significant celebrations in Christendom and Western society.
Christmas Eve is celebrated in different ways around the world, varying by country and region. Elements common to many areas of the world include the attendance of special religious observance such as a midnight Mass or Vespers and the giving and receiving of presents. Along with Easter, Christmas time is one of the most important periods on the Christian calendar, and is often closely connected to other holidays at this time of year, such as Advent, the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, St. Nicholas Day, St. Stephen’s Day, New Year’s, and the Feast of the Epiphany.
Among Christians, as well as non-Christians who celebrate Christmas, the significant amount of vacation travel, and travel back to family homes, that takes place in the lead-up to Christmas means that Christmas Eve is also frequently a time of social events and parties, worldwide.

ज़ेहन में सवाल
कई सवाल
ज़ेहन में उठते हैं मेरे
अगर हम जीते हैं तो
जीते क्यों नहीं ?
अगर ईश्वर को मानते हैं, तो
खुद में उसे ढूँढ़ते क्यों नहीं ?
ऐसा व्यवहार दूसरों से
क्यों करते हम
जो खुद संग होते
देख सकते नहीं ?
कहते हैं
जो चीज़ कम होती है
उसकी कीमत बढ़ जाती है
तो ईमान-प्रेम की क्यों नहीं ?
गलत कौन, अगर सब सही हैं
कोई सही भी कैसे जब
अगर कोई गलत नहीं ?
धन, मौका, वक्त, प्रसिद्धि,
प्रेम, इज्ज़त, ज़िन्दगी
जिसको मिलती है
वो कद्र नहीं करता
जो कद्र करता है
उसे मिलती क्यों नहीं ?

Happy holidays…
A DIFFERENT KIND OF LOVE
There are times when I can see myself
through your eyes.
My pale face so in love
aching for the caress of a flaxen
haired boy racing through rolling fields.
Suddenly serious your adventurous eyes
sent yearning shivers through me.
I longed for your touch anytime and
kissed you opened mouth without
permission.
I adored your mock anger when you
chased me and the awkward way
you looked down at your hands.
Soon Autumn threw its shadow on
sprouting wheat, smooth and wet.
Now, I listen to the soft whisper
of your breathing through a half
closed door and know there are
different kinds of love
wild, ruthless, and unafraid.

BENCHMARKING LEADERSHIP

Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 3 Verse 20
कर्मणैव हि संसिद्धिमास्थिता जनकादयः।
लोकसंग्रहमेवापि सम्पश्यन्कर्तुमर्हसि॥
It is essential for a chief executive to keep the approach of the great leaders of the yore in view and perform his duties in a detached way. Such a person eventually sets a laudable example for others to follow. (3.20)
जनकादि ज्ञानीजन भी आसक्ति रहित कर्मद्वारा ही परम सिद्धि को प्राप्त हुए थे, इसलिए तथा लोकसंग्रह को देखते हुए भी तू कर्म करने के ही योग्य है अर्थात तुझे कर्म करना ही उचित है
॥20॥

FALSE PRETENCES OF SPIRITUALITY
GITA WISDOM # 51
दुःखमित्येव यत्कर्म कायक्लेशभयात्त्यजेत्।
स कृत्वा राजसं त्यागं नैव त्यागफलं लभेत्॥
Actions involve efforts. If somebody wants to give up the duties due to the efforts needed, he performs a negative sacrifice. He is a hypocrite. It shall not be deemed to be an elevated path of righteousness. (18.8)
जो कुछ कर्म है वह सब दुःखरूप ही है- ऐसा समझकर यदि कोई शारीरिक क्लेश के भय से कर्तव्य-कर्मों का त्याग कर दे, तो वह ऐसा राजस त्याग करके त्याग के फल को किसी प्रकार भी नहीं पाता
॥8॥
Actions involve efforts. If somebody wants to give up the duties due to the efforts needed, he performs a negative sacrifice. He is a hypocrite. It shall not be deemed to be an elevated path of righteousness. (18.8)
