‘Hamaara Paryaavaran- Hamaara Jeewan’

Hare Ped
Shuddh Jal Vaayu
Paawan Van-Upvan
Inse Hain Banaa
Prakriti ka Santulan

Karo Inkaa Jatan

Chitt Apna Aur,
Pavitra Mann
Sadaa Rahe Prafullit
Yah Sundar Paryaavaran

Ye Hi To Hain Srot
Prerna Aur Utprerna Ka
Bal Ka Saadhan
Jeene Ka Sansaadhan
Urjaa Apne Kartavya Ki,
Aur
Apne ‘Jeewan’ ka
‘Jeewan’

‘हमारा पर्यावरण – हमारा जीवन’

हरे पेड
शुद्ध जल वायु
पावन वन-उपवन
इनसे हैं बना
प्रकृति का संतुलन

करो इनका जतन

‘चित’ अपना और
पवित्र मन ,
सदा रहे प्रफुल्लित
यह सुंदर पर्यावरण

ये ही तो हैं
स्रोत प्रेरणा और
उत्प्रेरणा का ,
बल का साधन ,
जीने का संसाधन
उर्जा अपने कर्त्तव्य की
और
अपने ‘जीवन’ का
‘जीवन’

घोटालों से आगे…

Dear Friends,

We have been constantly reading about rampant Corruption, Scams, and Fraud in our system. TV channels are flooded with latest updates and new’ discovery’ of’ unearthing’ of various ‘scams’ one after the other.

A chronological list of the ‘scams’ with details is already available in media. Catchy headlines such as ‘महा –घोटाला ’, ‘महा –महा घोटाला’ (and to be continued further), keep flashing on TV Channels and in print media.

Now, since ‘corruption’ has become a part of our life, I think we should legalize it and a ‘constitution’ like guidelines can also be implemented for corruption dividing it into ‘positive’ and ‘negative’ corruption. (I shall take it in details in a separate article).
Taking this positive approach and finding the new ‘opportunities’ in ‘corruption’  and thinking beyond the current level the following ‘inspirational’(?) thoughts came to mind.
We can take it further and add corruption to every sphere of our life(it has already reached there) and make applicable to other socio-economic-political –spiritual areas and promote it e.g. ‘excellence in corruption’, ‘awarding corrupt peoples’, film names-songs on corruption(in positive sense), books (best sellers on ‘corruption’), children’s games/toys, dolls, CD/DVD s etc.etc.

And I am confident, only ‘WE’ can develop an International standard on ‘being corrupt’.

Till then enjoy!

घोटालों से आगे………….
(एक भ्रष्टाचारी की आत्मगौरव कविता)

घोटालों से आगे जहान अभी और भी हैं,
भ्रष्टाचार की कहानी के किस्से अभी और भी हैं ,
कैसे कैसे डकारे हमने पब्लिक के करोड़ों रुपये ,
और ढूंढे नए नए नुस्खे पैसे कमाने के,
‘दास्ताँ-ऐ-बेईमानी ‘ तुम्हे सुनाना अभी और भी हैं,

जी चाहता हैं कि नित नए अनुसन्धान करतें रहें भ्रष्टाचार पर,
और करले पेटेन्ट अपनी कारगुजारियों का, ऐसें कि ,
कोई और न कर पाएं नक़ल हमारी बेईमानी की ,
‘आयाम’ दें ‘नए नए’ अपनी ‘काली करतूतों’ को हम,
इसमें असीमित संभावनाएं अभी और भी हैं,

घोटालों का रचें ऐसा इतिहास हम, के सदियों जहान में हों चर्चें हमारे,
और गर्व के साथ कह सके हम कि सबसे आगे होंगे हिन्दुस्तानी,
भ्रष्टाचार की न छोडें गुंजाईश किसी भी संस्था या उप संस्था में,
हर मक़ाम पे लहराएँ पताका हमारे काले कारनामोंकी,
रिश्वत और घूसखोरी की इस राह पर तमाम मंजिलें अभी और भी हैं,

‘गबन’ और ‘घपलों’ के तो राजा हैं हम और ‘एक्सपर्ट’ हैं इस ‘फिल्ड ‘ के,
हमसे बढ़कर कोई क्या बना पायेगा, बना जायेंगे इतने ‘कीर्तिमान’ हम,
अपनी ही तूती बोलेगी ‘रिश्वत’,’घोटालें’,’बेईमानी’ और ‘भ्रष्टाचार’ के क्षेत्र में,
‘गिनीज’ क्या, और ‘ओस्कर ‘ क्या, ‘नोबल’ भी होगा हमारे ही क़दमों में,
हम ही होंगे सबसे आगे और चोटी पर, यह विश्वास हर कदम आज भी हैं,

तुम तो ‘नालायक ‘ हो जो अपनाते नहीं अपने देश को,और तो और,
हर बात या ‘गंभीर समस्या‘ को भी टालते हो कहकर कि ‘अपने बाप का क्या जाता हैं ‘,
पर हम ऐसा नहीं करते, और चाटते हैं खूब गले लगाकर इस देश को इतना,
और लूटते हैं यह मानकर कि जो कुछ भी हैं सब अपने ही बाप का हैं,
जानते हैं हम कि तुम्हारे निठल्लेपन और लाचारी की हदें अभी और भी हैं,

हम तो जी भर कर करतें हैं प्यार इस देश की सम्पदा से इतना कि,
कर जाते हैं ‘व्यवस्था’ अपनी ‘सात’ ‘पुश्तों’ के लिए भी,
तुम तो  बस इसी तरह से देखते रहना तमाशा अपनी बर्बादी का,
और हाथ मलते रहना अपनी नाकामयाबी और नपुंसकता पर,
क्योंकि ऐ दोस्त तुम्हारे पास ‘मसलें’ इस ‘देश’ के सिवा ‘कई और’ भी हैं!

(यह गाथा आगे जारी हैं)

Ganpati Bappa ‘Maria’

-by Scrapwala ,07.11.10

While watching this news on television that ‘US President Barrack Obama-during his visit to Mumbai- had invited Mr.Rakesh Maria –Maharashtra ATS Chief, I feel very proud about this IPS Officer and simultaneously many questions came to my mind viz. Why President Obama was curious to meet Mr. Maria – (breaking the protocol, as he should have called on the DGP) – certainly he would have heard about Mr.Maria and his style of functioning and talent this man possess.(Here we could learn and take inspiration from both of these personalities as they have succeeded against all odds).

Secondly the style of Obama, as we saw him enthusiastically and passionately mixing with our people and very selectively he invited the talented people, which also shows he is eager to share his experience and also learn from their experiences and Third and most important thing according to me is the culture of giving value to hard work and recognize talent, recognizing merit, competency and performance. Whereas in our society the balance is more on the side of sycophancy and carrying undeserving people and not recognizing talent and merit. We tend to ignore and loose talented people during their lifetime and praise them only after when they are no more or we only came to know when they are acclaimed by foreign countries.

I am sure we all would agree that during his 29 years long service in the Indian Police Services Mr. Maria would definitely have gone through all the political pressures and pressures from various influential groups and still he has managed to keep his performance above the level of expectations and still continuing to do better.

I remember when I was doing my college at Akola-Maharashtra in 1983 to 1985; Mr. Maria was posted at Akola as an ASP. He was very popular among the people as he had come down heavily on criminals, the ‘satta/matka’ and on the anti social elements. In Colleges we as Student then use to talk and hear the stories of how disciplined Mr. Maria was and how he got control over the local ‘gundas’.

People in Akola and Students like me used to gather along roads of the ‘City-Kotwali’ to get a glimpse of this man. There is a bridge in Akola near the ‘city-Kotwali’ known as ‘lokhandi-pool’ (Iron bridge, across the ‘Morna’ river,another is ‘dagdi’ pool also a old one), people use to gather every evening on these locations around the ‘City-Kotwali’ to see this tall IPS Officer and that year people celebrated the Ganesh Utsav with much vigor and enthusiasm, the citizens of Akola very happily and cheerfully praise the ‘Ganpati Bappa’ and that year it was ‘Ganpati Bappa – Maria’ all over , instead of ‘Ganpati Bappa – Moria’.

Sustain with Nature

on Environment day… 5th June, 2009

I believe in permanent change which can be achieved
through people’s minds, and mind power

Let our minds be ‘ignited’
as the ‘lightening thunder’ and ‘pure’ as a ‘morning dew’,

Let ourselves be disciplined
as the ‘day-night cycle’,

Let our attitude be positive as the
‘river flows’ , let our acts ‘shine’ as the ’bright sun’,

Let us build our ‘character’
as ‘clean’ as we would like the ‘environment’ to be,

Let we Become ‘sincere’, ‘religious ’,‘impartial’, ‘judicious’ and
‘bountiful’ and ‘equal’ to all  as the ‘NATURE’ is,

Let us be ‘ natural’ as the ‘Nature’

Let We remain behind like the ‘soothing breeze’ and
‘our Memories’ be cherished as the ‘fragrance of flowers’… Forever…
…and No ‘green house effect’ ever ‘Suppress’
our commitments towards the ‘environment’- We live in,

Let we raise a ‘global warning’ for ‘change’ before the
‘climate-Change’ threatens our ‘survival’.

REMEMBER…
‘polluted minds’ create ‘contaminated character’ and ‘hazardous culture’
and increase the ‘societal garbage’
which percolates to generations and ‘Generations’
pay the price through ‘chronic situations’

…hence,

Let the ‘pure’ minds come together to ‘preserve the Nature’
