Saathi haath badhana, saathi, haath badhana;
ek akela thak jaayega, mil kar bojh uthana,
saathi haath badhana, saathi, haath badhana....
mehnat apni lekh ki diksha,
mehnat se kya darna,
kal gairon ki khatir ki aaj apni khatir karna,
fauladi hain seene apne, fauladi hain bahein,
HAM CHAHE TO PAIDA KARDE CHATANO MAIN RAAHEIN,
saathi haath badhana...
jai ho!ganesh.
P.S. : see you, soon, after some real achievements!

Quo Vadis? Whither goest thou?
Yahaan kaun hain tera, musafir jaayega kahan, dam le le ghadi bhar, ke saiyan, payega kahan, yahan kaun hain, tera, a, aa, aaa!
great S.D. burman! what a soulful rendering.
similarly, the inimitable mukesh!
jeena yahan, marna yahan, iske sivai jaana kahan...!
Life is miserably blissful for the incorrigbly good!
what to do?!
the sitting ducks have to endure it, as long as they won't budge, and continue to be the sitting ducks/good samaritans!
meri duniya hain maa, tere anchal main, sheetal chaya...
again lovely song by burmanda!
jai ho!
ganesh.

The bitter halves?!
Is marriage still an institution, really preferred by the majority?
Today, it is more a case of bitter halves!
neither wants to be the better half!
or is it only something superficially evident in the metros?
A cause for concern, or natural evolution!
In any case, future shock/modernity has cast its ominous shadow over the future of mankind's great social invention : the marriage, the bedrock of family/the unit of society!
is there hope?
are things changing for the better?
should we be concerned?! of just go with the flow?
as in JUST DO IT! and think about repenting later!! if at all!
yahaan main ajnabi hoon, main jo bhi bas wahi hoon.....!
jai hind!
jai ho!
ganesh.

What is true freedom?! When are really independent?!
The inner freedom is not so easily obtained.
Apparently, one is living in a free country, having access to all things bright and beautiful, good and bad and can do as we please, as long as we don't overtly break law!
Is that true freedom? are we really independent?
Some of us are chained to the idea of TOTAL FREEDOM and would not accept any good idea, just for the sake of opposing/their right to dissent/the freedom of expression!
so, some of us maybe be well and truly bonded to freedom! chained by the need to be/look/feel free all the time!
on the other hand, if the inner self is in control, deliberates all options, with a sense of responsibility to oneself and the world around us, then one can truly be free.
The farmer who sits contented at the end of a long, hard day, and looks forward to a good meal, with his wife and kids, and a very unglamorous existence, may be free in the best sense of the term, both physically and mentally. He has no benchmarks to follow/no set path to aspire to!
he is so one with nature!
of course, he loses this independence in these modern times, with GE crops, et. al!
he is truly free, he has a wonderful interdependent relationship with nature and his fellow human beings.
He serves nature well and nature serves him well!
of course, all of us are thankful to the farmers for our daily annam!
Isiliye to Lal Bahadur Shashtri ji ne kahan tha :
JAI JAWAN, JAI KISAN!
jai ho!
Jai hind!
as we wrestle with the dilemma of apparent and true freedom!
one of the remarkable achievements of bharatvarsha has been that even though we were an occupied nation for centuries, through our intellectual brilliance, emotionally and spiritual resilience, we remained free inside! Nobody could invade our minds!
can the same be said in this 62nd year of independence, in the increasingly connected but not-so-free world?!
time will tell!
I am quietly confident that our resilient inner self will reassert itself, sooner rather than later!
thathastu!
tat tvam asi!
jai ho!
ganesh.
