    माना की मां- बाप भगवान होते है, पर फिर हमारी काबिलियत को औरो से क्यों नापते हैं? माना की मां - बाप हमें सबसे ज़्यादा प्यार करते हैं, पर फिर हमारे प्यार को ना समझने की गलती क्यों करते हैं? माना की मां - बाप हमारे सबसे बड़े समर्थन प्रणाली होते है, पर फिर किसी अनियोजित घटना के वक्त हम उनसे ही क्यों डरते है? माना की मां- बाप हर ऊच- नीच में साथ रहते है, पर फिर वो हमें हमारी बुराइयां गिनाते वक्त अच्छाईयां क्यों भूल जाते हैं? माना कि हर मां - बाप के लिए उसका बच्चा सर्वोच्च होता है, पर फिर अगर  वहीं बच्चा गलती से किसी लक्ष्य तक पहुंचने में असफल हो जाए तो  नालायक क्यों कहलाता है? माना की हर मां- बाप का सपना होता है अपने बच्चों को ऊचाईया छूते देखना, पर फिर भाई साहेब यह समझना क्यों कठिन होता है की ऊचाईयो तक पहुंचने में "वक्त" लगता है?  हर मां- बाप से मेरे कुछ सवाल है - भारत को आजाद हुए ७३ वर्ष हो चुके, समय का पहिया आगे बढ़ता जा रहा है, इसी के साथ विश्व भर में पतियोगिता का स्तर अलग ही ऊचाईया छू रहा है। लेकिन फिर भी, फिर भी आज आप के लिए बच्चे की आंखो में सफलता की पट्टी ब...

" Another Year; Another hour; Another rape - Hathras incident adds another shame! ”   Every event happens after some stipulated time period  but “Rape” is such a brutal act that happens every another hour, minute and second. This case of Hathras Gang rape is not only a case of rape but also an attempt to subjugate the so called low-caste people, not only to subjugate low caste people but also an attempt to destroy the evidence by forcing an unethical cremation of the victim at 2:30 A.M. without even the presence of family,  not only an attempt to destroy the evidence but also to violate freedom of expression and speech of victim's family by smashing Section 144 in the village and not allowing anyone to reach or approach the family. U.P. Police A.D.G doing best to make mockery out of his department now by making away all the claims of rape by quoting Forensic investigations, may be he doesn't realise that people might by now don't trust their police at all. This whole t...

  Initially, sincere apologies to all those nationalist readers who jumped into this article thinking nationalism to be something as narrow as is discussed in today's India, as this is not going to be any case. Nationalism according to me is nothing but “feeling of belonging and doing every bit for the nation( more importantly its people)” . Hence, through my lens its not about India but Indians.   This independence day, I tried to revisit the memoirs and challenges of hard carved out Independent India. Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru's speech "Tryst with destiny" delivered on 15th August,1947 still holds relevance and significance as India in 2020 also is battling along the lines of plethora of challenges which it faced at the stroke of independence.   According to World Economic Forum' there are 7 key challenges which India faces currently , I will try to dive into those one by one in this article.   • Education and Skills     India's primary education system refle...

    Today I read a newspaper headline  “All-girls robotics team in Afghanistan designs low-cost ventilator” . It was not at all astonishing for me. Why? Because I believe girls are performing better and are capable of achieving and doing a lot more. On the other hand, if we pay attention to the education for girls during and after Covid-19, it seems worse. Stress, anxiety, depression, job losses of family members have led to a rapid drop outs of students especially girls. If we look back to the ancient times of Maharani Laxmi Bai and other such queens of our land, it sets an example to the bold, fierce and fearless attitude of women those days. Even if we notice today we have list of talented women in every field be it sports, science, politics, media, films, corporate sector etc. In contrast to this, it’s astonishing in this modern times to witness people who tag girls as a  “burden”  and  good for nothing  – except for household chores and takin...

        LIVING PASSION WITH THE BEAUTY OF VILLAGE Clicked by Mayank Patel "A village is a hive of glass, where nothing unobserved can pass." -Charles Spurgeon Village is an adoring product made out of diverse little things. The small bumping creatures, adding magnificent beauty to nature, backed up with heart warming gestures, always ready to the camera's capture. The trinity of beautiful ladies, conversing and walking a 100 miles, carrying a mud stricken pot beside, forcing me to forever reside. Travelling and capturing snapshot is my passion, I am blessed that it was not suppressed amidst this recession, This small little world grabbed my attention, And made me learn to include some distorted and dirt paths in my list of excursion.                                     ...

A 13 year old student studying in class 8 lives in a rented single-room with his parents, only to pursue his school-class education in Satna district of Madhya Pradesh , originally hailing from a nearby village 'Dhankher'. His father works as a mechanic in a car service center but after the imposition of lockdown to curb the spread of coronavirus he was fired by his employer and had no option but to return to his village in order to get his family a two time meal. Consequently after the imposition of lockdown, the teen was asked by the school teachers to join a WhatsApp group and also to attend the touted highly skill developing exciting "Online Education classes". This left the boy with hardly any option but to deal with much agony and grief of not being able to attend his classes which he anyhow managed to attend pre-lockdown. Why was he not able to attend the classes like his other friends on Zoom, Google meet or any other video conferencing and learning apps and s...

Animals are one crucial component of this beautiful ecosystem we live in. We are familiar with this very fact, but still our attitude towards animals is unalterable, it’s menacing .   Our harsh atrocities on this land is turning various species of animals endangered and extinct. We are contributing well to make our place more suffocated and retarded. According to the Red Data Book of International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) there were 47 critically endangered species as on September 2011 and 4 species of fauna has gone extinct in India according to the Wildlife Survey Organisations as per the data tabled by Ministry of Environment, forest and Climate change earlier in July, 2019. The numbers and graphs are steadily increasing with the passage of time. " Animals are not brethren, they are not underlings; they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time."                          ...
