Happy Krishna Janmashtami 2016

Happy Krishna Janmashtami

Shree Krishna Janmashtami brings with it celebration, hope, happiness and reassurance.
 Everyone aspires their child to be like the eternally cute BalGopal. And they celebrate the birth of Lord Krishna, just as they would celebrate the birth of their own child.
The atmosphere is just magical. There is so much positive energy all around.
I believe, the Lord does come over to enjoy the celebrations, the extravaganza. He is present and is a part of all the festivities. After all it is the Devotees, who make the Lord--the GOD!

भक्त  बिना  क्या  भगवान् ;
भगवान् बिना  क्या  भक्त।
दोनों  एक  दूजे  के  बिना  अधूरे ,
दोनों  एक  दुसरे  के  पूरक।

Tanhaiyon mein aksar----

तन्हाइयों  में  अक्सर ----

 सिर्फ  ख़ामोशी ही  जब बोलती  है , 

 सिर्फ  परछाई  ही  जब  साथी  होती  है,

और किसी के आने  की आस होती है ---

ये  हवाएँ , ये खिड़कियाँ, ये दरवाजे ,

सभी  ख़ामोशी  से कुछ  कह  जाते  हैं--

शायद  किसी के आने  की  खबर  देते हैं---

हम  तो  नादान  ठहरे --

अक्सर  इनकी  बातों में  आ  ही जाते  हैं 

और  दरवाजे  तक भाग  ही आते हैं ---

लेकिन  कौन  समझाए  इस  दिल को ,

आने वाले  खबर  नहीं भेजते ,

वो  तो  बस  आ  ही जाते हैं।

Happy Independence day!

A day of  celebrations and feeling proud,
A day to remember the freedom fighters,
A day of looking ahead and have a vision,
A day to acknowledge our achievements.


May be we belong to different states,
May be we speak different languages,
May be we belong to different religions,
But there is only one sentiment in all of us--
We are Indians first!


No other festival can be as auspicious,
No other party can be as big as this,
No other moment can be as proud as,
Watching the National flag flying high.


Happy Independence Day To All Fellow Indians!
