INDIA·S DESTINATION

´Where the mind is without fear

And the head is held high«

Into the heaven of freedom, let my country awakeµ

Wrote Rabindranath Tagore a century ago .

He and our leaders dreamt

That free India was a prize

That would overcome all daily strife

And for this dream they,

Their whole lives spent...

Today my India is on the move,

But cowed by poverty, populace and corruption

Her glorious legacy is reeling under disruption

And time will and must express

The seething talent amongst our youth

To win accolades and many patents Which no tyranny of the strong nor weak can repress

Those who now seek to divide and stratify

Must and will one day nature·s law do ratify

And stand up in the nation·s court to testify

´The glory of India, her children will verify.µ

The heritage and prayers of saints harken

And as per the divine instruction

The masses will awaken and function

Water, electricity, roads everyone will receive

Educations will nature the mind to perceive

«.that everyone·s soul is light to heighten

We will fight to banish all reptiles

To make our hallow land again fertile

Our destination will be

Our courage, dignity and prosperity to reclaim

To place my India on the road to acclaim«

MOVIE REVIEW :

AARAKSHAN

Amidst all the political outcry about

the supposedly inappropriate

depiction of the reservation issue inthe country and a ban on release in a

few states, Aarakshan was finally

released on 12th August 2011.

Directed by Prakash Jha , the film is a

socio-political drama based on the

issue of caste based reservation.

Prabhakar Anand (Amitabh

Bachchan), principle of a reputed

institute, Shakuntala Thakral

Memorial (SMT); is an idealistic manand has a soft corner for the

students from the underprivileged

castes though his selection policy

takes into account the really

disadvantaged children. He comes

across as a real hero in todays world

where according to him a parallel

commercial vyavastha of education

in the form of private coaching is

seemingly destroying everything. He

strongly condemns it.

Deepak Kumar(Saif Ali Khan),

Anands favorite student is a self

made man. Belonging to the Dalit

society, with Anands support the

man attains the treasure of

knowledge but yet his caste remains

a constant hurdle in his life. Deepak

is in a relationship with Anands

daughter Purbi ( Deepika Padukone)

who seems to have everything in life,

a great family, true love and a great friend in Sushant Seth (Prateek

Babbar) who is the son of an

influential trustee of SMT.

Mithilesh Singh(Manoj Bajpayee) is a

Professor in SMT, a complete

opposite of Anand. Though highly

qualified, education is just a business

to him. Along with corrupt

politicians he plans to set up an

empire in this business

Amongst all this the Supreme Court

gives its historical decision about the

27% reservation for OBCs whichunleashes a social turmoil. Nobody

can remain untouched by its

influence. Anand is in a dilemma

whether to support the reservation

or not but all through it he sticks to

his ideals- siddhant . The story

revolves around Anands life and all

other issues are woven within it.

The movie begins by focussing on

the reservation issues but slowly

deviates to the evil of private

coaching and shows money minded

teachers and politicians to be the

root cause for the need of

reservation. It highlights the

importance of improving primary

education for the underprivileged

rather than blind caste based

reservation which is just being

misused.

The movie has power packedperformances by Amitabh Bachchan

and Manoj Bajpayee, weaving a new

rivalry. Saif Ali, Deepika and junior

Babbar provide good support. The

movie also boasts of a guest

appearance by Hema Malini. Some of

the dialogues like Bajpayees Aap

the zero, hain zero aur hamesha

rahenge sirf zero promise to be all

time great. The music is just OK.

In Anands words Is desh mein doBharat baste hain, the movie tries to

show a path to bridge the gap

between the two.

From The Heart......

by John George on Friday, July 15, 2011 at 2:30am

How much tragedy can one man be expected to countenance

before he calls it quits & lays down his final armour --Hope??? ..The answer to

that question would be Dr Shejoy. Stripped of his reputations, his livelihood,

losing a beloved parent, the hardest hits t hat fate can deal out.

Reinstatement satisfies only a part of what justice in full demands. The pain

of being labelled ' tainted' can only be eased when respect is fully restored .

That is what we owe him

"Only once in a while do we get an opportunity to be

a part of a change and yet, these are not possiblewithout honest leaders or dedicated supporters have

spent last few days among best of both of these. Proud to

have been a part of this revolution!!" said Dr Shinde. When the

horizon appeared darkest. His words echoed the spirits of a leadership that

refused to crumble before threats & defied the quicksand of frustration in the

face of deceit

For those of us who wished to, the lessons to be learned were

many, Dr Debjyoti's attitude of jumping in with both feet though the depths

were as yet unknown, Dr Parag with his incisive views, Dr Bhowmik & Dr

Shinde feeding the spirit of revolution & Dr Sudipto ready to hold on till the

end and beyond. This is a victory of all d student fraternity at AIIMS .

We wanted justice n we finally got it, Dr Shejoy is back ...

These are the stalwarts of our generation and to have stood

shoulder to shoulder with them fills me with a deep joy and self respect that

comes from leaving something precious that posterity can inherit inspiration

from, over the years...Jai Hind...



Hindustan Meri Jaan...

Do you know that...!!!

Alexander the Great invaded India partly because he wanted to solve themystery of the ³ocean,´ which he had been told was a huge, continuous seathat flowed in a circle around the land. When he reached the Indian Ocean, hesacrificed some bulls to Poseidon for leading him to his goal .

Chandragupta Maurya (340-290 B.C.), a leader in India who established theMauryan Empire (321-185 B.C.), was guarded by a band of women on

horseback

When the first independent prime minister of India, pacifist Jawah arlal Nehru(1889-1964), was featured in Vogue, his distinctive close fitting, single-breasted jacket briefly became an important fashion statement for the Modmovement in the West. Named the Nehru jacket, the prime minister¶s coatwas popularized by the Beatles and worn by such famous people as JohnnyCarson (1925-2005) and Sammy Davis Jr. (1925-1990).

Many such facts make our nation unique and us proud of it« But

even if it would have been some barren piece of land, I thinkthat I would have loved it just the same because it my home.

One place where I am always going to find peace at the end«
