Eternal love...

                  

                    Eternal love...

Closed my eyes &

I could see you there,

My heart does whisper

You are everywhere…

       I've come across you

       For a million times,

       I sing your love

       In my every rhyme…

I close my eyes &

I could sense you again,

Whenever my life

Goes through insane  …
        you take away
        my shedding tears,
        stick around me
        with my every fear...
I know for once

Love is gonna be true,

Waiting for the perfect day

When I will meet you…

              You are my sunshine

        The man of my life,

        Come and evince me

        All are not alike
I am distressed
And mad at you,
You’re away for so long
Without any clue …

       Come and hold me

       Before I breakdown,

       Hold me tight &

       Never turn around…
Bring me back
My losing faith,
Come and say
You’ll eternally stay…

Indian culture today:-a myth or a Reality

     Indian Culture today:-a myth or a reality?

“Perhaps in return for conquest, arrogance and spoliation, India will teach us the tolerance and gentleness of the mature mind, the quiet content of the inquisitive soul, the calm of the understanding spirit, and a unifying, a pacifying love for all living things. "

These gilded words are stated by the great American historian Will Durant. These are not the mere words stated for the estimation of India. Many of the well-versed aliens consented its charm. Doubtless, its culture is the only fortitude of mother India that led her to confront various alien attacks, be it Britishers, Portuguese or north-west invaders, she endured them all & still didn’t lose her originality. Then India was known for its compassion, even now she is acknowledged for its tender heartedness. What is so special about it that imparts distinguishable India?  It’s none other than India’s culture and humanity that we Indians share for every living, that tenderness which gives solace to every distressed life. Today India may not be gilded dominion anymore but its people still do bear a golden heart. As Gandhiji well uttered: -

 “A nation's culture resides in the hearts and in the soul of its people.”

 Sometimes, this younger generation might be disappointing by not delivering enough respect to their elders or not being sensitive enough towards needy. But if we heed, aren’t they impulsive and brisk because of their transitional stage of life? In the long run they also get colored into Indian culture Certainly at the time of deviation this closely knit social system of India does work. Isn't it astonishing that India is the only country with a tradition where three generations live, love and laugh together by sharing same home, culture and thoughts? This is the one priceless moral value that India is carrying & because of this our esteem elders will never let this young India to turn away from those values for which we Indian pride.

 Now, tolerance is another very precious part of Indian culture, especially mother’s of Mother India are canvassed as deities for an era because of their forbearance. Today somewhere India is lacking in this part & need to enhance its endurance. Certainly, life has been overbusy than it ever used to be but is it fair enough to lose our forbearance over someone (something) which has never been a part of our rage? Today’s India surely need to learn to be bit more serene & to enhance their degree of tolerance as well as acceptance for they want themselves to be treated well. As well said: -

 “The evil you do remains with you, the good you do comes back to you”

Now if we give a gaze on unity and secularism, who else can beat India? India always had unity in diversity. India has always given privilege to all assortments, be it language, culture, religion or anything, India impart liberality to all. Even in today’s India unity in diversity has strengthened as the government gives the privilege to all Indians & heed on necessary amendments. Democracy is the most powerful weapon in favor of secularism; it conveys the opportunity to Indians to utter their thoughts. Democracy allows eruptions but manages to avoid major violent outbursts. it is a matter of pride that India represents one of the most powerful democracy in this world. Later in the century Westernization of Indian culture began, but it was stemmed by the efforts of Raja Ram Mohan Roy, Dayananda Saraswati, Swami Vivekananda, Aurobindo, etc. Then there took place Renaissance that emphasized the need to recognize the country’s own culture while ushering in an age of modernity. If India’s culture tended to become tolerant, accommodating, open-minded, (deeply but not ostensibly) spiritual and concerned with the common human welfare, then it is due to the great and relentless efforts of great ancestors and leaders. Thanks to them our country has achieved a common culture, despite a staggering pluralistic society. India’s culture is still flourishing as it is being enriched by some modern improver but none of its ancestral customs has diminished.
