Are we truly Aatmanirbhar?

-

Dear Readers,

Out with the old, in with the new: may you be happy the whole year through. Happy New Year!(I think that the sweetness in you will overlook my late wishes:))



All what I gather from the platter of my news daily served to me is that India has taken a new call towards self sufficiency. Well I think that the Indians who would be reading my blog would not be new to "Aatmanirbhar Bharat" concept.This has indeed become a common household name!

But to accept the grim truth, this is yet another cynical gimmick of the big fat Indian polticians!We all had become free from the cluthes of the foreign rule about 75 years ago but in reality we are still a caged bird stooping behind the bars. Well few might argue with me, but according to my observations we are loosing our reliance. Let us talk about entertainment industry. India has always held the coveted award of producing the most films in the world in a year. Mumbai-the city of dreams- had provided fuel to the households of  thousands of artisians but the scenario has become topsy-turvy now. The multi-crore business houses like AmazonPrime and Netflix are the emerging game setters and sadly all the revenue they earn is drained to first world nations.There are almost 15 million users of these big companies! The number seems mind blogging,right? But now multiply it with another Rs. 200 and you get their monthly revenues. This is just a trailer and in the upcoming years these might jeopardise the incomes of lakhs of Indian artisians!


When every other Indian dreams of wearing those exquisite foreign stuff what can we expect from our dear poor craftsmen? This fact sometimes ripples of a feeling of anguish and contempt in me. Why can't we all as Indians support indigenous products rather than spending lavishly on foreign commodities? If we don't start asking for fancy and sophisticated Indian items then how will people start producing it?

Well when it comes to travelling, we step back from making any travel plans in India although India is one of  most beautiful place in the world! Everyone wants to visit Venice and Thailand although places like Allepy and Goa are awaiting to be explored  in our own homeland! 

Let us turn the tide now! Being educated Indians, we can really make a difference.I believe that everyone better knows their role in making our country truly independent and it needs no explaination. Remember,"Divided we fall, United we stand."




LET US REDRESS THE BALANCE AND CONCEIVE OUR DREAMS TO REALITY!!!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY...

 Dear Readers, Happy Mothers Day to all the cool moms out there!  Mothers are walking angels on Earth. They wake up before the alarm clock and sleep after everyone in the house dozes off. They are the sunshine which make the small buds blossom into scintillating flowers. Words can never be the manifestations of their care and selfless love.  Well, as child our mother is the first who hears the tumults of joy and mayhems of our life. But as time fades away and one moves out from his/her abode for career or jobs, the tender connection with one's mother becomes bleak. One becomes so workaholic that calls from one's mother becomes a response sheet. She remains in the same place, throughout the years, becoming more and more grey-haired, waiting for the whole day for that five-minute call. She frets for his/her beloved's welfare but does one show even 0.01% care for her?  Dear readers, remember that she is growing old too. I think that everyday is MOTHER'S DAY. Do we reall...

Hopelessness?

-
 The small world of mine seems to have been dwindled into hopelessness. Online classes have been called off till further notice. The reason behind these doldrums is COVID-19, which has spread its pangs on the entire India. Pathetic indeed! On contemplating deeply, the small problems   issues that I face are a mere trifle in front of the hardships being faced by the entire world. Here I am worried about my career but some people don't have access to a proper square meal of a day. The wish to travel around and enjoy the bounties of nature seems quite selfish. There exist a myriad of people who are isolated within the four walls due to testing positive in the PCR test. The taken-for-granted gift of being with family with all members smiling and blossoming in good health is definitely an ultimate blessing in a world where families- the 'heartbeat' of an individual lie shattered due to loss and grief. My soul is tormented every time I hear the death of anyone-be it a stranger or...

Failure and Success-Two Imposters Of Life?

The summer came and bestowed me with all warmth and light, nourishing me with mirth and jocoundness. But then came the rain snatching away all the sunshine but a merry-devil it was! It gifted me with water which made me brawny and sturdy so that I could face the void of autumn. The fall made me melancholic but I was still a fighter. I fought with my emotions so that I could celebrate the pulchritude winter and be as calm and placid as snow. Then I encountered the most charming spring that filled me with youth and made me realise that all pain was worth the gain. I was the Sun who needed to rise every morn and spread the first blush of hope in the gray sky which was partly of despair and partly of joy. I always burnt with the brightest flame so as to become a beacon to myself !                                                           ...
