Congratulations young boys club-AT4.
It has been of 21 month of age today.
In this long period many elections took place. Some state governments changed ... Some big events took place like howdy modi and namaste Trump... One memorable reck84 get together... But nothing changed us much than this covid-19 virus..
Whatever happens in our life leaves its some permanent marks on our behaviour and we recall in our thought whatever bad happened to us earlier as it gives us courage to deal the menace we are facing at present. It is like a therapy "poison kills poison".
One thing is certain in our tough times we miss our near and dears the most... And it is from where we find antidote to our despairs and get refreshed and get courage for a new day.. or new change...
In line of this I have been regularly calling on to some friends and got always a new courage and energy after talking to them. During last 8 weeks of lockdown I have called on to Vishu...and realized as homely feelings as always... Talked to Anil Negi ... The all colours of urban and rural found woven and got inspired... Talked to Dada... Found busy him as usual in preparing Kabab ... might be this time recipe... not live kabab... but felt that he don't care much about Corona... Always a "Mast Maula Saand"... Talked to Keshwani... Found him in good spirits and in full work spree... really found him out of effect of lockdown in his working...
Satish Pandey... A true entrepreneur always in a hope for good... He thinks always out of box... Then Sachin bhai who always admires my writings and always inspires me for better and always full of hope..., Vinod Goyal ... This time was much changed and talked of SriGanganagar after a long time ... means roots was seemed calling him in these tough times... SriGanganagar have lowest effect of corona till today... It was nice to talk to them all and it filled me with so much hope and guided me to see always a ray of hope at the end of a tunnel...
One dream of meeting to Bhuvnesh came but in dream only I could see myself checking his study notes and escaping police by his name's favour...
I have already blogged about this.
Some of us have been directly attached in dealing with corona cricis like Bhuvnesh , Jassi, Banga, Anjan, Suyog, Navneet ... A big salute to all of them. Your contribution in these trying times is a great service to nation
... and proud feelings for all of us.
At personal front corona taught me some new recipes like bundi rayta, lockey rayta, local dry sabzi of mangodi, gwarfali for many days due to blocking of vegetable supplies.
One best thing happened to my son . He has never been spent much time with his grandfather , who is an octogenarian but this time he has spend full fortnight with him... And seen village life very closely ... without my company... He connected well with the rural environment ... This is a happy news as of now to me...
And one last but not least thing which I learnt in corona time is ironing of clothes😀. I never did it before this this.
I would like to conclude with some lines by Gulzar
आदमी बुलबुला है पानी का
और पानी की बहती सतह पर
टूटता भी है डूबता भी है
फिर उभरता है ,फिर से बहता है
न समुंदर निगल सका इसको
न तवारीख तोड़ पाई है
वक्त की हथेली पर बहता
आदमी बुलबुला है पानी का।
Might be 4th lockdown on cards but think positive, stay home, stay safe. We will meet soon again.
Wish you happy days ahead.
With regards
अगस्त 84 एडमिशन ,रैगिंग हुई भरपूर, अभिमन्यु भवन तीर्थ था ,आस्था थी भरपूर। खिचाई तो बहाना था ,नई दोस्ती का तराना था, कुछ पहेलियों के बाद ,खोका एक ठिकाना था । भट्टू ,रंगा ,पिंटू ,निझावन ,मलिक ,राठी , सांगवान और शौकीन इतने रोज पके थे, रॉकी ,छिकारा ,राठी ,लूम्बा भी अक्सर मौजूद होतेथे । मेस में जिस दिन फ्रूट क्रीम होती थी, उस दिन हमें इनविटेशन पक्की थी। वह डोंगा भर - भर फ्रूट क्रीम मंगवाना, फिर ठूंस ठूंस के खिलाना बहुत कुछ अनजाना था, अब लगता है वह हकीकत थी या कोई फसाना था ।। उधर होस्टल 4 के वीरेश भावरा, मिश्रा, आनंद मोहन सरीखे दोस्त भी बहुमूल्य थे , इनकी राय हमारे लिए डूंगर से ऊंचे अजूबे थे। दो-तीन महीने बाद हमने अपना होश संभाला, महेश ,प्रदीप ,विनोद और कानोडिया का संग पाला । फर्स्ट सेमेस्टर में स्मिथी शॉप मे डिटेंशन आला ।। हमें वो दिन याद हैं जब नाहल, नवनीत,विशु शॉप वालों से ही जॉब करवाने मे माहिर थे , तभी से हमें लगा ये दोस्ती के बहुत काबिल थे । थर्ड सेम में आकाश दीवान की ड्राइंग खूब भायी थी, इसीलिए ला ला कर के खूब टोपो पायी थी। परीक्षा की बारी आई तो
One of the best blogs that you have written in recent times.
