Hi friends!

Have you ever seen a MBA working as a Bank clerk! If not, I am sure you would have heard. Anywhere, in any report, in any magazine, in any newspaper, in any news channel. A day before I also had not seen them- the species only to be found in India. But yesterday I saw. I got astonished when I knew that one of my fellow passengers in train, working in a Public Sector bank as a clerk, has a Masters degree in Business Administration. I had heard a report according to which the most graduates and post-graduates of India are unemployable as per the standards of Job market. I can’t say, my fellow passenger was at the par of required qualities or not. I can’t judge him with the meeting of few hours. But it is not the matter of individuals; it is the matter of concern for system. Something is certainly lacking. Something is really wrong, either with our Education system or with our market. Or if not with them, certainly with the mentality and dreams and visions and hopes of our young generation. Or God knows, may be with all.

I am still wondering how an education system can produce a MBA degree holder, who aspires to be a clerk! I am still wondering how the advertisements and hoax can break the supply –demand chain by producing more MBA’s then their requirement, and even that on sky-rocketing fees. I am still wondering how can a 26 year old, an energetic youth, with freshness in life left his or her hope and instead of struggling and fighting for better opportunities and making the wrong correct, satisfies with the low- profile job. I am wondering. But these are not the end. There are many others things to wonder.

We are not producing enough PhD Holders. We are not providing sufficient talent to ISRO or DRDO. We are not producing enough talents to do research, to be entrepreneur, to work for innovation, to won gold medal in Olympics, to win accolades in Oscar. We are not producing enough Amartya Sen’s. We are not producing enough M.S. Swaminathan’s. We are not producing enough Abhinav Bindra’s, or A.R. Rehman’s or Arvind Adigas. We are not producing enough Ranchoddas Shyamal Das Chanchar to come forward and take his own path, except on the silver screen. Even, we are not producing sufficient doctors and nurses and teachers and professors. Our system is just producing some engineers and some MBA’s. Our talent, our great pool of human resources, our demographic benefit is going to dustbin due to unnecessary rat race to become Engineer or MBA to get a social tag. And inspite of these things we are not worried! Not the society, not the system regulator like UGC or AICTE and not even the government as a policy maker are doing anything significant. We as a nation, as a system, as an entity are sitting dumb. So it is high time to take notice, especially for us- the youth. We, we the younger generation-the youngistan, with all of our spirit and youthfulness, should come forward and should left the beaten track. We should restrain our self to be the part of the rat race. We should use our knowledge, to contribute for something better, even if it creates some difficulties for time being. And at the last, but the most importantly, we should not let our desires die, we should not forbid our dreams, we should not let our potential wasted, and we should not waste our education and knowledge and above all, we should have the courage to stay in the chosen field.

Waiting for your replies and suggestions to make this blog more active and lively.

Some days ago one of my fast friends asked me a very simple question- "Why are you so happy?" First of all, I thought this question as very complicated one. With so many problems in world, this much inflation in India and with so much grieves and sorrows in universe how anyone can be happy? And how anyone can be so happy that people simply see his happiness? But, my friend was not concerned to the sorrows and grieves of universe. His question was concerned only to me. How I can be so much happy with all of my struggles, my failures and my inability to convert my potential into success? Anyway, at that imes I was not able to think thoroughly on this question. Really, I was fighting my most crucial war of my so far life. But now the speed of struggles seems to be slow. Now I have the time to thought on that simple question, which answer is also very simple. I was happy because I was doing what I want to do! I would not say that I was not worried, or there was not a fear of failure. but instead of these things I had a hope. And all these things, worries, fear of failures and ultimately hope, were mixing to convert in enthusiam. So my happiness was not my happiness, but it was my enthusiam.
Now I am not so much that much happy. Anyone can see a difference betweenthe guy of one month ago and today's. Today I was waiting, waiting to get the result of my endeavours, my voyage. I don't know I would get it or not. Understandingly, I have some anxiety. But the difference is not due to that anxiety. I am less happy because I was not doing what I want to do.
So the happiness is not only the result of your present condition, it also comes from your mental attitudes towards your condition. If you love your condition you are happy, despite having worries, despite having problems, despite having concerns. But you cannot be a happy person if your mental attitudes doesn't match your present condition. Then question areses- "What should we do?" Should we accept our present position, our present condition and don't try to change anything, except to change our mental attitude. In my view simple answer is yes. But, I warn, it is just the simple answer, not the completely correct one. If you have not the guts to change the time, you have to flow according to time and you have to accept your present condition. Then, it is advisable to like and love your condition. Try to find joy and happiness in day to day activities and you would be happy.
Another answer is to try to change the situation that you don't like. But, it is not easy. You have not only to take many troubles, not only to leave many facilities, but apart form it you have to be ready for facing DEFEAT. But, if you like to take the chance, if you have the guts to change the time, you would certainly get pleasure from this. Not only in result but also in process. But again, it is better not the best.
The best answer lies in, feeling joy in present environment as well as trying to change it for better. This is the best way to be happy. Very few people achieve this masterly achievement. But those who achieve not only spent happy life but also world role red carpet for them. May God make us able to achieve this masterly achievement. AMEN!

Hi Friends,
आप सबको दीपावली की ढेर सारी सुभकामनाएँ। पर ये पर्व सिर्फ़ उल्लास या उत्सव के मौके ही नही कुछ याद करने के अवसर भी हैं। मैं भी इस पर्व के बहाने कुछ कठिन सवाल उठाना चाहता हूँ ताकि बदलाव कि चिरंतन प्रक्रिया में कम से कम अपनी सम्वेधना के माध्यम से योग दे सकूं।
हम सब न जाने कितनी शताब्दियों से दीपावली मना रहे हैं, पर क्या अँधेरा मिटा है? अँधेरा अब भी है , गरीबी, भुखमरी, कुपोषण, आतंकवाद, हिंसा, अभाव के कारन होने वाली मौत, जैसी न जाने कितनी समस्याओं के रूप में। ऐसे में जब हम दिवाली पर उल्लास मनाएं तो यह याद रखना भी जरुरी है कि हम सब की भी जिम्मेवारी है कि हम सब अपनी-अपनी क्षमता के अनुसार इस अंधेरे को मिटाने में अपना अपना योगदान दे ताकि हमारे उन भाईयों के हिस्से भी कुछ प्रकाश आ सके जिन्होंने कभी दिवाली नही मनाई है। आज हम सब संकल्प ले कि हम प्रेम को अपने जीवन मूल्य के रूप में अपनाएंगे और अपनी क्षमताओं का एक छोटा सा हिस्सा और अपनी संवेदनाओं का एक छोटा सा भाग गाँधी के अन्तिम वैयक्ति के लिए भी बचा कर रखेंगे। शायद नीरज कि कुछ पंक्तियाँ मेरी भावनाओं को शब्द दे पा रही हों-
सृजन है अधूरा अगर विश्व भर में
कहीं भी किसी द्वार पर है उदासी
मनुजता नही पूर्ण तब तक बनेगी
कि जब तक लहू के किए भूमि प्यासी
जलाओ दिए पर रहे ध्यान इतना
अँधेरा धरा पर कही रह न जाए।

Hi friends
किसी भी व्यक्ति के लिए सबसे दुखद होता है उसके पास भावनाओं को अभिव्यक्त करने की योग्यता का न होना। मैं खुद को इतना दुर्भाग्यसाली तो नही मानता लेकिन फिर भी कई बार ऐसा होता है कि मैं चाह कर भी अपनी भावनाओं को लोगों तक नही पंहुचा पता। ऐसे में पीरा तो होती ही है। सायद कुछ दिनों से मैं इसी पीरा को झेल रहा हूँ, क्योंकि मैंने पिछले कुछ दिनों से, अपने आलस्य के कारन ब्लॉग पर कुछ भी खास नही लिखा है। ख़ैर, जो भी हो, इस बार जब मैं वापस आया हूँ तो इस संकल्प के साथ कि इस का प्रयोग अनवरत करूंगा। इस बार मैं निरंतरता का कोई वादा तो नही करूंगा लकिन मेरा प्रयास होगा कि मैं आपसे निरंतर जूरा रहूँ, सम्भव हो तो खुद अपनी लेखनी के साथ, अगर सम्भव न हो तो किसी और के विचारों के साथ,पर उसी भाव के साथ जो हम सबको प्रेरित करती है, उसी आग के साथ जो हम सबसे मांग करती है- बदलाव कि अनवरत प्रक्रिया में सकराक्मत योगदान देने की। उम्मीद करता हूँ कि नीचे कि कुछ पंख्कियाँ मेरी पीरा को अभिवयक्त कर पाएँगी ---
अनुभूति अगर अभिवयक्त करुँ जब भी यह अवसर आता है
मेरे संचित सब्धों का स्वर गूंगा सा हो जाता है
अर्थहीन कितनी ही बातें इन अधरों पर आती हैं
अर्थभरी कितनी ही बातें अनकही रह जाती हैं

Hi friends,
Some time we face the situation in which we want to put all of our presures, tensions and worries to rest and to fight without these mental blocks. Most often in these times, we go to the God and get energy from Him. But at some times we get a god, with the human face. He may be our family member - our father, our mother , our brother -, he may be our teacher, he may be our friend, he may be our colleague, he may be our senior. Anyway, they give us courage, enthusiam, will and less tensed environment to fight. On many times I have got help from such persons. I often think- how can I repay them? I don't know exactly, because most of them help you selflessly. But , in my view, there are still some ways. First of all, we should give 100% to our fight. If we give our 100% to our fight and we win it, it is the biggest payment to the persons, who are helping you. Second thing is to be clear, that we cannot repay them directly. Rather we should try to repay them by helping others. If you feel that you were helped by others when you were facing hard weathers, try to help third person when he is facing his hard weather.
Personaly, I have been helped by many person. But till today, I have not repaid anyone of them. I want that the God made me able to repay my debts by making me successful in my fight and by making me able to help others.
Waiting for your reply.

HI friends,
I'm sorry for not keeping my words and to be late again.

Friends, we are in midway of Lok Sabha elections. There is a lot of hype about change this time. Yes friends, we need change. Change from the society which is not just, change from the system which is neither honest nor efficient, change from the politics which is dynastic, corrupt and criminalized, change from the health system where lot of people dies due to lack of facilities, change from the educational sytem which is presently divided between haves and haves-not, change from the agricultural system which forces farmers to commit suicide, change from the industries which thrives on child labour, change from the way in which innocents people are being killed by terrorists and naxalites. And apart from these, there are lot of changes we want. But are we in right direction? Or do you think that this election would bring the changes we need and want? Friends, in my view it is big NO.

After this election you would see the same faces and same way of governance, if not worst. Let me remind you, there is no change at all in the way of election campaining. Politicians are continuously asking for votes on the name of caste and religion, they are continuously using money and bullet power and the hate speeches. And we people are chossing among them! Then if there is not a slight change in the way, how do you think that destination would be different? So don't expect change, be ready for same dynastic , corrupt and criminal faces in parliament.

It doesn't mean that change cannot be made, but it is not coming by this elections. It would only come when you, the people of India, yourself would be the change you want. So, if you want change, start from yourself. Commit that you would not indulge in slightly corrupt practices. Commit you would neither except nor pay the bribe. Commit that you would not cast the vote to criminals and corrupts. Commit that if no one would be worth of your vote you would not vote to anyone, but register your view to polling officer. (Facility is available but most of us are not aware) Commit because your commitment is the key to change. And if you don't, be ready to face same wine with different labels, everytimes you vote.

Hi friends,
I am sorry for posting my next blog nearly after one month. I should be more regular and I assure you to be the same in future.

Friends, today, after some days of personal worries and disappointments, I am feeling happy and lucky, because some of my friends, who are far away from me, called me and gave me pleasure to share my disappointments and worries with them.

So, let us salute our friends by discussing the subject - FRIEND. Who is the friend? And how can you get good friends? Let us take these questions one by one.

Who is a friend? Is he the person who works with you or plays with you or lives with you? He may be, but not necessarily. Some times your class mate or fellow worker may not be your friend; even you call him a friend. But a person with whom you met only once or twice can be your friend. Actually friend is a person, who knows your qualities and your shortcomings and he accept you after knowing them. He does not try to change you; he just tries to learn from your qualities and to improve you by his own qualities. Apart from it he always wants that you fulfill your destiny and he also share your sorrow and happiness. So in this communication age, he may be a person living in another city or another state or even in another country. I have many experiences about this. Lot of my friends are from different places. I have met them only once or twice, but still I call them as my friend and they also call me as their friend and we often talk on phone. They not only remember me but also share my happiness and sorrows, defeats and triumphs, disappointments and satisfaction. So they are, my real friends, not the person who is my fellow worker and would forgot me just after my departure from this place.

Now we should come to the next question - How can we get good friends? But before coming to this question, I want to ask - Is it necessary to get friends? Yes, it is. For personal improvement good friends are must. They not only help you in your voyage but also encourage you, inspire you and most importantly, give you hope that you are not alone and there is a person who may help you if you get in trouble. So it is not the matter of choice, but it is matter of necessity. You like it or not, you have to get some friends. So it is better to be friend of a good person.

But how can we get good friends and how can we know that any person may be a good friend in future? Actually good friends cannot be get, they become. But for that you have to open your mind and follow your heart. Many times, you meet a person and your heart says - He may be a useful person for me, he may be a good friend of mine in future. But due to hesitation, fear, lack of courage you ignore this voice. And by this you loose a potential friend. So to get good friends, you should follow your heart and open your mind.

I do not mean that you should try to become friend of every person you find in your way. No. Never. Your heart knows your priorities and what is right or wrong for you. So your heart would give you limited choices. You can also apply your common sense and mind. But never let the fear or hesitation comes in your way, because due to them you would not only loose a potential friend but it would also affect your personality and your openness towards world.

Apart from it, never ignore a person who wants to become your friend. He may be a better judge than you. And he may be in need of help from you or he may help you in future. Be careful, stay alert before fully knowing them, but never ignore there request, because it may contain some sign of universe. Remember - It is always easy to break a relationship than to build it."
