Death of my student – My Feelings!!!

Let me start with the prayer to almighty since I believe that PRAYER has the power to pull everything successfully.

LORD, give us all the guidance to know,

When to hold on & when to let go,

And

The grace to live in harmony & peace.

As I started the day with the same energy & vigor as every working day not realizing what is going to unfold in couple of hours.  After the heart-felt Thursday pooja which I divinely do, my colleague summoned me on phone to reveal the shattering news of the demise of our student ‘GAUTAM’.  Although my ears transmitted the message clearly with the help of the brain, my heart skipped couple of beats and refused to allow the news to digest.  My scapegoat theory urged me to run to the balcony where I can clearly hear the news again if I have wrongly interpreted earlier due to the mobile network problem, but of no use, I was told again the same reverberating news which forced me to recap the encounters I had with this hobnob student who has earned high regards not only from students but also from teaching fraternity.

The first meeting with this chap was on his admission day when he came along with his father & introduced themselves as my near natives(native town) and also got to know about his father is an (old) alumni of the college where I did my under graduate.  Those were the instances where we both got affinity on one another.  Later this lovely boy was under my mentorship where I had the opportunities to advise him on his professional well-being which he readily obliged.  Even when he was sick I have referred him to a doctor for which he thanked me a lot. He has not only proved to be an obedient student but also along with his friends encouraged my teachings by showing enthusiasm since I currently handle those guys 3 subjects.

All these instances were reverberating in my mind till I reach the college from where; along with my colleagues I rushed to the hospital.  During all this period my mind was low-on to burst tears, if anything further provoked, but to make things worse, the close friends of him (students) gathered at the entrance of the hospital with paled faces. While sharing the condole news with one another, I purposely avoided eye-contact with them to strengthen myself not breaking down in front of them.  But that lasted only so long, till I was near by his father.  His words brought in the fatherhood feelings out of me that acted as a catalyst to pull out the tears of my eyes.  Though I controlled & regained myself only to the extent, till I saw my finest student as corpse. That moment I sobbed-out my heart and regained the composure since all the students came in to pay their last homage to their beloved friend.  After the boy was taken away by ambulance to his native to do the last rituals, I escorted some students to the entrance of the hospital.  While walking alongside by students one of the students sobbingly asked me

“Won’t he (GAUTAM) come back?”

That question pierced into my heart stressing me to find a solace not only for the day but also for the feelings which I was encountering then. Since I solace myself either by reading or writing generally, today I decided to console myself by penning down my feelings. During my writing, I understood that every caring teacher is not a teacher alone, but a parent by themselves. I truly believe that in everyone’s birth & death there is a purpose for themselves and everyone around.  Your death will surely bring out the better teacher/father in me. Finally want to sum-up by saying that I have an unfinished job at hand to teach the same class again, with the suffering to see his place (seat) remaining empty which will squeeze my teacher & fatherly feelings out of me.

An Obituary to my beloved chap

THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER YOU..

YOUR DEATH HAS TAUGHT ME MORE THAN I HAVE TAUGHT YOU IN THE COUPLE OF YEARS…

Rest In Peace - GAUTAM

Stance both India & Pakistan should understand regarding Kashmir after the Uri attack

It’s audacious of Pakistan PM Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to warn that Pakistan is also capable of executing surgical strikes and will not allow anyone to "cast an evil eye" on it referring the statement on India’s reply to Uri attack. Though as a country Pakistan has every right to protect itself from attacks but provided the nature of their support to terrorism like allowing the land for terrorist organizations it has no right to spell out such as statement. India on the other hand has only reciprocated on every attack and has not so far initiated any attack. If Pakistan has no capability to demolish the terrorists in their occupied territory atleast they should have the heart to thank India by demolishing the 7 base camps of the terrorist groups in the recent attack.  In the mean while both India and Pakistan have accepted that no people in Pak army were killed and this clarifies clearly that all the people who died in the crossfire were all terrorists. Coming to peace treaty between two countries not even in one instance Pakistan has extended their hand first to harmonize the situation in two countries. Whenever India extends its peace keeping process Pak accepts it followed by a attack on India. As the Prime Minister when Nawaz Sharif is not able to control infiltration of terrorists in the home land he should not blame the neighboring countries who are affected their attacks. Whenever any attack happens among India & Pakistan any Prime Minister of Pak will speak about the Kashmir as issue without knowing the complete picture of the partition of Kashmir during Indo-Pak partition. 

Partition, Invasion and Accession

British rule in India ended in 1947 with the creation of new states: the Dominion of Pakistan and the Union of India, as the successor states to British India. According to the Indian Independence Act 1947, "States were thereafter left to choose whether to join India or Pakistan or to remain independent. Jammu and Kashmir, the largest of the princely states, had a predominantly Muslim population ruled by the Hindu Maharaja Hari Singh. He decided to stay independent because he expected that the State's Muslims would be unhappy with accession to India, and the Hindus and Sikhs would become vulnerable if he joined Pakistan. On 11 August, the Maharaja dismissed his prime minister Ram Chandra Kak, who had advocated independence. Observers and scholars interpret this action as a tilt towards accession to India. Pakistanis decided to preempt this possibility by wresting Kashmir by force if necessary. Pakistan made various efforts to persuade the Maharaja of Kashmir to join Pakistan. In July 1947, Mohammad Ali Jinnah is believed to have written to the Maharaja promising "every sort of favourable treatment," followed by lobbying of the State's Prime Minister by leaders of Jinnah's Muslim League party. Faced with the Maharaja's indecision, the Muslim League agents clandestinely worked in Poonch to encourage the local Muslims to revolt. Justice Mehr Chand Mahajan, the Maharaja's nominee for his next prime minister, visited Nehru and Patel in Delhi on 19 September, requesting essential supplies which had been blockaded by Pakistan since the beginning of September. He communicated the Maharaja's willingness to accede to India. Nehru, however, demanded that the jailed political leader, Sheikh Abdullah, be released from prison and involved in the state government. Only then would he allow the state to accede. The Maharaja released Sheikh Abdullah on 29 September. Before any further reforms were implemented, the Pakistani tribal invasion brought the matters to a head. Maharaja's troops, heavily outnumbered and outgunned, had no chance of withstanding the attack. The Maharaja made an urgent plea to Delhi for military assistance. Upon the Governor General Lord Mountbatten's insistence, India required the Maharaja to accede before it could send troops. Accordingly, the Maharaja signed an instrument of accession on 26 October 1947, which was accepted by the Governor General the next day. While the Government of India accepted the accession, it added the proviso that it would be submitted to a "reference to the people" after the state is cleared of the invaders, since "only the people, not the Maharaja, could decide where Kashmiris wanted to live." It was a provisional accession. National Conference, the largest political party in the State and headed by Sheikh Abdullah, endorsed the accession. In the words of the National Conference leader Syed Mir Qasim, India had the "legal" as well as "moral" justification to send in the army through the Maharaja's accession and the people's support of it.

Take away for both countries

From the above pertinent accession between India & Kashmir it is understand that neither Pakistan nor India has the right to own Kashmir but India can stay put in Kashmir to nullify any attack on Kashmir. Once the peace is restored in Kashmir as the provisional accession India will give the right to Kashmir people to take their own decision regarding to join India or Pakistan or remain Independent. But so far POK terrorists have not provided the ideal situation.

In this given circumstance Pakistan has no right to talk about unfinished agenda of the partition regarding Kashmir as the Maharaja of Kashmir has requested India help to nullify Pakistan infiltration but not the other way round.

The Crescendo of JNU Issue

     Is there anything for the true common man of India, who can articulate some understanding in the media hyped, politics involved, talk of the nations' issue of the students' union leader Kanhaiya Kumar's arrest on allegation of sedation or the lawyers protest or the reports about politicians involvement in the issue or is there any deeper motive.  Though the purview can vary among individuals, but the one where everyone will come to an agreement is "IS COLLEGES/UNIVERSITIES (EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS) a place these political gimmick, wherein the students indulge into these activities without knowing the repercussions.  They are getting carried away by the immediate fame which will get deteriorated not only over a period, but as an individual they too have to bite the dust.  

     Students have to clearly understand & it is faculties responsibilities to make them imbibe that there are various powerful segment within our country / outside country who are hostile to the idea of peace within India.  We as Indians should not allow those elements to cherish in joy.  As a republic country, majority of the people have voted for a govt to rule for 5 years.  If that being the case give them the free hand to operate what they have promised.  At the end of it, if one is not satisfied, cast a vote against them, so they may not come back to power the next term.  

      

     As an individual if one thinks to bring change to the society, they should not choose to be in the leadership role as a starting point (like what Gandhi family does).  Try serving the society in a positive way that one believes in, get familiarized among the people and the work they involve. During the process gather like-minded people who can be behind them in this change.  If anyone goes against the above said route, they are not only spoiling their future, but also the other younger generations' future too, who think they too can try in a similar way.

FDI Investment in Insurance

Initially it has been a debate of the nation to allow FDI(Foreign Direct Investment) in India. Later it panned out to allow & the cap were fixed according to different sectors. In the case insurance sector the agreed cap of previous govt(UPA 2) was upto 26% which was substantial for more foreign players to enter India.

But the current govt (NDA)has increased the limit upto 49% which is very drastic leap from the above said level. Though it looks lucrative in picture, I deny the point of increasing the limit without enforcing any stringent rules of the on product enhancement & selling methodology.

The tradition of India has always viewed insurance purely from investment point of view with moderate returns & with slight risk coverage. Later it turned to be pure investment avenues with good appreciation of capital. This is the period where sellers used their gimmick to sell the products which provided them a huge commission rather than providing better results to the clients.

Mr. Modi’s diplomatic surprise with Pakistan - A Failure / Success

Was our Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modiji's enroute visit to Lahore, Pakistan, to wish his counterpart Mr. Nawaz Sharif on his special day a failure or a proclaimed success in the peace building process among these countries.  As a peace loving nation the sign showed by our PM elicits to the world how far India as a country is willing in the peace talks with its neighbours.  The history of earlier initiated peace talks by India was derailed by pernicious attacks like Kargil, Mumbai attack, etc., by some powerful segment with Pakistan that is hostile to the idea of peace with India.

The Pathankot Air force base attack will be considered brutal of all previous attacks because of the security breach intensified by terrorists in a well secured military base of ours.  The Global nuclear power image of India is under damage and also the security bases where our vital military assets  & information are kept can be call as foolproof and also can jeopardize every patriotic citizen.  The area of govt’s immediate & dedicated effort should focus more on stepping up the security of its military areas & assets.  As a true Indian my concern would be more on 48 hrs battle of our 300 odd men to neutralize the efforts of 5 – 7 terrorists in our own den, but the console comes in such a way that our National Heroes like

Bomb Disposal Squad LT. Col Niranjan Kumar ,

IAF Garud Commander. Gursevak Kapoor, & others

Showed their patriotism & dedications to serve the nation inspires everyone Indian for many many years to come. …

Open letter to the people of India

An Open letter to the people of India
This letter comes from the deep heart of a true & patriot Indian. After watching the election dramas carried out by congress party it takes every Indian to raise his view point. Last night I watched Priyanka Vadra making comments on BJP as panicked rats. Who are panicked. All leaders on the BJP are contesting in elections, but what bat he congress leaders who were ministers for almost 10 years. They are panicked goose and gander who always blame the opposition for all the happenings. What was she doing when her husband Vadra was looting India during the UPA regime. As a responsible wife & she should have done something to stop his atrocities. I would rate this UPA regime was the epitome of nepotism.
Again Rahul talks about the democracy in the party. If there is democracy in the party how come he become the Vice President of a national party in a very short span of time with no major credentials. Rahul was a poor performer in corporate world, pathetic performer in the party & will be nightmare PM if he is elected to power. Sonia Gandhi publicly declined the PM post when the UPA govt won the first election, but is still greedy to run the govt by announcing a puppet PM. Why, congress doesn't have any genuine PM profile within the party? The only ruling party in the world who talk about doing great if elected to power in future, but not talking about the past 10 years of ruling. Every congress party member should feel ashamed to be linked with the party.

Right man in the wrong party!!

Right man in wrong party!!

Nandan nilenkani a charismatic man chose the wrong party to make his electoral debut. There is nothing that this man has to prove anyone. When the people of not only Bangalore but entire India have faith in this man why did he chose a party whose track record doesn't even favour them. But I would appreciate the man for his outstanding credibility that he has brought to the people who stood by & for him. If he wins this race not only him but the entire business community & other passionate people who are willing to make an impact in politics will make an entry. I on behalf of many people wishing a great success in electoral debut but keeping my fingers crossed that what he might do in the corrupt party after winning a seat. Starting from the party president to the last person in the person blames others for the failure for growth & corruption but on the contrarian Nandan is a man who's takes the responsibility to achieve success & also blames himself for any shortfall in his mission. Let's wait and watch the tamasha of this party & this prolific leader.
