A Eternal dilemma.....

Ek bholi ladki thi, bewkoof si anjani si
Dil who saaf thi aur pyar uska paak tha
Uske man mein thi ek tasveer rajkumar ki

Ek din use mila ek kauva jo bola “main tera rajkumar”
Ladki boli “Ja kauve mera rajkumar to sundar hai, tu kitna kala hai”
Kauva bola “Hum kale hain to kya hua hum dil ke rajkumar hain”
Lakdi boli “Dil ka main achar daloongi, dil se bill nahin barta”
Kauva ruthke apne main pyar liye chala gaya

Phir ek din us lakdi ko ek sundar mor mila jo bola “main tera rajkumar”
Ladki boli “Haan tu mera rajkumar”
Mor bola “Mera bill baregi na”
Lakdi boli “Dil dega to bill baroongi”
Mor bola “Theek”
Aur who ladki ek compromise wali zindagi jeene lagi

So kaun acha “Kauva ki Mor”….

When nothing seems right

A poem for a special friend of mine going through some bad times.....

When nothing seems right
……..and the entire world is against you
When whatever you do goes wrong
……..and you feel lost
When there is no one standing by you
……..and you feel alone
When the entire world goes by
……..and you feel stuck at a single place
When you want to cry
……..and there is no shoulder to cry on
When you feel there is no one to fall back on
……..and you feel weak

Just remember every great man
…….had to fall before he could rise
Every diamond was coal before
…….it was discovered
The night is the darkest
…….before there is light
Every dark cloud
……..has a silver lining

So my friend don’t give up
….…rise, smile and fight
Cuz a fighter never loses
…….and a loser never fights

Anxious me....

Am anxious cuz life has come to a phase where it can make or break me...a big decision which could go either way....do i go with my instinct or take a calculated one...Listen to my heart or my mind....

I believe everyone comes at crossroads in life where he has to a call which can determine his destiny....

So with a prayer on my lips and love in my heart...here i come life....:)

Right to Education Bill...A step in the right direction

Parliament has adopted 'The Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Bill, 2009,’ which envisages free and compulsory education to children in the 6-14 age group with the Lok Sabha approving it by voice vote on Tuesday. The Rajya Sabha passed the Bill on July 20.

Some salient features of the bill....

1)Once the President gives assent to the Bill, getting education would be a fundamental right of every child.
2) The law would ensure that the child got free, compulsory and quality education by qualified teachers.
3) The curriculum would be less rigorous and it would ensure all-round development of children.
4)While 25 per cent of seats in every private school would be allocated for children from disadvantaged groups including differently-abled children at the entry level, as far as minority institutions were concerned up to 50 per cent of those seats could be offered to students from their communities.

Out of every 100 children attending elementary school only 12 reached the graduation level; in Europe it was 50-70 (students reaching college from the elementary level) and the global average 27. The Centre plans to increase India’s average to 15 by 2012 and to 30-35 by 2020.

My comments:

If India wants to be the superpower of the world...education has to be key....looking at the standard of education in public schools makes me feel disheartened at wat we are doing with our future...hope all that the bill envisages fructifies in the future...but surely a step in the right direction...way 2 go Mr Sibal....Wish all other ministers are as proactive as u....
