I don't mind being an idiot

Idiots are great.

To be an idiot or foolish is actually an intelligent philosophy, which must be followed because only a stupid person can constantly discover a regretless life; while walking on the tracks of rules and knowledge often the wise one does not take the risk to be happy.

"There are only two species on this planet- A wise one and an idiot one."

For fools there hundreds of words in the dictionary - Stupid, idiot, fool, foolish, jerk, blockheaded, bone-fat-thick headed, doltish, cloddish, dens, dim, dull, dumb, dodo, slow, lumpish, Knit-Wit, cook, dork, ninny, pinhead, simpleton, tomfool, tweet, loon, nerds, geek, dumb, Fair Game, Nmskl, turkey, Stutz, silly, SAP, stupid, goofy, crazy, stupid , enemy of brain, goon, naasamajh, baivakuf, paagal, akal ka dushman, baudam, muudh, and many more. These words are used as easily as they were invented.

If you bump into someone then you easily deliver words such as Idiot, Stupid or fool, like crown to them. It also does not matter whether the other person doesn’t even know what it actually meant, but still these words are used because your aim is to prove that the person is an idiot.

This attitude has even made up a market against wisdom and idiotism; which includes the expensive IQ books, newspapers, magazines, and also the IQ and personality tests that appears in it.

Fool can fail, but the wise does not even tries. Those who decide the result by analyzing everything themselves, they've let themselves devoid of new experiences. They do everything according to a plan they have already made, but an idiot does the job right away. The wise see every job through the eyes of criticism, they evaluate it all, and they see what is available to them; while the idiot believes in the possibilities and in just getting the work done. The wise one always says no, while the fool always says yes. Wise may have all the answers, but the idiot has interesting questions; which means that the truly intelligent ones are those who are an idiot.

Just as sometimes intelligent people acts silly, same way sometimes idiots behaves like a wise person. Just know that if we do not have any silly idea, then we have no interesting ideas. So anyone who has the courage to be stupid, it would be their first step towards wisdom.

Only the one who has the courage to run on baseless ideas and to stick on them, can really have the experience of arts, skills and true enjoyments of life.

Scale of Idealism

Every culture has its own ideal. But the question is; what is the scale of an “Ideal”? Maybe Ideal is the one who always do good deeds, does not hurt anyone and just enjoys. But the question is what is “Good”? Good means, whoever thinks of something as “Good”, that is good! Maybe what that is good for me, is bad for you; but what can one do for that? If you succeed, earn money and earn name, are successful, then you become an Ideal. You succeed even if you are guilty; even then you are an Ideal.

Sanjay Dutt and Salman Khan are not ordinary people, they should have gotten punished. The reason is – the more effective person you are, the more social responsibility you have. But some people say that they face more notoriety because of being famous. Those who campaign to protect these people should be on trial.

35.9 percent small-town youth say that the whole crime and ideal useless things. The system is so bad that anyone who provides a two time meal and gives some protection is seen as an ideal. Many times media too makes an ideal and then spoils it. Despite of their anti ideal deeds the well-known people have remained successful.

It’s the fault of society. Why doesn’t anyone pledge to make Salman or Sanjay’s movie a flop show as despite of being a celebrity they have set anti-social examples?

Can any society live without Ideals? 82 percent believe – not at all. An ideal is a hope, a dream and an inspirational power of survival. How and to whom should we make our ideal?

~ Ideals of the world ~

Can Bill Clinton be considered as an ideal?

He got the points by saying the “truth” about the Lewinsky scandal. His wife stood with him even though she knew that he has over stepped his dignity. Then Bill and Hillary became an Ideal. Today Hillary is in the race for the presidency.

59.7% people believe that there is deep relation between success and lies.

~What is the value ~

There is a deep thirst of values ​​in society, so to earn credits TV channels even started to do false sting operations. People like Baba Aamte runs the save Narmada campaign and apart from the poor tribal’s, no one else supports him. Is Baba Aamte an ideal? Is Anna Hazare an ideal?

78% people believes that no matter what, good people will keep coming.

~ Value of Purity ~

People like; Sanjay, Salman, Clinton, Mike Tyson or Paris Hilton has now become people’s ideals.
Jeffrey Archer was successful in politics. As an author too he has been successful. Went to jail for fraud and earned money by writing "Prison Diary”. Many criminals eat royalty by selling their biographies.

Seeing these people, 69% people believe that law is a thing only for the common man.

Mario Puzo's book The Godfather had rocked the whole world. The film based on this novel earned millions. But there was also a dispute that it inspires the youth to the crime. The author herself later admitted that criminals were shown as heroes in this book.

At Cannes International Film Festival in Europe, the famous American filmmaker Woody Allen gave shocking speech after the successful release of his latest Film “International Man”. The 69-year-old filmmaker said, “The state in which humanity is today, all of us are going to get in even more bad condition. Today the things we are being proud of and are waving the like a victory pennant, we would be ashamed of all those empty claims in the future. They say that we have made life meaningless, we are living in an uncontrolled madness. All our so-called achievements are hollow.”

If Woody Allen's film would have had failed, so his statement could be linked to personal despair, but an experienced, successful, wealthy old man have flung this statement, and that should be taken seriously.

Murder is the greatest social crime and the crime is always a marker of ​​falling social values, but a soldier is proved to be an Ideal when he kills the enemy. It would be wrong to define the Ideal as an object as it is an expression entirely dependent on circumstances. Peace can also be ideal and so can be war.

Famous people should be more responsible. They need bigger punishment for even little mistakes. One should not worship these gods of crime, but needs to create a symbol of the ideal society that dreams of justice in their images.

Benefits of being short-tempered

You must have heard that sweet tongue can won a heart, but how is it amazing!

The real fun is when despite your stern temper you maintain your foothold, hose who are yours loves you.

Know about the benefits of being irritable and short-tempered.

From childhood we have heard that good humor is essential in ones nature. If you are a jolly and amiable fellow, then your life shall become easier. If you are soft by nature then people shall always linger around you.

So today tie a tight knot of what I’m about to say; jolliness and friendliness can also prove you to be fawning and stupid, and people shall be trying to take advantage of you all the time. If you want to live chicly, boldly and with dignity, then you need to become absolutely irritable, short-tempered and stubborn so that no little rotted self will dare to cheat you and not an iota of your work gets stuck in any unnecessary obstacle. Do this, and everyone would do you work first just to dispatch you first.

Mothers always tell the kids and husband endearingly to not to leave the wet towel here and there, that the floor is wet as it has just been mopped so sit at one place, put the plate in the sink once you have eaten, come home early, help with some house chores, at least on holidays; but husbands and kids never listen. Now, if she says all this as a short-tempered and irritable mother/wife, nobody will dare to refuse her, in fact they will do few extra works. Husbands will never dare to bring his office’s irritation back at home. A short-tempered wife at home and a short-tempered boss in the office, keeps a man always keeps a man alerted and he does his work on time. He does not do much interference and do not needs to use much of his brain either.

Now if you are a loyal girlfriend, are beautiful and refined, cheerful and sociable; then your boyfriend will take you lightly. He will prefer to watch a football or cricket match rather than watching a movie with you, your boyfriend’s friends will always try to flirt with you; but if you are irritable, short-tempered and rude then instead of watching Gayle’s batting, your boyfriend will watch a movie with you and his friends will stop flirting with you and will respect you from the bottom of their heart.

If you are happy then you will be healthy; you will be hungrier, you will eat more and get fat cheeks, two or three tires for the waist and belly. But if you are short-tempered , spleen and sometimes coarse then you will never get fat and won’t have to worry about finding one tip or another for weight loss. You shall just scream and screaming shall reduce your calories. Those with good-humor have to keep many things pressed inside their heart, as a result the heart feel heavy-heavy. You will feel ripped off, will want to use your hands and tongue but the good-humor will stop you from doing so. You will smile and smile and will talk with a sweet tongue, will suppress the anger; this shall be the cause of your growing blood-pressure, you will get a headache, will face intestinal injury, and will have a burden on your heart. Wow, it’s the perfect recipe for your health to deteriorate and your doctor’s big bank balance.

So thank me while you try the benefits I have taught you of being short-tempered, irritable, rude and sometimes coarse.

चाय पियो मस्त जियो

चाय का नाम जुबां पर आते ही लज्जतदार, जायकेदार, महकदार, कड़क, ताजगीयुक्त, फ्लेवर युक्त आदि कई जुमले जेहन में आते हैं। आज चाय एक लोकप्रिय पेय के रूप अपना मुकाम बनायें है। चाय ने खुद को बुलंद कर लिया हैं। दुनिया में सबसे अधिक चाय ख़पत वाले देश भारत के बेहतरीन चाय ख़ज़ानों में से चुनें अपनी पसंद की चाय।

लेमन टी  जिन्जर टी  मिन्ट टी  कटिंग टी  हॉट-स्पाइसी आफ़्टरनून टी आइस्ड टी  मसाला चाय  पीच टी  इरानी चाय  ढाबा चाय  कश्मीरी कहवा चाय  सिन्नामॉन टी  टी कूकिज़  बटर टी  रजवाड़ी चाय

 

हर घूँट में खिले मुस्कान

क्योंकि चाय में होते हैं ताज़गी प्रदान करने वाले प्राकृतिक गुण। इन्हीं गुणों के कारण चाय में होते है अच्छी सेहत का राज़। इसे पीकर आप बेहतर और स्वस्थ दिखते हैं तभी तो खिलती है आपके चेहरे पर मुस्कान।

थक के चूर? हो जाये एक कप चाय

एक कप चाय, जादू जैसा असर करती है। चाय में होता है एण्टी-ऑक्सीडेंट, जो जगाता है नया जोश और देता है भरपूर ताज़गी, जिससे आपकी थकान हो जाती है दूर।

सुन्दरता के टिप्स

चाय एक प्राकृतिक एस्ट्रीनजेंट है। अगर कील-मुँहासे हो गये है तो चेहरा चाय से धोएं। बालों को साफ़, चमकिला और घना करना चाहती है तो उन्हें चाय के लिकर में डुबाएं।

 

किसी दूरदराज भारतीय गांव में या किसी शहर के कोने में बने ठीयों पर, हर नुक्कड़ की शुरूआत चाय से होती है। मेहमान घर आये है मतलब चाय पर आये है। कभी-कभी ये ताना भी सुनने को मिल सकता है, घर जाओं तो ये चाय को भी नहीं पूछते। 

पानीपत की जबरदस्त दूध वाली चाय, लखनऊ की नमक वाली मलाईदार चाय, मुंबई की मसाले वाली चाय या इंदौर की'कटिंग'चाय-सबका एक ही मतलब है-दुनिया और अपने बीच एक अंतरंग रिश्ते की खुशबूदार अदृश्य डोर को बुनना।जो स्वाद और अपनापन सड़क किनारे चाय की दुकान की चाय में होता है वो फाइव स्टार या किसी रेस्टोरेंट की चाय में कहां। चाय बनाने के लिये गैस स्टोव, पीतल का भगौना, चाय की छलनी और कपड़े से छनती चाय, कांच के सामान्य गिलास में चाय जिसे आप दोनो हाथों के बीच दबा कर पिये वो भी खासकर बारिश के मौसम में। चाय के साथ नाश्ते के लिये कांच की बड़ी-बड़ी बरनियों में रखें मख्खन और नारियल के बिस्कुट या थाल में रखी मिर्च की भजिया व पकौडियां ।हरियाणा के ढाबे पर गाढ़ा दूध और ज्यादा ही प्यार से डाली गई शक्कर हो, उत्तरप्रदेश के किसी मोहल्ले में नमक की पतली चाय हो या दिल्ली में'मलाई मार के'...चाय एक अनूठी साथी है। न तो रेलवे स्टेशन की सुबह इसके बिना खूबसूरत हो सकती है, न किसी भव्य फिल्म की शूटिंग पर माहौल बन सकता है। यह रिश्तों के लिये है। यह गरम-गरम चाय, चाह जगाने वाली खुशबू तथा बातों के बहाने का सर्वप्रिय इंतजाम है।यह पूछी नहीं, पिलाई जाती है। जब आप किसी के साथ बैठकर चाय पीते हैं तो एक सहचर का भाव जुड़ जाता है। हम प्याला, हम निवाला यानी शेयरिंग का भाव पनपता है।

 

सूरज की किरणें जब हौले से आपका स्पर्श कर रही हों ऐसे में सुबह-सुबह एक गर्म चाय की प्याली आपके पूरे दिन को खुशनुमा बना देती है और अब तो आपका मन चाह रहा होगा कि हो जाए, एक कप चाय।

मेरा साया

सुबह से शाम तक,

मेरे साथ चलता..

कभी दायें-बायें, कभी आगे-पीछ,े

मचलते बालक सा..

शाम तक थक कर,

मुझ से ही लिपट कर,

मुझ में समा जाता,

मेरा साया..

The media circus

After Indira Gandhi's assassination, there was an atmosphere of riots and slaughtering across the country. There was a live broadcast of her funeral. That was the first time I saw something like that on TV. Indira Gandhi was my ideal. I was extremely sad, my leader was murdered so brutally. A few days after this incident, the monthly magazine “India Today” came to our house. From the murder to the subsequent expansion of the whole mess, it was all featured in the magazine. Already saddened by the murder of the leader, the mind became even more unsettled after reading the magazine. Photos printed in it were horrifying. I wanted to know every point of this case but I didn’t want to see this. Should they have had printed those pictures of the manslaughter or not; this question still bothers me. That was when I decided for the first time what I wanted to be in future. I announced in the house that when I grow up, I will become a journalist. My father asked, “Why a journalist?” I had replied; I don’t like these reporters. The truth should be published, but not like this. A national-level magazine should not be spoiling the atmosphere by printing these types of photos. When I’ll become a reporter, then no matter how big the accident might be, my reporting will calm down the atmosphere. My innocent mind…

Today I like to write, but I do not want to be a journalist. There are over 40 news channels in my television. Just as I have to change music channels to hear one nice song, I have change news channels to hear any valuable enough news. At first some news channels and some of its reporters seemed good, but as I grew up and so did my senses, these reporters seemed nothing more than onlookers. Ravish (from NDTVindia) keep on saying that, “Other news channels would have had shown this news such way and would have had said too much about it but we won’t”, and yet he does the same just by saying this. He does not need to say this, we are the ones who will decide if his channel is worth watching or not. A few days ago he wrote a letter to Salman Khan. He said many things such as how good Salman’s work is, what big hearted person Salman is; and along with this he said that Salman should accept his crime and should faithfully serve his sentence. Instead of being an honest reporter and telling him head on that what he did was wrong, Ravish choose to be a sugar coater who knew that even though Salman Khan is in the wrong but still is a powerful man. You do not seem that honest anymore Ravish ji. But still, your news channel is better than the others.

Another news reporter Rajat kapoor’s program "Aapki adalat" is not much different from the Comedy Nights with Kapil. They invite big celebrities and ministers and pretend to sue them. Thackeray family, Hyderabad‘s Ovesies, Salman Khan who is under many serious running trials; what are you trying to prove by inviting such people? That you have the access to invite them or how good your relations are with them? If your court cannot prove their guilt, if your court cannot hold their tongue, even if you sue them, they are not embarrassed or even feel guilty; then I’m sorry Sir but your court is nothing more than a stage show.

For some time, it seems, even the level of the Indian media is slipping. During Modi’s US visit, Indian reports were there more than US’s own journalists. It was quite made fun of, that there is no limit to what extent Indians exaggerate things.

Internationally, Indian media is not respected at all. Perhaps the reason behind this is the silly questions they ask to dim-witted ministers and the so called film stars. Recently after the earthquake in Nepal, people were quite angry with the Indian media. So much so in fact that Nepal’s ambassador in India even said that it seemed as if the Indian media was trying to show a horror movie.

Is the news of how Slaman Khan or Sanjay Dutt went from home to court and court to home necessary? Is running after their car like mad dogs really necessary? Is shouting after them really necessary? Is hanging on trees like a monkey or jumping around the roofs to get one picture of Sania Miza’s wedding and then making a two hour program from that one picture, really necessary?

There are so many good-bad, exciting, inspiring things happening around the world. They need to understand that the channel does not need spices but truthful news. There are already the so called paparazzi to cover up the celebrities. So these channels do not have to worry about Deepika’s new boyfriend or Salman Khan’s wedding.

प्रलय की शुरूआत

ये तो बहुत बुरा हुआ

फुलों की गुफ्तगू को

काटों ने सुन लिया

ये तो गजब हुआ

चाँद-चकोर के प्रेम को

सूरज ने भाप लिया

ये तो कमाल हुआ

शीतल रेत के समन्दर को

गर्म हवा का झोंका उड़ा ले गया

ये तो सितम हुआ

नदियां समुद्र से मिलने से कतरा रही है

उसे खारा बतला रही है

प्रलय की शुरूआत

ऐसे ही होती है

धर्म का उपदेश

चीन के एक धर्म गुरु थे-'ताओ-नू-बू'।वे बड़े ज्ञानी और गुणी थे। दूर-दूर से शिष्य उनके पास शिक्षा ग्रहण करने आते थे। चुनसिन नाम का एक शिष्य था। उसने धर्म गुरू की रात-दिन सेवा की। गुरू जी भी अपने शिष्य की सेवा से प्रसन्न थे। एक दिन शिष्य ने पूछा, गुरूदेव, क्षमा करें, जिस दिन से मैं आपके पास आया हूं, आपने धर्म के सार के विषय पर कभी चर्चा नहीं की।'गुरू ने उत्तर दिया,'वत्स, जिस दिन से तुम यहां आए हो, मैं कभी तुम्हें धर्म का का सार बताए बिना नहीं रहा। सोचो, जब तुमने मुझे नमन किया है, तो क्या मैंने अपना सिर नहीं झुकाया? जब कभी तुमने चाय का कप मुझे थमाया है क्या मैंने प्रेम से उसे ग्रहण नहीं किया है? जो कोई अतिथि हमारे आश्रम में आता है उसकी हम आवभगत नहीं करते?

ये सब धर्म के ही कार्य-कलाप है। इन्हें हम धर्म से प्रथक नहीं मान सकते।'

शिष्य धर्म का सार्थक अर्थ सुनकर नतमस्तक हो गया।

सबक: धर्म का सार ग्रंथों में नहीं विनीत और सरल जीवन में निहित है।

(अहा! ज़िंदगी से)

मन से मन तक

एक बात ऐसी हो

जो मैं कह न सकूं

ओर वो जान जाये

एक बात ऐसी हो

उसके कहने से पहले मैं समझ जाऊ

बात तो तब है

जब हम दोनों कुछ न कहें

और लोग आपस में कहें

वाह इन दोनो की क्या बात है।
