Dividing Country By Small States.

We never learn from past. We divided our country in 1947 by making two countries and then one more country emerged in the map. Now our political leaders want that present states should be divided into many more new states. These leaders want just to save their seats in L.S. or L.A. They do all these trivial activities only for their selfish ends. After being elected, they never complete their vows. They don't hesitate even to change their party just after winning for their selfish ends. They say that it will be good step towards good administration. But I say desirous leaders have tremendous scope in showing their talents in this direction. Making more states means more misuse of public money and increase of corruption.
I cite example of our municipal corporations. They have the task of making a city neat & clean & free from crime. They have to make only one city an ideal city, but see the condition of all local bodies. They start earning money by every possible means. They lack neither money nor talent to give good administration to its citizens, but they do all good to themselves.
We have the example of Madh Koda, the ex-chief minister of Jhar-Khand, a new state. He looted Rs. three crores during his tenure.
In my opinion we need not to divide our country into fragments.

Giving Alms.

We are generous, kind & religious persons. With these qualities we have to keep in mind that it is sin to give alms to young, healthy and strong persons. Some days back I read a news that a maid servent used to give a child aged nine months of her master daily to a begger for only one hundred rupees, so that that begger can beg by emotionally black-mailing public. The maid used to give some sedative to the child. This is a true incident of Banglore city. Begging is sin and givers are also sinners. Each person must work for his/her food. Only too much old and sick persons should be exempted. For such persons many NGOs are working, to whom donation shoul be given by generous persons.
In my city a number of children and young persons start roaming for begging on Saturdays in the name of Saturn deity. Giving coins to them is sin in the way that we are spoiling their future and are helpful in increasing numbers of lazy persons. We have to make our country free fron beggers. Visiters from foreign go back with the vision of these beggers. These beggers are criminals also. They will loot you or kill you, if not given money. They do every low-level doings for begging.
It is the high time that we immediately stop giving alms. Give charity to institutions. which are genuine.

Problem of Senior Persons.

I observe in my life that younger generation always criticises older generation.

Cycle Of Life.

I know this idiom that " Earth is round." But now I realise this fact. We meet persons all of a sudden and we feel some congeniality with each other. Some times this affinity leads to a friendship.
Some times we meet with a person, with whom we are seperated since long.
I am a retired person from M.P. Govt. I was in Education department. I observed that I used to be posted at the same place again & again after taking circles. I wonder how it used to happen, when I never tried for any posting of my choice.
I start believing that we owe to our previous births. Once I met with my one class-fellow at Rewa after leaving my college at Lucknow for about ten years. This incident is of 1972 and even today we are in contact. In the same way I met my with a close friend, with whom I had been studying for ten years from seventh class up to B.A. at Lucknow, in the summer of 2007 at Indore. Not only met, but spent two days with each other in my house. She sings very well and I used to hear songs of all kinds and she never had hitched for a second to sing for me.
I wonder how we are seperated with many of my sibling & cousins.

Personal confession.

Man is full of errors. I mean that a person is an imperfect creature. He/she takes many important decision as soon as he/she grows up. One takes most of the steps, which make no difference in furure course, but some become very important in life.
I also took many decision in my life, which proved right in due course, but for many wrong decision, I am still sorry. I am unable to pardon me for some my wrong decisions. I often remember them, but that can't be undone. I think that only expressing sorry is not suffice. Please Sai make me free from such guilts.
Similarly I faced many words & doings from others, which were gross wrong and for which I was not responsible. I don't forget them, but I try my best to forgive them, who did misdoings to me. I met many persons, who hit me without any reason. whom I never forget, but at the same time I forgive them. I think such experiences are felt by each & every person.
I always remember one thing that " this life is too short for enmity."
Please Lord make me cool and give me Sadbudhhi.

Parenthood.

Parenthood is something, which gives you thought for thinking through out your life. First of all, if you become parents after intense desire, you can value its importance. Our Rishies say that you should get children after sincere prayer to God. I think such children, whom we get after prayers, are special ones. Parenthood is a great resposibility. Parents' duty in shaping a child's personality is more serious. It is no doubt that each parent feel and remain resposible till the tender age of their child/children. As a child grows, resposibility becomes less in degrees. A child grows, adopts some profession and [in India] gets married, parents' duty ends. But I feel that a parent's duty never ends. If children are grown-ups, parents can't preach or say hard words in front of them, but they continuously pray for their children's well being. This prayer never ends till the end of life. I mean to say that a parent keeps on praying for their chldren till death. Some says that it is continued even after their death.

Necessity of a hobby.

I feel that every one should develop a hobby from the very begining. Life keeps you busy for certain age. It is true that one can be busy in his occupation or family affairs till one retires. But no one can enjoy these things for a long period. And most importantly I want to say that with the growing age we need some thing to do, in which you become lost for some time. I think you can be at peace only in work of your liking. I don't want to say that one should escape from worldly turmoils, but to escape from this for some time is very necessary for peace & positive thinking.
If you think that when time will come or you feel such need, you will develop any hobby, it is rubbish. Hobby is developed from early age, not at later age.There are so many hobbies in this world, choose any according to your temperament and follow it.
--Shailbala Misra.

Giving Alms.

There is great difference between giving alms & donation. In Hindi we say Bheekh, which is not good for society, while Dan is good. I feel that giving alms increases laziness, worklessness and negativity. Each & every one should work for living. Begging becomes habitual and beggers loose their hesitation to beg. They become shameless in doing so. Beggers are parasite on society. They become so habitual in begging that they cross all limits in doing so. They adopt lies and  false pretence in begging. They mis-use such money. We see many children along with grown-ups begging in the name of Saturn on Saturdays. We do no good by giving them arms.
Yes ! there should be honest institutions, which should help poor in feeding & giving shelters. Effuliant  persons must give donations to these institutions for this noble cause. Thus we do some thing religious and moral. It is our pious duty to feed poor and needy people. We can help genuine persons personally, if we are sure of their miserable condition. All religions advocate Dan/donation and I strongly believe in it.

Religious Celebration.

It is true that religion plays an important role in human life. Seeing coplexities of life, every one wants some thing, which give peace & solace for some time. Religion is widely used for this purpose. It is a very good tranquillizer for sufferings of human beings. It t gives relief to the person, obsevrsing religious rituals and society also praises such persons. But srituality is totally

Religious Celebration.

We Are Too many.

We, Indians are facing many problems such as corruption, illiteracy, lack of cleanliness & hygine etc, inspite of many achievements. Our scholars achieved great name in the field of IT, medicine, pharmecy and some industries. Unless we overcome above said problems, we can't sit quiet. In my opinion we have to control our over population, then all other problems will be solved gradually. Growth in population is more dangerous than terrorism.
We have a huge army of educated young persons, we must use their unlimited power in it. We go to far-off places in the country and persuade & convince locals to limit their family for their own sake. Though our government is doing a lot in this direction, but still much is to be done.

Value of Parents.

A person craves for love. It is true that this emotion is reciprocal. More we give love & affection to others, we receive it in the same proportion. We love our siblings, spouse, our kids, our relatives, friends & neibhours. If we love others selflessly, we will get it back trmendously. But love of parent to their kids is supreme. Parents love their children unconditionally. They love for love sake. They have no demand or return from their kids. They take pains for them. They suffer for them. They continue to love & care for their kids endlessly without demanding any thing from their children. I do feel it at this ripe age. Perhaps this is the reason that all scriptures and wise men place parents in the categary of gods. They say that parents are objects of worship.
--Shailbala Misra.

Indian Railways.

Cleanliness is a major problem in our country. We fail to maintain our public places neat & clean. Our railway stations are very dirty. Our compartments & toilets are mostly not clean. First of all we can employ thousands of house-keepers in railway services for this work, as our raiways are very profitable. On the other hand it is our pious duty to keep clean our stations, compartments & toilets. For this we can take help our media, which has tremendous capacity to mould our public mind and create public awareness towards this mammoth problem.
Why not we give licences to unemployed young persons for cooli purpose? We face the problem of lifting our luggage at stations. Specially old & sick persons & ladies need such help. One labor told me at Delhi Railway station that we are not given licences for cooligiri, so we regularly pay money to railway police for this work. Thus we have no will power to eradicate corruption and generate will for honest earning.

My Views on Single Unit Family System.

I see that we are trying to immitate western ways of living blindly. Though they are following it in the name of individual freedom. After more than hundred years of experience they are realising bitter effects of their system, as total insecurity, emotionless atmosphere & declyning cofidence. They had been following this single-unit family formula since long to be more happy than their ancesstors, but the outcome is worse in terms of peace & happiness. Now they stand on the square of restlessness & insecurity, from where they will be able to come back to age-old discovered system of society by wise in many years of pursuit. What I want to say that seeing the span of life, years of old age are not very less than youth, so seeing the perils of society of western world, we think over it and start convocating our old system with some moderations.
It is true that generation gap is a reality. Sad experiences of joint family can be felt. Now every young parent don't want to listen to elders' advice in bringing-up their children or modern daughter-in-laws are very careful about their rights, from which they were deprived since long.
But now mother-in-laws are awakened and educated, they are more sensitive towards their daughter-in-laws. I feel that at this juncture of time convocating joint-family system, may seem rediculous, but this is the high time that we go back to our system supported by our wise rishies & saints. Seeing all pros & cons, only joint-family system is good for homo-sepians, who feel more secure and happy among their kins. If we want peace of mind, we must inculcate those habits & qualities in ourselves, which promote community living.

Birthday Celebration.

I read an article, written by a gentle man in Hindustan Times last month that he presented some packets containing note books, pencils, pens & biscuits to poor children on his grand child's birthday. His way of celebration was unique. I appreciate this. I at once decided to follow it.
I observed many ways of birthday celebration. Some do pooja at home followed by lunch or dinner to dear ones. Some invite friends of same age and do a lot of fun with them. Some prefer a hotel or retraurant for birthday celebration. Cake is must in every celebration. In this way only we get enjoyment and make fun on this occasion.
There are so many school-going poor children around us, to whom we can give some importance by giving educational material to them. Though children like sweets more than dry teaching material, we should give some thing to eat also. But to inculcate liking towards reading or instruction, above way of celebration should be adopted by us. Thus we can have some satisfaction that we make happy to deprived children to some extent. Thus I think that we can add this method along with our own way of celebration.

Birthday Celebration.

Expectations of Own Kids.

I am a mother of five kids. I retired as a principal of a Govt. Inter College. I brought up my children with my limited resources and as a working mother. Our is a single family, as my in-laws or my parents couldn't come to live with us due to other major reasons. I tried my best that my kids grow up with a positive attitude towards life. I mean to say that being a teacher I tried to mould them as a a good citizen with complete personality. I tried to be their friend, guide and every thing at the need of hour. Though I was a working woman, I sacrificed my all other social gatherings and social network, except those which were very necessary for a family person. I & my husband always live away from my kins in far-off places of my own permanent place due to being a givernment servant of another state. One can imagine all probable problems & difficulties, which we faced duing long span of life of my struggle with growing of my children. We faced them bravely and now I have no grudge for them.
Now at this stage my all five children are grown-up amd happily married with their children. They are in good economical position, at least in my comparison, which gives me remendous satisfaction.
Now the question arises whether they call us a good parents or not. But I am of confirm view that I can't be called a successful person till last day of my earthly life. I think that I did best of my ability to my children, but many other parents may be far better than me. If you judge a person by their children's academic ability, you can give me positive marks.
Now remaining years of my life are to be spend with satisfaction or not, it depends on Lord Sai.
Only He will do divine justice. Now at this age I just want to repeat His name continually.

Thinking & Doings

It is true that thinking of a person totally differs from doings. If I analyse, I find that thinking process starts from very early age. Every-one thinks that I will adopt this line or I will behave in this manner. I will live with this philosophy. Then one comes in contact from home to society. Observation goes on and thinking amends according to wit and understanding. Simaltaniously doings & actions go on change according to situations. Some time he/she is full of anger. He thinks that I kill my opponent, but he doesn't do this. Some time he is in good mood or full with sympathy for some one and thinks I help him to the utmost, but he can't. Thus this gap remains in full swing. In this way we can say that there are two faces of a personality.
But I think, one can minimize this difference with continuous efforts. As one grows and developes confidence, he sincerely tries to do according to his thinking & views. Slowly this difference becomes less & less. I don't want to impose that this diferrence totally finishes, but can be minimised in much degree. I am of confirm view that a person's thinking clearly reflects on his face. In my view occupation affects a person's thinking & doing, which can clearly be seen on his/her face. It is definite that good & positive thinking gives lasting effect on one's doings and doings leave lasting effect on your physical appearence.

Patriotism And Politics.

Every citizen of India is Indian. For each person love for country must come first in mind. Our politicians are very selfish. They continuously blackmail voters by arousing them through caste & creed. Thus they get ellected and then start taking bribes, favouring their kins and collecting money for their future generations. They complete their terms without caring for people of their consituency. They seldom go near to them share their sorrows or necessities. They are shameless and again go to the public asking votes for them.
Now the time has come citizens of India must ask account from politicians. We need development, progress in every field, not talking about religion or caste. I appeal my all poloticians, who has a bit conscious, stop playing such games with public. Do some thing for removing poverty, do some thing to educate our peaple, do some thing basic medical facilities and a clean atmosphere to our citizens, who are waiting for your sincere efforts. Stop playing with feelings of innocent public. They have nothing to do with those matters, which are totally personal. They strongly need such atmosphere & education, in which they must be taught that they are Indian or Hindustani first.

Detatchment from worldly bindings.

For a " Grihashth" remembering God for maximum time is possible. Many think that it is not possible to attain such mental state for a person, who lives among family members, in which we can recite Lord's name as much time as much possible. I think that it is difficult, but not impossible. Once this question was asked by a devotee to Ramkrishna Paramhans. he replied that yes, it is possible. A grihashth, i.e. one who spends one's whole life among kins, doesn't require to leave home & go to far-off place to remember God. He said that your home is a fortress, in which you are safe to recite God's name through out day & night. For this one has to go to a solitary place for some hours in a day to meditate. With efforts & practice one can develop love for the Supreme, which will enable him to achieve his goal. Living in a family, one need not to worry about food, lodging, security & other necessities. I think that though it is a bit difficult, but not impossible, if you have strong desire and love for God.

Detatchment from worldly bindings.

Life & Time.

I am 66 years old. I used to hear from elders quoting scriptures that only body decays, not soul.
It was then very difficult to realize its true significance. Now it continuously haunts me that verdict. My soul or inner-self, whatever you call it, is just as it was in my early ears. There is no change it it at all.
Some time it occurs in my mind that if I don't look my myself in a mirror, I forget my growing age. Physical incapability reminds me about my old age. Body decays very subtly with the time, which is not realized day to day's life. We feel a sense of growing our vigour up to thirty years of age, but according to my experience becomes slow after that. On many occasion automatically comes out from our tongue that now I am growing old. Such feeling increases day by day. Impact of time clearly is seen on our physical form. Thus seeing our physical incapability we start prepariing ourselves for our end. It is true that life is not real & certain, but death is certain. It is very difficult to prepare our mind for death, which can come any time. Mind say that it is very unfair in the eyes of Supreme Power to live to death. All the more living life ignoring this ultimate truth is also unwise. I think that we should try to live without expecting fruits of our doings, as it is said in Geeta. Only God will tell the hard reality of a human life, if we constantly pray Him to make me to understand this reality.

Confusion among young generation.

This question puzzles me for a long time. Because of general election 2009 of Lok-Shabha I am pondering over this problem. The army of young voters increased, as vote to right is given to the young person of 18 years old. But they are confused, as to whom I give my valuable vote. 

Reasons are:--1. They are not given proper education about politics during their schooling.

2. All types of propaganda against each-other parties and candidates leads them only towards confusion. 

3. These days criticing only for criticism often becomes absurd.

4. It is true that once one wins as MP or MLA, he or she becomes very rich within a few years. The evil of corruption is so deep in politics, it must be rooted out. Voters should be wise enough to elect honest persons, which ever party they belong to. In my opinion our young generation has enough power to discard corrupt candidates from politics.

5. We have to abolish crimilisation from politics. Voters must take a vow not to give votes to such persons, who have criminal back ground at any cost.

6. The importance of national parties in a democratic nation is beyond dispute. But to eradicate corruption & greed for ill- gotten money, now the time has come to think on this elephantine problem and every voter must not vote for such persons. Parties presenting such candidates must not be sent to the our highest legislature.

Women's Day

Yes! today is women's day. How rediculous to celebrate this day? No-doubt we see glamourous shine of fist-ful women around us. But women's condition in general is not at all satisfactory in the whole world. It is better in some places in comparison to easern part of globe. Every civilised person realises our importance for the uplift of homeo-sepians and regularly exptesses general comments, but when it comes to individual behaviour, he is not a different one.
I worked as teacher among adolesent girls for forty years. I saw very pitiable & miserable condition of females, for whom my heart aches. It is true that I have experience of lower middle & lower classes of the society. But I mix with upper class also. Very rare blossons are seen, where you can feel satisfaction. The condition of women is different in different societies. In some cases women aquired honourable places with their own extra ordinary qualities. They got it after long efforts. Their condition is worst in the middle east countries. How long we keep quiet on this topic ? Or mere saying some words on it will do good for women. Do some solid efforts for it.
Suggestions:-- 1. Accept a girl child with enthuism.
2:-- Give them proper nutrition.
3:-- Educate girls as much as possible.
4:-- Bring them up, as they become ecomomically independent.
5:-- Fill confidence in them.
All this is to be done by each & every parent.
In my opinion in this way we can do some solid effors for the cause of women.

We must pay attention towards sanitation.

My father used to say that "Cleanliness is Godliness." But I see that we Indians generally ignore it. It is considered good for the prosperity of a family that if a lady, first thing in the morning, cleans her courtyard. It means that cleanliness in a house is necessary. A child develops this habit since childhood right from his home.
First we must keep clean our house. We shouldn't throw our garbage out side our house. If we do so, we forget that air around our house & in the house blows, comes from out side. By doing so, polluted air will come into our homes.
Whenever we go or walk on the road, we easily throw all un-used things on the road. Many persons easily spit on the road. it is highly objectionable.
We travel in the bus, train or by any other means, we generally throw all things of not use on the floor. I travel frequently and many times in A/C class, I see passengers don't take pain to dump their garbage in dust-bins. Gererally so-called educated persons don't think a moment throwing their waste on the floor.
In my opinion we don't pay any attention towards sanitation & cleanliness of our public places, historical places and many other places, we frequently visit for our pleasure. We never feel ashamed of our this dirty habit.
We see numeruos advertisements about hundreds of items. But hardly see about cleanliness & sanitation of our public places. I say that each & every agency must pay roll in this direction. We should start a national movement against dirtiness and un-hygenic habit of our peaple.
Cleanliness is a habit inculcated since childhood. We have to make our country neat, clean & beautiful through our good habits.

Life Of Senior Citizens.

I am sisty six years old. All the time I think about life of old persons.
These views are strictly personal, which may not be aplicable to many of old persons.
I firmly believe in this saying:--Youth is the gift of nature, but age is the work of art.
I think that only physical capacity decreases in old age. We think and mentally feel in the same spirit as we think in youth. It is true that we can't do that exercises, which we used to do in youth. We can't work as fast & can't eat as much as I can in earlier age.
We have to change our mode & pace of life with growing age. But at the same time there is a feeling of satiation with growing age. We become bore or satisfied with many activities and delicious food. We start liking many other dishes.
I want to say that in my opinion depression, sadness & dis-satisfaction don't personify old age.
With the company of good friends, some walking, some Pranayam & some soothing music senior persons can live as happy, enthusiastic and satiated as they live in youth. Old persons should do work of their liking and develope hobby, as they have leisure time now to fill them. Old persons are very useful for the family, society and country due to their treasure of experiences of life, which is not bookish but real. There is no need to behave them as old persons for the fear of society, as young persons also have to follow laws made by a cultured society.

System of education in Govt. Schools.

I spent forty years of my life in school education in Mandhya Pradesh Government. At the time of my joining this department as a lecturer in 1966, its quality was far superior. Our government schools produced many scientists, literary-persons, abled politicians, engineers & doctors. But gradually its quality decreases and quantity increases. Schools at primary and middle level grew like mushroom in every nook & corner. Their core interest is to earn momey & money.

How the part of instruction devalued in govt. schools, I tell, as I personally experienced. First of all, some appointments of teachers are worsely influenced by politicains. As a result of it persons with genuine degree don't enter in it. Secondly teachers started holding hands of politicians of their choice. Teachers, leaving their class-room teaching, used to go to receive Netas at railway stations. They have least interest in teaching. Thirdly teachers are given several other tasks out side their work-place, such as election work, pulse-poleo-program & Rojgar-garentee Yojana etc.

The biggest punishment for teachers is their transfer from their home towns. They get no facility of housing, educating their children & house-running etc. At present govt. schools are turned in examination -centres only. There is no teaching, but conducting examinations through out the year.

I claim that inspite of all these short-comings our schools have very qualified teachers. They are getting good salaries. Government is trying to provide more facilities in schools. I advise that government must stop taking other than teaching works from our teachers. Secondly citizens should send their children for teaching in government schools. Situation in these schools can be improved with our combined efforts.

Three Incidents.

Three incidents recently happened in my life with- in ten days. I am a spectator, who is watching them like a dumb. Its sequence is also reversed. Normally such sequences don't occur in this way.

These incidents affected my three siblings out of eleven. The very first is heart-breaking misfortue befalled on us through the demise of my brother's 31 years' old daughter, Maneesha on 11th February 2009. She left behind her a two years old daughter, bereaved parents and a shocked husband. We are from a family, where awaking from all sides is present. According to my information about seventy years ago my step- mother was died in her prime youth. But since then no such misfortune happened. Maneesha's treatment was conducted in Banglore & then in Delhi, not in a small place. Her parents & in-laws are very rich persons and they left no efforts to save her life. But Death snatched away her from us and we are left with brocken heart with our limitless prayers. My tears, like me, are also helpless and start flowing effortlessly. Mnaeesha's death is beyond the capacity of a mortal human being's understanding to console one's mind.

Second incident is very pleasant and essencial in life. The only daughter, Shefali, got married with a boy of her choice after a long wait on 16th. February 2009. We couldn't enjoy this marriage even after our efforts after Mnaeesha's death.

Third incident is rather happiest in one's life. My another sister's only daughter-in-law is blessed with a son on 20th February 2009. Her daughter-in-law had suffered with two mis-carriages before becoming mother this time, after three years of her marriage. Really it is the occasion to be happy.

God showed me three faces of one's life. Normally its sequence is 1-birth, 2-marriage, 3-death.
But I viewed it in reverse way.

I am astonished why I feel happiness on such different situations of life. Now, I see no difference in these incidents. There is no need to rejoice or be sad on such situations.

You readers ! must be moved to hear Mnaeesha's departure from this world in such tender age. The experience of such incidence shook me from the very bottom of my heart. My life- philisophy has been shaken. No person can feel satisfaction and be proud through one's life till one sees one's last day. Let other persons judge them.

Child & Education.

It is true that a child must be given utmost importance in the society. Rousseoue correctly says that " child is the father of man". I also strongly feel that for the progress of a nation, its children must be reared -up very love & care. But alas! in my country they are treated with negligience and indiference. No one has the time to give affection & care towards them.
Mother is the first teacher of a child. Educated mothers are mostly working mothers and house-wives either illiterate or nor realising its importance. In my opinion there is no place of scolding-or beating a child. But I see every-where that children are being treated with cruelty. Their child-hood is suppressed by labour and wihms of parents.
Even at schools they are not given proper treatment. They are subjects of most insensivity in Government schools. There is a bit better situation in private schools, bit not at all satisfactory. Their innnocence is ruined by social senario.
Children are our future treasure, who will be strong pillers of our country. How can a nation be strong, whose children are neglected. I am very much senstive towards childhood. If I see some-one to be cruel towards children, I can't forget through my life. It leaves tremendous impact on my mind.
First of all mothers must give full time to their children and tenderly educate them with care & love. Love never spoils a child. Have only as many children as you can look after.
Secondly our schools should admit children only according to their schools' capacity. Children are not be treated like machines or tools. They are the hope of our nation. Bringing-up our children with extreme care will lead our country to great heights.

Corruption in my country.

The word " corruption" is not a new problem in my country. Whenever I ponder over problems, which hinder my nation's progress, this problem comes first in my mind. Since childhood I hear about this problem and hoping that it will be reduced with the time, but it shows no better situation. There is a proverb-- which comes first egg or hen? It can be applied in many problems, but it can't be applied in the case of leprosy of corruption. It arises from the top of the persons. We think we are more religious persons than other nationals, while we stood very high in corrupt countries.
My nation produces "geniuses" in all fields, but no one is able to evolve methods to eradicate this top most illness. If our scholars decide to finish it from its root, they will defintely root out it. But we are not showing any such will power. In my opinion all other problems, like literacy, family-planning, cleanliness & hygiene will be resolved soon, if this is completely root out from my country.
We regularly show our patriotism on many occasions, then why we think to earn money through dis-honest means. We immediately stop giving & taking money through corrupt means, then there is no need to show our love for our nation.
I feel that our NRIs are far more patriotic, who regularly send there hard-earn money to my country from out-side.
Now there is a ray of hope from personals of private sector, who are working very hard to earn money without corrupt means. They work ten to twelve hours a day, which will lead my nation ahead.
I am a retired teacher and tried to tell my students to finish this problem in my class-room teaching. There must be some impact on their minds, which will be good for my nation.

My Mood.

I am extremely disturbed due to demise of my dear niece--Maneesha. Alas! she was just 32 years old. She passed away on 11 February 2009 at about 5.00 p.m. at Delhi. She left behind her bereaved husband, who is a jem of a man, her very loving daughter of two & half years old and her parents. Thinking about her tender age I am unable to reconcile with this truth. As soon as I think about her, my heart aches, bleeds and tears roll on my cheeks.
I used to think that persons, who are God-feering, rightous, religious, honest and kind, can never be punished like that. I want just to know what consolation should be taken by me to follow rightous path in life. Please Sai tell me why this happened to my brother, who is too good to be believed.
Unless you directly or indirectly suggest me some solution, I can't be normal due to this heart-felt demise of my 32 years old Maneesha. Please Sainath I love You whole -heartedly, but this sad incident shakes me deep inside. According to my temperament, I used to justify each befallen sorrow, but this time I am helpless. Each & everyone in my family prayed for her life, but Sai didn't melt. Why? Please Sainath understand me.
Bow to Lord Sai. A very sad lady at present--Shailbala Misra.
