Last Week

Last week was quite eventful for me as I got opportunity to lead one of the premier youth organization of the country concerning the preservation of culture of the country. Though I was unwilling to take up this job but the then Chief of the organization was a model for me whom I can never hope to emulate in my life. I offer a few lines in his honour.

You are like a bedrock of strong will and determination
Like a light house guiding the ship of lives of people
Like a pole star, fixed in your belief
guiding and inspiring the young people of my country
You are my guide, friend,philosopher
And above all my mentor.
An ideal being, blend of virtues diverse
An epitome of God's creation you are
Atleast to me.
May your affection shower on me ceaselessly
Like a fountain which flows continuously.

I am thankful to all those who have sent their good wishes to me and hope that I will continue to get their cooperation and affection in future too. Good wishes of my well wishers have given courage and hope to take up this responsibility making me the third Chief of the organization from college the first two being Dr. S.S. Shrotriya and Dr. A.L. Jain to whom I dedicate the above lines.  

An Eventful Week

Last week was quite eventful as I got my first opportunity to attend a film festival at Udaipur though only for a day. It was a nice collection of documentaries on the social, economic and political themes of political relevance. The movie I watched of Gulabi Gang was epitome of women empowerment and their growing sensitivity toward their surroundings in order to raise their voice against atrocities against women in particular and against humanity in general. A hundred salutes to a great personality like Ms. Sampat Pal, who could garner such confidence and awareness in her followers. Besides this I got chance of an outing with my colleagues along with their families to Bhanwar Mata for a day. It was quite a nice trip to the lap of nature. Then I got opportunity to attend farewell dinner to outgoing Principal of Sainik School first in the guest house of the school and then at Castle Vijaypur at Vijaypur which is situated some 30 kms from Chittorgarh. Perhaps today we will be giving parting gift to the Principal. Another good news that came from Punjab is finalization of wedding of my wife's nephew who is working in the States and will be coming for this occasion in the month of December. Today I am hoping to get more news from Punjab as my better half will be coming back after seeing my son off to France for his research degree in Law. She also went to Punjab to inquire about the well being of her parents for a week.
