An encounter with an endangered emotion cum feelings

I got urge to write this Blog when I was.........or better I should narrate the same to you and leave it up to you whether it was worth writing and reading or not.
So, I start herein.... It was a day when I had nothing to do or had no intention to do anything or was too tired after a long day  than to surf channels of T.V. and suddenly had to pause my remote button, which (Remote) would have been suffering from unbearable pain due to its merciless exploitation by me since last few minutes. Anyway I am not here to tell you Tragic biography of Remote Control of T.V. and its unbearable pain due to merciless use of it by viewers and sense of  ownership over it by whoever having control of it, no matter for how much time.
Coming on subject of this writing, My fingers stopped to do more service to unending thrust of my eyes to watch something more worthy or pleasing like an imperialistic king who never gets satisfied and want to swallow everything.
Coming on the subject...So, I  felt compelled to pause on a Movie channel showing a Hindi Movie. You may wonder ...what is so uncommon about a Hindi Movie being shown on Hindi Movie Channel, which they do so repeatedly. Here, I am not going to write about Policy of Entertainment Channels of showing Movies repeatedly, no matter it is in Hindi or dubbed in Hindi from Hollywood or South Indian Movies or Bhojpuri Movies and Loyal viewers like us.
Coming on the subject, I paused the channel because  there was something which touched me. But it was not content of the movie which was as usual very common and not novel but the repetition or lifting of the stories from here and there. Anyway I am not going to tell you the remarkable talent of our filmmakers who instead of getting inspired from others (which is ok) but just copy the same and sell it among real appreciator of novelty and creativity i.e. we the Audience.
Coming on the subject, I was touched by the Title of the Movie, and it compelled me to remember the feeling which is already in category of endangered emotions of Human beings. This title or rather Word or rather a feeling in itself forced me to think, when the last time I encountered with it, and I really felt terrible that I don't remember my experience with it lately. We have got so busy in the worldly things and collecting the same for the Happiness that we have started forgetting the very gifted emotions to every Human being by Nature. Again I am not going to discuss the the irony of us, who have created and living in the virtual societies and being so addicted in virtual social networking that we have no time for people around us, rather we get busy in updating our status or framing status to update and checking notifications of comments at the cost of extinction of true emotions. Here, I am afraid to tell you that soon this emotion may be left out by Dictionary due to its ignorance and non-applicability in these days. I feel terrible that slowly we are becoming so mechanical that we are missing the small happiness which lies in such emotions.
I feel go on and on ....but do not feel to conclude it , but it need to be done....so I summarize it merely by revealing that TITLE which compelled me to pause my Remote  and write this Blog. This word  is mixed effect of innocent feelings and its subsequent pure action. It connects the Internal Purity with Mechanical Actions and resultant is abrupt but innocent reaction of people, who still have not lost the purity of their emotion but only keep forgetting it connect with Life................................................the Title or Emotion was "गुदगुदी"

मुझे मालूम नहीं : Just a thought to Pen down

मुझे मालूम नहीं 

अब ये राहें कब मुरेगी , कब तक ये धुप रहेगी 
कब छाँव मिलेगा , मुझे मालूम नहीं l

कब तक नींद के आगे कोसो दूर वो चैन मिलेगी 
कब वो ख्वाब बसर होगी ,मुझे मालूम नहीं l

कब तक ये कारवां यूँ ही चलता रहेगा 
कब पनाह मिलेगी आस को साँझ की, मुझे मालूम नहींl

पर मुझे मालूम है की आगे जाना, और आगे जाना है
आँखों में मंजिल और खवाबो में साहिल ले, और आगे जाना है
मुझे मालूम है ll

My Learning of/from Mahatma: Father Of Nation


Since Childhood, I have been listening about The Great Gandhi: Father of Nation. Like every other children who think always high of his father and never think or imagine any flaw in character and acts of father, I gave Gandhi a place near to God and not ready to listen and always ready to argue with anyone who had to say low about Gandhi.I can recall number of incidence when I feel like defending and did so on number of topics like Gandhi Vs. His dream of Complete Swaraj or Gandhi Vs.his act of not defending Bhagat Singh, Gandhi Vs.his indifference with Subhash Chandra Bose,Gandhi Vs.his favoritism towards Nehru,  Gandhi Vs.his attitude or method to get independence and most particularly Gandhi Vs.attaining divided freedom and consequential loss to nation etc.

Slowly with time and  being able to differentiate facts and perception and able to access  Books and information about him etc. my approach of defending Gandhi or rather being irritated while listening low about him, got diluted. Now I feel more liberated or in other words persistent with any talk about Gandhi. Now, I can answer or argue or laugh or ignore, any loose talk about Gandhi. The change in my approach is because now I understood that no body could defend Gandhi because he never defended himself ... because being defensive make other feel right of what they do. He always believed in carrying his work by his own or at least try to do by himself and trying to find happiness of all by way of truth. This approach has helped me in my own experience of my life till date.
Now, as growing youth of Nation , I understand or able to understand that our elders may have flaws or have done mistakes, which could not be defended or defense may not be right approach  but the best way...show our love or  to admire their statute is to follow the right path shown by them.
Now with help of  Gandhi's perspective of life ..I understood that we have to answer or respond to challenges put before us by people or  life...but  by our own method with believe in us rather than just copying other's method without any logic. 

I need not say why Gandhi was great , but I only want to say that he never projected his greatness or never hid his flaws or mistakes....and as far as him as  father of Nation is concerned .. irrespective of  flaws or mistakes of him , if any (Even Father is 'God like' not 'God' but 'human being' , so may have some flaws)....he still is Father of Nation and he gave people of India a daring to think about freedom and personal strength to act for the same.
