Dear Mr Lee...

-
Wishing all Indians a very Happy Republic Day! The 61st republic day. Honorable President, Mr Lee Myung bak, thank you for joining us for this year's parade. We hope you enjoyed every moment of our celebration and appreciated the effort put into every performance. The fog factor can be left to nature's mercy. Yes, it was the first republic day in many years that was greeted with dense mist on and around the Rajpath. 
          Sir,
                 Like every year, the 2010 parade exhibited the discipline, passion and valor of Indian soldiers. From BSF to NCC students all paid respect to the Indian Tricolour in the proud memory of the enforcement of our constitution. The day commemorates the transformation of India into a People's nation. The eye-catching processions of different states depicting their culture, major products and characteristics amused and awed our Korean visitors. Their smiles and nods unveiled the same. These processions included our Mumbai's 'dabevala' representing Maharashtra state. The folk dances by Kerala, Gujarat and Rajasthan added frolic to the rhythm of drums. We found you tapping your leg to our music Mr Lee. Surely you enjoyed watching it. These processions were followed by the performances by school children to signify the importance of healthy lifestyle. A small aerobics skit. All eyes rose to the flypast of the Indian Air force with fighter planes zooming in different formations, cutting through the dense fog. 
           I hope you were impressed by the zeal and discipline in our nation Mr Lee and your visit turns out to be a catalyst for the trade ties of the two countries. Thankyou once again.

Ik begane sheher me  Safar shuru kiya tha humne Na socha tha ki itne Gehre rang ye chhodega apne Faasle na rakhne diye  Is haseen Dilli ne koi  Har boond me apna naam bhar diya isne Inhi boondon ki baarish aaj  Aankhon se ho chali hai  Dilli ki hi mitti aaj bheeg rahi hai  Apna banana iss sheher ko  Kumzor Dil ke bas ki nahi  Hum to bilkul mulayam aaye the  Socho Hume bhi bahadur bana Diya isne  Saath le ja rahe hai dosti ka khazana  Aisi shayad hi fir kabhi takdeer mil paegi  Ke badh chale hum ek ek kadam manzil ki oor  Aur saath dosti ki khushboo jaegi  Na socha tha ke roenge kabhi  Sheher to ye chhodna hi tha hume Magar himmat aage badhne ki bhi issi sheher ne di hai Aaj roenge us himmat se hi  Alvida kehti hun aaj  Inn sadko ko inn galiyon ko  Inn doston ko Iss begane sheher ko  Na chahkar bhi tujhme ghul gayi hun Mai  Dekh ... Shayad ab Mera rang tujhme kahi dikhne lage ...

When The Buddha Smiled on India...

On 12 th October 1973, David Davies- a geophysicist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology who worked on seismic detection of underground nuclear tests- predicted that India would be the sixth country to conduct nuclear weapon tests. After 7 months he was proven correct by the ingenuity of Indian scientists and the fortitude of the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. Canada sold a 40 megawatt Canadian-Indian Reactor, U.S. (CIRUS) to India in 1956. India had the necessary manpower and capacity to develop and test a nuclear weapon. The heavy water needed to control Nuclear Fission had been provided by the US. So what made India abstain from performing the nuclear test and from becoming the first Nuclear Power? It is probably the chaste intention to maintain a mellow camaraderie with the other countries or a mere lack of grit in the Indian leadership. Meanwhile India refused to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation treaty in 1970.  When questioned over it, our ambassador to t

A Brave Heart!

The sun shone mildly in her balcony lovingly caressing her feet and face as she sat at the open door with her laptop sitting on her long spread legs as she typed her thoughts out. The winters were very cold this year. Public holidays and weekends were the only days when one could soak in the warm daylight in Delhi. The sun had a healing effect on her both physically and emotionally. Delhi had given her a lot and also taken a lot from her. What it couldn’t take and no one ever could take from her was her writing. Writing was therapeutic to her. As her face now basked in its brilliance, the sun brought back memories of the past years making her feel lucky for what she had in life.  Her balcony looked out into a beautiful square shaped garden with flowering plants on all sides and a well-kept bed of grass in the middle. Birds flew past the balcony every now and then chirping about in a very Delhi style chatter. She would often laugh at the various sounds that a simple cuckoo sittin
