A JNU alumni, A Jat died for the country but the others ...

It is said that 'the person who gets chance to die for the country is the luckiest person on this earth.' The one country named INDIA, and there are many brave soldiers who get martyr every day to save the borders of this country. They sacrifice their life happily so that the citizen can sleep a peaceful night. They are saving the country's border but are we saving our country?

Capt. Pawan Kumar, 23, an elite Para commando died fighting terrorist on Sunday in Pampore at Kashmir valley.  He was one of the four security personnel killed in the operations at Pampore where terrorist are hold up in the government building.



He was born on the day of Army day, graduated from the 123 course of the National Defence Academy and was commissioned into the Army on December 14, 2013. He was with the 10 Para Special forces and in service for less than three years. Source

His father lost his sole son but still he proudly says 'I have only one son and I sacrificed my son for this country. No father can be prouder than this.'

He was a JAT from Jind district in Haryana and a degree holder from the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) in Delhi.

JAT, who are fighting for reservation and JNU students who are fighting against its own country. Capt. Pawan Kumar coincidently belongs to these two group. who are now on the peak of burning the country.

When these group of people are fighting against its own country, this brave soldier sacrificed his life to protect this country. He loves his country, and all that matter was to love for the country and not calls of 'Azadi' on campus or reservation demand by his community members in Haryana.

'Kisiko reservation chahiye to kisiko azadi bhai, Hume kuch nahi chahiye bhai, Bas apni Razai' (Some want a reservation, some independence, I don't need anything brother, I only want my quilt) writes 23 year old captain of the elite force in his last facebook post.

This statement of his truly depicts that he was sad with the ongoing demands of Jat in Haryana and blind independence movement going at JNU campus.

I big laugh to everybody who thinks that reservation can solve their problems, reservation need to be distributed on the basis of ability, not on the basis of caste.

JNU students, what are you getting by doing all these things? you are born in this country, you are here standing on this holy land and you are blaming this land only. If you really want to do something for this country then stand up do some good for poor, do something for the people who do not get two time-meals, use your education don't be so blind to blame your own country. You are the future of this country don't put this country in shame!!

Capt. Pawan Kumar got a respectful death !! A death where he dedicated his life to this mother land.... Spreading violence in the country, blaming their own country with the misuse of  'Freedom of Speech' are the something which hurts this brave soldier.

The last message of this brave soldier really depicts his sadness for the ongoing events in the country.

Rest in peace Sir !! you are the gem of this country!! we will never forget you!!  But the things which keep hurting is A JNU alumni, A Jat died for the country but the others ...

Where is our country heading?

It was a new morning and like other days & I pick the newspaper. As expected, the front page of the newspaper was filled with various happening in our country. It has been few weeks since we are listening to the matter of Rohith Vermula, Kanhaiya and JNU protest. So no wonders, newspapers have covered that story.


I actually didn't know anything about these matters but at the time when media gave extreme coverage to the suicide of Dalit student Rohith Vermula then I smelled that this will go to blow many fires in the country. What actually hit my head is media is putting a prefix of DALIT word before his name. I really don't want to comment any section of the society but there are many other people who do suicide, so why does not media put their caste before the name? His suicide becomes the top news followed by various allegation on government. Even one boy burned up the tricolour. 



Coming to JNU protest, The leader Kanhaiya, and many others have spread many anti-national slogans. Many people say that it is a 'right of freedom of speech'. When the news came the first came into my mind is that they are really an Indians? They are the youths, future of this country and they are scratching the motherland where they are living !! This is the country which gave them identity and they feel no shame to support a terrorist. 


What makes this matter worst is in spite decreasing this matter, politicians and media are filling their selfish spoon and watching the whole country burning. I don't know what kind of education these students have! They need to first stand on their legs and then need to protest for logical things. 

On the one side where India is looking to move globally, this kind of people is pulling the leg of the country. Why they don't simply understand that this kind of meaningless protest will give them nothing! 

On the other side, Jaats are protesting for increasing the percentage for OBC category in Government jobs. Have you forget Mr. Hardik Patel, who also stand for increasing percent of reservation for Patidar in education and government jobs. 



Where one side India is making a stage for welcoming global funds in the country through 'Make in India' campaign, there are a group of people like these who are barking on the motherland, begging for quota or reservation!

In short, India is burning from everywhere and that too for silly reasons. 

Why the youth never understand that it's time for you, what you are doing now will affect your future will affect the future of the country. You are born in this country, you need to contribute the development of country nor you need to leg pull the country put it in a pit. 

It is really sad, in the era of 21 st century people still fighting for quota, blaming the mother nation and portraying India as a deep sad backward country!

Just once think about those brave soldier who gives their life happily for this nation! You are standing here just because of these martyr soldiers. Read this letter by Major Gen GD Bakshi. Nobody has right to blame the country!! Recently I read this line somewhere and this literally touched my heart

Today soldiers think that from where the attack is going to happen from outside or from the inside of country!

Think wisely !! Think Rationally !!

Food wastage - A serious issue





Food is our primary source of survival. No one can live in a scarcity of food. However, there are many who do not respect and waste food without limit. Let me share one incident which happens yesterday, while returning to home.

I was eating panipuri to one among the shop in our area. There was one lady who refused to eat the whole plate of served Sev puri  just because it was spicy. The man asked to put Meethi (sweet) Chutney so that she can eat it but she refused with pride saying I'll not touch any of these puri, just throw them away.' Why I mention this instance here the plate of Sev puri which she thrown away can feed the hunger of one child. I know she was not able to eat because it was spicy but she can ask to pour the meethi chutney and can eat the same plate of sev puri which she has thrown away. 

I never understand why people do not respect food and finish the whole served food. If you can't eat the entire food then why you take it on your plate? 


Since childhood, we were taught that food is 'Anndevta' thanks to god before eating your meal. In our village people literally fold their hand and worship the ann (food) and give food aachman. This is not only the concern of spirituality but it is a way to respect the food.

Do you know India ranks 63 among 88 countries in global hunger index. 





People can easily blame to government for insufficiency but does we ever tried to figure out how much food I AM wasting or how much food is wasting in our home? Our tradition and culture are somehow responsible for food wastage. We consider that lavish party, wedding with end number of menu items can uplift our social status. The fact is not a single food item in the occasion get finished thus we throw them. Many people attending party or wedding takes various food items and without finishing the food they throw them in the dustbin. Is it really acceptable in the country where a majority of people dies due to hunger? Nope !

Why is food wastage serious issue? 


  • 25% of fresh water used to producing the food is ultimately wasted, even as millions of people do not have access to drinking water. When you calculate the figure in cubic kilometers this is the bit more than an average river.
  • Even though the world produces enough food to feed the entire world population, food wastage is ironically behind the billions of people who are malnourished. The number of hungry people in India increased by 65 million more than the population of France. According to the survey by Bhook (An organisation working towards reducing hunger) in 2013, 20 crore Indians sleep hungry on any even night. About 7 million children died in 2012 because of hunger/malnutrition. 
  • Acres of land are deforested to grow food. Approximately 45% of India's land degraded primary due to deforestation, unsustainable agriculture practice and excessive groundwater extraction to meet the food demand. 
  • 300 million barrels of oil are used to produce the food is ultimately wasted. 
Data from here 

Can you still waste food after reading above data? If you still not convinced then spend just one day at the farm and you will get to know how many farmers sweat to produce the crop, which gets served on our plate.

The things will not change until we will not bring change in yourself. We can  prevent food from spoiling by just doing micro things given below:


  • Always shop and cook limited or adequate food for your family. 
  • Plan your food items, before entering in the kitchen. In that way, you can avoid extra spoil.
  • Be little sensible while organising food in party and wedding. You can apply a little note of 'do not spoil food'. Although it doesn't look ethical but when people will know your reason they will definitely appreciate your motive. 
  • If any food left after party then you can gather that food and give it some of NGO near to you. At least, you can able to feed some hunger people.
  • You can reuse the leftover rice and roti in next meal. 
  • Make finishing your place is the habit! 
  • Make your child respect food and stop them from wasting food. 
  • If you are hotelier than kindly add a little note of 'do not spoil food'on the wall of your hotel.
  • Whenever you go out for dinner or lunch make sure you order that much quantity of food which you can finish. 
  • If you are refrigerating perishable goods then learn to store them properly.
  • Even though some food left then create a compost in your premises and use this leftover, rotten food as a fertilizer. In this way, you are recycling the food.
These are just simple steps and we all can follow this. Please always remember that the food which you are throwing can feed one hunger. Make a habit of respecting food and teach this to your children too. 

Please take that much food which you can eat !!! do not throw the food!!!

Impact of social media, let's evaluate

Impact of social media, let's evaluate 

When we are talking about social media the first thought come in our mind is facebook, twitter, Whatsapp. I am just mentioning these three social media tools here but there are many other social media which are impacting our life. 

At that time when we didn't have a mobile phone we use telephones after that mobile phone started to come and then the things are still developing. Best quality of the camera in phones, music system in phones then internet. 

Simultaneously, the idea of getting closer to the people was also on the move and finally facebook, twitter, WhatsApp has become an integral part of our life. As every coin has two aspects same applies to the social media too. Here I am listing some pros and cons of social media on our life. 

Pros: 

1) Instant connection:

I still remember the day when my mom uses to walk far away to find the STD booth to call her mother. She has to maintain the time and money so she talks to her mom only for 3 to 4 minutes. But now when everybody has mobile phones with affordable price tag. Now she can see her mom while talking. All credit goes to video calling.

2) Better communication: 

Social media has revamped our communication now we can connect with everyone without any hassle and problem. 

3) Marketing:

Social media has become one of the easiest platforms to market one's service and product with minimal cost. You tube has various videos to explain about the product, Blogosphere is another way of marketing. The social media has really made advertising an easy task.

Cons: 

1) The importance of relation decreased: 

Even though social media has helped everyone to connect with the far-flung friends but while connecting with them we tend to forget our REAL friends and family.

2) No privacy:

Today every person love to share their life event on social media. But one has to be careful while sharing such kind of privacy online. There are many cases has reported where one have to face consequences. 

3) Cyber bulling:

Online harassment has become the frequent drawback. The photos which you have posted on the internet can become the tool to harass. 

4) Time-consuming with no productivity:

Frankly speaking, on one hand when social media is helping to save our time, on the other hand they consume our time. Really chatting, forwarding useless stuff to everyone is just time confusing process. There is nothing so productive about this. 

Verdict:

Social media is helping us to gain many things in life but in the context, they are spoiling our life. As the excess of anything is harmful so the same rule applies to social media. One has to be careful while sharing their personal stuff online. Whereas social media is become the one step ahead in the communication. So choose your side and move on that.
