मैं -"कोई नहीं "

ओंम प्रकाश नौटियाल

मैं समय का बदलता नजरिया हूँ ,
स्वयं को भूलते रहने की प्रक्रिया हूँ ।
मुझे अब लोग कम पहचानते हैं ,
कुछ भ्रमित नवोदित तो
मेरा अस्तित्व तक नकारते हैं ।

उसने सभी को उनके नामों से बुलाया,
सना , शीना ,अलीना कई बार दोहराया ।
अपने भी होने का बोध कराने के लिए ,
उसका मासूम स्नेह पाने के लिए ,
मैंने कहा , मैं भी यहाँ हूँ ,
मैं सच हूँ
ना कि पौराणिक कथा का पात्र हूँ ,
या धुंधले इतिहास की व्यथा मात्र हूँ ,
पर उसका स्वर निर्णायक था , कहा -
नहीं मैं 'कोई नहीं'

मैंने फ़िर दलील दी ,
मैं भी सबकी तरह साँस लेता हूँ,
बेखुदी तक में ख़ुद को भांप लेता हूँ ,
मेरी धड़कनों की कम्पन स्पष्ट है ,
मैं हूँ -यह स्वीकारने में तुम्हे क्या कष्ट है ,
उसने कठोरता से कहा ,
मैं जब भी अपना मुंह खोलता हूँ
सिर्फ़ झूठ और झूठ बोलता हूँ ,

मैंने साहस कर पूछा
अगर मेरे झूठ का वजूद है
तो मेरा क्यों नहीं
उसने तिलमिलाकर कहा
अस्तित्व ? झूठ के तो पाँव तक नहीं होते ।

मैंने एक बार फ़िर अर्ज किया
अब बतला भी दो कि मैं कौन ,
वह कुछ देर तो रही मौन ,
फ़िर अविचलित स्वर में दोहराया ,
कि मैं " कोई नहीं"

* DR. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam 's Speech in Hyderabad

(Forwarded by Sri Sulabh Kothari )

Why is the media here so negative?

Why are we in India so embarrassed to recognize our own strengths, our achievements? We are such a great nation. We have so many amazing success stories but we refuse acknowledge them--- Why?

We are the first in milk production.
We are number one in Remote sensing satellites.
We are the second largest producer of wheat.
We are the second largest producer of rice.
Look at Dr. Sudarshan , he has transferred the tribal village into a self-sustaining, self-driving unit.

There are millions of such achievements but our media is only obsessed in the bad news and failures and disasters.

I was in Tel Aviv once and I was reading the Israeli newspaper. It was the day after a lot of attacks and bombardments and deaths had taken place. The Hamas had struck. But the front page of the newspaper had the picture of a Jewish gentleman who in five years had transformed his desert into an orchid and a granary. It was this inspiring picture that everyone woke up to. The gory details of killings, bombardments, deaths, were inside in the newspaper, buried among other news.

In
India
we only read about death, sickness, terrorism, crime.

Why are we so NEGATIVE?

Another question: Why are we, as a nation so obsessed with foreign things? We want foreign T. Vs, we want foreign shirts. We want foreign technology.

Why this obsession with everything imported. Do we not realize that self-respect comes with self-reliance? I was in
Hyderabad giving this lecture,when a 14 year old girl asked me for my autograph. I asked her what her goal in life is. She replied: I want to live in a developed India . For her, you and I will have to build this developed India . You must proclaim. India is not an under-developed nation; it is a highly developed nation.


Do you have 10 minutes? Allow me to come back with a vengeance.

Got 10 minutes for your country? If yes, then read; otherwise, choice is yours.
YOU say that our government is inefficient.
YOU say that our laws are too old.
YOU say that the municipality does not pick up the garbage.
YOU say that the phones don't work, the railways are a joke,
The airline is the worst in the world, mails never reach their destination.
YOU say that our country has been fed to the dogs and is the absolute pits.

YOU say, say and say. What do YOU do about it?


Take a person on his way to
Singapore . Give him a name - YOURS. Give him aface - YOURS. YOU walk out of the airport and you are at your International best. In Singapore you don't throw cigarette butts on the roads or eat in the stores. YOU are as proud of their Underground links as they are. You pay $5 (approx. Rs. 60) to drive through Orchard Road (equivalent of Mahim Causeway or Pedder Road ) between 5 PM and 8 PM. YOU come back to the parking lot to punch your parking ticket if you have over stayed in a restaurant or a shopping mall irrespective of your status identity... In Singapore you don't say anything, DO YOU?

YOU wouldn't dare to eat in public during Ramadan, in Dubai .

YOU would not dare to go out without your head covered in Jeddah .

YOU would not dare to buy an employee of the telephone exchange in London at 10 pounds ( Rs.650) a month to, 'see to it that my STD and ISD calls are billed to someone else.'

YOU would not dare to speed beyond 55 mph (88 km/h) in Washington and then tell the traffic cop,'Jaanta hai main kaun hoon (Do you know who I am?). I am so and so's son. Take your two bucks and get lost.'

YOU wouldn't chuck an empty coconut shell anywhere other than the garbage pail on the beaches in Australia and New Zealand

Why don't YOU spit Paan on the streets of Tokyo ? Why don't YOU use examination jockeys or buy fake certificates in Boston ??? We are still talking of the same YOU..

YOU who can respect and conform to a foreign system in other countries but cannot in your own. You who will throw papers and cigarettes on the road the moment you touch Indian ground. If you can be an involved and appreciative citizen in an alien country, why cannot you be the same here in India ?

Once in an interview, the famous Ex-municipal commissioner of
Bombay
, Mr. Tinaikar , had a point to make. 'Rich people's dogs are walked on the streets to leave their affluent droppings all over the place,' he said. 'And then the same people turn around to criticize and blame the authorities for inefficiency and dirty pavements. What do they expect the
officers to do? Go down with a broom every time their dog feels the pressure in his bowels? In
America every dog owner has to clean up after his pet has done the job. Same in Japan
. Will the Indian citizen do that here?' He's right. We go to the polls to choose a government and after that forfeit all responsibility.

We sit back wanting to be pampered and expect the government to do everything for us whilst our contribution is totally negative. We expect the government to clean up but we are not going to stop chucking garbage all over the place nor are we going to stop to pick up a stray piece of paper and throw it in the bin.

We expect the railways to provide clean bathrooms but we are not going to learn the proper use of bathrooms.

We want Indian Airlines and Air India to provide the best of food and toiletries but we are not going to stop pilfering at the least opportunity.

This applies even to the staff who is known not to pass on the service to the public. When it comes to burning social issues like those related to women, dowry, girl child! and others, we make loud drawing room protestations and continue to do the reverse at home. Our excuse?

'It's the whole system which has to change, how will it matter if I alone forego my sons' rights to a dowry.' So who's going to change the system? What does a system consist of ? Very conveniently for us it consists of our neighbours, other households, other cities, other communities and the government. But definitely not me and YOU.

When it comes to us actually making a positive contribution to the system we lock ourselves along with our families into a safe cocoon and look into the distance at countries far away and wait for a Mr.Clean to come along & work miracles for us with a majestic sweep of his hand or we leave the country and run away. Like lazy cowards hounded by our fears we run to America to bask in their glory and praise their system. When New York becomes insecure we run to England . When England experiences unemployment, we take the next flight out to the Gulf. When the Gulf is war struck, we demand to be rescued and brought home by the Indian government. Everybody is out to abuse and rape the country. Nobody thinks of feeding the system. Our conscience is mortgaged to money.

Dear Indians, The article is highly thought inductive, calls for a great deal of introspection and pricks one's conscience too.... I am echoing J. F. Kennedy 's words to his fellow Americans to relate to Indians.....

'ASK WHAT WE CAN DO FOR
INDIA
AND DO WHAT HAS TO BE DONE TO MAKE INDIA
WHAT AMERICA AND OTHER WESTERN COUNTRIES ARE TODAY'

Lets do what
India needs from us.

Forward this mail to each Indian for a change instead of sending Jokes or junk mails.

Thank you,

Dr. Abdul Kalaam

चांद छूपने से हुई फीकी सी फिर फिज़ा ,

दिल चटकने की सी हुई आवाज होली में ।

-४-

पुरस्कार की तू किसी गर ,आस कर रहा ,

झुग्गी में रह स्लमडाग सा, यार होली में ।

-५-

गांधी के स्मृति चिन्ह ,न स्वदेश ढूँढना ,

टेसू के रंग की कहाँ , अब धार होली में ।

-६-

'ओंम' रोम रोम में,रचे बचपन के वो रिश्ते

पूरा गाँव ही परिवार था ,हर ईद होली में ।

Mnemonics are words that help in memorizing something.
Mnemonics may take the form of acronyms, phrases, songs , rhymes places or any word/words or sentences which are used in conversation or have popular appeal for easy remembrance and with which we can easily establish some association with the topic we want to memorize.

Some of the physics mnemonics which class xii students may find useful are compiled here. Some of these are courtesy internet and many others have been devised by me while teaching physics . Students are welcome to offer comments suggesting their own mnemonics on similar or other topics .

1. CIVIL In Capacitor ( C) Current (I) leads Voltage (V)
In Inductor (L) Voltage (V) leads Current (I)
