लहरों से डर कर नौका पार नहीं होती Inspiring Poem by Harivansha Rai Bachchan

लहरों से डर कर नौका पार नहीं होती,
कोशिश करने वालों की हार नहीं होती।

नन्हीं चींटी जब दाना लेकर चलती है,
चढ़ती दीवारों पर, सौ बार फिसलती है।
मन का विश्वास रगों में साहस भरता है,
चढ़कर गिरना, गिरकर चढ़ना न अखरता है।
आख़िर उसकी मेहनत बेकार नहीं होती,
कोशिश करने वालों की हार नहीं होती।

डुबकियां सिंधु में गोताखोर लगाता है,
जा जा कर खाली हाथ लौटकर आता है।
मिलते नहीं सहज ही मोती गहरे पानी में,
बढ़ता दुगना उत्साह इसी हैरानी में।
मुट्ठी उसकी खाली हर बार नहीं होती,
कोशिश करने वालों की हार नहीं होती।

असफलता एक चुनौती है, स्वीकार करो,
क्या कमी रह गई, देखो और सुधार करो।
जब तक न सफल हो, नींद चैन को त्यागो तुम,
संघर्ष का मैदान छोड़ मत भागो तुम।
कुछ किये बिना ही जय जय कार नहीं होती,
कोशिश करने वालों की हार नहीं होती।

-हरिवंशराय बच्चन

Inclement Weather Vocab In News 3 Feb 2012

Ruling Akali Dal-BJP combine faces  anti-incumbency  in Punjab  As Punjab heads into assembly polls next Monday,the Congress could have an edge as the ruling Akali Dal-BJP coalition  grapples with  a serious anti-incumbency mood in the state.Several factors have contributed to the changed political scenario.To begin with,electoral equations that had brought the ruling coalition to power in 2007 have altered since. Of the many anxieties  plaguing  the ruling coalition, primary has been the damage potential of former finance minister and rebel   Manpreet Badals  fledgling  Peoples Party of Punjab. Adding to worries is the  precarious  state of the BJP, racked by corruption charges and  rabid   factionalism .The BJP had done exceptionally well among Hindu voters in the Malwa region during the last polls.That's a feat its unlikely to repeat this time. Hoping to cash in on the party's  waning  populari...

How much you will charge to laugh?

Sonal Kalra, HT City, DDun My deepest sympathies to the family and friends of those who are always `dead' serious I give you three seconds to recall the last time you laughed out loud. One...two...three, done. All those who remembered the last `LOL' they'd casually typed while chatting on Facebook can take turns to slap each other. And the others, who at least tried to recall their real laughter but could not, listen to me. Kya, problem kya hai? Do people, who have to bear you every day of their lives, not deserve to sometimes see the twinkle in your eyes or the teeth that you claim to religiously brush every morning? Kya aapke toothpaste mein namak hai? Then what is the matter, people? Yesterday I observed this man at a friend's get-together. He was there to attend a party, but his face bore an expression as if the host had put a gun to his head and dragged him there. Someone told a joke, everyone laughed, even those who had heard it before. But this one's e...

Insatiable growth appetite of India Inc

Sunil Mittal After four years of high GDP growth, even a diehard optimist would be sceptical as to whether the economy would will be able to turn in similar numbers again next year. Given the fact that the present buoyancy is based on reasonably sound economic fundamentals, I have reasons to believe that the momentum is here to stay. My optimism is, of course, based as much on the fundamentals of the economy as my inherent faith in the growth appetite of India Inc. As per the Mid-Year Review tabled in the Parliament in December, the economy has grown by 9.1% in the first half of 2007-08. But more than the robust growth figures, what actually strengthens my faith in the economy’s ability to sustain growth is the fact that inflation has eased below 4% after more than a year. This surely augurs well for the economy in the coming days. I believe, like last year, industry and services will continue to be the primary drivers of growth. In telecom, we are quite bullish about another robust ye...
