The Apple and the Tree - "The Power of the Youth"

Original Post By Mr.Raghu Ram

The apple has fallen far from the tree. The young man who carries the name of a great leader who always fought for minority equality, even in the face of the nations’ partition, has resorted to vilifying and spreading hate against the same minority. Mr. Varun Gandhi, who got his last name from Mahatma Gandhi, destroyed everything that the Mahatma lived and died for in his desperate and hate fueled attempt at political success. And while, he has been (lightly) reprimanded, what’s scarier than his stupid vow on the Geeta that he will “cut the hands of Muslims”, is the support he’s getting from certain political sections as well as the common man in an SMS campaign. These are the leaders and the voters of the country. And now the underworld has threatened to kill Varun Gandhi. This is being seen as a ‘Muslim retaliation’, and the stage is set for another major communal riot. And I bet Varun Gandhi and others like him will get their political mileage out of all this. Way to go, India!

I want to make one thing clear. If you are of the opinion that I’m in favor of any community or anti another community, you’re missing the point. I’m against the very concept of defining any community based on religion, state, race, caste, language, or even sex. But even this is besides the point. I’m writing this blog to collect like-minded youngsters who believe that things need to change and they will not change on their own. There’s a reason I said ‘youngsters’. It’s because I’m not interested in grown-ups. I blame our previous generation of getting us into this shit in the first place. They’ve had their chance, and they BLEW IT!!! Bigtime!

In our childhood, all of us are taught in school - ‘All religions are equal”. “There is only 1 god” and “Indian values are based on tolerance towards others”. When we come out into the world, our behavior and attitude is exactly the opposite. It reeks of the same prejudices and bigotry that our previous generation stinks of. Why’s that? It’s because the basis of our value systems are our homes. And even though our textbooks say different, our young minds are conditioned at home to reflect the same crap that our previous generation inherited from the generation above them. Let’s face it... We do NOT believe that all religions are equal. We are NOT tolerant towards other communities. We live in an atmosphere filled with hatred, fear and violence. Who is responsible for this? How is this going to change? This blog might not be the answer, but at least it asks some pertinent questions. It’s a beginning. Nothing will change if we do not question what exists. And in this blog, I’m questioning another ‘value’ that has been taught to us from childhood - “Respect your elders”.

I know this sounds a bit radical, but think about it. What have they done to earn our respect? Should we respect them for the 1984 riots against the Sikhs? Or the demolition of the Babri Mazjid, which lead to the serial blasts in Mumbai? Should we respect them for the Hindu Muslim riots in Mumbai? Or in Godhra? Should we follow their example of protecting our culture by beating women on camera and arresting young couples for ‘Obscenity’, when all they’re doing is sit together on the side of a road? If you step away from the filth of urban India and into the rural, or ‘real’ India, grown-ups burn, rape and kill youngsters for marrying a person from another caste, community or religion. Women are paraded naked as a punishment for breaking the ‘rules of society’. Dowry is still taken. Dowry deaths are common. Female infanticide is a reality. These and other even more heinous crimes are committed and witnessed silently by elders in the name of Indian Culture and family honor.

I’ll make one more clarification. I’m not preaching hatred against the elderly. Neither am I absolving the youth of their part in the way this country is turning out. This is what I’m saying - it’s time we started questioning whatever is fed to us by the older generation. It’s time to discard societal conditioning and start thinking for ourselves. It’s time to realize that the older generation has made the changes that they wanted. And to let them know that they screwed up. It is time to stop looking at them to change, and start making the change ourselves. We are the worlds’ youngest country and the biggest democracy. This means that the Indian youth is the most empowered community in the world. But without a questioning attitude and a proactive approach, all this means nothing.

Pick up any cause that you believe in. Be it women’s issues, govt. policies, taxes, education, crime, corruption... Whatever! Pick a side. Don’t straddle the fence. And then step out and make a difference. Protest. Debate. Discuss. Demonstrate. Be heard. Be counted.

One more thing. Send one message across loud and clear. We will reject anyone who creates an atmosphere of hate and provokes one section of our country against any other. Be it against Muslims, women, North Indians, or any other part of society. We’re all Indians. We reject your hate and prejudice. We want our next generation to grow in a safe environment, where the focus is on progress through excellence and not on the intimidation of the common man. And so, any Varun Gandhi who chooses the politics of hate and division will never ever come into power. Vote as one for the politician who talks about his plan for development. Vote as one for the politician who has fulfilled his promises. Hold the politicians who have not fulfilled their promises accountable.

It is time to question. Time to send a clear message to the older generation. It is time to make the change. It is time for the apple to fall far from the tree.

Its strange but its true | Family extends beyond genetics

In today's fragmented society, many people live alone or in very small households. This can be lonely and unsatisfying. Think out of the box & Reach out to relatives, friends, neighbors, coworkers, schoolmates, and other people around you. Can you tell how many people know you after your relatives, friends, neighbors, coworkers, schoolmates, and other people around you.

Answer is NO ONE. Its strange but its true.

It's easiest to become close to people whose lives already cross yours: neighbors, people who work at businesses you frequent, people who belong to the same church or club, etc. But friends, LIFE AS WE KNOW IT, Can take U turn any time and you never know where it goes.

Have you ever imagine the situation that suddenly you come across with the boy or gal, with whom you had spent 3-4 years in college & after leaving the college you never tried to call even a single time, because you thought, WHO CARES. I have my own life now I am with new friends. But have you ever think what about your old friends. To make friends is not a big deal. Main problem is, how you maintain the friendship.

Most of the true family you have has no blood relation. Family extends beyond genetics!

Why I am writing all this is because I found most of the college friends [taking example of mine own college] are even don't want to see each other faces. Few of mine college mates tie the knot, but not even invited anyone from college. Few of mates were very good friend at that time, but in current scenario, they even don't want to see each other faces. My question is WHY ???

I was very unhappy & ungratified...no need to explain why....& I think out of the box. Suddenly an idea came to my mind & I start blogging on internet. I share what I feel, & posted my real life experience. Posted all the details, where ever I go & one day a huge group was formed & known as Venturous Bikers. This is my first blog on the internet, on which you are reading this post, & if you like to know more about me & all the places I visited, you can catch me @ www.venturousbikers.com & www.amarjit.info

I also request to all of you.... pls start thinking out of the box. Don't spoil you life just like that. I don't know about others, but all of you are very very special to me. All of you have prestigious space in my life because you have spent few moments of your life with me….as a reader of my blog, where I share mine feeling with open heart. I am expecting a comment from your side also….pls keep in touch & visit again.

Am I DeaD - Nooo M NOT....!!!

it’s another morning..

….. Again I have to go to office

Ohh, this is me… I shouted having a glance on my snap in today’s news paper.

But what the HELL it is doing in the death column??

Strange…

One sec... Let me think, last night when I was going to bed I had a severe pain in my chest, but I don’t remember anything after that, I think I had a sound sleep.

Its morning now, ohh….. It’s already 10:00 AM, where is my coffee?

I will be late for office and my boss will get a chance to irritate me.

Where is everyone…??? I screamed.

“I think there is a crowed outside my room, let me check.” I said to myself.

So many people….. Not all of them crying…

But why some of them crying…

WHAT IS THIS??? I m laying there on the floor…

“I AM HERE” … I shouted!!! No one listen.

“LOOK I AM NOT DEAD” … I screamed once again!!! No one is interested in me.

They all were looking me on the bed.

I went back to my bed room.

“Am I dead??” I asked myself.

Where is my wife, my children, my mom-DAD, my friends?

I found them in the next room, all of them were crying… still trying to console each other.

My wife was crying… she was really looking sad.

My little kid was not sure what happened, but he was crying just coz his mom was sad.

How can I go without saying my kid that I really love him, I really do care of him. ??

How can I go without saying my wife that she is really most beautiful and most caring wife in this world..??

How can I go without saying my parents that I m … just because of u ??

How can I go without telling my friends that without them perhaps I have done most of the wrong things in my life… thanks for being there always when I need them… and sorry for not being there when they really need me..

I can see a person standing in the corner and trying to hide his tears…

Ohh… he was my best neighbour but a small misunderstanding made us part, and we both have strong enough ego to keep us disconnect.

I went there.. And offered him my hand, “Dear friend… I just want to say sorry for everything, we r still best friend, please forgive me.”

No response from other side, what the hell?? He is still preserving his ego, I am saying sorry… even then!!!

I really don’t care for such people.

But one sec…. it seems he is not able to see me!!!! He did not see my extended hand.

My goodness… AM I REALLY DEAD???

I just sat down near ME; I was also feeling like crying…

“OHH ALMIGHTY!!!! PLEASE JUST GIVE ME FEW MORE DAYS…”

I just wasn’t to make my wife, my parents; my friends realize that how much I love them.

My wife entered in the room, she looks beautiful.

“YOU R BEAUTIFUL” I shouted.

She didn’t hear my words, in fact she never heard these words coz I never said this to her.

“GOD!!!!” I screamed… a little more time plzzzzzzzzzzzzzz..

I cried…

One more chance please… to hug my child, to make my mom smile just once, to feel my dad proud on me at least for a moment, to say sorry to my friends for everything I have not given to them, and thanks for still being in my life….

Then I looked up and cried!!!!

I shouted….

“GOD!!!! ONE MORE CHANCE PLEASE!!!!”

"You shouted in your sleep," said my wife as she gently woke me up. "Did you have a nightmare?"

I was sleeping….

Ohh that was just a dream….

My wife was there… she can hear me…

This is the happiest moment of my life…

I hugged her and whispered…. “U R THE MOST BEAUTIFUL AND CARING WIFE IN THIS UNIVERSE…. I REALLY LOVE U DEAR”

I can’t understand the reason of the smile on her face with some tears in her eyes, still I m happy…. :)

“THANK YOU GOD FOR THIS SECOND? CHANCE.”

So, Now it’s not late.. Forget your egos, past……….., and express your love to others………. Be friendly…………… keep smiling and be happy for ever…

Delhi RedFort True Story: True History of Delhi Redfort

This tablet raised inside Delhi's Red Fort by modern archaeologists proclaims that Shahjahan (who ruled from 1628 to 1658 A.D.) built this fort from 1639 to 1648 A.D. As against this see the [next] photo of the painting of Shahjahan's time preserved in the Bodleian Library, Oxford. It depicts Shajahan receiving the Persian ambassador inside the fort in 1628, the very year of Shahjahan's accession. Obviously the fort existed much before Shahjahan.

The 5th generation Mogul emperor Shahjahan is credited with having built the Red Fort in Delhi. Shahjahan ascended the throne in 1628 A.D. This contemporary painting shows him receiving the Persian ambassador in 1628 itself, in the Diwan-i-Aam (Common Room) of the Red Fort itself. This painting preserved in the Bodleian Library, Oxford, was reproduced in the Illustrated Weekly of India (page 32) of March 14, 1971. Since Shahjahan was in the fort in the year of his accession, this documentary evidence disproves the notion that he built the fort. Compare with this the photo of the tablet in English raised inside the fort by the Govt. of India's archaeology department asserting that Shahjahan built the fort during 1639-48. This is emphatic proof of Indian history having been thoroughly falsified during Muslim rule in India.

The Red Fort in Delhi has in its Khas Mahal, alias the King's apartment, the royal emblem of its builder King Anangoal. It consists of a pair of swords laid hilt to hilt curving upwards, the sacred Hindu pot (kalash) above the hilts, a lotus bud and a pair of scales of justice balanced over it. Dotted around are representations of the sun from whom Indian ruling dynasties claimed descent. At the sword points are two small conches considered sacred in Hindu tradition. Bigger conches may be seen at the left and right corners at the base.

This royal Hindu insignia of the Hindu king who built Delhi's Red Fort, is still there in the Khas Mahal pavilion. But even this visual symbol has been blatantly misinterpreted. The two swords laid hilt to hilt, curving upward are being inadvertently styled by ignorant guides, archaeologists and historians as an Islamic crescent. The sacred Hindu Kalash (water pot) on the hilts is never noticed. The lotus bud on the kalash represents royal wealth. The pair of scales is symbolic of impartial justice.

This perforated marble screen inside the Khas Mahal (i.e. the King's own chamber) in Delhi's Red Fort, is a Hindu specialty. Such jalees are mentioned even in Ramayanic descriptions of palaces. Therefore some buildings claimed to be mosques in Ahmedabad which boast of such exquisite jalees (lattices) are Hindu edifices. The Hindu royal emblem mounted on the upper part of the jalee, disproves that the Mogul Shahjahan built the fort.
The resplendent Hindu midday sun (from whom Hindu rulers claim descent) in the arch above flanked by the sacred Hindu letter OM. Below it is the royal Hindu insignia. This proves the hollowness of the claim that Shahjahan commissioned the Red Fort.
These life size elephants flanking the Delhi Gate of Delhi's Red Fort are an unmistakable sign of the fort's Hindu origin. This is one of the proofs that the Red Fort was commissioned by Raja Anangoal (1060 A.D.) and not the Mogul emperor Shahjahan (1639-48) as is erroneously believed. [The fort predates Shahjahan by 600 years, similar to the Taj Mahal.]

A close-up of the interior top of the entrance arch of the so-called Moti Masjid (which was Hindu Moti Mandir) inside Delhi's Red Fort. The arch at the bottom may be seen to be made of banana bunches. On either side above the arch are trays holding five fruits each as holy Hindu offering. Fruit is taboo inside Muslim mosques.
