he saki

હે સાકી,
તારા મયખાનામાં મળતાં જામ કરતાં, તેની નજરનું જામ સારું છે!
ન ચૂમી સકૂં એને હોઠોથી તો શું થયું? તે સદાય દિલમાં છલકતું રહેશે!!

હે સાકી,
તારા જામથી કદાચ એમ બને કે હું દુનિયાના દુ:ખોને ભૂલી જાવ?
પણ તેના પ્રેમથી મિશ્રીત જામમાં અમરત્વને પામી જાવ !

હે સાકી,
તારા જામથી શું ખબર કઇ ઘડીમાં હું બહેકી જાઇશ?
તેના જામથી નવ-ચેતના ને પામી જાઇશ !

હે સાકી,
તારા જામ સાટુ મારે મયખાને આવવું પડશે રુપલડી ખરચી?
તેનું જામ તો હાજીર થશે ફકત્ દિલથી યાદ કરતાંને !

હે ખુદા,
ઉગાર જે અમ જીવન-રસ પામવાંને તલસતાં શરાબીઓને?
ને ખુદના દશૅન દઇ તારી નજરનાં જામ છલકાવતો જાજે !

the real indian idol: shree arvind

The Real Indian Idol
Shree Arvind
In today’s world of darkness we search for the light all around and it always a puzzle for a young generation to find a real idol. For inspiration, motivation and for guidance too. Here I want to show you one of my idols, a true Indian idol. From whom we inspired lot is shree Arvind. But going on to that directly first I like to describe what I mean for ‘idol’, what are the characteristics or a parameter with which we can find a real idol.
I fell that our (mostly younger ones) thinking is narrow & low. Also not have a long view. If you ask any Indian about who is your idol? Then you find 95% of answer will be an actor or a sports personality, very few in politics and even few people who have very high human characteristics. The most of the idol chosen by our generation is doing there work only for money and they are at best in the job. And there is nothing wrong in it’s to. Actually we feel to guide or to select a real idol, as we don’t know what it should be and the parameter for it! Here in short am I giving small description on idol as per my knowledge. An idol life style is like that people can fellow; he/she has taken brave decision in life, fought to present the view. A person who know the inner beauty and used it in a right direction. From whom one which is in darkness can travel towards the light and get it under his guidance or inspiration. They shouldn’t be a selfish and not give any tactics to earn money smartly & fast. Also there will be many more things you can add on this list but it’s sufficient to go to our man task
From history you can find many people with all the good characteristics. Now I want to show u a great man from India. He born in Calculta in 1872’s 15th august, family named him as Arvind. Yes, u are Wright am I talking about Shree Arvind Ghosh. As we know his father is strict and want to teach his child to take all education in European manner. So he send him in boarding first in Darjeeling and after in London. So Arvind spent his most childhood and young age away from home. Sometime loneliness catch him, he cried so many times due to this. His mother mental situation is not well and his father is very rude. Somewhere in his mind there deep feeling to get love. At same time he get married with Mrunalinidevi. She is a typical Indian woman with all the desire an Indian woman has. His father desire is depend on him only, all family member has dream that Arvind has to become an i.c.s. he was very brilliant student and know so many languages too(like Latin, Greek, hibru, etc.). But he disqualify from the test by not appearing for riding exam. Somewhere in his mind he is suffering from a pain going on to his motherland, his soil. He decided to move on and serve the mother land. His family tried everything to change his view and direction, all relative advised him you can serve better to poor people by becoming I.C.S. you can help them by using your post. Why you are wasting Ur talent and brilliantness. All this advice and tears try to catch him but he still came out of this all. Arvind don’t accept that. He said it’s possible that I can serve refuge very well by doing so, but I can’t do fight for my motherland. If Ur genius doesn’t mean that you have to be a selfish. What is the use of talent which suck sensibility? A genuineness is to turn the mind towards the divine; we don’t have to miss it again in darkness. For individual love for life we can’t leave our main aim of the life. Instead we can leave anything to achieve highest goal of life. For any things, people or for situation we can’t leave our highest aim of the life. Then he taken a very bold and brave decision and came out the tussle of emotions and thoughts. After that in his life he ha s taken many more brave step and rest is the story for us. He walk through out hi life with strong determination on path chosen by him once.

It’s very inspiring and heart touching story indeed. For me a person’s life style which can guide any one to came out with all tussles in mind and to follow a path which is full with burden but of the truth. To rich for a supreme aim of the life. I know two people from the history whose idol is Shree Arvind. One is a great fighter for freedom of India Shree Subhash Chandra Bose.
He also passed i.c.s. exam and his family also want to see him as collector and leave him prosperous life. But he stick to his brave decision to serve motherland.
His family and relative tried everything to turn him back to his decision. Used so many tactics and given so many example but Subhash didn’t change his path. He said to his family that,” life of sacrifice, a simple living and high thinking, to leave all the things for serving the mother land is just not my imagination or desire which is attracting me. Also to serve as servant for foreigners services is very pity thought for me. For me a path chosen by Arvind Ghosh is more great, highly inspiring, more high , highly not selfish and also with high burden too.”
U seen in above context how Subhash Chandra is inspired from him.
Another person is Kanayalal Munshi, founder of Bhartiya Vidhya Bhavans. Munshiji is student of Shree Arvind at Sayajirav Gaiakwad college in Vadodara,
And the entire student excitedly wait for Arvind sir lecture and he become a role model for them. To chat with him, learn with him is become pleasures to them.

So in my word he is the great real Indian idol! Who teach how to leave a life, how to come out of conflicts, what should e our supreme aim and many more. I hope you like this article and also inspired by him in sometime of your life.

Importance of Diary
When I think about diary, I find, it has become an invaluable asset to me. For one devoted to truth, it serves as a sentry, because its entries have to be true. If indolence done, work shirked, it has to be mentioned. Thus the diary becomes a sentry in all respects. It is, therefore, necessary that we all realize its importance. Once we regularly start writing, we ourselves will know what to write and how. Of course, there is one condition. We will have to be honest; otherwise the diary becomes a counterfeit coin. But if it contains truth, it becomes more valuable than a sovereign.

After deciding to write the diary, there should be no lapse. It will surely prove advantageous, if not now, but later on. The practice to maintain the diary will save us from many evils, as it will be a witness to our faults. Our wrong-doing must be mentioned in it. No comments on them are necessary. The criticism will follow itself. Today we lost temper on ‘A’, today we deceived ‘B’, this much mentions is enough. “O mind! This is very bad, it should not be done in future”, etc. should not necessarily be written. No self-praise be recorded. It is enough to write about the work done and evils committed. Faults of others should not be stated. Control in the form of diary helps in self-purification.
