Schumacher makes sensational return to F1.


Seven-time world champion Michael Schumacher is making a sensational return to Formula One, Ferrari announced on Wednesday.


The German motor racing legend, who retired in 2006, will replace injured Felipe Massa in the European Grand Prix in Valencia on August 23, and possibly for the remainder of the season.
"The Ferrari-Marlboro team plans to give Michael Schumacher Felipe Massa's car until the Brazilian returns to competition," Ferrari announced in a statement on its website.
The statement added: "Michael Schumacher says he is available and in the coming days he will pursue a specific programme of preparation at the end of which it will be possible to confirm his participation in the European Grand Prix."
Schumacher, 40, commented: "Ultimately I like challenges and this is a great challenge."
"The important thing is that Massa gets better," he continued, adding that he "just wanted to help the firm (Ferrari) when they needed it".
Schumacher's return was arranged at a meeting between him and Ferrari president Luca di Montezamolo at Ferrari's headquarters at Maranello on Wednesday morning.
News of Schumacher's comeback to the sport he virtually made his own came 24 hours after the possibility had first been raised by his spokeswoman, Sabine Kehm.
"The whole thing will be considered by Ferrari. If they approach Michael, then he will consider it," Kehm had said.
She added: "Usually, I would say he's not interested because he's fine with his life and he doesn't miss anything but now the situation is so different - it's very hypothetical - and Michael doesn't want to step into that (discussion)."
Schumacher, who is on Ferrari's pay roll as an advisor, will be filling in for Massa, who is recovering from surgery following his horrific high speed crash in qualifying for last weekend's Hungarian Grand Prix.
Only this month the 40-year-old had made it clear speaking at the German Grand Prix that he was not interested in making a full time comeback.
But the offer of a temporary return to the Ferrari cockpit obviously proved too much to resist for 'Schumi' who has recovered from a neck injury sustained in a motorcycle accident in February.

बोलायला उशीर होत आहे का?

ती माझ्याकडे बघते
मी तिच्याकडे बघतो
पण बोलने होताच नाही
बोलायला उशीर होत आहे का?

काल सुद्धा तिने खुपदा पाहिले
माझेच लक्ष नव्हते
म्हणून मला नही समझले
बघायला ही आता उशीर होत आहे का?

माजी नज़र गर्दीतून तिलाच शोधत असते
तिची नजर सुधा मलाच शोधत असते
हसायला ही आता उशीर होत आहे का?

ती का बोलायला येत नही
याचा विचार मी करत असतो
अणि ती समोर आली की सगाल्याचा विसर पडतो
माझ्या विचार्न्याला उशीर होत आहे का?

दिवसा मागुन दिवस जात आहेत
आमचे नुसते असेच चालू आहे
कोणीतरी पुढे येइल का
बोलायला उशीर होत आहे का?

आता सुद्धा उशीर होत आहे
इतके दिवस तिला पाहतो
तिच्या सौंदर्याला शब्दात उतरवायला
उशीर होतोय का?



This is an advise for all of my friends those can not express their feelings, or afraid to do so.

Well girls also can take initiative.

‘भारत निर्माण’

Good Artical from Loksatta. written by Nitin Potdar

One of my friends send me this through mail. Thoughts are really great
i was unable to find the link so copy paste it here.



भारत निर्माण’ हे यंदाच्या अर्थसंकल्पाचे मुख्य आकर्षण. त्यावरच भर देऊन, अर्थसंकल्पाच्या आकडेमोडीत न जाता काही मूलभूत प्रश्नांवर व्यापक चर्चा व्हावी व सकारात्मक काही तरी घडावं अशा अपेक्षेने केला गेलेला लेख प्रपंच..केंद्रीय अर्थमंत्री प्रणब मुखर्जी यांनी २००९-२०१० सालासाठीचा अर्थसंकल्प संसदेला सादर करून आज एक आठवडा उलटलेला आहे. दरवर्षीप्रमाणे गेली साठ वर्षे अशा चर्चेत, सरकारी पक्ष अर्थसंकल्पाची स्तुती करतो, विरोधी पक्ष त्याच्या विरोधात बोलतो, मोठे उद्योगपती अर्थमंत्र्यांच्या गुड बुकमध्ये राहण्यासाठी त्याला गुड म्हणतात. सामान्य माणसं वृत्तपत्रांत काय काय वस्तू स्वस्थ होणार याची यादी तपासून बघतात. यापलिकडे काहीही घडत नाही. काल झालेल्या लोकसभा निवडणुकीत आपण तरुण खासदारांना निवडून दिलं, पण त्यातला एकाही खासदार अर्थसंकल्पावरील चर्चेत भाग घेताना दिसला नाही, ही फारच निराशाजनक गोष्ट आहे. अशा या गदारोळात मराठी माणसांसाठी चांगलं काय घडलं असेल तर मी म्हणेन की सर्व इंग्रजी खासगी वृत्तवाहिन्यांपेक्षा मराठी वृत्तवाहिन्यांवरची (आणि मराठी वृत्तपत्रांतीलही) अर्थसंकल्पाविषयीची चर्चा आणि विश्लेषणं फारच उच्च दर्जाची होती. खास करून बजेट जितके मोठय़ा उद्योगपतींसाठी असते तितकेच ते सामान्य माणसांसाठीसुद्धा असते अशा जाणीवेने त्यांनी चर्चा केली म्हणून आपण त्यांचं कौतुक करायला पाहिजे. पुढील वर्षी अर्थसंकल्पाच्या निदान एक आठवडाआधी अशी चर्चा सुरू व्हावी अशी अपेक्षा आहे.‘भारत निर्माण’ हे यंदाच्या अर्थसंकल्पाचे मुख्य आकर्षण, म्हणून अर्थसंकल्पाच्या आकडेमोडीत न जाता काही मूलभूत
प्रश्नांवर व्यापक चर्चा व्हावी व सकारात्मक काही तरी घडावं अशी अपेक्षा आहे, म्हणून हा लेख प्रपंच. ग्रामीण आणि शहरी भागातील वाढती दरी कमी करण्यासाठी ‘भारत निर्माण’ ही संकल्पना पंतप्रधान मनमोहन सिंग यांनी २००५ साली मांडली. या संकल्पनेत ‘बेरोजगारी’ हे आज देशापुढील सर्वात मोठे आव्हान आहे, म्हणून यंदाच्या अर्थसंकल्पात राष्ट्रीय ग्रामीण रोजगार हमी योजनेवर ३९ हजार १०० कोटी रुपये खर्च होणार आहेत. पंतप्रधान सडक योजनेसाठी १२ हजार कोटी, तर खेडय़ापाडय़ात लाखो बेघर लोकांना डोक्यावर छप्पर देण्यासाठी इंदिरा गांधी आवास योजनेसाठी सात हजार कोटी व राजीव गांधी ग्रामीण विद्युतीकरण योजनेसाठी सात हजार कोटींची तरतुद करण्यात आली आहे. त्याचबरोबर जवाहर नागरी पुननिर्माण मिशन (जीन्युआरेम)साठी १२ हजार कोटी रुपयांची तरतूद करण्यात आली आहे. याविषयी पुढे जाण्यापूर्वी २००१ ते २००८ पर्यंत देशात राबवलेल्या फक्त दोनच योजनांचं काय झालं ते पाहणं गरजेचं आहे.१. सर्वशिक्षा अभियानावर २००१-२००८ पर्यंत ६० हजार कोटी खर्च झाले, तरी पण ५०% पेक्षा जास्त मुलं इयत्ता आठवीनंतर शाळेत जात नाहीत.२. राष्ट्रीय ग्रामीण रोजगार हमी योजनेवर २००६-२००९ पर्यंत ४४ हजार चारशे ऐंशी कोटी खर्च झाले. प्रत्येक नागरिकाला किमान १०० दिवस रोजगार देण्याचं उद्दिष्ट असताना फक्त ४८ दिवसांचा रोजगार तो पण फक्त ५०% लोकांनाच विविध राज्य सरकारे देऊ शकली.पुढील काही वर्षात कोटय़वधी रुपये देशाच्या सामान्य जनतेच्या नावाखाली सरकारी विविध योजनांवर खर्च होणार आहेत. प्रश्न किती कोटींची तरतूद केली याचा नाही, तर प्रश्न असा आहे की, इतकी मोठी रक्कम देशाच्या शेवटच्या माणसापर्यंत खरोखरच पोहोचणार आहे का? ज्या राजीव गांधींच्या नावाने हजारो कोटी रुपये खर्च होणार आहेत, त्यांनीच एकदा असं म्हटलं होतं की रुपयातील फक्त १५ पैसेच सामान्य माणसाच्या हातात पडतात व ८५ पैसे मधले दलाल गायब करतात. कालच्या लोकसभा निवडणुकीत देशाने पुन्हा काँग्रेसला पुढील पाच वर्षे राज्य करायला मोकळीक दिली आहे, याचं भान ठेवून ते काम करतील ही माफक अपेक्षा आहे. प्रणब मुखर्जी हे अनुभवी राजकारणी आहेत. खरं तर तेच देशाचे पंतप्रधान झाले असते! म्हणून २५ वर्षानंतर पुन्हा अर्थसंकल्प सादर करताना ‘भारत निर्माण’ व करोडोंची बरसात करण्यापूर्वी गेल्या ६० वर्षात आपण अशा योजनांच्या अंमलबजावणीत नेमकं कुठे चुकलो याचं कठोर परीक्षण होणं गरजेचं होतं. निदान अपयशाच्या मागची कारणं शोधण्याचा प्रश्नमाणिक प्रयत्न त्यांनी करायला हवा होता. आणि पुढच्या वाटचालीसाठी प्रश्नथमिकता ठरवून देशाला योग्य मार्गदर्शन करायला हवं होतं. काल त्यांनी पुरती निराशा केली असं म्हणणं चुकीच ठरणार नाही. खर्च होणाऱ्या कोटय़वधी रुपयांतला प्रत्येक रुपया हा महत्त्वाचा आहे, असं जोपर्यंत आपल्या अर्थमंत्र्यांनाच वाटणार नाही तोपर्यंत हजारो कोटींच्या अशा अर्थसंकल्पीय तरतुदीचं कौतुक करण्यात काय अर्थ आहे?‘अलिप्त दृष्टिकोनातून’ हे माजी अर्थमंत्री पी. चिदंबरम यांनी लिहिलेले पुस्तक नुकतेच प्रसिद्ध झाले आहे. त्यात ते म्हणतात, ५६ वर्षे झाली तरी लोकांच्या मागण्या, मूलभूत सुविधा-पाणी, वीज, रस्ते यांवरच केंद्रित होतात ही गोष्ट अतिशय दु:खदायक आहे. त्यांच्या मते सरकारी निर्णयप्रक्रियेत अक्षम्य दिरंगाई होते- मग ती धोरणांच्या बाबतीत असो की कार्यक्रमांच्या किंवा प्रकल्पांच्या. त्याचबरोबर अर्थसंकल्पात योग्य तरतूद नसणे, माणसांच्या बदल्या होणे, आराखडय़ांची पुनर्रचना करणे आणि विवाद्य मुद्दे (अर्थात कोर्ट-कचेऱ्या) उपस्थित करणे ही दिरंगाईची मुख्य कारणं आहेत. भारतात अपूर्ण रहिलेल्या प्रकल्पांमध्ये जवळजवळ एक लाख कोटी रुपये गुंतवले गेले आहेत, त्यात जलसिंचन, रेल्वे, वीज आणि इमारती आहेत असं त्यांच्या वाचनात आलं आहे असं ते म्हणतात. त्यांच्या मते कोणतेही मंत्रालय अभ्यासपूर्वक काम करत नाही. प्रत्येक पातळीवर निर्णयप्रक्रियेमध्ये बाह्य गोष्टींचे दडपण येत असते. एक माणूस प्रकल्प संकल्पना आणि आराखडा तयार करतो, दुसराच त्याला मंजुरी देतो, मग तिसरा, चौथा, पाचवा.. असे अनेक लोक त्या प्रकल्पाची अंमलबजावणी होईपर्यंत बदलून जातात आणि शेवटी येणारा माणूस प्रकल्पांच्या पूर्णत्वाचे श्रेय तरी घेतो किंवा त्याच्या अपयशाचा धनी होतो. त्यांच्या मते जिल्हा पातळीवरील संपूर्ण व्यवस्थापन यंत्रणा नोकरशहांच्या हातात असते. त्याला पर्यायी व्यवस्था निर्माण करण्यासाठी विचार करायचीवेळ आली आहे. गेली पाच र्वष चिदंबरम हेच अर्थमंत्री होते पण त्यांनी वरील गोष्टींचा किती पाठपुरावा केला हा संशोधनाचा विषय होऊ शकतो!याच पाश्र्वभूमीवर गेल्याच महिन्यात मोठा गाजावाजा करीत आपल्या पंतप्रधानांनी देशाच्या कॉर्पोरेट जगातील ‘बिग बॉस’ इन्फोसिस टेक्नॉलॉजीचे सहअध्यक्ष नंदन निलकेणी यांची देशाच्या प्रत्येक नागरिकास एक अनोखे ओळखपत्र देण्यासाठी स्थापन केलेल्या ‘युनिक आयडेंटिफिकेशन अथॉरिटी ऑफ इंडिया’च्या प्रमुखपदी नियुक्ती केली व त्यांना कॅबिनेट मंत्रिपदाचा दर्जादेखील बहाल केला. कालच्या अर्थसंकल्पात अशा ओळखपत्रासाठी १२० कोटींची तरतूद केलेली आहे. म्हणजे जिथे साधं ओळखपत्र देण्यासाठीसुद्धा जर देशाला खासगी क्षेत्रातली व्यक्ती लागत असेल तर कोटय़वधी रुपयांच्या मोठमोठय़ा प्रकल्पांचं आव्हान आपली सरकारी यंत्रणा कसे पेलणार? अशा स्वरूपाच्या सरकारी योजनेबरोबर आर्थिक संकटांशी मुकाबला करणाऱ्या ‘एअर इंडिया’ला सावरण्यासाठी टाटा ग्रुपचे अध्यक्ष रतन टाटा यांची नियुक्ती एअर इंडियाचे अध्यक्ष म्हणून होणार आहे अशी बातमी आहे. १९८७ साली स्व. राजीव गांधींनी सॅम पित्रोडा यांना टेक्नॉलॉजी मिशनवर नियुक्त केलं होतं हेही विसरून चालणार नाही. एकीकडे चिदंबरम हे संपूर्ण सरकारी कारभाराची आमूलाग्र पुनर्रचना करायला हवी असं म्हणतात, दुसरीकडे साधं ओळखपत्र बनवण्याची जबाबदारी पंतप्रधान खासगी क्षेत्रातल्या व्यक्तीला देतात याचा अर्थ देशाच्या पंतप्रधानांचा भारतीय प्रशासन व्यवस्था आणि शासकीय यंत्रणेवरचा विश्वास उडालेला तर नाही ना अशी शंका आणि प्रश्न सामान्य जनतेला पडल्याशिवाय राहणार नाही. कालच्या अर्थसंकल्पावरील चर्चेत भाग घेताना इन्फोसिसचे प्रमुख नारायण मूर्तीनी सरकारला असं सुचवलं आहे की, देशातल्या चांगल्या लोकांची एक उच्चस्तरीय समिती स्थापन करून त्यांना देशात राबविल्या जाणाऱ्या प्रत्येक मोठय़ा प्रकल्पाच्या अंमलबजावणीवर देखरेख करायला सांगितलं पाहिजे, नाही तर स्व. राजीव गांधींनी म्हटल्याप्रमाणे अशा प्रकल्पाचे पैसे मोठय़ा प्रमाणात मधल्या दलालांच्या हातातच पडतील! म्हणजे आज कोणाचाही देशाच्या प्रशासनावर विश्वास म्हणून उरलेला नाही हेच त्यांनाही सुचवायचं आहे का? एकाच वेळी आपण दोन मुख्य गोष्टींविरुद्ध लढतो आहोत, प्रशासकीय अकार्यक्षमता आणि भ्रष्टाचार. खरं तर भ्रष्टाचारापेक्षा अकार्यक्षमतेमुळे देशाचं जास्त नुकसान झालेलं आहे. कुठल्याही क्षेत्रात चुकीची माणसं महत्त्वाच्या जागी येणं हे मोठं दुर्भाग्य! आणि स्वकर्तृत्वापेक्षा नाक्यावरच्या कापडी पोस्टरच्या उंचीवर राजकीय नेत्यांच्या कर्तृत्वाची उंची ठरणं हे त्यापेक्षाही मोठं दुर्भाग्य!शासकीय व्यवस्थेत असलेला भ्रष्टाचाराचा कॅन्सर याविषयी लिहिण्याची ही जागा नाही, पण केवळ एकच उदाहरण पुरेसे होईल. सत्येंद्र दुबे हे इंजिनीयर, प्रकल्प संचालक- प्रश्नेजेक्ट डायरेक्टर म्हणून सुवर्ण चतुष्कोन योजनेवर काम करीत होते. त्या वेळेस हा खूप गाजावाजा झालेला, खुद्द पंतप्रधान वाजपेयींचा लाडका प्रश्नेजेक्ट होता. या योजनेतील भ्रष्टाचार उघड करणारे पत्र सत्येंद्र दुबेंनी थेट पंतप्रधानांना लिहिले. पण बिहारमधील यंत्रणेवर माफियांचा इतका कब्जा होता व ते इतके उन्मत्त होते की, त्यांनी सत्येंद्र दुबे यांचा निर्घृण खून केला. तेव्हा पन्नास, पन्नास हजार कोटींच्या योजनांमध्ये किती भ्रष्टाचार होईल, तो होऊ नये म्हणून काय काय करावे लागेल हे मुद्दे फार महत्त्वाचे आहेत व त्यासंबंधी जनजागृती होणं गरजेचं आहे.१९९१ नंतर आपल्या देशाने खूप प्रगती केलेली आहे व या प्रगतीच्या फळांवर देशाच्या प्रत्येक नागरिकाचा हक्क आहे. देशाची आर्थिक प्रगती झाली पण मोठय़ा प्रमाणात सामान्य माणसं ही दारिद्रय़रेषेच्या खालीच राहिली. समाजाच्या प्रत्येक घटकाला बरोबर घेऊन आपण प्रगती करू शकलो नाही हे कटू सत्य आहे. मागे वळून बघताना वाईट इतकंच वाटतं की, ६० र्वष इतका मोठा काळ निघून गेला पण आपण सामान्य जनतेला साधं पिण्याचं स्वच्छ पाणीसुद्धा अजून उपलब्ध करून देऊ शकलेलो नाही. विकास कामांवर होणाऱ्या कोटय़वधी रुपयांचा खर्च योग्य रीतीने झाला पाहिजे, असं जर सरकारबरोबर लोकांनाही वाटत असेल आणि खऱ्या अर्थाने भारत निर्माण करायचा असेल तर, अशा योजनांच्या अंमलबजावणीत ‘पारदर्शकता’ आणायला आऊट ऑफ द बॉक्स विचार करावाच लागेल. त्याची सुरुवात करताना देशपातळीवरील कुठल्याही कामात सरकार आणि प्रशासनालाच पारदर्शकतेशिवाय पर्याय नाही हे ब्रीद अंगीकृत करावं लागेल. आणि मुख्य म्हणजे मंत्री आणि प्रशासनाला घेतलेल्या कुठल्याही निर्णयाची जबाबदारी स्वीकारायची मानसिकता तयार करायला पाहिजे.आज आपल्याकडे कॉर्पोरेट क्षेत्रात नंदन निलकेणींसारखे आणखी पुष्कळ लोक आहेत व त्यांना देशसाठी काहीतरी करण्याची ऊर्मी आहे अशांना योग्य प्रकारे विविध योजनांमध्ये सहभागी करून घेता येईल. त्यांच्याकडे असलेल्या माहिती आणि तंत्रज्ञानाचा योग्य उपयोग करून मोठय़ा योजनांच्या संकल्पनेपासूनच पारदर्शकता आणता येईल. कॉर्पोरेट क्षेत्राबरोबर आज देशात प्रत्येक जिल्हा पातळीवर मोठय़ा प्रमाणात विविध स्वयंसेवी संस्था कार्यरत आहेत, त्यांनासुद्धा अशा प्रकल्पामध्ये सहभागी करून घेता येईल. निदान त्यांनी स्वत: पुढाकार घेऊन माहितीच्या अधिकाराअंतर्गत सरकारी योजनांच्या अंमलबजावणीची स्थानिक सरकारी अधिकाऱ्यांकडून पूर्ण माहिती मिळवून ती लोकांपुढे वेळोवेळी मांडायला पाहिजे. जिथे अशा संस्था नाहीत तिथे स्थानिक लोकांनी पुढाकार घेऊन अशा छोटय़ा छोटय़ा संस्था स्थापन करून सरकारी योजनांची माहिती व त्याची होणारी (अथवा न होणारी) अंमलबजावणी जरी लोकांपुढे आणली तरी अकार्यक्षमता आणि भ्रष्टाचार कमी होण्यास मदत मिळेल. आपण राहतो त्या गृहनिर्माण सोसायटय़ांतर्फे बरीच छोटी छोटी कामे करता येण्यासारखी आहेत. त्याचबरोबर तरुणांना विद्यापीठाच्या अभ्यासक्रमातून देशाच्या विविध योजनांवर प्रश्नाबरोबर स्पेशल प्रश्नेजेक्ट म्हणून किमान एक वर्ष जवळून काम करायला प्रश्नेत्साहन दिलं पाहिजे. त्यामुळे तरुणांना देशासाठी काम केल्याचंदेखील समाधान लाभेल व आपण चांगले नागरिक निर्माण करू शकू. त्यांच्या सहभागामुळे प्रशासनाला नव्या दमाचे कार्यकर्ते मिळतील. अमेरिकेसारख्या प्रगत देशातसुद्धा देशाच्या गरजेनुसार तरुणांना लष्करी सेवा सक्तीची केली जाते. मग आपल्या देशात तरुणांना मुलकी कामच एक वर्ष सक्तीचे करायला काय हरकत आहे? जर त्यांनी समर्पित भावनेने एक वर्ष काम केलं तर त्यातून जी वातावरणनिर्मिती होईल तीच खूप अनमोल असेल व आज जो बांधीलकीचा अभाव दिसतो, मी आणि माझे यापलीकडे कुणी विचार करीत नाही, त्यात थोडा तरी फरक पडेल. स्वातंत्र्यानंतर तरुणांना राष्ट्रउभारणीच्या कार्यात सहभागी करून घेणारं राजकीय नेतृत्व निर्माण झालं नाही. लोकांच्या पैशावर स्वत:चे वाढदिवस साजरे करणं म्हणजेच राष्ट्रकार्य असं सांगणारे राजकारणी मात्र गल्लोगल्ली निर्माण झाले. हीच तर देशाची खरी शोकांतिका आहे!मोठय़ा योजनांच्या अंमलबजावणीवर लक्ष ठेवायचा आणखी एक चांगला मार्ग म्हणजे, आज देशात दोनशेच्या वर खासगी वृत्तवाहिन्या आहेत, वृत्तपत्रे आहेत, त्यांनी प्रत्येकी एक अशा प्रकारे सरकारी योजनेचा मर्यादित स्वरूपात जरी पाठपुरावा केला तरी पुष्कळ कामं होतील. मीडियाची ताकद मोठी आहे. त्याचा योग्य वापर केला तर खूप काही करता येण्यासारखं आहे. देशाच्या प्रत्येक कामासाठी राजकीय नेत्यांच्या तोंडाकडे आशाळभुताप्रमाणे बघणं समाजाने सोडलं पाहिजे. सरकारी योजना राबवण्याची जबाबदारी जशी सरकार आणि प्रशासनाची आहे, तशी ती नीटपणे पूर्ण होते की नाही हे बघणं प्रत्येक नागरिकाचं कर्तव्य आहे व जर अशा योजना योग्य रीतीने राबल्या जात नसतील तर त्यासंबंधीची माहिती मिळवून लोकांपुढे मांडणं आपलं कर्तव्य आहे.लोकशाही म्हणजे लोकांनी, लोकांकरिता चालवलेले, लोकांचे सरकार म्हटले जाते. पण पाच वर्षातून एकदा मत देण्यापलीकडे लोकांचा काहीही सहभाग नसतो आणि हे मतदान करणारेही फक्त पन्नास टक्केच असतात! भारत देश हा माझा देश आहे व खर्च होणारा प्रत्येक रुपया हा माझ्या खिशातून जाणार आहे ही कडवट भावना आपल्यात असायला पाहिजे. जर खरोखर लोकांचा अशा योजनांच्या अंमलबजावणीत सक्रिय सहभाग राहिला तर आणि तरच भारत निर्माण घडू शकेल. रथचक्र उद्धारण्याची जबाबदारी आपल्या सगळ्यांचीच आहे?

शंभू राजा

देश धरम पर मिटने वाला।
शेर शिवा का छावा था।।
महापराक्रमी परम प्रतापी।
एक ही शंभू राजा था।।
तेज:पुंज तेजस्वी आँखें।
निकल गयीं पर झुका नहीं।।
दृष्टि गयी पण राष्ट्रोन्नति का।
दिव्य स्वप्न तो मिटा नहीं।।
दोनो पैर कटे शंभू के।
ध्येय मार्ग से हटा नहीं।।
हाथ कटे तो क्या हुआ?।
सत्कर्म कभी छुटा नहीं।।
जिव्हा कटी, खून बहाया।
धरम का सौदा किया नहीं।।
शिवाजी का बेटा था वह।
गलत राह पर चला नहीं।।
वर्ष तीन सौ बीत गये अब।
शंभू के बलिदान को।।
कौन जीता, कौन हारा।
पूछ लो संसार को।।
कोटि कोटि कंठो में तेरा।
आज जयजयकार है।।
अमर शंभू तू अमर हो गया।
तेरी जयजयकार है।।
मातृभूमि के चरण कमलपर।
जीवन पुष्प चढाया था।।
है दुजा दुनिया में कोई।
जैसा शंभू राजा था?।।

Yes i am FAN of Sachin Tendulkar......and i am proud of it........

Check the quotes people.....it shows Sachin is Great...........

I cant tell you what i feel when i read these quotes cause after that i just lost my mind for some time. my brain its just thinking about many innings Sachin played.

EAST or WEST Sachin Tendulkar is BEST.......

@Hashim Amla
"Nothing bad can happen to us if we're on a plane in India with Sachin
Tendulkar on it."
Hashim Amla, the South African batsman, reassures himself as he boards a
flight

@yaseer hameed
"Sometimes you get so engrossed in watching batsmen like Rahul Dravid and
Sachin Tendulkar that you lose focus on your job."

"To Sachin, the man we all want to be"
- What Andrew Symonds wrote on an aussie t-shirt he autographed specially
for Sachin

Beneath the helmet, under that unruly curly hair, inside the cranium, there
is something we don't know, something beyond scientific measure. Something
that allows him to soar, to roam a territory of sport that, forget us, even
those who are gifted enough to play alongside him cannot even fathom. When
he goes out to bat, people switch on their TV sets and switch off their
lives "
BBC on Sachin

But the finest compliment must be that bookmakers would not fix the odds -
or a game - until Tendulkar was out.

"Tuzhe pata hai tune kiska catch chhoda hai?"
"Tuzhe pata hai tune kiska catch chhoda hai?" Wasim Akram to Abdul Razzaq
when the latter dropped Sachin's catch.

Sachin is a genius. I'm a mere mortal.

@M. L. Jaisimha:
"The more I see of him the more confused I'm getting to which is his best
knock."

@McGrath
"The joy he brings to the millions of his countrymen, the grace with which
he handles all the adulation and the expectations and his innate humility -
all make for a one-in-a-billion individual,"

@Wife Anjali
"I can be hundred per cent sure that Sachin will not play for a minute
longer when he is not enjoying himself. He is still so eager to go out
there
and play. He will play as long as he feels he can play,"

@by HAYDEN - i feel is the best SACHIN QUOTE
he said
"I HAVE SEEN GOD, HE BATS AT NO.4 FOR INDIA"

"Even my father's name is Sachin Tendulkar."
Tendulkar's daughter, Sara, tells her class her father's name after the
teacher informs them of a restaurant of the same name in Mumbai

KUMBLE : I am fortunate that I've to bowl at him only in the nets!
My Personal Best

@ shahrukh
quoting Shahrukh from an interview
Que: Who do you think as most important celebrity ?
Shahrukh: There was a big party where stars from bollywood and cricket were
invited. Suddenly, there was a big noise, all wanted to see approaching
Amitabh Bachhan.
Then Sachin entered the hall and Amitabh was leading the queue to get a
grab
of the GENIUS!!

@Navjot Singh Sidhu
India me aap PrimeMinister ko ek Baar Katghare me khada kar sakte hain..Par
Sachin Tendulkar par Ungli nahi utha Sakte..

@waqar younis
He can play that leg glance with a walking stick also .

A banner once said-' I WILL SEE GOD WHEN I DIE BUT TILL THEN I WILL SEE
SACHIN ' that quiet defines Sachin-The greatest.

Sachin Tendulkar has often reminded me of a veteran army colonel who has
many medals on his chest to show how he has conquered bowlers all over the
world -- Allan Donald
And i remember reading in one of Allan Donald's interview. This interview
was in Cricket Talk
and 7-8 yrs ago.
I was bowling to Sachin and he hit me for two fours in a row. One from
point
and the other
in between point and gully. That was the last two balls of the over and the
over after that
we (SA) took a wicket and during the group meeting i told Jonty (Rhodes) to
be alert and i
know a way to pin Sachin. And i delivered the first ball of my next over
and
it was a
fuller length delevery outside offstump. And i shouted catch. To my
astonishment the ball
was hit to the cover boundary. Such was the brilliance of Sachin. His
reflex
time is the best
i have ever seen. Its like 1/20th of a sec. To get his wicket better not
prepare. Atleast
u wont regret if he hits you for boundaries.

Peter Rebouck - aussie journalist
On a train from Shimla to Delhi, there was a halt in one of the stations.
The train stopped by for few minutes as usual.
Sachin was nearing century, batting on 98. The passengers, railway
officials, everyone on the train waited for Sachin to complete the century.
This Genius can stop time in India!!

NKP Salve, former Union Minister
This was when he was accused of ball tempering
"Sachin cannot cheat. He is to cricket what (Mahatma) Gandhiji was to
politics. It's clear discrimination."

Andy Flower:
There are 2 kind of batsmen in the world. One Sachin Tendulkar. Two all the
others.

ते पण एक वय

After a long time i got something to post. really a nice one.
Im posting here only part of the poem that i like.....

three cheers for the poet ..(sorry i dont know him. i got this poem in mail)

ते पण एक वय असतं
दिवसभ पाळण्यात झोपायचंसगळ्यांकडून कौतुक करून घेण्याचं

ते पण एक वय असतं
हाफ चड्डीत गावभर फिरायचंआईची नजर चुकवून डब्यातलं खायचं

ते पण एक वय असतं
मुलींच्या स्क्रॅपबुक्स भरायचंआणि तरीही त्यांच्याशी बोलायला लाजायचं

ते पण एक वय असतं
घरी खोटं बोलून पिक्चरला जायचंआवाज म्युट करून रात्री एफटीव्ही पहायचं

ते पण एक वय असतं
तिच्यावरचं खरं प्रेम तिला सांगून टाकायचं तिच्या उत्तराची वाट पाहत रात्रंदिवस झुरायचं

ते पण एक वय असतं
आता छोकरी नंतर नोकरीच्या मागे लागायचंपॅकेजचा विचार करत एम.एस.ची स्वप्नं पहायचं

Long time no see............

I was damn busy in my work...and i don't realize how time passed..

So this only what i have for this time.

What other thinks about me is none of my business.

Marrying a Chartered Accountant .....

One of my friend forward me this in mail. it is so funny. CAs no personal....

The person who wrote this is really amazing....if you people know any such other posts.let me know.

Marrying a Chartered Accountant .....

When I told my mom that I wanted a professional woman as my wife, she got me
one; a Chartered Accountant. She uses LIFO method while taking out the
refrigerated food. She thinks I am no good at figure work. Fine with me, for
now she handles the budget of the house.

Initially she used to send me a bill at the month end, but when I told her
that I am not her client but her husband, she asks for the money in advance.
The expenses had been rising steadily over the months, so one day I snooped
into the papers maintained in a current file.

No wonder! She was charging conveyance and overtime to the house budget.

She is crazy, I tell her but she corrects me. "No my darling, I am the
auditor." I fail to see the light.

Every scrap of the paper in our house is filed.

She tells me as per some Ordinance she must keep a copy of every thing for
at least ten years before destroying it.

I am worried.

The other day we had an hour-long fight. Later, I got to know that she had
charged that hour to a client of hers, in the time sheet. My time was put
down as unoccupied.


She says that she loves me and I tell her that I love her too. However, she
never believes me. She says that there is susceptibility of it being a
misstatement. Duh! She wants my representation on this & Expert opinion of
some Expert!

Not a long time back my brother's wedding was to be solemnized. Wedding
cards had been sent. After some time I started receiving a steady trickle of
letters. I was puzzled until my wife explained that external evidence was
more reliable. She had called for confirmations from all those to whom cards
were sent.

When she cooks, my wife at times does not go by recipe. Where the recipe
says add half-teaspoon vinegar, one tsp black salt or one teacup of water,
she ignores them. She says that they are not material when taken in context
of whole meal being prepared.

She is crazy, I tell you. Surprisingly everybody calls her an auditor,
instead. I checked the dictionary and it did not state that auditor is a
synonym for crazy. The dictionary must be outdated. When we got married,
she had given me an Engagement Letter and I Had said how cute-how sweet.Now
she gives it to me every year saying that her standards state that it must
be sent anew if there is any indication that I have misunderstood the
objective and scope of engagement. Huh!

Apart from sending me the engagement letter once again she says I can't get
rid off her just like that. She says that she has the right of being heard
before I appoint some one else. It seems I must keep reading one local and
another English newspaper published and circulated in the vicinity of our
house for more details.

Phew! For a minute, I thought that we had jeopardized our going concern
status. Duh! Dare I say so??

I am told by one of my female colleagues who is married to a CA that the
scenario is even worse when the guy is a CA. Apparently he capitalised the
wedding expenses as preliminary expenses and is writing it off every year.
Also the time he spent dating his wife before marrying her is still under
consideration for valuation under AS-26...valuation of intangible assets.

So guys please think twice....should u really marry a CA? And yes please
discount it by the appropriate rate to arrive at the present value of the
risk of doing so !!!

A fantastic article by Francois Gautier– .........Is there such a thing as 'Hindu terrorism'.

Is there such a thing as 'Hindu terrorism', as the arrest of Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur for the recent Malegaon blasts may tend to prove? Well, I guess I was asked to write this column because I am one of that rare breed of foreign correspondents? a lover of Hindus! A born Frenchman, Catholic-educated and non-Hindu, I do hope I'll be given some credit for my opinions, which are not the product of my parents' ideas, my education or my atavism, but garnered from 25 years of reporting in South Asia (for Le Journal de Geneve and Le Figaro).
In the early 1980s, when I started freelancing in south India , doing photo features on kalaripayattu, the Ayyappa festival, or the Ayyanars, I slowly realised that the genius of this country lies in its Hindu ethos, in the true spirituality behind Hinduism. The average Hindu you meet in a million villages possesses this simple, innate spirituality and accepts your diversity, whether you are Christian or Muslim, Jain or Arab, French or Chinese. It is this Hinduness that makes the Indian Christian different from, say, a French Christian, or the Indian Muslim unlike a Saudi Muslim. I also learnt that Hindus not only believed that the divine could manifest itself at different times, under different names, using different scriptures (not to mention the wonderful avatar concept, the perfect answer to 21st century religious strife) but that they had also given refuge to persecuted minorities from across the world?Syrian Christians, Parsis, Jews, Armenians, and today, Tibetans. In 3,500 years of existence, Hindus have never militarily invaded another country, never tried to impose their religion on others by force or induced conversions.

You cannot find anybody less fundamentalist than a Hindu in the world and it saddens me when I see the Indian and western press equating terrorist groups like SIMI, which blow up innocent civilians, with ordinary, angry Hindus who burn churches without killing anybody. We know also that most of these communal incidents often involve persons from the same groups?often Dalits and tribals?some of who have converted to Christianity and others not.
However reprehensible the destruction of Babri Masjid, no Muslim was killed in the process; compare this to the 'vengeance' bombings of 1993 in Bombay , which wiped out hundreds of innocents, mostly Hindus. Yet the Babri Masjid destruction is often described by journalists as the more horrible act of the two. We also remember how Sharad Pawar, when he was chief minister of Maharashtra in 1993, lied about a bomb that was supposed to have gone off in a Muslim locality of Bombay .
I have never been politically correct, but have always written what I have discovered while reporting. Let me then be straightforward about this so-called Hindu terror. Hindus, since the first Arab invasions, have been at the receiving end of terrorism, whether it was by Timur, who killed 1,00,000 Hindus in a single day in 1399, or by the Portuguese Inquisition which crucified Brahmins in Goa . Today, Hindus are still being targeted: there were one million Hindus in the Kashmir valley in 1900; only a few hundred remain, the rest having fled in terror. Blasts after blasts have killed hundreds of innocent Hindus all over India in the last four years. Hindus, the overwhelming majority community of this country, are being made fun of, are despised, are deprived of the most basic facilities for one of their most sacred pilgrimages in Amarnath while their government heavily sponsors the Haj. They see their brothers and sisters converted to Christianity through inducements and financial traps, see a harmless 84-year-old swami and a sadhvi brutally murdered. Their gods are blasphemed.
So sometimes, enough is enough.At some point, after years or even centuries of submitting like sheep to slaughter, Hindus?whom the Mahatma once gently called cowards?erupt in uncontrolled fury. And it hurts badly. It happened in Gujarat . It happened in Jammu , then in Kandhamal, Mangalore, and Malegaon . It may happen again elsewhere. What should be understood is that this is a spontaneous revolution on the ground, by ordinary Hindus, without any planning from the political leadership. Therefore, the BJP, instead of acting embarrassed, should not disown those who choose other means to let their anguished voices be heard.

Song Dedicated to current situation of INDIA

"Hands Held High"

Turn my mike up louder I got to say something
Light weights step to the side when we come in

Feel it in your chest the syllables get pumping
People on the street they panic and start running

Words on loose leaf sheet complete coming
I jump in my mind and summon the rhyme, I'm dumping

Healing the blind I promise to let the sun in
Sick of the dark ways we march to the drum and

Jump when they tell us that they wanna see jumping
Fuck that I wanna see some fists pumping

Risk something, take back what's yours
Say something that you know they might attack you for

Cause I'm sick of being treated like I have before
Like it's stupid standing for what I'm standing for

Like this war's really just a different brand of war
Like it doesn't cater the rich and abandon poor

Like they understand you in the back of the jet
When you can't put gas in your tank

These fuckers are laughing their way to the bank and cashing the cheque
Asking you to have compassion and have some respect

For a leader so nervous in an obvious way
Stuttering and mumbling for nightly news to replay

And the rest of the world watching at the end of the day
In their living room laughing like "what did he say?"

[Chorus:]AmenAmenAmenAmenAmen

In my living room watching but I am not laughing
Cause when it gets tense I know what might happen

World is cold the bold men take action
Have to react or get blown into fractions

Ten years old it's something to see
Another kid my age drugged under a jeep

Taken and bound and found later under a tree
I wonder if he had thought the next one could be me

Do you see the soldiers they're out today
They brush the dust from bullet proof vests away

It's ironic at times like this you pray
But a bomb blew the mosque up yesterday

There's bombs in the buses, bikes, roads
Inside your market, your shops, your clothes

My dad he's got a lot of fear I know
But enough pride inside not to let that show

My brother had a book he would hold with pride
A little red cover with a broken spine

On the back, he hand-wrote a quote inside
When the rich wage war it's the poor who die

Meanwhile, the leader just talks away
Stuttering and mumbling for nightly news to replay

And the rest of the world watching at the end of the day
both scared and angry like "what did he say?"

[Chorus x6][x6]With hands held high into the sky so blue,
As the ocean opens up to swallow you.
