गाँधी से बड़े गाँधी : लाल बहादुर शास्त्री

Image
किस्सा तब का है जब लाल बहादुर शास्त्री प्रधानमंत्री बने ही थे | पहली पत्रकार वार्ता में उन्हे इशारों ही इशारों में समकालिक धुरंधर पत्रकारों ने बता दिया कि नेहरू जी की छवि इस कुर्सी पर उनके मरने के बाद भी बनी रहेगी और शास्त्री जी को नेहरू जी की बनायी नीति से ही चलना पड़ेगा | दौर ऐसा हो चला था कि कांग्रेस अपने आप को प्रधानमंत्री पद से उपर समझने लगी थी, एक राज परिवार की तरह | शास्त्री जी को विवशता वश इन्दिरा को केन्द्रीया सूचना प्रसारण मंत्री भी बनाना पड़ा | अब प्रधानमंत्री बने शायद कुछ ही दिन हुए होंगे, उनके पास इन्दिरा जी की चिट्ठी आई जिसमे प्रधानमंत्री निवास "तीन मूर्ति भवन" को नेहरू मेमोरियल बनाने की माँग थी | "यह घर बहुत बड़ा है निवास के लिए, नेहरू जी का रुतबा बड़ा था, उनसे बहुत लोग मिलने आते थे, पर भविष्य में किसी प्रधानमन्त्री का रुतबा इतना बड़ा नहीं होगा" लिखकर इन्दिरा जी ने अंत किया |यह चिठ्ठी किसी तीर की तरह शास्त्री जी के हृदय में लग गयी | वे स्वाभिमानी थे, उन्होने अपना निवास बदलने का आदेश दे दिया | यहा से शुरू हुई शास्त्री जी और इंदिरा जी का शी...

सीता राम|| सीता राम ||

श्यामल तन है, श्यामल मन है, कैसे तुझको ढूंढूँ राम| ख़ूब बजाए शंख नगाड़े,  गया अयोध्या हर मंदिर राम || गंगा जमुना श्यामल हुई , धुले ना फिर भी पाप ओ राम|  हर पल जपता मैं सीता राम,  कभी ना मिलते तुम राजा राम || चंद्रशिल्ला में तप किया,  चित्रकूट में दान | कण कण में तेरा नाम,  फिर भी ना मिलते तुम राजा राम || वो कहते मुझको अज्ञानी,  तुमको बतालाते मिथ्या राम| किस पथ जाऊ कैसे समझाऊँ,  तुम्ही हो मेरे राजा राम || सुमरूँ मैं सुबहा-शाम,  किस लोक तुम अंतरध्यान  | नजर ना आओगे जब तक राम,  जपता रहूँगा सीता राम ||

Can LED Lights help in fighting Global warming ?

The criticality of digital innovations is accentuated when the link between increasing emissions and resource utilization comes to the fore. Empirical evidence indicates that for every 1 percent rise in global GDP, CO₂ emissions increase by around 0.5 percent. In the long run, this ‘high-growth, high-carbon’ path can create an existential dilemma for modern civilization: while development is a universal imperative, it’s also important to stop the relentless rise in global warming, which is threatening to submerge low-lying regions and some coastal nations. Can modern development therefore be sacrificed at the altar of sustainability and for safeguarding the planet? Clearly, this is not possible because development is an irresistible phenomenon that has gathered its own momentum. Therefore, the way out is via energy efficient technologies and the resultant transformation it unleashes. Significantly, although modern development has created a carbon-trail crisis that has fueled climat...

Chopta Tungnath Chandrashilla - Gateway to the Photographer's heaven.!

WOW ! I would like to make my house here!   That was the first thing I whispered having reached the summit.  I sat there on the edge of the cliff in peace, mesmerized by the beauty. For couple of minutes I froze myself to stare at the unending layers of blue hills. I was High, High by 4000M. I looked as as far as i could with my eyes wide open and tried to grasp as much of the landscape as i could without blinking.  Its 2 year since then, still feels like yesterday. In these 2 years I have visited this place thrice, witnessing a different picture each time.  I have seen this place transforming from a snow beauty to green Meadow. I have seen a clear blue sky showering snow and ice balls and Milky Way dancing over mountains, after moon set.  The moon set as seen from the peak of the chandrashilla truly signifies its name. Out of all, standing at an elevation of 3600 m on a cliff and experiencing the drift of wind mixed with snowflake...
