कल के अखबार में खबर पढ़ी की उत्तर प्रदेश में कुछ जिलो का माननीय मुख्यमंत्री साहिबा ने नामकरण किया है , तो फिर से ५-६ वर्ष पूर्व की यादे ताजा हो गयी जब कुछ इसी तरह की घटनाओ का दौर सा आ गया था , किसी ने नाम रखा तो किसी ने आकर उसे बदल दिया | ये सभी वाकये ये ही सोचने पर मजबूर कर देते है की क्या क्षेत्रीय दलों ने भी अपनी सार्थकता ,प्रासंगिकता खो दी है | कभी क्षेत्रीय दलों की नींव ही इसी बुनियाद पर हुई थी की राष्ट्रीय दल की सोच उस क्षेत्र के हिसाब से नहीं होती है और वो उस क्षेत्र के विकास लिए उस ढंग से नहीं सोच पाती है जैसा की उन्हें सोचना चहिये ,परन्तु अब तो यही लगता है की जिस सोच जिस विचारधारा के साथ क्षेत्रीय दल का जन्म हुआ था वो समाप्त हो चुकी है | वैसे हमे ये नहीं भूलना चहिये की नामकरण संस्कृति की जनक अपने देश की सबसे पुरानी पार्टी कांग्रेस पार्टी है इसी ने आगे चल के सबको राह दिखाई ,तभी तो इस मुद्दे पर वो चुप्पी साधे बैठे है पता है की अगर वो किसी पर ऊँगली उठाएगी तो उसके भी पुराने कच्चे चिट्ठे खुल जायेंगे | पूरी दिल्ली का कांग्रेसीकरण कर दिया गया है ,स्वतंत्रता सेनानियों से ज्यादा नेहरु(अब गाँधी) परिवार को तरजीह दी गयी हर जगह जिधर भी देखिये गाँधी परिवार के नाम पर कुछ न कुछ मिल जायेगा | क्या होगा इस देश का लगता है की हमारे नेताओ के पास विकास नाम का कोई शब्द शेष नहीं बचा है , या तो वो ये सोच कर विकास नहीं करते है की अगर विकास हो गया तो वो चुनाव किस मुद्दे पर लड़ेगे | जिसे देखो बस नाम के लिए मरा जा रहा है जीवित रहते ही सब इतिहास का हिस्सा बन जाना चाह रहे है , सब इसी होड़ में लगे है की किसका नाम मीडिया में ज्यादा आता है | अब तो चर्चा में रहने की ऐसी होड़ लगी है की सरकार के मंत्री आपस में ही बयानबाजी में उलझ जाते है एक दुसरे पर आरोप प्रत्यारोप लगाते है | मायावती तो जान बुझ कर ऐसे मुद्दे उठाती ही है की लोगो का ध्यान मुख्य समस्याओ से हट जाये और सब लोग इसी में उलझे रहे है (वैसे इस बात में भी वो अपने केंद्र सरकार का अनुसरण कर रही है वो भी ज्यादातर यही करती है),और वो आराम से दलितों के नाम पर अपनी राजनितिक रोटी सेंकती रहे | अगर वाकई हम सभी इस देश का भला चाहते है तो हमे अपने वोट के अधिकार का इस्तेमाल जिम्मेदारी के साथ करना होगा और देश के सभी ऐसे व्यक्तियों को अप्रासंगिक करना होगा जोकि इस देश के विकास में बाधक है चाहे हो वो किसी भी धर्म का हो किसी भी जाति का हो |
इस देश के लिए इस समाज के लिए हम सभी को आगे आना ही होगा |

भोपाल गैस त्रासदी
कल भोपाल की सी जे एम् कोर्ट ने भोपाल गैस त्रासदी अपना फैसला सुनाया , सुनकर लगा की आज भी हमारा देश गुलामी की जंजीरों में जकड़ा ही है |

जिल्लत की ज़िन्दगी रोज़ रोज़ जीने से अच्छा इज्जत की मौत होती है |

सावधान !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please note this carefully:
If you receive a phone call on your Mobile from any person saying that they are checking your mobile line or going to give you some offer/ prize, and ask you to press #90 or #09 or any other number.
End that call immediately without pressing any Number.
There is a company in Pakistan that is using a device that once you press #90 or #09 they can access your SIM card and make calls at your expense.
They are misusing it to make calls from Indian numbers. Forward this message to as many friends as u can, to stop it. This information has been confirmed by both Motorola and Nokia.. There are over 3 million mobile phones affected by this. You can check this news at CNN web site

TREMENDOUS LESSON
TREMENDOUS LESSON
It was a sports stadium. Eight children stood ready at the starting point of the athletics track to participate in the running event.
“Ready! Steady! …” Bang!!!
As the pistol went off, all the eight girls started running.
Hardly had they covered ten to fifteen steps when one of the smaller girls slipped and fell down. She had hurt herself and was very obviously in pain. As all children would in such a situation, she started crying.
When the other seven girls heard her crying, they stopped running, stood for a while and turned back. All of them ran back to the place where the girl that had fallen down lay crying in pain – and perhaps disappointment.
One among the other seven girls bent down and did all she could to soothe the pain in the affected foot. Then, she picked up the little girl gently, kissed her lovingly and enquired, “Hasn’t the pain reduced somewhat?”
All the seven girls thereafter comforted the fallen girl and helped her stand up. Two of them held her firmly and all the girls joined hands. Then, they walked together to reach the winning post all at once.
The officials were shocked while the sound of the clapping of hundreds of spectators overwhelmed the stadium. Many eyes were moist as the event was touching enough to move even God to tears!
This happened recently in Hyderabad (India) at the sports meet hosted and conducted by the National Institute of Mental Health.
All these were special girls – spastic and autistic children – who had come to participate in this event from far and wide. All of them are mentally challenged – people whom we most insensitively call “retarded.” But look at the power they have – what tremendous lessons they are capable of imparting …
So, what did these eight girls teach this world?
Sympathy and/or empathy?
Teamwork?
Humanity?
Equality for all?
Successful people help others who are slow in learning so that they are not left far behind?
We can't ever do what those girls achieved … because we have so-called ‘normal’ and even ‘super’ BRAINS!!
But isn’t the multi-dimensional message that came out of what these little challenged girls accomplished together simply great and sublime?

Helpful Tips on Eye Care
Helpful Tips on Eye Care
With so many of us spending lots of time in front of the computer every day it comes to no surprise that research is showing a rise in visual problems. What can one do? First, it’s important to find out how you can protect your eyes through eye health exams and by making a few minor changes in your computer viewing habits.
Here are some helpful Eye Care Tips -
Positioning is everything
Correct positioning of your computer, keyboard and typing copy is essential. Your screen should be positioned about an arm’s length from your eyes and 20 degrees below eye level. Consider foot and wrist rests for added comfort.
Lighting can make all the difference
Room lighting should be diffuse, not direct, to reduce glare and reflections from your screen. Look into an internal or external glare screen and be sure to set your colour, contrast and brightness levels to suit you.
A little extra help for your glasses
Anti-reflective coatings on the lenses of your glasses can be applied by your optometrist to reduce discomfort and to ease reduced vision from bright and/or flickering light sources such as VDTs and fluorescent lights. And don’t forget, your doctor of optometry can talk to you about eyeglasses designed specifically for people who use computers a lot.
Take time out, our 20-20-20 rule
Step I :-
After every 20 minutes of looking into the computer screen, turn your
head and try to look at any object placed at least 20 feet away. This
changes the focal length of your eyes, a must-do for the tired eyes.
Step II :-
Try and blink your eyes for 20 times in succession, to moisten them.
Step III :-
Time permitting of course, one should walk 20 paces after every 20 minutes
of sitting in one particular posture. Helps blood circulation for the entire body.
It’s all in the blinking
Did you know that on average we blink 12 times per minute? But wait, did you know that when we’re on the computer we only blink 5 times per minute? That can add up to dry eyes. Relieve the discomfort by using artificial tear drops or gels and remember to blink!
Palming
Sit straight at your workstation and rub your palms against each other till you feel them warm. The warmth of your palms helps soothe and relax tired eyes. Then, lightly cup your eyes with your palms and relax for 60 seconds. Count the seconds in your mind. Repeat this exercise two to three times whenever your eyes feel tired, or as often as you want. While palming, you can either rest your elbows on your desk or keep away from the desk and cup your eyes. Both ways are fine.
Splash water on your face
During breaks, splash water on your face while closing your eyes. This has an overall relaxing effect and helps you feel refreshed.
Use tea bags
Keep two used tea bags in the refrigerator before you leave for work. Once you are home, place the tea bags on your eyes for a few minutes as you relax. This not only soothes tired eyes, but also reduces puffiness.
Eat healthy
Incorporate Vitamins A, C, and E on a daily basis; eat citrus fruits, green leafy veggies, tomatoes, spinach, poultry and dairy products. Pack a box of chopped carrots, cucumber and fresh fruits and munch in-between meals at the office.

Then, lightly cup your eyes with your palms and relax for 60 seconds. Count the seconds in your mind. Repeat this exercise two to three times whenever your eyes feel tired, or as often as you want. While palming, you can either rest your elbows on your desk or keep away from the desk and cup your eyes. Both ways are fine.
Splash water on your face
During breaks, splash water on your face while closing your eyes. This has an overall relaxing effect and helps you feel refreshed.
Use tea bags
Keep two used tea bags in the refrigerator before you leave for work. Once you are home, place the tea bags on your eyes for a few minutes as you relax. This not only soothes tired eyes, but also reduces puffiness.
Eat healthy
Incorporate Vitamins A, C, and E on a daily basis; eat citrus fruits, green leafy veggies, tomatoes, spinach, poultry and dairy products. Pack a box of chopped carrots, cucumber and fresh fruits and munch in-between meals at the office.
