Hi Friends,
Pleased to note that response to my first post has been amazing . Messages, mails are still pouring in !!! Thank you all for your kind words . Most of you are surprised to see this development , Some of you have asked to upload Manya`s snaps, some of you have asked me how to start your own blog . Okay, you may check blogspot, blogger, posterous etc or you may " Google " and select your blog site as per your requirements as each one has its own features . Will look forward to your blogs . Some of you have asked me about my next post. Well here it is...
We often share some fun mails while working . Such mails are always refreshing and take us away from office tensions for a while. I make it a point to forward each such mail that I receive . Pl register you e-mail id with me immediately in case you are not getting my mails :-) Today I got this mail on some Anna Hazare going on fast unto death from April 05 onwards . Apparently, Anna Hazare has given an ultimatum to Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh to enact stringent anti-corruption law – the peoples` “Jan Lokpal Bill” ! There`s more to this- Across India, Swami Ramdev, Sri Sri Ravishankar, Swami Agnivesh, Arch Bishop Vincent Concessao, Mahmood A Madani, Kiran Bedi, J M Lyngdoh, Shanti Bhushan, Prashant Bhushan, Arvind Kejriwal, Mufti Shamoom Qasmi, Mallika Sarabhai, Arun Bhatia, Sunita Godara, All India Bank Employees Federation, PAN IIT Alumni Association, Common Cause and many other prominent organizations and leaders will support Anna at Jantar Mantar, New Delhi ! I am not sure how far this is true but in case it is , I have a serious objection . Do you buy this ? On a personal front, I dont approve of such actions . You cannot force your demands onto the Govt. by going on fast unto death ! Talking on fasts, let me confess that although I am a Brahmin by birth I have not gone on a fast even once in my life . I have respects for all the Gods that we worship but no fasts for me please . I have observed that people tend to eat more during fasting . In lieu of the fast, people have a lot of fruits and sweet dishes that they do not remain hungry at all. Where is the sacrifice ? I feel we can never connect to God directly either by offering prayers or by fasting. We have not attained that spirituality , it takes a lot of effort, devotion and sacrifice . We need some one who has done Siddhi, someone who is close to God, dearer to him, a Sage, A Guru . Do you have one ?
Yesterday my colleague Ms. Divya N. has resigned from the services of IDBI Bank . She was posted at CMS, Andheri for about 2 years, later got transferred to Bangalore after marriage and now she bid adieu inorder to take care of her home and family . These women are so flexible and so versatile ! They can adjust to every role so effortlessly and to their perfection . Nidhi sacrificed her work career when I got posting in Solan without much regret although her job was respectable and salary package was fairly decent . I shall always carry this guilt in my mind that she had to stop working just because of me but my respect for her has grown even more through these years . Nidhi, Have I told you lately that I Love You ! I personally know some women who have opted out of their careers for the sake of their family. Haripriya Madam in Axis Bank resigned from her lucrative job from Manager`s position and settled abroad with her hubby . Ms. Anupama Srivastava stepped down from the position of Cluster Head and got request transfer to Solan as Back up Branch Manager and now Ms. Divya has resigned when her promotion was due . I distinclty remember , most of the toppers at my school and college have been girls, Vandana Bhatt, Tanu Kashyap, Neetu Sood to name a few. Each one of them was so tough competition for us guys ! Dear Manpreet Ahuja , Pankaj Mahajan, Arsh, Gaurav and all Vamnicom people reading this hope you will agree not to disagree with me this time ! Its a strange irony that girls put in so much effort in studies and work and later they give up everything to take care of household chores . They leave their homes ( so journ ) and quickly adapt to their new homes, their new Papas and Mummies. Such is the plight of women ! Sad But True .( Ohh I remember this song by Metallica ) I salute all these ladies above and all others I may have missed to mention who give priority to their families than their jobs . We can do nothing about this even if we want to . Our society is like this only. It will take many Anna Hazare`s to change the norms of the society, so to say .
Abstracts from a beautiful song by Bon Jovi :
I`ve been walking the footsteps of society`s lies,
I don`t like what I see anymore,
Sometimes I wish I was blind,
Sometimes I wait forever,
To stand out in the rain,
So no one sees me crying,
Trying to wash away the pain
Keep The Faith .
Yours Truly,
Munish.
