.....Right to Priority ....
....Brking the Displayed "Q" Halim , gatecrashed into the Morn Clinic ....hvin misread the Voice call on the automated address system , politely I sent him back ....thr r 6 more people ahead of him , I gently reminded him .....leaden foot he chugged out ....upon his scheduled turn , on close observation I felt I knew him well.....his chr Low back issues.....my heart was full of compassion for him nd I regretted tht I shud hv seen him as a priority instead of keeping him waiting ....I apologised , which he responded by a grin , saying he ought to be sorry for gate crashing ......my change in heart ,which is rather professional , donning the white Coat , is attributed to the fact tht I recollected Halim is Professionally the "Grave digger", his combat with the Eternal soil with his pickaxe nd spade , digging a 3 foot trench for the dead , braving it out day in & day out , be it sun , Moon , rain , heat , Humidity & breeze.....till the point his back wud turn sore , needing urgent help ......hvin formulated a routine treatment for propping him up....I asked him of his fmly , frnds at home....I told him , his noble job , sets him aside frm the rest.....the soil the ultimate destiny for all of us....Halim is the facilitator of none other thn God acting at His behest , providing an eternally peaceful bed for the departed ....I reminded him of the nobility of his profession & the Blessings accrued ....In our mythology the "Samsan Bandhus " : the Pall bearers to the Cremation & the Funeral pier facilitator hold an Unique place of Service towards humanity ........Such people nd Halim hv the rt to priority .....!!!!!

....The Plateau of delight .....
....the cool chilled water cascading over the rocks , meandering downstream over the rounded pebbles whr I am seated with my hands & finger dug into the shallow gravel base of the stream....still can feel the ripples in the hands as water gushes past .....December is the mnth where these Santhal Pargana rivers wud feel ethereal ....as Winter vacation away frm Hostel & School giving an ample opportunity to probe the environment where we belonged....thr wud be some shiny fishes too , making their way....the Ajay River overlooking the plateau ......its brown gravely coarse sand ....the air a steady breeze ....December chill....making an entry to the lungs, as if detoxifying it frm the City dirt & germs .....the feet now in the river bed the coarse gravel nd the water current making a gud task of cleansing the feet, as I perch finally on a small boulder in the river....the clean air , the clean water is too irresistable , as I bend joining the palms in a crucible drinking the Mineral water....the taste unparalleled....the water bottle duly filled stashed away in the bag....re bending for a final sprinkle of the running water on the face , Neck & head, for the final return back home.....!!!!

....Ecofrndly Deepawali....
...The Nobel Peace Prize to an Organization working towards a public Opinion on Nuclear disarmament is heartwarming .....Relevant & Encouraging ......as Smoking Kills , Nuclear arms decimates .......its high time now to ensure a positive campaign to achieve a Nuclear Arms free World ........the Human Story is tht of constant evolution for the good and not for the end of it .....not only Nuclear , as I had advocated earlier in this forum .....total ban of Lethal arms nd its industry is to be promoted as the Human beings r perishing on difft frnts whr there is strife ....21st century sees explosion of armoury of various kinds , all to be used against the Human race ......nd its easy availability & a booming arms industry need to be probed .....just for the sake of deterrence definitely its not a good idea as the world is sitting on powderkegs.....as the environment is harassed , not to spk of Lives lost , maimed ......a thoughtful approach of Course correction is mandatory .....as Delhi will Celebrate Diwali without Crackers on account of pollution ; a revolutionary step towards a Civilized society....
