चंदन है इस देश की माटी तपोभूमि हर ग्राम है
हर बाला देवी की प्रतिमा बच्चा बच्चा राम है
हर शरीर मंदिर सा पावन हर मानव उपकारी है
जहॉं सिंह बन गये खिलौने गाय जहॉं मॉं प्यारी है
जहॉं सवेरा शंख बजाता लोरी गाती शाम है
जहॉं कर्म से भाग्य बदलता श्रम निष्ठा कल्याणी है
त्याग और तप की गाथाऍं गाती कवि की वाणी है
ज्ञान जहॉं का गंगाजल सा निर्मल है अविराम है
जिस के सैनिक समरभूमि मे गाया करते गीता है
जहॉं खेत मे हल के नीचे खेला करती सीता है
जीवन का आदर्श जहॉं पर परमेश्वर का धाम है
ENGLISH
chandan hai is desh kee maaTee, tapo bhoomi har graam hai
har baalaa devee kee pratimaa, bacchaa bacchaa raam hai
har shareer mandir saa paavan, har maanav upkaari hai
jahaan siňha ban gaye khilaune, gaay jahaaň maa pyaari hai
jahaaň savera shankh bajaataa, loree gaatee shaam hai
jahaaň karma se bhaagya badaltaa shrama nishThaa kalyaaNee hai
tyaag aur tap kee gaathaayeň, gaatee kavi kee vaanee hai
gnyaan jahaaň kaa gangaa jal saa, nirmal hai aviraam hai
jis ke sainik samar-bhoomi me, gaayaa karate geetaa hai
jahaaň khet me hal ke neeche, khelaa karati seetaa hai
jeevan kaa aadarsh jahaaň par, parameshvar kaa dhaam hai
Meaning
The soil of this country (Bhaarat) is like ‘chandan’, each village a ‘land of penance’. Each girl is an image of a Devi while each boy is ‘Ram’.
Each body is like a sacred mandir, every person benevolent, where lions became toys (the story of the little prince Bharat, who out of curiosity dared to open the jaw of a lion to count the teeth) and a cow is worshipped as a beloved mother. Here, dawn blows the ‘shankh’ every morning and dusk sings lullaby every evening.
Where one’s fortune is shaped through one’s actions, dedication to work is one’s sacred duty. Where the poets sing the saga of sacrifice and penance. The knowledge and wisdom of this land is like the water of Ganga - pure and perennial.Whose soldiers chant the holy Bhagavad Geeta in the battlefield. Where, in a field, Seeta was found playing under a plough. Where the goal of human life is nothing less than God-realisation.

Good Story to Understand Way of Living Our Life...!!!
Thanks Kiran for sharing wonderful insight....
"When I was a little girl, my mom liked to make breakfast food for dinner
every now and then. And I remember one night in particular when she had
made breakfast after a long, hard day at work.
On that evening so long ago, my mom placed a plate of eggs, sausage, and
extremely burned toast in front of my dad. I remember waiting to see if
anyone noticed! Yet all my dad did was reach for his toast, smile at my
mom, and ask me how my day was at school. I don't remember what I told him
that night, but I do remember watching him smear butter and jelly on that
toast and eat every bite!
When I got up from the table that evening, I remember hearing my mom
apologize to my dad for burning the toast. And I'll never forget what he
said: 'Baby, I love burned toast.'
Later that night, I went to kiss Daddy good night and I asked him if He
really liked his toast burned. He wrapped me in his arms and said,
'Debbie, your Momma put in a hard day at work today and she's real tired.
And besides-a little burnt toast never hurt anyone!' You know, life is
full of imperfect things....and imperfect people. I'm not the best
housekeeper or
cook.
What I've learned over the years is that learning to accept each other's
faults - and choosing to celebrate each other's differences - is one of
the most important keys to creating a healthy, growing, and lasting
relationship.
And that's my prayer for you today. That you will learn to take the good,
the bad, and the ugly parts of your lives and lay them at the feet of GOD.
Because in the end, He's the only One who will be able to give you a
marriage where burnt toast isn't a deal-breaker!
We could extend this to any relationship in fact - as understanding is the
base of any relationship, be it a husband-wife or parent-child or
friendship!! "

Time management
"The perfectionist is doomed to starvation in the midst of plenty."
Ken McCarthy
Perfectionism, like a mirage, lures you into a desert of false hopes. Your ideal hovers just out of reach while your day slips away. Regain your productivity! Learn to identify the 3 stages of poisonous perfectionism. Then use the following tips to reclaim your power over your time.
Which Set of Symptoms Match Yours the Most Closely?
Mild: " I waste time fine-tuning things that only I will notice. Then I scramble to finish the rest of the day's work. " Antidote: Develop a mantra that brings fresh perspective to a stuck situation. For example... "That'll do for now." "It's good enough."
Moderate: "Anything worth doing is worth doing right." "I seem to spend twice as much time as others on the final stages of a project, and rarely convince myself it's really complete." "I make several false starts and never feel satisfied with my finished product." "I work so intently on some projects that I never get around to other ones." Antidote: Your challenge is to open up a closed system of endless revisions. In addition to creating a positive mantra, establish a reasonable time frame to complete a project. Set an alarm, if you need to. When the time is up, change activities, no matter what. This becomes easier with practice. Also, consider broadening your perspective by asking a supportive friend or co-worker to review your work. The more actively you replace your all-or-nothing messages with your chosen mantra, the more you'll welcome feedback that dilutes the harshness of perfectionism.
Severe: "I often lose sleep at night rehearsing the events of the following day." "I'm so afraid of not being good enough that I become immobilized." Antidote: Recognize that your excessive standards are padlocking your productivity. Instead of putting your project under the microscope, examine your expectations of success. Have you developed inflated ideas of what "perfection" can bring? By replacing them with a realistic perspective, you can often deflate ballooning fears of failure.
If perfection remains a deeply ingrained value, substitute ideals of a perfect performance with a vision of perfect balance in your life. The essence of balance is learning when to let go. By participating in a balanced life rather than performing for impossible rewards, you will cultivate new strengths, and take genuine satisfaction in regaining control of your time.
"Getting the thing done, whatever it is, in time to actually
use and enjoy it is what matters the most."

What other ways can you benefit from time management skills?

PAIN-KILLER 2009
On March 6th, I participated in my Office's culural fest PAIN-KILLER 2009.
It was a huge success in terms of management, performances. Audiance had appreciated the entire effort.
It was the first time when I participated in office's cultural activities. Dance have been my passion and I N'joy it more than anything else.
I participated in a contemporary dance performance on the music of Shakar Mahadevan's TeaBreak.
Here are some snips.

HUEY NAAM-WAR BE-NISHAAN KAISE,KAISE
ZAMEEN KHA GAEE NAUJAWAAN KAISE,KAISE
aaj jawaani par itraane waale kal pachtaayega
aaj jawaani par itraane waale kal pachtaayega
chadta suraj dheere,dheere dhalta hai,dhal jaayega
chadta suraj dheere,dheere dhalta hai,dhal jaayega
dhal jaayega, dhal jaayega
dhal jaayega, dhal jaayega
tu yahan musaafir hai yeh saraa-e-faani hai
chaar roz ki mehmaan teri zindagaani hai
teri zindagaani hai, teri zindagaani hai
zar,zameen,zevar kuch na saath jaayega
khaali haat aaya hai khaali haat jaayega
khaali haat jaayega, khaali haat jaayega
jaan kar bhi anjaana ban raha hai deewane
apni umr-e-faani par tan raha hai deewane
is kadar tu khoya hai is jahan ke mele mein
tu khuda ko bhula hai fans ke is jhamele mein
aaj tak yeh dekha hai paane waala khota hai
zindagi ko jo samjha zindagi pe rota hai
zindagi pe rota hai, zindagi pe rota hai
mitne waali is duniya ka aitebaar karta hai
kya samajh ke tu aakhir is se pyaar karta hai
is se pyaar karta hai, is se pyaar karta hai
apni,apni fikron mein jo bhi hai woh uljha hai
zindagi haqeeqat mein kya hai kaun samjha hai
kya hia kaun samjha hai, kya hai kaun samjha hai
aaj samajhleeeeeee
aaj samajhle kal yeh mauka haat na tere aayega
oh gaflat ki neend sone waale ek din dhoka khaayega
chadta suraj dheere,dheere dhalta hai dhal jaayega
chadta suraj dheere,dheere dhalta hai dhal jaayega
dhal jaayega, dhal jaayega
dhal jaayega, dhal jaayega
maut ne zamaane ko yeh sama dikha dala
kaise,kaise rustam ko khaak mein mila dala
khaak mein mila dala, khaak mein mila dala
yaad rakh us sikandar ke hosle to aali they
jab gaya tha duniya se dono haat khaali they
dono haat khaali they, dono haat khaali they
ab na woh sikandar hai aur na uske saathi hai
jangaju na poras hai aur na uske haati hai
kal jo tanke chalte they apni shaan-o-shaukat par
shamma tak nahi jalti aaj unki turbat par
adnaa ho ya aala ho sabko laut jaana hai
sabko laut jaana hai, sabko laut jaana hai
muflis-o-tavangar ka kabr hi thikaana hai
kabr hi thikaana hai, kabr hi thikaana hai
jaisi karniiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
jasi karni waisi bharni aaj kya kal paayega
sar ko utha kar chalne waala ek din thokar khaayega
chadta suraj dheere,dheere dhalta hai dhal jaayega
chadta suraj dheere,dheere dhalta hai dhal jaayega
dhal jaayega, dhal jaayega
dhal jaayega, dhal jaayega
maut sabko aani hai kaun isse *****a hai
tu fanah nahi hoga yeh khayaal jhoota hai
yeh khayaal jhoota hai, yeh khayaal jhoota hai
saans toot.te hi sab rishe toot jaayenge
baap,maan,behen,biwi,bacche ***** jaayenge
bacche ***** jaayenge, bacche ***** jaayenge
tere jitne bhai hai waqt ka chalan denge
cheen kar teri daulat do hi gaz kafan denge
do hi gaz kafan denge, do hi gaz kafan denge
jinko apna kehta hai kab yeh tere saathi hai
kabr hai teri manzil aur yeh baraati hai
laake kabr mein tujhko murda paak daalenge
apne hi haaton se tere moonh pe khaak dalenge
tere moonh pe khaak daalenge, tere moonh pe khaak daalenge
teri saari ulfat ko khaak mein mila dnenge
khaak mein mila denge, khaak mein mila denge
tere chahane waale kal tujhe bhulaa denge
kal tujhe bhulaa denge, kal tujhe bhula denge
isiliye yeh kehta hoon khoob sochle dil mein
kyon fansaaye baitha hai apni jaan mushkil mein
kar gunaahon se tauba aage waqt sanbhal jaaye
aage waqt sanbhal jaaye, aage waqt sanbhal jaaye
dum ka kya bharosa hai jaane kab nikal jaaye
jaane kab nikal jaaye, jaane kab nikal jaaye
mutthi baand ke aane waaleeeeeeee
mutthi baand ke aane waale haat pasaare jaayega
dhan daulat jaagir tune kya paaya hai kya paayega
chadta suraj dheere,dheere dhalta hai dhal jaayega
chadta suraj dheere,dheere dhalta hai dhal jaayega
dhal jaayega, dhal jaayega
