The Year that was !! Lets move on

The year 2009 has gone like any other year of the past. I won't say it was good one for me. Lot of hiccups in the year gone by.

Now lets Welcome 2010!!.
I hope it bring cheers, health, wealth for each and every one.

chalte raho, chalte raho,
ruk jana tera kaam nahi.

Samay ka pahiya kuchh samjhata hai,
beeta saal kuchh samjhata hai,
chalte raho, chalte raho,
ruk jana tera kaam nahi.


Kuchh khatte kuchh meethe pal the,
Jo beet gaye, beete saal ke saath,
pani ki dhar ho tum,
chalte raho, chalte raho,
ruk jana tera kaam nahi.


Kisase kya chahe, kya umeed kare,
Jo bhi aye samne, sab par apna,
Pyar, dular, lutate chalo,
chalte raho, chalte raho,
ruk jana tera kaam nahi.

Chandan Hai Is Desh Ki Mati

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.
