We think sometimes

that poverty is only being hungry,

naked and homeless.

The poverty of being unwanted,

unloved and uncared for is the greatest poverty.

We must start in our own homes

to remedy this kind of poverty.

Mother Teresa

Take up one idea.

Make that one idea your life – think of it,

dream of it, live on that idea.

Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body,

be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone.

This is the way to success.

Swami Vivekananda

Stay happy, healthy and safe- 126!

Be the living expression of God’s kindness;

kindness in your face,

kindness in your eyes,

kindness in your smile

बातें, जो बीत गईं !!

July 29, 2020March 16, 2022 Rekha Sahay20 Comments

कहते हैं जो बीत गई वो बात गई.

उन्हें जाने देना चाहिए !

पर सच तो है कि बहुत सी बीती बातें हीं

ठहर जातीं है बीत जाने पर भी,

जिद्द की तरह !!

बातों का क्या है – कही, अनकही,

कुछ अधूरी, कुछ पूरी. अटकी रहतीं हैं,

घर बना कर ज़ेहन के किसी कोने में.

ज़िन्दगी का हिस्सा बन.

जो बीत गई ,

वो बात रह गई ज़िंदगी का हिस्सा बन कर !!!

Stay happy, healthy and safe-125

There is only one way to avoid criticism:

do nothing

say nothing,

and be nothing.

Nature Conservation Day 2020: In a bid to promote conservation, raise awareness and encourage sustainability, every year World Nature Conservation Day is observed on July 28.

World Nature Conservation Day: Five steps can we take

Let us encourage community participation in protecting, conserving and sustainable management of things we use every day.
Discourage wastage of food, water and items of regular use.
Switch off lights, fans and air conditioners when we leave the room.
Close the tap properly after brushing or washing hands. Every drop counts and many neighbourhoods today realise that at the peak of summer when we face water scarcity.
Rain water harvesting during the monsoon season and composting the daily vegetable peels can go a long way in developing a self-sufficient and sustainable life. Those of us who have a green patch can try growing herbs and vegetables of daily use.

The first and greatest

victory is to conquer yourself;

to be conquered by yourself

is of all things most shameful and vile.

Love is born into every human being;

it calls back the halves of

our original nature together;

it tries to make

one out of two and heal

the wound of human nature.

ज़िंदगी में लोंग आते हैं सबक़ बन कर।

फ़र्क़ यह है कि किस का असर कैसा है?

वे तराश कर जातें या तोड़ कर ?

पर तय है एक बात ,

चोट करने वाले भी टूटा करते हैं।

हथौडिया छेनियाँ भी टूटा करतीं है।

Excellence is not a gift,

but a skill that takes practice.

We do not act ‘rightly’

because we are ‘excellent’,

in fact we achieve ‘excellence’

by acting ‘rightly.
