Men at top are so obsessed with their own theories and ideas that they often to authenticate their words quote unverified authorities. They will tell everybody how well read and knowledgeable they are. They will assert how competitive their life was and how they by the dint of their hard work and dedication they rose to the top.Their ambition is to remain at the top by hook or crook and enjoy the comforts and privileges (legally or illegal) of being at top.Their life ,therefore is extremely image-oriented.They insist about being ultra-innovative and superior to everybody around them. After listening to them for hours, you keep wondering why their speech lacked substance and why they avoided the real issues.....</div>

This is a photograph taken inside BIET, Sikar near the main entrance on 16-10-2012 with the Principal Dr Das, the Director Sri Mishra and other faculty members. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sikar is a district in Rajasthan. And I went there because my friend Dr Das requested me to visit him. During my first visit in August, I fell in love with the entire setup including the students coming predominantly from rural background. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I accepted their request to be a visiting teacher and to share my life's experiences with them. I must admit that this has been a turning point in my life. I am now anxiously looking forward to that week I spend in BIET every month with the students with whom my interaction is there both in the class room and in field in the Aravalli mountains. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Incidentally, this is the first time that I am doing field work in the Aravallis. </div>

Rising in the morning<br />
Very inspiring<br />
Working through a day breathtaking<br />
This indeed is admirable<br />
Truly mesmerising<br />
Stylishly varying<br />
When I am indulging<br />
I find it scintillating<br />
Astonishingly opulent<br />
Brightly glittering<br />
And dazzling<br />
That really is my life<br />
Very thrilling... <br />

Have you thought about ?<br />
What you will do <br />
If you cannot win<br />
Remember failure is<br />
Not yet the end.<br />
You may not have much choice<br />
You may have to repeat<br />
All over again.<br />
Try try again<br />
Till you succeed and win.<br />

Vedanta says<br />
The ultimate reality is brahman.<br />
Upanishads describe Him as shunya.<br />
How can I perceive<br />
This negative nothingness?<br />
I want a God who is with us<br />
He exists because<br />
He is Sampurna.<br />
He is not Shunya<br />
All our desires end<br />
When we reach him<br />
Bhima bhoi had wished to remain blind<br />
After a vision of the Lord.<br />
Because after seeing Him<br />
There is nothing more to be seen<br />
Once you reach Him<br />
Your journey ends<br />
After getting Him<br />
There is nothing more to get.<br />
He is all pervading<br />
He is all around us<br />
Above us and below us<br />
Knowing Him is attaining bliss<br />
He is eternal and endless<br />
The everlasting, the continuous and the Whole<br />
Brahma is knowledge<br />
He is divine and dispassion<br />
He is power, energy and strength<br />
He is eternal, He is wealth and fame<br />
Infinite, permanent and unperishable<br />
He is my support<br />
Through out my life.</div>

That year there was no rain.<br />
She went away causing me a lot of pain.<br />
The winter came morosely,<br />
It was very chilly<br />
Followed by a scorching summer<br />
It was lonely without her.<br />
<br />
Then came four months of heavy rain<br />
And a crying autumn,<br />
A year passed by,<br />
The earth and sky were never so dry,<br />
I stared at a path infinite,<br />
Counting the days<br />
And hoping that by night,<br />
She will return to my embrace<br />
And we will hold each others hands.<br />
<br />
Will she ever really return<br />
She trods in a holy sojourn<br />
I will have to live alone<br />
With the pain of separation.</div>

If our lives were shorn<br />
Of false promises of politician<br />
Their speeches so phony<br />
Calculated promises broken<br />
Modest are the needs of people<br />
Almost same across all<br />
Their want is minimum<br />
A shelter,bit of health care and education<br />
To earn enough from a job secure<br />
To feed the family and buy clothes to cover<br />
Is this modest hope<br />
Too much to cope<br />
<br />
<br />
