FALTUSTUFF

Pyaar Ke Saagar Ho Gyaan Ke Mandir Ho Aakhon Me Baste Ho Hoton Pe Haste Ho Har Pal Jatate To Tera Main Tera Main Tera Main Tera Main

The elevator made a ‘ting’ sound as it stopped on the fourth floor. The stairway was badly lit. The only tube light present flickered for life but eventually got osLt in the shadows of darkness after a mere struggle of 5 seconds. I reached my flat and rang the bell. College was fun today, I had bunked two classes and went to Café Oxy. It had the best flavored hookah in town. My friends had dropped me to my place. An empty stomach filled with some ‘paan’ flavored smoke, the cold breeze after the rain and my water soaked clothes were making it difficult to stand without shivering. Weather in Kolkata had suddenly changed over ten days. The frequent rain in the evening had generated many statuses on Facebook saying ‘I love this weather’, ‘I want to go out’ and stuff like that, and was also the sole reason for Kolkata Knight Rider’s loss in the last match. It’s so easy to blame someone else for what is entirely your own fault. Isn’t? Even my personal life was not going that well. Poor marks in exam, a fight with a good friend, no increment in pocket money, all the more reasons to hate life, I thought. I don’t know, we are told that this phase, this post-teenage phase is the building ground for our future. It’s when we seriously decide what we are going to do with our lives and mostly because we have to. It’s now or never. The pressure of being successful or being better than someone else after sometime gets to you. My life was going nowhere. And it had changed me over the days. I started hating people randomly. I started fighting with them. I thought they were the reason for my bad marks. Or the fights I had with them. I even stopped talking to the people who loved me the most, my parents.

1.The story began when I was a child; I was born as a son of not a rich family. Even for eating, we often got lack of food. Whenever the time for eating, mother often gave me her portion of rice. While she was removing her rice into my bowl, she would say "Eat this rice, son.. I'm not hungry". That was Mother's First Lie

2.When I was getting to grow up, the persevering mother gave her spare time for fishing in a river near our house, she hoped that from the fishes she got, she could gave me a little bit nutritious food for my growth. After fishing, she would cook the fishes to be a fresh fish soup, which raised my appetite. While I was eating the soup, mother would sit beside me and eat the rest meat of fish, which was still on the bone of the fish I ate. My heart was touched when I saw it. I then used my chopstick and gave the other fish to her. But she immediately refused it and said "Eat this fish, son. I don't really like fish." That was Mother's Second Lie.

3.Then, when I was in Junior High School, to fund my study, mother went to an economic enterprise to bring some used-matches boxes that would be stuck in. It gave her some money for covering our needs. As the winter came, I woke up from my sleep and looked at my mother who was still awoke, supported by a little candlelight and within her perseverance she continued the work of sticking some used-matches box. I said, "Mother, go to sleep, it's late, tomorrow morning you still have to go for work." Mother smiled and said "Go to sleep, dear. I'm not tired." That was Mother's Third Lie.

4.At the time of final term, mother asked for a leave from her work in order to accompany me. While the daytime was coming and the heat of the sun was starting to shine, the strong and persevering mother waited for me under the heat of the sun's shine for several hours. As the bell rang, which indicated that the final exam had finished, mother immediately welcomed me and poured me a glass of tea that she had prepared before in a cold bottle. The very thick tea was not as thick as my mother's love, which was much thicker. Seeing my mother covering with perspiration, I at once gave her my glass and asked her to drink too. Mother said "Drink, son. I'm not thirsty!". That was Mother's Fourth Lie.

5.After the death of my father because of illness, my poor mother had to play her role as a single parent. By held on her former job, she had to fund our needs alone. Our family's life was more complicated. No days without sufferance. Seeing our family's condition that was getting worse, there was a nice uncle who lived near my house came to help us, either in a big problem and a small problem.
Our other neighbors who lived next to us saw that our family's life was so unfortunate, they often advised my mother to marry again. But mother, who was stubborn, didn't care to their advice, she said "I don't need love." That was Mother's Fifth Lie.

6.After I had finished my study and then got a job, it was the time for my old mother to retire. But she didn't want to; she was sincere to go to the marketplace every morning, just to sell some vegetable for fulfilling her needs. I, who worked in the other city, often sent her some money to help her in fulfilling her needs, but she was stubborn for not accepting the money. She even sent the money back to me. She said "I have enough money." That was Mother's Sixth Lie.

7.After graduated from Bachelor Degree, I then continued my study to Master Degree. I took the degree, which was funded by a company through a scholarship program, from a famous University in America . I finally worked in the company. Within a quite high salary, I intended to take my mother to enjoy her life in America . But my lovely mother didn't want to bother her son, she said to me "I'm not used to."
That was Mother's Seventh Lie.

8.After entering her old age, mother got a flank cancer and had to be hospitalized. I, who lived in miles away and across the ocean, directly went home to visit my dearest mother. She lied down in weakness on her bed after having an operation. Mother, who looked so old, was staring at me in deep yearn. She tried to spread her smile on her face; even it looked so stiff because of the disease she held out. It was clear enough to see how the disease broke my mother's body, thus she looked so weak and thin. I stared at my mother within tears flowing on my face. My heart was hurt, so hurt, seeing my mother on that condition. But mother, with her strength, said "Don't cry, my dear. I'm not in pain." That was Mother's Eight Lie.
After saying her eighth lie, my dearest mother closed her eyes forever!

SHARE THIS GREATNESS OF MOTHER ON UR WALL..
HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!!!!!!

Disbelief, horror, tears, smiles --- Aamir Khan evoked all this among his rapt audience as he dealt with the sensitive topic of female foeticide and bias toward the male child in the first episode of "Satyamev Jayate" Sunday - without being preachy. 

There were many moist eyes among those in the TV audience and many more at homes and offices across India as people tuned in to watch the much-awaited programme, which Aamir Khan said in his ads he wanted to replicate the phenomena created by the epic "Mahabharat" and "Ramayana" teleserials of yore on Sunday mornings. 

Equipped with well-researched instances and case studies, Aamir's one-and-a-half hour programme was telecast on Star Plus and Doordarshan simultaneously. 

The maiden episode highlighted how unethical medical practitioners are hand in glove with families wanting to kill the female unborn baby. 

He also dispelled the perception among people that female foeticide is practised by rural people or those living in small towns with Mitu Khurana's case. She is a doctor who has left home to save her twin daughters from death from her educated in-law's family. 

The episode started with the case of Amisha Yagnik from Ahmedabad who said she was forced to abort her female unborn child six times in eight years, while Parveen Khan, from Morena, Madhya Pradesh, was brutally bitten by her husband on her face for having given birth to a girl child against his wishes. 

Delhi-based doctor Mitu Khurana was asked by her orthopaedic surgeon husband and in-laws to abort her girl twins just after 20 weeks of conceiving.

She said her husband and in-laws "took every wrong step to force me to abort" but thanks to her family (father)"I saved my kids", Mitu said on the show. 

Her mother-in-law, a retired vice-principal from a Rohtak school, kicked a baby basket with one of the babies down the stairs. Miraculously, the child was saved. 

"My mother-in-law was so much against my kids that she tried to kill them even after their birth," she said on the show. 

The story of the three women brought tears to host Aamir's eyes as well as that of many in the audience. 

According to 2011 Census, the rate at which the unborn female child is killed amounts to killing off 10,00,000 girls a year. 

According to the 2011 census, there were 914 girls for every 1,000 boys. 

Aamir brought into focus the dangers of female foeticide by showing a village in Khurukshetra in Haryana where marriagable men have not been able to find women to marry as there were no women in that age bracket left. 

In the first episode of "Satyamev Jayate", he highlighted another danger of female foeticide - human trafficking. Virendra Vidrohi, a social activist from Alwar Rajasthan, said thousands of women from poor families in eastern states are being "sold" in some places in Rajasthan due to a dearth of women. 

"In the last one year 15,000 women from Bihar, Orissa and Andhra Pradesh have been brought and sold here to families. This has led to human trafficking in Rajasthan," he added. 

Aamir also forcefully stated to the audience that the sex of the unborn child depended on the chromosome of the father. 

"If we worship goddess Durga, why kill unborn girls," he said. 

Aamir Khan also brought on the show two journalists who carried out a sting operation against doctors involved in sex determination in Rajasthan and how the case is still dragging in various courts in Rajasthan. 

He kept people glued to the show and promised to tell them of a "magic wand" to get rid of the evil practice of female foeticide at the end of the show. Pointing at the audience, he said it is time to take a stand and all should get involved - and now.
