Hari is a porter, transporting cargo from one place to another. He is a graduate from Ravi Shanker University of Chhatisgarh. Destiny has not been kind to him as he was unemployed in spite of his educational qualifications. The call of hunger forced him to venture the job of a porter. He has been reticently following the schedule without any complaint. He is grateful for being healthy enough to work as he is able to earn for his square meal.
Shaleen is a business man with two sari showrooms to his credit in the city of Jaipur. He started off as a salesman, visiting home to home selling saris. His amiable and compromising nature had yielded him respect and credibility which in turn earned him the faith of his customers. He has no degrees to claim as educational eligibility. But he is an avid learner and an ardent dreamer. He is meticulous in his efforts and has a clear vision which propels him to inch towards his success. Within a short span of five years he has established a sari shop in the center of the city. His amiable and customer friendly approach has paid off. He renovated his sari shop and expanded the business. Soon he could put up another shop at the business center of the city. He has provided about 150 job opportunities. As many as 30 graduates report directly to him, taking care of his accounts and administration. He has even appointed an MBA to explore his business opportunities elsewhere.
Indeed India is a land of diversity. There is no doubt that it is a great country. However it is a land where dynamics that works well with one may not result in substantial gain from other quarters. One needs to regulate and reorganize their strategies. This country has policies and welfare schemes intended to take care of each and every individual, besides focusing on the upliftment of the poorer section. Yet it takes quite some time, before these schemes reach the common man. The work ethics is such in India.
India is indeed is a blessed country. Indians look up to their country with great pride. Every place you visit here has something to offer you in a platter. How can the serenity of life and depth of information as you move around down south be ignored? Who wouldn’t find the different colours of life fascinating when it is served in its full fervor when you happen to visit places like Delhi, Rajasthan or Punjab? A Bengali may surprise you with his persisting sweetness. As you stride your steps into the interiors of rural India you will be swept off your feet with the resplendence and glory of the rich culture.
India is indeed a land with a difference. In India there is no discrimination when it comes to natural, uninfluenced favours. A millionaire with no qualifications whatsoever or a downtrodden despite his best educational background is a frequent occurrence here. An Indian can be a globe trotter with explicit experience and exposure, yet come back and stare at the foreigner he happens to meet on the beaches of Kovalam without a tinge of pretentiousness. This country is indeed a land of peculiarities!

India Calling
Walk around the wrap of misty morning
Talk with the whispering wind
Stalk along the winding roads
Balk for a while at the tempting wilderness
That is within your soul, India calling
Look for a while to see around
Nook and corner, life with full vigor
Cook food for heart with tasty aroma
Book a place to experience the broth
That is served with the feel of India calling.
Taj Mehal invites you to explore
Red fort speaks about the days of yore
India gate, gateway of India implore
To recall the glory of days galore
that is for me my India Calling
Walk around the wrap of misty morning
Talk with the whispering wind
Stalk along the winding roads
Balk for a while at the tempting wilderness
That is within your soul, India calling
Look for a while to see around

Book a place to experience the broth

An Era serving DPS, Korba was over on 3rd June, my life takes a new beginning, I am as apprehensive as a tiny tot who refuses to proceed to school from a safe environment. DPS has given me a new identity, confidence, care and lots of love. I used to feel pampered here.
This is an excerpt from the farewell speech that I gave in DPS.
I am not an expert in judging people. I am not judgemental too. These are simply my observation about my colleagues in DPS,Korba. I owe my gratitude to many people in DPS Korba. The first and foremost ones to receive it are my students. Principal's like DR.B.SINGH DR.ARUN JEE, (Late) MR,MAHESWARI have played significant role in molding me as a fine teacher in DPS Korba. But it was Mr.Satish Sharma who really boosted my morale and helped gain that acceptance from within myself. I owe that credit to him. here it goes:
Let me start with the captain of the ship
Our Principal Mr. Satish Sharma
A man who never believes in dumping people
Even if one doesn’t show a promising feature
He explores possibilities and engages them
They do the deed to feel great
He does shower praises
A blend of amiability and sterness
I have been fortunate to be
Working under his leadership
Getting umpteen opportunities to grow
As he gave me challenges of many sorts
Be it quality circle forign trip,
Or be it compering in hindi
He even made me speak an extempore in hindi, once
I owe all the praises i get here
These I could never trust myself with
No words to express my gratitude
All that you have been to me sir.
A rare combination of beauty and brain
Her class children adore
You find a nightingale, a fine artist and….
Ask me what quality she has not
And I will have no answer
That’s our headmistress
Mrs Tanushree Bhowmick
Works with the spirits of a true warrior,
Traditional and competent,
Systematic does he serve
He is none other than our Tripathi sir.
A task master that she is,
Never budges from the rules of conduct,
Tough exterior but has a heart
That beats for everyone’s well being
This how I see u, my dear Usha
Talk of movies or talk of songs
They are on his finger tips,
Just as mathematics is for him,
Hilarious at times his comments are,
Fun it was working with Ranjan Sahu sir.
Where there is a problem
Appears he with a solution,
I told you so, that’s his statement
Shouting and arguing yet a pure heart
That is Patel sir for me
Jeevan hai sukh dukh ki sreni,
Agar jeena hai is duniya mein sab ke saath,
Kyon na kuchh pal has kar jiye
Kuchh mazak karke aur kuchh pal mazak udakar
Ye hein mera pyara dost Shailedra
If He sits beside you, or he states a comment for you,
Know that you have done a deed commendable
Witty are his comments unique,
Thought provoking are his remarks unusual
Too subtle but too honest
That’s Rajiv as I see you.
House warden ho to inke jaisa,
Tutors know they will have no rest
Till the house work is incomplete
Passionate for his house
Cool and composed, never a moment infuriated
That is Mahapatra sir
Cool, composed is he too,
Very careful with his words,
An exterior of a thorough professional,
But here is a man with depth in persona,
High sensitivity, quick wittedness and perseverance
That is what Ayan Gupta is all about according to me
Energy incarnated as him,
Ideas stand at his service,
Quiz or music programmes,
Case study or skit,
A Vijay touch brings laurels
As his name suggests
He is your comrade yet confidential,
Cordial is his manners are,
Morning seems so incomplete
Without a warm handshake from Patro sir
General issues of the world, country or town
Are his topics of discussion,
Not a gossip monger, but a man with cool demeanour
That is Neeraj Sharma sir
Thorough gentle man that he is
Patience disguised as him
Has come to DPS ,Korba
To make us all computer friendly
Without prejudices he works
That is Kanwar sir I know of
Works as much silently as is possible,
Let not the world know,
What goes through this generous hands,
Helping countless as they come,
This is the beauty of Nalini Kaul
Working with panache and passion
Act with thorough consideration
Mingling with us all with wit
The chotu of us seniors
That Ashish the time tabler
A close association with me, friends

When she suggests the ways of the world
Guides with a lot of love

The school on toes
And at his service
Comes out with quality programmes
That is Champuria sir as I see

A lady with indomitable will
To pursue the goal towards victory
In sports and games

An enchanting smile that he possess
With rare skill he imparts his lessons of physics
His ways never showing off at all
Sarangi sir is the man I speak of
She is as her name suggests
A stream of talent, obvious to us all
Flowing as if from no where
From the moment an assignment entrusted
Taking the sinking ships to glory
Nightingale is she but refuses to sing
That is what Sarita is for me (we joined together in DPS Korba)
Patience with panache
Love with compassion
Energy with exuberance
A passionate teacher
With an incredible sense of humour
That dear Snigdha as my friend
Working steadily and systematically
Speaking softly but with intention firm
Gentle as we converse
Soft spoken is he always,
I adore Meher Sir for his cool demeanour
A smile always adorning her face,
A challenge to both age and adversity
She challenges challenges
Daring to stand upright for the cause
She believes in, that is graceful Dr.Nishi.
Come an opportunity to work
And here comes a meticulous service
Perfectionist is her other name
And elegance her other self
That is Seema Bawle
A famous anchor of township
Rendering voice for many functions
I find in the rare conversation
As she holds the tools of
Humility and sincerity
That is you Kavita for me
Chemistry is in the air that she breaths in
Chemistry with us all that she expects
That is close friend Preeta for me
Who does Kamal in chemistry lessons
Loves me and scolds me for my own cause
Here is a preeta kamal
Where comes another?
Blend of Perfection and correctness
Is her trade mark
Working with meticulousness
Be relaxed with the work
That is assigned to Madhavai
Here is an ocean of knowledge
Who has the will to go on
Trials and tribulations
Would leave Shampa Bose-a bit shaken,
But she revives with zeal.

With a sense of humour rare
Works with no tantrums loud
And seeks no attention even in his victories
That is Anil Jha
Ocean deep and sea vast is her depth

Skilled at craft
A wonderful painter
What not she is
An amalgamation of versatility
That is Shrabani Saha I know of

Silence with sincerity
Solemn and calm

I have a spl place for her in my heart

A word of advice for Shravan

Chay ho to dasrath ki hath ke chay jaise
Pyar se pilathe the eke k ko

I feel safe there
Thank you all for everything once again

I feel safe there
Thank you all for everything once again

On the Path of Renovation
(Skit, Written for Primary school Students, with a call for realization about the dire consequences of Global Warming)
During the process of creation, nature in her best mood,had created Earth showering her with her bounties:
(FLASH BACK OF CREATION)
Nature : Now I shall place my heart and soul to this creation. Blue and green that I shall paint upon this creation. Life is the blessing that I shall bestow upon her.
Earth : (looking at herself) I am the bundle of joy
shaping from the smart hands of nature,
I gloom with glory unlimited.
My hills have lustrous hue of green.
My skies and seas are in tinges of blue.
The song of chirping birds complement with the sweetness of the sublime
whistles of wind seem to resound with sound of nature.
I am adorned with the blanket of greenery in blue
upon me house beings in harmony.
Mankind is manifested as my love.
( Earth and Nature dancing ) Years rolled by ----------------
Home of a family:
Diwali is here again
lights are here,
lights are there
lights to lighten everywhere. (Earth and nature enter)
How beautiful those lamps look.
They seem to add beauty to my night.
Mankind, I love thee for this.
Nature : Marvellous indeed !
HOME
Child : Papa, take this cracker, lets burn it.
Papa : OK, lets go out, into the open and burn the bomb in the air.
Child : These fountain sparkles of crackers will look grand.
Mom : I shall join you shortly,
only after your burning of crackers.
Child : But why mom? Will you not join us for burning these crackers?
Papa : No baby, smoke that surges out will be suffocating for her.
( EARTH AND NATURE ENTER )
Earth : Why do I feel heavy, nature?
I seem to grasp for breath.
Nature : Look what your mankind is doing? They burn crackers which emit toxins.
Earth : It seems too warm here and why are they not letting the heat out?
Nature : Lots of gases are there, Earth, trapping the heat and light. So your temperature has taken a sudden
leap.
Earth : Why nature why? You had planned it all so well. What went wrong then?
Nature : Look again, that will explain things---
(HOME)
Papa : Its Diwali. So lets buy some new things for the house.
Child : We want separate A.C.’s in our rooms.
Mom : I need a new fridge for my kitchen.
Papa : O.K. then let me place the order. (on his cell) —Please book a fridge and A.C. for me.
Nature : How compassionately did I nurture the humans,
Lovingly did I offer my bounties
but callously did humans treat my offer.
(SHOW ALL POLLUTIONS INCLUDING VEHICLES AND FACTORIS)-----------------
(DEVILS ENTER)
Ha!Ha! I shall tempt the mankind with comforts
and chaos that I shall stir all around.
Here I raise the temperature
and here go all your ice caps melting.
Humans with high hopes to have them all,
A.C. and fridge and motor car,
Possess they shall and perish they all.
Earth: Oh! Devil what pleasure thou get in hunting me?
See how hot and humid it has become!
I will be washed away by the smoke and smog.
COPENHAGEN SUMMIT
Each one trying to speak, no one listens. Symbolically tug of war will be shown. With string and churn (UN) the churning goes on. They just throw the churn string and walk away. One country does not know what to do. Seeing everyone has gone it also leaves.
NATURE LOOKS ON
Earth : Oh no! What’s happening there? Nature, my protector, will you be a silent spectator?
Look at the progeny we have created. How much of the toxins will they produce?
Nature : You are the symbol of patience and understanding. But how long, Earth? How long? Our ailment has begun. We have to show our reaction. Man must know what they are up to.
Earth : Look around oh mother. Why have they become so foolish to cause their own destruction?
EARTH LAMENTING ENTRY OF ANGEL
Angel : Cry not my dear earth .Way we will surely find a way.
Earth : O messenger of the Lord, render a helping hand. Revive the mankind from this mess.
Nature : Look at that coughing mother.
Angel : Yes my dear. There are ways which we shall presently explore.
Earth : Mankind will revive if they realize their mistake.
Angel : They will my dear Earth (Runs her magic wand).
Nature : Yes angel you are right. Look at them using solar energy to produce electricity.
Angel : They will improve! fossil fuels will now be replaced by renewable source of energy.
Earth : At last thank you angel let things improve for better.
Nature : You see man will now realize and sustain their development.
Earth : Yes development must not stop. They have to find alternative sources of energy which nature has
given in abundance.
Nature : Yes, Yes, earth, they are using it. Look how they are using compost and other biodegradable materials to produce energy?
Earth : They seem to have come to know how much these plastics were chocking me. See they have minimized the use of it.
Angel : Man has now understood, they need to work together, co-operate and think collectively for betterment.
Earth : Your magic wand has done wonders my dear angel.
Nature : Once again I feel the flush of energy within me.
Earth : It’s your energy and vitality that enthuses me.
Let me be adorned again by your loving hands, Nature, with the kindness of angel.
Shall I be blessed with life once again?
Nature : Man and machine will be the blend of development
and man and nature will be the nurturing forces.
Man has to find out methods
which I have already bestowed on earth.
And they shall come to you for all their need.
Earth : They are my children after all. They have to come to me in their dire need.
Nature : Mother Earth is why they call thy!
That surely is how they will treat you.
Angel : Blessed are the creatures on earth
well planned has nature prepared it all.
Take care of your mother for
she is the ultimate mother of thy all.
Care is what we expected of you all
grow all of you, certainly
take all that she has,
remember mankind, you have not inherited this planet from your forefathers
you have simply borrowed it from your children.
Let your children be grateful to you for a healthy, hearty and happy mother earth.

Glory of Service
(A Skit that was written for Annual Function, enacted by Preparatory children)
As the process of creation is progressing.........
The sun god with all his glory, shines upon the hills, the valleys...... spreading his radiance
all over.
The creation continues....
There is water, the basic need of life There is fire, the immense source of energy The progress of creation is still on......
Now ... it's now the turn of living beings'
The sun smiled gently and there appeared the vegetation with their green and colourful hue!
They began to bloom cheerfully as they spread over hills and valleys.
The gracious gaze of the sun brought about the creation of glad and gleeful animals, they
too wore the hues of different colours.
The compassionate look of sun resulted in colorful collection of flowers on the hills and
valleys
And his soberness led to create the magic of white as serene birds.
White? Why white? Why aren't we blessed with the bliss of colours?
The birds asked god
Sun: Oh issues of life , do not lament
If it's colour that you wish, then colour that you shall get
Have this magic brush and colour your costumes as you wish.
Who shall take the lead?
P.c- oh my dear lord permit me to put
art and artistry upon the costume of your creation!
Sun- thy wish prevails oh, peacock, here ,take this magic brush to mix colours upon my creations.
PC: thank you oh lord for the trust you entrusted upon me here I begin the noble job
And who comes to me the first?
Crow: Cou! Cou! I am the crow come to thee to bargain for the black
Here goes the magic of the brush to turn the colour of your bare back and bosom, black is
the colour you wanted and black is what you are wearing now.
Duck-1 am the duck who wades in the water, can I have a brown upon my back and a
brown upon my neck?
p.c- Brown is the colour you bid for and brown shall you be adorned with.
Now where upon shall I wield my magic brush?
Pigeon is my pet name pally peacock! Would you just pat upon my body and wings with droplets of black upon my white?
P.C- your wish my pal is my command
And now you shall have spots of black upon your white and all over body.
Cock- oh my buddy brother, this humble cock pleads for nothing but a tinge of red. Tinge of red is all that I ask for and that I want it upon my tail.
P.C- Tinge of red and that’s all? Here is my magic brush touching with tinges of red upon your tail
Parrot- Wow! Wow! Red is the colour of my choice,
but that upon my beak,
and green upon my body all over.
Peacock dear please paint this parrot as he wishes
P.C- Why not adorable parrot? You are my bosom buddy,
Here is a trace of red upon your beak
And a fill of green upon your figure full.
Weaver bird- oh, oh do not leave me behind!
For weaving the nest I was delayed.
Yearning for yellow I come this far
And yellow is the colour I want upon my plumage
P.C- Have a splash of yellow this way and that way,
Turning you into a fellow of yellow
Now, that is a wonderful job have I done
Let me now have some designs drawn with colours upon this body of mine,
Oh no! Oh no! Where have all the colours gone?
Magic brush; lend me some colours as I too need some splendor upon my body white.
But alas! No colours, no colours!
Elephant: oh Poor peacock, please! What happened? Tell me the reason for thy grief.
P.C- elegant elephant, don’t you see this magic brush?
I coloured my comrades all;
Happy and gay are they all
Have I no right to be the same?
There are no more the colours to render
And it’s nothing but colours that I want to bathe in
And it’s colours that will make me merry!
Elephant: oh peacock dear aren’t you aware of yourself?
Look at thy body, oh pious peacock
How much of colours have you put on!
You are red at the rear
And blue at the bottom
And a green here and a grey there
How graceful do you look!
P.C- oh my! Oh my! Really! Really!
How ignorant am I!
Gracing them graciously
Gathering that I did a lot of colours!
Generously that I gave away colours
Picking up colours permanent upon myself.
How pretty is my plumage!
And splendidly my tails spread!
(Peacocks dance after thunder and lightning)
Red are the roses that bloom in thy heart,
Orange is the colour of the setting sun
Yellow is the colour of the daffodils
Green is the colour of the summer’s sky,
A drop of indigo makes white colour bright
Violet is a flower that is small and shy
And rainbow is the wonder of wonder all!
Hail the creator’s with a hymn
Give a little from your bounty
And there, you get your reward great!
The beauty of creation is so special
If you act as an arm for service,
you find yourself served manifolds in His glory!
