31st December 2017,Kalanki Time

Berha Garag ho tera,the stage actor kept on pronouncing the sentence,the whole stage with full of audiences ,nobody protested about the issue depicted in one act and started enjoyed.The halloween songs with shadows,the smells of perfume,the comic actors with gesture exposition and the beautiful location , where I used to travel compel rethink more and more and somebody knocking about some doctrines with a new goggle creates sensation in me,the songs of Aruna Lama , with lyrical images phohor sal khusi fatyo  started giving me the blockade sense in nerves.


I was a crazy being and the demarcation line of sanity made me eager to know nothing.Again there was the announcement of convocation day in Nepal by a man with grey suit and mobile near the Department who kept on chating about the preparation and schedule,ofcourse schedule of examination and winter vacation and discuss about reviews around made him tiresome but still Gangajal of Gangotri helps him to provide the lecture of Toxicity,really the world gonna narrow,the mass hysteria named book collection work still there ,the young man of seventy smiled at him showing his library and I was voiceless.

Somebody was presenting the articles and indexes in Library I started to be non maniac once but still the 8 oclock alarm of 31 December of 2017 makes me alert as I have to resend the message to my friends about New Year 20`18,somebody sang the song ,mera ye prem patra parhkar tum naraj na hona,the mind got the diverted to the word images in my bheja which was sauted and fried with the jokes the young man of 50 start in group again I start communicating what was nonesense as my lips evoked the sense of happiness in winter mood of December last.

One can not forget the valuable things of box named TV or Kora Kagaj named book and song of James Blunt ,you are beautiful in IPhone make me overwhelmed ,the morning diet of hot lemon makes me so refreshing and I start suscribing series of you tube vines.The beautiful location of rainbow and the comic and graphic images in animated world about myth makes me curious when the bold sound of Powerpoint and imagery items start singing song of oral colors ,your idea bro and the tune in youtubes are terrible sense of obligation start knocking my heartbeat which is irritating.

Hot lemon beverages can be very soothing, particularly when you aren’t feeling well. The hot water and steam can relax and soothe a sore throat. Lemon is high in vitamin C, which may help boost your immune system. There are a variety of natural ingredients you can add to hot lemon beverages for additional health benefits. A few of the most popular are honey, ginger, and cinnamon. Honey can soothe a sore throat, ginger may help loosen chest congestion, and the aroma of cinnamon can help open up clogged sinuses.

The laptop with a named keyboard with out cover still mocks at my identity which is still matter to be searched and border of mental images to locality and doctrines of master to Inside narratives still sings song of free bird which has health pile of  pandora box named Library Baha and I just feel the magical touch of Shilpi Hotel there ,the sound image of zigzag painting nearby the Pashupatinath on the way to Gaushala Dharmashala makes a sound of welcome and I just feel happy new year 2018 to all.

Local Chicken in Winter

Buini sanchai,ke kamale aaunubhako thiyo,asked the lady near the door,the eyes with question engulfed my body posture and started making a sense of belatedness as it was evening.I was very late to reach the home,she was short in height and was the proficient in rural language to welcome guest I noticed she prepared the meal in such manner I just loved and noted down the recipe when she kept on showing the items available in her kitchen and backyard garden,and nearby green grocery .


Masu bhanepachhi,local khukurako bhanepchi mitho hunchhha,I realized her intension of having local chicken roasted souted at home and I loved she explained ,chhhya chhhya chhya,kasto phohor pasalko khana ta,she was right she was good at everything ,perfect at cooking,cleaning and welcoming guests .Hernus buini,she started her narratives from her old age and my mind became more active to listen her tone of speaking ,she dealt about her bakra,kukhura and her best food recipes.She started cooking and I just made a list of ingredients in my notebook.

2.5 cups boneless local chicken, cooked and shredded 1 small onion, chopped 1 small tomato, chopped 2-3 red or green chili, chopped 5-6 cilantro leaves, chopped 1 tablespoon oil 1.5 teaspoon cumin powder 1 teaspoon chili powder (skip this if you like mild flavor) 3 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice  salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste  .

– In a bowl combine chicken, onion, tomato, chili – In a small bowl, mix oil, cumin powder, chili powder and lemon juice. – Pour it over chicken mixture then add cilantro leaves. – Adjust seasonings and leave it in the refrigerator covered for about 30 minutes so it marinates better. 


Obviously,people love local chicken during winter as  the protein in chicken lends itself to muscle growth and development, and help support a healthy body weight and aid weight loss. Chicken soup, chicken stew, chicken chili, chicken breast on salad…chicken in almost any form is great for your health.

Dhakalthok 'Home

Dhakalthok Home is very beautiful,a memo of our grandfather who spent his life there till he died and we celebrate Dhakalthok home as temple,a home where all relatives gather seeing grandfather and grandmom and discuss about the life span.Everybody knows everybody else, their family, and their ancestors. Often the communities are interlinked by marriage too.Anyway the home is where the relatives stand together and have the enjoyment of being together.

Home has greatest value in life because it has the link to the memory we have in life and celebration of lifestyle is matter of prestidge too.With relatives, you also have the advantage of knowing a lot about your caregiver's past and personal habits.One of the things that most worries parents who use other forms of care is that the "strangers" who watch and nurture their children all day long will teach them the caregiver's own set of values, which may or may not complement what kids are being taught at home.

  As a family we spend most of the day preparing the house by cleaning and decorating it before the evening party begins. The evening party is a welcomed excuse for family and friends to come together, enjoy a varied and plentiful selection of flavor some dishes and dance the night away. The house becomes a beacon of light and merriment full of laughter, music and fireworks that mark the celebration,there is a broad variety of different dishes! It’s just that, at the end of the day, they end up back at their Dal Bhat,a huge load of rice and lentils hauled up the hill on your back is more than enough.

I like listening to ghost stories and I wanted to get to know a bit more about our culture. One of the stories granny told us about was this parade of floating fire balls. For example this would happen when someone dies,the experience difficulty expressing their thoughts, feelings, and experiences and to externalize their oppressive experiences.There are many more things we gathered to hear from our granny whose unclear voice presents with gesture everyday there.My granny and her Dhakalthok home has lots of narratives which are concealed and unleashed till now which I love when she suggests the ideas fluently with her smile.

Maya Di ,A Hidden Star

I had been consulting my Maya didi for multiple stories and she starts her story of God Shivaji ,the katha of Lord Shiva and her fasting during festivals.It is  really interesting to hear her social works around Bhaktapur areas and her extreme dedication to locality,she spent her most of the time in family settings,business and promotion of womanhood nearby and I just love her pictures associating about her personal life .

I do not remember her ever saying that something was delicious, or licking her fingers after scraping something tasty from the bottom of the pan. She made no effort to teach my sister or me to cook. In the name of self-sufficiency, we once included a knitting pattern on the centre spread and were completely taken aback when the phone started ringing and women kept ordering more copies of the pattern. But cooking, in our minds, was wholly frivolous and politically dangerous, an activity that represented everything we were trying to change.

She kept on narrating west Nepal she spent and her journey with kids and I love the narration ,her stories of Mugling food items,bus services,Ambukhairani Stops and the business part of west Nepal were informative as they gave the ideas to visit those areas in need.At the age of fourteen she got married and kept on doing business for family and still she stands as local leader in Bhaktapur.She has deliberate skills of livelihood and earning at home based jobs and I loved her daily guidance.

Her narrative  forces you to delve into the specific emotions tied to a particular event, giving you a chance to revisit strong feelings. Her each word about an important event also helps you recall even the minute details, ensuring that you will remember it for years to come.You love sisterhood and enjoy your life fully.

Lazy Bone Laxmi

The picture is taken by hubby in Syangja home,I just love the picture  as it is the best.I was just cleaning the dishes, he clicked on my agreement.Oh my god, in the cold morning of winter you are trying to work very lazily and laziness symbolizes you much.You are born lazy ,work lazily and derive the name lazy everywhere.You feel ,your are icon of lazy and you keep on clicking the days throughout the entire details like comments in facebook,you know your own laziness is your archetypal defination and camera state with you.You are the maniac throughout the life and the moments of such comments make you feel you are being more lethargic day by day.

I remember my childhood days how we spent most of the time teasing teachers in class and laughed too much.The days of celebration of teachers day came and we start commenting about lazy teachers in classes how much they sleep ,our focus was on the gesture they had rather than the teaching lesson and our curriculumn was based on lecture .We kept on making our teachers more active by commenting them lazy and keeping books closed all the time and rather enjoyed chat ,chutney and other tasty items in a corner.When my teachers start lessons of victim I felt they are voice and they define themselves for victimized as narration stands for voices from various areas of humanity,human history stands for human beings to corelate the incidents in newer ways.

The enjoyment of commenting is a long history.I got realization when critical reading came as the major focus  in my curriculumn of Bachelor third level as defined Education Ministery of Nepal ,I realized why we should comment and the ways to comment about major texts of the English,it was English which I had to define in new ways and I kept on focusing on colors and pictures but the youtube vidoes,wikipedia and google made me more packed in the runway of the books mandala around me.I remember a book collector in college time whose house became the book house till his death and  condolence letters about his death in facebook  consists of book collector rather than a status of a teacher.

There are many stories of Lazy bone and food item make one lazy too.When my defination of being lazy,maniac and hatti starts I start clicking pictures and keep on sorting out the best out to upload everyday after cropping,editing and shadowing with the exact location I get on the targetted areas of facebook  and the interest of being defined work in facebook when 75 comments occur and I feel the best feeling .One my uncle aged of 75 is seriously sick and I just conveyed the message to needy one and the commentator started commenting you are interfering,so sometimes laziness benefits much as you disturb none .

A valid reason of being lazy is not defined but I know the dictionary does not regard it as a positive term and the minute details help nothing and textual interpretation of the terminology fails when barrier of language work too much to me.I am a non proficient English speaker tried to state what does the lazy mean but still the problem exists in my dictionary of defining myself.I kept on playing with laoptop and musical instruments as they state my status much.

The monotonus lectures about social inclusion and revoltuions around the world,each header and footer in Kantipur Newspaper,the warm day of Kirtipur and the hot tea cup has been Lazy bone Laxmi day by day and still the black fonts with 12 sized written in Times New Roman in any blog create a questionable blanket of image of me and I just keep on inserting the input and output resolves nothing,the vacant eyes of the cat near me for food ,the pamerlo on the sack of premimum Basmati rice and the bed made of Salla kath has been commenting ,you are lazy bone Laxmi.

Thuthuno

Jab ham khate hai ,to wo khana hamare muh se hote huye amasay tak pahuchti hai,the science teacher demonstrates many things about our systems in body, he starts with his linking statement ,the mouth is the beginning of the digestive tract. In fact, digestion starts here as soon as you take the first bite of a meal. Chewing breaks the food into pieces that are more easily digested, while saliva  mixes with food to begin the process of breaking it down into a form your body can absorb and use.The stomach is a sac-like organ with strong muscular walls. In addition to holding the food, it's also a mixer and grinder. The stomach secretes acid and powerful enzymes that continue the process of breaking down the food. When it leaves the stomach, food is the consistency of a liquid or paste. From there the food moves to the small intestine, from where to from the stomach is broken down even further with the help of juices produced by three important organs: the pancreas, liver, and gall bladder.These organs produce special  digestive  juices that help your body absorb all the vitamins and nutrients from the food you eat.

The science  teacher keeps on explaining and I keep on moving from first bench to second bench with girls and he orders me to stand in bench for my  childish movement.The lesson finishes and  there comes Brajesh Kumar Singh , a teacher from Bihar who describes the incident of Berlin with gesture and the incident of having cows with thutuno on the road of Lucknow-Patna area ,I love  the phrase ,hamare yaha guamataye to thutuno nikalte huye sadak lucknow ke sadak pe ghumti rahtee hai ,lekin Berlin mai kuchh nahi hai, the sense of dislocatedness starts with the available facilities there in Berlin where there is no loadshedding ,no cows on the road disturbing traffic, no late comers in office like in India.The best term thutuno is the suitable to my option for reading a lot of life experiences at home.

Being a part of rural community , I always heard the term thutuno,comic serials like Meri Bassei on Nepal Television  in weekends  which always had a package of such rural terminologies which I love  to oserve as they are presented with   bodily expression.An old woman scolding a daughter ,hera na tesko thutuno, quite interesting when it states the facial expression  of a person in rural terminologies.Although used in anger ,this term has the significance as it relates with cow too when a writer refers to thutuno of Gaumata in his Hindi text about Berlin.Although expressed in anger to humiliate someone or and referring ironical status of someone in your life ,this term plays a base to exaggerate the gesture.

Whole day , I have been serfing about Graphic narratives and Comic narratives but the expression as new version to lament something or express new version of truth remains a matter of question.A full text with words ,pictures and gestural version of reality has lot of spices to deal in life and comic representation of characters carry lots of unsound message which remains openended until the lock is broken with a newer version of key and denoting the meaning out of controversy carries lots of contradictory meanings prevalent in terms like thutuno.

I heard some body running after creole version of language with the network of Lacan,Bloom,Freud and Nussabum and biopolitics through , which the speed horse named language as the thutono is tied at the body of philosophy ,so called status  of border with identity politics from frontier to margin,binary terms to monolithic expression or versatile definition of the confused ,anarchy of archetype version of terms used in oral and written version to interrelate with typography to expressibility ,narrativeness to visual representaion and mythic dimension of the advance technique everything play with terms and I make a pickle of thutuno ,with the salt of rural language,variety of languages like Nepali,Hindi and Urdu and try to focus like a foolish  in play of falsehood.

Thutuno , a term for years have been confusing a lot  and I just keep on gazing in field whether like the cow my expression too has the similarities ,is the difference  in fact works as border for similarity or just an identical representation of the language signifiers which has the chains in philosophy to lyrical words,visual world and sound analysis.

Love Song

Purano dunga pani ko chal
par garu kasari
uni chin pari tarera launa
bhetu ma kasari
ho...bhetu ma kasari
purano dunga.....

bidhi le yesto anyaye gari
jhukyayo malai
ho..bidhi le yesto anyaye gari
jhukyayo malai
eutai mutu dui tukra pari
chutyayo malai
charkidai gayo bichod ko ghau
sahu ma kasari
ho....sahu ma kasari
purano dunga....

priyesi bina yo jindagani
k chalna sakcha ra
ho....priyesi bina yo jindagani
k chalna sakcha ra ho
huri ko samu aasha ko jyoti
k balna sakcha ra
mali bina ko jangali phul jhai
phulu ma kasari
ho...phulu ma kasari
purano dunga.... 

The song by Karna Das has lots of stories in it and I love the lyrics most ,standing nearby Bhumahi river towads the forest I just start singing the song when I love to swim in this rivers.We girls just visit the forest areas nearby Bhuamahi river where we just play with water resource and the beautiful location for leisure time has lots of significance in my life.At the moment you love Karnadas nearby you in mobile apps singing the songs of love.

The silence speed of Bhumahi River ,the loud trees with their remarks on the waterflow of Bhumahi river ,the silent voice of temple Baba Bardgoria with speakers like green leaves of forest with smiles and the rhythemic water flow keeps on making me crazy on the sites of Bhuamhi river.I just become nostalgic when a bird knocks my heart to deal with the tiny fish in riverside and speed of grass like a green blanket to relate the song of love by Karndas.The commentary given by the local insects with the mild voice about the forest to create a graphic novel through visual package makes me more crazy day by day.Sometimes the book of Science of Grade Ten helped me too to sleep alone in the sites of Tharha Ban from Bhumahi river and I woke up during evening time and found nobody there and returned home. 

Of course love song relate us with our love life and we keep on loving our self and our  this self is concerned in beings around us and we try to  be superb in our  own eyes and the story keeps on changing due to space and time and we get the serial events in return and singer like Karnadas resembles our heart as if  they analyze our minds.We start narrating our love stories in unlimited version and the dumbness of ethics state our mind as if we are statue at the margin line of time and the changes highlights our lyrics of love through blank spaces of our life which creates sensation all the time.

The confusion of being loved never ends as the inputs of mind, facebook and text keep on dwelling with the pictorial edition of nature in our heart ,we keep on playing with mute sound of the heartbeat locating our self in visual images around and try to inherit the output which is non sense of what is called sanity in our self .So ,different representations of love song can bee seen in diverse form but the exactness is lost in my conscious mind and I just remember the tree near to Tharha Ban on the way to Bhumahi River which questions me why you gets lost all the time in the realm of insanity.

Batauli Bajar And Batuk Chukauni

Nani Ghar Timro Katna ho ni, asked the old man behind me .I just told I lived in Sukhanagar ,area of Batauli, he smiled at me and started narrating his past experiences.He was from Arghakhachi District and used to come to Khasyauli area to collect salt on foot ,he described every incident how he with friends had to arrive in Batuali for basic needs on foot.I love the narrations about the roadsides up Butwal area from Arghakhachi and taste of batuk ,the dish with chutney he used to have during journey with friends as snacks there on the way to Batauli,  his details like the economy of Butwal centers around trade, services and industries,the old trading districts are Traffic Chowk, B P Chowk, Amarpath and Nepalgunj Road and besides modern shopping, a traditional form of market called Haat Bazar runs twice a week on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

It is really interesting when you travel the areas you stay and communicate with people on the bus during long journey like Kathmandu to Butwal ,so the old man had lots of experiences of doing shopping local areas of Butwal and his story related with Devdah, the most historical religious site of Nepal is situated 13 km east of Butwal and is known as the maternal home of lord Gautam Buddha,Gurung Dada because Gurungs were buried here and Siddha Baba Temple,which will grant devotees  their wishes and  who offer pigeons at the temple and development of Butwal as newly emerged urban area .

Anyway when he was dealing with different issues about Butwal I felt ,he was a live radio who had lots of stories of the city named Batyauli and I loved to note down .The description about Palpali Batuk I loved most and tried at home too.Batuk roti is made from black lentils (kalo maas) and I have written recipe to make batuk at home with chukauni.Palpa roadside travel from Pokhara to  Butwal makes me more happy to have the taste there and when momma prepares same food at home I just feel happy .I love the old friend from Arghakhachi who relate with me Butwal and Batuk on the way and started singing the song of Butwal,Arghakhanchi aaye butwal chhodera is song based on Nepali women’s great festival ‘Haritalika Teej’ directed by Gaurab Giri.

Dhukha kasta na gari
U meri kali auncha bhani
Kurichin meri huna baali

Arghakhanchi aaye butwal chhodera
Arghakhanchi aaye
Timi kamar bachako le
Maela geet gaye
Timi kamar bachako le
Maela geet gaye…………

After his song he sang on the way I just noted down every details of recipe about the food and started looking at him,he was very happy to demonstrate his ability to sing a song like a local bard and I felt his vocal chords were helping him due to his regular singing practice.All the passengers praised his voice and  I just typed down the recipe in hurry on my laptop .Whenever anyone starts narrating the incident of Batauli I just remember Batuk and the old man who still sings lyrics of  Butwal Arghakhachi .

Ingredients

• FOR BATUK:
• 1 cup mixed lentil (equal portion of black, red, green (mung), yellow lentil)
• 1 teaspoon ginger paste
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon corn starch
• 1 teaspoon cumin/coriander powder
• ¼ cup water
• Oil to deep fry the patties
• FOR CHUKAUNI:
• 1 cup plain yogurt

• ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
• ¼ teaspoon fenugreek seed
• 2 dried red chili
• ½ cup water
• 2 tablespoon oil

Instructions

1. For Batuk :
2. Soak the lentils overnight. I used four different types of lentil (Black, yellow, red and green (mung Dal)).
3. Blend the lentils with all the ingredients (doesn't have to be very fine consistency), add some water to make it easy to blend.
4. Heat oil in medium size pan.
5. In order to make the shape of the batuk , I used a small Ziploc bag. Make a ¼ inch hole at the end of the bag and release the batter in a small circular motion.
6. Deep fry it until golden brown.
7. For Chukauni:
8. Boil two medium size potatoes.
9. Cut into cube size.
10. In a medium size mixing bowl, add the potatoes, red onion (optional), 1 cup yogurt, salt , mustard powder, chili powder.
11. Heat 2 tablespoon of oil and saute fanugreek seed and dried red chili until it turns black in color and add turmeric powder to the oil before pouring it over the chukauni mixture.
12. Plain yogurt isn't sour here , you can always add few drops of lime juice but I like mine just the way it is
13. Add ¼ cup of water and mix it together. ( Adjust water accordingly, we don't want it to be super thick in consistency).
14. Adjust salt and chili to your taste.
15. Now the Batuk can either be dipped in chukauni for an hour or so before serving or just serve it as a side.

Chat of Sweet Potato in Winter

 

Today is eighteenth of November of  2017 .From two days I am feeling much cold.We love The winter season  is special as winter food is benefecial.The days are passed with orange ,hot tea and other salad items for me which are befecial to me and I love sweet potato chat .Shakarkandi Ki Chaat is slow roasted sweet potatoes over coals, peeled, cubed and topped with salt, spices and orange or lemon juice, all this the expert vendors do in minutes and serve it over a banana leaf or paper with toothpicks inserted in the sweet potatoes for convenient eating as you go about your business. The smoky aroma of coals mingled with cooked sweet potatoes and fresh citrus is very hard to resist as you walk by, and there really is no need to resist because this is as healthy a snack as one can wish for and keeps the tummy filled up for a long while.

Sweet potatoes contain Omega 3, fatty acids magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium and zinc and vitamins A, B, C, K and E.Sweet potato is considered as an excellent source of natural, health-promoting compounds known as beta-carotene and anthocyanin. Beta-carotene is known to reduce the risk of several chronic diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular diseases, age-related macular degeneration, and cataracts. Anthocyanin fights pigmentation and provides anti-inflammatory benefits to the skin. Vitamins A, B, and C have antioxidant properties that help in fighting against damage caused by free radicals

Recipe

2 medium-sized sweet potatoes

Half a lemon

Chaat Masala, to taste

Pre-heat oven to 200 degrees

Pierce the sweet  potatoes a few times to stop them exploding in the oven.  Roast for about 30-45 minutes – they should feel soft but not mushy when pierced with a knife.

Peel the sweet potatoes and cut into dice, sprinkle with masala and lemon juice and dig in.

The bhajan is going on .I am too busy with guest ,my mother has been busy with pundits here to worship God with lyrics and I love her being active in such rituals.Rudree Puja is a regular ritual at my home and God Shiva comes frequently in ritual area in the form of pictures and other holy items at home.

 

‘Rudri’ means ‘Shiva – the Benevolent’, ‘ the Destroyer of Evil’ and ‘Puja’ means that which is born out of fullness. Through this Puja one can aim for inner peace and fulfilment. In this Puja, Lord Shiva is worshipped in his Rudra form. The reason Rudri puja is done because the world is a play of energy: negative and positive. When we pray to Shiva – the Lord of transformation – the entire negative energy around us in form of disease, depression, and unhappiness gets transformed into peace, prosperity and joy. Then peace surrounds us in body, mind and soul.

This Pooja is performed with a crystal 'linga'. Each ancient mantra that is chanted gets absorbed in materials like curd, milk, ghee, honey etc. which are used as offerings in the Pooja. It is then offered to Lord Shiva with reverence, love and gratitude. Specially trained Pandits and Veda students from the Veda Agama (Vedic school) perform this special Pooja. The chanting of the mantras is so pure and meditative that it takes one to a different plane.

An offering called ‘rudri’ is made to Lord Shiva. Devotees need to pay the fees for the size of ‘rudri’ they wanted to perform. The priest performs it at any shrine to Lord Shiva or at the home of a devotee. ‘Rudri’ is offering o Devotees make additional offerings of fruits, sweets and other food items including coins or banknotes.

 Devotees also make offerings of lakh batti, lighting of one hundred thousand (125,000) wicks soaked in oil in addition to the regular offering for achieving a special wish.My mom keeps on busy in such ritual as her life has been scheduled to such programs.As an observer I keep on clicking her photoes only.I love all my relatives celebrating with her.

 

Ye Dosti Ham Nahi Chhorenge

Yeh dosti hum nahin todenge
Todenge dam magar tera saath na chhodenge...
Ae meri jeet teri jeet, teri haar meri haar
Sun ae mere yaar
Tera gham mera gham, meri jaan teri jaan
Aisa apna pyaar

Jaan pe bhi khelenge, tere liye le lenge
Jaan pe bhi khelenge, tere liye le lenge
Sab se dushmani

Yeh dosti hum nahin todenge

Todenge dam magar
Tera saath na chhodenge

Logon ko aate hain do nazar hum magar
Dekho do nahin
Arre ho judaa ya khafa ae khuda hai dua
Aisa ho nahin

Khaana peena saath hai
Marna jeena saath hai

Khaana peena saath hai
Marna jeena saath hai

Saari zindagi
Yeh dosti hum nahin todenge
Todenge dam magar tera saath na chhodenge... 

The song on radio is going on .I am standing at Nehru Place Metro Station ,and the friends have been making a program to visit Rajghat area of Delhi,I know the company will be very interesting but the meeting is interesting in itself ,the movie time discussion in Satyam will be another charm in Delhi and the movies of friendship I love most.

I love making friends ,I keep on chating in whatspp and facebook about the daily schedules and conversations warm up in input of the visuals sharing to eachother,hangout also helps a lot but viber has been an extra benefit to communicate during leisure time.

Friends are people we love to spend time with. They give us company when we are lonely, support us unconditionally and accept us despite our shortcomings.Friendships, in turn, prove their preciousness with time. When we graduate from high school, college and are scattered around the globe, our best friends are the ones who stick.

Most times the friendships that struggle to come together are the most genuine ones. This struggle I believe comes because most times that person is the mirror of us and it is hard to accept the friendship without judgment.

We need to have intimate, enduring bonds; we need to be able to confide; we need to feel that we belong; we need to be able to get support, and just as important for happiness, to give support.

There is a difference, however, between a large network of friends and a tribe. While friendships can be numerous and range from the near-familial relationship to the pleasant acquaintance, a tribe is typically a smaller group comprised of those friends who are closest to you. A tribe consists of those friends with whom you feel most comfortable, most at ease, and most at home.  

People who are positive and motivated and who lift up those around them are worth hanging on to. I have one friend who never fails to smile when she sees me.As someone who considers her friendships as life-sustaining as water, it’s been difficult to take a hard look at the relationships I’ve cultivated through the decades and to realize, with a heavy heart, that they’re not all going to last.

Friendship is a crucial element in protecting our mental health. We need to talk to our friends and we want to listen when our friends want to talk to us. Our friends can keep us grounded and can help us get things in perspective. It is worth putting effort into maintaining our friendships and making new friends. Friends form one of the foundations of our ability to cope with the problems that life throws at us.

Krishna and Sudama were very close friends. God Krishna had made Sudama his friend when he was studying in the Ashram of Guru Sandipani. In the Ashram he met with a Brahman child and because of his simplicity he made him his friend. After the education in the Ashram God Krishna became the king of Dwarka. Sudama was a Brahman, so he accepted the work of a true Brahman. But his financial condition was not very good. He was very poor. He was so poor that he had to starve for many days in a month with his wife and his children.

One day he decided to go to Dwarkapuri to demand for some money from Shri Krishna because he did not bear the condition of his wife and of his children. So he went to Dwarkadham. When God Krishna heard this news he ran to welcome him in the situation in which he was. When God Krishna saw that his friend Sudama is very poor and is suffering from poverty, he did not hesitate to give his all kinds of facilities and made him very rich man. He did it without any sacrifice. He helped his friend because he was in a great need. That is why his friendship is famous in this age too.

Besides, there are several tales from the Old Testament and the New Testament about the value of friendship and how true friendship is a treasure to unearth. A noticeable point is that, both the versions make a difference between the two broad meanings of friendship- one is a mere acquaintance, the other is a more affectionate relation.

In the Old Testament, Abraham is called the “friend of God” because of the intimacy of his relations. God speaks to Moses face to face “as a man…unto his friend” (Ex 33:11). The romantic friendship of Ruth and Naomi, the devotion of the subordinate Hushai for David, or the mutual relation between David and Jonathan - the Old Testament is replete with these interesting tales of friends and friendship.

In the New Testament, the relationship between Jesus and his disciples clearly depicts how human friendship can constantly grow. From being teacher and disciple, to lord and servant their relationship finally grew to an unparalleled friendship.

The story of friendship is unlimited narration which has multiple spaces to deal and the analysis becomes interesting when comments passed on facebook and other multimedia sites we use in groups to interrelate eachother everyday and the communication remains under ,ye dosti ham nahi chhorenge.
