26/11 : Three Years Back We failed !

" Three years back we failed

And yet we have recovered not;

Almost denied ourselves justice

We mastered self-defeating logic !

But those tears we shed continue

Still making us look miserable,

As we lost our own people

Bargaining them away though !

Shall ever we rise for India ?

For the world shall we rise ?

Shall we rise for the humanity ?

Fed on eternity shall ever we ?

26/11 reminds us of burning

Fire that agents of darkness lit

On the throbbing Mumbai heart

Deeply hurt,burnt,anguished !

Three years have we but passed

How none knows better than we

The people,the world sees when

Despondent Arjun blows Devdatt !"

SANSKRIT SPEAKING UNION BILL IN MAURITIUS

" The Sanskrit Speaking Union Bill passed in Mauritius National Assembly in June,2012 is a great event in recent history of Sanskrit outside India.I must congratulate all those behind this,conceiving the idea and seeing it through the national body.

What I find now is that Sanskrit has shown not only her infinite longevity,but also her exuberant liveliness and innovative character lending ideas and idioms to the world at large !

I shall keenly look forward to see that this is not merely a political statement but it works out to be a real issue to raise a language to lead a people to greater good and cultural values of perennial nature.

Sanskrit I would like to see as a global lingua franca growing from strength to strength ! "
