गुम कही विकास की राह - मैहर

Image
मैहर शहर इतना छोटा है की बीस मिनट होते होते एक चक्कर मारा जा सकता है. गिनती के गिने चुने मोहल्ले है, कुछ बाजार है. मेरा मानना है की मैहर में भारत की छवि देखी जा सकती है. आज भी देश की सत्तर प्रतिशत जनता गाओ में ही रहती है. ढांचा एक समान ही है. गाओ के बगल में एक छोटा क़स्बा है. गाओं से लोग कस्बों में अपनी जरूरतों को पूरा करने के लिए आते है. इसी से कस्बो का विकास भी होता है. कस्बों के लोग बड़े शहर से प्रेरणा लेते है और अपनी जरूरत पूरी करते है. कस्बे एक महत्वपूर्ण कड़ी है शहर और गाओं के बीच में. अगर कस्बे विकसित है तो ग्रामीण वासियों का शहर पलायन कम से कम होगा. इससे लोग अपनी ज़मीन और समाज से जुड़े रहेंगे. अब अगर मैहर की बात की जाए तो माँ शारदा का प्रशिद्ध मंदिर सबसे आगे होगा लोगों को ना केवल आध्यात्मिक शक्ति देने के लिए, बल्कि निरंतर रोज़गार बनाये रखने के लिए. यहाँ दूसरे शहरो से, अन्य कस्बो और गाओं से लोग दर्शन के लिए आते है तो   वे खाने, रहने अन्य चीज़ों के लिए खर्चा करते है. इससे यहाँ के लोग कमा लेते है. जितनी ज्यादा सुविधा इन बाज़ारों को दी जाए, जितना ज्यादा साफ सुथरा मैहर हो, जि...

Marital Rape

Rape is an act of sexual harassment. It is non-consensual in nature. There is the usage of force. It is self-degrading and disrespectful as the victim’s autonomy is breached and he/she is left with guilt which is depressing and demotivating in nature. There is growing sensitivity around the news of rape in the country which is a good sign. Due to the rise of social media and the digital age, the acts which were hitherto hidden earlier under the name of shame is now brought forward. This, in turn, acts as a great deterrence and give more sensitivity to the public about the issue and its aftereffect on the lives of the victims. However, there is also a darker side of it which is the rape of a minor child & the not-so-talked-about marital rapes. Marriage legalizes sexual intercourse between two individual. However, the factor of mutual consent is the least spoken. If the second spouse is not willing to engage in sexual pleasure, the first spouse ideally should submit to the deci...

'He' Who should not be named

When the mosque was attacked in New Zealand, one thing that is made clear by the New Zealand Prime Minister is that they will never know who the attacker was. She made it clear that history will never make him popular and they didn’t even take his name in their parliament. In a way, she refused to name the Voldemort. What she went on to talk about is solidarity that they all stand united in this tragic moment of their history. Taking this cue forward and into the digital media, we see how people easily get offended from a distant line, some comment, some picture that nobody cares about, that nobody even thought about until unless we decided to share it, make it mainstream and publically condemn it. It then creates a cycle, a domino effect and it gets on to create a tsunami out of it. The idea which was distant is given a shape and we remain innocent at one corner of the earth. There are videos of hate comments against some other religion, some group, some race, and some even...

5G technology

South Korea recently launched 5G technology nation-wide. The U.S. followed in second. The trials in India will soon begin. 5G technology is the next version of the 4G technology which we saw in India. It has higher latency, higher data per second can be provided with the help of it. It is almost 100 times faster than 4G technology. In a sense, it has revolutionary benefits in nearly all the fields, such as: > Education – primary, secondary and tertiary education can be improvised using the technology. It will bring higher effectiveness in research & development. More interactive sessions can help students in grasping the concepts adding on with the provision of virtual and the augmented reality. > Health – recently a doctor operated a patient in Gujarat with the help of a robot, when he was away in another town. Thus the application in the distance operation and monitoring of the patients could seriously enhance the health parameters in the country. In this respect...

Generic medicines

Generic medicines are the cheaper version of the same biological configuration which is available in the market once the patent date expires for the company who had done research on its original form and brought it to the market. Since the company has to do a lot of investment in research, they make a profit out of selling the original version. The idea of the generic medicine is to avail the drugs to the public at the affordable rate so that it is widely available so that the needy ones get the benefit from it. The medical practitioners are approached by various companies’ Medical representatives for the promotion of their brand. They present various schemes to lure the practitioners in selling their brand in comparison to the generic drugs. These private companies are given monthly and yearly targets which are aggressive and they, in turn, push down the line considering the medical line just another market. Considering the income dynamics of the people of the country, it is mor...

रेजोनेंस हो तभी

'तुम मेरे एक मित्र के अच्छे दोस्त हो सकते हो', उसने लिखके मैसेज भेज दिया अपने एक मित्र को. दोनों शायद अलग ट्रेनों में बैठे थे और अलग-अलग दिशा की ओर बढ़ रहे थे  एक नया गाना सुन रहा था. अपने एक करीब करीबी को भेजा तो उसने कहा की, 'कहा से ढूढ़ लेते हो ऐसे गाने'.. वही गाना उसने मित्र को भी भेजा, उसने कुछ प्रतिक्रिया नही की. अच्छा नही लगा होगा, या फिर गानो का शौख ना हो, मेरे जैसे.. क्या पता  क्या नियम है पहचान लेने के, उन्हें जो हमसोच है, एक जैसा सोचते है. ऐसे तो अकेले तंग हो जायेंगे, या फिर सभी ऐसे ही है और बस दूसरों के साथ रहने की झूठी हसीं हस्ते है. की बस कुछ ही बदनसीब है. वो जब लाइब्रेरी के कमरे में आयी तो एक खुसबू हवा में छा गयी. उसने वही इत्र लगाया था, जिसे मैंने जामा मस्जिद के बाज़ार से खरीदा था, या ऐसा कहो की तीस रूपए की खुसबू उधार ली थी एक छोटी सी कांच की शीशी में. कुछ पसंद किया होगा दोनों ने ही.  क्या पसंद है, क्या पसंद नही है - ऐसे ही तो साथ बात है.. कुछ रेजोनेंस हो शायद, या फिर ख़ुशी ही रहे, शायद. ऐसे तो अकेले ही अच्छे. कोई भी हो. हां सारी बातों पे स...

Delhi sheher subah subah

Image
The idea was to catch the city - sheher half awake.  To watch the security guards exchanging their duties. One will now sit on the chair, the other will rot half of his day in his rat hole type rented home, along with fellas from his village. Their dull blue uniform although speak of discipline but as well of their wary state of mind To watch the street side solidarity, of the rickshaw wallas, cart pullers, street vendors and other homeless labor-class migrants. How they sleep together finding a place coated with soil. Does this sheher care for them?  There are old one with loose muscles and the young one with a tired thin body. They are the forgotten part of the nation whose manual work is exploited. They possess the skill of hardship, of working in tough situations, for long hours. They are the heroes. They are the fighters Mosquitoes don't bite them. Humidity and heat do not bother them. Thirst doesn't unsettle them. Hunger is their friend. What life T...

Beholders and goons

The current waves of news where we came across that MLA led mobs, or MLA himself is abusing government official is goon-ism and no social work. Yesterday, mud was poured on an engineer by the crowd led by the local MLA in Konkan region of Maharashtra. Maintenance of law and order in the region is an idea and a mental restraint on the public. There is a two-way trust between the public and the authority in command. If the equilibrium is disturbed, or say, the trust is broken, there will be deviance. The MLAs are the leaders of the region. Attacking government officials shows several behaviors of them which do not seem responsible. Are they frustrated and have exhausted all the legal ways to correct an incorrect situation?   If yes, this means that the system is not in their hand and there is a lot of mismanagement below them. This calls for course correction. If they are not doing it, it indicates their inefficiency in handling matters of their position. As a represen...

Monsoon thru the pane

They are here The clouds A bit late though Slight dark it is Quiet but vehicle honk As usual, dirty streets Unlimited buildings Humans Dogs Less chatter today They all are expecting To off the agony of sun a bit I sat beside the window To watch all the drama And not let it away To not miss it As I know I have fewer monsoons I wish to cherish them all The magic of rain Of blessings From up From thirst Heat And Anger Will you be here all day? Please Let the dust settle down Wet the window pane Make your sound Clean this city Calm the people Let children play Let me watch the monsoon thru the pane Rohit's other blogs

ICT/ E-Technology for farmers

Information and communication technology to farmers is related to linking the farmers together and as well with a central authority for addressing their concerns, imparting them useful information with respect to increasing their productivity in agriculture, several tools for managing agriculture in a better way, grievance redress and taking their feedbacks & action taking on the same. A number of initiatives have been taken by the government as it has launched significant mobile applications, launched the websites like Government e-marketplace for selling the products. This needs to be drilled down and more awareness needs to be spread so that the initiatives are successful in achieving their purposes. Besides, the government has to make sure that the implementation is close to expectation and authentic as well. Fake reports should not be generated in the name of development. Last five year India has changed its trajectory and moved closer in achieving the mission of e-gove...

नेता हमारे बल्लेबाज

Image
पिछले सप्ताह इंदौर से खबर आयी की स्थानीय नेता एक कारपोरेशन के व्यक्ति को क्रिकेट बल्ले से सरेआम पीटने की कोशिश करते है. वहा पे पुलिस की मौजूदगी थी. साथ ही साथ खचाखच भीड़. कई वीडियो निकल के आते है. उसके बाद कई  बुद्धिजीवी इस घटना की सोशल मीडिया पे निंदा करते है. हालांकि दूसरे दिन इन्हे बेल मिल गई और ये रिहा हो गए. चौका देने वाली बात ये थी की उनका स्वागत सम्पूर्ण हर्ष-उल्लास से किया गया, ओपन फायरिंग की गयी, ढ़ोल बजे, ठुमके लगे, तिलकोत्सब हुआ, नारियल फोड़ा... नेता जी का कहना है की उन्हें अपने इस बर्ताव का कोई खेद नही है. उन्होंने जनता की भलाई के लिए ही महेंद्र सिंह धोनी का रूप धारण किया. राज्य की पार्टी ने उन्हें इस बात पर पूरा समर्थन भी किया. अब सवाल ये है की क्या नेताओ के अलावा आम आदमी अगर ऐसा व्यवहार करता है, तो उसे भी ऐसे ही परोसा जायेगा? क्या इसका ये मतलब है की चाहे पुलिस मौजूद हो या नही, कोई भी व्यक्ति, कही भी अपनी मर्जी से, अपनी सोच शक्ति से किसी की धुनाई कर सकता है और वो जनता का आदर पाने योग्य रहेगा? अगर हां, तो हम सब को जंगल राज मुबारक हो और साथ ही साथ 'हर दिन के लिए दीपावल...
