ప్రియమైన మిత్రులారా ,

గుండె లోతులో నుంచి గుర్తు తెచ్చుకుందామా....

ఆ నాటి మన సంక్రాంతి సంతోషాలు

తెల తెల్ల వారు జామున కుర్రతనం జోరులో

వేసిన బోగి మంటల వెచ్చని జ్ఞాపకాలు !!!!

ముద్దు గుమ్మాలు .... ముంగిట వేసిన ముద్దోచే రంగుల..... ముగ్గులో గొబ్బియలు

డూ డూ బసవన్న చే గంగి రెడ్దుల చెప్పించే ..అమ్మ వారికీ , అయ్యా వారికీ ..జే జే లు

చేతికొచ్చిన పంటల దాన్యలతో సిరి సౌబాగ్యలు....

ఇంటికి వచ్చిన అల్లులు కు అందే మర్యాదలు

వంటింటిలో అరిసెలు , అటక ఫై సున్నుండలు , జేబులో జంతికలు ....తిన లెన్నని పిండివంటలు.

చాటు మాటున పెద్దలు వేసే కోడి పందాలు .....ఆకాశానికి పోటిగా పిల్లల వేసే గాలి పటాలు

హరిదాసుల గానాలు ....అడిగిన ప్రతి వారికీ... లేదనకుండా దక్కేను అన్న పానీయాలు

ఇలా ఎన్నని చెప్పిన ఆనందం తరుగని .....ఆ నాటి సంబరాల సంక్రాతి ....

కానీ...... నేడు లేదు...ఈ పండుగ రోజున .... రైతు మోములో కాంతి.

ఎందుకంటే

పల్లెటులే దేశానికి పట్టు కొమ్మలు అన్న బాపూజీ..... కలలు కన్నమన స్వరాజ్యం

టూ జి , త్రి జి అంటూ లెక్క లెన్నని కుంబ కోణాలకు ....

అవినీతి అక్రమాలకు అయితే సామ్రాజ్యం.

ప్రకృతి వైపరిత్యాలు , నకిలీ విత్తనాలు , రాజకీయ నాయకుల వాగ్దానాలు

అడుగడుగునా అన్న దాతను మోసం చేస్తూ క్రుంగ దీస్తూ ఉంటె ..

.

మట్టిని నమ్మిన రైతన ...బరువెక్కిన గుండెతో ...

అందరి నేరానికి తను ఉరి కంబం ఎక్కలిసివస్తుంది.

ఓ రైతన్న

ప్రతి రోజు వార్త పత్రికలో , టి వి చానలో వినిపించే నీ మరణ వార్త ...

ఈ జనానికి అలవాటు అయిపోయింది .

కానీ వెయ్యి కోట్లకు అధిపతి అయిన ...నీవు పండించే గింజ తినే బతకాలి అన్న సత్యం

మరిచిన వాళ్ళకి ....తినడానికి అన్నం దొరకని రోజున నీ విలువ తెలిసి వస్తుంది.

పరిస్థితి ఇలాగె కొనసాగితే .........నాకు తెలిసి అప్పటికి నీవు ఉండవు అని పిస్తుంది .

."జై కిసాన్ "అన్న లాల్ బహుదూర్ శాస్త్రి గారి ఆత్మ సాక్షి గ ...

నీ కోసం మా మనసు ఏదో చేయాలి అని తపిస్తుంది.

మేము సంక్రాతి పండు గ తిరిగి చేసుకో లేక పోయిన పర్లేదు ...

కానీ నీ జేవితం లో అశాంతి పోయి ...నీ మోమున కాంతి చూడాలి

అదే మా కందరికీ నిజమయిన సంక్రాతి !!!!!

తపనతో ,

శ్రీ తపన

కల్మషం ఎరుగని మనుషులకు , నీతి నిజయితలకు ప్రతికలు ..పల్లెటూలు....

ఆ పల్లెటూలు కు ....అన్నదాత రైతన్న కు ఈ నా కవిత అంకితం

Flowers have an expression ...!!!!

Flowers have an expression of countenance as much as men or animals. Some seem to smile; some have a sad expression; some are pensive and diffident; others again are plain, honest and upright....

The true beauty of Life is lies in Kindness !!!!

One beautiful spring day a red rose blossomed
in a forest. Many kinds of trees and plants grew there. As the rose looked
around, a pine tree nearby said, "What a beautiful flower. I wish I was
that lovely." Another tree said, "Dear pine, do not be sad, we can
not have everything.The rose turned its head and remarked, "It
seems that I am the most beautiful plant in this forest."

A sunflower raised its yellow head and asked,
"Why do you say that? In this forest there are many beautiful plants. You
are just one of them." The red rose replied, "I see everyone looking
at me and admiring me."

Then the rose looked at a cactus and said,
"Look at that ugly plant full of thorns!" The pine tree said,
"Red rose, what kind of talk is this? Who can say what beauty is? You have
thorns too.

The proud red rose looked angrily at the pine and
said, "I thought you had good taste! You do not know what beauty is at
all. You can not compare my thorns to that of the cactus."

"What a proud flower", thought the trees.
The rose tried to move its roots away from the
cactus, but it could not move. As the days passed, the red rose would look at
the cactus and say insulting things, like: This plant is useless? How sorry I
am to be his neighbor."

The cactus never got upset and he even tried to
advise the rose, saying, "God did not
create any form of life without a purpose."

Spring passed, and the weather became very warm.
Life became difficult in the forest, as the plants and animals needed water and
no rain fell. The red rose began to wilt. One day the rose saw sparrows stick
their beaks into the cactus and then fly away, refreshed. This was puzzling,
and the red rose asked the pine tree what the birds were doing. The pine tree
explained that the birds got water from the cactus.

"Does it not hurt when they make holes?" asked the rose.

Yes, but the cactus does not like to see any birds suffer," replied the pine.

The rose opened its eyes in wonder and said, "The cactus has water?"

"Yes you can also drink from it. The sparrow can bring water to you if you ask the cactus for help." The red rose felt too ashamed of its past words
and behavior to ask for water from the cactus, but then it finally did ask the
cactus for help. The cactus kindly agreed and the birds filled their beaks with
water and watered the rose's roots.

Moral of the Story :

A proud rose thinks that it’s superior to other plants in the forest because of its beauty.

But it later learns that beauty is not the only thing when it sees the cactus helping thirsty birds.

• 1.A beautiful rose looked down upon an ugly cactus but
  after the dry season came it got ashamed of its insulting words as it saw
  the cactushurt itself to provide water for birds.
• 2. The passage mainly tells us that a red rosethought
  a cactus was very ugly because of its thorns. However, when it
  became dry and no rain fell, the cactus could bring water to the
  birds and roses, which made the rose ashamed.

• 3.Being proud of its outer beauty, the red roselaughed at the cactus.
  However, spring passed and the red rose was dying. At that
  moment, it saw birds suck water from the cactus and realized
  what the true beauty was.
• 4. The proud red rose laughed at the cactus for its ugly appearance and thorns, but in hot and
  dry weather, it was the cactus’ thorns that provided lifesaving water
  to birds, which shamed the rose.

• The story happened in natural world, but the moral it teaches us can be applied
  to human society. Everyone has his or her own value in the world. We
  should not tease or look down upon others even if they are not superior in
  one field, because they might be excellent and generous in other fields,
  which we are not good at. In these cases, we need to ask them for help.
  Everyone has advantages and eventually shines.

• . The story mentioned above reminds us of thinking
  what real beauty is. From the comparisonbetween
  the proud red rose and the ugly but kind cactus, we have learnt that real beauty lies inside, where kindness and generosity
  live; but not from outside, where selfishness roots.

Helen Keller, a woman who is blind but brave. Although she doesn’t have

a beautiful face, she is always kind to others and does everything in her power to save people who are also disabled. So generous is she that everyone respects and loves her.

She tells us the meaning of beauty, which is noble in our society.

And Finally the main moral is :

Never judged anyone by their appearance

God did not create any form of life without
a

purpose.

Let's not forget to tribute to 3 Great Martyrs !!!!

No news papers or media channels are not covered the today’s significance . I.e. Mar 23
But those who remember the true significance they pay respect in social networking sites.

Todays is the Shaheedi Diwas of Bhagat Singh, Rajguru and Sukhdev.
On 23rd of March every year in India we celebrate the Martyrs Day.

March 23 1931, could be a normal date for the world but for India it’s a sad day and entire nation is in tears.
On 23rd Mar 1931, with 'Inquilab Zindabad' in their mind, these three youngsters were hanged to death.
Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev and Rajguru fought for the independence till their last breath and trembled the foundation of British Government.

But, today India is dividing on the name of religion caste, state.
These local insurgents who want to divide India on the name of freedom should first know the meaning of independence.
They are killing innocent people and damaging public properties to solve their purpose.

Entho mandhi Telagana perutho athma hatyalu chesukuntunaru…..


Spend 2 minutes in remembering the Great martyrs

Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev and Rajguru... LET US SALUTE THEM TO PAY OUR TRIBUTE TO TRUE MARTYS



A Welcome to Death -
The trial of the accused commenced. In those days political prisoners were not treated properly in the jail. They were not given proper food. They were made to suffer in every possible way. Bhagat Singh and his companions decided to fight against the wretched conditions. Bhagat Singh was sure of being hanged. But he thought at least the other political. Prisoners could benefit. All the revolu- tionaries went on fast. They fasted for two months. Then the Government said it would consider their demands. Some gave up the fast. But Jatin Das did not. He did not listen to anybody. On the 64th day of his fast, he died. Bhagat Singh fasted for thirty-two days thereafter.
The trial of Bhagat Singh and hiscompanions began; it drew the attention of the whole world. The court was heavily guarded by the police. No spectators were allowed inside the court. The prisoners were brought to the court in chains. They used to shout 'Long Live Revolution I' and only then enter the court hall.
Bhagat Singh and BatukeshwarDutt stated, "If the deaf are to hear, the sound has to be very loud. When we dropped thebomb, it was not our intention to kill anybody. We have bombed the British Government. The British must quit India and make her free." They also explained the objects of their association. The whole world came to understand their aim and activitiesbecause of the press reports.
Finally judgment was given. Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev and Rajguru were to be hanged; some were to undergo lifeimprisonment; some were to be kept in jail for five years, some for seven, some for ten years.
Bhagat Singh was to be hanged! When the news spread, the people all over the country were mad with rage. Thousands of appeals were sent to the Government, pleading that he should be saved. Several leaders of public life joined in the appeal. But all attempts failed. It was decided to hang them on the 24th of March 1931. Even the members of the prisoners' families were hot allowed to meet them. Moreover,
Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev and Rajguru were hanged a day before the appointed day, that is, on March 23rd.

Even on the day of their hanging they were fearless. They were cheerful. They com- peted with one another to be hanged first. It was decided that first Sukhdev would be hanged and then Bhagat Singh and finally Rajguru. All the three climbed the platform. Kissing the rope, they themselves put it round their neck. They died with the name of Bharat Mata on their lips. Such was the end of the three champions of freedom.
That day no one in the jail touched food. Everyone was in tears. The next day, not knowing that the three prisoners had already been hanged, their relatives came to meet them. But it was all over with them. The dead bodies of the martyrs had been secretly burnt on the bank of the river Sutlej. Getting a clue thousands of people raced to the spot; but only the ashes remained. The people sobbed, with the ashes in their hands.
All over the country tributes were paid to the heroes who fought for freedom and sacrificed their lives.
Even today, the heroic spirit of Bhagat Singh is an unfailing source of inspiration to the youth of the country.
His courage, spirit of adventure and patriotism are an example to one and all.

Value of Copper Coin !!!!

Mahatma Gandhi went from city to city, village to village collecting funds for the Charkha Sangh. During one of his tours he addressed a meeting in Orissa. After his speech a poor old woman got up. She was bent with age, her hair was grey and her clothes were in tatters. The volunteers tried to stop her, but she fought her way to the place where Gandhiji was sitting. “I must see him,” she insisted and going up to Gandhiji touched his feet. Then from the folds of her sari she brought out a copper coin and placed it at his feet. Gandhiji picked up the copper coin and put it away carefully. The Charkha Sangh funds were under the charge of Jamnalal Bajaj. He asked Gandhiji for the coin but Gandhiji refused. “I keep cheques worth thousands of rupees for the Charkha Sangh,” Jamnalal Bajaj said laughingly “yet you won’t trust me with a copper coin.” “This copper coin is worth much more than those thousands,”

Gandhiji said. “If a man has several lakhs and he gives away a thousand or two, it doesn’t mean much. But this coin was perhaps all that the poor woman possessed. She gave me all she had. That was very generous of her. What a great sacrifice she made. That is why I value this copper coin more than a crore of rupees.

The famous quote by Mahatma Gandhi is

"Be the change you want to see in the world"

Please put a Little water....for thirsty birds in summer !!!!

One small request to All friends ,

i think many people may know this, because of global warming day by day the
summer is getting more worse in India i.e. mainly in cities .
And many birds in cities are dieing due to scarcity of water in heavy temperatures.

So please take a couple of minutes out of our day and put some fresh water
in pots or in some bowls for thirsty birds @ Balcony/ Window sills / Terrace
( or where ever ...accessible to this creatures )

Even tough this little water costs us nothing but may save little life's

If possible, do the same for the orphan animals near to ur surroundings
i.e. dogs,cats,cows etc

This is very simple thing we can do ...for our fellow creatures....who can’t speak their troubles.

If you see the relief of thirsty bird or animal , because of water you put in hot summer.
you all also do this regularly.

Even if you are not able to do, please spread this to your friend or forward this message to all.

No need of do great things do small things with Great Love. - Mother Teresa
