    हमारा गणतंत्र दिवस !

    मैं भारत माँ पर गर्व करूँ

    औ” नित नित शीश नवाऊँ,

    मेरी वाणी में सामर्थ कहाँ

    गुणगान जो उसका कर पाऊँ।

    वर्षों से गुलामी की बेड़ी ने

    भारत माँ को जकड़ा था,

    वीर शहीदों ने दी आहुति

    संघर्ष कर जंजीरों को तोड़ा था।

    पुलकित मन से हम सबने

    देखी आज़ादी की नई भोर ,

    अब अपने हाथों में सहेज

    थामीं हमने दायित्व डोर।

    मिल जुल कर कुछ विद्वानों ने

    लिखा फिर अपना संविधान,

    जिसमें है नीहित हित सबके

    ऐसा है अपना विधि विधान।

    समान न्याय ,अधिकारों का

    वर्णन इसमें हमें मिलता है,

    सुशासन से अपना देश चले

    इसकी ये व्यवस्था करता है।

    २६ जनवरी सन पचास से इस दिन

    हम ‘गणतंत्र दिवस ‘ मनाते हैं,

    लोकतंत्र है शासन का स्वरूप

    हम मिल कर देश चलाते हैं।

    सारे देश के सब संस्थानों में

    उत्सव ये मनाया जाता है ,

    मुँह मीठा कर और खुश हो कर

    तिरंगा फहराया जाता है ।

    दिल्ली में ‘कर्तव्य पथ’पर इस दिन

    सेनाएँ करती हैं शौर्य प्रदर्शन,

    सांस्कृतिक झाँकियाँ मन मोहे

    लोक धुन पर करते हैं नर्तन।

    सेना से सलामी लेते हैं

    अपने माननीय राष्ट्रपति,

    स्नेह निमंत्रण भेजे जाते

    विदेशों से आते मुख्य अतिथि।

    गणमान्य सभी और जन समूह

    यह परेड देखने आते हैं ,

    खुश हो कर करतल ध्वनि से वो

    सबका उत्साह बढ़ाने हैं ।

    अति भव्य आयोजन होता वहाँ

    सैनिक कर्तव्य निभाते हैं,

    संगीत के सुर में ताल मिला

    मनोहारी दृश्य दिखाते हैं।

    नए शस्त्र और तकनीकों को

    मिलता इस दिन सम्मान वहाँ

    वायुयान करतब दिखाते नभ पर

    जयघोष का गूँजे नाद वहाँ।

    अपने देश की धरती पावन है

    संस्कृति व विरासत है महान,

    ऋतुएँ सारी होती हैं यहाँ

    है खड़ा हिमालय सीना तान।

    अपने श्रम और शुभ कर्मों से

    भारत को श्रेष्ठ बनाना है ,

    हो विश्व में जय जयकार सदा

    सुख शांति कि अलख जगाना है।

    वंदे मातरम !

       - By Uma Sridharan

    “My Friends” by Fredrick Back man is a tender, reflective novel about how friendship, love, and shared memories shape who we become long after childhood ends. Through a group of friends bound by loyalty, quiet sacrifices, and unspoken pain, Backman explores how people carry both joy and grief together—and how the people who truly know us often save us without realizing it. The story moves between past and present, revealing how small moments, kindnesses, and forgiveness can leave lifelong imprints, and how growing up doesn’t mean letting go of the friendships that once made us feel seen.

    Key Lessons:
    True friends see you clearly—even when you can’t see yourself.
    Love is often shown through small, consistent acts rather than grand gestures.
    People carry invisible struggles; compassion matters more than judgment.
    Childhood friendships leave permanent marks on our hearts.
    Healing comes from connection, honesty, and forgiveness.
    Best Quotes:
    “The people who love us don’t save us from pain—they sit with us in it.”
    “Friendship isn’t about perfection; it’s about staying.”
    “Some memories hurt, but they are still proof that love existed.”
    “Growing up doesn’t mean forgetting who made you feel less alone.”

    The other interesting dimension is it moves swiftly between parenthood, childhood and hiw what we do and don’t do shapes who we are and who the children become

    And my personal favorite is ““It’s art that helps me cope. Because art is fragile magic, just like love, and that’s humanity’s only defense against death. That we create and paint and dance and fall in love, that’s our rebellion against eternity.”

    मोहक पतझड़

    हे प्रकृति ! मैं तुझ पे बलिहारी

    क्या ख़ूब चलाई पिचकारी ,

    चित्रकार नहीं कोई तुझ जैसा

    जो दृश्य दिखाये मनोंहारी ।

    प्रभु नें रहमत बरसाई है

    रंगों से करी है कारीगरी ,

    फूलों के दर्प को चूर किया

    पत्तों की बनाई फुलवारी ।

    राहों के किनारे पेड़ों की

    मोहक ये छटा प्यारी -प्यारी ,

    ऑखों से गुज़रते दृश्य लगें

    ज्यों दुल्हन की चुनरी न्यारी ।

    प्रभु तेरी लीला अजब - गजब

    अद्भुत लागे ये छवि सारी ,

    कहनें को मौसम पतझड़ का

    पर ऋतु की महिमा है भारी ।

    मन मोहित है , आनंदित है

    एक अमिट छाप मन पे न्यारी ,

    कुछ दिन में समय फिर बदलेगा

    बिछुड़ेंगे सभी बारी बारी ।

    है धन्य रचयिता हम सब का

    अनुपम श्रृँगार पे मैं वारी ,

    मन ! मंत्र -मुग्ध हो जाता है

    कर जाता ऐसी जादूगरी ।

    फिर नई कोपलें आयेंगी

    होगी हरियाली सुखकारी

    परिवर्तित करके रंग -रूप

    यूँ ही चलती है सृष्टी सारी ।

                आशा
