Recovering from a bad marriage breakup (A Personal Story)

Story of a Muslim sister who had a rough start in her married life … (All names have been deleted) – In response to the comments received by the readers, the sister has provided comments again in the comments section under the author “U T”.

When a girl enters marriage, the minimum expectations she has are that she would be able to establish a peaceful, and if possible, friendly relationship with her husband. If she has confidence about herself that she won’t pose any demands of wealth and riches on her husband, she further feels assured that he would be appreciative and there won’t be any scope for quarrels.

It was with such expectations that I entered married life. My husband soon realized that I wasn’t demanding and mentioned to my mother that Allah had given him better than he had expected. And I happily believed that my marital life had started on a proper note and hence will continue on the right track.

But sad to say this anticipation soon met with disappointment as expectations from my husband started rearing their ugly head. These expectations pertained to something that was not in my power to control or provide. I had become pregnant just a month after getting married and within 7 weeks of pregnancy my problems started. I had to consult a gynecologist who said that if I wanted to save the pregnancy, I’d have to take total bed rest. My husband preferred not to follow the doctor’s advice. His mother and elder brother chose to believe that I was being unnecessarily delicate and fussy. They were of the opinion that to survive in this world you need to be tough, and sadly, quite heartlessly they started trying to impart lessons in ‘toughness’ to me by ignoring my genuine need for rest and being totally insensitive to my feelings and pain – both physical and mental.

Well, things came to such a pass that I aborted a 16 weeks’ foetus, first getting scolded by the doctor for not following her instructions, and then faced by the bleak scenario of putting up with taunts about my delicacy which had already started coming from my mother-in-law. My husband was of no help either. Neither could he console me nor did he provide any assurance about the future. When I was in my parents’ house, taking rest, he did not visit me, but kept asking me to return, sometimes threatening, sometimes persuading with false hopes. His total lack of understanding and sympathy spelt out clearly over the phone, made me shed such tears as I hadn’t shed in my 24 years of life. I realized that this relationship could not continue, but was scared of taking the initiative in separation as a Hadith of our Prophet (S.A.W.S.) says that a woman who resorts to ‘Khula’ (divorce sought by the wife) without a valid reason, would not be able to even smell the fragrance of Paradise.

My parents arranged for a meeting with an Islamic scholar, a Mufti, who explained to me that the clause ‘for no valid reason’ is important and this is to ensure that divorce is not taken lightly. He told me that my conscience should guide me, and eventually my honesty with myself is a matter between me and Allah. He also reminded me that Allah is Well Aware of each individual’s capacity of endurance. So, wanting to give my marriage a second chance, I went back to see if there were any changes (as my husband had been promising me). However, within four days I realized that nothing had changed, my husband actually telling me that he was doing me a favor out of pity for my “Kismet”. I told my mother that I was worried about the future (of a divorcee) and hence chose to continue the relationship which now had nothing for me. My mother asked me to visualize a life all alone and compare it with the present one and see which condition I would prefer. I immediately said, ‘Being alone’. She said if that were the case there was no point in continuing such a relationship. I finally opted out of it.

My first reaction was, “Thank God I’m following Islam which has a provision for a woman to end a relationship that holds only suffering for her.” There was no need to resort to any long drawn out court case.

I told my parents not to blame themselves for not having made enough enquiries about the boy, since one can’t know before hand how he is going to treat his wife. (Islam closes the door for “If I had done this or that…..” Everything that happens, happens according to Allah’s Will (concept of Qada wal-Qadr) which has to be accepted without complaints, but with dependence on Him and prayers and hopes for the future.)

I thanked Allah that I was still physically and mentally sound and had enough education to be independent and not a burden on my parents. (We should be grateful to Allah for whatever Blessings are still being enjoyed by us.)

Having gone through a miscarriage I wasn’t sure whether I’d be able to carry a pregnancy full term. So when my parents brought up the question of second marriage I said I didn’t mind marrying a widower and accepting his kids.

Having stayed in the first relationship for 6 months, I had guilty feelings about having caused hurt to a person’s feelings by breaking the bond. My mother advised me to pray for him, since we are all human beings liable to commit blunders. He had committed a blunder of not understanding a woman’s delicacy (of constitution) and feelings, but that didn’t mean that we should become vengeful and resort to anger or accusations. So I prayed for him as I was praying for myself and this gave me peace of mind. (In the Quran, where the provision of ‘Khula’- divorce initiated by the woman – is mentioned, the instruction given by Allah is that both should separate ‘gracefully’ and Allah Will provide for both.) My parents and I tried our best to follow Quranic instructions closely.

I am now happy to share with you that a few years ago I got married to my present husband who was still unmarried. It wasn’t as if he knew me or my nature. He was a total stranger to us. He was working abroad. When someone asked him why he chose to marry a divorcee while he himself had not yet been married, he said he was fulfilling a Sunnah of our Prophet (S.A.W.S.) since our Prophet also had married a divorcee. He kept asking my parents whether they had taken my consent.

It is 4 years now since we’ve been married and he has proved to be a genuine person. He follows Islam as it should be followed; treats me as a companion and friend; has never given me the feeling that he has done a favor to me. And when I again needed bed rest during pregnancy, I got it. He prayed for a daughter and Allah (S.W.T.) has blessed us with a daughter. Alhamdolillah I consider myself really blessed by Allah.

Lessons learned:

1  Don’t let obstacles deter you from your faith in Allah.

2  Obstacles in life sometimes pave the way for a better life.

3  No matter what your situation, Allah will find a way for you if you have Tawakkul in Him.

4   If you get into an unpleasant situation with another Muslim, don’t become vengeful. On the other hand, by having a big heart and praying for the other person not only will help that person but will have angels praying for you (per a hadith) and improve your situation, as well as will earn you Allah’s pleasure.

5 Even in the toughest of times, we should be grateful to Allah and recognize His Blessings on us.

May Allah ease all our affairs and provide us the right perspective and courage to face them!

Burn…..In Egypt- The Call of Democracy

I am wandering these days thinking about the foremost heightened issue engulfing the whole world- The Egypt’s Demand of Democratic governmental set-up. The exquisiteness of this ongoing war (though war is never exquisite) can be understood in terms, that every time when there is anarchy in the system, dialectical materialism concept of the Marx comes into picture more often. As per Carl Marx, whenever there are certain set of the contradiction in the nature and society than it leads to the change in the system and a better form the system is demanded so as to meet everybody’s need. Infact, contradiction is the root cause of the change and motion in the universe. And hence Dialectics is the logic of contradiction.

I am not trying to shore up any sides of systems, not even trying to advocate the kind of system that is demanded is right or the system that exists is correct. But what is required to understand here is that what actually is demanded by the Egyptian though is correct given checker of upcoming system manages the show in a manner beneficial for the people of Egypt and also for the World’s Political and Social systems.

The hostilities that began on to come into show from 24^th Jan 2011 have its roots lying in past years of development. And similar sort of developments had been taking place in multiple nations with Monarchial or Autocratic form of government. Recently, countries like Tunisia, Yemen and Jordan, have seen similar form of changes around their country. In Tunisia every individual joined their hands against the totalitarian government and have overthrown an unmanaged –non-performing-authoritarian rule. A similar form of upsurge has been seen in the countries like Jordan and Yemen, where King has to leave the throne against the demand of the Democratic form of the system.

A country being suffering from continuous inflation, Unemployment and overtly corrupt political system and administration, which is an abuse in itself- Egyptian are not in a mood to look back and wanting the regime of Hosni Mubarak to be out  thrown from not just from the seat but also from the nation. Countrymen are asking ‘Go Mubarak’ complaining “Kaifaya”- Enough. It is important to note here that though country has been performing better compared to countries of the similar capacities but more importantly situation on other front is turning out be more and more awry.

The 1^st Feb 2011, saw a repetition of history, routing that of martin Luther King Million march against racism in America during the discrimination in USA of African-American nationals in onset 19^th century. A similar form of the Million March was a spectacle on this day in the city of Cairo in Egypt, against the 30 years old government of Hosni Mubarak, demanding the fall of the government. A march wherein people of all segment and of all ages, even children and women, came together with their non-diminishing cause that ‘The Regime must go’ and changes are demanded with nothing less than the dethronement of the Hosni Mubarak not only from government and seat, but also from the country. The kind of protest is unique in itself because the importance lies with the protest is a Mass protest without any backing of any political figure, and it’s a Public Protest in true sense. Though there sounds of Muslim Brotherhood, banned in the country, to take the advantage of the situation, as Army Chief, Mr Sami Enan is considered to be possible replacement of the MR Mubarak’s unseated post. Though, Mohammed Elberdei has turned out to be a bigger man against the Anti-government demonstration. With the issues having agendas of growth and corruption and people of Egypt are asking nothing less than the Government immediate removal. Though it is also important to notice that people of the country are demanding that none of the present ruler or opponents to be there, governing them. They don’t want Mubarak is true but are not even willing either Muslim Brotherhood or El Berdei to look after the biggest throne of the country and managing the show. Though it is demanded that not only government should be out thrown but there should be a complete revival of the country’s governmental system not just by management but also by the kind of the selection of the government and the leaders in the country, in short a form of government which is Democratic is all aspects.

The upheaval have been accompanied with multiple set of changes ranging from, complete ban of Internet and more recently the Media also, schools and colleges  along with businesses remained closed. Citizens of all the foreign nations are getting back to their nest seeing the chaotic situation in the country. Since all businesses are shut downed seeing the unwanted situation, the tourism has been impacted in the similar fashion. And all the other aspect of the economy is no different. Authorities have tried to impact the transportation system to stop the protest from swelling further. But the sprawling demonstration of hunger for Democratic set-up with the dethronement of the present government is not going to satiate unless the demand of the people the country is not met. The Revolution of Nile is considered to be correct with its legitimacy demanding a system based on the equality and freedom of choosing the better form of government, administration and most importantly, A Better Life. ‘Clear Structure & clear Leadership’ is the motto that is thrusting the people of Egypt.

Egypt Revolution and World Politics: With the announcement of the Mr Mubarak on not taking step-back to leave the Presidential Post till next election to be held in September this year, the political drama seems to gets more and more graving, where people of Egypt are asking nothing less than “Leave Mubarak”- Mubarak to end his autocratic regime from the country.

But Drama is also at least taking into shape in the current world’s political scenario as well, where one can see the savior of World Peace ‘The UNO’ as non living its character in true manner. Initially, even the major power in this regard namely, United States of America, who always been an unasked helping hand for the nation(s) in trouble is all unvoiced against what is taking into shape in the Egypt, as it understand that its steps supporting either sides would have huge consequential impact on its image as the originator of Democracy, in fact may be tainted as supporter of something unacceptable.

Though USA is not only entity into this ‘Play Safe Mode’, India is also carrying the similar kind of the strategic move, which more of neutral in the nature. With Mr. S M Krishna, the Foreign Minister of the present Indian Government made an announcement which can adjudged as balance in its drafting. It was said by him in with talks to media, that India has kept its eye open on the current changes and developments in the Egypt, and is deeply considerate about the kind of development taking place. But it expected that whatever turns up finally would be in best favor the people of the Egypt.

But recently, on 4^th Feb 2011 the ‘Departure Day’ of Hosni Mubarak from Egypt and its Big Throne, USA and India and other Big Nations started criticizing the undergoing of this bad fated nation. The cause is now backed by them saying that Hosni Mubarak should go, but America is playing Diplomatic tricks by saying that they don’t want Hosni Mubarak to be tossed out uprightly from the Egypt and throne. Their logic behind the same is that if it happens then the situation in the country may worsen. Though the point is correct to support the cause but what if the huge protest demanding the change of the system of anarchy by citizens sprawls more large and if million march coverts into “Millions March” and this silent protest, though have claimed more than 150 lives and more than 1200 injured, but still it has not yet taken a mass bloody battle against the government, if ‘Khuda Na Khasta’ (God Mercy) it happens then what’s the requirement slow change to take place and what will other nations loose except some sympathy words, but the actual loser will be Egypt only- Politically and Socially. But recently on account of the international pressure from across world has caused the Mr Mubarak to bend a little but he isn’t ready to leave the seat. And moreover, isn’t it interesting that The Most Powerful country is unnecessarily interfering into the matter of the Egypt, if they are truly bothered about playing God in creating peace across nations. If it really feel that way to create the sensible and responsible role of maintaining peace than wont it be better if it focus towards contentious situation between Israel and Palestine, Bhutan Immigration to India, China unduly taking advantage of India’s liberal Policies and intruding into the regions of North East………….but here the interest of the Big Daddy nation vanishes because these are not strategically important nation for them, Infact some of these nations are equally powerful in their strength. And the major reason turns out is the Oil Enrichment f the nation, if it favors the new government it can impose its policy there at a newly formed government and get the multi-dimensional benefits.

……………………

ECONOMY OF REVOLUTION: 

This demand of the democratic form the government has certainly mounting day by day turning into a Mass Movement. And the heat of the tussle is not only being felt just by the people of the country, rather the war of democracy is engulfing the lives of billions of people in one form or other. Exact calculations depicting the impact of the war could not be estimated at the moment. But in present context, Oil telecommunications, and core sectors are going to be impacted badly. Let meander through some of the major impact that this war could lead to:

Oil Crisis: Major chunk of the supply of the crude oils comes from the Middle East region of Asia region. The Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Yemen, Kuwait, Dubai etc and other nations of the Arab world is major supplier to world’s economy. Egypt controls the Suez Canal and world shipping and energy supplies could be sharply affected if use of the canal is disrupted. More than 35,000 ships pass through the Suez annually, with 2,700 of them crude oil tankers. Due to hostile situation in the Egypt, the Suez Canal connecting the western world from the Middle East Countries, the all kinds of trading had turned out to be an awry faced.

And thereby, recently the impact has been seen in terms the supply of the petroleum and related products across the world leading to the steep hike of the crude oil per barrel from $97 to $100!!. This phenomenon is back into picture only after 2008, when the price of the crude oil has shifted upwardly to more than $100/barrel.

Tourism: Tourism in the main source of revenue in the nation where it accounts for more than 5% to the country’s Income. And due to war like situation in the country, government of every nation has asked its citizens to not to visit Egypt, thereby the economy’s major occupation has suffered a major setback. Not just shattering the major occupation but also causing a loss of Foreign Exchange which travels to the country through the route of tourism.

Investors’ Worry: With the outburst of the Home- war in the country, the investors from the Saudi Regions have started selling their share-holding because the confrontation between public and Government has created an atmosphere of uncertainty among investors, thereby forcing them to get rid of Shares as soon possible. Investor across whole of the world planned to stop seeing towards this part of the Egypt Story because of its Unending drama. Indian, business biggies have temporarily shut downed their operations in the country seeing the turmoil in the country and hence movement’s significant connotation can be understood that, it’s not only hampering its own nation but also brunt of the situation is being felt by other economies too, in one way or other.

NEXT TO FOLLOW IN THE COUNTRY-WHAT AND WHO:

Hosni Mubarak had been backed by USA and other countries despite autocratic regime carried by him since past 30 years. Backing was supported because of the illusion created by the Hosni Mubarak in the name of radical forces, namely Muslim Brotherhood; if he leaves the throne then radicalized elements would take undue advantage causing the worst results favoring country. And he had been able to convince the western world on account of this logic. And USA would have never been in favor of any nation being run by Islamic- Radical-government be it democratic in nature, rather autocratic non-democratic set up was considered favorable for themselves, strategically.

But seeing the present upsurge, the claims of Hosni Mubarak has been now declined in the favor of democratic form of government. The demand arising from the streets of Cairo is asking nothing less than dismantling of the system and the King. As per certain activist over the Tahreer Square, they don’t want any one among the present league of big leaders to preside them. Since, they had a point that as they not being headed by any Figurative Entity then why should they be given chance to lead us.

Though there are many Contenders for the Biggest Sit of the Nation; and some of the names are;

Noble Laureate Mohammed El Bardei- the Front runner in the race of the Presidential post in the country. He has turned up as the most influencing figure, talking about democratic set-up in the country since his return back to country. Born in Egypt in 1942, Mr ElBaradei studied law at the University of Cairo. He began his career in the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 1964, and worked in Egypt's permanent mission to the UN both in New York and in Geneva. On his active participation the non-nuclear weapon proliferation activities, he was awarded with Noble Peace Prize in the year 2005.

Earlier being accountable for the nuclear matters of the US government though was responsible for several of suggestions to Bush regime, but was strict anti-activist for the proliferation of the nuclear weapons.

In the picture of current war-like situation he has emerged as the leading voice of the common man out there at Egypt. He is the one can be made accountable for the newly born and developed state of Democratic Egypt. His being at the Presidential Position will certainly infuse a new blood of development in the country and hopefully things will start taking good shape in more democratic manner.

But his being unaware with the ground realities of the Egypt and further being non-experienced with much of the political criticalities, he will certainly find his way slightly difficult to reach the big chair.

Muslim Brotherhood- Banned Radical Group: If something bad is not fated to Egypt then this Radical Islamic group influenced from the Arab world should reach to the Presidential Post, though they presently are serving as mere joint group of the parties protesting against the government. If they reach to the Big Position then nothing else then further declination of the state can be expected. 

The Muslim Brotherhood, or al-Ikhwan al-Muslimun, is Egypt's oldest and largest Islamist organization. Founded by Hassan al-Banna in the 1920s, the group has influenced Islamist movements around the world with its model of political activism combined with Islamic charity work. Though currently they banned in the country seeing their extremist kind of activities they were imposed with a ban. And if they come in to power they will ensure formation of a government based on the Islamic Law, and this prove to be deteriorating for Egypt. And the purpose for which this revolution is being created these days will turn out to be in vein. People of the country asking for their “Rights” in the nation of their virtue, but what if they do not get any access to their normal lives, and if Muslim Brother Hood comes into power then this is certainly going to happen. 

Omar Suleiman Vice President-Egypt: Omar Suleiman born in 1935, has been though many of the higher ranks in the Army of Egypt and was an important mediator while negotiations for the Gaza-Stripe took place between Israel and Palestine. He has been emerging largely in past few years, though had adorned multiple high ranks in the Army of his nation, the biggest he served was Army General. Despite all these he has been stereotyped as the man closer to the Hosni Mubarak. If he comes to the position then people of Egypt might get a better leader in him having the ground realities into his knowledge, because he has served this nation since past many years and understands the every nuances of the political set up of the country.

Though the possibility in against of his position can be seen in terms of his experience as the political man, this is the only platform where he actually lacks. Though he has the most powerful reach in the country and can be considered as the possible Kingmaker, if he could not put himself to the Presidential position.  

HOPE FOR THE BEST:

It’s important to understand here that Egypt is looking for a democratic set up in the country that had been ruled for past 30 years in more of the autocratic comportment. Many chapters are yet to unfold; many new changes are yet to be unveiled in the country. The Country of Pharaohs is looking for a man, who would not only look after the ruins of theirs but could also help the country to grow as per the aspirations of the people of the nation.

Whom to Blame????!!!

Of all the debates taking into shape the biggest and hottest debate in the present context is ‘Inflation’. Today ‘Mehngaayi Dayan’ is the foremost enemy in the true sense. The irony of the situation could be very well thought of, as the Our Honorable Prime Minister, Our Home Minster and the Finance Minister; the three biggies are well renowned Giant in Economic matters and had been always classified as the best of the scholars on the subject of national economy and finances.

The paradox of this present situation could be assessed from other angle as well that despite that Indian economy being least affected out of passing year recession our economy was considered more stringent against any sort of the economic downturn and the supporting factor was our sound financial and economic systems. But current Inflationary situation has led this government and not just the Government but also the top most policy makers and bureaucrats being in-charged with money related matters; mainly authorities and economists sitting at RBI to rethink and rewrite the theories governing relations of Money supply and inflation. As a matter of fact, the most important thing to be noticed here is that in year 2010, to work out inflation based on the various controlling tool RBI has increased various set of interest rates not just once or twice, but 6 times, but all in vein. All the tools to control the inflationary outburst are turning out to be futile. Adding grievances to this incessantly growing wholesale price index is food inflation. With Onion and tomato leading the rally of Peak Price, many other vegetables are following the suit. Well contrary and except always prevails so is the case here as well, Potato, the uncrowned staple food of India, is available in bumper amount this year, so the obvious fact is the price at which it is available into market. This vegetable is the only relaxing element in the food budget of Indian ‘AAM AADMI’. Further fuels have been added by the unstoppable price of the Petroleum and related product, and situation has been truly worsened by the spiraling impact of the same. With hike in the petroleum prices every other activities gets affected and as a result everything one or other gets costlier and costlier.

Our top most leaders came along together to make out a serious step against Inflation in the ‘MahaBaithak’ at the Prime Minister’s house in the first-second week of the new year. And surprise package turned out as the result of this whole drama. As after long hours of discussion the outcome which turned up was really surprising for every Indian citizen, Mr Prime Minister asked every Indian Citizen to consume less of the costly items and they should pay their heed to more cheaper foods; namely Yellow Peas. All Bullshit, Mr Prime Minister, was it the whole thing that you and your intelligent economist guys had into your mind after hours of discussion that’s really surprising and they are running the business of the politics into our Nation and we have chosen them to our governing body. May God bless India!!!!! Further to add salts to the wounds of the vast middle class of the India, Mr PM said that Average Income of the individuals have increased in India and people are now demanding more goods against their rising income and aspiration and because of which price of every items of the economy is soaring. Perhaps Mr PM has forgotten the data on the Poor Mass of India, the data of 22% people below poverty line is still unchanged and the ones who are above this line of quoted non-poor are no better, Infact they are on the edge of two sided sword of Hard Luck. Well that’s any ways of no use for any matter as I know that our Mr Singh (the PM) must have these data into his mind while making these announcements. Well, consider it to be human error country mates.

But the question remains as who actually to be blamed for this engraving situation in the country, as only policy makers are erring or there are many folds yet to be unfolded in this whole game of Inflation. Let’s check it out the major issues related to the same as why this situation is taking a shape of danger day after another.

Non- Effective RBI Policies without proper investigation of situation - As per an Interview report of Mr D. Subbarao, Governor, Reserve bank of India, to a certain private news channel, it was said, Nevertheless, controlling inflation -- particular food inflation -- is no easy task in this environment, given the ample amount of global liquidity and the natural disasters/poor weather conditions that have been negatively impacting the worldwide farming sector. So taking queue from same I proceed with that if the problem is with the global liquidity and also natural disaster and poor whether then how monetary policies (Rate hike) that too on regular basis would check out food inflation, which is the actual concern of the common man. Though it is claimed that Indians these days have more money with them because of their increased income caused by sixth pay commission implementation and turning up of the MNCs in the country and to suck up money from economy, Monetary Policies reforms are coming month after month. But the resultant is all zero and Inflation is far from the control limits. So problem actually lies somewhere else and that needs to be tracked. And it is also requested to our well trained policy makers that kindly find those roots of the problem and stop over-burdening the pockets of “AAM AADMI”. It is to be understood by Mr Rao and His colleagues that these monetary policies work through demand-side management and that too on expectation basis, meaning that continuous hike in the rate is not much demanded as these deficit created in liquidity is a very recent phenomenon and your monetary policy checks are creating an unduly pressure on the common men wealth and budget.

Black Marketers- Recently we had a bad time with ‘PYAAZ’ Inflation or Onion prices shooting to the peak and all of us had a time when we used to use those onions in small quantities and then using only meager amount into our lunch or dinner. There were multiple operations and raids made on the behalf of governmental bodies to find out the causes of this unbearable hike in the price of the Onions and the results that turned out of all these operations and raids were that black marketers and hoarders had unnecessarily stocked these Onions and were not releasing to the market in order to take an advantage of the same. Similar sort of the stories are common to many of the products which are being used by common man.

Okay, let’s accept this claim of the authorities that black marketers or hoarders have stocked these foods or others items. But government does have the option of importing those items for the common man who doesn’t find himself capable of buying that costly stuff, whose prices have soared intrinsically, as we pay taxes to the government and expect a return which for our betterment. But here too have a point that due to tight demand-supply and other structural mismatch importing goods in ample amount too is limited. So final road to well being demands the better management and supply chain network along with developing certain monitoring bodies to keep a track on these black marketers on regular basis and work more effectively to wipe out any scope of hoarding activities.

Policy Makers- Our present government do possess brilliant economic heads; namely- Mr Manmohan Singh, Mr P Chidambaram and Mr Pranab Mukherji and to company them on the matters of economy they have people like Montek Singh Ahluwalia, Mr Kaushik Basu (Chief Economic Advisor-Finance Ministry) and Mr C Rangarajan (Chairman, PM Economic Advisor Council). These heads of economics came together to discuss the issue of inflation in few weeks passed, and surprisingly the outcome of the meeting was in manner to put salt the wounds, discussions result declared that Indians now have more money and demanding more goods and this is leading to the high prices of the goods. And it was asked to every Indians that they should stop their consumption of those products which are costly and this would automatically put a downward thrust on the prices and hence price boiling will get normal.

Okay Sir agreeing to your statement we start consuming the goods of the lesser cost but sir there are generalized saying that lesser prices means goods of lesser quality and caliber and that may impact to our health also. Another point is that if we start taking Yellow Peas instead of Costly Pulses then side effects of its consumption are disastrous. And not only that, one should stop taking nutritious oils and refine oils and should start taking ‘Vegetable Ghee’. Sir you must be aware of the level of toll that continuous consumption of ‘Vegetable Ghee’ creates. So still you would like to suggest us about what shall we eat in order to avoid inflation and what we shouldn’t? Won’t it be better that top heads should trick about certain better ideas to tackle inflation of this sort.

In a statement made to a business newspaper, Mr Kaushik Basu said that ‘You have to keep in mind that raising tax does not raise revenue. At times, raising tax means the activity shrinks and total revenue goes down.’ But sir the Mathematics of tax that we have studied generalized the phenomenon that if tax increases then price increases and that increased prices are borne by none other than people like us and ultimately common men end up paying more taxes and thereby adding to the government exchequer. Though your points also stand valid but Sir, Kindly notice that reduced activities does not include lesser consumption of food and stopping the consumption of those items quoted as basic amenities. And had it been so then Mr Finance Minister would have increased the estimated tax collection target to Rs. 4.46 lakh crore against last year’s budgeted target for all India collections of Rs. 4.3 lakh crores in Past fiscal year.

Billions of Black money of our rich politician at foreign banks- Recently we all must have heard of the WikiLeaks have disclosed about the Multi-Billions of Rupees being amassed in the foreign banks; namely United Bank of Switzerland. Mr Rajnath Singh, Former BJP President, said to a newspaper- According to the data provided by the Global Financial Integrity (GFI), India has more black money than the rest of the world combined. India has almost 22.5 lakh crores of black money stashed away in Swiss banks and other tax heavens, he said, adding 'this amount is nearly half of the total GDP of the country and around 13-14 times of our total foreign debt'. In another announcement by Mr Pranab Mukherji, Finance Mininster, said that there are estimated $ 462 Billion to $1.5 trillion has been stashed away by Indians into banks abroad. The size of the latter figure is one & half that of our Gross Domestic Product. Given that if those money are brought back we being at the receiving end would be benefitted most not just in terms of reduced prices of the commodities, goods, edibles etc. but also in terms of better infrastructure and ultimately to a better life

Adding to this list is Scams of sizes varying from Rs 50 crores Aviation Scam to Rs 1,75,000 crores 2G spectrum allocation scams. Had these money been raised and been added to the government exchequer then the whole story would have been different as the so called poverty, if could not be eradicated, then it could have been brought to the sufficiently lower level.

There are many more chapters that can be opened here to bring into notice problem like inflation to the kind notice of the authorized bodies of governance. If even a single plea of mine is heard through this message then this effort of would be considered to be successful and I would really appreciate the Government for listening to Common Man voice.

Everything in this happens for certain reasons, sometimes known sometimes unknown. Sometimes they are predictable and other times they are not. The moment you start thinking that something is going right and as per what you have thought of then mind it!!!! This may not be the way you are planning for or aspiring for. Even the words said by Mr Shahrukh Khan in movie Om Shanti Om,

Itni shiddat se tumhe paane ki koshish ki hai,

Ki har Jarre ne tumhe mujhse milane ki sajish ki hai.

Kehte hain kisi chiz ko puri shiddat se chaho to puri kaaynat tumhe usse milane me ag jaati hai................

(I want you with my that desperation, that Every Entity of this world had conspired you to be mine. It is being said that if you want something with full determination and desperation, then the Whole World help you reach your dream.)

This sentences sounds to be conceptually good seeing the background of the movie on which it has been plotted and  but in the reality it may not turn up in the way you have thought about. In the process of our life cycle we keep moving through different sort of relationship then at some point we got to know that we are hooked a fantasy relation, so called ....Love. This part of the life cycle is truly a World- Full of Fantasies. Bbbbbutttttttttt ............please beware. Despite that Har jarre ne milane ki koshish ki ho lekin (Every entity has helped you to meet your dream), but things may not be as obvious as it pretends to be. So let’s  meander through unsaid tale of a traumatic love story.....Ek Traumatic si Love Story.

Wo Kya hai

EK ehsaas jo tere hone ka hai wo kya hai,
Tu ho kar bhi pas nahi hai mere saath , wo kya hai.

Tu hai koi haquiqat ya koi fasana ,
tera mujhse juda juda rahna, wo kya hai.

Mere gham o khushi me tum sharique kyu ho,
Tumhara mujhse iss kadar rishta banana , wo kya hai.

tumhari koi haquiqat nahi, na koi shakl o surat hai,
fir kyu tumharai tasweer sochta hu bata do mujhe wo kya hai

Kahne ko dost aziz hai, kahi uss se bhi jyada kareeb hai
naam jo hai hamare rishte katum bata do wo kya hai

Mera to koi wazud o hashiyat nahi, usse mai Shahzaadi kahta hu,
Tum kaun ho? kya ho? ye to bata do, ye kya hai

Tum kahte ho ke tum ho sachche, fir bhi har haquiqat se gumshuda ho,
tumhare wazud ko mai talashta hu, bata do wo kya hai.

What Am I ??!!!!

One fine day I was exploring

The matter was interesting

Who am I & What Am I

Insight Answered.....U a Loser!!!!!!!!!

It made me think on it again

What I have lost in my life

& what I have Gain....

But isn’t it Ok that I have been Human.

No!!!!!! Said my innate soul,

This is the reason U have always been Fool.

Is it so?? I questioned the soul again,

Mind Answered ...Yes U have been.

I explored it further thinking of the answer,

Soul answered listen u Kaisar

This world is of Hard Work n Competition

There are no places here for any Emotions.

I asked, M I not a hard worker nor m competitive,

Mind appeared telling u a hard worker but more of passive.

Nothing rewards without churning ur mind n body,

U have been more of emotional idiotically.

People Uses u and later think u a Scrap,

U give them the opportunity to put u in such space.

I again started storming my brain,

And found the reasons of my Pain.

But the Question remains, As What I am?

Life is has never been serene

Though I put my heart and brain,

But result has never been expectedly same.

Then appeared My Luck in Discussion terrain

I have favoured who had been brave, My Luck Claimed.

U had been smart and intelligent,

But I am not there in Ur Favour.

I challenged my luck: I will draw u in my favour

The moment I thought then my heart appeared.

It claimed me U Kaisar Ali*

U’ll always win Keep ur mind and heart focussed and clear.

Then clock rang for Ten,

My Mother was around my bed, her lauding her tone

Kaisar its already 10 wake up, don’t be insane .

This time I wake up, though been late, but wake to regenerate Me & my Soul.

Yes M Kaisar Ali*.

*Kaisar Ali- Noble King, A King, Highest Authority

Bebasi

Bebasi iss kadar ho gayi kabiz,
Ham naam laachari kah gaye.
Waqt ne diye kuchh aise thokar,
Ham unhe taqdeer ki bewafai kah gaye.

Haalat e mohabbat laata gar jubaan,
Ho jati Ruswa shayad mohabbat meri.
Khuda ne jab bakhsa shayad Anjaam yahi Ishq ka
Ham apne Khuda ka ye farman kah gaye.

Maine jinhe apni Khwab ki tabeer samjha
Uss zindgi ko mujhse ummeed e jahan thi
Kuwwat na ada ki Khuda band ne is kadar
Mai insaan hu ye darkhwast unke rubaru kah gaye.

Mere jazzbat meri tanhai ke saki rahe hain,
Mere muqaddar ki tameer hai mohabbat unki
Par ye mahaj wahmat e dil hai
Kismat ke iss faisle ko hi apna muqaddar kah gaye.
