Aisi apni wife ho

5″7′ jiski height ho,
Jeans jiski tight ho,
Chehera jiska bright ho,
Weight mein thodi light ho,
Umar me difference slight ho,
Thodi si woh quiet ho,
Aisi apni wife ho. Continue reading “aisi apni wife ho” jabardast hai

Sewa Dharm-Concept of Sewa

fdd7f-download11From the ancient period in Bharat (i.e.India) Sewa is considered as a part of Dharma, Sewa Dharma is a Duty. This concept of Sewa is very complex but in simple word the sages said “Paropakaraya Punyaya, Papaya Parapeedanam “. Which means whatever conduces to the good of others is noble deeds and should be followed. By the term Sewa, the common understanding is that it implies an act, word or thought which helps to mitigate the sufferings of others and increases their happiness.

American Lady to Rural Indian Housewife

From cocktail parties to cow-pat cakes: The Californian party girl, 41, who became a traditional Indian housewife after meeting farmer husband, 25, on Facebook

Leaving behind her 25-year-old daughter Lucy Cortez was a heart-wrenching moment, with many friends and family fearing for her safety in India. 
Mrs Kumar, whose parents moved to the U.S. from Mexico, said: ‘When I walked in and told everyone I had decided to leave and move to India, they were in complete shock.
‘My daughter was crying, she was in floods of tears. She was worried something bad would happen to me. 
‘She said India was unsafe for women. I had to turn to her and reassure her everything would be alright.

‘Some people thought Mukesh was a fake, an online scam and that he didn’t really exist. I can’t describe the moment I finally saw him at the arrivals gate at Indira Gandhi airport – it was a big relief to finally see him in person.’
But she admits nothing had prepared her for the culture shock she was about to experience.
Her new home was a modest farm house in Popran, a large village over 30 minutes drive from the nearest town.
Mrs Kumar found the family used cow pat cakes, made by drying out the excrement of the families herd, as fuel.
And with no inside toilet, a bucket for a shower and cows roaming around the communal area, the lack of amenities was tough to adapt to.

She added: ‘When I first stepped off the plane it was a complete culture shock.
‘It is stricter here – women have to cover up more.
‘In Haryana many people live off the land, there are few basic amenities. We cook on a stove which is outside, and my living room doubles as the place where we store the cows at night.
‘We sometimes use the bull and cart to ride around, and the toilet is a communal one. The shower is just a bucket in a closet sized room with a hole in the floor.
‘If people back home could see where I am living they would think I am crazy.
‘At first it was a real struggle, but soon you realise you don’t need a fancy toilet or power shower to be happy.’
One of the biggest challenges, says Adriana, was being accepted among the largely impoverished locals.

Mrs Kumar, who immediately ditched her favoured high heels and adopted sandals, saree and headdress, said: ‘Foreigners are rarely seen in the villages here, and wherever I went a crowd would develop all wanting to catch a glimpse of this outsider.
‘Over time I began to get used to it. It was a bit like being a celebrity, but they have accepted me as one of their own now.
‘A big part of that was dressing like they do and trying to speak some Hindi. In the U.S. I loved wearing high heels and dressing up for a night out at a club with my friends, but here things are more low key.
‘You can’t get any of the make-up I’m used to using and women generally don’t apply much of it anyway, it is an unnecessary cost.
‘The locals respond when you try and fit in and live as they live.’
In November 2013 Mukesh and Adriana tied the knot in a traditional Hindu ceremony, which made headlines in India’s national Hindi language media.
The event was a major occasion within the conservative community too – where women are still often expected to be doting housewives upon marriage and normally wed within their own religion and caste.

Mukesh, who speaks broken English, but is learning from his new wife, said: ‘Adriana is a good wife. 
‘She is always doing housework and if my mum is doing dishes she say, “No, I want to do – it is my job”.
‘I am very happy to marry with her. It is true love.’
Crucially for Mrs Kumar, her mother-in-law Bimla Devi, 70, has given the pair her blessings – and even endorsed her housewife skills.
Speaking in Hindi, Bimla said: ‘I am happy my son married a foreigner. She respects me. If he had married a girl from our village, she would probably not have respected me as much as Adriana does.
‘She works all the house too, I like her a lot.’

The couple now plan to have children together and build a family in India, but Adriana isn’t ruling out returning to the US one day.
She said: ‘I am actually planning to have children with Mukesh and my mother-in-law even wants me to have two.
‘I get on really well with all the family, Mukesh’s brothers and sisters, his uncles – they have all taken me to their hearts.
‘If I could bring the American food and luxuries here it would be perfect. But one day we would like to return to America with our family.

Making sure every face smiles By Tapsi Maitra-Vanvasi Kalyan Ashram

Girl hostels by Vanvasi Kalyan Ashram
Making sure every face smiles By Tapsi Maitra


The glorious and rich traditions, prosper and lush green forests, simple culture and unique identity are priceless legacy of Vanvasi areas of the country. The Akhil Bharatiya Vanvasi Kalyan Ashram has been working to preserve and promote this legacy through various activities since six decades. Education and hostel are complimentary to each other. It is the oldest and the most effective project of the Kalyan Ashram. Thousands of Vanvasi boys and girls are studying in different hostels being run in different parts of the country. The experiment of hostel proved to be very useful in the education of Vanvasi girls.

There are over 200 hostels run by Kalyan Ashram in the country. About 40 of them are exclusively for girls. Thousands of students are getting different kinds of education through these hostels. The first hostel for girls was opened in Jashpur Nagar in 1975 so that girls can contribute in nation building after getting proper education. The girls staying in the hostels of Raipur (Chhattisgarh), Gumla (Jharkhand) and Rudrapur (Uttarakhand) are getting education till post graduation. 

Some hostels also have arrangements for education till 12th class. Majority of the hostels provide education till 8th or 10th standard. All the girls are from Vanvasi communities. The number of girls in four to five hostels is 55 to 60 while majority of the hostels have 30 to 35 girls. All the hostels have a fixed daily routine which teach the girls some new thing everyday.

They get good samskars through morning prayer, physical activities, shakha, aarati, etc. The cultural activities presented on each Saturday expose and promote their hidden talent. There are special activities like Geeta paath, Ramayana paath, historical stories, different competitions, etc on Sundays so that they get different kinds of samskars.

The girls in Raipur and Rudrapur hostels are from north-eastern states. The girls who have interest in music are imparted the training of classical music. The training of many kinds of handicrafts is provided in the hostel of Rudrapur. The professors from Pantnagar University impart them this training. There is arrangement to impart • the training of cutting-tailoring, embroidery, knitting in several hostels. By and large every girl is tried to impart the training which she likes.

There are arrangements of coaching in every hostel. For physical development they are imparted the training of yoga, judo-karate, etc. There are good teams of kabaddi and kho-kho in several hostels. The training of traditional sport of Vanvasis i.e arrow and bow is also imparted to them. Apart from getting this kind of education many of the girls have become good activist of Kalyan Ashram. They actively participate in many organisational activities and also provide effective leadership to the people in their respective areas. In this way they are contributing in nation building also. 


Thank you!!!

Neither ‘Maiti’ nor Mayang’ – WE ALL ARE INDIANS

MANIPUR

Many healthy trends have been witnessed in north-east region through the Arogya Mitra scheme.

They are proving to be a key player in changing the mentality of the people. There is an incident of Manipur. The local people there call themselves ‘Maiti’. Those who have settled there from other parts of the country are called ‘Mayang’.

Sometime back a campaign was launched in the state to force the Mayangs to leave the state. Since this word was used as an abuse, it created a gulf between the Manipuri and non-Manipuri people. 

This mentality was dangerous for the national feeling. Therefore, it disturbed all the nationalists. The Sangh also has very good work in Manipur. There are thousands of trained workers all over the state. The swayamsevaks educated the people about the disastrous consequences of Mayang word. 

Ultimately the people stopped using this word and now the opposition of non-Manipuri people has reduced to a great extent. It is a big achievement on the part of the swayamsevaks. This also shows how positive change can be brought about in the society.

Jai Hind!!!

Advice to Daughters-Powerful & Educative too

An incident transpired when Muhammad Ali’s daughters arrived at his home wearing clothes that were quite revealing.

Here is the story as told by one of his daughters:
“When we finally arrived, the chauffeur escorted my younger sister, Laila, and me up to my father’s suite.
As usual, he was hiding behind the door waiting to scare us. We exchanged many hugs and kisses as we could possibly give in one day.

My father took a good look at us. Then he sat me down on his lap and said something that I will never forget. He looked me straight in the eyes and said, “Hana, everything that God made valuable in the world is covered and hard to get to.

Where do you find diamonds? Deep down in the ground, covered and protected.

Where do you find pearls? Deep down at the bottom of the ocean, covered up and protected in a beautiful shell.

Where do you find gold? Way down in the mine, covered over with layers and layers of rock. You’ve got to work hard to get to them.”

He looked at me with serious eyes. “Your body is sacred. You’re far more precious than diamonds and pearls, and you should be covered too.”
