every moment that passes has a message but we tend to distort the guide of the moment to the tune of our thinking that it becomes irrelevant..we misinterpret individuality then but we seldom realize..but the message remains the same..we need to go beyond..alas! we seldom go..
The best way to know the self is feeling oneself at the moments of reckoning. The feeling of being alone, just with your senses, may lead you to think more consciously. More and more of such moments may sensitize ‘you towards you’, towards others. We become regular with introspection and retrospection. We get ‘the’ gradual connect to the higher self we may name Spirituality or God or just a Humane Conscious. We tend to get a rhythm again in life. We need to learn the art of being lonely in crowd while being part of the crowd. A multitude of loneliness in mosaic of relations! One needs to feel it severally, with conscience, before making it a way of life. One needs to live several such lonely moments. One needs to live severallyalone.

KAILASH SATYARTHI VS KAILASH VIJAYVARGIYA: NOBEL MUSINGS OF ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES
Debating if joint
Peace Nobel an Indian and a Pakistani could bring India and Pakistan to good
terms when its ministers don't know who Kailash Satyarthi is!!
Since October 10 when it was announced, the implications and
prospects of an Indian and a Pakistani sharing the Peace Nobel were being
debated regularly. On December 10, when the award presentation ceremony was
being held in Oslo, it made for one of the major headlines again.
Now, Malala Yousafzai is not in Pakistan and no one knows when
she would be able to return to her country given the kind of religious
orthodoxy there that is hostile to the thoughts of equality of women.
But Kailash Satyarthi is very much in India. His whole life and
activism has been in India. Yes, he was not widely known. But his outreach
increased manifold after the Peace Nobel announcement that he was awarded
jointly with Malala on December 10.
But it seems he is still not widely known, to the extent that
politicians and ministers from his own state know him by his work and name.
It was funny and interesting and good enough for satirical
slapstick stuff.
Incidentally, some politicians and ministers of Madhya Pradesh,
the state Kailash Satyarthi comes from, congratulated Kailash Vijayvargiya,
urban administration and development minister of Madhya Pradesh, who is also
known for making controversial and 'in bad social taste' statements regularly,
for 'receiving' the Nobel Peace Prize.
A report in Hindustan Times wrote: Minister for animal
husbandry, food processing and public health engineering Kusum Mehadele, tribal
welfare minister Gyan Singh and a few MLAs lauded 'Kailash Vijayvargiya's
achievements' saying it is a matter of pride for the state and their
fraternity.
Another minister observed that his party had many other worthy
contenders of the award and they should also get it while congratulating
Vijayvargiya.
One of them saw work done by Vijayvargiya in Indore as the
reason behind Nobel Committee’s decision while the other one tried to reach
closer to make his answer as logical as possible, as far as his wisdom allowed
him, saying Mr. Vijayvargiya got the award as a result of his extensive social
work. We need to dig more to know on Nobel Committee’s connection with Indore!
The ignorance was bliss not just for Vijayvargiya’s party
members, Bhartiya Janata Party. A Bahujan Samaj Party MLA (member of the legislative
assembly) mused: Vijayvargiya could get Nobel only because of his party’s
government in the state as well as at the centre otherwise his work was not up
to the stature of the Nobel Prize.
Though Nobel is an annual talking point, we will find ‘plenty’
of happy and wise Indians including their elected representatives bathing in the
sea of ‘blissful’ ignorance on what a Nobel Peace Prize is. Deliberating on the
fine print behind the decision to ‘select the recipients’ is a natural far cry
in such cases.
And we are debating the nuances of the decision of the five-member
Norwegian Nobel Committee to award jointly an Indian, Kailash Satyarthi, and a
Pakistani, Malala Yousafzai, the Peace Nobel 2014.
We are debating if the joint Peace Nobel decision to an Indian
and a Pakistani could bring India and Pakistan to good terms when its ministers
and representatives, elected to make and implement policies to run the state at
its various levels of governance, don't know who Kailash Satyarthi is, an
activist with a long career and from their own state, not even after October
10, 2014, when his name was announced for the Nobel Peace Prize and he was on
TV channels and in newspapers. Even a one-on-one with Narendra Modi could not
help Mr. Satyarthi to become a ‘heard’ name for the dignitaries!
A random survey among the elected representatives at all levels,
in all states and at Union, for sure, would return with interesting and
insightful information. These hilarious video clips are self-explanatory. Watch it and work on your thoughts with the smile it brings.
