Because of you

Because of you
My world is now whole,
Because of you
Love lives in my soul.
Because of you
I have laughter in my eyes,
Because of you
I am no longer afraid of good-byes.
You are my pillar
My stone of strength,
With me through all seasons
And great times of length.
My love for you is pure
Boundless through space and time,
It grows stronger everyday
With the knowledge that you'll always be mine.
At the altar
I will joyously say 'I do',
For I have it all now
And it's all because of you.

Realization

Often we take things foregranted
Forget to care, that is demanded
Every moment has its importance
We often show negligence
Never try to lend our hand
When some one is in its demand
Now foolish we are
Waiting for a moment to laugh
May be its our last meet
And never we will be together
Then why not we enjoy every second
And have love for everyone.

Oh! Mother

To a big lining world
God has gifted kind hearted mother,
Who always think to care of others
She is loving
None along us, with lot of blessings
She is so kind one.
Perhaps who come from heavens
She is soft like pure lotion
Never let her child to down at the bottom
Supporting everyone with lot of spirit
Don't let her sorrows to expose before others,
She is so calm and swift
I really thank to God for this precious gift.

Q: Friendship is the golden thread that ties all the hearts together. Comment?
A: Friendship cannot be measured by any parameters because it is love without wings and again the friendship cannot be had by merely wishing it. It occurs like the love at first sight. Hence friendship should always be taken as friendship, nothing more, nothing less.
VERINDER KUMAR, SHIV NAGAR
Q: Woh Afsana Jise Anjam Tak Lana Ho Na-Mumkin; Use Ik Morh Dekar Chhodna Achha. Please comment?
A: Since all the fictions cannot be prepared for a happy landing, one should stop it after giving a twist of things so as to make it more reasonable and viable conclusion. This is what you have asked for, but life is not merely an Afsana. It is hard reality of life that one is to live it despite odds without questioning the pros and cons of the happenings around.
HARDEV MANHAS, KASTIGARH
Q: What is difference between a killing and a murder?
A: Killing may be an instaneous reaction of a person due to provocation to the extent, but the murder comes under the category of a planned schemes of things to eliminate a person. And there lies the difference.
RAJESH SINGH, KASTIGARH
Q: What is the importance of Physics and Chemistry in Medical Entrance Examination, where all the subjects should be related to biology?
A: The questions in the Entrance Examination are asked only to judge the IQ of a person appearing for any competitive examination and those who fail to qualify are termed as failures. And there lies the difference.
SURAJ DEV, BISHNAH
Q: Every year the preparations for Durbar Move start about two months before the actual Durbar Move and the City is given a festive look and decorated like a bride. It was not understood that why regular face-lift cannot be given to Jammu city which holds the status of being Winter Capital of the State?
A: It has become customary to paint all the roads of the city in black and after every six months to welcome the Secretariat at Jammu, but a hundred million question arises as that what compels the authorities to awake from the deep slumber after every six months at the time of Durbar Move? The authorities should have always been keen to keep the winter capital city neat and clean throughout the year but that was not happening. Any Tom Dick and Harry can understand the rationale behind this cleansing move because a large sums of amount are being pocketed on the name of this exercise every year.
ARUN GUPTA, REHARI
Q: We often come across news items like "Army organizes medical camp"; Yoga Camp concludes", "Eye Camp concludes" and "Free Medical Diagnostic camp concludes" etc. What is the use of these news items after conclusion of these events, while the public should have prior information about conducting of such like camps?
A: Your question holds enough weight that public should have prior information about such camps being held, but I would like to mention that all such camps are organized mainly by NGOs which have no or very little amount for advertisement and that they have their own person to person network to provide before-hand information to the concerned people.
B L RAINA, GOLE GUJRAL
Q: I found you always chewing betel leaf "Paan". Comment?
A: You might have come across some one else because I don’t chew betel leaves or for that matter the "PAAN", as stands mentioned in your question, because I find very little or no time to stand before a betel shop, after accomplishing my job late in the evening.
TENZEN PINTOO, PADDER
Q: About the process of working in Civil Secretariat, I have learnt that orders regarding posting and allotment of works are done on monetary basis, besides others who have enough of approach in corridors of power manage their scheme of things accomplished, while a common justified person always remains at a receiving end. What should a common person do?
A: Governments are formed on promises to the common people which turn out to be false when it comes to their turning into reality. Not just an individual candidate, but the political parties promise moon to electorates, which is never possible but for the politicians coming to the power is the naked reality. The people vote the leaders for getting ameliorated their lot but in return they are given bundles of assurances but practically nothing oozes out from their coffers for common people. And that is politics of India in general and of Jammu and Kashmir in particular.
RAMA GUPTA, BISHNAH
Q: A coin is easy to earn, a friend like you is hard to find. The coin depreciates but a friend like you appreciates the participants. Endorse your views?
A: Earlier it used to be said that ‘a friend in need is a friend indeed’ but now-a-days the definition of a friend has changed. Now can well say that ‘A friend indeed is a friend in need’ and you become the friend to help out the friend in need because when you would need a friend none would be found along with you to help out.
AASHNA DADHURAL, ROWN DOMAIL
Q: Is it true that only India is a country having different seasons like summer, winter, autumn and spring? And if it is true then why?.
A: India is a country which is called unity in diversity and like its diverse customs and traditions its seasons are also unique providing the people of North, East, West and South distinct weathers around the year, because when in North the people are under the grip of severe winter experiencing snowfall, the people along western coasts and the south can be seen loitering with a Lungi and Under-shirt. India is not unique as far as weather is concerned because even in United States, when NEw York is under severe chill of winter season, the people in Los Angels can be found taking sun bath along beaches to tan up their skin etc.
SUBASH MAGOTRA, R DOMAIL
Q: Examinations are a necessary evil, then why everybody, big or small, intelligent or dull, are scared of these?
A: It is very simple because possessing capabilities and proving the same before others is always cumbersome. When put to test even a master of things may prove to be a jack of all trades.
GAZI SYEED BUKHARI, GOOL
In India Dussehra and Navratras are celebrated with great zeal. India defeated Australia in 20-Twenty what do you think about that?
A: Religious activities are a matter of faith, but games and sports have nothing to do with them. In sports any team or for that matter an individual may perform well on a given day and any team playing well on that very particular day must be appreciated, but sports activities should never be linked with religious faith.
YOGESHWAR SHARMA, JAMMU
Q: People says, "A leaf cannot move with out the will of God, so why the people get jailed for years together for bad work even if that was God who prompted them to do do the evil. Comment?
A: If at all we are God fearing persons then we must keep in mind that we all human beings have been created to do good deeds. If we commit a sin or a crime, we must never term it as will of God and instead remain prepared for the consequences for the wrongs having done by us.
ROHINI K GUPTA, REHARI
Q: If we are to make progress we must not repeat history but make new history. Comment?
A: Doing something extra-ordinary enables us to create history and it is the point where we can establish ourselves as distinguished ones from others, for, repeating history would land us of no-where.
