Jai Ganesh, jai Ganesh, jai Ganesh deva

Mata jaki Parvati, pita Mahadeva.

Ek dant dayavant, char bhuja dhari
Mathe par tilak sohe, muse ki savari
Pan chadhe, phul chadhe, aur chadhe meva
Ladduan ka bhog lage, sant kare seva.

Jai Ganesh, jai Ganesh, jai Ganesh deva,
Mata jaki Parvati, pita Mahadeva...

Andhan ko ankh det, kodhin ko kaya
Banjhan ko putra det, nirdhan ko maya
Surya shaam sharan aye, safal kije seva.

Jai Ganesh, jai Ganesh, jai Ganesh deva,
Mata jaki Parvati, Pita Mahadeva...

Let's start the Ganapati Festival with Ganapati Vandana...

Wish you all a very Happy Ganeshotsav !!!

The curse of Bihar roared again. Kosi won the scuffle as nature had its own plan to rebuke the rowdiness way of life. People lost everything as they didn’t follow the rules of nature. Nation surrendered its arm, its power, to this disaster. Supaul stifled, Araria admitted defeat, Madhepura mourned, Saharsa sobbed but India laughed, laughed on its weakness, laughed on its dejection.Today as authorities struggle to cope up with the situation, Indian Army has stepped into bringing relief to 41 Lacks of marooned people.It makes it the biggest relief operation world has ever seen.

Government authorities ran away as they had to save their own life. After 13 days, it was decided to send more troops from Indian army. They started their road journey from Delhi to reach affected areas. It would surely take 4-5 more days for them to reach their. After 13 days, Indian government decided to deport more boats and they landed to Purnia airport. The disaster was declared as nation tragedy but there’s no involvement of nation yet. There are many villages where people are trapped from last 13 days. They are weeping, crying but there’s no sign of a new life for them. Above points illustrate the seriousness of authorities.

I enquired about government’s appeal for relief fund. I enquired through their website but there’s no information there. I wrote an email to Chief Minister Mr. Nitish Kumar about this. I urged him to make sure that all this information is published on the official website of Bihar Government. It would help people to donate money and other useful things.

Meanwhile you can donate your money to Chief Minister’s Relief Fund:

1. Write a Cheque to

A/C Name: “Chief Minister Relief Fund, Bihar” A/C No: 10839124928

Disaster relief State Control Room Number:: 91-612-2217305/2215027/6452572

Apart from this we can also help through different private organizations like:

1. Make your cheaque/DDs payable to "Zee Foundation" and send it to Zee Foundation, FC – 19, Sector 16A, Noida 201301 – Please mentioned in a letter that it is for Bihar Relief Fund.

Do you know about the biggest tragedy of recent world’s civilization?
Do you know about the largest relief mission of the world?
Do you know about the biggest rescue operation India has ever seen?

Perhaps many of us are not aware of it. There’s nothing surprising in this. When we have a senseless part of our body we don’t even realize whether any ant is biting there or there’s any thorn nipped in. When any part becomes useless and starts creating problems for other functional parts, doctors advise to cut that part from our body. The same is happening with Bihar now. It’s a useless, functionless part of India which always creates problem for entire country. It adds no value to the nation and Biharis are always dejected from other parts of India. I’m really surprised to know that nobody has yet demanded to cut this part. I would suggest other fellow Indians to please raise this issue now. Bihar has nothing great to offer and these people are thieves, dacoits, uncivilized and know only dirty politics. Why they should be allowed to be part of India?

You must be surprised to read this from me. But, I’m deeply saddened to write this. I’m really downhearted to see no response, no reaction from any part of India about the worsening situation of Bihar, which has erupted because of a natural disaster and bad foreign policy of India. I said natural disaster because it’s flood and rain that has created the problem. I said bad foreign policy because it’s the Indian government’s policy to deal with Nepal on these issues. It has been a problem for Bihar from hundreds of years but still there’s no solution. There’s no control of water in Nepal and most of the rivers of Bihar come from there. We need to talk seriously. If Nepal can’t manage it, we need our own investment to improve the water control functions.

Today, 41 Lacks people are suffering this disaster of flood. Kosi, which is also called as the curse of Bihar has changed its root again after 200 years. You can imagine when a river is changing its path and flowing to a new root where people are residing a normal life. Government needs to evacuate 41 lacks people from these areas to take them out to a safer place. There’s no sufficient help from any authority. Bihar government is alone struggling with this largest tragedy of the world. People are dying because of water, food, medicine but it’s a hard truth that only Bihar government can’t provide relief to 41 Lacks people and especially when they are spread across 15 districts. There’s continuous rain which is causing problem for helicopters to operate. Food packets is not reaching at correct places as everywhere there’s water and only water.

We need involvement of Indian Army in larger extent. We need food packets. We need medicines. We need plastics. And most important we need boats to boost our rescue operation. We need so many things but getting nothing. I remember when a small boy Prince was trapped in the well, entire nation was praying for it, even I prayed to him. And why not, he is a child of our nation. We should pray for his wellness. But, today when 41 Lacks people are trapped and on the verge of dying there’s no help from anybody. Forget about help, nobody is even praying for them. Shall I say it’s only because they are BIHARIS?

Hinglish is the hottest portmanteau in the northern and central India today. Bole to ye Hinglish is rocking. It gives you flexibility to use Hindi and English with same fun and masti. Woh kahte hain na saanskritik milan gives a new dimension to the world and that’s what happening with this new Hinglish Culture. Pehle to sirf urban youths were using it but abhi everybody is trapped with this magic. Even in villages you will find people saying “Singh is Kinng me Akshay Kumar ki acting was great”. Matlab ki ees nayi bhasha ka jadu is spreading like anything.

Yaha to hum India ki baat kar rahe the but some experts feel that the growing popularity of Hinglish can even conquer the entire world. People around the world have already started using words like Chai, gora, jungli, desi, etc.

We all too use Hinglish in a larger extent. Hum "Jab we Met" ko like hi nahi karte but we promote it too. So, how about writing some of our favorite Hinglish statement here. N haan humesha ki tarah we’ll have prizes for that.

Let’s celebrate Hinglish culture on Mouthshut.

Life is the first gift, love is the second, and understanding the third after that we have some virtual gifts on Mouthshut. We all love to receive as many gifts as possible but perhaps many people don’t know about different choices we have. How about sharing the list of our favorite gifts and gifts we would never like to receive. It would help our MS friends to understand which GIFT is suitable for which member. Please note that you have to give your preferences from the gifts present on MS.

I have two very nice quotations for two gifts present on MS.

A hug is the perfect gift; one size fits all, and nobody minds if you exchange it.

A book is a gift you can open again and again.

Your choices please..

When Lord Rama defeated Ravana in historical battle of Lanka, Lakshman, Lord Rama's brother asked him to settle in that beautiful city of Lanka which was supposedly made of bricks of Gold. This is the actual quote from Valmeeki Ramayan of Lord Rama's answer to Lakshmana's request.

api swarnamayee lankaa na me Lakshmana rochate
janaanee janmabhoomishcha swargaadapi gareeyasee

O Lakshmana, I don't like Lanka though made up of gold
(because) mother & motherland are greater than heaven..
