The World of Raju Sharma

Rajesh, Allow me to write to you not as your senior colleague, but as one of your well wishers in the team I can see that you are facing some challenges in your life. Working in the muddied water of MSW itself is quite a challenge. Looking after the school, KGs, interacting with all sorts of people in the company is really tough and you are doing it well, I must say.... What I am worried about is your tension due to staying away from your family. I understand what you must be feeling staying away from young children and wife in Lucknow. Most importantly with your parents not staying with them, you must be feeling insecure. I just want to write to you that whatever the problems be, do open up and share. One may not be able to solve your problems, but atleast we can divide the problems between ourselves. I know you are a responsible father, son , husband and a professional. I want Rajesh Pandey to do well in life... Very Well Regards Raju

Friends In the year 2008 I have realised the importance of health. Nothing should/could be more important than a proper physical and mental health conditions. Since the last 6 months I have been attending the Sivananda Yoga Institiute located in Dwarka. I am into this power yoga for about 90 minutes , 4 times a week and the resluts have been stupendous. I have lost some weight, my regular headache and allergies have gone due to jal-neties and feel very postive. Folks start your yoga sessions soon. Raju

The weather is changing in Delhi. As the chill seeps in, I feel good about the place. Winters for me are enjoyable. Ma is not keeping well back home. She needs proper exercise and diet-something that she has not had for quite some time. Indian women in general have always neglected their own health and well being. "Families" have always preceded thier own interest and Ma has been one of the classic cases . All the complex problems arising out today is on account of failed relationships between each other. This is the most pressing problem that we have. I dont think terrorism, enviormental degradation or for that matter communal clashes are problems, rather they are just symtoms of a larger malise-failed ralationships. As human beings we have failed.

Dear Freinds, The MNS actions against North Indians in Maharastra warrants criticism by one and all. These actions are completely parochial in nature and should not be encouraged. If all states start throwing out citizens on the basis of birth places, it would result in complete mayhem. What do places like Delhi do, where people from almost everywhere live. This phenomenon of" locals" is being spread by narrow minded leaders for their own motives. Lets abstain from all these petty politics Raju

Friends in MSS, A short while from now, I leave for my favourite place in the world-Assam. A place where I was born and a place where I grew up learning lessons of love, friendship and managing relationships. As I played in the pristine beauty of Assam's rainfed fields, I discovered some of most magical moments of my life during my childhood And today as a mature adult, am not writing to you to describe the mesmerising beauty of the land. I thought I would share some of my magical moments here in MSS just before my departure. The year 2008 has been a period of great magical moment full of miracles in my life. 2008 marked a period when my life took me through a roller coaster ride of good, bad and ugly. In all my moments most of you guys where around. This page is just an ode to all the good men and women whom I crossed paths in my last one year in MSS. (oops this is not a parting letter though. am coming back han!) In MSS, I met people who influenced my life in more than one ways. ...

सिली हवा छू गई, सिला बदन छिल गया - २ नीली नदी के परे, पिला सा चाँद खिल गया सिलिहावा छू गई, सिला बदन छिल गया तुमसे मिली जो ज़िंदगी, हमने अभी बोयी नहीं - २ तेरे सिवाकोई न था, तेरे सिवा कोई नहीं सिली हवा छू गई, सिला बदन छिल गया ओह, आह जाने कहान्कैसे शहर लेके चला यह दिल मुझे - २ तेरे बगैर दिन न जला, तेरे बगैर शब न बुझे सिलिहावा छू गई, सिला बदन छिल गया जितने भी तै करते गए, बढ़ते गए यह फासले - २ मिलोंसे दिन छोड़ आए, सालों से रात लेके चले सिली हवा छू गई, सिला बदन छिल गया नीलिनादी के परे, पिला सा चाँद खिल गया http://www.smashits.com/music/ghazals/songs/5578/gulzar-pancham-vol-2.html Friends, This is one of the most beautiful songs of all times. Can listen to this any number of times. Sung by Lata Mangeskar, this is one of the collection from the album Libas. The expression of romance and sensuality is so beautifully weaved in these lines! Amazing. Imagine the beauty of the pale moon nestled across the blue river. Isn't it an expression of serene beauty between two lovers madly in love w...

Summer has set in, heralding the beginning of scorching days in Delhi. Days are merciless in this part of the country. The sun's fury is feared by human's and animals alike and there is very little you can do to fight the heat outside, except for seeking shelter inside the cool comforts of your home. Feel like packing up my bags and travel to the hills looking for some cool breeze. To my mind, one of the most beautiful hills that I can go is kasuali. Something magical about this land... Recently, we also went to a hill station called Nahan. .... 4 days of complete masti...
