“Courage isn't having the strength to go on - it is going on when you don't have strength.”  ―  Napoleon Bonaparte I met suresh Kesarwani when we were distributing pamphlets against the financial bungling going on in the regional cancer center at A llahabad.He along with his ten year old daughter and a social worker was going to meet the District Magistrate to seek some sort of support for his daughter who was a blood cancer patient.Suresh is a gas delivery hawker,he feels shy ,barely speaks to us the social worker who is a housewife told us how they were running from pillar to post to get some financial aid so that they could save the life of that little girl. As days passed and we frequently visited government offices for help I saw this man's courage,his pain and his love for his little daughter.He sold everything he had to get his daughter treated, knocked every door.He never cared if he will get any help,he just kept trying. We were presently surprised to see his...

इलाहाबाद का माहोल उत्तर प्रदेश की जादा तर शहरों की तरह पिछले एक हफ्ते से तनाव ग्रस्त था। जिस शहर में पिछले कई महीनों से आरक्षण की आग थी वहां अब धरम के नाम पे तनाव था। जादा तर लोगों को इस मुद्दे से कुछ लेना देना नहीं था। लोगों को उत्सुकता थी की आखिर यह है क्या। प्रदेश के जादातर जिले इस समय बाड़ से ग्रस्त हैं ,हाहाकार मची है ,जहाँ पिछले २ दशक से बाड़ नहीं आयी थी इस साल वहां भी बाड़ है। लोगों का सबकुछ खतम हो गया है ,पर एक फिक्स्ड मैच के तेहत सपा और भाजपा  यात्रा -यात्रा खेल रहे है। अब अगर संप्रादियक दंगे होंगे तभी तो वोट बटेंगे। इलाहाबाद शहर में कुंभ मेले के नाम पे ना जाने कितन पैसा खर्च किया गया निकास के नाम पे ,पर सारा पानी शहर के अन्दर घुस गया। पता नहीं किस चीज़ का निकास हुआ।  बहरहाल एक चीज़ जान के तस्सली हुई की आज लोगों को धरम और जाती के नाम पे बाटना उतना आसान नहीं रह गया। येही शहर है जहाँ पहले सम्पर्दियिक दंगे आम थे। लेकिन आज के युवक जागरूक है ,उसे सही गलत का पता है। उसे अपने हित के लिए इस्तमाल करना अब इन नेताओं के लिए इतना आसान नहीं है। आज का यूवा अपना हक जनता है और उ...

curious case of the Missing BPL cards in Mira Road: food security or scam security

Image
I would like to share a curiuos case of missing BPL cards in mira road,because of our agitation against the funds meant for handicapped gone missing, we came across a group of around fifty families  of handicapped people who were living in a basti. As anyone can guess these people were barely able to make their ends meet,they did not have clean water,sanitation or even electricity in their basti. This basti was made by the Municipal corporation to accommodate them till the time they found an alternative.This was a part of government land which was meant for open space,on numerous occasions their huntments were burn in mysterious fires that gutted the whole area.These people claimed that it was done on purpose since they ruin the picture perfect view of the locality which has a lot of skyscrapers and since some brand new projects are coming up,the builders dont want this basti in the vicinity. Anyhow since we had taken up the cause to get justice to them including sanitation,emplo...
