ऐश्वर्या रानी बिलकुल छोटी

Missing my daughter whom I am going to join next week after more than a month. Skype and VoIP are wonderful but cannot replace the emotional hugs and touch.
Another poem dedicated to her in my 100th blog post.


मात-पिता की प्यारी बेटी
ऐश्वर्या रानी बिलकुल छोटी
दुबली पतली जरा न मोटी
बाल में उसके हैं दो चोटी

नयन मनोहर सुन्दर गोटी
दांते जैसे चमचम मोती
पूरी हुयी है सारी मनौती
है अब आँखों की वो ज्योति

किसी से भी जरा न डरती
खूब शरारत करती रहती
चोट लगे तो जरा सा रोती
गले लगा लो चुप हो जाती

भूख लगे तो खाती रोटी
नींद आये तो कही भी सोती
मीठे सपनों में फिर खोती
जागे जब लेती नयी चुनौती

Conceived, future leaders of Bihar!


First ever Patna marathon still remains a dream. Why this happened is not so important. Important is to learn from this and have better planning and preparation for next time.

What makes Facebook different is its ability to perform and extremely stressful conditions where it handles gracefully "hundreds of millions of requests per second". An ordinary site usually does not even survive thousand requests per second. Thats makes Facebook different and extraordinary. Same is true with human.

It will be interesting to see if team PM will break into pieces, listen to the energy suckers, start pointing at one another, lose all the hope and interest and give up eventually. Alternatively, they will withstand this acid test and come up stronger and convert this adversity into opportunity and doom into a boom. Swami Vivekanand has said "Each work has to pass through these stages — ridicule, opposition, and then acceptance". A infinite zeal and courage to pass through all of these stages.

Dr. Harivansh Rai "Bachchan" said "मन का हो तो अच्छा, ना हो तो ज्यादा अच्छा". If your wish come true, it's good. If not, even better as that is God's wish. And he has different plans for you". Few days back team PM has informed that they need to arrange Rs. 15 lakhs as some key sponsors backed off. There wee many other concerns raised every now and then. I believe that happens with every event and continues even after endlessley. The need is to identify those risks and have proper mitigation strategy.

Also as lot of people have donated to this cause, it will be good idea to ask them if they would like to make the account statements public and give them option to have the money. Another idea is to fix the money for may be 100 days or under another guaranteed scheme.

The positive side is that PM initiative (in subsequent to BEN) has built hope and brought the dreamers together which will lead the foundation of dream Bihar where every corner will have non-stop electricity, fast internet, abundant employment opportunities, quality hospitals, schools and roads. In short, we have health, wealth and harmony for everyone.

Dream Bihar and dream India will not be built by incompetent leaders who became so because of luck, charisma or buttering and mostly claim development on paper and indulge themselves in extreme corruption, deceiptful illusion, skilled indirection, total inaction, umpteen pretention, neverending procrastination character assasination, might demonstration and so on. The need is that we get millions of star instead of one sun or superstar. Single superstar trend leads to parasitism which have been hurting state and country consistently.

PM/BEN movements have conceived and connected the future leaders of Bihar, thousands of shining stars. The kind of energy, motivation, cooperation and harmony demonstrated has been incredible, laudable and most welcome. By leaders I mean not only limited to political leadership but in broader aspects like visionary, entrepreneur, social, achievers leaders.

I wish everyone for a better tomorrow!

Finally a poem dedicated to the ideal leaders.

नेता

आपका नेता वो हो
जो पढ़ा लिखा हो
आपका सच्चा सखा हो|

जिसमें प्रदेश के विकास की ललक हो
जिसके सपनों में आपके सपनों की झलक हो|

जिसके रग रग में आत्मविश्वास हों
जिसमें बसा आपका विश्वास हो|

जिसके सीने में इन्साफ हो
और जिसकी छवि साफ़ हों|

जिसका गगन-चुम्बी स्वाभिमान हो
जिसके पास समस्यों का समाधान हों|

जिसकी भुजाये विशाल हो
जिसके खून में उबाल हो|

धर्मं एवं जाति की नीती जिसकी रूचि न हो
विकास के मार्ग पर जिससे त्रुटि न हो|

जो आपके कंधे से कन्धा मिला के चले
जो आपके संग फुले फले|

न की वो जो सिर्फ अपना कल्याण करे
और सिर्फ परिजनों का उत्थान करे|

आपका नेता वो हो
जो पढ़ा लिखा हो
आपका सच्चा सखा हो|

पटना तुझसे नाता है गहरा

A song dedicated to my home town Patna. I have deep attachment with patna. Patna gave me many things and took away many things as well! Still home town is home town! I love Patna!



पटना तुझसे
नाता है गहरा
याद मुझे तेरा
सतरंगा चेहरा
कभी कभी
खुशियों का सेहरा
कभी दुःख का
घना सा कोहरा|

होली जलाना
रंग लगाना
दिया जलाना
फटाके चलाना
सरस्वतीपूजा में
चंदा जुटाना
ईद और छठ में
गलियों को सजाना|

गाँधी मैदा में
खेले खिलखिलाए
राजेंद्र घाट पर
अकेले आशु गिराए
काली घाट पे
पुष्प बहायें
बुद्ध घाट पे
कूदे नहाये|

साईकिल से निकला
कर कोई बहाना
यारपुर,अंटघाट
से लेके सब्जी लाना
लोयला, मिलर,
जादूघर आना जाना
तारामंडल, चिरियाखाना
हवाईअड्डा कभी ठिकाना|

बेलीरोड, बोरिंगरोड
फिर गंगा किनारा
अशोक राजपथ से
चला सिटी गुरुद्वारा
कंकडबाग, राजेंद्रनगर
चला कारवां हमारा
चिड़ियाटांड, गर्दनीबाग,
बुधमार्ग में घंटो गुजारा|

दीघा मालदह के
पेड़ो पर लटकना
गंगा के तट पर
यारों को पटकना
मंदिरी की तंग
गलियों में भटकना
गुपचुप खाना
इखरस गटकना|

चनाचूर, सोनपापड़ी,
खाजा, बताशा
कोज़ी मनेर का याद
स्वाद हमेशा
पाल, वसंत विहार का
स्वादिष्ट सा डोसा
लिट्टी, समोसा
कुल्फी,अनरसा |

जी कहता है
लौट के आऊ
बीता जीवन
फिर से दोहराऊ
एक दिन शायद
ऐसा हो जाये
फिर से पटना
घर हो जाये|

जीवन किस्मत
का है मोहरा
काम काज का
हर पल मुझपर पहरा
जब तू पुकारे
बनू में बहरा
पटना तुझसे
नाता है गहरा|

पटना तुझसे
नाता है गहरा|

- अमिताभ रंजन झा

Other version:

पटना तुझसे मेरा नाता बड़ा ही गहरा है याद मुझे तेरा सतरंगा चेहरा है|
कही यादों में खुशियों का सेहरा है कही दुःख का घना सा कोहरा है|

कभी होली जलाया रंग लगाया है कभी दिए जलाके फटाके चलाया है।
सरस्वती पूजा में चंदा जुटाया है पूजा के बाद गंगा में मूर्ति भंसाया है।

छठ में गली साफ़ कर के सीरीज लाइट से सजाया है सडको पर उजला वाला बालू बिछाया है|
ईद - बकरीद संग मिल के मनाया है एक दुसरे को गले भी लगाया है।

गाँधी मैदान में खेला खिलखिलाया है राजेंद्र घाट पर श्रद्धा के आंशु गिराया है।
काली घाट में हमने पुष्प बहाया है बुद्धघाट में जमके कूदा नहाया है|

दानापुर से सिटी तक साईकिल चलाया है बारिश में भींगा नहाया है।
मंदिरी, कंकडबाग, अशोक राजपथ, हवाई अड्डा को पैदल ही नापा है। .

आम अमरुद के पेड़ो के फुनगी पर लटका है गंगा के तट पर यारों को पटका है
मंदिरी की तंग गलियों में भटकनाहै गुपचुप खाना इखरस गटकना है|

चनाचूर, सोनपापड़ी, खाजा, बताशा है कोज़ी मनेर का याद स्वाद हमेशा है।
पाल, वसंत विहार का स्वादिष्ट साडोसा है लिट्टी, समोसा कुल्फी,अनरसाहै|

चनाचूर, सोनपापड़ी, खाजा, बताशा कुल्फी, लिट्टी, समोसा, अनरसा याद आता है।
कोज़ी, मनेर, वसंत विहार, मौर्या लोक, उमा मोना, वीणा, अशोक भूले न भुलाता है।

जीवन किस्मत का मोहरा है काम काज का हर पल मुझपर पहरा है।
जब तू पुकारे दिल बनता बहरा है पटना तुझसे मेरा नाता बड़ा ही गहरा है|

जी कहता है लौट के आऊ बीता जीवन फिर से दोहराऊ।
एक दिन शायद ऐसा हो जाये फिर से पटना घर हो जाये|

पटना तुझसे मेरा नाता बड़ा ही गहरा है पटना तुझसे मेरा नाता बड़ा ही गहरा है|

सपनो का शहर बैंगलोर


I am indebted to Bangalore as my career prospered here!
A poem dedicated to the city of dreams and hope "Bangalore"!

सपनो का शहर
बैंगलोर एकदम
नम्मा बेंगलुरु
आबाद रहे हरदम|

एक झोला लेके
आये थे कभी हम
चिंता थी थोड़ी ज्यादा
सपने थे थोड़े कम|

पहला कदम रखते ही
प्यार हो गया
बैंगलोर के मौसम से
इकरार हो गया|

नौकरी की तलाश ने
शहर घुमा दिया
पल पल के संघर्ष ने
पक्का बना दिया|

बैंगलोर थैंक्यू
सब कुछ मुझे दिया
बैंगलोर थैंक्यू
जीवन बना दिया|

प्रगति, समृधि, अमन
का संगम बना रहे
दिल से करू दुआ
बैंगलोर बढ़ता रहे|

अब सपने थोड़े ज्यादा
चिंता है बिल्कुम कम
सपनो का शहर हैं
बैंगलोर एकदम|

-अमिताभ रंजन झा

God bless Bangalore!

Translation for the Hindi Poem for non-Hindi speaking friends
"SAPNO KA SHAHAR BANGALORE", "The City Of Dreams, Bangalore"

City of dreams for sure Bangalore
may live for forever our Bangalore

I arrived here with bag tiny one
had lot of worries and dreams little some

With the very first step I fell in love mate
I liked so much green Bangalore's climate

Job hunt made me see entire Bangalore
Continuous struggle made me solid galore

You gave me everything thanks Bangalore
You made my life thanks Bangalore

Development, Prosperity and Harmony should flow
I pray from my heart that Bangalore always grow

Today dreams are bigger, worries little some
in the garden city of dreams, Bangalore number one

Bihar needs better business condition for investors


Today, Mr. R. K. Singh, the CEO of SPR Group asked a question on Facebook: "Long awaited meeting of SIPB was scheduled for 14th Feb and postponded at last moment where over 113 applications are pending for approval. Investors are running behind industry department for the same since Aug 2011 as last meeting was held on 28thSep11 in which applications till July were taken up. Bihar is developing and became investors friendely?"

Truely frustrating!

Being an aspiring entrepreneur and small investor in IT Sector, I believe that Bihar can become important outsourcing destination in no time as you can get a resource for as low as 5000-10000 a month. However I can see some loose end which I faced personally and that need to be fixed. Unlike from big investors, small/medium investors are least tolerant and less equipped to handle adverse conditions, negligence, exploitations. This is loss for Bihar.

Let us see how the Global Summit on Changing Bihar 2012 is going to affect Bihar. Bihar spends lot of money every year for branding but private investment is not hapening as expected. At least let us hope for some results now. Otheriwse this year too prominent person invited on tax payers money will deliver their message and go back. The real investors who will attend the summit on their personal cost will continue to be in dilemma!

Another point is that trying to attract big investers is good thing. Big projects will have bigger time line of setup and prodcution and cuase greater growth for Bihar in long run. Additionally, focus should be on small investors as well.

Thousands of small investors residing out of Bihar have ideas, small seed funds and keen interest to invest in Bihar. They can significantly contribute in real growth of Bihar and they can start real quick. For that is required encouraging business conditions absolutely free of sarkari babu attitude.

Additionally, some views from my previous blog "Why companies will come to Bihar": "State Investment Promotion Board (SIPB) Bihar serves as the Single Window Agency for project approvals. Try googling about it, you will not find much meaningful information like contact, address, how, what, functions, procedures, clarification etc. A dedicated website would be required backed by powerful workflow system. So that investment proposals can made online and tracked till closure. A dedicated call center with online chat will help and attract startup investors as well."
