The Wish & The Battle Inside

Moving on... is what you say but for me it was a ' bereavement'. This is what happens to me when I get connected. Is connection good or bad? Depends... how you take it. For me connection comes from heart. I came here with a friend and when I left I had so many people around me who brought tears in my eyes while saying goodbye. Being a man I had to control my emotions and move on without tears in my eyes...  MOVE ON.   This is the second time when I felt like moving away from family...  Nitin Sir you became a father figure for me. Prashant Sir that calmness you carried, you are a gem. Ketan Sir practicality and compassion... my first PM. Prem Sir for being there, a brother whom I never had, a brother who fought with me, debated with me. Sudip, Vinit, Sid for being the friends who kept me alive, my naughtiness going... you smiled at my first imperfection, I adopted that imperfection as a part of me, and captured your smiles. Yogesh, Jaspal, Giridhar, Kolan for being my...

ये जो आज़ादी है वो अभी अधूरी है, पराई है, इस आज़ादी पर तो शहीदों की भी आंख भर आई है || उन्होंने क्रांति की मशाल से देश को आज़ादी दिलाई थी, सपना था उनका देश को मशाल से रोशन करने का, हमने तो उस मशाल से देश को आग लगाई है | ये जो आज़ादी है वो अभी अधूरी है, पराई है, इस आज़ादी पर तो शहीदों की भी आंख भर आई है || वादा है मेरा ऐ आज़ादी मैं तुझको ढूंढ लाऊंगा, क्रांति की एक मशाल मैं भी जलाऊंगा.. राख कर दूंगा उसमे मैं बुराई और पाप का नामोनिशान मिटा दूंगा भ्रष्टाचार के दाग का.. चीर के रख दूंगा छाती उसकी जो तुझे विभाजित करेगा एक युद्ध अंग्रेजो से था अब अन्याय से युद्ध मैं लडूंगा. न आतंकी राज होगा, न पैसे की माया चलेगी देश है ये मेरा ये, इसमें शांति और प्यार की गंगा बहेगी.. खेत में किसान के सफलता की फसल लह-लहराएगी मजदूर जब मेहनत करेगा तो खुशियाँ उसके आँगन आएँगी.. ये जो आज़ादी है वो अभी अधूरी है, पराई है, इस आज़ादी पर तो शहीदों की भी आंख भर आई है || वादा है मेरा ऐ आज़ादी मैं तुझको ढूंढ लाऊंगा, क्रांति की एक मशाल मैं भी जलाऊंगा अब तो आज़ादी का जशन मैं तब ही मनाऊंगा...

(My last speech at Hexmaster's; the first time when I spoke and heard my own voice and felt that yes I can address the people. It had my feelings and concerns which I expressed in my blogs. This is not my best speech; the best will be the one when instead of me, the people will speak. But nonetheless it is a beginning..) Master of Ceremony, Evaluators, Fellow HexMasters, Respected Guests, Good Afternoon – I am Rajat Maheshwari – and I will be giving my organized speech today. Today I will talk about ‘my take on Karmbhumi- the workplace and the nation, and Me’. Before I go ahead I want to set stage for a little exercise through a story. A master of martial arts asked Bruce Lee to teach him everything Bruce knew about martial arts. Bruce held up two cups, both filled with liquid. “The first cup,” said Bruce, “represents all of your knowledge about martial arts. The second cup represents all of my knowledge about martial arts. If you want to fill your cup with my knowledge, you must...
