It is time for Fog !


 A year ago while for a morning walk, clicked this photo. It looked interesting with different hues of light and shades. 


Google reminded of this click. Hence sharing with appropriate Caption from Milind Tilwankar.


मेरा शहर डूबा है कोहरे में 

ज़रा संभल के आना ए धूप !

  A Rookie Journalist’s Ram Mandir Tale (Photo Coutesy : Jagran Josh) The Grand inauguration of Ram Mandir happened yesterday and my memo ries clouded with some of my encounters 35 years ago. The year was 1989. I was studying for graduation and journalistic bug bit me and I joined a local newspaper. It was BJP the rule in MP and very strict and disciplinarian Sundarlal Patwa was the Chief Minister. The newspapers had right wing leanings and used to sympathize with their issues. I used to work for Sports page and also support regional coverage of the newspaper. One day a young activist correspondent mentioned me about the Ram Janmabhoomi Babri Masjid issue and quizzed me whether I’m aware about it? It was a ‘PSPO’ moment for me. I was not much aware about it. He explained me the issue and also how the BJP is now trying to build a campaign for it. It was news for me. Later, Shri L. K.

बेजुबान

  बेजुबान सुबह की कुनकुनी धूप खिल गई थी । मैं भी 19 वें माले पर चाय की प्याली लेकर अपने नियत स्थान पर गैलरी के किनारे अखबार पढ़ते हुए बैठा था । अख़बार कोरोना वायरस और उससे जुड़ी खबरों से पटा पड़ा था । कभी-कभी ये अख़बार   भी नीरस   और डरावने लगते हैं । शब्दों और आंकड़ों के मायाजाल से दिल बैठने लगता है । ख़ैर   मेरी नजर तो गैलरी पर टिकी हुई थी । एक कबूतर   का जोड़ा रेलिंग पर बैठा वार्तालाप कर रहा था । पिछले कुछ दिनों से मैं उनकी आवाज समझने लगा था । एक दोस्त ने बताया था कि जिस कबूतर की गर्दन मोटी होती है वह नर कबूतर होता है । उसकी चोंच   भी छोटी होती है । पतली गर्दन मादा कबूतर की होती है । तो ठीक   है ,   आगे की कहानी में नर कबूतर को मैं कबूतर और मादा को कबूरतरनी ही कहूंगा।   आज कबूतर बड़े ही सीरियस मूड में था । कबूतरनी   ने अपनी आंखें गोल-गोल घुमाते हुए पूछा : "नाराज लग रहे हो ?" कबूतर : "नाराज न हूँ तो क्या ? कल उस बी ब्लॉक   की छठी मंजिल पर रहने वाली डॉक्टर से पड़ोसियों ने क्या बदतमीजी की और कैसी - कैसी भद्दी गालियां दी थी ।...

The Union Carbide factory having very close to Bhopal Station posed a great hazard to incoming trains. The Deputy Station Superintendent of Bhopal Station Ghulam Dastgir, who was on duty on that fateful night showed exemplary presence of mind. He let go the Gorakhpur Express standing on the platform 20 minutes earlier which was against the rules. He also didn’t allow other trains to reach the Station saving Thousands of lives. He also helped the passengers and Staff present on the station to combat this deadly menace. Post Gas disas...
