REMEMBERING MOMENTS
A TRUE SIR JI “FAISAL SIR”

WELL, finally the third sem has begun and we have become seniors ufff….
There is a new fragrance , a new aura in the air.
After a long break everyone’s back with a bang!
Oh! God I really missed every single soul… everyone’s back after their exuberant two and a half months!
Everyone’s a different individual and so I missed their small, yet striking gestures! All the things we did. (Visiting police stations too)
We are an amalgamation of thousands of activities from theatre to dance to debates all in one batch!
Or rather a batch of BRATS! Right Sir?

But,
There is someone who is missing?????
yes ji

A SIR ….
Or no A FRIEND?
A GUIDE?
A MENTOR?A TRUE SUPPORT?OR A BUDDY?

Hmmm ….. he is actually a sir, a teacher, a guiding light, a mentor, a support system, but above all the BESTEST BUDDY!

This is our “Faisal sir”
The only sad plight is that he is not teaching us this year… L
And we never got the opportunity to thank him and show our gratitude towards him!
In the hustle bustle of the tiring college life, sir used to bring a zest in the mundane routine, or I should say his 24*7 sparkling smile.
IT classes were fun filled learning but more than that the support he provided to each one of us….
Anyone can jump up to him with anything , any problem and with all compassion he makes your strive actually vanish.
Failure or successes, it’s so easy to share with him, he will be your greatest support when you succumb to a failure and the most happy for your achievement,
According to an old saying, a mother can feel every pulse and beat of her child…
I would say sir used to feel every pulse and beat of us..
After just coming from a cocoon and shelter of school life, feels too “big” in college but it was only Faisal Sir who pampered us and yes real sense, spoon fed us.
He was there for every thing we faced, the lectures by Kamayani Mam or be it the laughing riot session of Danish Sir, which are just a few to mention!

Although this year God has been a liltle harsh on us , or else we are not fortunate enough to get you as our Prof…..
But still whatever time we had it would the most memorable phase and period of our lives, and we will treasure it forever, and most importantly you reside in each one of us , we might not share things with each other but can burst our hearts in front of you!be it advice, or help or grief or just to feel happy “( sir’s patent he he) we will always bug you!
But deep inside our hearts ,,,,,………
WE MISS YOU SIR
WE OWE A LOT TO YOU…

……………..
From
One of your brats!!!!!
hope to get your comment on this one sir?????? ;-)

ARE WE "INDIANS?"

The valley is in bloodshed again. A mere issue, of giving 100 acres of forest land to Amarnath board to build facilities for amaranth pilgrims, and see what shape has it taken.

One of the reasons behind the controversy is the government policy of bringing religious bodies under the state's control. The Governor heads the Hindu shrine boards and the chief minister heads the Muslim Wakfs.Now the state is polarized, as the discourse has become an issue of Kashmiris vs non-Kashmiris and Hindus vs. Muslim.Again this religious turmoil is ready to hamper our nation. With the BJP planning to call for a nation wide “bandh” people are getting captivated by this so called “hindu-muslim” issue.

Why do we fail to understand that whether “BJP” or the “PDP” has fomented this trouble with elections in mind!

But, what is all this leading to?
Horrid protests in the state and yet again killing of innocent people.

……………………………………………………………….

Strangely, this is not what I want to write about!
What actually pricked me, was the seen of protesters in the valley with pakistan’s flag and then the array of ‘texts’ which I have received from my “near and dear ones’”
Hindus should stop tolerating all the Haj terminals at air ports and all the subsidies … “but” y do we forget that the shrine itself was found by a “muslim guy” and every year it’s his family the first ONE to visit the shrine!
Moreover, every year one tenth of the total money collected is given to his family! The “workers” of the various parties, their protests and ‘texts’ are tools for their political gimmick.
As individuals we don’t want this, but all OUR political parties and separatists can go up to any limit to deepen this line of divide.
We need to respect each other’s religion and integrity. Why every time do we become mere puppets in the hands of our hard liners?

There are some answers I’ll never get perhaps! Our nation boasts of “unity in diversity” and treasures the various cultures, then why all this havoc in the country?Why still can’t we accept Hindu-Muslim alliances?


Perhaps because for us our religion identity matters to us more than just being “INDIANS” and so we face this every time. A petty issue becomes this grave! It’s so bloody easy for anyone to divide us.
The land transfer faced Initial resistance due to environmental concerns, but see what shape has it taken today?

I think we should stop the practice of the daily “pledge” of our schools!
INDIA IS MY COUNTRY. ALL INDIANS ARE MY BOTHERS AND SISTERS.
Do we actually mean we are INDIANS? Or are we HINDUS, MUSLIMS, CHRISTIANS, SIKHS… AND NOW EVEN “MAHARASHTRIANS”, BENGALI’S, AND KASHMIRI’S????

WISH ONE DAY ALL THE CITIZENS IN OUR NATIONS WILL CALL THEMSELVES “PROUD INDIANS.”
