It's good to be lazy and slow
This makes you shine & glow
There is more chance to crash
If you are fast and in full flow
That girl with eyes like a doe
You too tried to woo her, I know
She ditched me too, so we bond
Haven't we suffered similar pain bro?
Learnt lesson, now it's time to grow
Try elsewhere, no need to crib, stop being a crow
There is any reason to run or go wild?
Saunter, observe, enjoy the high & low

'The Bhopal Sentiment'. This sentiment is that when others run, lets walk. And when others walk, sit beside the commotion and watch them go.
NOTE: Ghazal is a genre of Urdu poetry, written in a format. People often write ghazals in English too.

I don’t know who this reporter is but other reporters should take notes.

Job creation and sustained attempt to keep focus on generating employments ought to be the foremost task now for governments as layoffs and AI's advent change the rules of the game.
Visionary leadership and high priority on different sectors, development are needed. Policy paralysis and failure to focus on future and employment can affect nations.

Mark, your project, Facebook is not completely 'broken' but it has got damaged.
It should have proper systems. On one hand, extremely objectionable and openly hateful, speech, videos that call for discrimination are allowed, simple and normal posts are removed, for no reason.
Why @Meta letting its 'AI' flag simple & harmless posts under strange categories & putting restrictions on profiles.
Simple article & post, removed with a message, 'fraudulent commercial practice', though post is a normal article.
AI acts weird. Plaint ignored, post not restored, profile restricted.

TCS Nashik: Employees allegedly pressured to convert. National outrage. Prime time coverage. Justified.
TCS Pune: Amit Bramhe, 48, dies by suicide. His note names two female colleagues for workplace harassment AND a man... Vinod Pali... for filing false FIRs, sending fake complaints to TCS and systematically destroying his life after a personal dispute.
News Headlins: " FIR against 2 female colleagues."
Vinod Pali... the man who allegedly got Amit booked at Hinjewadi PS, sent a lawyer's notice and submitted fabricated emails... doesn't make the cut.
Amit's wife has cancer. His teenage son filed the FIR. Three people are booked for abetment of suicide.
👉 Same company, two very different standards of outrage and reporting.
Changing form of friendship, the most selfless engagement among humans in a complex, modern world.

@copwatchbharat People are used to being harassed, hassled & hounded on the streets.
It is seen as normal. Many people see cops and just turn away & it leads to mishaps.
People fear that even if all documents, cop would find a fault, penalize or harass.

The 'headlines' and 'screens' show a bit but that's not the entire world. People are made to believe a certain thing but reality is different.
Living in one town, knowing about situation in thousands of towns across the nation is not possible, generalized thoughts about communities are mostly shared.
Yet, a big transformation has undergone in the last seven years or so. At the level of economy, education and despite hardships, those who remained patient and kept focused, suffered but remained resilient, have managed to overcome a lot.
Of course, the social media makes negative news appear far more. People believe things because the TV, the media and the paid trolls have been given jobs to spread particular message that they spread like maniacs.
But those who faced tough times, have not just gone through a major learning exercise, but the equilibrium has changed in a different way. That's why the heat is more intense as real data that is often fudged or hidden is known to them and they want to keep this positive, progressive story 'unknown'.

@JAFARKAZMI @RahulGandhi @priyankagandhi That's great. Best wishes to your son who is just a schoolboy but talented and had given impressive speech about role of freedom fighters.
Much before Mahatma Gandhi and other top leaders appeared on the scene, these were the revolutionaries who dared to take on the Empire and were absolutely fearless.
His political activity started much before First World War. However, all this was ignored.
1. What has happened in Bhopal is a group of people disgracing themselves and the society. This decision to change the name of the Barkatullah University, doesn't one bit affect the prestige of the freedom fighter. Now, he is all set to be recalled more and restored to the high pedestal that he deserves.
2. The fact that the education system, institutions have reached a level that an revolutionary of his calibre who fought for independence and had British intelligence trailing him all through his life, who talked about freedom when most leaders were content with demand for dominion status and who created international alliances, created huge awareness in the entire world about the oppression by imperial forces in an era when there was hardly any free big media, and even died while giving a passionate speech about India's freedom. can't be belittled.
3. In fact, it is now the time to know about his life. The man who didn't marry, who died in exile and whose sole mission was to fight for freedom. In his own words, 'I am neither socialist, nor communist, my sole aim is expulsion of imperial forces and to this aim, I support alliance with powers that help us in attaining independence'.
4. The people who have brought shame and have disgraced the region with their petty mindset, are insignificant. But a society that doesn't even respect the great personalities who made such sacrifices for the nation, definitely deserves to introspect.
5. The shameless, decay and degradation of the institutions is exceptional. I am not sure if CM Dr Mohan Yadav has yet taken due cognisance but even Kushabhau Thakre and other past heavyweights of the same party recalled Barkatullah's contriution and would never have led it happen.

This was the call given by the Ghadar Party, the band of revolutionaries, for the cause of India’s freedom.
Barkatullah, who was born in Bhopal, was among those revolutionaries who dedicated their entire lives for the country.
The fiery leader of Ghadar Party had made the cause of India’s independence as his motto from the beginning.
This was the era when political leaders were not even demanding complete freedom. The ill treatment with Indians and the discrimination, apart from harsh laws, had made lives difficult for the Indian citizens.
Even though major political leaders were reluctant to speak for freedom, and were content with a space for dissent and demand for dominion status, Barkatullah and the revolutionaries were planning to overthrow the British government and establish self rule.
A companion of Lala Hardayal, another leading revolutionary, Barkatullah Bhopali felt that India needed to drive imperialistic forces out, and hence the revolutionaries must seek help from other nations.
Apart from organizing revolutionaries in US, Japan, Afghanistan, he met leaders of Russian revolution.
Barkatullah Bhopali visited dozens of countries where roused passions among Indians to join hands for the cause of Indian independence.The scholar whose figure, wearing a red Turkish cap, has inspired generations, had made it a mission to liberate motherland from the British rule.
When the revolutionaries were able to form the Government of India in Exile, Raja Mahendra Pratap Singh was made the President while Barkatullah Bhopali was the Prime Minister of this government. The aim of revolutionaries was to launch an attack against British and free the country from the foreign rule.
It caused alarm among the British who used their global power and influence to tackle the revolutionaries. The prevailing international politics, the post-WW I scenario and world powers' change of attitude, affected the plans. However, the revolutionary leaders were not the ones to sit down.
From America to Japan and United Kingdom to Germany, Barkatullah visited countries that supported Indian citizens' right to self-govern, trying to seek help to form grand alliance agains the British imperialists. Throughout his life, he was followed by British intelligence.
It was the role of Gadar Party and its leaders that lit the fire of freedom in hearts of Indians living across the world, and from USA to Malaya, the revolutionaries came forward, and later this network proved immensely helpful and advantageous when Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose formed the Indian National Army.
Barkatullah was born on July 7, 1854. He had a cardiac arrest while delivering a passionate speech, urging the Indian expatriates to join hands for the country's freedom, during his visit to USA and passed away in 1927.
He is buried in San Francisco. Barkatullah didn’t live to see India attain freedom, but it was the efforts of these revolutionaries that gave impetus to Indian freedom struggle within and outside the country.
Still, writing and tagging.

India is the most populated nation in the world and has a large economy, but it still ranks low as far as HDI is concerned.
The human development index ranking takes into account the standard of living, apart from factors like health and education. This is a cause of concern.

Shameful to erase memory of the great revolutionary freedom fighter by proposing to change name of Barkatullah University.
Who'd have thought that certain people would even think about ignoring sacrifices of the freedom fighters.

Not just food quality but irritation due to over-charging & bad behaviour that spoils mood in journey, made me decide long ago that I'd carry food from home, boarding station, paratha or puri with sabzi, a few dry things, cookies or cake when going on long journey. No buying inside train.
At least in India, there is a feeling that a certain project is enforced and @Facebook doesn't seem to pay any attention to hate on its platform.
It must be investigated what is compelling this organization to create such a situation. It's high time that propaganda, hate and falsehood are not propagated and posts that call for violence and that spread divide in society are stopped.
ot just hate but open threat and call for violence, such cleverly written posts that turn communities against each other and spread propaganda, are given more 'reach'.
It is clearly visible. In India, either threat or abuse, Facebook has standard reply, 'We understand it may be inconvenient for you, but we haven't removed the post'.
The rules are not applied. An international audit is necessary because it is a threat to global peace, especially, harmony and society in South Asia.
