502: SHIQURDU 45

 

 

  • Shiqurdu is a collection of thoughts. Although an odd-sounding name felt appropriate for the collection.

 

  • These are simplified quotes in Hurdu (Hurdu being a mix of Hindi and Urdu akin to Hinglish i.e., Hindi and English). Although in some cases the language has been simplified attempt has been made to retain the thought and the poetic flavor.

 

  • These thoughts have been picked up from various publications. Credit goes to all the original writers who penned down these deep-meaning messages.

 

 

 

सीखते रहे उम्रभर्, 

लहरों से लड़ने का हुनर

 

क्या पता था की, 

किनारे भी कातिल निकलेंगे

 

 

 

 

पुरानी यादें भूल गये,

क्या भूल गये, कुछ याद नहीं

 

कुच्छ यादें याद रही,

क्यों याद रही, कुछ याद नहीं

 

 

 

 

खामोश होना

जब किसी की बात बुरी लगे

 

खामोश रहना

 किसी को अपनी बात बुरी न लगे

 

 

 

गालो पर लुढ़कता पानी,

 

वो लफ्ज़ 

जिन्हें कागज नसीब नहीं हुआ

 

 

 

 

कद बढ़ा नहीं होता ,

ऐड़ियां उठाने से

 

ऊंचाईया तो मिलती हैं,

सर झुकाने से

 

 

 

 

बड़े अजीब दुनिया के मेले हैं

 

दिखती तो भीड़ है

 

पर चलते सब अकेले हैं

 

 

 

 

फ़क़ीर मिज़ाज़ हूँ,

अंदाज़ अपना औरों से जुदा रखता हूँ,

 

लोग जाते है मंदिर मस्जिद,

मै अपने दिल में खुदा रखता हूँ.

 

 

 

हिम्मत  कर , सब्र कर ,

बिखर  कर  भी  सवर  जाएगा

 

यकीन  कर , शुक्र  कर ,

वक़्त  ही  तोह  हैं  गुज़र  जाएगा

 

 

 

 

ज़रूरी और जरूरत

 

ज़रूरी नहीं की किसी को आपकी जरूरत हो

 

किसी की जरूरत बनना ज़रूरी है

 

 

 

मिट्टी से भी यारी रख

दिल से, दिलदारी रख

 

चोट न पहुंचे बातों से

इतनी समझदारी रख

500: Celebrating Freedom: Voices for a Holistic and Inclusive India

 

On 15 Aug 2024, India celebrated its 78th Independence Day.  Santosh Kumar (podcaster), on his forum “Between Us: Every Conversation Counts”, traces the trajectory of Free India in the past 77 years and the way ahead.

 

In the Geo-political Section, we talked about the applicability of the ancient Indian philosophy of ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’ (the world is one family) in modern diplomacy and global engagements.

 

1. Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam in Modern Diplomacy: “How can the ancient Indian philosophy of ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’ (the world is one family) be applied in modern geopolitical strategies to foster global peace and cooperation?”

 

2. India’s Role on the Global Stage: “In the context of ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam,’ how can India position itself as a global leader in promoting inclusive development and mutual respect among nations?”

 

3. Defense and Diplomacy: “How can India’s defense policies align with the principle of ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam,’ ensuring that our military strength is used as a force for peace and stability in the region and beyond?”

 

4. Global Partnerships: “What role can India play in building global partnerships that reflect the spirit of ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam,’ particularly in addressing shared challenges like climate change, terrorism, and pandemics?”

 

5. People-to-People Diplomacy: “How can citizen-led diplomacy and cultural exchanges strengthen India’s global relationships, embodying the idea of ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’ at the grassroots level?”

 

6. Strategic Autonomy with Global Responsibility: “How can India balance its strategic autonomy with a sense of global responsibility, ensuring that our actions contribute to the well-being of the global family?”

 

7. Humanitarian Efforts and Global Leadership: “In what ways can India’s humanitarian efforts, such as disaster relief and peacekeeping missions, be seen as expressions of ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’?”

 

8. India’s Vision for a Multipolar World: “How does the concept of ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’ influence India’s vision for a multipolar world, where power is balanced and shared among various global players?”

 

9. Promoting Global Security: “How can India contribute to global security frameworks that are inclusive and reflective of the ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’ philosophy, ensuring that no nation feels left out?”

 

10. Future of Global Governance: “As global governance evolves, how can India advocate for systems and institutions that embody the values of ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam,’ promoting fairness and equity for all?”
