Article- Enjoy This Life
Dalip Singh Wasan, Advocate.
Everyone of us must know that this is the first and the last time to come over on this earth and therefore, we should enjoy life and since we do not know when we shall go out of this life, therefore, we should not keep our enjoyments for another day. Every minute of this life is precious for us and it could be the last minute to live here. Therefore, we must enjoy and we must arrange our life in such a manner that we have got very few worries with us.
We have already left the days when this man was living in jungles, in mountains, was in the stone age or he was not having a married life nor he was having a house to which he could call his home. But man had been crossing all these ages and now he has come in the age of science and technology and now everything could be available at his door. Therefore, he can enjoy life if he so desires. For enjoying life, we have got certain basics and if those basics are not available with us, we shall be facing difficulties and we shall not be able to enjoy this life. The man should have proper education with him, proper training with him and he should try to have a proper work for him so that he could earn money sufficient to carry on day to day life. At present we have to purchase things for our use and therefore, we need money and therefore, everyone should earn money which should be sufficient to maintain the house properly and if his income is on the lower side, he should earn more and should make efforts to earn more and if he is not able to earn sufficient income, then all others in the house should also join him and they all should try to add to the income of the house, but they should not go to others for help because the people to whom they are approaching have got their own problems and they may not be able to help them.
We must see that our present demands are fulfilled and then we shall have to ensure that our old age and difficult days are also secure and we should make some savings too. There are so many institutions which are keeping our money safe. We can have an insurance policy and similarly we can purchase a policy for the safety of our house and other household effects so that we may not be having worries about the loss of our properties through fire or through some other casualty. We should have good relations in our family, in hour neighbourhood, in our society, in our village, in our town and with all with whom we work and with whom we have relations. If we are married person, then it is our duty to have good relations with the other life partner and we must be faithful and sincere to that life partner. If we have children, we must ensure that they are getting proper education, proper training and they shall be adjusted in life during our life time and we are the main contributor towards their settlement in life. They must feel proud of you.
We should keep our health properly and we must see that we are having good reputation amongst all with whom we have got some relations. We should not develop enmity with others because such enmities often create troubles for us and we are not at ease in time of our rest even. We may be having hundred and one friends, but only one enemy shall be enough to bring troubles for us. We should ensure that we are not spending our time, energy, resources and mind in Courts and in hospitals. These two places are most dangerous for us because once we have been here, then it shall become difficult for us to go out of these two institutions. And most of our time, energy, resources and mind shall be wasted here and even then we are not sure that we shall be spared or not.
We should be punctual and we should not leave our work pending for the other day or days. We should finish our work and we must ensure that none goes commenting upon us adversely. Everyone coming to us must go back satisfied and happy and when we make others happy, they bring happiness for us. The people who are working with us demand our love and affection and in return they are ready to give us happiness and pleasure. If we are clear, we shall remain clear and our life shall be full of happiness and satisfaction, but when we are not clear towards others, then those people are also not having clear mind for us. We shall be facing difficulties and problems and we shall be trying to solve those problems and difficulties. Some time we shall be successful and at times we would not be successful. Successes shall bring happiness and failures may bring us sadness, but we shall have to accept both because this is a life and here successes and failures, both shall be coming to us. We are here looking at a Hindi Movie where the people are also suffering and people are also enjoying life and in the end they are happy and satisfied. We must live life like this because here we shall have to complete the tenure given to us and all of us shall complete this tenure. The people who are labouring and the people who are just sitting and having all the facilities at their command, both live life and go out of this life. Very few of these people shall be remembered by the people who shall be here after our death. Therefore, this fact of life must also be understood and we must be satisfied what is happening with us and we should remain satisfied with our luck and fate and we should face destiny too. But it does not mean that we should not do our efforts. We must try to solve our problems and difficulties and if do not pass, it is not our fault. At least we must be satisfied in our heart of hearts that we had played our part well. And this fact of life shall be giving us all the pleasures in life.

Dreaming in Hindi: Coming Awake in Another LanguageAt a time when her life seemed to be crumbling, Katherine Russell Rich took on a writing assignment in India, where she was seduced by the idea of learning to speak Hindi, the language she heard swirling all around her. In a rash moment, she determined she’d go live and study in the ancient city of Udaipur. That decision lead to unexpected reclamation. In this beautiful and spirited memoir, she documents her experiences, from the bizarre to the frightening to the full-out exhilarating. Seamlessly combining her courageous (and often hilarious) personal journey with reporting on the science of language acquisition, Dreaming in Hindi offers an eye-opening account of what learning a new tongue can teach us about distant worlds and, ultimately, about ourselves.
The Sympathy of ReligionsA lecture given at Horticultural Hall, Boston, 1870 "Our true religious life begins when we discover that there is an Inner Light, not infallible but invaluable, which "lighteth every man that cometh into the world." Then we have something to steer by; and it is chiefly this, and not an anchor, that we need. The human soul, like any other noble vessel, was not built to be anchored, but to sail. An anchorage may, indeed, be at times a temporary need, in order to make some special repairs, or to take fresh cargo in; yet the natural destiny of both ship and soul is not the harbor, but the ocean; to cut with even keel the vast and beautiful expanse; to pass from island on to island of more than Indian balm, or to continents fairer than Columbus won; or, best of all, steering close to the wind, to extract motive power from the greatest obstacles..."
Poetry, Politics and Culture: Essays on Indian Texts and ContextsThis book maps the journey of the Indian poetic imagination—in Hindi, Panjabi and Indian English—from its original quasi-spiritual longings to its activist interventions in the public domain. As Indian poetry of the post-1990s gravitates towards a non-Orientalised postcolonial nationalism, it seeks to rewrite and disseminate the shifting coordinates of nationalist imagination in terms of the dissent of the subaltern discontents of the nation.
The book is interdisciplinary: it studies Indian poetry from the new emerging imperatives of postcolonialism, new historiography (subaltern, dalit and diasporas), nationalism, and cultural studies. Covering the two major north Indian languages—Hindi and Punjabi—along with poetry in Indian English, the book is a close textual study of about 150 poetry collections in these languages. It is path-breaking in its study of secular poetry written in the so-called vernaculars, with critical attention to its participation in the political as well as cultural processes of nation-making.
This cutting-edge book should be of interest to scholars of Indian writings in English, Hindi and Panjabi, gender studies, dalit and diaspora studies, postcolonial poetry and to students reading South Asian literature and culture.
