‘Fun - N - Fair’ organised by Borivali Bhatia Mitra Mandal

A Simple, not-so-intelligent, but sincere prayer,My dear God you know that I am growing older,

Keep me from becoming too talkative, from repeating all my jokes and anecdotes, and particularly keep me from falling into the tiresome habit of expressing an opinion on every subject.

Release me from craving to straighten out everyone's affairs. Keep my mind free from recital of endless details.Give me wings to get to the point.

Give me the grace, dear GOD, to listen to others as they describe their aches and pains.Help me endure the boredom with patience and keep my lips sealed, for my own aches and pains are increasing in number and intensity,and the pleasure of discussing them is becoming sweeter as the years go by.

Teach me the glorious lesson that occasionally,I might be mistaken. Keep me reasonably sweet.

I do not wish to be a saint (Saints are so hard to live with), but a sour old person is the work of the devil.

Make me thoughtful, but not moody, helpful, but not pushy, independent, yet able to accept with graciousness favours that others wish to bestow on me.

Free me of the notion that simply because I have lived a long time, I am wiser than those who have not lived so long. I am older, but not necessarily wiser!

If I do not approve of some of the changes that have taken place in recent years, give me the wisdom to keep my mouth shut.

GOD, please know that when the end comes, I would like to have a friend or two left!

Yet another high,My rendezvous with the sky.Considering the zeal in me that lie,Hope all the traveller in me never die.

With houses getting smaller,Land, mountains and greenery growing blur,And about to commence my conversation with the clouds for sure,In love with the heavenly world that I frequently enter.

Lovely sight of the Earth's surface,Roads and rivers seem like a beautiful gifting lace. Water shinning like a stunning solitaire's grace,White patch of clouds simply enhanced the beauty on Earth's face.

Feel like never to stop this conversation,As you selflessly help me each time for self transformation.With each passing time & changing destination,I hereby tie a knot for life with you for each celebration.

Ten best Indian Army quotes: Must read!

Padma Shri Jadav "Molai" Payeng (Assamese) (born 1963) is a Mishing tribe environmental activist and

forestry worker from Jorhat, India. Over the course of several decades, he planted and tended trees on a sandbar of the river Brahmaputra turning it into a forest

reserve. The forest, called Molai forest after him, is located near Kokilamukh of Jorhat, Assam,India and encompasses an area of about 1,360 acres / 550

hectares.In 2015, he was honoured with Padma Shri, the fourth highest civilian award in India.

In 1979, Payeng, then 16, encountered a large number of snakes that had died due to excessive heat after floods washed them onto the tree-less sandbar. That is when he

planted around 20 bamboo seedlings on the sandbar.He started working on the forest in 1979 when the social forestry division of Golaghat district launched a scheme of tree plantation on 200 hectares at Aruna Chapori situated at a distance of 5 km from Kokilamukh inJorhat district. Molai was one of the labourers who worked in that project which was completed after five years. He chose to stay back after the completion of the project even after other workers left. He not only looked after the plants, but continued to plant more trees on his own, in an effort to transform the area into a forest.

The forest, which came to be known as Molai forest, now houses Bengal tigers, Indian rhinoceros, and over 100 deer and rabbits. Molai forest is also home to apes and several varieties of birds, including a large number of

Jadav "Molai" Payeng

vultures. There are several thousand trees, including valcol, arjun (Terminalia arjuna), ejar (Lagerstroemia speciosa), goldmohur (Delonix regia), koroi (Albizia procera), moj (Archidendron bigeminum) and himolu (Bombax ceiba). Bamboo covers an area of over 300

hectares.

A herd of around 100 elephants regularly visits the forest every year and generally stay for around six months. They have given birth to 10 calves in the forest in recent

years.

His efforts became known to the authorities in 2008, when forest department officials went to the area in search of a herd of 115 elephants that had retreated into the forest after damaging property in the village of Aruna Chapori, which is about 1.5 km from the forest. The officials were surprised to see such a large and dense forest and since then the department has regularly

visited the site.

A few years back, poachers tried to kill the rhinos staying in the forest but failed in their attempt due to Molai who alerted department officials. Officials promptly seized

various articles used by the poachers to trap the animals.Molai is ready to manage the forest in a better way and to go to other places of the state to start a similar venture. Now his aim is to spread his forest to another sand bar inside of Brahmaputra.

This man single-handedly planted a 1360 acre forest. As a teenager Jadav “Molai” Payeng began planting seeds along the barren land near his hometown. His hard labor resulted in a sprawling forest, rich in trees and wildlife including deer, rhinos, apes, elephants, and tigers. This forest is called after Payeng's nickname, and is known as the "Molai woods".

Rashtrakavi Ramdhari Singh 'Dinkar’

His works are mostly of 'Veer Rasa', or the 'brave mode', although Urvashi is an exception to this. Some of his greatest works are Rashmirathi and Parashuram ki Prateeksha. He is hailed as the greatest Hindi poet of 'Veer Rasa' since Bhushan.

Acharya Hazari Prasad Dwivedi wrote that he was very popular among people whose mother-tongue was not Hindi and he was a symbol of love for one's own mother-tongue. Harivansh Rai Bachchan wrote that for his proper respect he should get four Bharatiya Jnanpith Awards – for poetry, prose, languages and for his service to Hindi. Rambriksh Benipuri wrote that Dinkar is giving voice to the revolutionary movement in the country. Namvar Singh wrote that he was really the sun of his age. In his youth, Rajnath Singh, Home Minister of India was inspired by the genius of Dinkarji.

Hindi writer Rajendra Yadav, whose novel 'Sara Akash' also carried a few lines of Dinkar's poetry, has said of him He was always very inspiring to read. His poetry was about reawakening. He often delved into Hindu mythology and referred to heroes of epics such as Karna. He was a poet of

The ring is found by a fisherman who recognizes the royal seal and returns it to Dushyanta, who regains his memory of Shakuntala and sets out to find her. After more travails, they are finally reunited.

Vikramôrvaúîyam ("Pertaining to Vikrama and Urvashi") tells the story of mortal King Pururavas and celestial nymph Urvashi who fall in love. As an immortal, she has to return to the heavens, where an unfortunate accident causes her to be sent back to the earth as a mortal with the curse that she will die (and thus return to heaven) the moment her lover lays his eyes on the child which she will bear him. After a series of mishaps, including Urvashi's temporary transformation into a vine, the curse is lifted, and the lovers are allowed to remain together on the earth.

anti-imperialism and nationalism, says well-known Hindi writer Kashinath Singh.

He also wrote social and political satires aimed at socio-economic inequalities and exploitation of the underprivileged.

A progressive and humanist poet, he chose to approach history and reality directly and his verse combined oratorical vigour with a declamatory diction The theme of Urvashi revolves around love, passion, and relationship of man and woman on a spiritual plane, distinct from their earthly relationship.

His Kurukshetra is a narrative poem based on the Santi Parva of the Mahabharata. It was written at a time when the memories of the Second World War were fresh in the mind of the poet.

Krishna Ki Chaetavani is another poem composed on events that led to the Kurukshetra war in the Mahabharata. His Samdheni is a collection of poems reflecting the poet's social concern transcending the boundaries of the nation.
