A Lonely Dream

It was a lonely dream
Though i was not alone
Was way behind others,
Thinking but nothing sure

Others were finding their way with ease

Like a river, stream or seas
They were doing it their way
I still was thinking, what others would say

Built a behavior of getting stuck
In a fix before i do
Breakers for me accelerate others
Get diverted in the midst of no where

Not aware of what it would,
Made some changes assuming it could
It is my future or present being passed?
Solving questions being never asked.

THE HIDDEN PAIN

It’s a about a joyful sorrow,

It’s not what it seems,

Knows about his black tomorrow,

Under a bright sun beam

The tears are not seen,

But the eyes are totally wet,

Never seems to be mean,

Thinks, nothing he would get,

Treats himself like crowd,

That never got a name,

May be wants to cry loud,

Thinks, “I have lost the game”

I would wish to tell the soul,

Things are never the same,

Spread love and be happy,

Just be a Hall of fame.

THE LAST DAY I SMILED

These are only few lines, But might relate to many who  read this

!!!!!! It was the last day when I smiled,

Though you never felt that I would have cried.

I don’t blame you for a single pain I got,

Coz I was wrong that I was your thought.

The day we met is the golden day of my life,

But your last words were more painful then a cut given by a sharp knife.

We used to be an example for teen lovers,

But now I’ve become a wound with no covers.

People still think that we are together,

But rumor won’t stay for ever.

I would end with just a single line,

THAT WAS AN IMAGE OF MY HEART,

NOT A RHYME!!!!!

WHAT MORE CAN WE DO

Its been a very long time MAD has been putting efforts to improvise garbage disposal in Dehradun (Green Doon).

But So far the Uttarakhand govt. has not taken their reports seriously.

But Mr. Abhijay Negi (One of the major names in MAD org ).

Another report presented to Uttarakhand Govt. regarding the improper Garbage Disbosal

===================================================================

To
The Chief Health Officer, Nagar Nigam, Dehradun. Date: 5/9/13 
SUBJECT: WHAT MORE CAN WE DO TO ENSURE SPEEDY ACTION ON OUR GARBAGE DISPOSAL REPORT
Dear Gurpal Singhji,
Making a Difference by Being the Difference (MAD) was formed on June 8, 2011 and since then we have pursued our environmental agenda of making a cleaner Dehradun very passionately. That is why in December, 2011 we met the then Chief Minister Mr. Khanduri and handed over our improper garbage disposal report. The same was forwarded to your office.





To ensure that the report did achieve its desired objective, we then handed over the report to the then District Magistrate Mr. Dilip Jawalkar and also to the Mayor Shri. Chamoli. 

Seeing no action forthcoming and a regime change in Dehradun, we met the Honorable Chief Minister Shri. Bahuguna in January this year and handed over our report. The same was forwarded to your office yet again.

Then we met Mr. Chamoli again and handed over our report. In April, you wrote to me (Annexure I) asking MAD to discuss our report recommendations. However in our meeting with you it was conveyed to us that you still had not got the report. So, we came to your office on the 21st of May and personally handed over the report to you along with a letter (Annexure II). We also requested you to arrange for our meeting with the DVWM officials and to look into the complete absence of civic amenities for the Municipality sweepers (Annexure III). 

There has been neither any dialogue with us on any of our concerns nor any action for us to see. All our personal interactions with you have only convinced us that you are a diligent official working for change in your own capacity but what saddens us is that our efforts from December 2011 to September 2013 have only been in vain. If it were possible for a self funded, student run informal group of youngsters to clean up the city at once, believe me Sir, we would never have bothered you so much. We again request you with all our reason to kindly look into the 16 garbage hotspots identified by us in our 76 page garbage report and together with our group and other like minded groups, let us begin a Clean Doon Campaign on a war footing. We hope beyond hope that this time, we shall not be ignored.
Regards,
Abhijay Negi,
Team MAD.

The Soundless Reply

My destiny had something to ask

I was like silent onlooker.

I had nothing to answer

With success as a task

I started answering,

 With what I did,

It all got silent,

Like an innocent kid.

I never complaint for any pain,

No matter whether it’s like rain

Even though was pulled so hard,

By the level of that thirsty drain

Changes in My Life

I wrote these lines after i reviewed myself 

My life was going fine….

With no faults and no crime …

I would be happy at any cost ….

But didn't realize that I was lost.

I had so many friends around,

Who used to charge me in the ground.

A day I realized, I m being bullied,

Life’s so harsh, I was still pleased.

I framed my pain and made a phrase,

Used to ask, Will I win d Race?

Suddenly life went on another track,

I asked my self, is this another stack?

Months passed and so on years,

Felt lonely with no tears.

I continued writing, and expected to be praised,

But you know what!  It was going waste…

I have a friend, who boosted my moral,

The one who told me, “Hey that’s your Level”.

We have never met, but we do share,

And slowly it happened, life got easier.

I thank God, for all his blessings,

Well that’s life, an unpredictable thing.

LOVE OR PAIN ?

In a full moon light,

I met an angel,

As a pass through mirror,

She seems so clear.

 

Her eyes were so innocent,

One could be lost in depth,

I had no words,

But to hold my breath

It’s about what I think,

Gets complicated before her eyes blink,

She never knew she was all mine,

I would be no more before her sun shines.

LETS TRANSFORM

To “protest” is our right,

Doesn’t mean that we should fight

The way we react on others,

All depends on our sight.

An example is a coconut tree,

That has reached the heights

We have its fruits, which is for free

Still he never bites.

We can’t tolerate if someone stares us,

Always filled with ego

A sweet smile does a lot,

Enough to change our bitter thought.

A LAZY MORNING

Broken dreams sometimes make us smile.

AT “5” in the morning

I woke up with a smile,

With a plan pre-planned

To travel for miles.

Was yawning a lot

With my home in my thought,

Was dark outside

And my pray to God.

Now it was “6”

With sun shining on the shed,

But my sweet elder bro

Was still on the bed.

MAD Volunteers Clean Tamsa Stream ( DEHRADUN )

On May 19, 2013 (Sunday), MAD headed towards Tamsa Stream passing by Tapkeshwar Temple (Ancient Holy Place in Doon). Their cleanup drive was also covered by media and accompanied by local residents, 

Famous news Paper "The Tribune" appreciated their deed...  

Making a Difference (MAD), an association of 800 youngsters in Dehradun, has taken up the cleaning of dwindling streams which have been choked due to excessive pollution and gross neglect by people as well as the government.

Many of the erstwhile perennial streams are now beyond any scope of revival. It is certain that the streams flowing below the Bindal bridge and below the Rispina bridge are dead with all their biodiversity.

From east canal to west canal, Dehradun has no canals. MAD has now resolved that it would not allow those few streams to meet the same fate. Last year in May, they had zeroed in on the Tamsa stream which comes from the Bijapur dam to Dakra and is filled with the filth on the Tapkeshwar temple premises. It is the only stream which is the source of water supply for the town. Concerned over this, MAD volunteers held a mega clean-up drive and an awareness campaign on the premises of the Tapkeshwar temple on May 13 last and collected over 15 quintals of assorted garbage.

On hearing that people continue to pollute the stream, a team of 40 MAD volunteers were back in action yet again today. These included students from Summer Valley School, Brightlands, Doon University, the Dehradun Institute of Technology and Graphic Era University.

The Mahant of the Tapkeshwar temple extended full cooperation and support for this drive and provided them with some spades and also organised tea for young volunteers.

Wearing gloves, gumboots and masks, the youngsters started their work to clean the dried-up stream full of polythene and other pollutants.

Let’s Rise Like a Sun

Its time to stand

With a will, “We Can”

We know we can

Just need to know, when?

No need to think,

What others would say,

We all stay together,

Just need to pray.

Save Water

There are a lot of things that play a key role in our life, but few things are really an essential in our daily life, no matter if its a Rich person of Poor, every individual needs WATER in his daily life.

Source - Wikipedia

Water covers 71% of the Earth's surface,  Only 2.5% of the Earth's water is freshwater, and 98.8% of that water is in ice and groundwater.

Looking over to these stats, we can really point out that it is really very less if compared to the consumption, which takes us to few Questions, 

1- Are we actually making the most of what we've got ?

2- Are we responsible enough ?

3- DO WE SAVE WATER ?

Many more Questions are there and among these three, i would only answer the 3rd one, "No we Don't".

Almost every Mediocre as of now can get water in exchange of money, but is it really available to many of those who need it as well ?

I feel so pity when i see such happenings.

And even after all these scenarios being going on in our country no one cares of this precious natural resource we are blessed with.






And this is whats happening....

Now whenever you have any unnecessary demand, just think of these innocents who don't even know this word DEMAND,

JOY IN PAIN

The time on our wrist,

Is always ahead from us

What’s going behind the mist!

Is all what we discuss.

Looking out of window,

We see the vacant chairs,

Seems lonely being kept alone,

Having nothing they could show.

Many are kept inside,

They feel they are lucky,

They feel it’s a pride

Still many are kept aside.

There Won't Be A "TOMORROW"

It was a dark sunny day

With crowd on the road,

With trees leaning down

To unleash the code

“No eating, Drinking or littering”

Was written all around

What all we could see

 Was just a crying ground

Lots were left behind,

And lots were to come.

The only challenge was,

To prevent the rising sum
