Seek thou grace From you O Lord From sufferings and afflictions As we seek your hand For none is capable of that As we stand encompassed By the bubbles in a bubble bath  Of forlornness, afflictions and travail Lacking the will to sail Seeing all around the equations that prevail  Leaving one, no longer astound For the laws are not constant  And are just food for brains For displaying a polished persona  And basking in reciprocal gains One's indispensability the measure of a premium existence Is forcing people into a race Sidelining consistence the elixir of coexistence  O Lord, help us develop the practical survival instincts Preserving subsistence and not subservience skills To help one sail through this worldly sea of human existence Which flourishes on realism And perishes if fed with idealism The balance of idealism and realism needs a restoration If people are to be freed from the doom of isolation Dr Archana Tandon

At "Maheshwari's Sukriti"

At Maheshwari's Sukriti Relaxation and rejuvenation at Bhimtal Developed pharyngitis and had two sleepless nights. Was in a dilemma to cancel the long awaited Bhimtal trip or to go ahead with it for the trip had been cancelled many times for varied reasons. Ultimately decided to go ahead and started packing. We were heading to "Sukriti" the Maheshwari's villa ( owned by Jai's"boss" as he called him; his senior at BHU). We started on 13th Nov, at 8 AM from Moradabad via Rudrapur and Halwani. The way was good and was a 4 lane highway, except for a patch just before Rampur which was uneven because of recent floods. Had mega aloo ka paratha, idli sambhar and uttapam at Udupiwala at Kathgodam which is on the right side on the road to Nainital just before it bifurcates with the right turn leading one to Bhimtal. With God's grace and courtesy Ranidom for my viral gastritis and stemetil, had an uneventful journey uphill and reached 'Sukriti' timely. 

बीज जो बोए

बोती हूँ उगेगा क्या  नहीं जानती कुछ रंग खिलें कुछ सुगंध बिखरे मंशा लिए  बीजों को  बोके ही  खुश हो जाती हूँ -अर्चना
