A Woman‟s Worth
She gave life. She is a wife.
she is a mother and she is a friend.
she is a sister, a survivor to the end.
appreciate her, we don‟t dare!
ask her worries, we don‟t care.
wipe away her tears, they are invisible as air.
she works, cooks and clean.
she laughs, helps, and hides her pain.
when you struggle, she pulls you through.
all this is she! and what do we do to her?
complain and create a mess.
provide stress and leave her feeling depressed.
push her away and ignore her advice.
tell her she is nothing without thinking twice!
she was raped, tortured and abused.
told she was nothing and would always be used just for pleasure.
she swallows her pride, put her feelings aside,
does everything as you need, in order to make you free.
ignores your ignorance and tolerates your flaws.
you call her nothing.
she answers with pride, dignity and a complete loss of self.
BUT…

Silence
Silence, a beautiful language
Imparts wordless meaning
Silence, a healer
Redresses the torments of the mind
Silence, a spiritual language
Unites the mortal with the supreme
Silence, the intimidator
Gives fright to the lonesome soul
Silence, the language of the dumb
It never lies, never abuses, never swears
Silence, the observing tool
Makes one know more, achieve more
Silence, the beginning and the end
The unborn enjoys in the womb
The lifeless accompanied in the tomb.

Real Heroes of the World
Sun rises in the east,
Sets in the west.
Life raises above the ground,
Sets below the ground.
Don‟t worry about the past;
Or feel for the future.
Be yourself in the present,
Save for the future.
Be like a hero in all your
Movement – but don‟t hurt,
Even a single heart.
When you are a hero,
Work like a bee –

Join Together like a crow,
Then analyze how beautiful –

Child Labour
It is not the fate of the children to be in deep gloom
But it happens; they live in the black world
Being hidden in the black world
Their talent is lost in darkness
Their eyes turn red due to sleeplessness
They lack power and anger in mind
Instead of hold pencil and pen
Their hands hold chisel & hammer
So, Let us prevent the children from becoming
illiterate
And make our Country awake…

My Celestial Damsel
When you were a child, I saw you as a cute angel,
When you walked, I held your hand, and I served you…
When you were young, I stood up for you…
No matter where I am, I will come for your rescue…
When you settle in other‟s hand,
You will see the new land,
You will feel like sinking in a quicksand,
When we get a unique path, we will maintain distance…
When we grow older, we will live separately,
Though we are leading different life,
We help each other.
There is no replacement
For one another.
This is what I have learnt,
My attachment on YOU will never go

Sonnet to My Mother
(In The Form of Shakespearean Sonnet)
I am celebrating this day
As the best day of my life
And her hands wiped my tears away.
My love for her is beyond this life
Everyone else put me down-
She stood by me when I was dull.
She is the motivator who
makes me to expose all my skills
On seeing her face, my grief vanished.
I exclaimed of her great fortitude
She makes my misfortunes perished

And I express her, my love and gratitude.
I am celebrating this day not for other,

An Amazing language
That is the English language
Which is very strange.
For there are words which we cannot change.
The plural of ‟bone‟ is „bones‟,
Insight 2016

But „ox‟ is „oxen‟ and never „oxes‟.
The plural of „mouse‟ becomes „mice‟.
But „house‟ never becomes „hice‟.
The plural of „man‟ becomes „men‟
Why shouldn‟t the plural of „pan‟ become „pen‟?
Many „brothers‟ we call „bretheren‟.
Many „sisters‟ are not „sisteren‟
So English is amazing; we all agree;
It is the global language we ever did see.

Biography of Malala
Malala was born on 12 July 1997 in Mingora, Swat Valley
in Pakistan. She started speaking about the rights of education in
2008 when she was just 11 years old. She was an educational
campaigner who came to public attention by writing for BBC
Urdu about life under Taliban. When the Taliban took control of
the Swat Valley, she refused to be silence and raised her voice
against them. Encouraged by her father to express her thoughts,
she became more vocal in voicing her opinion of women‟s right
to education. This angered the Taliban and they issued a death
threat against her. In October 2012, she was shot dead as she was
returning from school. She miraculously survived the horrific
attack and returned to activism even more determined than before.
The attack on Malala caused Pakistan to create their first ever
Right to Education Bill. She became the youngest ever person to
be awarded the Nobel Prize in 2014 jointly with the Indian
activist, Kailash Satyarthi. Her birthday was celebrated as
“Malala Day” through out the world. In 2013, she published her
autobiography, “I AM MALALA: THE GIRL WHO STOOD UP
FOR EDUCATION AND WAS SHOT BY THE TALIBAN”. She
got a honourary doctorate from the University of King‟s College.
She received over 40 honours and awards due to her heroic and
incredible activism. She believed that “One child, one teacher,
one book and one pen can change the world”. She considered

education as the most powerful weapon than everything else. In
October 2015, a documentary namely “HE NAMED ME
MALALA” was released, which gives viewers an intimate look
into the life of Malala.

Swami Vivekananda's Speeches
The World Parliament of Religions, Chicago
Chicago, Sept 11, 1893
Sisters and Brothers of America,
It fills my heart with joy
unspeakable to rise in response to
the warm and cordial welcome which you have given us. I thank
you in the name of the most ancient order of monks in the world;
I thank you in the name of the mother of religions, and I thank
you in the name of millions and millions of Hindu people of all
classes and sects.
My thanks, also, to some of the speakers on this platform who,
referring to the delegates from the Orient, have told you that these
men from far-off nations may well claim the honor of bearing to
different lands the idea of toleration. I am proud to belong to a
religion which has taught the world both tolerance and universal
acceptance.
We believe not only in universal toleration, but we accept all
religions as true. I am proud to belong to a nation which has
sheltered the persecuted and the refugees of all religions and all
nations of the earth. I am proud to tell you that we have gathered
in our bosom the purest remnant of the Israelites, who came to
Southern India and took refuge with us in the very year in which
their holy temple was shattered to pieces by Roman tyranny. I am
proud to belong to the religion which has sheltered and is still
fostering the remnant of the grand Zoroastrian nation. I will quote
to you, brethren, a few lines from a hymn which I remember to
have repeated from my earliest boyhood, which is every day
repeated by millions of human beings: "As the different streams
having their sources in different paths which men take through
different tendencies, various though they appear, crooked or
straight, all lead to Thee."
Insight 2016

The present convention, which is one of the most august
assemblies ever held, is in itself a vindication, a declaration to the
world of the wonderful doctrine preached in the Gita:
"Whosoever comes to Me, through whatsoever form, I reach him;
all men are struggling through paths which in the end lead to me."
Sectarianism, bigotry, and its horrible descendant, fanaticism,
have long possessed this beautiful earth.
They have filled the earth with violence, drenched it often and
often with human blood, destroyed civilization and sent whole
nations to despair. Had it not been for these horrible demons,
human society would be far more advanced than it is now. But
their time is come; and I fervently hope that the bell that tolled
this morning in honor of this convention may be the death-knell
of all fanaticism, of all persecutions with the sword or with the
pen, and of all uncharitable feelings between persons wending
their way to the same goal.
CONCLUDING ADDRESS - Chicago, Sept 27, 1893
The World's Parliament of Religions has become an accomplished
fact, and the merciful Father has helped those who labored to
bring it into existence, and crowned with success their most
unselfish labor.
My thanks to those noble souls whose large hearts and love of
truth first dreamed this wonderful dream and then realized it. My
thanks to the shower of liberal sentiments that has overflowed this
platform.
My thanks to this enlightened audience for their uniform kindness
to me and for their appreciation of every thought that tends to
smooth the friction of religions. A few jarring notes were heard
from time to time in this harmony. My special thanks to them, for
they have, by their striking contrast, made general harmony the
sweeter.
Insight 2016
29 | P a g e
Much has been said of the common ground of religious unity. I
am not going just now to venture my own theory. But if any one
here hopes that this unity will come by the triumph of any one of
the religions and the destruction of the others, to him I say,
"Brother, yours is an impossible hope." Do I wish that the
Christian would become Hindu? God forbid. Do I wish that the
Hindu or Buddhist would become Christian? God forbid.
The seed is put in the ground, and earth and air and water are
placed around it. Does the seed become the earth, or the air, or the
water? No. It becomes a plant. It develops after the law of its own
growth, assimilates the air, the earth, and the water, converts them
into plant substance, and grows into a plant.
Similar is the case with religion. The Christian is not to become a
Hindu or a Buddhist, nor a Hindu or a Buddhist to become a
Christian. But each must assimilate the spirit of the others and yet
preserve his individuality and grow according to his own law of
growth.
If the Parliament of Religions has shown anything to the world, it
is this: It has proved to the world that holiness, purity and charity
are not the exclusive possessions of any church in the world, and
that every system has produced men and women of the most
exalted character.
In the face of this evidence, if anybody dreams of the exclusive
survival of his own religion and the destruction of the others, I
pity him from the bottom of my heart, and point out to him that
upon the banner of every religion will soon be
written in spite of resistance: "Help and not fight,"
"Assimilation and not Destruction," "Harmony and
Peace and not Dissension."
