Yamuna Satyagraha completes 365 days

Despite an apparent lack of interest among the citizenry of Delhi, committed activists led by waterman Rajendra Singh have been sitting in protest in the Indian capital for the past 365 days. Saving the Yamuna river from the ongoing construction of Commonwealth Games Village is their mission.

Motorists on National Highway-24 connecting Delhi with Ghaziabad often marvel at the frenetic construction work underway at the Commonwealth Games Village facing the Akshardham Temple on the eastern bank of Yamuna.

But few have noticed one of the longest-running environmental campaigns in Delhi, at a corner next to a smelling storm-water drain right outside the Village.

Known as, "The Yamuna Satyagraha", as the campaign is called, completed 365 weather-beaten days on Wednesday.

Under the Bamboo chhappar at the protest site, hang a few handwritten posters handed to kids from the nearby school on yamuna floodland. Rajender singh ji was sitting Close by a portrait of Mahatma Gandhi.

The campaign was launched to “save the oldest and most vital water resource of Delhi”, which environmentalists feel face grave threat to its survival from the construction work on the river's bed.

On Wednesday, well-wishers from all over india came over to commemorate the day. But on any given day, there are only a few protestors at the site, led by Master Baljitsingh ji holding together the fight for something so intrinsic to Delhi's sustenance.

These “water warriors”, as they call themselves, have been living out of the tent, playing host to mosquitoes at night and silently watching Delhi zoom by on the busy highway.

On this day, there was "Havan" by all supporters and like minded people. After that school kids planted trees in floodland, folowed by 'Lalit sharma, Ankita sharma, Amal sharma, Kuldeep gupta, chandan swaroop & Harinder nagar' the young satyagrahis. Mr. Ramesh sharma from Gandhi peace foundation, Mr. Diwan singh ji from National heritage first, Mr. Rajender singh ji Jal biradari also planted plants.

The decision was taken to fight with more power and with the new inflow of satyagrahis, Miss. Madhu kishwer, Mr. Roopchand nagar, Moulana ji , Mr. Sanjay sharma from Bharat punarninman dal & others.

कुत्ता सो जो कुत्ता पाले,
कुत्ता सो जो नानक वाले,
बहन घर भाई, सो कुत्ते दा कुत्ता;
सोरे घर ज्वाई, सो कुत्ते दा कुत्ता;
हिक कुत्ता तू ओवी भाल, सोरा फ़िरे ज्वाई नाल;
हिक कुत्ता तू ओवी लिख, बामण हो के बन गया सिख;
हिक कुत्ता ओवी भोंके, अपने ज्युंदया धन नूआं पुत्तरां नू सोपे ।

समाधान

एक बूढा व्यक्ति था। उसकी दो बेटियां थीं। उनमें से एक का विवाह एक कुम्हार से हुआ और दूसरी का एक किसान के साथ।

एक बार पिता अपनी दोनों पुत्रियों से मिलने गया। पहली बेटी से हालचाल पूछा तो उसने कहा कि इस बार हमने बहुत परिश्रम किया है और बहुत सामान बनाया है। बस यदि वर्षा न आए तो हमारा कारोबार खूब चलेगा।

बेटी ने पिता से आग्रह किया कि वो भी प्रार्थना करे कि बारिश न हो।

फिर पिता दूसरी बेटी से मिला जिसका पति किसान था। उससे हालचाल पूछा तो उसने कहा कि इस बार बहुत परिश्रम किया है और बहुत फसल उगाई है परन्तु वर्षा नहीं हुई है। यदि अच्छी बरसात हो जाए तो खूब फसल होगी। उसने पिता से आग्रह किया कि वो प्रार्थना करे कि खूब बारिश हो।
एक बेटी का आग्रह था कि पिता वर्षा न होने की प्रार्थना करे और दूसरी का इसके विपरीत कि बरसात न हो। पिता बडी उलझन में पड गया। एक के लिए प्रार्थना करे तो दूसरी का नुक्सान। समाधान क्या हो ?

पिता ने बहुत सोचा और पुनः अपनी पुत्रियों से मिला। उसने बडी बेटी को समझाया कि यदि इस बार वर्षा नहीं हुई तो तुम अपने लाभ का आधा हिस्सा अपनी छोटी बहन को देना। और छोटी बेटी को मिलकर समझाया कि यदि इस बार खूब वर्षा हुई तो तुम अपने लाभ का आधा हिस्सा अपनी बडी बहन को देना।

चार पत्नियाँ

पुराने समय की बात है! एक व्यापारी की चार पत्नियाँ थी! वह चौथी पत्नी से सबसे ज्यादा प्रेम करता था! उसे सुंदर गहने देता और रोज उसके लिए स्वादिष्ट भोजन का प्रबंध करता! व्यापारी को अपनी तीसरी पत्नी से भी बेहद लगाव था! जब वह उसके साथ बाहर निकलती तो उसे बड़ा गर्व होता, हालाँकि उसे यह भी डर सताता था कि कहीं वह किसी और के साथ ना चली जाए! व्यापारी की दूसरी पत्नी उससे बेहद लगाव रखती थी! व्यापारी भी उसे चाहता था और जब भी कोई समस्या होती, तो वह उसी से सलाह मशविरा करता ! उसकी चौथी पत्नी उसके प्रति पूरी तरह से वफादार थी! वह उसका पूरा ख्याल रखती थी, लेकिन व्यापारी को उसकी परवाह ना थी! न ही कभी वह उसके गहरे प्यार को समझ पाया!
बहरहाल, एक बार व्यापारी बहुत बीमार पड़ गया! ऐसा पड़ा कि बिस्तर से ना उठ सका! जब उसे पता चला कि उसका अंत समय निकट आ गया है, तो उसे बड़ी हताशा हुई! उसने सोचा कि चार-चार पत्नियाँ होते हुए उसे अपनी अन्तिम यात्रा पर अकेले जाना पड़ रहा है! सो, उसने अपनी सबसे प्रिय चौथी पत्नी को बुलाया और उसे अपने साथ ले जाने की इच्छा जताई! पत्नी ने तपाक से कहा 'नही' और बाहर निकल गई! व्यापारी का दिल ही टूट गया! उसने तीसरी पत्नी से भी वही बात कही, तो उसने ना सिर्फ़ साफ़ इन्स्कार कर दिया, बल्कि यह भी कह दिया कि व्यापारी कि मौत के बाद वह किसी और से शादी कर लेगी! दूसरी पत्नी का जवाब था कि वह श्मशान घाट तक ही उसका साथ दे सकती है! अब व्यापारी ने पहली पत्नी को बुलाया! वह बहुत कमजोर नजर आ रही थी! लगता था कि उसे खाने को बहुत कम मिलता है! उसने जब पति की इच्छा सुनी, तो सहर्ष जवाब दिया कि मैं हमेशा आपके साथ चलूंगी, चाहे आप जहाँ भी रहे! उसकी बात सुनकर व्यापारी ने संतोष के साथ आँखे मूँद ली!

सबक के बगैर कहानी अधूरी रहेगी !
दरअसल, उस व्यापारी की तरह हम सभी की चार पत्नियाँ है! चौथी पत्नी हमारा शरीर है, जिसे हम खिलाते-पिलाते और सजाते-संवारते है, पर मौत के साथ ही उसका साथ भी छूट जाता है! तीसरी पत्नी हमारी धन-संपत्ति है, जो हमारे बाद किसी और की हो जानी है! दूसरी पत्नी यानी हमारे परिजन, जो हमसे लगाव तो रखते है, पर उनका साथ श्मशान तक ही रहता है! पहली पत्नी है हमारी अच्छाईयां, जो मौत के बाद ही हमसे जुड़ी रहती है! लेकिन खेद की बात है कि हम जीते जी अपनी अच्छाई पर बिल्कुल ध्यान नही देते और भौतिक सुख-सुविधाओ के लिए ही लगे रहते है!

10 Tips

There are many health risks associated with a sedentary lifestyle we often feel overwhelmed with the mere thought of exercise, even though we know the benefits are plentiful. Not only is exercise good for your health but it is also good for your mind and overall sense of well being. So now is the perfect time to commit you to developing new personal fitness goals. So every year you tell yourself that this will be your year to get fit. Then, within three weeks into January you are back to your old pre-New Year's Resolution habits.

Here are some tips for making exercise a permanent part of your lifestyle:

1. Commit yourself.
Get moving! Just do it! There is no time like today, so why not get started now? Sit down and develop your plan of action and stick with it. You really do owe it to yourself and your family.

2. Set your goals.
Set goals, both short-term and long-term goals, and allow yourself rewards for meeting them. For example, you could set a short-term goal to exercise 3-4 times a week for 30 minutes of cardiovascular exercise and 30 minutes of strength training. Your long-term goal could be to lose weight or lower your cholesterol level. A sample reward could be that for every four weeks that you meet your goals you could get a massage, a new piece of clothing, a movie, or an evening without the kids.

3. Abandon an all-or-nothing attitude.
Don't think of exercise with an all-or-nothing approach. If you don't get to exercise as planned, that's okay, just get back on track tomorrow. Set realistic exercise goals but understand that some weeks you will meet your goals and other weeks you won't. If you don't reach your goals do what you can. Just keep moving and you will feel much happier. You don't want to give up on your exercise program since it is such a great way to help relieve stress!

4. Don't overdo it.
It is very common for people to try to exercise every day once they start an exercise program. However, this can often lead to exercise burnout and may lead to discontinuing exercise altogether. Therefore, you should set goals, which will enable you to improve your fitness level without overdoing it.

5. Be efficient
Make sure that you are working out at a good intensity level for you. Find out your target heart rate range and aim for the upper end of it. Make sure you break a sweat. Also, the higher the intensity level, the more total calories you burn per minute of exercise. However, you do not want to work out so hard that you can only exercise for a short period of time. Your goal should be 3-4 times per week for 30-45 minutes of continuous aerobic activity. At first, you might need to take a few breaks but as you become more fit you will be able to exercise for longer periods of time.

6. Schedule it.
It's so easy to get overwhelmed at work and skip your workout. One solution is to treat your workout like a business meeting. Write it in your planner and keep the appointment. After all, you will perform better at work if you are taking care of yourself.

7. Make exercise easy.
It is very important to recognize your own barriers to exercise. Do you have trouble getting to the gym if you go home first? Do you always hit the snooze button when you plan to workout in the morning? Do you ever forget your gym clothes? Once you identify your barriers to exercise it is imperative that you try to reduce or eliminate them. Pack your gym bag the night before or keep a few extra sets of gym clothes in your car or at work. Go straight to the gym after work if you tend to have difficulty going once at home.

8. Get adventurous.
Try a new activity every month to avoid boredom. This will also add more variety to your fitness routine. Fitness can be a lot of fun, so think of new ways to add it to your life. Some ideas are kayaking, tennis, hiking, biking, or Family Olympics. Look on the Internet for local hiking or biking trails in your area. If you are a member at a local gym, ask them to show you how to use that piece of equipment that you have been eyeing in the gym but you are not sure how to use.

9. Do it at home.
Can't make it to the gym? Well, that's no excuse! Go to the local sports store or discount store (e.g. Target or Wal-Mart) and purchase some dumbbells according to your level of fitness. Start out with a set of 3 and 5 pound weights.

10. Enlist an exercise buddy.
It always helps to exercise with a friend since you can help motivate each other on those "I don't want to exercise" days.
