झुठी शान के परिंदे ही ज्यादा फड़फड़ाते हैं !
तरक्की के बाज़ की उडान में कभी आवाज़ नहीं होती
मैंने कुछ लोग ऐसे भी गरीब देखे हैं
जिनके पास पैसे के सिवा कुछ भी नहीं.
दिखते हैं पर नज़र नहीं आते
कुछ लोग कितने दूर हो जाते हैं.
खुद” को “अच्छा” साबित करने में
“वक्त” बर्बाद मत करना,
क्योंकि…
“सभी” इसी में लगे हुए हैं।
मुसीबतों से उभरती है शख्सियत यारो
जो चट्टानों से न उलझे वो झरना किस काम का.
हर किसी को खुश रख सकूँ, वो तरीका मुझे नहीं आता
जो मैं नहीं हूँ वैसा दिखने का, सलीका मुझे नहीं आता
लगी है प्यास चलो रेत निचोड़ी जाए ,
अपने हिस्से में समंदर नहीं आने वाला
जो झुकते हैं ज़िन्दगी में वो बुज़दिल नही होते
यह हुनर होता हैं उनका हर रिश्ता निभाने का
मंजिल मिले ना मिले
ये तो मुकदर की बात है
हम कोशिश भी ना करे
ये तो गलत बात है..

Little bee, no swerving from your line when you deliver the goods back home.
A busy place with no door but when you enter you still use your buzzer.
Then back again from flower to flower, collecting the pollen that gives you power.
It’s home again, little bundles carried to feed the Queen

Justice is a matter of belief that fairness has won the day, that truth and honesty has prevailed …
But alas, Justice is only a perception that many times is corrupted by greed …

What’s on my mind?
Indigenous peoples and their worry about being over run by other populations I guess could sum it up.
I suppose if cougars, wolves, elephants and such learned to shoot guns or band together better they would kick out the human populations who have transgressed on their land but as people go I believe we need to understand the reason for others unlawfully entering areas already overpopulated.
Overpopulation where they come from, economic despair, greed, the making of money into a God and the lust for power over others seem to be good places to start .
Seems to me that as people from a planet with finite resources we need to try to make all places a good place to live so people want to stay where they are. Make everywhere a good place to be.
Sharing with others does not have to mean give away my happiness but it could mean helping you gain yours. I hope I can do that with more than one other and if we all did it for just two other people it would cure the problem in my mind at least.

I was just thinking that it’s not the perfect flower I look for in my photography, it’s the perfect feeling, same with my friends, they all have little flaws just like me but when I close my eyes and think of them I only know the sweet essence of their perfection and see how wonderful life is to let me see them … Love you all !

creative commons search "name" |
As someone who has a background in feminist studies, I know that the naming of things is important. There is a power in a name, and politics exist within the realm of naming as well.
What does this have to do with libraries and librarianship? Quite a bit.
When I was in library school back in the mid 90s, my graduate school was going through reaccreditation. One of the issues on the table was renaming the school. On the table was changing the degree from a Masters in Library and Information Studies to a Masters in Information Studies. Heated debates ensued, but at the end of it all, the students felt that it was really important to leave the word library in the title of the degree.
In the world of school libraries, after a stint of media centers, it seems that the term of favor now is Information Commons. My response to this is that I think that the very idea of information commons is implicit in the idea of libraries. I do understand that the term IC is probably much sexier when it comes to funding. Whenever I tell folks I am a school I usually get a chuckle and nudge and told either I don't look like a librarian, or asked if I still teach Dewey. I know if I told them I was worked in an information commons in an academic setting I might get a little more respect. I find myself, however, sticking to the terms library and librarian.
Trust me, I have done plenty of reflection regarding whether or not I am simply becoming one of those "GET OFF MY LAWN" people. I really don't think that is it. I don't think that I am clinging to something that is outdated. Rather, I think that folks really need to broaden their view of what it means to be a librarian and work in a library.
What do you think is in a name?
जय रक्तदाता
बात 1974 की हैं तब मैं नौ साल की थी. हम हरियाणा के जींद मे रहते थे. वहां शाम को अक्सर रेस्ट हाउस मे खेलने जाते. वहाँ एक पानी से भरा pond था. खेलते खेलते अचानक एक लडकी उसमें गिर गई बच्चे तो बहुत खेल् रहे थे पर मैने आगे बढ कर उसे डूबने से बचाया. दिन सभी बच्चे मेरी जयजयकार करते हुए उस लडकी को घर ले गए. उस दिन के बाद से और लगभग आज से तीन साल पहले तक मैं यह बात हर किसी को बताती कि मैने एक बच्ची को डूबने से बचाया.( वैसे वो लडकी आज चंढीगढ मे सफल वकील है)
पर तीन साल पहले जब मुझे रक्तदान के बारे मे जानकारी हुई और मैने इस क्षेत्र मे काम करना शुरु किया तो उस बचपन की धटना को मै बिल्कुल भूलती चली गई. तीन साल पहले एक मित्र का फोन आया कि 2 साल की बच्ची के दिल आप्रेशन होना है खून चाहिए तब संजय गुप्ता जी की मदद से दो चार डाक्टरो को फोन किया और अनायास ही उस बच्ची की मदद हो गई यानि खून का इंतजाम करवा दिया और दस दिन बाद बच्ची सकुशल घर लौट गई. इसके बाद और भी फोन आने लगे और मैने अपना देश भर में नेट वर्क बनाना शुरु किया और तब से अब तक कितने लोगो की मदद कर चुकी हू अब गिनती भी नही है इसके लिए मेरा अकेली का योगदान नही था. इसके लिए मेरे मित्र बहुत सहायक सिद्द हुए हालाकि बहुत को तो मैं जानती भी नही हू मात्र फोन पर ही बात हुई पर यह जरुर पता था कि यह लोग रक्तदान के प्रति बेहद बेहद जागरुक है और वाकई मे इस क्षेत्र मे कुछ करना चाहते हैं
14 जून वर्ड ब्लड डोनर्स डे के उपलक्ष मे मैं अपने कुछ रक्तदाता दोस्तों को धन्यवाद देना चाह्ती हूं डाक्टर संगीता पाठक(दिल्ली), डाक्टर रवनीत कौर(चंडीगढ), श्री राकेश सांगर (पंचकुला) , दिल्ली की ब्लड कनेक्ट की पूरी कर्मठ, जोशीली और मेहनती टीम, श्री राजेंद्र महेश्वरी(भीलवाडा), श्री दीपक शुक्ला(जलगांव) , डाक्टर सोनू सिह (दिल्ली), जगदीश कुमार (जम्मू) संगीता वधवा(मुम्बई)
बात ये नही है कि ये कहाँ कहां रहते हैं आज आन लाईन के जमाने मे सब तुरंत हो जाता है. इन का नेट वर्क इतना मजबूत है कि कोशिश करके ये कही न कही से रक्तदाता खोज ही लेते हैं आज की तारीख मे मेरे पास ऐसे 30 से ज्यादा नाम हैं जो इस क्षेत्र मे अभूतपूर्व कार्य कर रहे हैं और मेरा प्रयास यही रहता है कि आज की तारीख मे किसी भी जरुरत मंद का फोन आए तो मै कैसे भी करके मदद कर सकूं.
इन सभी ने मुझे विश्वास जताया है कि जब भी रक्त की जरुरत हो आप फोन करिए इंतजाम हो जाएगा. मुझे लगता है कि दुख और परेशानी की घडी मे अगर ये शब्द सुनने को मिल जाए तो तकलीफ आधी हो जाती है.
बेशक, रक्तदान के क्षॆत्र मे अभी बहुत बदलाव आना बाकि है लोगो मे जागरुकता लानी बहुत जरुरी है पर जब ऐसे कर्मठ और मेहनती लोग होंगें तो जल्द ही वो दिन भी आएगा कि जब देश मे शत प्रतिशत स्वैच्छिक रक्तदान होगा.
यकीन मानिए बहुत खुशी का अहसास होता है जब वो स्वस्थ होकर घर चला जाते है. जरुरतमंंद को जब कहती हूं कि आप चिंता मत कीजिए इंतजाम हो जाएगा तो उसकी फोन पर भराई आवाज मे जो एक खुशी झलकती है वो बयान नही की जा सकती. यकीन मानिए उस दिन खुशी के मारे भूख प्यास भी उड जाती है.
अंत मैं बहुत बहुत धन्यवाद देती हूँ डाक्टर युद्दबीर सिह ख्यालिया जी का जिन्होने मुझे ISBTI( इंडियन सोसाईटी आफ ब्लड ट्रासफ्यूजन एंड ईम्योनोहैमोटोलोजी) के माध्यम से रक्तदान की महत्ता से रुबरु करवाया.
मोनिका गुप्ता
आपकी नम आखें देख कर कोई जब आपसे इसका कारण पूछे और आप कहे कि “शायद आखँ में कुछ गिर गया है ” तो इसका मतलब साफ है कि you have learnt how to survive …
अच्छे होते हैं बुरे लोग…..
कम से कम
अच्छे होने का दिखावा तो नहीं करते
बेशक मेरे ऐब मुझे उंगलिओं पे गिनवाओ
बस मेरी गैर- मौजूदगी मैं मुझे बुरा मत कहना
चंद सिक्कों को सिर से वार फेर देती है माँ
कुछ इस तरह से भी दर्द उतार देती है माँ (मोनिका )

Gender seems to be perpetually in the air in the world of librarianship and children's literature. I have been in this field for a while now and have worked in some different settings, but my setting of well over 10 years now has been in a school.
Over the past month or so I have been paying more attention than usual to our collection, gender and circulation. I first started off simply with a post-it and two columns. Each time a student would check out a book, I would mark off the column with the gender identification. Every day the results would be similar. The boys and girls in my school check out a similar amount of books.
I then decided to utilize the catalog software. (Anyone who knows me knows that I *love* running statistics!) I started off looking at the top ten patrons (those with the highest number of check outs) for the month, then I ran it back to the last 9 months of the school year. The results? Out of the top 10 patrons, 7 of them are boys. Open the stats up to the top 50 patrons and the gender mix gets closer - 26 girls and 24 boys make up our top 50.
I have many thoughts about the why of this. We have 4 librarians shepherding our students through their years at school. Our early childhood librarian is a man, so one of the students first looks at what a reader looks like is Jesse. We are very mindful about the books we share with our students, and we try incredibly hard to make sure there is a variety with characters who are diverse in all sorts of ways. When we find stereotypes, we talk about them with the students. We don't go in for the "Girl's Read" "Guys Read" variety of booklists or book talks. In fact, two of my favorite anecdotes about assumptions helped make me more aware of my own gender bias after being steeped in this girls vs boys culture my whole life. We have a boy who is a super reader, and he mostly (to my knowledge) was a reader of graphic novels. He pretty much read everything we had for his age group by the time he was done with 4th grade. At the end of the year, I ask the students to reflect and I ask them their favorite title. His favorite title of all time? The Penderwicks by Birdsall. We also had a group of middle school boys who quietly came into the library and methodically checked out every single Clique book. They didn't hide them, read them out in the open, and felt no shame along the way.
It's really up to the adults in the room to set the tone and fight against the pink and blue tide. Create a reading culture, make sure you are not perpetuating the stereotype by handing boys sports books and girls friendship books. Highlight books that get outside of the gender box. Remember, there are no such thing as boy books and girl books, no matter what some marketing departments might say.

A quite lively discussion has blown in from space on a friends Face-postcard about something I forgot because it went a completely different way in short order and is now a history lesson on indigenous peoples.
It was said the “Native “”American”” people” were here first and that they claim to be “Indigenous” and that they have their traditional stories to back up their claim to properties etc.
That got me to thinking (usually leads to minor disasters) that just because someone in your past lived some place and told creation stories doesn’t always mean you have any more rights than the guy who was born there after you lost the battle, in my case way after.
I know, growing up, my mother used to tell me, when I asked how I got here that I came from heaven and perhaps, if I’m a good boy, God will give me land there again though I think he may balk at the casino I want to build even if it is to take all the sinner’s money or credits or what ever the currency of his realm is.
And further more if in the past there was only one super continent, Pangaea or what ever they really called it, then we all have a claim to everywhere cause we are all descendants of the original inhabitants and I’ll bet a dollar to a doughnut there aint anywho who can tell me where they thought they came from even after the break up.
I thought perhaps we are all from Mars via the Pleiades star system but had to leave cause the Marshonians wanted the place back so we moved on as they had come from the Hercules system to Mars first.
To send every one back to where they came from is stupid, you can’t fit that many people on Ellis Island let alone grow enough hemp there to have a trade economy with New York.
I don’t know the answer other than if we don’t start being natives from “EARTH” the little grey men will boot us out and wipe out the myths of our origins from then to eternity.
It’s a race none us may win …

I would like to think that I could come up with some Geo-Terra-forming-hyper-thoughts but can only come up with the belief that I am correct to feel immortal and know that even after I go to the next eternity, that itself will end, and “I” become some horrific to these “Now ” eyes, some specimen of thing unknowable to this consciousness, yet another “thing” that feels correct to it’s nature and has no thought of being not correct, that after an eternity of these formations and resurrections and deaths I will sink into the opposite sludge of nonexistence but after a time, that is not time, will again float to the surface *POP* out and start all over again.

Each day is filled with work. My work is fun, but there are still decisions to make and a path to stay on. There are meetings to schedule and deadlines to meet. It can be a constant process of thought and movement.
I have stopped for the day. I stopped to look over my idea book and enjoy the summer breeze. The are ideas everywhere and sometimes you cannot find the ones that are in the calm of the day if you don’t stop to look and listen.
My doggie stands guard to protect me from squirrels, my other doggie wanted the cool of the air in the house. I listen to the wind kicking up. I hear cars from a nearby street. I feel sure that the birds are discussing what’s for dinner. My feel are hot in my sneakers that are still on since my morning walk. My daisies look like they are reaching for the sky. The weeds are tall on the north side of my house. My thoughts travel to what to make for dinner. (I resist that thought for now). My daughter turned 35 today! That makes me smile as I remember her entrance into this world and her loud voice!
All of these are but fleeting thoughts. Sometimes a fleeting thought will make into a story, but you must take the time to stop, look and listen.
Now I dive into my idea book!

When I teach writing, I realize that I make everything sound like it’s a straightforward process. Well, it’s not. Listen to Anne Lamott:
Writing a first draft is very much like watching a Polaroid develop. You can’t–and in face, you’re not supposed to–know exactly what the picture is going to look like until it has finished developing. Anne Lamott, novelist and essayist.
When we discuss writing, we separate out the voice, the character, the plot, the language used, etc. so we can actually find useful things to talk about. And there are many useful and helpful things to discuss. However, the actual writing is a combination of all these, a gestalt. The whole is greater than its parts.
It’s helpful to embrace uncertainty in the writing process, to just write and see what happens. Those of you who are outliners–who plot endlessly and have cards for every scene–you still have to just write. You’ve managed to remove one level of uncertainty, but there are still enough layers left to keep you on your toes. You still must make decisions on what details to include, what words will express the thoughts, and so much more.
For every sentence, there are numerous decisions to be made: the basic thought expressed, nuances of that thought, connecting the thought to what came before and what follow, the vocabulary, the sentence structure, and punctuation and spelling. Outliners only manage to eliminate the first choice and maybe ease the nuances and connections of the thought to other thoughts.
Every time you face the blank page, you face uncertainty. It’s a normal part of the writing process.
