When Arun met his daughter Shweta

The Sealdah Rajdhani was about to depart from Sealdah on 26^th May 2008 when Arun  boarded  the coach  and chanced to spot a young pretty girl of about eighteen and her father. The girl’s worried face confirmed that she would travel to Delhi all alone as Arun’s  co-passenger. As the train signaled for departure, the  father planted a very affectionate kiss on her daughter’s forehead and hurriedly left the compartment not before waiving at  Arun  to indicate that he  had to take care of the most precious thing of his life for the next   seventeen odd hours. Since all other six berths of  their  side of coach remained unoccupied till Durgapur,the next scheduled Rajdhani stoppage, the girl looked little bit nervous and Arun  had to ease   her by starting the conversation from his  side. Through one of her  talk on mobile Arun  came to know that the day before she had appeared for a medical entrance examination there at Kolkata . He  asked her to show him  the question paper  because it  was mere a coincidence  that the day before he  was desperately looking for the same for his  son’s preparartion for the same examination two years after .The question paper’s top page  had her name scribbled in her neat hand writing and that was “Shweta”.Shweta  was returning to Delhi where she was attending a coaching institute somewhere  in Munrica area , though her parents are settled in Barrackpore near Kolkata, her father being a Vice Principal there in Kendriya Vidyalaya.

 In last two years, Shweta had  been trying her luck in almost all renowned medical entrance examination of the country without much of success while continuing her coaching in an institute at Munrica. Arun  hardly guess  what Shweta found in  him   but went on telling him  in minute details about her family background, her Singapore settled marine engineer brother and his wife , her Bombay settled medico  elder sister and her husband   and about lot of pressure from them to pursue a medical career  at any cost. Frustration was writ large on her face for not getting any success  though she continued to struggle hard as she was preparing for the last two examinations of the year  on next two  Sundays, as according to her, if she did not find her name in  merit list of any institute within another fortnight or so, in that case she would have no choice left but to join some general line subjects in some ordinary college of either Delhi or Kolkata.

  Through her conversation Arun  was certain about one thing that she was probably passing through the most critical phase of her life as she was under tremendous mental pressure to crack  some prestigious medical entrance exam that  year for which she was putting extra effort for such a long period. It was almost a do-or-die situation for her.

 Arun  found a great similarity  between  her story and of his  when about  27 years  back he  was also facing similar  dilemma before finally getting into an engineering college in Kolkata. Arun  tried  his  best to counsel   her.

Any way, other passengers in Durgapur joined them   and they  had to pull down berths for sleeping.  As Arun  was going to prepare his  lower berth bed for sleeping, Shweta promptly asked him  to stand aside and took all the pain to bring down the blankets,pillow. Bedsheet etc for him  and neatly prepared the bed for him.  That is the point that made Arun  realize that  he  was  one of the most unfortunate  father for not having a daughter like  Shweta.

 The next day morning, Arun  gave her  his  home address and telephone no.  and requested her to send a copy of those questions to him . Shweta was interested to know for whom he  needed them. Arun  told her about his  only son who had then just  appeared in the 10^th class examination and who was very must interested to  join some engineering college there in Kolkata  after passing 12^th. But what he  didn’t tell her that his  only son always  fight with his parents  for not  providing him an elder sister. Could  Shweta  take on that role?

 Arun  promised  her that he  would drop her at Munrica and come back  to New Delhi Station as his  train to Hardwar was  scheduled to depart around 3.30 PM   and  the Rajdhani’s arrival at  New Delhi was around 10.30 AM. But that was not to be. The train movement before Ghaziabad got disrupted due to some local people’s movement  and their  train started getting indefinitely delayed. But thank God that finally it landed at New Delhi station  around 3 PM. So Arun  had to rush to another platform to catch that train.  Shweta was initially bit worried thinking that if the train had delayed  for some more hours ,then she would have  no other option left  but to travel to Munrica all alone at night.  She  also felt  greatly relieved on reaching  the station by that time.

After getting down Shweta touched  Arun’s  feet  and sought  blessing before quickly disappearing into the milling crowd of the station. That was probably their  last few moments of togetherness. Arun  just whispered  in Shweta’s  ears “ God bless you, my child”.  Arun   could hardly suppress his  tears which was of an unknown father for his unknown daughter.

নক্ষত্র পতন

(উৎসর্গ -  জীবন থেকে হারিয়ে যাওয়া  নক্ষত্র কে )

মন খারাপের অন্ধকারে ঢাকা
রাতের ছায়াপথ,
হঠাৎ গভীর অন্ধকার ফুঁড়ে
এক পলকের মহাজাগতিক  ঝলকানি,
ছায়াপথের অসমাপ্ত যাত্রায়-
মূহুর্তে পুড়ে ছাই তোমার অস্তিত্ব,
কন্ঠনালী পেঁচিয়ে বেদনার দলা।

তুমি সূর্য্য নও,
তোমার ফোটন কণা
নীলগ্রহে প্রাণ সঞ্চার করে না ,
এ গ্রহের অনাহুত অতিথি তুমি
তার সুরক্ষা বলয়ের বলি ।
শুধু এক কণা গলন্ত লাভায়
বুকের পাঁজরে  দগদগে তোমার ছাপ।

ছায়া পথের সুদূর প্রান্তে নিতান্তই
অকিঞ্চিৎকর , নিষ্প্রভ:  ছিল তোমার অস্তিত্ব
তথাপি আমার জীবনের ধ্রুব তারা
জীবনের পথ আলোকিত করার মত যথেষ্ট
শুনেছি  "বিদায়ী নক্ষত্র  তার কথা রাখে"
তা হ'লে কথা দাও -
পরের বার নক্ষত্র নয়, সুর্য্য হবে।

रचनात्मकता से व्यापारिक उत्कृष्टता एक सपना -     “मेक इन इंडिया”

वर्तमान वैश्विक प्रतिस्पर्धा के युग में व्यापारिक उत्कृष्टता प्राप्त करने हेतु सतत सुधार तथा विकास आवश्यक है और यह सतत सुधार तथा विकास उसी संस्थान का जारी रह सकता है जिसके कर्मचारी  रचनात्मक हो।  हमारे आदरणीय प्रधानमंत्री जी का सपना है “मेक इन इंडिया”  और  “मेक इन इंडिया” तभी संभव है जब भारत में उद्योगों तथा संस्थानों का सतत सुधार एवं विकास हो।  सतत विकास एवं सुधार की प्रमुख कड़ी है कर्मचारियों की रचनात्मकता ।

                            “सफलता की कहानी वही लिख पाया

                         जिसने रचनात्मकता को समझा और अपनाया ”

ईश्वर ने मानव को सोचने, समझने और इच्छा प्रकट करने की शक्ति प्रदान की है यही मानव की रचनात्मक शक्ति होती है । मानव का दिमाग एक बैंक खाते की तरह होता है,  जिस प्रकार बैंक खाते में धनराशि डेबिट एवं क्रेडिट होती है उसी प्रकार मानव के दिमाग में भी विचारों का डेबिट एवं क्रेडिट होता है । यदि मानव सही समय पर क्रेडिट विचारों का आत्म मंथन न करें तो वह समय उपरांत डेबिट हो जाते हैं और यदि सही समय पर क्रेडिट विचारों को रचनात्मक रुप से सोचें, उन्हें समझें तथा उन्हें अपनी रचनात्मक शक्ति से गति प्रदान करें तो वह स्वयं के साथ-2  संस्थान एवं हमारे देश भारत के हित में लाभकारी एवं उपयोगी साबित होते  है।

         

           “ आपका दिमाग  है एक बैंक खाता इसमें हर रोज नया विचार  है आता जाता,

               अच्छे विचारों को व्यर्थ ना जाने दे रचनात्मकता के रुप में बाहर आने दें | ”

कभी-कभी मानव इस बात से भी भयभीत रहता है कि पता नहीं हमारा विचार सही है अथवा गलत,  कोई क्या सोचेगा ?  कोई हम पर हंसेगा तो नहीं  ?  आदि –आदि ।  पर आप इन सब की चिंता को त्याग दें पूरे आत्मविश्वास के साथ रचनात्मक रुप से अपने विचारो को  प्रबंधन के सामने रखें यदि कोई परेशानी अथवा भय है,  तो अपने सुपरवाइजर एवं  अधिकारी से वार्ता तथा मंथन कर इसे दूर करें,   स्वयं पर विश्वास रखिए सच मानिए आपकी रचनात्मकता से दिया गया एक छोटा सा विचार बेहतर से बेहतर परिणाम सामने ला सकता है।  आपका एक छोटा सा विचार जो आपकी रचनात्मक शक्ति का परिचायक है एक पूरी कहानी को जन्म देता है जो शुरू तो होती है एक विचार के साथ तथा सुझाव, इंप्रूवमेंट प्रोजेक्ट , तकनीकी लेख ,कविता,  टेक्निकल पेपर,  पोस्टर,  स्लोगन के रास्ते आगे बढ़ते हुए रचनात्मकता को विकसित करते हुए व्यापारिक उत्कृष्टता की कहानी को अंजाम तक पहुंचाती है |

                            “ बस एक सोच से बन जाए पूरी कहानी

                         यही तो है मानव के रचनात्मकता की निशानी

                           क्या गलत क्या सही हम यह सोचे ना कभी

                             व्यापारिक  उत्कृष्टता का सपना हो पूरा

                               रह जाए ना कोई कमी ………………”

रचनात्मकता के प्रकार :-

हम अपनी रचनात्मकता को निम्नलिखित माध्यम से प्रकट कर सकते हैं जो निश्चित ही व्यापारिक उत्कृष्टता में एक मील का पत्थर है

ü सुझाव

ü  इंप्रूवमेंट प्रोजेक्ट

ü टेक्निकल पेपर

ü गुणता चक्र

ü तकनीकी लेख

ü  कविता

ü पोस्टर

ü स्लोगन

 उपरोक्त सभी रचनात्मकता को प्रकट करने का अलग-अलग माध्यम है परंतु सभी के द्वारा हम अपने संस्थान को अपने देश को विभिन्न लाभ दिला सकते हैं और निश्चित मानिए कि जब हमारे देश का,  हमारे संस्थान का लाभ होगा प्रगति होगी,  तो हमारा भी लाभ तथा प्रगति  अवश्य ही होगी |    

                “ अपनी रचनात्मकता से दे अपने संस्थान और देश का पूरा साथ

                      सबका होगा विकास जब होगा सबका पूरा-पूरा साथ ” 

रचनात्मकता  से व्यापारिक  उत्कृष्टता :-

आप की रचनात्मक सोच से निम्नलिखित लाभ संस्थान तथा देश को होंगे तथा संस्थान तथा देश व्यापारिक  उत्कृष्टता की ओर निरंतर अग्रसर होगा ।

Ø ऊर्जा की बचत

Ø  सामग्री एवं अन्य संसाधनों की बचत

Ø  श्रम घंटों की बचत

Ø  कार्य दशाओं में सुधार

Ø मशीन में सुधार

Ø अनुरक्षण में कमी

Ø तकनीकी विकास

Ø प्रक्रिया में सुधार

Ø टूल, जिग एवं फिक्सर में सुधार

Ø गुणवत्ता में वृद्धि

Ø  लागत में कमी

Ø पर्यावरण संरक्षण

Ø  सतत विकास

Ø  उत्पादकता में वृद्धि

Ø सकल लाभ में वृद्धि

Ø स्वयं के कार्य में सुधार

Ø  आत्म संतुष्टि

Ø ग्राहक संतुष्टि

इस प्रकार हम देखते हैं कि कर्मचारियों की रचनात्मक सोच से निकल कर आया एक छोटा सा विचार व्यापारिक उत्कृष्टता की दिशा में बहुत बड़ा परिवर्तन ला सकता है अगर हमें अपने आप को प्रतिस्पर्धा में बनाए रखना है तो हमें व्यापारिक उत्कृष्टता को बनाए रखना होगा और व्यापारिक  उत्कृष्टता को बनाए रखने हेतु हमें कर्मचारियों की रचनात्मक सोच के माध्यम से समय समय पर कार्य,  तकनीकी में परिवर्तन लाने होंगे तभी हम अपने प्रधानमंत्री जी के “ मेक इन इंडिया”  के सपने को साकार कर पाएंगे और हमारा भारत विश्व गुरु कहलाएगा |

     जो कर्मचारी तथा संस्थान रचनात्मक सोचेगा ,  वही  व्यापारिक  उत्कृष्टता दे पायेगा ,

     प्रधानमंत्री जी के “मेक इन इंडिया” का सहयोग कर भारत  को विश्व गुरू वनायेगा ।।

পরিপূরক

তুমি শুক, আমি সারী;

কাল ভাব, আজ আড়ি;

তুমি সুখ, আমি ব্যথা

রাত্তির ভর কথা।

তুমি চোখ, আমি দৃষ্টি;

তুমি মেঘ ,আমি বৃষ্টি;

তুমি সমুদ্র, আমি ভেলা

আজানার পথে চলা।

তুমি আফ্রিকা, আমি মরুভূমি;

তুমি বৃক্ষ, আমি ভূমি;

আমার মন জুড়ে শুধু তুমি।

আমি রাত,  তুমি দিন

আমার প্রেমে লীন।

আমি চাঁদ , তুমি সূর্য ;

আমি চঞ্চল, তুমি ধৈর্য ।

আমি বই, তুমি গল্প;

আমি কবি, তুমি কল্প;

তুমি শরীর, আমি আত্মা

এই’ত  প্রেমের সত্বা।

The Third Edition

Trinayan -The three eyes,(among all three the third one is most important) Trishul-The Trident, Tridev or the concept of Trinity , we see every where there is an importance of The number Three. So is our ALEEK PATA-The Expressive World blog's Third issue, it itself is a phenomenon.

Dear Friends, Good to see you again. This is a matter of great satisfaction to see you, the contributors and the followers to keep the torch glowing and that is the reason behind the continuity of ‘ALEEK PATA-The Expressive world‘ Blog.

Issue after issue ALEEK PATA is becoming a ‘Finder As well As Carrier of the Creativity, Energy and Enthusiasm in You, the Members of This Family’.

We understand that in today’s ‘Jet-Set-Go’ world it is quite a difficult task to take out some time for doing something extra, and even if we do, then it is far more difficult for us to wait for the results to come, perhaps people feel more cozy in the environment of social media as they get instant acknowledgement there by forwarding something, but, hat’s off to our Creators and followers who are Commendably In A Constant Creative Mode and are  actively nurturing their own original “Expressive World” - despite of the temptations of the lucrative world of social media.

In this age of ‘Information Bombardment’ it is very difficult to differentiate the copied and original creations. This led us to frame some norms which in long run shall prove their worth in establishing the credibility of this page and its contributors.

From This Issue we are introducing one new tab named "MULTIMEDIA BLOGS"  and for the first time we are publishing a Multimedia Blog, where the poetry  has been Recited by the poet herself.  

We keep on sharing the writings of this Blog page in our ‘Facebook’ page regularly so that none of the creations get unnoticed , and we inspire everyone to share their own or any others creation in our “facebook/ALEEK PATA” page or in their own social media timeline.

Our Blog has been designed not like a conventional Blog; rather it is more like a webpage, with full functional navigation tabs, easy personalised Sharing and Comment options and vibrant orientation.

Whenever you visit us - we request you to please make your presence counted by leaving your Valuable Comments below every creation; we have kept this option so that every individual creator gets his/her own stake of appreciation, which will enhance the writers  as well as the Blog as a whole.

Before saying goodbye we want to reiterate that 

“We want you, the Readers to Become a Writer in the Next Issues”

That’s all for now, signing off  with a promise to meet you soon.

Thank You
