India — My Heavenly Abode By Anshuman Gupta

WHAT IS LOVE?

So how does one define ‘love’? It’s amazing how such a small word is so difficult to define, and yet has been beautifully expressed in a myriad of ways. But one thing is clear–the word elicits the deepest of our emotions and makes us do wonders.
What about the love for one’s country? We all love our country. We call it patriotism and wear it on our sleeves. We hoist flags, paint our faces in shades of tricolour during cricket matches, and play our national anthem in our cinema halls. We swear by our love for our nation, and deride anybody who highlights any problem, right? We take pride in our culture, values and diversity, natural beauty and our warm, welcoming inhabitants.
We do not want to listen to anything negative, and why should we? After all, we are positive people, and we should look at only the good part, and ignore the rest. Well, should we? Is that what one does to one’s loved ones? Take the good part, and discard the bad part? Can ignorance ever be a precursor to eternal bliss? If we turn a blind eye to the burning issues of our motherland, would that still be called ‘love’? If we continue to be fine with the way our country has been subjected to plunder by marauding fraudsters and corrupt public servants, won’t our country keep singing the song by Haddaway, “Don’t Hurt Me, nomore… What is Love?”

BlueRose Publishers Presents 'The Storm in the Silence' by Nikhlesh Mathur

The Storm in the Silence “Your medicine, which disappeared at City-cure, is in Dinshaw,” Aarti read the message repeatedly. She was overjoyed. She understood what he referred to.  “I am coming there immediately,” she called him on a cell phone. “No,” he replied, “If the police recognize you here then God forbid they might put him in some other hospital.” “Then what should she do?” She glanced at ward forty-two. The door was still closed. Aarti endures the storm in silence, she sustains the attacks on her with courage, she maneuvers her moves cleverly. She defies the odds. She also fires back without worrying about any blizzard which surrounds her. Her cries don’t pin her down; her tears don’t make her prosaic. She takes the charge in her own hands when she finds the world of men, including her loved ones, drawing battle lines for her.  But she refuses to throw down the gauntlet.  Like a warrior woman, she outclasses her adversaries with characteristic astuteness u...

BlueRose Publishers presents The Wheel of Creation by Rakhi Roy Halder

Science Never Clashes with Spirituality The Wheel of Creation is the English translation of the collected volume of Hindi poems “Srishti Chakra” written by Rakhi Roy Halder. Her students of Loreto college, Kolkata translated many poems of this book, under the guidance of the editor of the book Subhasree Basu, faculty of Loreto College. Man is an integral part of creation. His life is governed by the law of the universe. The human intellect categorizes things for the convenience of understanding. This categorization leads to a disintegrated view of creation. Science versus spirituality is one such example of disintegrated vision. As described by Swapna Behera—Educationist, Editor, and Bilingual Author, The Wheel of Creation is a rare combination of Science and Poetry. This collection of poems aims at expressing the roller coaster ride that is life and uniting the spiritual and scientific consciousness to reveal the magical power of energy flowing through the entire universe, which pla...

BlueRose Publishers Presents ‘मत करो कलंकित मानवता’ by Ramesh Chhabra

विकास के लिए शांति जरुरी ! यह महसूस किया जा रहा है कि देश में धार्मिक कट्टरता और हिंसा बढ़ रही है जिससे पारस्परिक सौहार्द प्रभावित होता है। एक ओर प्रधानमंत्री विदेशों में भारत का सम्मान बढ़ाने का प्रयास करते दिखते हैं, दूसरी ओर उन्हीं के दल के कुछ लोग विवादास्पद बयान जारी कर घृणा बढ़ाने का काम कर देते हैं। हिंसा होती है जिसमें गौ रक्षकों द्वारा की गयी मोब लिंचिंग की घटनाएं होती हैं और भारत की ख्याति को धक्का लगता है। देश ने दंगों का दंश झेला है। हम इसे और सहन नहीं कर सकते। दुःख इस बात का है कि हमारे राजनेता सत्ता के लालच में इस तनाव को हवा देते हैं जबकि देश की तरक्की व विकास, देश में शांति बरकरार रहने से ही संभव है। जहाँ आपसी तनाव और नफरत होगी वहां आप शांति की कल्पना नहीं कर सकते और जहाँ शांति नहीं, वहां विकास नहीं हो सकता। चूँकि देश को विकास चाहिए, युवकों को रोजगार चाहिए और ऐसा समाज चाहिए जहाँ बच्चों को अच्छी शिक्षा मिले, महिलाएं भी आज़ादी से सुरक्षित रह सकें। इन सबके लिए शांति और सद्भाव जरुरी और पहली शर्त है, जिसे हम भूल रहे हैं। Shop:  Amazon ,  Flipkart ,  Shop...
