B'day of a loved one


Today, 29th march, b'day of a loved one of mine... but unfortunately, I can't share the feelings with the person. It was never like we were very close, but it never was as far as we are now. I was always there knowingly or unknowingly...

I know, I miss the things we shared, but I pretend as if I am not...

I know, it won't reach there, but I really hope this message to speak a lot...

I know, it’s beyond our hand, but I still wish if my hands were so long...

Why human beings bound itself to a boundary, why don't we express ourselves at times... why we cheat ourselves?

Oh my almighty, in the times to come, please save my little circle of trust!!


Lives don't cheat, we cheat !!


Lives don't cheat, we cheat,

Knowing it’s not gonna repeat

We blame the time,

But its lack of our feat

It made us distant,

And created a lot of heat

We thought it just happened,

But it’s in the human meat

I've seen loosing people,

Just from the fear of defeat

The time and memory we shared,

I doubt things can be more neat

I just prey the almighty,

To keep me far from the human greed

Lives don't cheat, we cheat,

Knowing it’s not gonna repeat

History of President's Rule in Bihar


It is the 8th time when president's rule is imposed in Bihar.

President's rule was imposed for the first time in the state on June 29, 1968 when Bhola Paswan Shastri, succumbing to pulls and pressures from various constituents of his Sanyukta Vidhayak Dal (SVD), resigned and asked the governor to recommend central rule, which lasted till February 26, 1969.

It was imposed again on July 4, 1969 and January 9, 1972, both times when Bhola Paswan Shastri was the Chief Minister, as he could not manage his squabbling coalition partners.

Bihar was brought under central rule for the fourth time on April 30, 1977 when Jagannath Mishra's Congress government was dismissed after Morarji Desai became Prime Minister. It lasted till June 24, 1977.

With the failure of Janata experiment and return of Indira Gandhi to power, she dismissed Ramsunder Das ministry of Janata Party and President's Rule was imposed for the fifth time on February 17, 1980, which continued till June 8, 1980.

The state again came under a brief spell of President's Rule for six days for technical reasons as the assembly could not be constituted till March 15, 1995, due to non-completion of election process.

Central rule was imposed for the seventh time on February 12, 1999 by BJP-led NDA government following the massacre of 22 people at a village on January 25 and killing of 11 of Dalits in Jehanabad district on February 10 which continued till March 9, 1999.

However, as Congress came to the rescue of Rabri Devi government and declared to vote against the central government resolution in the Rajya Sabha where it had the majority, the resolution was withdrawn and President's Rule revoked on March 9, 1999 after 25 days.

And seemingly, this time, it will go for long. Unfortunate but true in the history of Bihar, here ruler changes faster than rules do.
