नमस्ते सदा वत्सले मातृभूमे
त्वया हिन्दुभूमे सुखं वर्धितोहम् ।
महामङ्गले पुण्यभूमे त्वदर्थे
पतत्वेष कायो नमस्ते नमस्ते ।।१।।

प्रभो शक्तिमन् हिन्दुराष्ट्राङ्गभूता
इमे सादरं त्वां नमामो वयम्
त्वदीयाय कार्याय बध्दा कटीयं
शुभामाशिषं देहि तत्पूर्तये ।
अजय्यां च विश्वस्य देहीश शक्तिं
सुशीलं जगद्येन नम्रं भवेत्
श्रुतं चैव यत्कण्टकाकीर्ण मार्गं
स्वयं स्वीकृतं नः सुगं कारयेत् ।।२।।

समुत्कर्षनिःश्रेयसस्यैकमुग्रं
परं साधनं नाम वीरव्रतम्
तदन्तः स्फुरत्वक्षया ध्येयनिष्ठा
हृदन्तः प्रजागर्तु तीव्रानिशम् ।
विजेत्री च नः संहता कार्यशक्तिर्
विधायास्य धर्मस्य संरक्षणम् ।
परं वैभवं नेतुमेतत् स्वराष्ट्रं
समर्था भवत्वाशिषा ते भृशम् ।।३।।

।। भारत माता की जय ।।

 

 

CATWISE
It was raining CATS & DOGS in Mumbai day before yesterday!
Fellow Toastmasters, Good Afternoon to you all!
We hear this phrase quite often in monsoon, places may be different, but have we thought what does it mean?
Dog is supposed to be attendant of King Odin who is lord of Wind and Cats symbolizes heavy down pour.
A rain with heavy wind is what this phrase wants to say!
[Pause] Well, Cats are around all of us in one form or other….
On roads, in thoughts, in actions, sometimes in attitude also …crazy people call it CATTITUDE.

Being with cats is rejuvenating experience..
People who own pets live longer, have less stress, and have fewer heart attacks
but As every cat owner knows, nobody own a cat ! 32% of those who own their own home, also own at least one cat.
You know, cats can see 120 feet away that too in dark !
Don’t you think this fact gives new vision to look at DARK…. , may be future..
In cat’s eyes , everything belongs to cats..

Generally dogs are symbolized as Loyalty IKONS. Dogs come when they are called:
But cats take a message and gets back to you later.. Again a message…

They do the things at their leisure and wish…Cats lie on the floor in such a way that it interrupts maximum human traffic. That’s why in French they say Let sleeping cats lie ..in Hindu mythology Gods have different species as their WAHANS [ official carriers]..Our most beloved Lord Ganesh has mouse as his Wahan to whom cat makes a prey ..Surprisingly no deity has chosen cat ..
In the limited span of life cats are capable to produce more than 100 Kitten.
Cats are known for their very flexible nature, at one time they will enjoy the life when it is easy life, on the other hand when it is hard to even survive, cats fight in belligerent manner. No one will believe it is the same cat who used enjoy delicious cat food in home, now came on road for hunt.
As a belief cats are blessed with 9 lives , this shows their tremendous fighting ability and fertility

We have heard many words phrases, idioms, proverbs related to cats
Like ,Be Cat got your tongue, Enough to make cat Laugh, who will bell cat, FAT CAT, TOMCAT,CATWALK
COOLCAT, HEPCAT, and many more…
Still we never realize presence of cat around

One last thing …
Do you know , when cat is thrown in air, off course not too high, it balances itself in such a way that it lands on its’ feet without falling or loosing balance…
I believe, this is the biggest lesson we can learn from cats , never say die attitude.

As one cat lover says, World is ruled by cats..
