A nice poem on Holi: festival of colors

-
घुल रही फिजा में
रंगो की महक
पागल मन क्यूँ
बार बार जाता है बहक
तोड़कर हर बंधन को
दूर कहीं छोड़कर व्यथित वेदना को
भूलकर हर इक पीड़ा
मन रंग की आगोश में गिरा
रंग है प्यार का , सौहार्द का
आनंद का, उल्लास का
अनेकता में भी एकता
संपूर्ण भारत के इस विश्वास का
इस रंग में न जाने क्या जादू है
कि मन मेरा बेकाबू है
कितने ही टूटे रिश्तों की डोर बाँधती
रंग में इतनी है असीम शक्ति
मन मेरे डूबकर
आज इस रंग में
कर ले यह निश्चय
कि हम अपनी रंगभूमि को
प्यार और भाईचारे से
और रंगीन बनाएँगे
और हर होली में हर बार
हम यही संकल्प दुहराएँगे

National Workshop on FOSS Desktop Accessibility on August 26, 2011 at CDAC, Kharghar, Navi Mumbai

-
In today’s world, the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) is growing day by day. We use these technologies very extensively in fulfilling our routine tasks like bill payments, banking transactions, reservations and many more to the extent that ICT is not a luxury, but necessity today. A large section of the society comprising people with disabilities finds it difficult to use ICT in the same way as normal people do. This includes the visually impaired (fully or partially blind), hearing impaired, people with cognitive disabilities (memory loss, etc.) and cerebral problems etc.. Such people have to be provided with different kinds of assistive technologies either software-based or hardware-based to make ICT accessible to them. A large number of software-based assistive technologies are normally in the form of applications running on desktops which make common desktop applications (office applications, browser etc.) accessible for the disabled person.

Meaning of 15th August in today's scenario

-
15th August comes every year. From last 63 years, we celebrate it as our Independence day in the form of various functions held at various levels. But, question should be asked whether this day still hold some significance in our hearts today. Do we still give the same respect to this day as was initially? Do we really understand what 15th August means to us? For me, it was just another day. More, it was a Sunday, a day to have lots of fursat and wake up late. So, I woke up late and started following my usual routine, then realized it is 15th August. It was already 11'O clock. Outside the flat, atmosphere was not much different. Prime minister's address to the nation had been over some 3 hours back. So, whatever he has said, was followed through the scrolls of news channels. There was a time, when prabhat pheris were passed through the streets shouting slogans of "Bharat Mata ki Jai" etc. There was so much enthusiasm in those childhood days to go to school, to deliver...
