Gayatri Jayanti 2026

Which languages do you speak and how did that impact your life?

आदि शक्ति तुम अलख निरंजन जग पालन कर्त्री,
ब्रह्म रूपिणी, प्रणत पालिनी जगत धात्री अम्बे।
भव भय हारी, जन हित कारी, सुखदा जगदम्बे॥
स्वाहा स्वधा शची ब्रह्माणी राधा रुद्राणी,
जय शतरूपा, वाणी विद्या कमला कल्याणी।
जननी हम हैं दीन हीन दुख दारिद्र के घेरे,
यद्यपि कुटिल कपूत तउ बालक बालक माँ तेरे॥
स्नेहसनी करुणामयी माता चरण शरण दीजै,
बिलख रहे हम शिशु सुत तेरे दया दृष्टि कीजै।
काम क्रोध मद लोभ दम्भ दुर्भाव द्वेष हरिये,
शुद्ध बुद्धि निष्पाप हृदय मन को पवित्र करिये॥
तुम समर्थ सब भाँति तारिणी तुष्टि-पुष्टि दाता,
सत्य मार्ग पर हमें चलाओ जो है सुख दाता।
जयति जय गायत्री माता, जयति जय गायत्री माता॥

Puneet Saxena

What is one word that describes you?

  1. When I was a friend of Brijgopal and Rakesh, I used to see Puneet as a carefree young boy in our class.
  2. Rakesh left the group and Puneet joined it.
  3. We used to roam around carefree. Unit tests in Maria Mata Convent School Chhatarpur were both a blessing and a curse. I had scored three marks out of twenty five, he had scored zero. Miss Anuja Rathore punished us both with a bamboo stick on palms of our hands.
  4. Puneet moved on when I joined Kuldeep Shukla to help improve my scores on unit tests.
  5. Puneet was well built, athletic and later developed fondness for memorizing entire songs like “Aati kyaa khandaala.” Had amazing memory which he seldom employed to memorize lessons.
  6. We used to play a rugby like tournament during breaks. Teams were fond of having Puneet on their sides because such players ensured victory. The game was a superhit.
  7. I was trying to develop a martial arts school which was obviously super flop because we had to wash our school dress, not just Rugby but also fights between giants like Avadhesh and Puneet used to render our shirts torn. We were not well respected at our homes.
  8. He never liked his nick name given to him by our maths teacher “Punnee-laal Parathe Waale” as he frequently used to bring paraathe in his tiffin.
  9. There was an author named Padumlaal Punnalaal Bakshi in our syllabus, therefore some of our classmates used to annoy him with such names.
  10. When we met decades afterwards during COVID years: he again insisted on how annoyed he was with such nicknames. His actual nickname was Robbie.
  11. He used to fervently tell about how he used to burn RGPV copies when review requests used to come. He wasn’t fond of making money. He said he loved his friends but he wasn’t fond of listening to advise. He had a big ego and he was an achiever too.
  12. I still remember how he came to my house once after school bells with other friends to collect a notebook. Notebook belonged to a girl. The notebooks were cross distributed by our maths teacher who wanted to promote Mohabattein in a monastery.
  13. Puneet, along with Avadhesh and Abhishek ( Rajpoot) ensured that I wasn’t focussing on studies. They used to create nuisances all the times.
  14. When Puneet met me during COVID we discussed eschatology. His house was one of the first few houses in that colony when we used to play during childhood. He showcased some strange device in 2021-22 to me, some hidden project he was working on. Needless to say the project was way ahead of my understanding of technology at that time.
  15. Yesterday I heard that Puneet is no more.

What is the only thing? the last few days…
They can’t tell me anything new
A girl I once knew
I have been to Switzerland…
I’ve been to the south of France…
I’ve been to the north of France…
My interest in our lives count…
So beautiful, make me cry
We’ve got to get together…

Occlusion ionic actors snoring Rinku girls raven Venus Sunny nja barsa
Oh, I don’t wanna hear my fortune told
I don’t wanna see my future told
Old is Gold I have heard standard very vary array
Behold, it’s the time of the year when I’m there
The time of the year when my love is the best
Rest of Alchemy myalgia iambic pentameter does Omniverse listen question mark
Oh, I’m the one
I’m the one
The one and only only very lonely Karma ji only Karma jio only lyrical calculus 10 Omniverse busted Street treat great free train rains invent ventricle dorsal salubrious salute
Do not be afraid
Singing
In Singapore puris chorus chorus chorus rustic tic-tac-toe nailed Delaware beware of monkeys
Now that I’ve found you
I can see through all these games
Images just rate 8 at the Buffet fetters drop rupes Opera Raspberry Rai
Singing’ don’t worry (don’t worry) ’bout a thing
‘Cause every little thing gonna be alright

Musical calculus

My class teacher used to plan our rendezvous or something similar when we were in the middle school and he was only a passionate passport from the science department.

Once we had a class on Friday. I had to sing a song. I chose a Muhammad Rafi Asha Mangeshkar duet ( O Haseena…) over the Kishore Kumar melody: ye Dil Na hota bechara… I understand why I did that. They both had more profundity and variety than Kishore Kumar. He was all energy. Bubblegum Mugwumps handpumps madly deeply uncalibrated. My teacher didn’t like that. The students sitting next to me sang the one by Kumar and won the Claps. I regretfully left the class. I greatly appreciate my choice now: the lyrics were beautiful. The Antara after Antara with magic. And the depth. I listen to both of them and judge in my favor. I feel ” uski dhun me padega dukh jhelna…haha… seekha hamne bhi…” was highlight of the song.

It loses its grip after that point. I had a serendipity. I looked up the lyrics online and it has turned out that both of them were written by Sultan Puri

Why did they choose to sing songs by Sultan Puri remains a mystery. The one I prefer was composed by the son. The father Burman did the one sung by Kishore. It might be that the teacher had the same name as the singer. Maybe not. I find out: my musical sense and penchant hasn’t changed much all these years.

Bangles

Drift together noon / Shadows stretch across the sheets / Lonely Sunday light
I’m here and you’re there / A voice in the dark / But now it’s Sunday morning
The dark prince principal… Atheling Mingas gastric tricks Asterix
I wish you were here / I wish you were here
Then I would have, us, the rest of the day
Big bang bangs her door… he got bangles galore. Bangalore Bangladesh syncromesha mesha.
If you wanna go out tonight, I’ll find you some bangles…
Then I’d have you, the rest of the angles will jangle in the jungle

What is the meaning of word?

The sound of a handmaiden
Hanging a hundred feet above you
I see you in advance for your time
Just say the word, say the word
What is the meaning…
