Significance Raksha Bandhan
Significance
Raksha Bandhan in Sanskrit literally means "the tie or knot of protection". It is an ancient Hindu festival that ritually celebrates the love and duty between brothers and their sisters. The sister performs a Rakhi ceremony, then prays to express her love and her wish for the well being of her brother; in return, the brother ritually pledges to protect and take care of his sister under all circumstances. It is one of the several occasions in which family ties are affirmed in India.
The festival is also an occasion to celebrate brother-sister like family ties between cousins or distant family members, sometimes between biologically unrelated men and women. To many, the festival transcends biological family, brings together men and women across religions, diverse ethnic groups and ritually emphasizes harmony and love. It is observed in the Hindu calendar month of Śrāvaṇa, and typically falls in August every year.

Happy Raksha Bandhan 2015.
The love in my body and heart
For the earth's shadow and light
Has stayed over years.
With its cares and its hope it has thrown
A language of its own
Into blue skies.
It lives in my joys and glooms
In the spring night's buds and blooms
Like a Rakhi-band
On the Future's hand.
The love in my body and heart
For the earth's shadow and light
Has stayed over years.
With its cares and its hope it has thrown
A language of its own
Into blue skies.
It lives in my joys and glooms
In the spring night's buds and blooms
Like a Rakhi-band
On the Future's hand.

Poem in Hindi - Geet Gata Hoon Nahi Hindi Language
Today, there is an easy poem that you can try to comprehend it. The poet, Atal Bihari Vajpayee, the former Prime Minister of India, is describing his experiences of difficult times of his government.
Below is the poem in Devanagari fonts (Hindi) with the literal translation in English. I hope that you will try to comprehend the poem with the given explanation. So, here it is.
कविता (Kavita – Poem) : गीत नहीं गाता हूँ| (Geet Nahi Gata Hoon – Don’t Sing A Song.)
कवि (Kavi – Poet) : अटल बिहारी वाजपेयी (Atal Bihari Vajpayee)
बेनकाब चेहरे हैं,
दाग बड़े गहरे हैं,
टूटता तिलस्म, आज सच से भय खाता हूँ ।
गीत नही गाता हूँ ।
Faces are unmasked,
the stains are very deep,
the magic is breaking, today I fear from the truth.
(I) don’t sing a song.
लगी कुछ ऐसी नज़र,
बिखरा शीशे सा शहर,
अपनों के मेले में मीत नहीं पाता हूँ।
गीत नहीं गाता हूँ।
the evil has been cast,
and this glass like city has scattered,
not able to mingle in the union of dear ones.
(I) don’t sing a song.
पीठ मे छुरी सा चाँद,
राहु गया रेखा फाँद,
मुक्ति के क्षणों में बार-बार बँध जाता हूँ।
गीत नहीं गाता हूँ।
moon is stabbed like a knife in the back,
gone to the direction by crossing the line,
get bound every time in the moments of nirvana.
(I) don’t sing a song.

'Have lost an uttam marg darshak': Who said what on APJ Abdul Kalam's demise
Former president, renowned scientist and Bharat Ratna, APJ Abdul Kalam passed away after suffering a cardiac arrest while delivering a lecture to students at IIM-Shillong on Monday evening. He was 84.
Kalam collapsed during his lecture and was rushed to Bethany Hospital in Shillong where he was declared dead. The man, was referred to as the 'Missile Man of India' and 'People's President' owing to his scientific achievements and popular stature.

The entire nation, saddened by his death, went into mourning and eminent people, from politicians to actors, expressed their grief.
Here's what India had to say when Kalam passed away:
President Pranab Mukherjee: "He had a special love for children and fought to constantly inspire the youth of our country Dr Kalam will be long remembered for his passion, science and innovation and his contributions have enabled scientists, educationists and writers. His achievements as leader of DRDO vastly enhanced the security of our nation. In his passing away, we have lost a great son of India who dedicated his entire life to the welfare of his motherland. Dr Kalam was a people's president during his lifetime and will remain so."
Prime Minister Narendra Modi: "I got to work with him closely. I have lost an uttam marg darshak. The country has lost a son who worked for the strength of India. He had spent every moment for the youth of India. No person will be able to fill the gap left by him. His work will inspire us to work for the development of the nation."
Singer Lata Mangeshkar: "Dr Kalam, when you became the President, you gave the word 'hope' a new meaning for Indians...".
Singer and composer AR Rahman: Today, we have lost a great leader who inspired our young minds to feel that we live in the greatest nation on earth and that each one of them can achieve great things... May the creator lead you to heaven
RJD chief Lalu Prasad: "He was not just an astute statesman, Kalam was also a scholar and a renowned scientist. Despite being the President, he always used to relate and react with the common people and under his supervision, India's defence system got a huge boost."
BJP patriarch LK Advani: "Shocking! And he has come so suddenly. A few days back, I attended his book release function. If I were to sum up what I feel his personality indicated, I would say that he was a unique combination of science and spirituality."
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar: "This is a personal loss for me. Dr Kalam was a great scientist and eminent social worker. On my request, he had come to Bihar on a number of occasions and guided the development of the state. He had also immensely contributed towards setting up of the Nalanda International University."
Delhi Lt Governor Najeeb Jung: "He left inspirational thoughts with us. India has lost a son. When will we get a son of this caliber?"
Former president Pratibha Patil: "He was the best human being I came across. I feel very sorry. He had good humour, had very good presence of mind and always wanted to give something to society"
Former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Farooq Abdullah: "I think it's the saddest news I've heard in a long time. He was the people's president. I remember when I went with Vajpayee ji to Pokhran, that was my first meeting with him."
BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra: "Deeply saddened to learn about the demise of Sh (sic) Abdul Kalam ..words cannot express the loss."
Gujarat Chief Minister Anandiben Patel : "Deeply shocked & saddened by the demise of former President of India and one of the finest human-beings Shri APJ Abdul Kalam. An eminent scientist, a visionary & an inspiration - Shri APJ Abdul Kalam will be missed by one and all. May his soul rest in peace!"
Home Minister Rajnath Singh: "Deeply saddened at the sudden demise of the former president of India Dr. APAJ Abdul Kalam. He was an inspiration to an entire generation. Dr. Kalam was a man of impeccable character, indomitable spirit, profound knowledge and firm conviction. The death of Dr. Kalam is an irreparable loss to this nation. He has left a big void hard to fill. I deeply mourn his death. RIP Kalam Sahab."

SAMOSAS (VEGAN)
SAMOSAS (VEGAN)
For the dough, you will need:
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons oil soup
3 tablespoons water soup
Salt to taste
(Makes 4 large samosas)
Simply mix all ingredients, knead well and let rest for about 10 minutes. The result should be a rigid and almost dry mass, it is a little hard to move. But kneading well, it will incorporate.
While the dough rests, prepare the filling. You will need:
Parsley potatoes
Peas (frozen or fresh have a much higher quality, do not recommend the can)
Yellow Curry (even in powder)
Cumin
Salt to taste
Just cook all ingredients until parsley potatoes look good molinha, crumbling. Season with cumin, curry and salt to taste. You can make regular potato also, incidentally, it is the original recipe. As potato is bad to freeze, I chose to do with parsley potatoes and leave some samosas ready for a more natural day.
Take a look at the filling consistency:
Divide the dough in four, roll up to form a ball and open it with a rolling pin. Add stuffing and close as follows:
Then you can just fry and eat. To follow, I made a tamarind chutney, which is also a very traditional recipe and perfectly complemented the samosas! Just put the recipe here for you :)
