Gurdwara Bangla Sahib amidst severe SMOG a few days ago











#JetScreen – where entertainment never ends !

Viewing movies, listening music as well as playing games on a Wi-fi network on the Flight mode on my smart phone was a great experience for me. I had to go to Bangalore for a day and a friend told me about the #JetScreen on the Jet Airways flight.



As instructed, I downloaded the Airtime player on my mobile and boarded the flight in the early morning. It was a journey of around two and a half hours and I was really worried that in case #JetScreen was not up to my expectations, I will get bored.



Once in the air, I took my mobile and opened the Airtime player. Clicking on the Access button took me immediately to a Menu that gave me four options. The options were Movies, Music, TV shorts and the Games.



I clicked movies and a submenu opened with various options. I selected a movie and started watching. The video was quite clear. The sound was good. In fact, I had to slow down the volume of my mobile as my Co passenger was in a mood to sleep.



I also tried my hands on the Games section that also offered various options. I was playing various games, one after another, as a small child. Time was also flying, along with me in the plane, and it was not at all boring in any manner. In fact, it was a real entertainment while on-board.



I checked into the music section of the #jetScreen and there too, so many options were available. I listened to different types of songs and music for some time and enjoyed. Lastly, I viewed a few trailers in the TV short section. They looked really good and fun filled.



I was still busy on the #JetScreen when our pilot made the announcement to tighten the belts as we had to land in BangaloreIn the evening I boarded another flight for Delhi with an expectation that this will again offer me the Entertainment. But this time #JetScreen facility was not there. I checked my mobile so many times for the Wi-fi connectivity, but it was not available.



It was a sad feeling as while going to Bangalore, I had really enjoyed the movies and various games. But while moving back it was not available & was quite boring. It became quite difficult for me to pass those two and a half hours of the journey.



Anyhow, I have decided, that now onwards I will catch a flight with #JetScreen only and not otherwise as it is quite entertaining. If you don’t want to get bored while on-board, you too must try a Jet Airways flight with the #JetScreen. Believe me, it will be a great fun and entertainment for you and also for your entire family if moving together.



Please watch the Video ( by Mr B S Vohra ) embedded above for a glimpse of the entertainment that you can get while on-board on a Jet Airways flight. Just remember that entertainment does not stop when you are enjoying #JetScreen on your own device i.e. your smart phone. Please log on to the LINK for more details.

Bollywood Actress Soha Ali Khan at Gurdwara Bangla Sahib in Delhi




देश की पूर्व प्रधानमंत्री इंदिरा गांधी की हत्या एवं उसके बाद हुए सिखों के कत्लेआम के कारणों एवं परिणामों से रूबरू करवाती फिल्म ‘‘31 अक्टूबर’’ के अदाकारों द्वारा गुरुद्वारा बंगला साहिब में माथा टेका गया। दिल्ली सिख गुरुद्वारा प्रबंधक कमेटी के अध्यक्ष मनजीत सिंह जी.के. एवं महासचिव मनजिन्दर सिंह सिरसा ने फिल्म में कत्लेआम की पीड़ित सिख महिला का किरदार निभाने वाली बालीवुड की अदाकारा सोहा अली खान को सिरोपा देकर सम्मानित किया। 

माथा टेकने के बाद फिल्म की टीम एवं दिल्ली कमेटी के नेताओं ने गुरुद्वारा बंगला साहिब से ‘‘मोमबती मार्च’’ जन्तर-मन्तर तक ‘‘इन्साफ की आवाज’’ बुलन्द करने के लिये निकाला। जी.के. ने कहा कि इंदिरा गांधी के कत्ल के बाद सिखों का हुआ कत्लेआम दुनिया के सबसे बड़े लोकतंत्र पर बदनुमा दाग है। फिल्म के निर्माता हैरी सचदेवा द्वारा इस संवेदनशील मसले पर फिल्म बनाने के लिये गये फैसले की भी उन्होंने प्रशंसा की।
सिरसा ने कहा कि 1984 का सरकारी कत्लेआम सिख इतिहास का बड़ा दुखांत है इसलिए उक्त मसले पर सिखों के साथ हमदर्दी जताने वाले सही मायनों में सिखों के शुभचिन्तक हैं। यहां बता दें कि सोहा अली खान ने एक सिख परिवार की सच्ची कहानी पर आधारित उक्त फिल्म में कत्लेआम पीड़ितों के दुख को बाखूबी ब्यान करने की कोशिश की है। भारतीय जनता पार्टी के सांसद तथा भोजपुरी फिल्म के सुपरस्टार मनोज तिवारी ने भी इस अवसर पर गुरुद्वारा बंगला साहिब के दफ्तर पहुंच कर सोहा अली खान के साथ मुलाकात कर इस विषय पर कार्य करने के लिए सराहना की। 
हैरी सचदेवा ने कुछ राजनीतिक दलों द्वारा फिल्म के प्रदर्शन को रोकने के लिए की जा रही कानूनी कार्यवाही को गैरजरूरी बताते हुए फिल्म की कहानी पूरी तरह से मानवता की दर्द पर आधारित होने का दावा किया। इस अवसर पर दिल्ली कमेटी के उपाध्यक्ष सतपाल सिंह, धर्मप्रचार कमेटी चेयरमैन परमजीत सिंह राणा, कमेटी सदस्य तनवंत सिंह, परमजीत सिंह चंढ़ोक, जस्टिस फॉर विक्टिमस की प्रमुख निरप्रीत कौर, अकाली नेता खुशविन्दर सिंह मोनूवालिया, अवनीत सिंह रायसन तथा देवनगर खालसा कॉलेज छात्रसंध अध्यक्ष अभिषेक शर्मा भी मौजूद थे।

The essence of true friendship

I am a Social activist with the sole aim of serving the society. Truly, it’s difficult to get real friends who are eager to join you in such kind of endeavours as there are no lavish parties, no drinks, no dance and nothing of that sort. Instead, you have to spend time while serving others in one or other way.

Luckily, I got certain good and true friends, who are always there to stand with me. One such person is Vinod who regularly organises the Blood donation camps and you can find a large number of persons donating blood in those camps. He himself has donated blood for over 50 times till date.



Once I got an urgent message from some unknown person that he was in dire need of the few units of Blood that was rarely available. We got the samples and tried our level best in arranging the blood for his father who was suffering from Prostate cancer at a Govt hospital. We can never forget the tears that we saw in the eyes while we handed him the blood units.



One of my other very close friends is Sandeep. He is a joyful person and always aggressive in doing something for the society. We all work together as a team. You can call him any time, i.e. day or night and he rarely says no. He reaches the spot exactly on time without a single shrink in his face. We are always together on any issue that may be Power, Sanitation, Water logging, Drinking water, Environment, Pollution or even Dengue & Chikungunya.



I still remember a person who was not being admitted in a Govt hospital on one pretext or other. He called me and we reached the spot within minutes. We tried our best to help him, but the hospital administration looked in no mood. So we had to force the CMO of the hospital through our contacts and the patient was admitted. We get the real fun and enjoyment, when we are there to serve the persons in dire need.



In my opinion, the essence of true friendship is not in sipping whisky by sitting together in the evening, but by working openly for the society, being together. It’s really difficult to get such kind of true friends, but I am pleased to say that we have such good and true friends who are very close to each other.



This closeness is similar to the closeness of Amitabh and Shatrughan Sinha who will now be visible on a new TV show @ZeeTv along with many other in the Fun filled evenings from 8th of October. It’s truly the double pleasure in viewing such programmes when you are free at home after serving the society. Must view the grand fun filled show Yaroon Ki Baraat on Zee TV as it will strengthen the bonds of true friendship amongst all of us.

दिल्ली सचिवालय से धक्के मारकर बाहर निकाले गये विकलांग को दिल्ली कमेटी ने व्हील-चेयर दी

कमेटी ने ‘‘सरबत का भला’’ के सिद्धांत पर पहरा देने की हमेशा कोशिश की : जी.के.

दिल्ली सचिवालय में नई व्हील-चेयर देने की मांग करने के लिए बीते दिनों पहुंचे विकलांग राजा भईया अहीरवाल को सचिवालय से धक्केमार के बाहर निकाल दिया गया था। विकलांग के साथ हुई बदसुलूकी की वीडियों किसी व्यक्ति ने बनाकर सोशल मीडिया पर वॉयरल कर दी थी। जिसके बाद दिल्ली सिख गुरुद्वारा प्रबंधक कमेटी के अध्यक्ष मनजीत सिंह जी.के. द्वारा विकलांग को व्हील-चेयर देने की पेशकश मीडिया के माध्यम से की गई थी। विकलांग द्वारा कमेटी को व्हील-चेयर देने का आवेदन प्राप्त होने के बाद अब कमेटी के वरिष्ठ उपाध्यक्ष महिन्दर सिंह चड्डा ने व्हील-चेयर सौंपने की रस्म निभाई। 

जी.के. ने कहा कि दिल्ली कमेटी ने हमेशा ही गुरू की गोलक के सहारे जरूरतमंदों की मदद के दौरान किसी जाति, धर्म या समुदाय में भेदभाव ना करते हुए सहायता देते समय गुरू साहिब द्वारा बख्शे गये ‘‘सरबत के भले’’ के सिद्धांत पर पहरा देने की कोशिश की है। गुरुद्वारा कमेटीयों का बजट बेशक सरकारों से कई गुना कम होगा पर सिखों का दिल हमेशा ही सब से बड़ा रहा है। 

इस अवसर पर कमेटी के मुख्य सलाहकार कुलमोहन सिंह, कमेटी के सदस्य परमजीत सिंह चंडोक, कानूनी विभाग प्रमुख जसविन्दर सिंह जौली एवं अकाली नेता विक्रम सिंह मौजूद थे।
