Advani may take up “Yatra” from Sep.15

Advani may take up “Yatra” from Sep.15New Delhi, Sep 5 : Senior BJP leader Lal Krishna Advani is all set to take up nationwide ''Yatra'' to boost the morale of party cadres and conduct a talent-hunt among the GenX of the party.

Advani would launch his ''yatra'' around September 15 either from Jammu or Kerala, a report published in the Manoramaonline. com quoted a source close to Advani as saying.

Advani would also visit the three states of Maharashtra, Haryana and Arunachal Pradesh where the State Assembly polls are scheduled in the first week of October, as part of his yatra.

Since BJP’s defeat during Lok Sabha polls, Advani had announced that he would travel across the country to rebuild the party from the grass root level.

The Yatra (journey) was supposed to begin immediately after the Budget Session of the Parliament on August 7. But it was delayed because of the turmoil in the wake of Jaswant Singh’s controversial book on Pakistan founder M. A. Jinnah and his expulsion from the party.

RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat recently had reportedly told Advani during their meeting to oversee and ensure generation change in the party leadership.

Unlike his previous "Rath yatras", this tour will not see Advani hold public meetings. He will basically interact with BJP workers at all levels and get a first-hand account of what ails the party, stated the web portal.

The tour is also aimed at looking for "young talent that can be inducted into the party", the source said.

To the world, you may be just one person;
but to one person, you may be the world!

Measure wealth not by the things you have, but by the
things you have for which you would not take money.

If you bring macaroni and cheese to a covered dish supper,
don't expect to dine on lobster and filet mignon.

A coffee grinder on sale at a 90% discount is
not a great buy if you don't drink coffee.

Hope

For the first time in my life
I have hope.
Hope that the future is going
To be better than my past,
Better than my present.

What life had put me through
Had me convinced
That I deserved nothing good.
That anything good
That occasionally happened
Had happened by accident.
That the good things in my life would
Go away never to come back.

But now I have hope.
Lame though it sounds
I have faith in a person whom
I have not even met.
A person who will care for me.
Someone who would never
Let go of me despite my idiosyncrasies.
Somebody who will love me
For who I am.
Somebody who will create so
Much faith for himself in me
That I can laugh at my own insecurities.
Somebody who will find my imperfections so perfect
That I can actually let go of the feeling of being inferior.
That I can be myself with him
And never have to fear abandonment.

Somebody whom I'd give my life for
For loyalty is in my blood.
Somebody, whom I will
Love, cherish and protect
For as long as I live.
