बहकिने मनको लगि पत्र
कर्यक्रम संचालक दाजु महाबिर बिश्वकर्मा दाजु तथा प्राबिधिक र वरिपरि नजिकै रहनुहुने सम्पूर्ण बहकिने मन परिवार मा मेरो तर्फा बाट नमस्कार ।
मा यस कार्यक्रम को नियमित श्रोत हु भनेर त भन्दिन तर पनि भरसक समयले साथ दिया सम्म कार्यक्रम सुन्न छुटाउदिना । गाऊँ मा हुँदा कार्यक्रम को शुरुवाती २-३ भाग सुनेको थिएं , त्यसपछि कहिले काठमाडौँ त कहिले गाउँ भइरहनाले केहि शृंखला हरु छुटे पनि सुन्नलाई । तर केहि छुटेका शृंखला हरु download गरेर पनु सुनेथें । हाल काठमाडौँ मा पनि प्रशारण हुन थाले पछि भने छुटाएको छैन ।
साँच्चै बहकिने मन श्रोत को मन मा छुट्टै स्थान लियर बस्न सफल कार्यक्रम हो । किनकि यस को प्रत्योक शृंखलामा कुनै न कुनै किसिम बाट श्रोत को मन को कुरा मा बहकाइएको हुन्छ ।अझ यस ले अंगालेको साहित्यमा मुक्तक विधा पनि अर्को आकर्षक र महत्वपुर्ण खण्ड हो ।
मलाई पनि मुक्तक कोर्न आउँदैनथ्यो , यसै कार्यक्रम को नियमित श्रवण तथा अभ्यासले अहिले भने केहि हद सम्म जानेको छु । थोरै भए पनी वाक्य हरु मिलाउन सकेको छु । यसका साथै बहकिने मन ले मलाई कुनै पनि कुरा सोच्दा अलिक गहिरिएर सोच्न सिकाएको छ ।
अरु श्रोत लाई झैं मलाई पनि लागेको खुलदुली के भने , प्रत्योक फोन मा आउनुहुने हरुले भन्नु भएको मुक्तक को जवाफ तपाईं तत्कालै मुक्तक मा नै फर्काउनु हुन्छा ।
अँ साँच्ची , आज सम्म का कार्यक्रम हरु मध्ये म निकै आभारी भयको कार्यक्रम :- अप्रिल 14(valentine day) विशेष कार्यक्रम र गत हप्ता प्रशारण भएको कार्यक्रम हो । यि दुबै कार्यक्रम मा मैले कसैलाई भन्ने वा भनौ भन्नै पर्ने सम्पूर्ण कुराहरु समेटिएका थिए ।
अब त खासै भन्नु केहि छैन , फेसबुक बाट मुक्तक लिनुहुने साताको मुक्तक सेग्मेन्ट मा केहि सुधार भए अलि राम्रो हुन्थ्यो । एउटा मात्र मुक्तक वचन भन्दा पनि top 5 भनेर

Water in Singapore: the city-state that looks ahead
Cecilia
Tortajada, President, Third World Centre for Water Management, Mexico,
with Mr. Lee Kuan Yew, former Prime Minister of Singapore
Discussions on whether public water supplies should be privatised
or not have reached epic proportions. Yet it is important to see this in
context: less than 3% of the water supply to people in developing
economies runs through “privatised” pipes (actually schemes run in
highly regulated public-private partnerships); 97% of supply still runs
through pipes fully owned by municipalities and other public structures.For me, however, the real issue is not who owns the pipes; it is whether the schemes providing water to urban and rural populations do it efficiently and sustainably, i.e., the quality of the management of these schemes. Singapore provides an excellent example of such efficiency and sustainability in one of the best managed public, i.e, state-owned supply schemes worldwide. Dr Cecilia Tortajada, President of the Third World Centre for Water Management in Mexico just published a book on the Singapore water supply story – a book I can strongly recommend. For those who prefer a shorter version of the main points, Cecilia kindly agreed to write for my blog the guest post below.
As usual, I invite my readers to share their own insights and comments in response to Cecila’s excellent piece.
Development goals, water resources management and the role of the private sector
Together
with Jin-Yong Cai of IFC listening to M. Mohieldin, Special Envoy of
Worldbank President, T. Stelzer, UN Assistant Secretary-General and M.
Anderson, Director DFID and Special Envoy to PM Cameron
Many of you have asked me questions in recent days about my views on
the human right to water. I want to thank you for taking part in this
discussion and encourage you to keep engaging on the important issue of
water scarcity.In my role as Chairman of the Water Resources Group, I have just visited the World Bank headquarters in Washington DC in the United States for 2030 Water Resources Group meetings and a high-level discussion on a water goal within the post-2015 UN Development Strategy, combining the Millennium Development Goals with the Sustainable Development Goals.
Water is one of the biggest challenges for sustainable development over the coming decades. Its effects can be felt right across all three pillars of sustainability – environmental, social and economic. There is one important dimension of the social pillar of sustainability that must be kept in mind: water for survival is a human right.
Water you need for survival is a human right – some clarity
From time to time on the internet a video clip from a TV
programme made in 2005 about food is posted in which I am talking about
whether water is a human right. It seems it has surfaced again, and
people are using it to misrepresent my views on this important issue.
Let me be very clear about this again here on the blog, because I think the video clip, which took my views out of context, isn’t clear about the point I was trying to make. The water you need for survival is a human right, and must be made available to everyone, wherever they are, even if they cannot afford to pay for it.

The 2030 Water Resources Group – some clarity
Over the past few months, the 2030 Water Resources Group (WRG)
has been frequently mentioned in the media, usually by third parties
with little knowledge of its goals and activities. In Switzerland, some
journalists have picked up on some critics’ interpretation that the WRG
is essentially a way for private companies to gain a foothold in the
area of municipal water distribution. On German TV, a journalist
developed, at great length, a complaint lodged by a wealthy South
African that the WRG is not getting involved in improving municipal
water supply.
I believe that we need to sharpen the profile of the 2030 Water Resources Group, better communicate its great potential and correct some of the misperceptions and politically biased conclusions reached by some media personalities.

The importance of partnerships on World Water Day
Water Resources Group at WEF Davos: Mr Brabeck-Letmathe with UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon The global water challenge has moved up the priority list of international leaders and government bodies over the past few years, as I have highlighted elsewhere. World Water Day is a reminder that water cooperation, particularly addressing the rapidly increasing water shortage as a challenge to societies, is more important than ever.
Many of you may know that in 2010, the United Nations General Assembly declared that 2013 was to become the UN International Year of Water Cooperation. The UN’s aim was to raise awareness of the importance of partnerships and of water management challenges, considering the increasing demand for water access, allocation and services.

about love

Article: "I love you"
"I love you"
Sikander Ziad Hashmi, sunniforum.com
“I love you.”
It’s a sentence most of us have probably used at one time or another, though we probably don’t want elaborate on the context we’ve used it in.
But hey, what’s wrong with love?
Love is one of the central human emotions. We all experience love for someone or something, to varying degrees, at one time or another. Most of the time, when we think of love, it brings a warm, fuzzy, and sometimes naughty feeling – the type that makes us feel that nothing in the world matters, with the exception of our beloved.
We are often hushed up and reluctant to discuss love with anyone, except for maybe our close friends. But if we think about it, love isn’t something bad. In fact, it too is a blessing of Allah. Think: if there was no love in the world, every single person would fight everyone else. There would be no peace and happiness. The world would be a terrible place without love.
One of the strongest (if not the strongest) bonds of love are between family members. Thus, Allah has made all believers brothers (and sisters). That’s why we should try to love all Muslims as our brothers and sisters.
Allah (SW) has said:
"The believers are nothing else than brothers (in Islâmic religion)." (Quran, 49:10)
Love is natural. It enters the heart and leaves at will, and we don’t have much control over it. While we don’t have control over love, we do possess control over the actions it can lead us to.
In essence, love is good, but it is the actions that result from it that are of concern.
As with anything, there is a certain limit and transgressing the limit turns the good into bad. For instance, praying Salah is a good thing. No Muslim disputes this fact. However, if one prays Nafl (non-obligatory) Salah all night and misses Fajr (a Fardh or obligatory Salah) in the morning, then his praying Nafl all night becomes something bad. Likewise, if a man spends all day praying and doesn’t provide ample food, clothing, and shelter for his wife and children, then his praying all day becomes bad.
Similarly, if love for something or someone begins blocking us from the worship of Allah and from following his orders, the love also becomes a bad thing. If a person, for the love of his children, works all day long (so he can feed and clothe them well) and doesn’t pray and remember Allah, then his love for his children has evidently become bad for him. Allah Almighty says:
"O you who believe! Let not your properties or your children divert you from the remembrance of Allâh. And whosoever does that, then they are the losers." (Quran, 63:9)
In the same way, if the love leads us to forbidden acts that displease Allah, then again it becomes something bad.
Many times, the love for our beloved can lead us on to a very treacherous path. It can happen very slowly – so slowly that one often fails to realize what is about to transpire, and “things” just “seem to happen”.
In the Holy Quran, Allah has said:
"And come not near Zina (unlawful intercourse). Verily, it is a Fâhishah [i.e. anything that transgresses its limits (a great sin)], and an evil way (that leads one to Hell unless Allâh forgives him)." (Quran, 17:32)
Note here that Allah has said “and come not near” instead of saying “don’t do”. What does this tell us? The following hadith of the Prophet (SAW) explains the verse:
“The zina of the eyes is the gaze (at that which is unlawful); the zina of the ears is to listen (to talks that excite the carnal desire); the zina of the tongue is to speak (what is evil); the zina of the hand is to touch (the opposite sex which is unlawful to you); the zina of the feet is to walk (towards immorality); the zina of the heart is to desire (what is unlawful), and it is the private parts which either commits or shuns the actual act of fornication.” (Reported by Muslim)
If the love for a person leads us to any of the above, it is obviously crossing the limit. Be it through meeting, talking, or simply chatting, we must be careful that our love for our beloved doesn’t take us overboard. Love is natural, yet what it can lead to is what’s dangerous.
We all fall in love one time or the other. The key is to control the love and put the brakes on any potentially unlawful actions it may lead us to, no matter how minor they may seem.
Verily, short-lived is the love that leads to the displeasure of Allah (SW).
May Allah (SW) protect me and all of us from the love that leads to His displeasure. Ameen.
