We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world. --Buddha
I googled Harivansh Rai Bachchan... and I found link to Madhushala by Dr. Harbansh Rai Bachhan [via wikipedia] and to top it all
To the surprise of many, he never drank as much as a single drop of liquor. He, however, belongs to the clan of kayashtha which is famous for their eating and drinking merrily.

Lehron Se Darkar Nauka Paar Nahin Hoti,
Himmat Karne Waalon Ki Kabhi Haar Nahin Hoti.
Nanhi Chinti Jab Daana Lekar Chalti Hai,
Chadti Deewaron Par Sau Baar Fisalti Hai,
Mann Ka Vishwaas Ragon Mein Saahas Bhartaa Hai,
Chadkar Girna, Girkar Chadna Na Akharta Hai,
Mehnat Uski Bekar Har Baar Nahin Hoti,
Koshish Karne Waalon Ki Kabhi Haar Nahin Hoti.
Dubkiyan Sindhu Mein Gotaakhor Lagata Hai,
Jaa Jaakar Khaali Haath Lautkar Aata Hai,
Milte Na Sahaj Hi Moti Gehre Paani Mein,
Badta Doona Vishwaas Isi Hairaani Mein,
Muththi Uski Khaali Harbaar Nahin Hoti,
Koshish Karne Waalon Ki Kabhi Haar Nahin Hoti.
Asafaltaa ek Chunauti hai Sweekaar Karo,
Kya Kami Reh Gayi Dekho Aur Sudhar Karo,
Jab Tak Na Safal Ho Neend Chain Ki Tyago Tum,
Sangharshon Ka Maidaan Chod Mat Bhaago Tum,
Kuch Kiye Binaa Hi Jai Jaikaar Nahin Hoti,
Koshish Karne Waalon Ki Kabhi Haar Nahin Hoti.
Have heard that silence is golden... just trying it out.

India has lost over 10M girls in 20 years
Analyzing information about 133,738 births, the researchers found that the deficit in the number of girls born as second children was more than twice as great among educated mothers than among illiterate ones, the report said.
Friendship does not come with the number of movies watched together or the number of places visited together. Neither does it come by hours spend on phone or what and how we share things.
Friendship is just a surity that the person wishes well for you, just a feeling of being comfortable and not having the need to put on a happy, sad or any other look to be accepted.
True friendship multiplies the good in life and divides its evils. Strive to have friends, for life without friends is like life on a desert island..to find one real friend in a lifetime is good fortune; to keep him is a blessing.

Right Stuff and Wrong in the Boys Who Dare from NYTimes
FARRIS HASSAN, the 16-year-old Floridian who ran off to Iraq over the holidays, arrived home last week safe and sound. But that was only after he'd cut prep school and flown to Kuwait, taken a cab to the Iraqi border and been turned away, then flown to Beirut and on to Baghdad with little more than some cash, an Arabic phrase book and a half-baked plan to see for himself what was going on over there.
Mr. Hassan's war-zone jaunt was unusual but hardly the first or even the most outlandish of risky adolescent stunts. Remember Mathias Rust, the 19-year-old West German who in 1987 flew a tiny Cessna from Finland to Russia and landed in Red Square, hoping to bring Mikhail S. Gorbachev to terms of peace with the West? Or Keron Thomas, the 16-year-old Brooklyn subway enthusiast who in 1993 borrowed an A train for three hours and carried its 2,000 passengers safely and skillfully to their destinations?
