Rung Youth Forum

anil — Tue, 03 May 2011 12:32:49 +0100

RYF aims to be a common platform where Rung Youths would associate with each other and contribute in the building of our Rung society through mutual interaction, cooperation and group action. We believe that the time to get ready for tomorrow is today. That's what our vision is all about. It is about creating a ‘Road map’ for our youth and assisting them in reaching similar destinations as planned by the RKS.

The Shepherd - Snippets from a Dream

Aditya — Tue, 19 Apr 2011 04:53:52 +0100

This poem is from my blog http://rambo-fromthetipofmytail.blogspot.com/, which chronicles a decade of Rambo, his exploits, reminiscences and what I imagine to be his confessions. Rambo is on his 13th yr, and having put the irreparable loss of a forelimb behind him, he is going from strength to strength. The exploits may be few and far between, but he still retains the zest of yore. The first decade was a relentless saga of trRead More...

Micro-finance

krautela — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 11:42:07 +0100

Ever since I heard about the story of how Dr. Yunus started micro finance in early days, I had wondered why we cant do the same to help people around us.

In order start such a thing formally we may have to go through quite a bit of red tape but that doesnt mean we cant start such a thing informally.

So here is an offer to any rung who needs small help in starting some venture.

Me and a few friends are ready to finance poor families for starting out economic acRead More...

Shyaa Sying ... .. .

s.datal — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 22:11:47 +0100

The tree looked familiar to me, though the leaves were a bit thinner and smaller in size, and branches were straighter than what I had usually seen. I gazed on it from my window for a while, made it sure and then murmured “Shyaa Sying ... no it’s not … haan haan … it is actually yaar”. I picked the keys, rushed out of apartment and got near to the tree, peeled the bark off… and as I felt the touch of that “Khula PaRead More...

A Sea Lover's Diary...

Aditya — Wed, 19 May 2010 19:22:00 +0100

The Sea

Though I am tempted to walk
I remain seated on the sands,
Like a specter in the evening,
Loneliness for a silhouette.
Have traded innocence with age
And I am not any wiser.

The horizon lies in the shadows
Somewhere, beyond the growing waves,
Beyond the flickering boat lights.
Waves wiRead More...

Vodka October: A City Diary

Breakfast

A symphony in progress amidst

Murmur from swarming tables...

The Charlatan

Quell the desire to express,
You charlatan of a poet,
For it was only the muse’s beauty
That gave your unintelligible words
Some semblance of a verse.
And you, the semblance of a poet.

Refuge

Amateurish perhaps but it’s my only refuge.
You see, I have noboRead More...

Uttaranchal Birds, Picturing a Verse..

Aditya — Thu, 13 May 2010 19:47:42 +0100

What I miss most about staying in Uttaranchal is the daily interaction with Nature. Had an opportunity to stay in Gopeshwar for a while, which was a memorable experience even though I was an infrequent visitor. On any given morning, a discerning eye could spot so many different species of birds in the garden and in the nearby trees. It was like being in a National Geographic feature. Of course the lush garden that Ba keenly nRead More...

AGM a few thoughts

krautela — Wed, 12 May 2010 08:21:01 +0100

It has been a while since AGM in Pangu. This was the first AGM held in any Rung village and it became evident in the way not only the even was organized but also in the attitude of participants.

Lasting memory for me have been two. One was the walk around the villages like Rhimjim, Rongto and Pangu School. This is probably first time when we had time to look around the village and school. There were some people from Pangu and nearby villages who have not visited Pangu school in a long Read More...

Who’s afraid of Virginia Woolf?

Aditya — Tue, 11 May 2010 20:24:52 +0100

I took to the world of letters pretty late, and one of the books which gently nudged me on this path was ‘Mrs Dalloway.’ It was a book I really enjoyed and I couldn’t help but marvel at the author’s ability to get under the skin of characters, and lucidly delineate their motivations and thoughts. Her approach referred to as ‘Stream of Consciousness’ gently draws you into the plot as ClarisRead More...

The Museum of Innocence....Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi

Aditya — Tue, 11 May 2010 20:11:11 +0100

‘Real museums are places where Time is transformed into Space.’

This was one of my most keenly awaited reads. While ‘The Black Book’ remains my favourite of the lot, ‘The Museum of Innocence’ is an engaging novel, not as effortless as some of his other books, but potent enough for a melancholy, characteristic of OrRead More...

Jyodmung ....

krautela — Fri, 02 Apr 2010 08:12:29 +0100

I have been really heartened by individual efforts of yogesh ( both), pankaj & puneet in recent times. They surely have kept up Jyodmung flag up.

But overall the collective energy of jyodmung is missinng.. thats what i feel and i maybe wrong .. and i hope i am wrong.

facebook, orkut etc. have made us social .. but also made us individualistic to a great extent. Hope to see something from jyodmung .. something that will make us feel jyod again :)

Many ways to blog on RungMung

krautela — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 08:42:58 +0100

Rung Mung has always been an effort to get community together. We want people from community to come forward and express their opinions.

Jooni, our blogging component has been liberating tool in that effort. In early days we had such explosion in terms of articles written by Rung Mung. But in recent times most of Rung authors have either been sucked into real life or gone on to create their blogs in different places.

Real life sometimes is such a drag :) Mundane thinRead More...

Factor Gen - X-Y

Future brides and grooms, ENGAGEMENT, a promise to marriage! Things keep changing so thoughts do. Recent wedding ceremonies Nov-Dec, 2009 brought me a lot of fun and most attendees like me were not aware of things being brought to that end (?); one thing, crowd of my peer group cared about was how the arrangement for younger lot.

With that a few marriages without DJ system brought up some singing talents in the market. Who cared anyway? Just pointing to the flaws of peer group ofRead More...
