                       'Kahin doosron ki sampannta aur vyaktitya se aap aatankit to nahin ho jaate.

Kal main apni ek sakhi se milne gayi. Sada hans-mukh rahne wali meri sakhi mujhe badi khoyi-khoyi si lagi. Poochhne par boli-"Achchha hua tum aa gayi,man bada anmana sa ho raha tha."

          Baton-baton me pata chala ki vah kal hi apni ek rishtedari ki shadi se lauti hai. Uske mukh se shadi ki bhavyta ka haal sunte hue mujhe laga ki meri aatm-vishvasi saheli  ke mukh par sada bikhri rahne wali aatm-santushti ki muskan gayab se ho gayi hai.Vah kuchh-kuchh aatm-hinta ka shikar ho gayi hai.
           Meri saheli ko  shadi se aane ke bad lag raha tha ki vyakti ke pas itna dhan nhin to kuchh bhi nahin. Pati ka thik-thik business,apna sukhi gristh -jeevan sab use feeke lag rahe the.Vahan  mahngi poshakon tatha jevron se ladi-fadi dhani mahilayon ki chamak ke aage use apni bauddhikta, apna saumya,akarshak vyaktitya sab tuchchh pratit ho rahe the.Badi anamani si ho rahi thi vah.
             Esa aksar hota hai. kewal  dhan, shano-shokathi nahin, doosro ke vyaktitya se bhi kabhi-kabhi ham itne prabhavit ho jaate hain ki hame unke samaksh apna parishram,apni samajik  va aarthik stthi, apna sampurn astitva hi bauna nazar aane lagata hai. Hamare mastishk par doosre ki uplabdhiyon tatha visheshtayo ka aatank sa chha jaata hai.
               Hame lagta hai,kash doosaro ki tarah hamare pas bhi itna dhan hota, kash hame bhi Ishwar ne itna saundarya diya hota.Ham par yah sab nahin hai isliye vah vyakti ham se uncha hai,shreshth hai aur kabhi-kabhi itne aatankit ho jaate hain ki sochne lagte hain ki vah vyakti hamara apman karne ke liye bhi adhikrit hai jab ki us vyakti ka aisa koi mansha nahin hota. Yah hamari hin-bhavna hi hoti hai. Us vyakti ka isme koi haath nahi hota.
                 Jab hame apni nuntayon aur abhavon par itni glani  anubhav hoti hai to kya hame apne gunon tatha uplabdhiyon par prasannta bhi anubhv kar gourvanvit  (ghamand nahin) nahin hona chahiye? Mana kuchh gun va suvidhayen hamare pas nahi hai magar bahut se  sukh tatha achchhe gun aise bhi avashya honge jo hamre pas hain doosron par nahin. Unhe Prabhu ka aashirvad samajh  prabhu ka dhanyavad karna chahiye na ki vyarth me  glani anubhv kar apna manobal girana chahiye. Ishvar sab ko ek saman nahin banata.  Kisi ko koi vishetta tatha sukh pradan karta hai to kisi ko kuchh.
                  Prabhavit hona buri baat nahi hai .Kisi se prabhavit hona us vyakti ka samman karna hi hai.Kintu uske prabav me aakar uski nakal  karna athva vaisa hi banne ka pryas karna chahe vah hamari prakrti athva mansikta se mail khaye ya na khaye,yah buri baat hai.
                   Haan kisibhi insan ki uplabdhiyon tatha guno, se hame swasth prerna avashya leni chahiye.
                    Kisi bhi vyakti ki bahri chamak dekh kar ham sochte hain ki vah vyakti bahut sukhi hai kintu vastav me aisa hota nahi hai. Har chamakne wali vastu sona nahi hoti.Kisika antrik jeevan kaisa hai ya vah kitna santusht hai yah pal do pal me ya kuchh hi samaya ki jaan-pahchan se nahin gyat ho jata.
                    Meri sakhi unki daulat ki chamak se prabhavit ho gayi kintu use unke antrik jeevan ka kya pata? Sooraj ki chamak ke pichhe kitni tapan hoti hai, yah sab jante hain. Dhanvan hona hi sukhi va santusht hone ki nishani nahi hai.
                    Kuchh sukh va vishetayen  Ishvar-padatta hote hain to kuchh sukh man ki soch se jude hote hain. Agar Ishvar pradatta hai to isme Ishvar ki marzi. Atah jis karya par  Ishvar ka vash hai, hamara nahin to unhen vichar kar ham kyon dukhi hoye. Han jo hamare vash me hai unhe prapt karne ka hame poorn pryas karna chahiye. Sabse mahatvpoorn bat to yah hai ki hamare pas Ishvar ka diya jo kuchh hai use uska anmol uphar samajh kar apne hridya me atm-santosh ki svasth soch viksit karte hue uska sadupyog karte hue aage badhna chahiye. 

Meri samajhdar saheli ki soch ko bhi doosro ki daulat ki chamak ne atankit sa kar diya tatha vah kuchh samaya ke liye apne sukhi -santoshi jeevan ko bhi vyarth sa samajhne lagi. Kahne ka tatparya yah hai ki doosron ki visheshtayon ka samman kare,unse prerna bhi len kintu apne pas uplabdh suvidhayon tatha apne gunon ke mahatva ko kam kar na aanke. Apne mano-mastishk ko kisiki bhi uplabdhiyon tatha vyaktitya ke aatank se bacha kar rakhe tatha vyarth hi irshya aur hin-bhavna ka shikar na hone de.

                                               ____________________

Anju, your poems are not the type of content that is included in English Wikipedia, for two reasons. First, this is a factual encyclopedia which publishes verifiable facts. Poems do not fall into this category. Secondly, your poems are in Hindi and will not be understood by the majority of English Wikipedia users. May I suggest that you go to the Hindi version of Wikipedia and discuss this with them, although I am not optimistic that they will publish them - for my first reason. You can find the Hindi Wikipedia by going to the Main Page and clicking on the appropriate language tab on the left side.

What does the Hindi text say? Neither transcription nor google translate work. --Pp.paul.4 (talk) 01:34, 19 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
If your poems have been published in 'many magazines', then it is possible that you, your poems, or the magazines are notable, but you will need to provide reliable sources if you want to publish information about them on Wikipedia. 81.98.43.107 (talk) 15:40, 19 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Mastercard banks[edit]

Where can I find a list of banks that partner with mastercard to allow cash advances at ATMs? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Casebash (talkcontribs) 12:12, 18 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A simple search for 'Mastercard ATM' in any decent internet search engine [1] [2] should find [3] or a related page as one of the top search results. You're looking for ATMs that are part of the Cirrus (interbank network) Nil Einne (talk) 16:28, 18 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks Nil, but that is a list of ATMs. I am looking for a list of banks - I don't want to have to look at every ATM in the world to compile such a list. --122.106.167.25 (talk) 21:33, 18 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Won't there be banks with some ATMs that allow Mastercard cash advances, and some that don't? What about ATMs belonging to organisations other than banks? 81.98.43.107 (talk) 15:31, 19 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I was wondering the same thing. To the OP: if you're looking to get a cash advance at an ATM with your Mastercard, then what you need is a list of ATMs that offer this facility, not a list of banks. --Viennese Waltz 15:42, 19 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I too am a bit confused about what the OP is looking for. If the OP has a Mastercard then the link I provided should be helpful. It's possible (likely?) that some Mastercards don't allow cash advances at ATMs. That being the case, if the OP doesn't have a Mastercard but wants to get one that allows cash advances at ATMs but needs to provide a bank that would provide one then I strongly suspect most banks with Mastercard will allow this but they may have additional requirements before they allow it so you can never get a simple list and in any case a worldwide list is extremely unlikely (and I don't get why the OP would want a worldwide list anyway). (Note that even if your bank allows cash advances at ATMs with your Mastercard, you may need to activate it, particularly for overseas usage.)
If the OP has a Mastercard and wants a full list of banks which allows cash advances at their ATMs, I suspect a worldwide list is going to be almost impossible to find because:
It's going to be very, very long.
As has been mentioned, there will be ATMs that aren't part of a bank. And it's also possible some banks will have some ATM which are part of Cirrus and some which aren't (I find this a bit strange but banking setups throughout the world can be quite variable).
The list of ATMs is ultimately more useful for many people. If you're visiting a specific country for a fair while, it may be useful particularly if there aren't that many banks, to find out which bank ATMs you can generally withdraw money from and which you can't, but you can usually work this out yourself fairly fast. And the usefulness of this goes down as the number of banks goes up. So I don't think Mastercard (or anyone else) is likely to bother to provide such a worldwide list.

example video of article changes?[edit]

Hiya folks. Does any know of any example videos that visually show how an article has changed over time, or any tools to make such videos? For example, a video animation made from sequential screen shots of each item in an articles revision history. Thanks. Eclipsed   (talk)   (COI Declaration)   22:37, 18 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If you do a search on YouTube for Wikipedia article time lapse, you'll get a few results. Will that work for you? Dismas|(talk) 23:53, 18 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yup! Search on wikipedia article time lapse brings up exactly what I wanted. Thanks. Eclipsed   (talk)   (COI Declaration)   00:15, 19 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
