  • Episode 15--Its an honor for me to tell you all that my mom got felicitated by the UP Chief Minister in Lucknow(UP) India

    Dear viewers of my Podcasts:
    Its an honor for me to tell you all that my mom got felicitated by the UP Chief Minister in Lucknow(UP) India:

    (Posted on 18 Aug 2014)

    My mother Mrs. Jamila Siddiqi, was recently felicitated by the UP State Government in India for her contributions to female literacy.

    I salute you mom for all the good work you are doing!!!!

    Following a felicitation in Aligarh (UP), in India she was invited to
    Lucknow (UP), India on Saturday Aug 2 ,2014,to meet with the Chief Minister of UP. The picture shows her with a plaque, flanked by my brother
    Dr. Shahid Jameel and my nephew Uzair Siddiqui which is seen in the video which I made.

    Ammi (Hindustani language for mom) started educating a few girls at
    home in the mid-90s and later opened the Ismat Literacy and
    Handicrafts Center on the AMU Aligarh(UP), India campus in October 1997. Getting close to 80, her energy and vision, is truly inspiring.
    The Ismat Center provides non-formal education and vocational
    training to about 100 girls each year. These girls come from very
    poor families. They are not charged any fees, with all expenses
    covered from private voluntary donations from friends and family.

    Video on this occasion reflecting my thoughts and loaded on You tube:

  • Episode 14-Celebrating Raksha Bandhan- By Dr. Afshan Hashmi


    Raksha Bandhan 2014 was on Sunday Aug 10, 2014 and every year I love to celebrate this festival. It is a Hindu festival from lndia but it is celebrated by many other religions in India as well as well by Indians living abroad. When sisters tie rakhi they get a promise from their brothers that they will always protect them and love them.

    Here I made a video on Raksha Bandhan and loaded it on You Tube Enjoy friends!!!
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=obSx06rCOrE

    These days Rakhi comes in variety of designs. There are expensive rakhis found in gold and diamonds as well as simple rakhis in threads. It depends what sisters like to tie on their brothers. Every year I tie rakhi to my real brothers as well as some brothers I have made through this beautiful festival. I celebrate through throwing party and this year’s cuisine was ‘Muglai Cuisine’ as I am fascinated by Mughal Dynasty and it is one of my favorite subjects which I have studied with great passion and Love!!!!

    Happy Raksha Bandhan to all the readers of my post!!!

    One of the songs of Raksha Bandhan I like a lot is from the Bollywood movie Hare Rama Hare Krishna and it depicts the flavor of this festival in a very beautiful way:
