If you ask an Italian why time is important, he will say “Il tempo è Denaro:” time is money, money is time.

But how a Hindustanis would react to this question? Well! He will reply: “We have neither time nor money.” He is right. The Hindustanis hardly are bothered about time, timely decisions. No wonder they don’t have enough money.

If the Indian Government really had time-conscious, it would have corrected the aberrations in the Indian Standard Time (IST) way back in 2006 when the Planning Commission suggested that the country may have two time-zones. This would have meant implementing the Daylight Saving Time or DST for the Northeast saving electricity bills by huge proportion.

Even now when one glances through the poem Batohiya written in Bhojpuri, one is charmed by its lyrical grace and its passionate depiction of the flora and fauna of Bharat, its history and its geography, Raghuvir chose to write in the Bhojpuri dialect although his command on English Arabic and Hindi was equally commendable. When Dante wrote Divine Comedy, he preferred to write in the Tuscan dialect which later became standardized Italian language. Many singers have sung the song Batohiya but most people do not know who wrote this immortal lyric and in this connection it will be appropriate to quote a line from John Keats that Batohiya poem" is not born for death". It had become a household name in the thirties and forties of the last century and had inspired millions to feel proud of their culture and tradition.
