  • Shame On Us!

    NSG Commandoes, Snipers and Police gave their lives. With outdated equipment, laughable protection, no social security and loads of courage, they protected us. And what has Government done? Last month, Government was questioning their salary hikes? Bureaucrats got more money…not the people who are fighting for the nation…and losing lives because of the indecisiveness and rotten thinking of country’s political leaders.

    Shame on us! Shame on us for choosing them. Shame on us for allowing them to continue in their offices. 

    Why does India continue to have attacks?  Where is the professionalism to deal with such attacks? What kind of economic super power is this? We never learn!

    If a politician’s son had lost life in the hotel, would things have been different?

  • Do We Need More Terror Attacks To Act?

    The recent attacks on India’s Financial Capital and India clearly prove a few things:

    – we are helpless

    – we are indifferent

    – we expect politicians to act

    The audacity of attacks and the regularity of terror strikes has not moved us yet. We will enjoy today’s holiday, make few calls to check the safety of friends and then go back to daily life.

    Lives of innocent people have been lost. Lives of brilliant officers have been sacrificed. 

    I heard a few comments that some foreigners have been affected this time and hence Government will act. Do we foreign government to pressurize us to act? Are Indian lives cheaper?

    Will we make our representatives accountable and force them to act? We are not passing the buck to them. Everyone has a role to play and we have chosen them for protecting country’s interests. Let us ask questions and be more demanding. 

    Will the next elections bring us Change? Or do we need more terror attacks?

  • Save The Earth : The Story Of Stuff

    Kartik shared the following website with me – The Story of Stuff. 

     

    The video is remarkably different and creatively presented. Annie Leonard’s concepts and thoughts are beautiful expressed. The most important thing – it makes sense!

     

    Mindless Consumption needs to be controlled. Thrift needs to be encouraged. We have a responsibility towards Environment, Future Generations and Third World Nations.

     

    The Story of Stuff – Highly recommended !

  • Live2Give : Dhanax

    I come across lots of friends and well-wishers who wish to contribute to fellow human beings. Often, they do not have the time or the right information. They are ready to offer financial help, provided there is enough proof that the money is constructively and ethically utilized. 

    In this context, one of the interesting concepts is Dhanax. It is the online-offline person to person lending platform. 

    I have not used Dhanax so far. However, Dhanax and its founder is growing strong. In fact, its founder is nominated for MTV Youth Icons Of 2008. 

    Check Dhanax : How It Works! Its a good cause!

  • Live To Give

     

    If I can stop one heart from breaking, 
    I shall not live in vain; 
    If I can ease one life the aching, 
    Or cool one pain, 
    Or help one fainting robin 
    Unto his nest again, 
    I shall not live in vain. 
    : Emily Dickinson

     

    Live To Give is a concept of giving back to society. Whatever way. Whatever time. Helping anyone. 

     

    Live To Give is not an organization, it is a mantra for life. We have to leave the world by giving more than we received from it. We have to leave every place by making it better than what we found it. 

     

    Live To Give is an idea to get people to help each other. Organizations, individuals can help in any manner they deem fit. If you are good in accounts, please help an old age home to manage its accounts. If you are good in technology, help someone to learn computers. If you are good in marketing, please help the neighborhood library to add more members. If you love children, visit orphanages and spread joy. If you are well-connected, connect the have-nots with haves. The haves will be thankful. However, Live To Give is not helping just the have-nots or the non-elite. Not at all!

    Live To Give is a way of life. Give wherever you can. Give your best at work place. Give your best at home. Give your best to the fellow passenger on train. Give your best to the stranger looking for directions. Give your best to the friend in your life.

    What will matter the most to us? How much did we earn or what difference we made in the environment?
