Life may be easy to spell but i wish it was that easy while going through it.Everything has its price to pay and so life demands the price to let live.Life is in many forms.....a life with a struggle to bring one day meal back home for one's family,a life where struggle and efforts loose its weightage on the scale of money,a life where a guy at an age of 22 or 23 far from his home and family is standing tall on the border saving his country,a life where money can buy many things including people,a life where there is everything except ethics,morality and character,a life where the people who elect their representatives are being crushed by those representatives,a life where money is everything and GOD is money,a life where multimillionares have thousands of crores to spend on marriages and villas,a life where the farmers who provide grains are dying due to hunger and loans.
There are so many versions of life,but unfortunately there are so less people who understand the real meaning and motive of life.Money has become the utmost motive and life has taken shape of a business.Business of emotions,feelings,truth,ethics,morality is being traded every moment.In this race we have become insane and selfish.India is one of the biggets exporters of wheat and rice but the irony is that the farmers who are feeding us and millions worldwide are hungary.We feel proud to associate Lakshmi mittal like people with our country but what these people have contributed for the poor people and farmers of our country.We feel proud to name ambanis everywhere and associate India with them but may i ask what they have done for the country except giving revenues and endorsing political parties? These multimillionares have so much to spend but think of the family of a farmer whose earning hand commited suicide due to loans for a amount as less as Rs500.
People in this country have so much to complaint but does anyone of us act as responsible citizens? We complaint about the corrupt and inefficient system,we complaint about the roads,traffic and blah blah but has anyone of us tried to bring a change in system? We are a part of this system......when you bribe a policeman you are corrupting the system,when you litter around you damage public property,when you break traffic signals you breaks rules,when you choose a leader just because he/she belongs to your religion or caste you kill democracy.Why don't you get into the system and try to remove dirt? Parents dream to see their child as doctor,engineer,CA,advocate,actor,cricketer,dancer,singer but has any parent ever motivated their child to become a politician????
Indians have excelled in all the countires of world except India.The answer lies with each one of us but its up to you to realise things and to act.One can't close its eyes to get away with situations.I have seen situations where a man battaling for his life and lying on road and not even a single person is bothered to atleast take him to hospital or even inform police or hospital.God forbids if its one of your family members is in such situation then?
Think..think and think....life echoes n whatever you do to others comes back to you in some or the other way.If you cannot respect the land on which you took birth then you can't even respect that lady who gave birth to you.We need a change of thoughts and change that brings peace everywhere.

Why is the media here so negative?
Why are we in
We are such a great nation. We have so many amazing success stories but we refuse to acknowledge them. Why?
We are the first in milk production.
We are number one in Remote sensing satellites.
We are the second largest producer of wheat.
We are the second largest producer of rice..
Look at Dr. Sudarshan , he has transferred the tribal village into a self-sustaining, self-driving unit.. There are millions of such achievements but our media is only obsessed in the bad news and failures and disasters..
I was in Tel Aviv once and I was reading the Israeli newspaper. It was the day after a lot of attacks and bombardments and deaths had taken place. The Hamas had struck. But the front page of the newspaper had the picture of a Jewish gentleman who in five years had transformed his desert into an orchid and a granary. It was this inspiring picture that everyone woke up to. The gory details of killings, bombardments, deaths, were inside in the newspaper, buried among other news.

Why this obsession with everything imported. Do we not realize that self-respect comes with self-reliance? I was in

YOU say that our government is inefficient.
YOU say that our laws are too old.
YOU say that the municipality does not pick up the garbage.
YOU say that the phones don't work, the railways are a joke.. The airline is the worst in the world, mails never reach their destination.
YOU say that our country has been fed to the dogs and is the absolute pits.

Will the Indian citizen do that here?' He's right. We go to the polls to choose a government and after that forfeit all responsibility.
We sit back wanting to be pampered and expect the government to do everything for us whilst our contribution is totally negative. We expect the government to clean up but we are not going to stop chucking garbage all over the place nor are we going to stop to pick a up a stray piece of paper and throw it in the bin. We expect the railways to provide clean bathrooms but we are not going to learn the proper use of bathrooms.
We want Indian Airlines and Air
This applies even to the staff who is known not to pass on the service to the public.
When it comes to burning social issues like those related to women, dowry, girl child! and others, we make loud drawing room protestations and continue to do the reverse at home. Our excuse? 'It's the whole system which has to change, how will it matter if I alone forego my sons' rights to a dowry.' So who's going to change the system?
What does a system consist of? Very conveniently for us it consists of our neighbours, other households, other cities, other communities and the government. But definitely not me and YOU. When it comes to us actually making a positive contribution to the system we lock ourselves along with our families into a safe cocoon and look into the distance at countries far away and wait for a Mr. Clean to come along & work miracles for us with a majestic sweep of his hand or we leave the country and run away.
Like lazy cowards hounded by our fears we run to
Dear Indians, The article is highly thought inductive, calls for a great deal of introspection and pricks one's conscience too…. I am echoing J. F. Kennedy's words to his fellow Americans to relate to Indians…..
'ASK WHAT WE CAN DO FOR
Let’s do what
It used to be a family where there were three pillars of poilitics,Indira,Sanjay and Rajiv Gandhi.But today the scenerio has changed,its Sonia Vs Maneka Gandhi and Rahul Vs Varun Gandhi.Sonia Gandhi an Italian by birth now commands the All India Congress Comitte and Maneka is a MP on BJP's ticket.Maneka is somewhat a faded chapter now.Her son Varun was in headlines during the recent loksabha elections.
Varun who just came out from his shell,is a beginner in politics and in his beganning only his thoughts and values were infront of the country.His hatered filled statements that were recorded by media against muslim society were unbearable and inhumane.A podgy guy with no brains and no values was exposed by media to a humane society.In the roads of politics his statements caught fire but these series of events were taken as an opportunity to target votebanks by political parties.
BJP fully backed Varun gandhi behind the curtain and from front too.While most of the political parties were more interested in claiming themselves to be the 'Maseeha' of muslim society.The inhumane statements of Varun made society to think and they rejected BJP and gave mandate to congress to form its government for the second consecutive term.But unfortunately Varun gandhi won from his constituency.If people wont take an action against such dirty politicians than noone can save society and people.It was the people of pilibhit that choose varun but its wasn't a win of values and truth.
I am happy that Mr. Sanjay Gandhi is not alive today,if he would be,he must not be able to see his son like that.The political stature is falling down day by day by such corrupt and inefficient politicians who are just concerned for chair and money.The 'Aam admi' is left way behind and such politicians are dividing society in name of cast and religion.
There are many politicians of such low dignity and values in India and thats the reason the we are not growing the way we should.Still there are lakhs of people who sleep empty stomach and hardly get meal once a day,Still there are places where people die because of hunger,Still there are places where people do not get drinkable water,Still there are lakhs of villages where there is no electricity,Still more than 40% population of India is illetrate,Still women are kept behind curtains,Still there are child marraiges,Still a women is raped infront of people and nobody stands for her safety.There are many more things to quote but its more important that everyone realises what's going and should react positively to situations.
We do not vote for a right candidate,we do not think beyond caste and religion.Still people like Varun gandhi,Raj thakrey,DP yadav,Raja bhaiya,Arun gawali,Pappu yadav,Shibhu soren and many more like them are sitting in chairs of MP'S,MLA'S and CABINET ministers.These politicians are eating our system,values,humantity,money like termites.There is a proverb that "with wheat the husk also had to grind".There are few good politicians too and its just because of them that our country is running.We will have to accept that out judisciary system and election commision is not that strong.We need to bring a change and that change can be brought by the common people of this country.
I am Hindu,I am Muslim,I am Sikh,I am Christian but at first i am a "HUMAN BEING".
