Why are we born?

Purpose of every individuals life is entirely different.

A human living on the street thinks about the next meal she/he will be having.
Whereas a human living in a mediocre home thinks about her/his kid's education.
And an individual living in a huge bungalow will think about the next high-end car they would like to buy.

Recently i had been to an event in Hyderabad through my college. It was a birthday function for a kid of about 12 years. The decor, arrangements, furniture, food served, etc, would amount to more than 2 crores. Considering the fact that India is a country where every 1/6 kids in the world die due to starving(UN survey), is pathetic. This clearly shows the prevalence of concept of "accumulation of wealth". That profusely rich family, instead of feeding the wealthy individuals could have given the same amount to an orphanage.

When this idea of mine was shared with few of my friends, two kinds of responses were received.
1) Wouldn't you do the same thing to your kid if you have the same amount of money in the future?
2) How are we to survive if these filthy rich fellows do not celebrate such stuffs in this grand a manner?

My dear friends, if at all i have the same amount of money in the future, to celebrate my kid's birthday, i would contribute 90% of the money to an orphanage/old age home & rest 10% a function at my home for relatives & friends.

We humans have so many options for survival. We are all smart enough to search another job if not for these high-end parties.

Common friends, why don't we start thinking out of box? The Gen-Y is supposed to be thinking everything differently and implementing ideas which are for the benefit of the whole globe, as this is the age of Globalization. An India where there is not a single beggar on the streets. Just give it a thought. How amazing it looks! Isn't it?

Its not possible over night. Agreed!
Its not possible by a single individual. Agreed!
Its not possible without the contribution of Govt. Agreed!
Its not possible by people who have the heart alone(huge money is of great importance). Agreed!
Its not possible by Indian Youth. Nope! Not at all agreeable!!!

Everything's possible by the Gen-Y of India which is a contemporary mixture of speed, style, technology & Gandhian Principles. Which is waiting to change the future of Indian politics. An India where there are students who go abroad, gain knowledge, come back to mother land and become entrepreneurs.

It is 100% possible by the youth of India!
To create a country where not a single individual is found without having 3 meals a day!
To create a country where not a single individual is found begging on the streets!
To create a country where not a single student will go abroad to earn money!
To create a country where not a single sign of "Brain Drain" will be found!

To uplift our nation's pride & respect level must be the priority of the purpose of our lives, apart from partying with friends & moving out to watch a movie with our family. As already stated, its impossible to achieve all the above mentioned goals to be accomplished by virtue of a single human. A huge gathering of hearts with money to spend is a compulsion. Ironically these two are rarely found together.

So its better to make it a habit--> once we start earning, we should contribute every 1% of money we earn to an orphanage /old age home, every month. And surely, there will be a time when revolution will take place & change the complete face of our country. Lets hope for that time to be here soon.
Lets start realizing
Our purpose of life!
Our role in the society!
Our contribution to the nation!

Regards,
Fellow Indian!

Why did ancient man leave his cave?

" You are the Creator of your own Destiny "

- Swami Vivekanada

Yes, Human Beings are the victims of their own creations. Ever since the discovery of fire, invention of bulb & the creation of concrete jungles, we also began our travel towards the world, full of trash.

It is exhilarating to think that
Our ancestors lived in caves,
Breathing the cool air,
bathing under the fresh waterfalls,
Eating the tastiest of the fruits,
Loving without any intruding people,
Having no hectic deadlines at work,
Waking up whenever one feels like!

Human beings were free to do anything and everything under the sun. Tribal life still exits. And sometimes, i feel jealous of them. They lead a natural, fresh, healthy and most significantly happy life. Once, millions of years ago the whole planet earth enjoyed the same heavenly features. But, inventions are uncontrollable; Discoveries are unavoidable.

Actually, the trouble did not start with inventions and discoveries. It all started with those who wanted to exploit the luxury of these innovative ideas. There was a time when people were craving to have electricity. Presently there are few people who are wondering why the historic invention was made by Edison. And i'm one among them. Though i'm using one of the most sophisticated systems of communication to spread my anxiety, i crave to be eco-friendly by all means and at any cost.

Here comes a poem that was penned down from the bottom of my heart exactly an year ago, when i fell in love with nature in wake of saving its total destruction. It describes the agony of a human being, for not being able to enjoy the natural breeze and the creators' original grace.

Though these words were written on the Valentines Day of the Year 2k9, i would love to dedicate to the COPENHAGEN SUMMIT


WAKE UP HUMAN

HUMAN'S USE 4% OF THEIR BRAIN ONLY!
SCIENTISTS PROVED THIS IN THEIR RESEARCH FIRMLY!

WHAT AMOUNT OF CAPACITY WE POSSESS WITHIN US,
YET LOOSE CONFIDENCE AND MAKE SO MUCH FUSS!

WAKEUP PEOPLE AND REALIZE YOUR POTENTIAL,
AND LET'S UTILIZE OUR ENERGY FOR THE ESSENTIAL!

GOD MADE US THE SUPREME BEING ON EARTH,
WHAT HAVE WE DONE TO PROVE OUR WORTH?

BORN WERE PEOPLE WITH THE SAME CAPACITY,
WHO PROVED THEIR MIGHT WITH A GREAT AUTHORITY!

EDISON GAVE US LIGHT!
AND MADE OUR HOMES BRIGHT!
GRAHAM BELL GAVE US A RING!
WITH WHICH WE ALWAYS CLING!

WE NEED NOT BECOME SCIENTISTS MY FRIEND,
LET'S JUST THINK FOR A SECOND,
ABOUT THE ENERGY WEE SPEND!
SO THAT WE DON'T BRING OUR LOVELY WORLD TO A TRAGIC END!!!
