Go Out & make a Change!!

What is generally on our minds day in n day out..??.....What will i play today....whom will i chat with on net...what i don't have...what my friends have...whats latest today ..but today i want to ask every person standing in the audience, how many people look outside their own sphere of life, towards those who are less fortunate than us...towards the have nots of the society...???

have u ever helped a child rummaging in the colony bins for some scrap of food ??
have u ever donated even one or two of the numerous dresses that you have to some kid who doesn't even have enough to cover the bare essentials..??
have u ever cared to look and love??

i don't deny that most of you on seeing such pathetic sites have your heart wrenching with pity and sympathy..but is that enough...will pity improve the condition of the poor children??...will sympathy help them feed themselves??..will discussing about poverty with your friends at lunch or dinner make any difference to them??

Think about it..we write in essays, we relate in speeches that children are the future of a nation...but does the term children imply only to the ones who go to school, wear cool clothes, and have a home n enough food to keep them healthy...what about those who live on the streets, in the slums n in the remotest n dirtiest places possible..??

don't they belong to the category of children...yes, of course they do...but i find it really hard to imagine how a child with no education, no money and no opportunity would prosper as a person n as a good citizen of his country...

It has always been about us...it is still always about us..but it shouldn't be only about us in the future..things have to change...it is the need of the hour for every individual in the society to reach out with a helping hand to these unfortunate children, ready to bloom and blossom..As school children also, it is absolutely necessary not only to be aware of the condition n needs of children less privileged than us but also to solicit our participation in helping them make a life and mark for themselves..this will inculcate in us from the early years a sense of social responsibility and belonging to our society..A child is a child's best friend and this can be a strong movement to bring hope into the lives of many needy children in our country.

Imagine how your little contribution can brighten the lives of so many, can bring a smile on the faces of so many and can change the scenario of our country...and above all IMAGINE the happiness and satisfaction that you would feel after doing little acts of goodness towards those who really need them...i think its worth it...So go out and make a change..

PROUD TO BE A GIRL!!

I am not a Feminist.It's not because i don't believe in myself.I strongly believe in me and in my instincts.But i don't like to confine myself to any "isms" since i believe that no "ism" on earth can guarantee the complete freedom of thoughts, of its followers.They all create many cults which have a predefined thinking agenda and which always fail to explore the limitless expressions of the mute hearts.My heart is an outrageously energetic one who cannot be tied up and who wish to fly without wings...

You may wonder why this introduction?Well,I am sure you can understand the reason when you finish reading my blog.

I am from a beautiful country named India in the peninsula of Asia..I am a proud Indian whose head is always held high and mind fearless.I have been taught from my childhood days to do my duty without expecting the results.

"Follow the Omens

Believe your Instincts

Never Ever Compromise with ur dreams

Do your Duties &&&

LIVE LIKE A KING ..."-My motto

If this is my motto there are many factors behind its design - the way iam brought up,my parents,the books i read,my friends,my teachers and the list goes on and on and on...I always dreamt of being the king in my professional and personal life.I used to sat near the window feeling the erotic moonlight and visualizing myself as one of the top business personalities,traveling in my "Corolla",using Apple Mac book laptops,blackberry mobile etc.etc..They were the best moments of my life...

Now my parents say that i am a big girl and its time for me to get married.I wondered for many reasons.First of all i have just started my life.I would like to sit alone on a seat near the window in an Airbus and would love to travel round the world. I would love to read a 100 more books, do a 100 more paintings and dance a 100 more times in rain.

1 interesting point that i would like to mention is.....It's customary to give the bride some "tolas"of gold by the parents at the time of marriage.Ofcourse they will give whatever they can to make the life of their daughter secure.What if the bridegroom demands it? And What if they demand a "scorpio","an apartment" and a"10 lakh bank deposit".

Can you think about the plight of a father of three girls?? Better commit suicide or start smuggling...

Even that is not enough.The bride's parents must buy everything(furniture,vessels,grocery,fridge,oven,washing machine etc) to their new house.And when everything is set the newly wedded couple together with the bride's in laws will shift to the new house.Not only that,for all the functions in the first year of marriage they are responsible for presenting the couple gold and dresses.Even after all these the girl belongs to his family and have the permission to go to her home only twice or thrice an year.How can they expect anyone at their old age?

What a business? Usually when you buy something with your money, you will be the owner of that..But here the things are different.The bride pays.Still the groom is the owner.What an injustice?If you are making it a business,apply all the rules and make it a good deal for both...;-)

Can you blame people of INDIA, if they kill a girl child at the early stage of pregnancy?

Giving birth to a girl is never a Sin.It is a BOON..

My DAD ,My MOM ..Don't get upset whatever happens I am there for you..How can i forget that without you i won't be here.....LOVE U!!

WILL I MARRY MAN FROM MARS ???

Will I have to live with an alien not as sweet as Jaadu??My life shall certainly not be Love 2050 and I will have no androids or Dr.Spock.

But are not men from Mars?

Well,I can see lots of men reading these lines go red with anger.But facts are facts.Otherwise how do you explain men's roving eyes no matter how beautiful the wife is,how do you explain not bringing grocery he compensates or prevents criticism and orders from a hotel,how do you explain the fact he does not forget to wish his mom's birthday or no matter how worse the food his mom cooks he eats as if just came from Sudan.How do also refute men are hunters and once the hunt is over they look for the next t.Any time a woman rider overtake a man on a bike or a car see the equal and opposite reaction he vroommmmmmmmms past her.All men would probably drape their women in a burqa when they feelpartners are good looking .Exceptions are Mr. Arbaz Khan who is more in clothed than his wifey.Well , few Metrosexuals are there.But one daring to wear wife's undies like Beckham?Or perhaps Mr.Angelina Jolie who carries the kids both own and adopted with elan'Few men do not mind looking after kids or working from home.But how many would look after their wife's parents or live with them.Also men have these frail egos specially in the bed.Hurt them and see them changing their personality.God only knows how was Mr.Adam.Since he ate an apple the garden of Eden is not the same.

Did I open a Pandora's box or a hornet's nest?

Guys, no hard feelings plz!!
