Change needed - Of Individual or System?

                                 There is always this dissatisfaction in my mind in various philanthropic activities targeting one issue / area, collecting funds for that purpose etc,. My thought was what change would this bring, with a few individuals only being benefited. Why donate again when we are all paying heavy taxes every where, while those taxes are being usurped by undeserving, selfish politicians and bureaucrats.The change has to happen at grass roots level, we need to address the problem at the root.

                                 I had to change my mind. May be we are bringing hope and happiness to at least some lives. May be by setting an example, the world(including those corrupt) is getting to know that even a normal person  can bring a change, braving all obstacles. May be by looking at more and more people doing self-less work, there might be a change in those selfish people too.Very inspiring stories... these need to be publisised more than those negative stories. Since media has become so visible and influencing factor in our life, it has to be used in a positive way.
                                Would definitely start a channel only with all the inspiring stories happening around the world. Lets bring a positive revoution!!

                                 Both have to happen simultaneously, change at the individual level and the system too. One idea and request to all those people who are doing self-less work at grass root level should contest in elections, please spread your work and apply your ideas to larger public with more easy funds and government machinery available to you.Getting in to the system is the way to clean it. Please don't think that politics and service are different.

                                An old motivational quote - Don't think. ACT!

Rise in Sexual abuse on children

Its Shocking. There is no reprieve to my troubled mind, after reading these every day news of sexual abuse on small children, increasingly by their own family members, including father and brother. Imagine what must be going on in the child's mind. Two days back there is a news about a 5yr old girl being abused by her uncle. Bite marks found all over her body including lips. Police are awaiting medical report!? What for ?
What kind of a punishment should these beasts be given? Shouldn't the law act brisk to convict and punish the accused.

Can that be expected in the Indian Judicial system? Haven't many of us lost our faith in our judicial system? Experts have been saying that there is a pressing need to revamp our Judicial system as well as Police. Why aren't these done on a preference? What are they doing in the Parliament? Fighting over a bill for promotions on reservations. VEXED OF THESE POLITICIANS. Yes we are. But what are we doing to change it. We are all so busy in our personal lives, gratification of senses by indulging in what ever pleases to each. Isn't TIME RIPE for people to JUMP in to action, and put things to place. WHATS STOPPING US???

Also my quest will be to find what factors are actually creating these monsters? Can any one help?

India And disability

                   I think there are no two thoughts when it comes to how disabled friendly is India. Any work related with government, instead of making it easy for people with disabilities, there is on contrary a round about and never ending procedure, that will actually turn out to be a test of endurance and positivity.

                   Am experiencing this to get a 4 wheeler driving license. I also got to know some shocking truth. Government gives 400 rupees per month as a pension for people with more than 75% disability. While am sure the same people with a never say die attitude will be earning many times this frugal amount. Its an insult to the person. What can a person get with 400 rupees a month in India?
                 In this context, I would like to provide a link to one of the episodes of Satyamevjayate, where very relevant facts and solutions have been mentioned.

Every example in this program is inspirational including a small girl who doesn't blame any one or God but has only hope to betterment.

We don't need the money that govt gives, but the infrastructure and facilities to work have to be designed and implemented. How can make this happen?

Be the Leader

I was thinking broadly what can be the reason for most of the problems people face across the nations., which if addressed might bring peace.  One major thing I encountered is Leadership. It can be A Nation, A State, or a Home.

In day to day life, I haven't come across people who really spew venom on other community, or country. And yet we read news every day about the deaths caused by a country bombing another one, a human killing the other. All we need is good Leader ship at every level. But unfortunately, history has given very few of them till date. All through the history, there are examples of treason, greed which brought about the worst of wars and deaths of millions of innocents.

WHY?

Are we incapable of leading ourselves. Why do we always look to others to lead us? Are we realizing that temporary comfort is all we are looking at and that largely we are all selfish. But by looking only at personal goals, aren't we loosing the bigger perspective.One day our negligence or non- participation will be the cause for our personal problems too,like the price rise we are seeing today, the stink in our neighbourhood/road side bcos of irresponsible disposal of garbage to name a few.

At least we should take care in choosing good leaders.I urge all those who have the inclination to cleanse the system to join politics, and all those who would like to see a change, propagate this idea and do vote after a careful consideration.
