LIve enjoy life to its fullest

once a poet wrote
"The clock of life is wound but once,and no man has the power to tell just when the hands will stop,at late or early hour.Now is the only time you own.Live,love,toil with a will.Place no faith in time.For the clock may soon be still"

Spend time for kids..

A senior Counsel in court once called me and told me you know what surel,i have everything in world today but my son does not have time for me.But he said it was he who was responsible for his misery.he said when his son was small and had time ,but i was busy minting money.No whats the worth on money i have earned if for whom i have earned has no time for me and for whom i have earned it.wise words.Its very important that we spare good quality time with our issues.They should feel that there is someone who really cares for them.just leaving them with care takers/domestic helpers is not the solution.when they grow up they will always remember what u have done for them not that we should do all this for our old age .but it is necessary for childs good upbringing as a human being.they need to be taught tolerance and mutual respect for communities.They should be told not to compare themselves with others rather have compassion for who are not doing well in school.They should be taught to participate in all activities but they should not emerge winners at cost of others. winning always is not important but finishing and giving 100% in all activities they do is important.Compassion for poor needy and downtrodden needs to inbibed in them at this tender age.with this we can hope to try to settle social order.

A let down To Dr.Ambedkars vision

I have been a great admirer of Dr.Babsaheb Ambedkar.rising up from hostile ,adverse enviornment he went and re wrote history.he paved way for upliftment of the downtrodden and the neglected.He saw to it that those who are neglected,sidelined by the upper caste get due benefits as a any ordinary Indian HUMAN BEINGwould get.
But the question is have those for whom these benefits have being confered have lived up to his expectations or have they let him down.
The whole object of reservation was to see that few who take initial benefit would later on give the helping hand to others similarly placed.But as i see it they hae let him and his ideologies down.each one of them takes benefit(nothing wrong in it its their right) but then does not proceed further ,he/she stops there.The later major responsibility is totally forgotten.each one of them conveniently forgets that they are bestowed the benefits for a purpose.
How will his ideologies and foresight be fulfilled if people are so narrow minded.No wonder why majority of them still suffer the social stigma and are pupets in hands of politicians.
If we really want to live up to the expecations of great man all those who take benefit have to rise above themselves and leave the narrow mindedness .
Lets not let him down any further.lets pay tribute to him by acheiving what he wanted to

compulsory donation

The big business houses spendmillions onpromoting their brand throw lavish parties,spend so as to get maximum deductions from tax.should it not be the law that they should donate or adopt orphange ,old age homes or run free school and colleges .atx i doubt how honestlt they pay and even if they do pay how much is really utilized for upliftmet of poor and the needy.All the beneficial schemes are implementee through kith and kin of political bigwigs.so does the money really reach the needy? it is therefoer necessary that big companies do pay money to old age homes,orphanges or start stae of art school and colleges for POOR & NEEDY

water conservation

Its much hyped topic.i dont know why we dont try simple tricks to save water.we in mumbai use air conditioners for at least 5-6 hours a day/night.how much water is released,nobody bothers to collect the water which is released can it not be channelised?pipe leakages are not fixed timely.there are no insulated pipes which would tend to prevent both evepouration and wear and tear of pipes.its time we get our act together.is a option but then it also causes the level of water to rise.why cant we have a resorviors at common places such as gardens which can store rain water which can be utilisd later.we have many options but too little time to think about them
surel shah

social parties

how much do so called page 3 socialities spend on parties.dnt they think that with that amount they can fund at least 10 needy poor kids education.what a shame
