I am an "Indian"

As a little boy i used to ask my Grand mom about her freedom struggle experience and every time she told me the story i swear her eyes shined brighter than the sun on solstice.. She had a look of accomplishment..she had achieved something..and today i sit and wonder..what have i done for my Country?When some foreigner asks me where i am from, I proudly say " I am an Indian".. But what have i done to call myself an Indian? Yeah..I do stop my friends from littering..once in a while tech little kids to read.. but come on..that just makes me a good citizen..The country needs me..us.. We the youth have to get together and do something.. as an individual we can only make excuses(what can i do alone?) but as a group we actually do something.. Rohit told me about Indian students and youth representative to the united nations and i really liked the Idea and today i feel proud to say that, Yes! i am an active member of this group.. We all want to grow up and settle down in different countries but why not develop India instead and make people want to settle down here? we have the resources, we have the land and we have manpower..Why wait for the day when we have a literate politician in the ministry when we qualified youth can address the problems of our nation right now?? Lets do something, Lets work for a better India cause i for one want to have the same look in my eyes as my grand mom when i tell my story to my grand kids.. I SAY RUN.. Do you?? :)

We the People

India-Classified as a developing country..Developing?? but why?? why not Developed? Its been more than 50 years since our Independence..Then why is the Country still developing??Even we have big,tall and shiny buildings..we have the best medical facilities..malls..sport complex..we have everything..but then why? what could be the reason? could it be us? we the people!? well ill tell you bout a little experience that i had recently.. I was traveling by train..it was a long journey so i had ordered food..and when it comes to food, i go crazy..i ordered almost everything on the list only to realize that i cant finish it all.. I dint want to waste food.. We all would have seen those poor little kids who come and clean the train in a hope of earning some money.. so One of those kids entered my compartment..so i thought i can give away the food pack to him..I was placed in the upper birth..I called out for him..but he dint listen..so I asked the people sitting on the lower birth to call him.. and i saw something that shocked me.. literally shocked.. The lady below was about to tap him on his back and ask him to look up..when she stopped..stopped.. took a slipper and tapped him with that.. she dint want to touch him.. how sad is that? Did i just witness untouchability?? Its our mindset people.. if as a person we cant develop then how can we expect our country to develop??We have to change.. we cant sit around and blame the politicians for everything..that's the cowards way out.. we can sit and play the blame game or actually step up and do something.. the choice is ours, cause till then the country is only developing..

How cool are we to Meditate?

Its a common misconception among the Youth these days..Meditation and yoga is for losers.. Many of these so called "cool" people just refuse to acknowledge the fact that Meditation helps you gain control over your Life.. You know its funny.. A cool person is the one who is calm and willing to try out new things in life, yeah?But these so called "Cool" people just reject the idea of meditation,without even giving it a second thought.. And they call themselves cool..Yeah right.. Yes you are cool in some weird creepy parallel universe.. SO what has one to do to get these people to open their eyes and have just one look,Give meditation and yoga just one chance?Start the Belt system like judo and karate??Cause after all what's the difference between Yoga and Martial arts??They both make you strong physically and Mentally.. Then why this misconception??Just Because Yoga Originated in India??Does that make it "local"?Then why use the ZERO?Even that's local.. Meditation is the best way to relax oneself.. In this modern anxiety filled era where the youth is worried and tensed , It could be anything, starting from the performance of their favorite sports team to the Mega Mighty Exam Monster.. Just One hour of meditation will do wonders to your day! Meditation Give you an Inner strength to face any new problem in fe in a calm and sober way.. And that my friends, makes you cool!!

Its the CAUSE, NOT the Answer

December 7, 1941..It was a day like any other..A bright Sunday morning..clear sky..it was a ordinary day for people of Hawaii..But things changed..the clear sky now turning dark,People could see large number of planes(353 to be precise) heading towards pearl harbor.. It was a surprise military strike conducted by the Japanese navy against the United states of America..The attack sank 4 U.S navy battle ships, wounded nearly 1,500 and took lives of over 2,500 people..It was an attack the world can never forget..will never forget..Cause on this day the sleeping giant woke up..what followed next was total chaos.."little boy" and "fat man" shook the world..on August 6, 1945 the "little boy" jumped on the city of Hiroshima followed by "fat man" crushing the city of Nagasaki on August 9.."little boy" and "fat man" were the two nuclear bombs dropped on the city of Hiroshima and Nagasaki as ordered by the U.S President Harry S. Truman.. Over 200,000 men and women lost their lives..Thousands more have died with Illness attributed to exposure to radiation released by the bombs..And when all this was happening in some corner of the sky,Mars,The god of war was smiling.. he had done his work..Before man learned to talk..man learned to fight..fight for something which was not even his..Even Today we fight these wars its just that the face of war has changed..in the earlier times the opponents would face each other bravely and fight..today One opponent attacks the other like a gut less chicken..yes..terrorism..Michel Nostradamus (born Michel de Nostredame), a 16th Century French astrologer and physician once predicted..

In the year of the new century and nine months,
From the sky will come a great King of Terror…
The sky will burn at forty-five degrees.
Fire approaches the great new city…

In the city of York there will be a great collapse,
two twin brothers torn apart by chaos
while the fortress falls the great leader will succumb
third big war will begin when the big city is burning

And it so happened that on September 11, 2001 the city of New york was under attack..
On that morning, 19 Islamist terrorists affiliated with al-Qaeda hijacked four commercial passenger jet airliners.The hijackers intentionally crashed two of the airliners into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, killing everyone on board and many others working in the building.The United States responded to the attacks by launching a "War on Terrorism", invading Afghanistan to depose the Taliban, who had harbored al-Qaeda terrorists, and enacting the USA PATRIOT Act.And once again the god of war was laughing..

November 26,2008 The City of Mumbai after a tiering day was shook to its very roots when 15 gunmen entered the busy capital..Hundreds of people lost their lifes..The atack lasted for 4 days..the attacks occurred in South Mumbai: at Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus the Oberoi Trident, the Taj Mahal Palace & Tower, Leopold Cafe, Cama Hospital, the Orthodox Jewish-owned Nariman House, the Metro Cinema, and a lane behind the Times of India building and St. Xavier's College. There was also an explosion at the Mazagaon docks, in Mumbai's port area, and in a taxi at Vile Parle.

War..We have been fighting wars for a very long time..but where has all this led us to??nowhere..so why dont we give peace a chance??war has never been the answer..it has always been the "cause"..People are afraid to step out of their houses.."What if today is the day i die?"..Its not late..we can stop these wars..All we have to do is to start spreading the message of peace and love and soon we will have the god of war cornered..only to teach him to love too.. :)
