Happy New Year..2011

नए साल में…
निराशाओं के अंधेरे में
आशाओं के लट्टू लेकर चलना
और भिड़ जाना चुनौतियों की भींत से.
दुखों के पहाड़ जब हिमालय हो जाएं
तो गलते हैं
और बहती है गंगा
जीवन के उर्वर मैदानों में
लहलहाती है जीवटता की फसलें.
या कि
समय का एंटीवायरस
डिटेक्‍ट/डिलीट कर देता है
विपदाओं की अधिकतर फाइलें
और
पहले से बेहतर चलने लगता है
जीवन का सिस्‍टम
नए साल में
ईश्वर से पूरे दिल से प्रार्थना करता हूँ
आपके वो ख्वाब पूरे हों
जो आपने देखे थे
गए साल

The value of honesty !!!!

A successful business man was growing old and knew it was time to choose a successor to take over the business. Instead of choosing one of his Directors or his children, he decided to do something different. He called all the young executives in his company together.

He said, 'It is time for me to step down and choose the next CEO. I have decided to choose one of you. 'The young executives were shocked, but the boss continued. 'I am going to give each one of you a SEED today - one very special SEED. I want you to plant the seed, water it, and come back here one year from today with what you have grown from the seed I have given you. I will then judge the plants that you bring, and the one I choose will be the next CEO.'

One man, named Jim, was there that day and he, like the others, received a seed. He went home and excitedly, told his wife the story. She helped him get a pot, soil and compost and he planted the seed. Everyday, he would water it and watch to see if it had grown. After about three weeks, some of the other executives began to talk about their seeds and the plants that were beginning to grow. Jim kept checking his seed, but nothing ever grew.

Three weeks, four weeks, five weeks went by, still nothing.

By now, others were talking about their plants, but Jim didn't have a plant and he felt like a failure. Six months went by -- still nothing in Jim's pot. He just knew he had killed his seed. Everyone else had trees and tall plants, but he had nothing. Jim didn't say anything to his colleagues, however. He just kept watering and fertilizing the soil - He so wanted the seed to grow.

A year finally went by and all the young executives of the company brought their plants to the CEO for inspection. Jim told his wife that he wasn't going to take an empty pot...

But she asked him to be honest about what happened. Jim felt sick to his stomach, it was going to be the most embarrassing moment of his life, but he knew his wife was right. He took his empty pot to the boardroom. When Jim arrived, he was amazed at the variety of plants grown by the other executives. They were beautiful -- in all shapes and sizes. Jim put his empty pot on the floor and many of his colleagues laughed, a few felt sorry for him!When the CEO arrived, he surveyed the room and greeted his young executives.

Jim just tried to hide in the back. 'My, what great plants, trees, and flowers you have grown,' said the CEO. 'Today one of you will be appointed the next CEO!'

All of a sudden, the CEO spotted Jim at the back of the room with his empty pot. He ordered the Financial Director to bring him to the front. Jim was terrified. He thought, 'The CEO knows I'm a failure! Maybe he will have me fired!'When Jim got to the front, the CEO asked him what had happened to his seed - Jim told him the story. The CEO asked everyone to sit down except Jim. He looked at Jim, and then announced to the young executives, 'Behold your next Chief Executive Officer!

His name is Jim!' Jim couldn't believe it. Jim couldn't even grow his seed.'How could he be the new CEO?' the others said.

Then the CEO said, 'One year ago today, I gave everyone in this room a seed. I told you to take the seed, plant it, water it, and bring it back to me today. But I gave you all boiled seeds; they were dead - it was not possible for them to grow.

All of you, except Jim, have brought me trees and plants and flowers. When you found that the seed would not grow, you substituted another seed for the one I gave you.

Jim was the only one with the courage and honesty to bring me a pot with my seed in it. Therefore, he is the one who will be the new Chief Executive Officer!'

POVERTY IN INDIA

Even more than 50 years after independence from almost two centuries of British rule, large scale poverty remains the most shameful blot on the face of India.

          India still has the world’s largest number of poor people in a single country. Of its nearly 1 billion inhabitants, an estimated 350-400 million are below the poverty line, 75 per cent of them in the rural areas.Poverty is the root cause of terrorism

  India has over one billion people and approximately four hundred million of these live on less than one 46.99 a day.  Around five hundred million live on less than two dollars a day. Unbelievably, eighty percent of the population of India that are living in poverty.  Nearly half of all the children in India are undernourished, much more than in Sub-Saharan Africa. The lack of health care in IndiaThere are some relief programs that are supplying free samples and other stuff for the poor in India, such as food and toys. Some are trying to teach the poor people more about computers so they can become more informed of what is going on around the world. Multinationals and entrepreneurs are making poor people in India their target for a hub of the computer innovation.  Computer literacy has become one of the more effective tools in combating poverty, opening up windows of opportunity for many who would otherwise not be aware of those options.  This is particularly important in poor India.Other programs offer opportunities to sponsor a child, volunteer, help a special needs a child or give a child the gift of education. Education is one of the most important ways to get rid of poverty.  No amount of money or help will allow people to live securely and independently if they lack basic literacy skills.  By educating those who are mired in poverty, India is not only giving them access to a better life but improving the entire country.  A prosperous people inevitably produce a financially healthy nation.Another way you can help the poor in India would be to sponsor a child.  Sponsorship is offered by both religious and secular organizations and has proven an excellent way of supporting and educating a child whose parents can afford neither.  These programs usually require a small monthly donation that is used to give a child basic necessities such as shoes, food, medical care and school materials.  They often pool money from more than one sponsor for an individual child.  In turn, the sponsor will get a letter from the child at least once a year and receive photographs and updates on his or her progress.  The difference sponsorship makes is significant and often leads the entire family out of poverty.There are many other ways, of course, to help wipe out poverty.  Volunteer work at a school or orphanage is free to the giver and priceless to those that they help.  Simply reading to elementary  school children once a week can make a tremendous difference in their lives.  Helping to repair a school is another way offighting poverty.  Children that learn about the world around them often become involved in helping others as they grow, disrupting the vicious cycle that keeps many Indian citizens poor. Poverty is difficult to overcome, especially if it crosses generation after generation.  By working together and making both small and large improvements, the people of India can be free of this misery and break thecycle of poverty causes one million women and children to die each year and at least eighty million of the people go to bed hungry every night.

      A number of people both within India and abroad think India is a poor country. It is not. The bulk of India's people remain poor because we are not able to give basic education to our children, we are not able to impart skills to our young men and women, and we are not able to get productive work out of them. If we can get another 200 million to 300 million people to join the ranks of those engaged in productive activity, India's GDP will soar.

    The main causes of poverty are illiteracy, a population growth rate by far exceeding the economic growth rate for the better part of the past 50 years, protectionist policies pursued since 1947 to 1991 which prevented large amounts of foreign investment in the country.

      We know of the three scourges of humanity; war, disease, and poverty. We see those manifest in many forms today. And yet cannot we tally our recent accumulation of assets, such as the 500 million who have emerged out of poverty in India in the last twenty years. Or nearly a billion who have been set free into the new global market in China since the emergence of Deng; or the freedom of the world from nuclear annihilation, when Gorbachev saved our planet?

       If every Indian citizen chose to take full advantage of the enormous range of opportunities afforded by the current atmosphere of freedom -- to learn, teach, think, invent, produce and achieve all that he or she is capable of -- then poverty will soon be a thing of the past in this country. Eradication of poverty is a necessary achievement and the sooner the better.

GOD ????....

The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honourable, but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. No interpretation no matter how subtle can (for me) change this. — Albert Einstein

Friendship...

Forgetting friend is a
Crime
Ignoring them is a
Shame
Liking them is a
Pleasure
Thinking of them is a
Necessity

One More Day of My Life

Another day, another leaf from this life of mine, unwinds and flows past. Time moves on and so does the daily struggle for existence.
