A lesson to learn

With Detroit filing for bankruptcy, it is a lesson to learn. Uncontrolled investment and uncontrolled expenditure are the sure shot ways to bankruptcy.

Learn and make timely move to avoid this in India.

- Let investment be well monitored and in right place.
- Cut down expenditure
- Cut down wastage
- Avoid huge borrowing
- Manage resources well


Companies, cities and even countries have fallen. Let us all make efforts towards financially sound and stable India.

Stop killing innocent children

What can be more devastating for a country than to see its children suffering from malnourishment and dying due to poisonous meals. The kind of food served to children is alone sufficient to put entire country to shame.

All claims of being a great country sound insane.

Heated debates, arguments, blames, demonstrations. There are sudden angry reactions but nothing happens. There is no improvement. Be it agitation against corruption and rapes, disaster in Uttarakhand, flood in almost entire India, naxalism, malnutrition and mid day meal deaths etc. This can not solve the problems that our nation is facing. Mere making of new laws or punishing few people can not solve problems of such magnitude. This is the time when everyone, politicians, bureaucrats, activists, NGO's and general population must come together to create a better system. It is the efficiency and effectiveness of a system that works and improve conditions.

First step is to understand that it is about collective responsibility. Every citizen must contribute. Every citizen must become honest and sincere in approach towards work. A commitment towards nation must come from within and it should get reflected in our daily life.

Second step is to create and put in a system which works better in a result oriented manner. Citizens must be involved at every step to make sure it works efficiently and effectively.

Remember - To create a great nation, action is more important than anger.

Set your path carefully

Supreme Court's verdict to allow Dance Bars in Maharashtra will raise a debate. With due respect to highest court of the country, we all must carefully see which way we are going. And this debate must remain gender neutral because just like men can throw money on dancing girls, women will be seen throwing money on boys.

Few verdicts which we must think about:
1. This one on dance bars
2. Public display of affection
3. Cross gender massage

Now combine with current status.

Recently teenagers were caught from a pub being served alcohol and hukkah and possible sex as reported. The rising sex and vulgarity in movies, availability of sex on internet and phones etc. What is our path?

We are fighting with cases of rapes, sexual harassment and sexual exploitation. Inspite of recent Anti Rape bill, everyday we come across rapes and cases of sexual harassment. There is no stopping. No one has any clue, any answer to these. That is the result of mindset of society. Degradation has no limit and time will prove this.

One plea is that it is about basic right to work. Yes all citizens have right to work but when that was put in the constitution, those who did it must have never imagined that such kind of works will ever come into existence. It is for both law makers and society at large to decide what kind of society we wish to create? Tolerance does not mean to accept everything without understanding the implications. Is this the only way of employment? Is this the right way of entertainment? What kind of mindset we are going to create in society.

Tolerable should be tolerated just like love marriage and valentines day which pose no harm to society. But such things which are going to create a path of degradation must be opposed but through peaceful and legal manner.

No need to blindly follow other countries. Modern society is possible with decency and self discipline. We can set brighter example for others.

Peace will conquer terrorism

Sad and unfortunate. Terror strikes at Bodh Gaya.

All religions teach peace, kindness and compassion. This is even more true with Buddhism. India is fortunate to have followers of world's all religions. There may be incidents of disturbances but by and large people of India have lived together peacefully. People might have suffered but they have maintained the harmony and unity in society. This is the strongest message any country can give to the world. The message of peace and mutual coexistence through cooperation. All attempts of disrupting the spirit of India have always failed and will always fail. Through peace and kindness people of India have always defeated hatred, violence and terrorism. This is the truth and will remain.

PEACE WILL CONQUER TERRORISM

May God bless all with serenity and wisdom.
