Road safety

It can be seen as accident or bad driving. But in the end this is another disaster that has taken 45 precious lives including infants. No one should say that yes sad but what can be done it was accident.

Behind every accident is negligence. Accidents can be avoided if we adopt safety measures:

- Better roads, make sure there are no holes, obstructions, unnecessary dividers, stones or other things lying on roads.
- Stronger traffic rules, no parking or standing on roads especially highways. Vigilance during night and early hours to check high speed.
- Better and clearer instructions and warnings on roads
- Better drivers by having stricter driving license testing especially for public transport
- Easy emergency doors and windows not to be auto locked by central locking.
- Fire extinguishers within range of every seat

Too many lives have been lost in such tragic accidents. Make a commitment today that you will never drive unsafe and also will not allow others including drivers of public transport to drive unsafe. Late by few minutes or even hours is better than never.

Dig for real gold

Some people in India are digging for gold. No harm, if they find it might help country a bit. The harm is not in digging but in not digging where it is required. The harm is in attitude which is too much money oriented and that too 'finding' money not earning it.

Look at the world. There are examples of countries which ruled the world and looted but even then they do not stand anywhere. On the other hand there are countries which are not blessed with resources but they have worked hard and used brain to 'create' wealth not only once but they rise from disaster every time within no time.

The problem is attitude. Every citizen of India is worth 1000 times more than 1000 tonnes of gold. But you need to dig. Nurture the citizens with nutritious food, quality education and healthcare and then dig. The brilliant brains from India can create wealth which can be enormous.

There is no digging yet in the research mine. The new patent products can create more gold than present on earth. There is no digging yet on knowledge mine. Our universities do not rank high in world. There is no digging yet in industrialization. We are not selling products around the world. There is no digging yet in creativity. Our books, movies, music can earn more money that this gold. There is no digging yet in sports which can earn gold medals more worth than this gold. There is no digging yet in tourism which alone can wipe out poverty from India.

Why should we get crazy about 'found' money? Let it remain inside. Let us dig deep inside ourself to get the real gold from within - the gold of humanity, the gold of wisdom, the gold of excellence, the gold of industriousness, the gold of love - THE GOLD OF REAL INDIA.

Let us dig deep.

Need for collective wisdom

Last one year has seen substantial change in India and Indian democracy. Going through agitations, court orders and public opinion, India could gain following major steps towards a better democracy and a better society:

- New law against Crime Against Women
- Right to Reject in elections
- Right to Food
- Supreme Court order on Representation of the People Act

And when on 2nd October, the ordinance and the bill to counter Supreme Court order was taken back, it came as a great victory of India and the People of India. There could not have been a greater homage to Mahatma Gandhi on this special day.

Congratulations India !!!

It is required now that all wise and mature people from all sections of society to come together and develop a comprehensive development program for Modern India. The Modern India can not take birth in conflicts and chaos. The minds and hearts in India must work in sync. There is need of collective wisdom to create:

- Vision and Mission of Modern India
- Set with firmness the goals and path
- Nurture cohesiveness and spirit
- Identify urgent and long term needs
- Identify strengths and weaknesses
- Assess and manage resources
- Design and develop effective workable plans
- Promote cooperation in place of conflicts
- Evaluate at regular intervals to assess real progress and required amendments

Since ages India is known for wisdom. It is high time we realize our real wealth, the wisdom to create a Modern Glorified India.
