The Need to be Different

           A country which is supposed to be a developing country since 1950 should be a developed one by now. Or atleast it should not be like how our country looks right now. No matter how hard we think we could never find a concrete reason to convince ourselves. I observed a thing about our people that could possibly be a reason why we are not developing in a average pace. We never try to be different. Less travelled paths scare us. We never go for adventures. We would go for a tour that is pre planned and well scheduled rather than to go on a adventure even if the former costs too much. We are never ready to come out of our comfort zone.
           We see a successful man and believe his path is the only path to success and we try to follow it ignoring the other billion ways to succeed. People here have good bank balance but hesitant to invest it in a business just because of the fear of loosing it. Our country's development relies hugely on this unused wealth that people put behind their name.
            We see successful people from the west. Admire them. No offence in that. But offence begins when we try to follow them. We copy their attires. People must understand that their attires didnt give them sucsess, their language didnt but their work did.
               "UNIQUE" is a word i love and its really pity that i'm  unable to use it when i talk about my country. There is no rule that we should take only an already travelled path. When u feel an alternate better route is available, never hesitate to take it. If u didnt try how will you be able to find the best one.  Success is not something that we get only by following someone's path. Have a vision. Become broad minded. Work with conciousness. Success will give you a date then.

We care for our people


Sub Urban trains in chennai, the place where u will find all kinds of beggars. Within a 10 minute travel u are assured to see atleast one of them. Where else in this world you would see a monkey do this!!



    What goes through your mind when you see one such beggar. I find it very tough to express that feel. May be there is no apt word in any of the languages to describe that feeling. A tinge of anger mixed with pitiness. Recently saw a lady begging. Well that's no surprise. But the surprising part is that she could read tamil literature very well.
   Before giving money to them i used to think "what if this small coins that i give satisfy them and they remain beggars all throughout". So more often i decide not to encourage them. Well, we all know pain killers doesn't cure anything. Antibiotics do.
  It would be hard to blame them for their pathetic condition. There should be a wayout for them. For a goverment that spends crores for welcoming the prime minister from neighbouring country this shouldn't be a big deal. To start camps, where these people could be brought to, made to work, provided with food. Can't just say it is goverment's duty and then shift our focus. May be our goverment is too busy welcoming visitors, justifying their crimes. So here falls a duty on us to remind our goverment about what they are here for. Serve People...
