WORLDS IS GETTING APPREHENSIVE ABOUT INDIA


FEW POWERFUL LINES SHOWING STRENGTH OF INDIA AND WORLD LEADERS APPREHENSIONS ABOUT INDIA AND ITS GROWING POWER......


Thomas Friedman in the New York Times :


'When we were young kids growing up in America, we were told to eat our vegetables at dinner and not leave them. Mothers said, think of the starving children in India and finish the dinner.'



And now I tell my children:



'Finish your homework. Think of the children in India who will make you starve, if you don't.

LIFE IS TOO LIVE .................NOT TO HATE

Hi...i have a question for all of you.

What is the point of:

Having grudges!
Keeping your emotions to yourself!
Fighting with your loved ones!
Not doing what you want to!
Living for the future!

Confused???

A few days back while coming back home in the middle of the night i got stuck in a small jam.
A crane was moving a long iron girder on the road causing the traffic to come to a halt...
and then all of a sudden the crane fell...just simply toppled.
The crane fell on a few cars at the front.
The occupants of 2 cars, entire families, had a very narrow escape.
But the long extended arm of the crane fell on top of a third car, infact right on top of the driver on the wheels.

Over the next 2 hours we tried hard to get the driver out by trying to lift the crane,
but 50 odd men were no match for the heavy crane.
It was only after the fire fighters came with their equipment that the man was taken out of the car.
But by that time he wasnt a living, breathing, thinking man anymore, it was just the body of a man!!!
A man who was once a son, a brother,
a man who once had desires, a man who once had ambitions,
a man who above all was once a human being....just like us!!

He was alive one second, planning his next moves in life, planning to say or do things the next day for his loved ones, and the very next second all his desires, ambitions, hopes, aspirations, emotions et all were crushed....literally!!!!!!
Everyday i still think about and my thoughts go out for the 29 year old or i should say 29 year "young" guy returning home after work....
but this mail is for you people...
people who are my friends, people i work with, live with, party with, people i know and care about and would like to make a difference in whose life...IF I CAN.

So take a moment here with me.

Now i ask once again..what is the point of:

Having grudges or running hate games or campaigns.
Fighting with your loved ones over petty, trivial or ego issues.
Keeping your emotions to yourself....not expressing your love, true feelings etc to your near and dear ones...or not being there for them...everyday!!!
Not doing what you want or have always wanted to do.
Living only for the future.


Life is unpredictable.
We never know when whose time will be up....
So try and answer those questions and any other which may come to you individually and change, improve or do whatever you deem right.
Just remember...there is only one truth...

"Life is...right here...right now...live it in this very moment...tomorrow may never come.
