Why do People Like Shortcut?

Posted by Phoenix on May 11, 2009 in Inspiration | 0 comments

 

I took this Picture a week ago when a guy was in a hurry and wanted to go to the other side of the road. Instead of waling just 100 meters for the crossing, he literally took a shortcut by crossing the divider.

Well,

By doing this, how much time did he actually save?

Maybe 60 seconds. it doesn’t make any difference in anyone’s life by saving 60 seconds by risking their life.

He was not the only one doing this, there were many, its a common things in Delhi, maybe everywhere in India or maybe everywhere in the World.

But risking life is not good.

If you are among those people, please stop this practice. If not, then ask people to stop who do it.

The Pursuit of Happiness

Posted by Phoenix on Mar 30, 2009 in Inspiration | 0 comments

Happiness is something which cannot be achieved, its just a feeling, its doesn’t stay for long.

people do so many things to get it.

Happiness has different meanings for different people.

Few find happiness in traveling,

few like sitting at home.

few think money will make them happy, but few people, who have got a lot of money,  are also searching for happiness.

I just watched a movie, which made me happy. just for a minute i was feeling the character, and I really felt his happiness.

The Movie has Will Smith in the Lead Role, where he is a Sales man who turns into a Stock Broker.

but the Journey of Chris Gardner is not easy as Christopher his son is also with him.

Delhi to Observe Earth Hour every month

Posted by Phoenix on Mar 29, 2009 in Inspiration | 0 comments

Delhi Government has proposed to hold Earth Hour, on last working day of every month, urging residents to switch off non essential lights to save power on the lines of the recently held global campaign. "The Earth Hour will continue. All lights in government buildings should be put off.

Earth is the planet where we all Human Beings live, this is our home. Earth Hour is a movement just to show that we care about our Home.

You don’t need to do much for it.

you just need to put your electric consuming stuff off. so just one hour, so that the earth could get some rest from Global Warming. Which is a very serious issue. 

28 March is the day and 8:30 to 9:30 PM is the time when the lights are turned off.

The date just passed and thousand of cities took part in it by switching off their lights,

I live in Delhi, India. and now Delhi Govt has announced it to make it a monthly activity. Its really nice to hear that at least all the Govt Institutes will be co-operating to make a difference.

What Does Success Mean to you?

Its a very Common Question you happen to answer,

It might be very easy to answer, because it does not have a definite answer to it.

you can say anything, it will be your opinion, because the question itself say what does it mean to you.

It might mean nothing to you, or it might mean Living Happily with lots and lots of money.

Success Does not mean having a lot of money in your life.

According to me, success is a state of satisfaction.

you are a millionaire, and you are not satisfied with your life or what you have got, your are not a successful person.

Dreams should not be merely there

Posted by Phoenix on May 10, 2008 in Inspiration | 0 comments

We all love to dream. And definitely being optimistic sometime catapult someone to a coveted status. Great Poet Rabindranath Tagore said that whatever one will think that definitely will happen. And I also accept this fact that to achieve something one always needs a starting point. And it doesn’t come merely as it is there. We can call the dream that starting point. But how you will carry it to the next level that’s very much dependent on the ground you made up in the past.

Management Guru C K Prahlad addressing over 700 members of the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) at a conference dreamt of India at 75. According to him, India in 2022 will have 30 firms in the Fortune 100, produce 10 Noble laureates, have the largest pool of trained manpower and corner 10 percent of the world trade.

No as a starting point I would sure like to praise him for the dream he cherished. But I really feel with their blurred vision of India sometime our elite classes like to satisfy their ego. To be a world leader in 2022 means to be allot, shouldering the responsibilities as a world leader too. I don’t believe India as a transparent democracy which has a shameful record of human development index till now. In a country which will be counted as world leader the rule of law and democratic values must prevail. Whereas till now we are yet to deliver justice to state sponsored riots in past, human rights violation in Kashmir being questioned every time. Indian economy has done well in the recent years but it just created more millionaires and could not benefit the populace. More than 800 million of Indian people forced to leave on less than a dollar disgracefully points that the rich-poor divide is going to be very high in 2022. Cases of food riots already reported at some places in India last year. Which world leader we are talking of when the Govt. cant even stop farmer suicides in the regions of Vidarbha. A country where religious bigots given much more importance than to let logic triumph over the petty beliefs cant show the world a new way.

India is not only the tale of few cities and the change happening there. From Kashmir to Kanyakumarika and from Arunachal to Gujarat, every nook and corner one day will have to speak about its success in all the fronts. Yes things can change. But before that let be the change.
