Do we need a Revolution in India?


I don't know what we mean by revolution here!

I think the need of hour is a complete revamp of everything including our outlook towards everything. From Politics to corporate to entrepreneurs to self employed to job goers to job seekers to students to housewives to farmers everyone has to change!!!

There is no point in blaming a small section of the society.

The blood in politics and corporate of this country so much so corrupt that even their next generation cannot change it! Ambanis, Priyanka, Stalin for example! Am sure the moment they try that they are gone!

I believe the change should be systematic and a planned one to deliver with long term in mind. It can happen only slowly! In my view, the only way to do that is to educate people! Am sure everyone is capable of doing it!

+ If only am able to give education to 100 kids before I die, I think I have sowed the seeds!
+ If 10% each become IAS, IPS, Politicians, Doctors, Engineers, Govt employees, IFS, Farmers, Teachers and Advocates I think I have got the root.
+ Now these 100 do a 100 each that is the tree!
+ If those do a 100 each, the 3rd Generation from now will have the fruits and become seeds themselves!
+ If I become 10000 now, I think the fruits can be had in the 2nd generation itself!

But, these things have to be done at the right earnest! Be anonymous to those kids! Never expect any favors from them and that will set the right context! They will do so when they do a 100!

So the change is within us! Rather than expecting a Mahatma or a Nethaji, lets be the ones who make the difference! Look around you. You will find a lot of potential seeds!

Take ownership of the society that your Grand Children will live in and start sowing seeds!!!!

Stand up and Say I'm the change!

Appreciate Ladies in your Lives!

I really was really ashamed that I never did this . Not that it was intentional, but it was ignorance!
Please go back to your homes and just say thank you! Be it your wife or mom or sister!
Please read through some of the sacrifices a lady makes to just keep us happy!
- Raj

Here is a girl, who is as much educated as you are;
Who is earning almost as much as you do;

One, who has dreams and aspirations just as
you have because she is as human as you are;

One, who has never entered the kitchen in her life just like you or your
Sister haven't, as she was busy in studies and competing in a system
that gives no special concession to girls for their culinary achievements

One, who has lived and loved her parents & brothers & sisters, almost as
much as you do for 20-25 years of her life;

One, who has bravely agreed to leave behind all that, her home, people who love her, to adopt your home, your family, your ways and even your family ,name

One, who is somehow expected to be a master-chef from day #1, while you sleep oblivious to her predicament in her new circumstances, environment and that kitchen

One, who is expected to make the tea, first thing in the morning and cook
food at the end of the day, even if she is as tired as you are, maybe more,
and yet never ever expected to complain; to be a servant, a cook, a mother,
a wife, even if she doesn't want to; and is learning just like you are as
to what you want from her; and is clumsy and sloppy at times and knows that you won't like it if she is too demanding, or if she learns faster than you;

One, who has her own set of friends, and that includes boys and even men at her workplace too, those, who she knows from school days and yet is willing to put all that on the back-burners to avoid your irrational jealousy, unnecessary competition and your inherent insecurities;

Yes, she can drink and dance just as well as you can, but won't, simply
Because you won't like it, even though you say otherwise

One, who can be late from work once in a while
when deadlines, just like yours, are to be met;

One, who is doing her level best and wants to make this most important,
relationship in her entire life a grand success, if you just help her some
and trust her;

One, who just wants one thing from you, as you are the only one she knows in your entire house - your unstinted support, your sensitivities and most importantly - your understanding, or love, if you may call it.

But not many guys understand this......


Please appreciate "HER"
