IN INDIA ITS EARTH HOUR EVERYDAY

A few days ago there was this really huge hype all around the world about the Earth Hour, and the same hype reached to India as well. Pretty much everyday before the Earth Hour day, there would be something in the newspapers about it. Few big companies decided to celebrate the occasion at their India centers, also there were few people who happily wanted to be part of it, but overall the response to it was null. The reason was very simple- Earth Hour is of relevance to only those countries where there is 24x7 power supplies, in countries like India where people almost everyday celebrate Earth Hours, it really doesn’t make sense.

A thought provokes a new thought, and I got this pitiful thought on the day of Earth Hour. In India, the infrastructure is yet so far away from the basic needs of common man that 24x7 power supply is still a big dream. As per the experts there is 22% power shortage on average in India during the peak hours between 5pm and 11pm, and it is anticipated that the number could be higher. Anyway, I m sure the figures don’t show the real picture because there are still so many places in India where there is no electricity et al. People will survive in dark using candles etc, children will study in candle lights, the condition is so bad.

The government has yet not taken severe steps to improve anything, and the best answer they came up was- the situation will improve only after the onset of the monsoon rains. I just wonder we make a huge fuss about the GDP growth of 9% annually, we make a huge fuss about the hot job market, we create unwanted violence for religious and caste issue, but there is nothing done to improve the basic needs at grass-root level. The infrastructure especially the power infrastructure is so pathetic that even after paying so much money in taxes to government nothing has been done. India’s track record in adding power generating capacity is poor- in the last 5 years, the country has just added 20,550MW of capacity, against a target of 42,000MW.

It’s high team, we all focus on the basic needs first, otherwise just imagine what will be the use of buying air conditioners when there is no power to turn them on. Let’s do our bit first, let’s conserve and preserve by using the electricity efficiently. Let each one of us spread the awareness about it, let invent and discover various sources of energy that can make our future better. Let’s do it now !!

SECRET BEHIND MY BLOG'S BLACK THEME

Many of you have liked the "Black Theme" and the "Black Background" of my blog, but few of you have also suggested me to change it to any bright colored background. Well, finally I have decided  to share the secret behind my 'Black' ideology. On the other note, I m glad that all my readers take so much interest in my blog that not only they have shared their views about the content on my blog but also they have given their feedbacks about the whole look and feel of the web page, and I must confess, the response and the involvement has taken me by surprise but of course, this is incredible and I'm loving it :). Thank You All- for pouring your ideas and your unique views on my very own small web-space.

Now coming to the revelation of my black ideology, I'm a person who likes black color, though I'm not really sure when my La Affair flourished with it but I have always liked whatever black stuff I owned, such as my black point pen, my black t-shirt, my shoes, my black tie, my black blazer and etc etc. So, it was quite obvious that my web-page would look no different than my black t-shirt :).

The second most important reason why I fell for the black background was the comfort of reading, which I enjoyed with the white text on the black background. Moreover, I have my very own philosophy, which also gives me a strong reason to persist with the black background with white texts. The philosophy is-  "In the dark world I want to spread the light using my bright white colored words". I'm a passionate writer, and I believe when I write my intent is very pure. The color white is a symbol of peace and purity, deriving the same are my words in my texts. The white text color represents my pure intent and the peace I pursue by following my passion for writing.

The third reason is a technically driven outcome, which I realize is very useful. A technical study has shown that an all white web page uses about 74 watts to display, while an all black page uses only 59 watts. Of course, the study results are more effective on CRT monitors than on TFT or LCD monitors, but taking into account that 35% of the market share is still with the normal CRT monitors it is still an important factor to be considered. So, I have done my best by using the black background in an effort to save whatever little power I could save.

So, those were the reasons why I have an all black theme on my blog. Hopefully, it might have made some sense but if you still have some suggestions regarding it then you are most welcome.

KARMA is taking a step forward…..

All across the globe be it US, be it UK, be it India or be it Australia, there is one thing which is common all around called PEOPLE. But among these people there is a set of extraordinary people whom we call as the SUCCESSFUL ones.

It is a well acclaimed fact that this lot of people whom we call as Successful are the people who are famous, remembered, unique or among the richest of all in the world. This is quite an unsurprising fact that every human being on this earth wants to be part of this elite group of people. In process to achieve it, everybody is doing their bit of things called KARMA. But yet, only a few of them are able to nominate themselves for being the part of this extraordinary league of people and yet very few among them are the winners to enter in the most wanted elite group. Why everybody whosoever is doing KARMA is not successful?

Why is the service class men working everyday is not successful? Why is the farmer yielding the land everyday is not rich? Why a teacher teaching in school is not among the famous people? Well, everybody is doing their KARMA, why they aren’t the successful ones or the richer ones or among the famous people in this world? What is the thing which is stopping them?

Yes, all of us know one thing from our holy books which says “KARM KIYA JA, PHAL KI CHINTA MAT KAR” means as a human being we should keep on doing our karma without thinking of its results. But do we really know the exact meaning of it. Does that mean a labor who is working day and night for his earning, should keep on doing it? Will that make him rich any day? Well the answer to this simple question is only “NO”, this will never going to happen.

We are mistaken in understanding the real meaning of KARMA. KARMA certainly does not mean just doing it but the real meaning is to do it a bit more than what we are currently doing. KARMA is to take a step forward in our lives and to do a thing which will make us a better person what we are today. KARMA is to understand our weaknesses and to work towards improving it for the betterment. KARMA is working out things to make our dreams come true!!!

Once we know the correct KARMA which we need to perform, we need not worry about the results and it only becomes a matter of time when our KARMA pays off. Now this is a situation when the holy lines saying “KARM KIYA JA, PHAL KI CHINTA MAT KAR” should be remembered with the feeling of honesty and grief. Let our KARMA move our life forward in the correct direction of our goal of life.
