Bullet Train VS Resuming Chennai

-

“A $15 billion train to run in India between Mumbai – Ahmedabad soon”, the news seems very interesting. This news shows how our new government is trying to get technology revolution in India. But will this train be of any help to the flood victims of Chennai? Will it benefit Chennai in any way? Answer, for sure, is NO! Chennai, which is badly affected by flood recently, needs to resume its earlier life soon. Many people have been affected and getting everything back on track seems very much difficult. Schools and colleges need to be resumed. Rehabilitation till the whole city comes back on track should be our main concern. Our government first needs to look into this matter more seriously than Bullet Trains and Smart Cities. We need to aid Chennai with every possible resource. Technological development can wait but life of a common man, whose house has been submerged in floods, cannot wait but to get repaired first. In India, we think of development on large scale but we forget that India’s development is in the development of its common man and the rural areas.

TRUST

“ Trust is like an eraser; it gets smaller and smaller with every mistake.” - Anon Well this quote surely defines trust completely. Have you ever wondered how we human beings have started doubting more and trusting less ? I came across this thought after I witnessed the following 2 incidents: Incident 1: Me and my family went for a drive to a small hill nearby. We were at the hilltop where there were very few people around.   While we were enjoying the small tunnel that passed through the hill and clicking some #nightlife pictures, we saw an old lady at a distance. Her presence was not much of a concern till the time she was away. The moment she started approaching us, a wave of panic crossed our minds. General human habits - when you see some stranger at night, you are prone to doubt their genuineness. She started speaking to us about something in a language quite alien to us! Because of her constant nagging and following us, we finally decided to le...

Lock down has literally shown us that “History repeats itself!” While we go back in time with Ramayan, Mahabharat, Shaktiman on TV and some good family time like we had in summer vacations, I thought why not go back in time and revise some mindful lessons learnt. In my article - A Step towards a Goal ( Click here ), I had mentioned about  Blue-Ribbon Movement  and its purpose.  Being a volunteer with them for two & a half year, I have surely met some great people, spoken about civic issues which every Mumbaikar faces everyday but refuses to acknowledge and learnt some valuable lessons which have helped me daily. With a beautiful format of activity-based learning , NSS – Community Connect Fellowship (CCF) involved us into the actual theme of connecting with and helping the community. Some activities involved learnings while doing our civic duties like below: 1. Finding civic problems and raising complaints to the BMC/NMMC/TMC/KDMC:...

College to Corporate

JOB – a really big achievement for an individual after their graduation. And the best way an Engineering grad can get his job is through the campus recruitment. Like many others, I too had a good fortune to get placed in an IT firm through my college campus recruitment and surely it was the best day ever.  Corporate life is what I was waiting for. The excitement to start a new phase as an IT professional was quite much more than one could expect. This new world stands in front of you, waiting to make you a part of it. The only things that you move along with are the values and principles your college has given you and the articles which inspire and educate you like “Do’s and Don’ts on first day of your job”. The college to corporate journey was thus to begin. My first day too was what I looked upon eagerly. How the culture would be? How much should I change to adapt to this professional life? etc. were the questions I was travelling with. And not much to my surprise I foun...
