Live it......Write it!

“ 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...

Friendship..... A bond which is all about love, acceptance, selflessness. Its not just passing time and having fun; its more about standing by each other's side in every phase of life and being transparent on everything that you do and say!! It is a beautiful bond which two people on this earth can share, or should I say not just between people but between a person and anything which he cannot live without? Mumbaikars and Local trains  surely represent a great friendship which is since ages!!   But what made me realise this amazing connection is my journey back home from office, when i saw a friendship band tied to the window of the train!!! At first, I found just one  and clicked a picture but den i realised there were 2 more on the same window!! A band for years of bond! Truly the importance of local trains in life of a Mumbaikar is unmatched......and surely on this friendship day we cannot forget this old friend of ours who has served our gener...

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...

“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 tha...

       Kashmir, a dream destination for many. To see the beautiful valleys, snow clad mountains, the nature’s beauty, etc. Etc. Etc. But do we really understand why Kashmir is still the same from past so many decades? The population in Kashmir (which is in Indian boundaries) is around 7 million (Kashmir valley + Jammu), it has the most tourists, domestic as well as foreigners, throughout the year but still the state has preserved its beauty. How? Many cities including the major metropolitan cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Calcutta, Chennai, etc. have lost their beauty since decades due to rising population and tourism. Why can’t these cities be preserved as Kashmir is? Do people really take care of Kashmir because it is called ‘Heaven on Earth’? Or is it the military power which compels every person going there to be sure to behave well, to keep the city clean? I don’t think these are strong reasons, it’s the people’s mentality which saves the Paradise on Earth...

                How does a journey start.....by just thinking over it? NO! It starts when we take our first step towards it. Milestones can be achieved, every goal can be accomplished.....but take that first step, start working towards it and you will see miracles happening. You will see things will work out as per your will.....suddenly you will find time in your busy schedule, you’ll get support from every person around & this Universe will make it happen.                 Such a step, of seeing Mumbai become Shanghai, has been taken. An organization called Blue Ribbon Movement(BRM) , along with Praja – a NGO and Mumbai First ,  has started a project called  1916 – A Super Hero . It involves NSS volunteers of various colleges across Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, Thane, etc. The aim of the project is to promote 1916 – A Centralized Complaint Registration Numb...
