Slow Dance

This is a poem written by a teenager with cancer.

She wants to see how many people get her poem.

It is quite the poem. Please pass it on.


This poem was written by a terminally ill young girl in a New York Hospital

Make sure to read what is in the closing statement AFTER THE POEM.


         SLOW DANCE


Have you ever watched kids
On a merry-go-round?
Or listened to the rain
Slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?
You better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.
Do you run through each day
On the fly?
When you ask How are you?
Do you hear the reply?
When the day is done
Do you lie in your bed
With the next hundred chores
Running through your head?
You'd better slow down
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.
Ever told your child,
We'll do it tomorrow?
And in your haste,
Not see his sorrow?
Ever lost touch,
Let a good friendship die
Cause you never had time
To call and say, 'Hi'
You'd better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.
When you run so fast to get somewhere
You miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry through your day,
It is like an unopened gift....
Thrown away.
Life is not a race.
Do take it slower
Hear the music
Before the song is over.

I'm sending this to very few

A few days ago, some one wished me "Happy Poojas".

 

I didn't understand and asked her,"'What do you mean by that?"

 

"What do you mean 'what do you mean by that?'"

With all caution not to hurt her I asked, "What do you mean by "Happy Poojas""

 

Her reply was simple "I don't know. If its navratri, you wish people like this. Isn't it?" and she left without waiting for a response.

 

Its interesting, I thought.

In a way, what she said was true.

If New year, you wish people, Happy New Year.

If Birthday, Happy Birthday.

If Marriage Anniversary, Happy Marriage day/x/y/z....

 

Good. I don't have any complaints.

But why to use the same format for a cultural celebration?

If its Eed (Id), we wish people Eed Mubharak - probably none of those reading this know the real meaning of this.

If Christmas, its Merry Christmas (Though the Bible mentions Christ's birth on march, we still don't have complaints either celebrating or wishing)

 

I don't have any complaints or am expressing any views about the above mentioned. But, the followers of the respective religions follow their protocol right. Why are we not so? Are we indifferent to the fact that we are today's living oldest culture?

Or are we ignorant about the right way of wishing people as how it should be?

 

In a few days, we are to celebrate a very old fesival Diwali/Deepavali. Is an exchange of Happy Diwali ok or should we say something else?

 

People who are still attached to the living roots know what and how the wish is to be.

 

On the day of Diwali, before sunrise, The Holiest River Ganga (The same river whose holy water was used to consecrate the US Parliament house's yearly beginning earlier this year.) is considered to be present in the water which we use to take bath (before sunrise.)

This is supposed to take place in a proper way-

 

• Wake up atleast 90 minutes before sunrise,
• Pray to Sun, Kuladevata, Ishtadevata, the elders in your family(alive/dead) and your parents
• Anoit oil in your head
• May the lady in your family or your mother pray and bless you for the Ganga Snaan and
• Have an oil bath (Though my friend suggest Head&Shoulder, I prefer Arappu and Shikakai)

And then, ask people if they have had "Ganga Snaan"

Ganga Snaanam Aaiducha?

Ganga Snaanam Aiyindha?

Ganga Snaanam Aayo? (Correction needed)

Ganga Snaana Aaithaa?

Ganga Snaan Ho Gaya?

Ganga Snaan Thai Gyu?

Have you had the Holy Ganga Bath?

 

This is a very small step which shall reconnect you with our culture - OUR culture.

 

I'm sending this to very very sensible people in my mail list - whom I respect.

 

If you are going to wish people "Have you had the Holy Ganga Bath?", then just say a Hi in the blog www.gangainbucket.blogspot.com

 

My way is the way of Truth,

My way is the way of Vedas,

My way is the way of Justice

 

May Indra always be victorious.

 

May God Be With You,

Baladheepak AC

Race

Nobel scientist snubbed after racism claims

By Stephen Adams

Last Updated: 3:01am BST 20/10/2007

The Science Museum last night cancelled a talk by Nobel Prize winning scientist Dr James Watson after he was accused of making "racist" comments implying Africans were not as intelligent as whites.   Dr Watson is no stranger to controversy DNA pioneer Dr Watson, who discovered the double helix with Briton Francis Crick, has been roundly condemned for saying he was "inherently gloomy about the prospect of Africa" because "all our social policies are based on the fact that their intelligence is the same as ours – whereas all the testing says not really". The 79-year-old American was due to talk at the Science Museum's Dana Centre on Friday but last night a spokesman said Dr Watson's comments had gone "beyond the point of acceptable debate" He announced the Musuem was cancelling the sold-out talk as a result. On Tuesday night the Dana Centre had coincidentally hosted a debate entitled "Scientific Racism: A history". advertisement Dr Watson, who flew into Britain to promote a new book, has also provoked uproar by saying the assumption that different racial groups shared "equal powers of reason" was backed by "no firm reason". His comments have been fiercely attacked by fellow scientists, anti-racism campaigners and politicians. Neourobiologist Prof Steven Rose of the Open University, a founder member of the Society for Social Responsibility in Science, said such "racist" comments were also "genetic nonsense". "He should recognise that statements of this sort have racist functions and are to be deeply, deeply regretted," he said. "Making statements of that sort is certainly a great day for the British National Party but it's a sad day for scientists and racial harmony." Dr Watson has courted controversy before, saying darker-skinned people have a higher sex drive and that women should hypothetically have the right to abort fetuses that "may have a tendency to become homosexual". He has also backed genetic screening. Prof Stevens thought the 79-year-old American was stirring up trouble to raise publicity for his new book, entitled 'Avoid Boring People'. He said: "He doesn't need to do it. He had a distinguished reputation as a molecular biologist and he should keep out of areas in which he is not well qualified." No evidence that claimed to find people of African descent were less intelligent than Europeans or other racial groups had stood up to scientific scrutiny, he stressed. Koku Adomdza, director of the black equality pressure group The 1990 Trust, labelled Dr Watson a "complete dinosaur" and pressed him to apologise to "Africa and all people of African origin". He said: "Dr Watson is really a relic of the oldest stock and deserves to be made to account for his extremely offensive and ignorant remarks. "His very poisonously racist opinions put students and the unsuspecting public at serious risk." Keith Vaz, the Labour chairman of the Home Affairs Select Committee, commented: "It is sad to see a scientist of such achievement making such baseless, unscientific and extremely offensive comments. I am sure the scientific community will roundly reject what appear to be Dr Watson's personal prejudices. "These comments serve as a reminder of the attitudes which can still exists at the highest professional levels." The Equality and Human Rights Commission, successor to the Commission for Racial Equality, said it was considering Dr Watson's remarks "in full". The comments by Dr Watson, who was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1962 together with Britons Francis Crick and Maurice Wilkins, were first made in The Sunday Times. Dr Watson was also quoted as saying that while he hoped all races were equal, "people who have to deal with black employees find this not true". He wrote that "there is no firm reason to anticipate that the intellectual capacities of peoples geographically separated in their evolution should prove to have evolved identically. "Our wanting to reserve equal powers of reason as some universal heritage of humanity will not be enough to make it so." However, he said people should not discriminate racially, because "there are many people of colour who are very talented". He said he thought it would be 10 to 15 years before the genes for intelligence were identified. Despite the fierce barracking received by those who have put forward the theory of a racial basis for intellectual difference, the idea has refused to die. IQ testing has consistently shown that racial groups perform differently, say advocates. In 1994 the publication of Richard Hernnstein and Charles Murray's book The Bell Curve, that put forward evidence for the theory, caused a huge storm. In March last year Leeds lecturer Dr Frank Ellis caused a furore when he said he found such evidence "extremely convincing". He refused to withdraw his comments, prompting a wider argument over freedom of academic thought. He resigned that July. And last November Satoshi Kanazawa, an evolutionary psychologist at the London School of Economics, published a paper claiming African states were poor because their populations were less intelligent than Europeans and Asians. Dr Kanazawa refused to comment on Dr Watson's thoughts yesterday. Both sides agree there is far more variation in intelligence and genetics within racial groups than between them. However, opponents argue IQ tests are culturally biased and say lower average scores among blacks can also be explained by social rather than genetic factors.

 

 

Rain

 

From : Poonam

One more mail from Poonam.

I find the article she sends interesting. Probably because I connect the attitude of people with what is done by them.

I should say, She must be very interesting.

 

The Rain-Thomas Kincaid

Stop at the picture for a second, and watch the Rain... then read on...

One rainy afternoon I was driving along one of the main streets of town, taking those extra precautions necessary when the roads are wet and slick.

Suddenly, my daughter, Aspen, spoke up from her relaxed position in her seat. 'Dad, I'm thinking of something.'

This announcement usually meant she had been pondering some fact for a while, and was now ready to expound all that her six-year-old mind had discovered. I was eager to hear.  'What are you thinking?' I asked.

'The rain!' she began, 'is like sin, and the windshield wipers are like God wiping our sins away.'

After the chill b umps r aced up my arms I was able to respond. 'That's really good, Aspen.'

Then my curiosity broke in. How far would this little girl take this revelation? So I asked....

'Do you notice how the rain keeps on coming? What does that tell you?'

Aspen didn't hesitate one moment with her answer: 'We keep on sinning, and God just keeps on forgiving us.'

I will always remember this whenever I turn my wipers on.

In order to see the Rainbow, you must first endure some Rain.  Hope the water flows when you get the picture.

READ THE FIRST LINE CAREFULLY.

If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.

Happy moments, praise God.

Difficult moments, seek God.

Quiet moments, worship God.
Painful moments, trust God.

Every moment, thank God.

This is a Thomas Kincaid painting. It's rumored to carry a miracle!

The water is supposed to be running, so if it's not moving then the picture didn't come through entirely.

They say if you pass this on, you will receive a miracle.

Although, I am passing this on because I thought its really pretty.......

 

AN INSPIRATIONAL STORY

From: sandeep chandra 

I think we met for a very brief time - 10 minutes ??

We spoke very little - a compliment from him about my mimicry and my thanking him - - That's all ???

 

Oh!! Its a briefer meeting than what I thought.

Well, I met Sandeep in Kandy - in a training program which was organised by his mother.

I receive some good mails from him from time to time. This is one of the best what I have received from any of my friends.

 

 

At a fundraising dinner for a school that serves learning-disabled children, the father of one of the students delivered a speech that would never be forgotten by all who attended. After extolling the school and its dedicated staff, he offered a question: "When not interfered with by outside influences, everything nature does is done with perfection. Yet my son, Shay, cannot learn things as other children do. He cannot understand things as other children do. Where is the natural order of things in my son?"

The audience was stilled by the query.

The father continued. "I believe that when a child like Shay, physically and mentally handicapped comes into the world, an opportunity to realize true human nature presents itself, and it comes in the way other people treat that child."

Then he told the following story:

Shay and his father had walked past a park where some boys Shay knew were playing baseball. Shay asked, "Do you think they'll let me play?" Shay's father knew that most of the boys would not want someone like Shay on their team, but the father also understood that if his son were allowed to play, it would give him a much-needed sense of belonging and some confidence to be accepted by others in spite of his handicaps.

Shay's father approached one of the boys on the field and asked (not expecting much) if Shay could play. The boy looked around for guidance and said, "We're losing by six runs and the game is in the eighth inning. I guess he can be on our team and we'll try to put him in to bat in the ninth inning."

Shay struggled over to the team's bench and, with a broad smile, put on a team shirt. His Father watched with a small tear in his eye and warmth in his heart. The boys saw the father's joy at his son being accepted. In the bottom of the eighth inning, Shay's team scored a few runs but was still behind by three. In the top of the ninth inning, Sha y put on a glove and played in the right field. Even though no hits came his way, he was obviously ecstatic just to be in the game and on the field, grinning from ear to ear as his father waved to him from the stands. In the bottom of the ninth inning, Shay's team scored again. Now, with two outs and the bases loaded, the potential winning run was on base and Shay was scheduled to be next at bat.

At this juncture, do they let Shay bat and give away their chance to win the game? Surprisingly, Shay was given the bat. Everyone knew that a hit was all but impossible because Shay didn't even know how to hold the bat properly, much less connect with the ball.

However, as Shay stepped up to the plate, the pitcher, recognizing that the other team was putting winning aside for this moment in Shay's life, moved in a few steps to lob the ball in softly so Shay could at least make contact. The first pitch came and Shay swung clumsily and missed. The pitcher again took a few steps forward to toss the ball softly towards Shay. As the pitch came in, Shay swung at the ball and hit a slow ground ball right back to the pitcher.

The game would now be over. The pitcher picked up the soft grounder and could have easily thrown the ball to the first baseman. Shay would have been out and that would have been the end of the game.

Instead, the pitcher threw the ball right over t he first baseman's head, out of reach of all team mates. Everyone from the stands and both teams started yelling, "Shay, run to first! Run to first!" Never in his life had Shay ever run that far, but he made it to first base. He scampered down the baseline, wide-eyed and startled.

Everyone yelled, "Run to second, run to second!" Catching his breath, Shay awkwardly ran towards second, gleaming and struggling to make it to the base. By the time Shay rounded towards second base, the right fielder had the ball ... the smallest guy on their team who now had his first chance to be the hero for his team. He could have thrown the ball to the second-baseman for the tag, but he understood the pitcher's intentions so he, too, intentionally threw the ball high and far over the third-baseman's head. Shay ran toward third base deliriously as the runners ahead of him circled the bases toward home.

All were screaming,
"Shay, Shay, Shay, all the Way Shay"

Shay reached third base because the opposing shortstop ran to help him by turning him in the direction of third base, and shouted, "Run to third! Shay, run to third!"

As Shay rounded third, the boys from both teams, and the spectators, were on their feet screaming, "Shay, run home! Run home!" Shay ran to home, stepped on the plate, and was cheered as the hero who hit the grand slam and won the game for his team.

"That day", said the father softly with tears now rolling down his face, "the boys from both teams helped bring a piece of true love and humanity into t his world".

Shay didn't make it to another summer. He died that winter, having never forgotten being the hero and making his father so happy, and coming home and seeing his Mother tearfully embrace her little hero of the day!

AND NOW A LITTLE FOOTNOTE TO THIS STORY: We all send thousands of
jokes through the e-mail without a second thought, but when it comes to sending messages about life choices, people hesitate. The crude, vulgar, and often obscene pass freely through cyberspace, but public discussion about decency is too often suppressed in our schools and workplaces.

If you're thinking about forwarding this message, chances are that you're probably sorting out the people in your address book who aren't the "appropriate" ones to receive this type of message. Well, the person who sent you this believes that we all can make a difference. We all have thousands of opportunities every single day to help realize the "natural order of things." So many seemingly trivial interactions between two people present us with a choice: Do we pass along a little spark of love and humanity or do we pass up those opportunities and leave the world a little bit colder in the process?

A wise man once said every society is judged by how it treats it's least fortunate amongst them.

Five minutes

please spend 5 minutes............it's a humble request

Dear Sir/Madam ,

SPARE 5-MINUTES from ur busy schedule .PLEASE !!!

Lt. Saurabh Kalia of 4 JAT Regiment of the Indian Army laid down his
life at the young age of 22 for the nation while guarding the
frontiers at Kargil.
His parents, indeed the Indian Army and nation itself,
lost a dedicated, honest and brave son.
He was the first officer to detect and inform about
Pakistani intrusion. Pakistan captured him and his patrol party of 5
brave men alive on May 15, 1999 from the Indian side of LOC.
They were kept in captivity for three weeks and
subjected to unprecedented brutal torture, evident from their bodies handed over
by Pakistan Army on June 9, 1999.
The Pakistanis indulged in dastardly acts of inflicting burns on these Indian officers with cigarettes, piercing their ears with hot rods, removing their eyes before puncturing them and breaking most of the bones and teeth.
They even chopped off various limbs and private organs of the Indian soldiers besides inflicting unimaginable physical and mental torture.

After 22 days of torture, the brave soldiers were ultimately shot dead. A detailed post-mortem report is with the Indian Army. Pakistan dared to humiliate India this way flouting all international norms.
They proved the extent to which they can degrade humanity. However, the Indian soldiers did not break while undergoing all this unimaginable barbarism, which speaks volumes of their patriotism, grit, determination, tenacity and valour - something all of India should be proud of.
Sacrificing oneself for the nation is an honour every soldier would be proud of, but no parent, army or nation can accept what happened to these brave sons of India. I am afraid every parent may think twice to send their child in the armed forces if we all fall short of our duty in safeguarding the PRISONERS OF WAR AND LET THEM MEET THE FATE OF LT.SAURABH KALIA.
It may also send a demoralising signal to the army personnel fighting for the Nation that our POWs in Pak cannot be taken care of. It is a matter of shame and disgust that most of Indian Human Rights Organisations by and large, showed apathy in this matter.

Through this humble submission, may I appeal to all the civilized people irrespective of colour, caste, region, religion and political lineage to stir their conscience and rise to take this as a NATIONAL ISSUE !!!
International Human Rights Organizations must be approached to expose and pressure Pakistan to identify, book and punish all those who perpetrated this heinous crime to our men in uniform.
If Pakistan is allowed to go unpunished in this case, we can only imagine the consequences.
Below is the list of 5 other soldiers who preferred to die for the country rather than open their mouths in front of enemy -

New name in the list? Its my dad. He is one person whom I know in my life who has been onstantly updating with the technology. I remember him bringing home a palm top computer - 17 years ago. Yes, in 1989, he had a palm top which was BASIC programming capable and a wonderful instrument.

He is net friendly in the recent past but friendly with every living thing for the past 60 years of his life.

He is one person whom I love the most.

=====================

 

LEPTOSPIROSIS (PLEASE READ)

This incident happened recently in North Texas . A woman went boating one Sunday taking with her some cans of coke which she put into the refrigerator of the boat. On Monday she was taken to the hospital and placed in ICU. She died on Wednesday. The autopsy concluded that she died because of Leptospirosis. This was traced to the can of coke that she drank without using a glass. Tests showed that the can was infected by dried rat urine and hence the disease Leptospirosis.

Rat urine contains toxic and deathly substances. It is highly recommended to thoroughly wash the upper part of soda/coke cans before drinking. These cans are typically stocked in warehouses and transported straight to the shops without being cleaned.

A study at NYCU showed that the tops of soda/coke cans are more contaminated than public toilets (i.e).. full of germs and bacteria. So wash them with water before putting them in to the mouth to avoid any kind of fatal accident.

Please forward this message to all the people you care about.

Food for thought

One more interesting mail from Lakshmi Muniyappa

---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: Lakshmi

 

Some interesting observations.  Where do you fit in dear.

 

 

There are many ways to eat a masala dosa .What ever the way one eats; there is a very good reason for doing that. It shows some traits of the person that is you...
 


Case 1: People who open the masala dosa and eat it : These are the people who are very open about their life. Everyone one the persons friends would know all about him/her. I have generally seen guys do this rather than girls. Some people think that it is a gross way of eating but in truth, these people are just portraying who they are and how their life is.

Case 2: People who start from both end and approach the masala later: These are the people who like to wait for the exiting things to come to their life. Sadly when the times comes, they are not too interested or just do not know how to enjoy it to the fullest. These are the folks who just want life as either dry or exiting. They just do not know how to phase their life and enjoy it no matter what. There are two types of people within this group

Case 2.1: People who do not finish all the masala: These folks just do not care as much for the fun times as they are already brought down by the harsh reality of life. The dry periods in their life has left them with so much scars that they do not want to be really happy when the time is right. They just take only as much as they needed and end their life. A very sorry state indeed.

Case 2.2: People who finish all the masala with the little dosa they have: These are the folks who just are the extremes. They just go all out in life. No matter it is dark or bright. They may not enjoy life to the fullest but they sure make sure that they get every single good and bad thing out of life. Sometimes these folks are really hard to get along with. They are either your best friends or your worst enemies. They do not have a middle path at all.

Case 3: People who start from the middle and proceed to both ends: These are the people who like to get right to what they think is their best part of life. Usually these guys finish of the good portions in a hurry and get stuck with nothing but worst parts of their life. The thing to note among these people is that the tendency to burn out very early in their life. Like the above case, there are two kinds of people in this group too.

Case 3.1: People who do not finish the dosa: These folks are really the saddest of people. They are the ones who tend to end their life as soon as it hits the bad patch. For them, they only need and want the best things in life and nothing more. Typically, they are not prepared or tuned to life as a whole. They just want to enjoy from first till last. Sadly, no one in the world can live without even an ounce of sadness in life. Not even the richest of the richest. But to self destruct at the mere sign of distress is very bad. That is what these guys tend to do. Some learn to live life but most of them do not.

Case 3.1: People who do finish the dosa: These folks are the typical human beings. We all enjoy the greatest of times in life and push the sad parts thinking about the great times in life. Typically the plate is clean and nothing is left for fate or in life. Happiness and sadness are part of life and these guys know that and are kind of prepared for it. Life is not always happy but there are moments of happiness here and there.

Case 4: People who eat the dosa making sure that the masala lasts for the whole dosa: These people are very rare. These are the people who like to attain balance in their life. It is hard to displease these people and it is hard to make them really happy. They like their balance and are very protective of it. Sadly these are the people who tend to be lonely as anyone else may upset the balance of their system. Perfectionist to the core and are very careful. These guys do not make the best company but are needed in any group to make the group from going hay wire.

Case 5: People who do not share and eat the dosa as if it is precious: These folks are very protective about their life. They do not want anyone to come and interfere in their life. They like to hide their true nature and intensions for their benefit. Beware of such people as they are in every group for their own need and nothing else.

Case 6: People who offer their first bite to others: These guys are overly friendly. They do anything to be part of a group and make everyone feel like the group is important than the individuals. They are the glue that holds any group together. They are very friendly and bring the best of all the others in the group. They go out of their way to help other friends. Most groups should have a person like this and they are the ones who plan the group outings and other group activities. Once this person is out of the group, typically the group slowly falls apart.

Case 7: People who take one or two bites and then offer the dosa to others: These guys care about friends and friendship but they take their time to get into the group. They take their time in making friends and they typically are very committed once into the friendship. These guys like to always be in the side lines and typically do not jump into anything in life. They always take their time to analyze the situation and then make a decision. These guys take the better safe than sorry approach.

Case 8: People who wait for others to make the offer first: Typical people I must say. They are unsure about everything. Even if they wanted to offer, they will wait till the other person offers the food first. If the other person is silent, so are these people. They are the followers. They do terrific idea, they will pitch it to someone else and get their advice before proceeding. Sadly, most of the elderly world like these types of people.

Case 9: People who offer dosa only when they cannot finish it on their own: You all may be familiar with these kinds of people. People who are very generous only when all their needs are fulfilled. These folks are selfish but at the same time not misers or greedy. They just want to satisfy themselves before they give it to the world. They typically do not stuff themselves nor do they tend to starve. They are very good people who would give you the best of advices in life. They would make sure that you are not sad following their advice.

Case 10: People who offer the whole dosa and eat from others plates: These folks are other extreme. They know what they want, they get what they want but they cannot enjoy what they want. Instead they tend to settle for other things in life which satisfies the needs but does not satisfy the person completely. These guys are termed as born losers cause even when they have the thing they wanted, they can't stop others from stealing it from them.

So next time you sit with a person eating a masala dosa, look closely and see if he falls into one of the above categories. You may be surprised as how much it reveals about the person*

Sharpening our Axe

In this mail,

a) A case that might help you

b) Prayers for a few and

c) a quote which might inspire you

 

 

Friends,

Nice meeting you after a long time.

 

A few days ago, I received a phone call from a person who introduced himself as a student of mine and expressed wish to meet me for a help which he said he shall tell personally.

Over tea, he shared a few difficulties which showed that he needed fine tuning in some basic habits.

Seeing that he was the managing director of an important retail outlet in the town and being careful that the suggestions to be given to him should be effective and not very time consuming, I got the help from one of the most effective diplomats of the history and a person whose life history itself is a great inspiration to anyone who reads - Benjamin Franklin.

 

Of the so many things we learn from the great person, His way of imbibing values is the greatest - I feel.

 

He had conceived 13 virtues and also gave a simple definition which helped him as well as all those who wished to follow it by reading it regularly. I suggested 3 virtues from Benjamin Franklin's list and suggested to stick to them. This shall bring in steady and sure positive changes in life.

 

I'm sending this to you so that you might find an use of this in your life too.

 

2.      "SILENCE. Speak not but what may benefit others or yourself; avoid trifling conversation."

 

3.      "ORDER. Let all your things have their places; let each part of your business have its time."

 

4.      "RESOLUTION. Resolve to perform what you ought; perform without fail what you resolve."

Saradha thiruvengadam, a seven months old baby is diagnosed with a tumour.

Seven months old, so tender, so lovable......

She is privileged to have parents who can afford a treatment for her and she is already admitted in a very good hospital.

But her parents are trying to gather one thing what the doctor had advised - - prayers. This mail too is in that attempt only. pls pray for the kid and her parents.

 

A good friend of mine, by some mistake in the past was blackmailed, humiliated, forced out of work and now in deep stress, out of work and directionless......

I refrain mentioning her name for reasons which you can understand.

Please pray for her, strength and courage to come over this difficult situation, stability for her tomorrow, and peace - which is most important for her.

==============================================================================

 

"You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself any direction you choose.
You're on your own, and you know what you know.
And you are the one who'll decide where you'll go."

===============================================================================

I shall keep in touch with you, as always.

And I know, your sms, mails and all forwarded messages - help keep spreading the message of friendship,

May God bless you and your dears,

Our beloved Dr.Abdul Kalam's President Speech

---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: poonam rajora

 

 

I am proud to forward this speech............................
I am sure you will agree with every suggestion he has made.................

*Please read this article by giving 10 minutes from your busy life. Really
good.... ** *

* The President of India DR. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam 's Speech in Hyderabad . *


Why is the media here so negative?
Why are we in India so embarrassed to recognize our own strengths, our
achievements? We are such a great nation. We have so many amazing success
stories but we refuse to acknowledge them. Why?
We are the first in milk production.
We are number one in Remote sensing satellites.
We are the second largest producer of wheat.
We are the second largest producer of rice.
Look at Dr. Sudarshan , he has transferred the tribal village into a
self-sustaining, self-driving unit. There are millions of such
achievements but our media is only obsessed in the bad news and failures
and disasters. I was in Tel Aviv once and I was reading the Israeli
newspaper. It was the  day
after a lot of attacks and bombardments and deaths had taken place. The
Hamas had struck. But the front page of the newspaper had the picture of a
Jewish gentleman who in five years had transformed his desert into an
orchid  and a granary. It was this inspiring picture that everyone woke up
to. The gory details of killings, bombardments, deaths, were inside in the
newspaper, buried among other news.

In India we only read about death, sickness, terrorism, crime. Why are we
so  NEGATIVE? Another question: Why are we, as a nation so obsessed with
foreign things? We want foreign T. Vs, we want foreign shirts. We want
foreign technology.

Why this obsession with everything imported. Do we not realize that
self-respect comes with self-reliance? I was in Hyderabad giving this
lecture,
when a 14 year old girl asked me for my autograph. I asked her what her
goal in life is. She replied: I want to live in a developed India . For
her,  you and I will have to build this developed India . You must
proclaim. India is not an under-developed nation; it is a highly developed
nation. Do you have 10 minutes? Allow me to come back with a vengeance.

Got 10 minutes for your country? If yes, then read; otherwise, choice is
yours.
YOU say that our government is inefficient.
YOU say that our laws are too old.
YOU say that the municipality does not pick up the garbage.
YOU say that the phones don't work, the railways are a joke,
The airline is the worst in the world, mails never reach their
destination. YOU say that our country has been fed to the dogs and is the
absolute pits.

YOU say, say and say. What do YOU do about it?
Take a person on his way to Singapore . Give him a name - YOURS. Give him
a face - YOURS. YOU walk out of the airport and you are at your
International best. In Singapore you don't throw cigarette butts on the
roads or eat in  the stores. YOU are as proud of their Underground links
as they are. You pay $5 (approx. Rs. 60) to drive through Orchard Road
(equivalent of Mahim Causeway or Pedder Road) between 5 PM and 8 PM. YOU
come back to the parking  lot to punch your parking ticket if you have
over stayed in a restaurant or a shopping mall irrespective of your status
identity... In Singapore you don't say anything, DO YOU? YOU wouldn't dare
to eat in public during  Ramadan, in Dubai . YOU would not dare to go out
without your head covered in Jeddah. YOU would not dare to buy an employee
of the telephone exchange in London at 10 pounds ( Rs.650) a month to,
'see to it that my STD and ISD  calls are billed to someone else.'YOU
would not dare to speed beyond 55 mph (88 km/h) in Washington and then
tell the traffic cop,
'Jaanta hai main kaun hoon (Do you know who I am?). I am so and so's son.
Take your two bucks and get lost.' YOU wouldn't chuck an empty coconut
shell anywhere other than the garbage pail on the beaches in Australia and
New Zealand .
Why don't YOU spit Paan on the streets of Tokyo ? Why don't YOU use
examination jockeys or buy fake certificates in Boston ??? We are still
talking of the same YOU. YOU who can respect and conform to a foreign
system in other countries but cannot in your own. You who will throw
papers and  cigarettes on the road the moment you touch Indian ground. If
you can be an involved and appreciative citizen in an alien country, why
cannot you be the same here in India ?

Once in an interview, the famous Ex-municipal commissioner of Bombay , Mr.
 Tinaikar , had a point to make. 'Rich people's dogs are walked on the
streets to leave their affluent droppings all over the place,' he said.
'And then the same people turn around to criticize and blame the
authorities for inefficiency and dirty pavements. What do they expect the
officers to do? Go down with a broom every time their dog feels the
pressure in his bowels?
In America every dog owner has to clean up after his pet has done the job.
 Same in Japan . Will the Indian citizen do that here?' He's right. We go
to  the polls to choose a government and after that forfeit all
responsibility. We sit back wanting to be pampered and expect the
government to do  everything for us whilst our contribution is totally
negative. We expect the government to clean up but we are not going to
stop chucking garbage all over the place nor are we going to stop to pick
a up a stray piece of paper  and throw it in the bin. We expect the
railways to provide clean bathrooms  but we are not going to learn the
proper use of bathrooms.
We want Indian Airlines and Air India to provide the best of food and
toiletries but we are not going to stop pilfering at the least
opportunity.  This applies even to the staff who is known not to pass on
the service to  the public. When it comes to burning social issues like
those related to women, dowry, girl child! and others, we make loud
drawing room
protestations and continue to do the reverse at home. Our excuse? 'It's
the  whole system which has to change, how will it matter if I alone
forego my sons' rights to a dowry.' So who's going to change the system?
What does a system consist of ? Very conveniently for us it consists of
our  neighbours, other households, other cities, other communities and the
government. But definitely not me and YOU. When it comes to us actually
making a positive contribution to the system we lock ourselves along with
our families into a safe cocoon and look into the distance at countries
far  away and wait for a Mr.Clean to come along & work miracles for us
with a  majestic sweep of his hand or we leave the country and run away.
Like lazy cowards hounded by our fears we run to America to bask in their
glory and praise their system. When New York becomes insecure we run to
England . When England experiences unemployment, we take the next flight
out to the Gulf. When the Gulf is war struck, we demand to be rescued and
brought home by the Indian government. Everybody is out to abuse and rape
the country. Nobody thinks of feeding the system. Our conscience is
mortgaged to money.

Dear Indians, The article is highly thought inductive, calls for a great
deal of introspection and pricks one's conscience too.... I am echoing J.
F.  Kennedy 's words to his fellow Americans to relate to Indians.....

'ASK WHAT WE CAN DO FOR INDIA
AND DO WHAT HAS TO BE DONE TO MAKE INDIA
WHAT AMERICA AND OTHER WESTERN COUNTRIES ARE TODAY'

Lets do what India needs from us.

Forward this mail to each Indian for a change instead of sending Jokes or
junk mails.

Thank you,

Dr. Abdul Kalaam
