Fire from Hell

Submitted by rajat on

It was there somewhere in the news for a while. More than 55 perople lost their lives in a fire accident in Meerut. Its not the first time that we have seen such a damage. The pain in the eyes of the relatives and the sentiments in the hearts of the others, all is heart rendering. But after a couple of days, all of it takes a different shape. Instead of serving the purpose of a lesson for future, it remains as as a news. We have sentiments in place. We dont want such things. We never want it to repeat. So why dont we start doing things about it?

Reservations:What do we do?

Submitted by rajat on

Reservation issue, Meerut fire, Narmada Bachao Aandolan, any other issue for that matter.. Every time we come across a hot issue related to our society where we see some darker shades in the happenings, we always think about what can be done. This thought manifests itself in two dimensions: 1> the first one is the more popular and well known. I choose to call it Blame Transfer Cycle. This is essentially a process of deciding for yourself what the others should have done what now they should do and finally what should they do for future.

When Talking about Reservation

Submitted by rajat on

I know it hurts and pains to see the politicians play with the lives and future of the civilians so very rudely. Reservation issue this time came as an uninvited guest to me. When I sit down to think about the issues that I am confronting in and around me, I can broadly classify them into two categories. One, that affect me directly and the other that are at some distance when talking about impact. My personal motivation is always higher for the issues that I confront.

Please be gentle. Will You?

Submitted by ankit on

Please be gentle with me for I am grieving. The sea I swim in is a lonely one and the shore seems miles away. Waves of despair numb my soul as I struggle through each day. My heart is heavy with sorrow. I want to shout and scream and repeatedly ask why. At time, my grief overwhelms me and I weep bitterly, so great is my loss. Please don't turn away Or tell me to move on with my life. I must embrace my pain before I can begin to heal. Companion me through tears And sit with me in loving silence. Honor where I am in my journey Not where you think I should be.

My Friend...

I got your back You got mine, I'll help you out Anytime. To see you hurt To see you cry, Makes me weep And wanna die. And if you agree, To never fight, It wouldn't matter Who's wrong or right. If a broken heart Needs a mend, I'll be right there To the end. If your cheeks are wet From drops of tears, Don't you worry Let go of your fears. Hand in hand love is sent We'll be friends Till the end. Waiting...

live and let live

Submitted by abhinav on

The jail in which Bhagat Singh,Sukhdev and Rajguru was kept before their execution there was something which was encrypted in the wall. It was "LIVE AND LET LIVE". I will strongly support the real sense behind this sentence which may be very normal and easy going for people. But once you start thinking of it u will feel the intensity of its meaning.

Project Sankalp Awareness program

Submitted by mandyshri on

Hi folks, Last time I met Rajat,He gave me a small suggestion about creating awareness in hostel. He told me to create the awareness by asking them not to waste or unused electricity and water. Which,I,accept are the part of our life and shouldn't be wasted. Well,I am sure people very few among us respect this things.But this may play a big role in our moral ethics and in others life. Well,Can we create an awareness program for our college which can be implemented in classrooms,Toilets and drinking water resources???????????

Charity..

Submitted by brij_agrwl on
well my question is" what u call as charity?" i do not consider distribution of commodities,arranging a fun time for those poors,nor the free food as charity..

Rather charity would be something like creating a environment that help them evolve.. Let them know that they can build there life.. They can not simply blame a government for anything without casting votes.. All in all I would cosider awareness program can be most effective as charity.. Right?

And I think our Sankalp Organisation doing same..

It should be there within you

Submitted by Venu on
To day after we sung National Anthem I turned back to see a person standing in attension. Interesting thing here is his respect for the national anthem. So what is special about it? He was standing with the support of sticks. moral: Whoever be it ... The rich or the poor ... the basic thing that a person should have within him is feeling for his nation.

Visit to Gandhi Foundation

Submitted by Venu on

Here we saw another organization working for the cause. I had thought the organisation is run by the retired persons who want to work for the name. But it is not so. Its again a youth group like CTC who are working professionals and active members of this organisation. We were warmly welcomed at Old age home run by this organisation. There on the board it was written with colors Welcome Sankalp India Foundation. We had similar kind of welcome at Grow well school in Thanjavur. We had a very good interaction with Devendra one of the active member.

Sun will shine one more time.

I received a call today. It was from a very special person. A person who I has met 6 years back in the same month of April. A person who was so very important for me(and is). I have been bad at relationships. I can never really figure out what the others take for obvious. That is possibly one reason why people around me are usually frustrated with me. Whether they claim so or not is a different matter. Dust was slowly gathering on the relationship that we had.
