Fight Global Warming , Fight for World Independence

Rising oil price and rising inflation is today's hot topic in every house hold of the world. Some part of the world is related with excess reserve of oil(OPEC) and others being dependent on them; we all are revolving around energy. Amid this circles we have thousands of political factions,exploitations and rivalries. But we in between, are in oblivion about global warning, being given by mother Nature. Yes , you agree or do not agree we are in the verge of serious threat. Its Global Warming. Man made artificial destruction and result of our extensive need and progression.

Either America,Europe,Middle east or Asia every nation needs development. We have achieved rapid exponential success in science and Technology since last century. America and Europe become breeding land for all inventions and development. Slowly they helped rest of the world. Post worlds' all scientific inventions used as civilian upliftment. One way it was good. We all understood how bad the war was. But slowly it pushed all of us towards a new world. The world of capitalism. Commerce, business and wealth become new weapon for every country. Again an invisible war has begun- The Economic War.

It has been last 50 years we are in this war, never knowing that we are loosing day by day. Today though we are facing energy crisis (OIL) but we ignore the real crisis. The Global warming. Rapid use of oil in developed countries since last 50 years and now rapid growth of developing countries' demands for more and more energy. Not to repeat what problem we face- from food price to electric bill. But instead of looking at real problem the whole world again engaged in blame game. We are at serious threat of global warming, but we never succumb to out greedy mind.

In USA every house hold has a car. They consume most of the oil in the world. No doubt that they are leading most comfort and lavish life. Though every one talks about bringing down oil price but nobody thinks about changing luxury habits. Like reducing oil consumption and developing new mass communication system. Same time in India , China and other developing countries' corporate world encourage for more and more use of cars and luxury items. Added to that Population explosion across the world, never stops needs for basic goods.

No need to say how and why global warming is happening. No country would be escaped from this. Still we have fair chance of saving our world. Just we need to give up our greedy mind,lavish life and think as one citizen of the world. Helping out each other we can save tomorrow's world - can give a greener world to our next generation. Lets think for our Independence - independence for our world.

Divided We Stand : Indians

In my school days we used to celebrate National Integration Day. The purpose was to make aware of unity in diversity in our Nation. We were told that we have many languages,many religion,beliefs and faith. It was very difficult to realize this in school days. Because I did not see much difference when I come out of my class room. My outlook was not growing like today's kids. May be lack of pervasive news media and Internet was not existing then. Hope toady's kids will see the unity in differences!! I would like to say what I feel when I able to saw true India.

British used to implement a rational - divide and rule, in India. This British legacy left a strong impression among us. As India got independence everything under gone a change. So we just modified the sentence as - Divided we Stand.

Look at recent Gorkha land agitation, Telengana state agitation!! And in past Bihar-Jharkhand, MP - Chhattisgarh, UP-Uttarnchal. These are our burning example of divided we stand. Also down south fight for water and language. But still we stand together. And some occasions unite for religion and caste. Just before independence we lost few things. And what is there for our future I am scared to think.

I have been thinking why it happens again and again. I do not see any other part of world. Neither in America or Europe. So I went to our past to dig little more. I am not a historian but just reminding my school books. When Alexander attacked India, King Puru fought against him. During that time too few of our Kings helped him to Invade India instead of comign togeather. Again look at Asoka how he became King. Killing all his brothers. And so many endless examples. So is today happening in Modern India. Today's cheap politicians and bureaucrats together to gain momentary personal benefit dividing India in the name of Development. What development they have done after having a new state ? Just a new capital and new chief minister and set of ministers. Few people agitate,few support and many of us dumb and deaf spectators make this divide successful.

Neither we nor our politicians could learn to discuss our many other problems. We have a population explosion, pollution, health care,illiteracy, scarcity of water, education etc never comes into picture. Yes this only comes out a scandal. This has been so prevalent that people start ignoring this as if this as a common thing. We work in corporate world as a one nation. But still there remains a thin layer of difference and favouritism among ourselves. Being so educated we can not understand this so what wrong with poor fellows to follow blindly to their leaders for separate state or reservation. We got education but did not get Knowledge.

So how young India will make it a developed India by 2020?

Yoga and Exercise : Billon Dollar Asset with in you






Dear Friends I am happy to know that our Honorable Health Minister is favouring Yoga guru Ramdev and also trying to include yoga in school curriculum. Thanks, it will help to build descipline and character among budding citizens.No need to give introduction about baba Ramdev and about yoga. World knows both. I personally believe him as my Yoga Guru though I see him only in videos. Today I would like to share my personal experience of Yoga and Exercise.

I have been doing yoga and exercicse since my childhood days. I do it to stay fit and healthy and same time I hate to visit doctor. Thanks to our ancient culture discovering this. We often forget our own values. Yoga no only keeps my body flexible but same time keeps away from back pain,stress and stain in day to day life. I normally prefer to pratice in the morning. First I do streaching exercise and go for 2 mile jogging and brisk walking. Then come back and do yoga and in end, prnayam. Pranayam helps relaxing my mind and keeping my thoughts clear. It is all about controlling breathing. I believe if ones body is not fit and healthy then pranayam effectiveness is very less. So keep your body physically fit first by doing yoga and exercise. It is my personal experience. By this I keep my metabolic and digestive system under control. As our Ayurvadeic doctor says : Cough and "Pita"(dont know in English)is the root cause of all deseases. If ones bowl movement is in proper order chances of common deseases are very less.

I do not feel to write much as all of us know its benefit. But I request all of you please spend some time doing yoga and exercise, at least twice in a week also good. Remember HEALTH IS WEALTH. You might be a billionaire but a unhelathy body and stressful mind is worth more than billion dollar in debt. When we are young our body manages to protect against deceases. But as we grow older not ever more than 30years old ,body starts to deteriorate. To prevent this happening if we do yoga and exercise, it will give much benefit as years go by. It helps to keep us young and fresh always. Who does not want to be young for ever !!!!!

You can share your thoughts and experiences......

Let us rediscover ourselves and our values and build a better world.
