This Christmas - Lets Step out with a cause.

-





As a child, I had the privilege of experiencing taking educational expedition at a Missionary School in my home town.  Our day time-table was interestingly woven with subjects as interesting as Moral Science besides General Science. Having traversed 30 years since, I infer that understanding moral science is more of a modern need. Let’s refrain from arguing. Have you, lately,  seen the world around you? Does it call for a need to bring back a dedicated subject called MORAL SCIENCE into the school platter of so-called fee-fed education system.

It is indeed sad, while reflecting on the recent events at the country’s capital, New Delhi, arising out of immoral dare-do assault on souls who don’t deserve to be treated or manifested, in the wildest of dreams; I strongly feel that we need to stop talking about connotation and annotation of how it happened and what next – instead, get down to reflecting on our inner moral index. Are we evolved? Are we matured? If not, than take necessary actions and steps to change. To be the change that we want to see in this world!

The necessity to understand Moral Science is becoming to be taken urgently. Least, we will be able to understand to handle and manage our “Moral” chords when it comes to balancing our life with all the attractions and distractions around us and while we are gasping to keep up with the pace of life in the environment that we dwell.



Recent days, it has been very busy for all those scores and hundreds of elite intellectual ponder debate and wonder on the TV screen, on how to handle the growing numbers of immoral criminals and crimes in the country. Interestingly, they all blame it on the executive body, judiciary, police et al. Why can’t they rise to the need of the hour, by being the change? Stepping out of their couch and set examples of moral attributes that needs to be put in motion.  Today’s daily reads -  an elected people’s representative is charged with immoral crimes!!! Where are we heading?

We are a country of Nalandas; a country of the Mahatmas, a country of Rabindra Nath Tagores, Mother Teresas, Tatas, Sachin Tendulkars, a country of Vaishnu Devi Dhams, a country of Kamakhya Temples, and  the list never ends. So diverse, so rich, so civilized. 

My questions is - why are we struggling at this time and age on this Earth with something called MORAL? Can we embark upon a trek to try and change the moral landscape? Are you there in the path ahead?

Critical People

-
One incredibly interesting night; when sleep did not don on me. I opted to spend time on the Web. While browsing through the pages - here is something interesting, which I stumbled on - which I would like to share.  An interesting article on How to Deal with Critical People. Here is how it goes - Imagine this. You are in a good mood today. There’s something you are really happy about and you decide to tell your friend to share the excitement. However, your friend listens mainly in nonchalance while you are gushing away. Worse still, he/she starts giving his/her 2 cents about how it’s not really not that great. Talk about a wet blanket! Before you know it, your mood switched 180 degrees, from a happy state to one of annoyance and irritation. Does this sound familiar? This is a typical behavior of critical people.  Critical people can be real downers , just like  energy vampires . No matter what you say, they always find...

G-8 endorses halving global emissions by 2050

-
RUSUTSU, Japan - The Group of Eight leading industrial nations on Tuesday endorsed halving world emissions of greenhouse gases by 2050, edging forward in the battle against global warming but stopping short of tough, nearer-term targets. The G-8 countries — the United States, Japan, Russia, Germany, France, Britain, Canada and Italy — also called on all major economies to join in the effort to stem the potentially dangerous rise in world temperatures. "The G-8 nations came to a mutual recognition that this target — cutting global emissions by at least 50 percent by 2050 — should be a global target," said Japanese Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda, who announced the endorsement. The G-8 last year at a summit in Germany pledged to consider the 2050 target, and this year's Japanese hosts had hoped to solidify that commitment at the meeting in Toyako, northern Japan. The G-8 has been under pressure to secure commitments by wealthy nations to push forward stalled U.N...

Freedom in the Air

GO !   And, you step out of the flying airplane into the space and dip into a free-fall.  You experience the “gravity”. Your mind just blows out to nowhere. What a rush of “excitement-thrill” ? I am only assuming looking up towards the sky; trying to figure out those brave individuals take the dive from the sky above . Sky Diving! Why did you do this? Do you possess an extraordinary form of motivation to take up such a step otherwise then that of the natives, daring to jump from the space of air onto the Earth? I assume undertaking extreme sports are a food on the plate for you to indulge in high-risk actions in your ways and means of life. You have to be different. You are ! An avid diver says, “We are folks from all walks of life: students, blue-collar workers, engineers, doctors, nurses, you name it. Maybe, what we have in common is an affinity for a high-risk sport. Likewise, some indulge in scuba diving, kayaking, rock climbing, or skiing. There is a sen...
