			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While a man was polishing his new car, his 4 yr old son picked stone &amp; scratched lines on the side of the car.</p>
<p>In anger, the man took the child&#8217;s hand &amp; hit it many times, not realizing he was using a wrench.</p>
<p>At the hospital, the child lost all his fingers due to multiple fractures. When the child saw his father&#8230;.<br />
with painful eyes he asked</p>
<p>&#8216;Dad when will my fingers grow back?&#8217;</p>
<p>Man was so hurt and speechless. He went back to car and kicked it a lot of times.<br />
Devastated by his own actions&#8230;&#8230; sitting in front of that car he looked at the scratches,<br />
child had written &#8216;LOVE YOU DAD&#8217;.<br />
The next day that man committed suicide. . .</p>
<p>Anger and Love have no limits, Choose the later to have a beautiful &amp; <b><a title="happy valentines day" target="_blank" href="http://www.theoriginof.com/valentines-day.html">love</a></b>ly life &#8230;.</p>
<p>Things are to be used and people are to be <b><a title="happy valentines day" target="_blank" href="http://www.theoriginof.com/valentines-day.html">love</a></b>d,<br />
But the problem in todays world is that,<br />
People are used and things are <b><a title="happy valentines day" target="_blank" href="http://www.theoriginof.com/valentines-day.html">love</a></b>d&#8230;..</p>
<p>Got this mail today&#8230; Tank a lot to Dr. Dani</p>
<p>I was really touchd when I read this mail&#8230; Just thought to share with you all&#8230;</p>
<p>Give it a thought&#8230; It really deserves one&#8230;</p>
<p>We need to respect our relations and people around us&#8230;</p>

I am upset today. Not because somebody said something to me. I am just upset the way our young generation is taking things so easy!!!

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Calibri;">Hi,</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Calibri;">I am upset today. Not because somebody said something to me. I am just upset the way our young generation is taking things so easy!!!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Calibri;">Yesterday 8:30-9:30pm was Earth Hour and I sincerely hope that whoever is reading this did their best to put off their lights. Why I am hoping this? Because what happened yesterday and what I saw today in newspaper was quiet disheartening.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Calibri;">Yesterday at 8:30 we switched off lights in our room and as my roommate went to other part of the flat to switch off other lights, my flat mates were there with lights switched on. When she told them to switch off their lights she got a blunt reply “isse kya ho jayega (what difference does it make)” </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Calibri;">Isse kya ho jayega???? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am wondering since last evening. What difference does it make??? Of course it does make a difference. Change in society, country or environment for that matter can’t be brought about by one person or a group. All of us have to make a small effort on our own part. We talk about changing nation. Our stars are asking us to vote. And here is our young generation telling us it doesn’t make a difference. Being a part of this generation, it hurts me. I don’t want our elders to think that we don’t care!!!! We do care!!! About them, about our country, about our society and about our environment. However, there are people who are taking things a bit too lightly.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Calibri;">I have been wondering what difference a politician can make when we don’t want to move a finger!!!!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Calibri;">We keep cursing our system, our politicians and everybody around us except OURSELVES!!!! I think we should first curse ourselves for all that we have not been able to change!!!! Do you think people like these (isse kya hoga typos) can choose a person worthy of being chosen. I wonder if they even care as long as they are comfortable in the coziness of their homes!!!!!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Calibri;">Where are we going?? Killing a Aman on the name of “introduction”, a Jigeesha and Saumya being unsafe in their own city, leaving that we are not safe with our own relations!!!!! </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Calibri;">All this is quiet disturbing and disgusting. I should have been sitting and studying hard for my exam tomorrow but I just can’t until I vent out my heart. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Calibri;">Reading today’ newspaper I saw pictures from all over the world showing pictures of government buildings before and during earth hour. And guess what pictures India had to show!!! Instead of parliament house or some other government building, we had a picture of a 5-star hotel. Isn’t this disgusting? I don’t know if the lights were not switched off at any of our government official place or politicians’ house for that matter, or media was more interested in a 5-star hotel. They should have instead shown houses of politicians. I wish I could see if Gandhis and Thackreys followed the earth hour. God knows what went behind all this. But now I don’t know whom to hold responsible, whom to complain???</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Calibri;">The problem is not only in the system but in each of our attitudes. If we want the system to be changed we have to start from ourselves. Change has to begin from home.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>People who don’t want to make an effort don’t have the right to complain. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Calibri;">Finally, I just want to say that we need to change ourselves before we think of changing the system. We have to be aware and sensitive to our surroundings. We have to think of environment and try to make the world a better place. Wake up guys!!!! It is us who can make the change. A small effort on each of our part will make the world change I am sure. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Calibri;">God Bless You All and May the Almighty be With You Always!!!!!!</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi there&#8230;.</p>
<p>How r u all?</p>
<p>Wanna share something with u&#8230; today I got to think a lot.. on my way back from college, I went to MTNL exchange which is close to my place.. Its a big exchange.. with people constantly going in and out. When I entered the premises, there were security guards sitting at the gate. One of them was perhaps standing. I don&#8217;t really remember.. Y? coz I had gone there so many times and these security guards, if they were there always, never registered.. They never tried to question anybody y they were going in.. Oh yes.. I remember now!!! When I went there for the first time, I saw this man in blue uniform at the gate with a register. I thought he wud stop me to ask y am I here? But he didn&#8217;t. This is some 6 months back.. when we were not this scared. But the situation has improved evena bit.. He didnt ask me today too!!!!!!!!! And if we see today&#8217;s scenario, this is worse than 6 months!!!! Right? I thought of asking him Y he didnt check? y he was nt checking anybody going in and out of the premises??? But I didnt.. I just came out thinking.. and wondering&#8230;</p>
<p>Then on my way back I felt a bit better seeing many buildings having proper security guards who were diligently checking each and every vehicle going inside.. BUT!!!! they were not checking the drivers!!!!!!!! and this was only in two hig profile buildings in that area.. rest was same.. I went to three banks today.. State Bank of Patiala, Punjab National Bank and IDBI&#8230; there were security guards ofcourse&#8230; however.. they never tried to ask me y i was going inside!!!! they were just sitting by the gate.. not bothering who is coming in&#8230;.</p>
<p>Now this is something really serious.. rt? what am thinking? who is responsible? the guards? may be? the system? may be? WE????? YES!!!! tell me&#8230; how many of us won&#8217;t be irritated if every time u enter a building, u r checked and questioned? most of us? may be thats wat makes these guards just sit and see!!! if this is so? then we know wat to do&#8230; if the system is to blame. then also we know wat to do&#8230; and if the guards are to be blamed.. then we better make the system know wat to do&#8230;.</p>
<p>I know u must be thinking am saying but i didnt do anything.. I know&#8230; I am sorry&#8230; Am apologising not only to u.. its to me.. to my country&#8230; which expects me to be a responsible citizen..</p>
<p>This was one thing.. Then I saw one thing more.. a ver well educated, seemingly dignified man walkin just ahead of me.. and BINGO!!! all dignity in air!!! He just spit on the road!!!! one, two, three&#8230; he is spitting&#8230; and am juggling with my mind and heart to confront him&#8230; I didnt .. He went away&#8230; AM SORRY INDIA!!!!</p>
<p>Hmmmmm&#8230; I know I was not able to rise upto ur, mine and country&#8217;s expectations..</p>
<p>However, I have decided to start speaking up for wat I think is right for the society, for the country, for u and for me&#8230; It might take some time.. y didnt I do it today.. I really don&#8217;t know.. may be we are too used to seeing and ignoring things and just coming home and getting busy with our lives&#8230; This has to change and it has to start somewhere.. then y not me? y not u? are u with me? r u with the country?</p>
<p>DO YOU REALLY CARE????</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>hi..</p>
<p>how u doing? gud? hmmmm&#8230; gr8!!!! am doing gud.. i sat in front of my lappie today to study&#8230; just thought to check my mail before i get to study&#8230; and here i am.. having a heart to heart talk with u guys&#8230;</p>
<p>yesterday one of my net friends sent me a invite for a group he has started as an initiative to bring a change in india.. he did so after reading my bolg apparently.. hmmm.. i took it as a compliment and accepted his invitation&#8230; and trust me by the time i went to bed i forgot about it!!!!!</p>
<p>however, when i opened my mail today.. there was this group, mails from the members that they have been interacting through&#8230; and guys.. trust me.. these people mean business <img src='http://www.drvandana.com/smilies/yahoo_smiley.gif' alt='&#58;&#41;' class='wp-smiley' width='18' height='18' title='&#58;&#41;' />&#8230; am glad that i read the mails&#8230;</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know how and how much change these intiatives will be able to bring.. but wat i believe is we don&#8217;t need an army to bring about a change.. change will start at home.. really&#8230; first we have to change ourselves.. change the way we think, feel and care about our country and people around us..</p>
<p>done this.. we&#8217;ll be able to see the places where changes are required.. some will be demanding urgent attention.. and others can eb dealt with slowly and pateintly..</p>
<p>this has made me think.. and i want to do something.. the question is.. will i be able to make any contibution.. may be.. i hope so!!!!!</p>
<p>well.. am not doubtful&#8230; am just thinking of a way to start&#8230; we need to change the system that is governing us.. and how can we do that? its not an easy thing to do.. but nothing is impossible in this world.. even impossible says  &#8220;I M POSSIBLE&#8221; !!!!</p>
<p>RIGHT ANKUR??? hmmmm&#8230;. I am with you guys&#8230; and will try my best to do watever i can&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>HI&#8230;</p>
<p>how u doing?</p>
<p>am dong gud.. though thinking since evening&#8230; i was feeling very strongly about mumbai.. (i still do).. however.. i have a doubt now.. may be u can clear..</p>
<p>while i was coming back from the college today&#8230; a car stopped near me when i turned for the road to my PG.. The person driving the car might be around 28-29 yrs&#8230; he called me 2-3 times and wen i looked into the car.. he asked me for an address which was supposed to be in my locality but i didnt know abt it.. then he asked me where the offices are? i told him they are just here.. and then he said if u going that side? can u guide me? i was like wat!!!! i said no sorry.. and i moved.. a moment later he again stopped his car near me.. and said.. listen,, i looked back,, he said actually i wanted to talk to u only.. i said ya tell me.. he said can we talk at some other place!!!!!!!!!! i gave him &#8220;R U NUTS!!!!!&#8221; looks and i moved on.. but inside.. i was scared.. it was a busy road.. almost towards a jam.. so he had to move on&#8230;</p>
<p>on my way back.. i was thinking.. wat did he think he was doing? wat did he think he cud do???  he wud have asked me and i wud have sit in his car? just coz he has got a car he can woo any girl???? wanted to slap these @#!%@$@# wanted to say him #%#$ OFF!!!!!</p>
<p>And we say we have to fight terrorism&#8230; no place is safe? terrorist or no terrorist&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>just heard of the bomb blasts in ahmedabad&#8230; this is shockin.. heart rending&#8230;</p>
<p>i just cant imagine the plight of the city&#8230;</p>
<p>one tends to blame to govt, the security system.. but we cant blam them completely..</p>
<p>in a country with such a large and diverse population, its just not possible to have such a seurity system that excludes the possibility of any crime..</p>
<p>however.. 14 blasts in the same city.. there must be some loopholes in the security that gov should find out.. innocent people r dying and getting hurt.. and some selfish ones r taking advantage by giving it a communal turn.. this is the biggest drawback of democracy&#8230;</p>
<p>its time that we stand up for right and think with our heads.. before following anybody and getting agitated. wats required in such a sensitive situation is to have empathy for mankind and fellow countrymen&#8230;</p>
<p>pray for the departed souls and wish the injured a speedy recovery&#8230;</p>
<p>god give the selfish some senstivity to feel the truth&#8230;</p>

<p>1st.. y r parents sometimes so insensitive towards their child&#8217;s problems? what makes the parents run in the grade race?? and make their child do that too?? is it so essential to get good grades? can&#8217;t we do gud in life without that?</p>
<p>2nd.. is putting a child in a boarding the solution to all problems? or for that matter should a child be put in a boarding in a tender age when he needs his parents so much?</p>
<p>even if u havnt seen the movie ( u must watch it buuddy!!!) i would luv to know ur views abt it.. y r we playing with future of our society?? speak it out friends!!! u may knw somehting new about urself&#8230;.</p>
