I watched this video on one of my friends' orkut profile and got tempted to write something. I wanted to add a sensible note to my previous posting that was a slap on Railways' new proposed pass scheme for people who earn less than 500 bucks a month. Have a look at this video and decide... it has a much deeper meaning than the linkage.
So... what will you buy, if you find a Rs. 500 note by any chance ??? have you decided ??? i haven't... I couldn't imagined what all one can do of a single 500 green note... people waste it.. people praise it... people admire it.. gift it... save it... n what not ?
If I would have been given a choice, I may have plenty of answers, ranging from buying a good T-shirt, going to a restaurant, gifting teddy's to friends (oops ! to gfs ;)), throwing a movie party, or what not ??
I(rather we...) never think of those who may have got better education with that petty money... or someone, who could have managed eating for a month, or those kids who may have smiled on their new clothings...
This small video makes us think about all this, and I do realize to keep eyes open and mind in place while spending.
People have their own choices... one earns and works hard to spend.... this is right. And this may be the reason one never looks at the other side of the reality... where poor do not get the same kind of living as we could. Many of us also say that whatever we earn, we pay heavily towards the benefit of the society in the form of taxes.... that is also right. So, who is to blame ? the government, the society or ourselves ???
I am still very young to answer this and I know, just by writing all this I am not doing anything great. But, still... I feel that If anyone gets inspired by watching this or reading this story, A new step will be taken and one day, we can see our "India shining !". Just a simple saying to end this post...
"Always keep in mind about our responsibility to bring society to the level we wanted to live in, before any act."
Abhi desrvs kudos 4 raking up n issue lost to oblivion in our quest to corner maximum benefits 4 ourselves and caring da least 4 less fortunate populace of divided india........i was taken n aback at the level of SOCIAL consciousness of this tech savvy freak , hitherto thought him to be a passive self centrd guy bt his blog haz changed da way i looked at him, interesting , dis blog wil go in long way in creating awareness for sympathy for poor n destitute and put up psychological presure on men in administration to implement effectivly pro-poor scheme to ensure their betterment coz in da concluding lines one can gauge a sense of resentment against da state !!!!!!!!!!!!!
