Making a Difference

Image
  Open my eyes I do every morning, As I see the first rays of sunlight, As I hear the first choir of birds singing, And as I feel the first prayers offered to the ‘Creator’. To the inevitable truth I then surrender, That a new day has arrived! A new day, a new beginning for many; A new adventure in schools for children like me; A new opportunity for them to learn and discover; A whole new world for them to explore and share; … Where strangers become friends. … Where exists not amongst them much difference. Truly a new day, a new beginning for many, …But alas! It is not so for me! Hesitantly, pull myself I do to the floor; And get ready to walk through the door.  Beyond that door, a tiring journey awaits me… A journey striking me with the harshness of reality.  A reality where hell starts from my family, With a delusional father and an ailing mother beside me.  A reality where though someone I do have, to call my own; Travel through it I have to all alone. A reality w...

Lost without you

Image
  Once beauty I did desire, Once success, I did desire, Once wealth I did desire, Once fame I did desire, I got them all, But soon lost them all as well. Now I don’t know what I require? Now I don’t know what I desire? I did take shelter under hatred’s name, Revenge became my life’s reason, my life’s aim. But finally my rage and anger were tamed, When along the way you came… You reminded me why we all were human, You made me see love, You made me see happiness, You made me see peace. You showed me how to cherish the simple joys of life, You showed me how to ignore the stormy days of life. You taught me the meaning of friendship, You shared with me the memorable moments of love You guided me with the power of faith And thus, I started climbing the ladder of what life was meant to be. I gained spirit; from my turmoil and dark ages, I did become free. But alas! When I reached out for your hand to take you along with me… I realized, you had surpassed me a lot in our journey. I stood th...

Heard about green marketing?

  Kabir: Hi Ramesh. I have to discuss an important matter with you. Could you please help me? Ramesh : Of course Kabir. What is it?  Kabir : I plan to begin an independent business concern of my own. But being an ecologically sensitive person myself, I wish to showcase my environmental concerns in my work too. Could you please advise me on how to do so? Ramesh : Simple! You can follow the concept of “ Green Marketing .” Kabir: What is “ Green Marketing ?”  Ramesh: G reen marketing is the marketing of products that are mostly not harmful to the environment. It includes many activities, like product conversion, changes to the production process, packaging changes, as well as innovations in advertising. It is also the marketing of products that are presumed to be environmentally safe. Thus green marketing incorporates a broad range of activities, including product modification, changes to the production process, packaging changes, as well as modifying advertisi...

A Clean India

    A CLEAN India:     A weekend,  The central hub of a city:    Scene Description:   A market place is completely crowded on a Sunday with different people visiting it to buy several products of their own respective choices. A boy has come with his father to the market to buy some household items.

He sees people spitting on the ground, throwing unextinguished cigarette butts recklessly and just disposing away bags of even some incomplete food items. He feels disgusted by seeing all this.

Then after both of them had finished eating, they went to the garbage bin to throw away the packets. The father careles...

It is a girl thing....

  A woman in today’s world has no boundaries or limitations. She is educated, she is bold and she even may be wiser than some of her male competitors. But she is still a woman, and nature imposes certain limitations on her bodily presence. No matter how much she advances in society, a lady still has to face her menstrual problems. What is it about?   A woman’s menstrual cycle more casually known as “periods”, occurs after every 28 days on an average. This  is required for the production of “ovocytes'', and for the preparation of the uterus for  pregnancy.  Accompanied with symptoms such as irritability and headaches, the core discomfort during the time of periods, is the occasional discharge of blood from a woman’s vagina. The initial stages of discomfort lead to adorning pads to avoid the seepage of blood and the consequent soiling of garments. A lot of inconvenience is caused at these times, causing deterrence to her concentration, both at work and at home. In...
