Changing the world part -1

So here it goes....Yes changing the world is not that difficult...it's a few easy steps, some conscious decisions and the will to not flow with the rest of the world into the grime...It also depends on what do you want to change. Since this is the first update on changing the world, we will stick to the minutest concerns that afflict us today. It's going to be in point form so that you one remembers at least something:
1. You eat a chocolate and where do you throw the wrapper? On the road - off course, that's the biggest dustbin our government has made anyways; it's open and broad and even has pot holes for you to fill in with garbage. Don't worry about what you are throwing - peels, paper, plastic, your spit or shit , the roads are black and grey to camouflage what is thrown. In case the road is being used to travel and drive, we always have an alternative for the dear citizens of India...our very own open drain system. Mix the rubbish with dirty rain water to create the fragrant slush that chokes the drains underneath. And remember never throw it in a dustbin (that is if you find one:)), or carry it in your bag or in a pocket to throw it at home. Only sissies do that. You the champ should always use the open government area provided to you.
2. Never switch off the AC...why should you suffer even a single minute of warmth or sweat especially when the weather outside is as high as 25 degree Celsius. In fact if you have the money put it in every room, and keep it switched on till the CFCs being released from it make the biggest hole in the Ozone layer. Who cares about the Ozone anyways except for the pub that serves the cheapest beer!
3. To move on from high end things to the basic common man needs - bijli - paani...remember it is your right to use it and waste it. So what if the water keeps dripping from the tap. The musical drops from your dripping tap are analogous to the sweetest chimes of China. And forget about wasting water, a better way to have fun is to always leave your lights switched on. never switch off the lights in your college or office. You aren't paying the bill so why should you put in the effort? Your careless attitude anyways suits the chilled out life that you lead, which might not be so in sometime when there is no electricity and water to waste.

The point is that everyone thinks, the world ending phenomenon is too far away (yes even a 2012 could not convince us that the world is ending), which is absolutely true, however what is not far away are some of the comforts of life which we take for granted now being diminished and extinct.

So the mantra for this life :
1. Throw it only in the dustbin
2. Switch off when you do not need it
2. Turn off the drip when the water's done using with

Ciao for today....think about what I have to say and don't just go with the flow...try to change it. Only You can!

I 'm back:)

So I am back..off course my last written word of checking on my accounts twice a week has not been met...so I am not a convert yet...but somehow..things have changed for me..New year - hopefully, new me...So what are my new year resolutions...I want to do something; yes really last few ears have been long, hard working however there is no real satisfaction...have I touched a heart? No. have I made myself happy? No. Have I changed the world? Definitely No...so it's time to pick up the strands and start tying them. Well all this spirit in me is inspired by a few heart warming events...which maybe I will elaborate on another day...so here come my New Year Resolutions...like everyone else's ..Hopefully putting it in writing will help me remember it and work towards them too...

1. Lose weight...!!! That's everyone;\'s New Year Resolution except for the size Zeroes roaming around me and on TV

2. Get a life...Seriously who doesn't want one...but somehow amidst the routine of work and eating, my life has gone missing...maybe I need to start looking at the things I always wanted to do and actually do it too

3. Stop working so hard...c'mon everyone needs a break and I definitely need one. For once I do not want to pester my brains about all the pending items at work...I want a weekend where in I dont even think about opening my laptop and gearing up for the next week...I want to enjoy my lunch at work...and not think about the PPT I have to make for the next meeting. off course after this my company might throw me out!

And off course I want to change the world:) Seriously Guys..It's time I show the world my true colours...How 'm I going to do it? Well I have a few plan...uopdate on changing the world the next time:)

First day on the Blog

Well lot's of things happening...for one I have suddenly forayed into the online world...I have checked my accounts whether they be my personal accounts or social networking twice this week which is a big jump from once in a YEAR...I guess the pressure in office finally needs to be released somewhere and what better place than the internet..which just seems to have the largest capacity for all kinds of information...it's like one big gossip churner...keeps nothing to imagination...Recently read an article that Apple prefers using print ads in glossy magazines rather than the internet ...and still manage to create a wow factor...which seems strange ..as in it's been almost a year since I have picked up a glossy magazine...as in who reads India Today or even Femina these days...and I heard that Reader's Digest is going Bankrupt..I guess they need to have an online version soon...But I miss the time, when you just had to go pick up a magazine and start reading it, flip through pages, skip them you if you don't like them ..Now I am dependent on the internet connection, pages, and waiting for items to download.... A colleague of mine was actually thinking of an i-book, where in you could flip through pages, underline, hear the rustle of a page turning ..and the likes...and I was like wow...that would be great...but somehow the fun of curling up in your bed with a hard copy cannot beaten by an intuitive book...For me books have always been good friends..they are there when no one else is there to talk to you or to entertain...they open a world of imagination, fascination and mystery..they teach you things that one cannot experience easily in the real world. Jumping from the internet to books...and now back to the internet...heard it's quite addictive..let's hope the addiction works for me too...right now I am not a convert...
