Minting money from your dream !

Gone are the days when coaching classes were run by the middle-aged former teacher down the road or your neighbour's daughter ran a tuition centre from a ramshackle room. Now it's as formal and organised sector as any other and is housed in a commercial building.A decade or two back the word coaching or tuition was an option for the weak students, but now Private academies that train students for entrance exams of the Indian Institutes of Technology and other prestigious engineering colleges mint Rs.100 billion ($2.30 billion) a year - an amount that can fund 30 to 40 new IITs, shows a study by an industry body.Why there is an urge to go to a coaching class ?

Arakshan ! Reservation is the main cause which gave a thrust to the coaching classes ,most of the students who are in reserve class lack in self esteem and self confidence as they know there is a stiff competition .Same with the general category students as they think they have to get better marks in competitive exam to join any course so they take shelter at coaching classes .


Parents also want the kid become an engineer so that they can command a respect in the society for this many take loans and admit there kids to coaching class as early as 8th standard and hamper their childhood .here the child is reminded every now and than that a huge sum of money is invested on him and he is expected to come out with flying colors in exams. 


India has over 12 million students in higher education but fewer than 350,000 faculty members.This uneven student teacher ratio force the country to categorize the education institutes and so we have less of quality institutions so coaching has become a requirement to get admission in these quality institutes or leave the country for higher studies to foreign.Talking about another anomaly in higher education about 80,000-90,000 students go abroad for higher studies, leading to a high foreign exchange outflow .If quality institutions are provided, a large number of students will stay back and contribute to the nation.


This coaching phenomena is too dangerous as there is coaching available for almost everything from pre nursery onwards .Value system is faded and competition has replaced it slowly and now it is high time that we look into this !

White or Red ! What is the color of cotton we wear ?

 Mani, 14, was beaten when she tried to chat with other children working in the cotton fields.“He scolded us with bad words and would strike us on the legs, back and shoulders,” Mani said. But she was powerless. The farmer had loaned her parents 20,000 rupees in return for four years of their daughter’s daily labour ,so that people like me and you can wear a cool shirt or trouser.


There are lots of children being bought,kidnapped and taken to cotton fields to work for 10 hours daily because cotton production is painstaking work that requires long hours of cleaning, seeding and hauling water to fields, then standing and individually cross-pollinating each flower by hand before finally plucking every bloom. Often, child workers suffer respiratory and other health problems caused by exposure to pesticides, extreme heat and physical stress. Some are also beaten or sexually abused by employers.The severity can be realized from the fact that until two years back the number of children engaged in this work was over 1.5 lakh. Parents of these children are paid some advance amount and what these children get later is a paltry amount like Rs 10 a day for toiling for hours together. They get food which is much better than what they get back at home. But studies by NGOs and others show that they are served very poor quality food and no education ofcourse!


Most child workers are Dalits, the bottom layer of India’s complex caste system, and among the world’s most exploited people. Which is all part of the problem.The main reason for this flourishing trade is poverty condition in the districts dominated by tribal population. These families have extremely low expectations, especially when it comes to educating girls who could be earning in the cotton fields.


Rajasthan police keeps a special check on children crossing into Gujarat. Village level task forces and children protection committees have been formed in bordering districts of Dungarpur, Banswara and Udaipur to check movement of children but all in vain as the checkposts doesn't have the staff and sometimes bribing the police is also too easy.


 The business is flourishing because of middle men who get handsome commission for bringing children to BT cotton fields. Taking advantage of backwardness of people, they keep lion share of the money they get for payment to children. In the distant land, there is none to help these children nor anyone to guide them, shouldn't we do something for these kids who almost give there blood and life for our cloths?

The main dam is 2800 ft. long and 35 ft. deep.  Said to be the pride of the City of Lakes of Udaipur, it is an artificial lake constructed by Maharana in north of Lake Pichola in 1678 and to the north-west of Udaipur.

"Happy Friendship day" to all you people From childhood days to Chennai days to now a days have a happy friendship day.It is said that from 1935 the first Sunday of August is proclaimed as the friendship day by the United States Congress .Today the commercial world have endorse the event to add a boost to the sales .




Well for me as usual every Sunday starts at 9 am as the hangover of Saturday is to high !  after b'fast a trip to a hangout where cluster of Friends gather as usual  we plan an outing for the day .each one is assigned with a job to be finished in an hour .bottles and packs are loaded and untamed we start our trip which ends near a stream as these are rainy days in this part of the globe.Sunday has transformed into a Funday .On a highway roadside dhaba Samosa and a cup of tea with showers all over some of us exploded the music and transformed that  Dhaba into a disc what a day .


Friends and friends all around the best part about picnics is that it really does help bond us together .For In our school days we neighbours use to picnic at a nearby garden with homemade stuff like pakoras etc it was a good get together exercise .
Leaving from the dhaba we started to the jharna recommended by one of us totally drenched and excited we reached the destination and BLAST the music onn ,took out the packs and the bottles and had snacks and cold drinks while some arranged for firewood and cow dung for the hand made delicacy dalbati churmaa .
With off and on showers the day was great and we friends  had great fun and enjoyed to the fullest till evening and made the Sunday memorable .

"दर्द सहेजो ,प्रेम बाटों"

आज आप और हम जहा कही व् जब कभी हो इस वाक्य का चलन काफी ज्यादा होने लगा है की "आजकल धरती पर पाप बहुत बढ़ गया है इसलिये यह हो रहा है वो हो रहा है | कभी किसी ने यह सोचने की जरुरत महसूस की है की यह क्यों और कैसे हो रहा है ?

"भय बिनु होए ना प्रीती गुसाई " तुलसी की इस चोपाई को लोगो ने सार्थक करने में कोई कसार नहीं छोड़ी | आज इंसान झूठ ,फरेब और मक्कारी का उपयोग करते हुए प्रभु भय के बारे मे ना सोच कर समाज उसका कुछ बिगाड़ पायेगा या नहीं ?क्या कोई काम रुक तो नहीं जायेगा ऐसा करने से ,कई जगहों पर दंड दे कर बच सकता हू या नहीं ? इस तरह की प्रवृति आम होचुकी है |

"फिर हम सही सहयात्री होंगेएक कांधा तुम होगेएक मैं ..... दर्द को हम बाँट लेंगे" !  इस कथन का आज भरपूर उपयोग हो रहा है, मेरी तरह हरकोई दर्द बाटने मे लगा हुआ है प्रेम, सद्भावना, मानवता आज जिंदिगी से कोसो दूर छूट गए सच कहा है, अगर मनुष्य अपना चेहरा ही गौर से देखे आंशिक प्रकाश में तो रुप कितना विकृत दिखाई देता है। इसलिए जीवन में प्रकाश का होना निहायत ही जरुरी है। जीवन में प्रकाश तभी रहेगा जब कथनी और करनी में अंतर नहीं होगा। तभी तन-मन-जीवन आलोकित होगा।

प्रकृति प्रदत्त उपहार समस्त जगत के लिये है बस आवश्यकता है उसे सहेजने की उसका आनंद लेने की।होड़ छोड़ कर सेवा सुश्रुता,कामना परे रख कर कर्म ,मोह का त्याग कर दान एव दर्द को सहेज कर उलहास बिखेरने से तृप्ति का वो सुखद अहसास स्वयं ही जीवन पर्यंत रहेगा और तभी मनुष्य जीवन सही मायने मे सार्थक होगा|

No proofs needed !

Perhaps not actually necessary but certainly beneficial for learning and growth is a bad phase in life and it can never be avoided .I personally feel that life is simply an examination and we are either a failure or success.
but the fact is, we cant judge as the content of life which determine this situation is too too blurred and it is difficult to make out what we have lost worth how much and what all we gained in the journey is really ! Also,who and how will we come to know when we have to analyze in life when we have everything you would think But may be the next moment have the bloody spirit and vigor to take away everything .


Energy is needed for each and every thought and from where we get it ? It is from the thought ,Yes if we are positive about our feature than nothing can stop us .Even the worse fear will bypass our mind .So vice versa same as "life and zeal " if we don't have the zeal or passion for anything life becomes stagnant and lethargic .


There are environments which sometimes fill positivity in life that's the reason why we go to a picnic ,movie or friends place on a weekend ,we recharge ourselves .Maybe by looking at others we get the feel of the positive stream and get the JOSH !


Talking about supernatural powers when I was a child i was fascinated with superheros like Phantom ,Saabu , Superman ETC and use to think that they are the forces behind this mother nature time passed someone told me that these superheros are our own creations and my faith in them got tarnished and God came into picture . And I believe he is the one ,no one knows from where ? so everyone have the faith in god whom they haven't seen.it doesn't  look strange that when we talk about anyone we ask for proofs and guarantees but nothing of such for the unknown force?
