What NEXT????/
I am so disappointed and dishearted with everything that is going around in my country. I really want to do something but i feel helpless...i feel useless...Is there anything i can do?Can i make a difference?I believe that the answer to all my queries is a YES...but i really lack a path..i lack a roadmap on which i can prod. Can anyone please help me find a way in which i can do something.I am not a LPG dealer, nor do i deal with petroleum products.I am not even involved in the strikes around the country.I dont work in the government offices neither am i involved in making plans and policies.I am just an ordinary citizen fighting for my survival amidst so many problems engulfing the country.There is scarcity of everything in the country except for the incessant strikes and bandhs which are quite a common phenomenon,but sadly these bandhs will not be able to fetch us the food...but nobody seems to understand this.Bandhs are opposed with another bandh, which again is opposed by another and the loop continues.Like every citizen,I too keep thinking and thinking but i hardly get any positive vibes after all that is happening.I do not have answer to this one.Anyone Interested to answer-What Next?????

This is one of my fav Songs by Kelly Clarkson
Grew up in a small town
And when the rain would fall down
Id just stare out my window
Dreaming of what could be
And if Id end up happy
I would pray
Trying hard to reach out
But when I tried to speak out
Felt like no one could hear me
Wanted to belong here
But something felt so wrong here
So I pray
I could breakaway
Ill spread my wings and Ill learn how to fly
Ill do what it takes til I touch the sky
Ill make a wish
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I wont forget all the ones that I love
Ill make a wish
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Wanna feel the warm breeze
Sleep under a palm tree
Feel the rush of the ocean
Get onboard a fast train
Travel on a jet plane, far away (I will)
And breakaway
Buildings with a hundred floors
Swinging around revolving doors
Maybe I dont know where theyll take me but
Gotta keep moving on, moving on
Fly away, breakaway
Ill spread my wings
And Ill learn how to fly
Though its not easy to tell you goodbye
I gotta take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I wont forget the place I come from
I gotta take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway, breakaway, breakaway

Life's Little Treasures
I might sound very philosophical on this one but I have this urge to let go what I am feeling at the moment. All their lives people run after so many things; money, possessions, a decent job, an attractive remuneration, a penthouse, a Mercedes, a luxurious life; to sum up the expectations are most of the times materialistic. No matter how much we talk of our detachment from these luxuries, our life, at one point, gets stuck to them. Yes, people do come over it, because sooner or later, we do realize that life is not just about having in abundance all these things. May be I am too young to comment on what is important in life and what is not so important. However, from what I have learnt and seen so far, having a comfortable life is not mere possession of material goods.
For me, simple things are pleasurable. My niece waiting for me to get her a candy bar makes me feel so important; the feeling is so good. The moments when I can just let go off everything and curl up in my blanket with a book by my side is so very precious to me. Getting the chance to be with the closest friends on weekends rejuvenates and prepares for me the coming week. I cherish the moments when I can just forget the whole world and visit a place all on my own, or just browse the shops trying on the weirdest of clothes I would never even think of purchasing.
Well, financial security is always important. However, earning lots and lots of money is not the prior agenda of my life. I just want my life to be a little better than what it is today….and I can be satisfied with what I have. I would want life’s little treasure always shower on me…I hope it does happen….Amen!!
