Heal the world, make it a better place.

Flipping through a magazine with pages dedicated to a handful of good citizens who were brave enough to slide out of their comfort life and dedicated their whole being for a higher cause...who believe in Joy of Giving, I realised how ugly the models posing for a cloths brand or a fairness cream seemed comparatively. Beauty is truly skin deep.

It got me thinking, why we can’t plan our weekends off work doing something for not-so-privileged. May be a visit to an orphanage or an old age home or may be volunteer helping people in need and make a small but a long term contribution. We spend countless hours on what movie to watch or which place to eat or where to go for a vacation. We spend loads on trivial selfish pursuits, why not do something for someone in need and get the unspoken satisfaction that we hope to achieve at any other place.

We do not take seconds calling a friend to tell him/her about a sale in town, but never to talk about finding a place to donate our old but good to use clothes.

My heart goes out to those who, in some way, no matter how small, make this world a better place to live.

Lets be the change we want to see!

Keeping negativity at bay..

There is something about negativity, the more you let it affect you, the more it will enter your life. It will clog every pore and seep in every vein of your system. Why do people concentrate so much on what's bad or immoral or waste their time on useless chatter? Why don’t we open our eyes and see how beautiful things still are? While cribbing about the people and things around us, we miss out on some of the most beautiful moments that life has to offer. We can either crib about the broken road behind our house or raise our eyes a little and appreciate the shades in the sky while the sun sets.

Even humour has gone to a different level. Today we laugh out loudest over the people we supposedly care about most, degrading and humiliating them. There are few who are as capable of cracking jokes on someone as lightly as they take it on themselves. But is laughing at others really that funny? Aren’t we actually pushing away some of our dearest people in the process? Honestly, it’s laughing with them that contributes to d real fun. Nothing like brightening someone’s day with a genuine compliment than putting them off by a sarcastic remark to gauge attention of the herd.
