All’s well that Ends well


Some people say that all good things must come to an end. If good things didn't come to an end, they wouldn't be good things. It means it's good for now but won't last forever. Like Ice cream, its good but it won't last forever. It melts or you eat it and it's gone. They would just be dull and boring things that just kept going on and on and on. 
Take music for example. Say you're listening to a really good song that you absolutely love. If it didn't end, you wouldn't be able to memorize the whole thing and sing it yourself because it would just be too long. Plus, if a song didn't end, you wouldn't be able to listen to it over and over again once it is finished because it won't finish. 
Another thing is that if the song did not end, you wouldn't be able to listen to other songs and see which one you like best because you're stuck with just one song.
Another reason for why good things must come to an end is because sometimes good things are bad. Like life and people.
Life is a good thing but if it didn't end, all the bad people in the world would still be alive which will make the lives of other people miserable. If life didn't end, Osama Bin Laden would still be alive, terrorizing the world. If life didn't end, Adolf Hitler would still be ruling Germany. If life didn't end, World War 1 would still be continuing. You see, the list could just go on and on.
Sometimes it's a good thing when good things come to an end, like life."ALL GOOD THINGS MUST COME TO AN END - There is an end to everything, to good things as well. 
Life is full of challenges and more we live more we face new events. Some pass easily and others not.  In other words, as they say that Every tide has its ebb! The world we live in is not perfect, and we will never ever find a world such as the perfect state which the philosopher Plato talked about. Life is full of challenges and the longer we live the more we face new events. So we should live life each and every moment because life is unpredictable.

A Silent Prayer


Sometimes, a tragedy hits you so hard, it knocks you back, leaving you out of breath, helpless flailing. This was somebody else's daughter. She could have been your sister or even mine….The outraged caused by the Delhi gang rape has manifested itself in the form of protests and rallies, as eve-teasing is rampant in our state capital too.
A Prayer Service cum Candle Light March was holded by Students' Oxygen Movement on the Doomsday, 21st Dec, 2012 in S.K Puri, Childrens' Park Patna for the speedy recovery of the Delhi Paramedical Student as well as for bringing about a much needed CHANGE in our system; in our society…so that we can become more HUMAN.
This Prayer Service Meet was attended by many school and college students; primarily from Missionary, Private as well as government run institutions. Noted educationists, teachers, principals, guardians and above all the common people as well joined this marathon service. The students were displaying placards which read “HUM TUMHARI SALAMATI KE LIYE PRARTHANA KERTE HAIN”. Everybody present there was joining in singing the prayer songs and hymns notably “ITNI SHAKTI HAME DENA DATA”. 
The atmosphere over there was raged with intense emotions, anguish and outburst among the people. Everybody was condemning the heinous activities that have been meted out against the “GIRLS” since times immemorial till this present moment. The highlight of this gathering was when everybody marched out on the road  and on the top of their voices once again raised their uproar and concern by proclaiming.. “WE WANT JUSTICE…HANG THE CULPRITS…JUSTICE DELAYED IS JUSTICE DENIED” and so on.
This historic meet was ended on the note that “This is not the end, this is just the BEGINNING. Its high time to bring about a drastic and much-needed change and for that WE need to be the CHANGE.”

Character Building


Character is the solid foundation on which a person’s entire life is based. History has, time and again, thrown the statistics at us. Character education presents life with context, inviting them to listen, share, explore, and reflect. Cultivating knowledge for purposeful living, students learn through literature, art, humanities and throughout the existing school curriculum the benefits and consequences of behavior.
Men of good character have been remarkably successful. Whether it was Thomas Edison whose inventions changed the world, or it was Abraham Lincoln who was president of the United States, or Gandhi the lone crusader of nonviolence, or Mother Theresa who chose to do social work they all had one thing in common- they were all people of character.
Character is the magic ingredient that sets you apart from the rest. Our character will determine our success and each of us has the ability and the potential to develop and strengthen our character.
Character is a potpourri of many qualities like honesty, integrity, dependability, diligence, loyalty, compassion, sincerity, attentiveness, determination, confidence, etc. All these traits and many more sum up one’s character.
Everyone has character. It is our character that defines who we are and what we will become. Some people have more fully developed, some qualities, which set them apart from the rest. While character has much to do with the mental and ethical traits that make a person, it actually refers to the unique qualities that are built into an individual’s life which establish his reaction despite his circumstances.
Although character might mean a lot of qualities, the fact is that all the qualities are kind of inter­related. If you are honest automatically you are more dependable, more responsible, and more conscientious. When our overall character improves, it translates into success in all the areas of our lives.
Often we tend to disregard the direct influence character has on our successes or failures. When you consider the individual qualities that come together to make ones character then it becomes easier to understand how character affects our lives. If you are honest at work, it will directly relate to your dependability which in turn will translate into better work being sent your way. If you are discreet, then people will be keener on sharing their knowledge with you.
If you are diligent, better offers will come your way. If you are compassionate, you will receive the goodwill and the blessings of both your peers and your friends.
The youth of today live in troubled times. The stuff that is dished out in the name of entertainment and news fills the minds of the young with all the wrong things. These are tough times and children are often weak and give into peer pressure. The youth of today face grave problems such as substance abuse, gang activity, school dropouts, vandalism, juvenile delinquency, teen pregnancy and youth violence. These are all moral issues having much to do with our ethics.
There are no easy solutions. If any kind of long-term solution is hoped to be achieved we will have to go to the grass roots—the core values. Children who have strong sense of values will be under lesser pressure to succumb because there is already support system and it is not outside them, it is within. Core values give them the ability, the courage to stand up for what they believe in.
Character is the tree and habits are the seeds you sow to reap it. If you invest in good habits, you will have reaped character and if you invest in character you will reap destiny.

Hard Work Vs Talent


Success is the goal of each of us. Success is a possibility for all of us; however, the secret to reach it has a dual face: talent and genius on one side, ambition and persistence on the other. Talent and genius are wealth that we should wisely employ. Ambition and persistence are motors we should wisely use. Success is a combination of innate talent and persistence. When one of the component is absent, the result cannot be achieved.
Hard work beats talent in many a occasions. See talent can take you so far no  matter  anywhere you want to go. It is hard to find someone with either your skills or your abilities. So talent opens a lot of doors for the person that has it. Most people that have talent or an unbelievable skill feel that they do not have to put as much work in or time as a person without talent.
Which is not true because there is always room for improvement know matter how good you are and in order to improve it takes hard work. A person that works hard that does not have talent can go farther then someone with talent. A good hard dedicated worker is very hard to find. When someone is willing to put off time to improve and fully dedicate their self to something that they love, they can also take it farther.
Along the way you will start to develop some kind of talent, which is known as hard work. When you are learning or you master a skill or talent it takes hard work and dedication to be able to control your gift. Hard work is a talent so with hard work you can conquer anything at any degree. A lot of people (coaches, teachers…etc) do want someone that has talent or want somebody that is use to the skill. It does not matter if you have no talent at all. Someone with hard working tendencies can out work someone with talent any day.
If talent works hard that is even greater than just hard work because now talent can now go above and beyond it means to do things that not even a hard worker can do. Without hard work you can’t really do anything but with hard work you can do anything you set your mind to that even means being one of the most talented people in the world.

This Diwali Say LESS to Crackers


Festivals like Diwali has own uniqueness- “it’s a festival of lights” apart from mythological stories, God’s worship, sweets and gifts what we look forward is crackers!
For most people lighting of firecrackers is the highlight of Diwali. Brighter the sparkles, louder the noise the greater the thrill!! In fact to many of us, these aesthetic forms of light seem so appropriate and most essential when   celebrating the 'Festival of Lights'. 
But little do people realize that in our increasingly populated and polluted cities, the temporary joy of watching the firecrackers is soon replaced by the intense air pollution caused by these. The toxic substances used in the firecrackers release toxic gases that are harmful to the health of all living beings. The high level of noise generated by the crackers cause immense suffering to birds and animals. The noise from firecrackers has a more deleterious effect on animals who have a more sensitive sense of hearing than humans. Pets such as dogs and cats, as well as stray cattle in and around cities are most affected. 
Besides, Diwali crackers are dreaded by the sick and the ailing. Excessive noise pollution caused by crackers lead to hearing loss, high blood pressure, heart attack and sleeping disturbances. Sudden exposure to loud noise could cause temporary deafness or permanent relative deafness.
Another criticism is that smog caused by firecrackers may be harmful to inhale and can cause difficulty for drivers because of reduced visibility.
Sadly, few of us realise that the firecrackers used on Diwali are mostly made by very young children. Since the substances being handled are extremely toxic many of these child labourers get sick and die in their early teenage years.
Diwali with a difference has been the agenda of various schools for a long time. This year, Students’ Oxygen Movement decided to celebrate Diwali in a distinct way by organizing a Road show spreading out the noble message to all as “ This Diwali say LESS to Crackers”. Students from various Government and Private schools participated in this program. They displayed placards depicting the message of having a less air and noise pollution  free Diwali. The students were very enthusiastic regarding this program and they vehemently promised to follow the same principle. The students also raised their voice to make the Diwali green to save the environment from getting polluted by bursting of fire crackers.         
 If we want to change our world, we should carry out the step, which should be good for our environment as well as our country. Since we ourselves are the only cause of pollution, only we can reduce it. It is we who can change the world and can make it a beautiful and better place to live in.

Our Rights


Human rights are rights inherent to all human beings, whatever our nationality, place of residence, sex, national or ethnic origin, color, religion, language, or any other status. We are all equally entitled to our human rights without discrimination. These rights are all interrelated, interdependent and indivisible.
Universal human rights are often expressed and guaranteed by law, in the forms of treaties, customary international law, general principles and other sources of international law. International human rights law lays down obligations of Governments to act in certain ways or to refrain from certain acts, in order to promote and protect human rights.  
All human rights are indivisible, whether they are civil and political rights, such as the right to life, equality before the law and freedom of expression; economic, social and cultural rights, such as the rights to work, social security and education, or collective rights, such as the rights to development and self-determination, are indivisible, interrelated and interdependent. The improvement of one right facilitates advancement of the others. 
All States have ratified at least one, and 80% of States have ratified four or more, of the core human rights treaties, reflecting consent of States which creates legal obligations for them and giving concrete expression to universality Some fundamental human rights norms enjoy universal protection by customary international law across all boundaries and civilizations.
Human rights are inalienable. They should not be taken away, except in specific situations and according to due process. For example, the right to liberty may be restricted if a person is found guilty of a crime by a court of law.  
Human rights are international norms that help to protect all people everywhere from severe political, legal, and social abuses. 
 Human rights entail both rights and obligations. States assume obligations and duties under international law to respect, to protect and to fulfill human rights. The obligation to respect means that States must refrain from interfering with or curtailing the enjoyment of human rights. The obligation to protect requires States to protect individuals and groups against human rights abuses. The obligation to fulfill means that States must take positive action to facilitate the enjoyment of basic human rights. At the individual level, while we are entitled our human rights, we should also respect the human rights of others.  
All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.

Festivities Around Us


India is one of the most diverse countries in the world when it comes to culture and religions. As a result, the celebration of holidays and festivals, whether traditional or religious, has always been an important part of Indian culture. Indians enjoy celebrating their differences and sharing their traditions with others and due to the variety of different groups in India, there is a festival celebrated most days out of the year in some part of the country. As diverse as India is, there are three national holidays that are celebrated everywhere and by everyone and several religious holidays that are celebrated by so many people they are considered to be public holidays. Employers are entitled to give their employees the day off on these days and children have the day off from school.
The Hindu celebrations of Diwali, Holi, Pongal and Dussehra are the most popular religious holidays in India and therefore are considered by the government to be public holidays.
Festivals are an intrinsic part of the Indian way of life, a golden thread that runs through its cultural fabric. Given the size of India, the vast diversity of its people, religions, cultures, languages and terrain, it is not surprising that there are a variety of festivals being celebrated all the year round.
Festivals all over the country celebrate the coming of the seasons and harvest time, aspects of fertility and renewal all are closely linked to many of these festivals. Festivals are the occasions when houses are cleaned and whitewashed. They occur at different times and vary in their celebrations.

The Epic Saga of Dusshera


India is the land of distinct culture and colorful festivals. Each festival in India has its own meaning and purpose of celebration. Dussehra is a very popular Hindu festival, which marks the defeat of Ravana by Lord Rama. Dussehra also symbolises the triumph of warrior Goddess Durga over the buffalo demon, Mahishasura. 
According to the great Indian epic, Ramayana, Ravana was a great scholar but a demon. He was the king of Lanka. He was killed on this day by Rama. Bengalis believe that Durga came on the earth on this day the meaning of Durga is victory of good over evil. We celebrate Dussehra so that our evils are destroyed and goodness triumphs. It connotes ten evils, which man should conquer as ‘Duss’ means ten and ‘hara’ means defeat. 
The 'Ramlila' - an enactment of the life of Lord Rama, is held during the nine days preceding Dussehra. On the tenth day (Dussehra or Vijay Dasami), larger than life effigies of Ravana, his son and brother - Meghnadh and Kumbhakarna are set to fire.
The theatrical enactment of this dramatic encounter is held throughout the country in which every section of people participates enthusiastically.
In burning the effigies the people are asked to burn the evil within them, and thus follow the path of truth and goodness, bearing in mind the instance of Ravana, who despite all his might and majesty was destroyed for his evil ways.
The effigies of the demon kings, Ravana, Kumbhkarna and Meghnath are burnt. The play of Ramayana is staged and fairs are arranged all over the country. People feast and distribute sweets. The children wear new clothes and get toys and sweet.
In some communities on this day, sisters put a tilak on their brother’s forehead. They pray for their welfare.  Businessmen worship their account books on this day. Dussehra not only brings joy but also inspires us to win over our bad instincts by good deeds and pious thoughts.
Dussehra also known as Vijayadashami is a 10 day observance of ceremonies and rituals. It falls in the month Ashwin or Kartik as per Hindu calendar. This festival is celebrated in the remembrance of Lord Rama’s victory over Ravana and also celebrated as the day when Goddess Durga killed the Demon Mahishasura. It is celebrated as a victory of good over evil. Dussehra is celebrated throughout the country in various manners. The celebration starts with navratri and is concluded on the tenth day which is Dussehra. This festival is also considered as the end of summer season and beginning of winters.
Dussehra is an important festival for Hindus not only because of its religious significance but also to reminds us about the victory of good over evil. It reminds us of the good deeds of Lord Rama whose morality is an example for all mankind to lead life in an honorable way. He was obedient to his parents; hence even after being the most loved Price and deserving to be the king of Ayodhya he chose to fulfill the wish of his father and went away for 14 years of banishment. This festival teaches us to be patient and live life with a code. To be strong to withstand the right path and to do what is right. 
In Bengal this day is celebrated as Durga Pooja. Throughout Navratri celebrations take place and on the final day Goddess Durga is worshiped who killed the mighty Mahishasura and freed the mankind from his fear. The statues and idols of Durga are submerged into waters. It is believed that Begalis have embraced Durga as their daughter and once a year she visits their homes. Then on Vijayadashami she leaves for her husband’s home.
Dussehra Celebrations: Dussehra can also be understand as "Dasa-Hara", that means the cutting of the ten heads of Ravana.

Proper Utilization & Conservation of Resources


Proper utilization and management of nature and its resources is termed as conservation. International Union for conservation of Natural and Natural Resources (IUCN) define conservation as rational use of environment to provide a high quality of living for the mankind. Conservation is essential for life support system like air, water, land, flora & fauna, biodiversity and ecosystems.
What are we doing to protect our surroundings? Garbage heaps are increasing and disposal of waste seems an alarming task. People are becoming insensitive towards plants and animals thereby harming our ecosystem.
As human beings, what have we done to protect our environment? Do you know why we need to conserve our wildlife?  We must make a conscious effort to conserve the world's plants and animals. Plants are essential for our own survival. Plants use the sun's energy to make food—a process called photosynthesis.
Therefore plants are the first important link in the food chain of which humans also form a part. During photosynthesis, oxygen is released and oxygen is vital for the existence of life itself.
Animals need plants in order to survive, but plants also need animals. Animals and plants are therefore delicately bound together. The removal of even one species of animal/plant can drastically alter the ecosystem. Isn't this frightening?
Natural resources are conserved due to economic as their natural beauty and importance to local culture. Preserving biodiversity is essential for ecosystems to respond flexibly to damage or change.
Our own survival may be threatened if we cause too much disruption to the natural processes that occur on this Earth.  A further reduction in rainfall will increase desert areas.
We need to preserve our wildlife as well. We use many plants and ani­mals to supply us with food, materials, chemicals, etc. If we continue to exploit these species to a point where they cannot replenish themselves, they will no longer be available to us.
The measures like proper drainage, storage, use, flood control can be taken for conservation of water. Energy conservation require the use of renewable energy resource and alternative energy resource and in household energy can be conserved by turning down thermostats, switching off unnecessary lights, insulating homes and using less hot water.
Forests are one of the most important natural resources that have been gifted to mankind for their sustained existence on earth. They provide us with huge amounts of tangible and intangible benefits, without which indeed, all life, less to say human life, would fall under the risk of extinction. Hence, it is vital for us to realize this importance of forest cover, conserve them, and ultimately work towards a sustainable way to maintain our forests and meet our needs at the same time.
Gradually if we manage to destroy most of the world's animals and plants, the Earth will become barren. For a moment, let us stop being selfish. Do we have the right to destroy animals and plants which have as much right as us, humans, to share this planet?
All life on Earth, be it humans, animals or plants, is the product of millions of years of evolution. This tiny planet is the only one we know of on which life exists. Therefore, we need to learn to co-exist with the species which have evolved with us, and take active steps to ensure their survival.
Caring for natural resources and promoting their sustainable use is an essential response of world community to ensure its own survival and well being". Think and do the eco friendly exercises in life.

Gandhi- Father of our nation


The Father of our nation,Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was born on October 2, 1869 in Porbandar, Gujarat. He is called 'Mahatma', meaning Great Soul because of his greatness.
Gandhi Ji helped free the Indian people from British rule through nonviolent resistance, therefore he is honored by Indians as the father of the  Nation.
More than once Gandhi used fasting to impress upon others the need to be nonviolent. India was granted independence in 1947, and partitioned into India and Pakistan. Rioting between Hindus and Muslims followed. Gandhiji had been an advocate for a united India where Hindus and Muslims lived together in peace.
When he attempted to claim his rights as a British subject he was abused, and soon saw that all Indians suffered similar treatment. Gandhi stayed in South Africa for 21 years attempting to secure rights for Indian people.
On January 13, 1948, at the age of 78, he began a fast with the purpose of stopping the bloodshed. After 5 days the opposing leaders pledged to stop the fighting and Gandhiji broke his fast. Twelve days later a Hindu fanatic, Nathuram Godse who opposed his program of tolerance for all creeds and religion assassinated him.
Mahatma Gandhi’s life is a monument to the triumph of spirit over flesh, a living witness to the victory of the divine over the base nature of man. A continuous exercise of self-restraint and discipline, along with deep prayer and an invincible faith in the Divine, enabled him to successfully resist all kinds of temptations, overcome all obstacles and gain full mastery over himself.
Gandhiji’s life was dedicated to the ideals of Truth, Non-violence and Love. 'The Bhagavad Gita is my mother,' he once said; and the name of Sri Rama was his shield. He was the architect of India's freedom and one of the greatest men of this century. 
There are 6 principles that Gandhi followed:
Truth: fight your own inner demons, fear and insecurities. Everyone is unique in this world and therefore, one should not compare with others. Be honest with yourself of who you are and what you want. If you think there is something to fix, then fix it.
Nonviolence: control your temper and also your thoughts. What we think, we become and therefore if you always are thinking of hurting someone or feeling extremely angry at someone, those are the vibes you'll be giving to others. Best way to be nonviolent is to think positive and believe that whatever happens, it is for a good reason.
Vegetarianism: not everyone can resist meat, but you can control your consumption. For health reasons, avoiding eating a lot of red meat is a good idea.
Brahmacharya: many of us want to get married and have children or be intimate with someone. Therefore, becoming a brahmacharya might not be possible. However, you could reduce thinking of the opposite sex as an object. You could also wait to be intimate with someone till after marriage.
Simplicity: life in the western countries tends to be quite fast. Do you need the latest fashion clothing or can you wear the clothes you already have?  Simplicity doesn't mean foregoing all your desires, but not buying something right away or something you don't really need. Simplicity also means being happy with what you are given and have.
Faith: believing that there is someone or something higher than you. You don't need to believe in God, but believing that everyone is equal and you are no less or more than someone else. It is knowing your values, ethics and morals. Faith is not following others blindly especially when someone else is doing something that your heart says is not right. 
May the Mahatma’s light of love illuminate the hearts of nations and individuals! May his spirit bless us all with the vision and strength to realize in our everyday life all his lofty ideals of truth, purity, non-violence and faith in the Divine!

Life is full of challenges


 Life is full of challenges and more we live more we face new events. Some pass easily and others not. Therefore people are divided into groups: one works hard and exerts great efforts and the other one gives up rapidly.              The world we live in is not perfect, and we will never ever find a world such as the perfect state which the philosopher Plato talked about.
 Every day there will be things that make us cry or feel sad about our selves. So people who will stand in front of the difficulties which they face, they will be able to improve them selves and let their dreams come true. Such people have been known during history, like prophet Mohammad peace be upon him, who tolerated a lot to spread the Islamic religion, and the Virgin Mary. In addition to that we can also mention Fat people in the biggest loser. The efforts which they exert are up normal and super.
This proverb also signifies many lessons, if one read between the lines. It emphasizes that nothing is permanent and only changes are constant, etc. Thus, this proverb teaches all great morals like a dew drop that reveals a big tree adjacent to it!
Many great leaders had a sad past. And they managed to climb die steps to glory. It is one’s hope that keeps one towards reaching the goal post. India’s non-stop stir against the British imperialism at last fetched independence.
When their is a low spot, the high spot is sure to follow. When there is bright side, it is likely to take a different turn. This cycle of life style will continue to everyone, whether rich or poor, educated or uneducated. 
Just believe in this..... 
Life is a challenge - meet it Life is a gift - accept it Life is a sorrow - over come it
Life is a tragedy - face it
Life is a mystery - unfold it Life is a opportunity - take it
Life is a promise - complete it
Life is a struggle - fight it
Life is a goal - achieve it
Life is love - love it
Life is adventurous- have fun Life is a duty - perform it Life is a game - out smart it
Life is a beauty - praise it
Life is great- make something good of it
So life is a celebration –eat, laugh and do meditation.
