Its rightly said "illiteracy is the most common problem of the most unintelligent literate!!!"
Today, we are merely surviving on what is called the high tech era, a time so much violent and so much filled of outburst, anger, criticism and annoyance that we hardly ponder and look over what Mahatma Gandhi stood for us.
He was a true educationist in strictest sense. Someone who left his career, his future, his family and stood for everything that today seems so much frivolous.
Our question is, whether this attitude can be changed? Can we start on with loving everyone we meet, obliterating our personal grudges, our feuds? Has the education of then and now so much changed that now we don't even trust ourselves.
Society is surely moving from bad to worse.
The suicides in Vidarbha and Nandigram, have become a common phenomenon.
We may even see the Chief Minister making fun of issues as much. Is this the morality and ethics left in us? Does being good lead us to the grave? Can there be any change?
What will happen when we have huge impactful names, all solid and sagacious ones making everyone really worship ourselves? There lies no answer to these.
When you just think of donating a one rupee coin to a beggar, when you just close your window on the small child selling you old magazines, when you rebuke your little maid, you are not a human anymore. Something is dead in you. Maybe the you in you. The answer is in a pause. Will time change? The very moment you call them "them" and you "we"you are widening the gap in between. There so much to change in the society but the question is whether you can change something in you?

we have been living with this status quo which is of course deplorable, for ages now.
this very fact proves it that we are just alive bodies with dead souls
we dont question the sysytem, dont demand our rights...
Today the thing which is dead wihin us is the morel values and that can be bring about within us through education .Today we are totaly selfcenterd and we don't care about others. So if we want to change it than first of all we need to change the present education system.
poeple today are so desirious for success that they are ready to achieve it by hook or even by crook. nothing else matters to them in this fast paced world except themselves. who has the time to listen to a needy poor man when waiting even for a second could make a person lose so many opportnities? i think ppl today are so busy getting their lives on a normal track that they've started ignoring their responisblities as humans. i'd just like to ask them to relax a bit and understand the fact that no one in this world can survive without one another, so it's out duty to support others, if we wanna be supported in the fututre by them -menka
eyes of stone will always haunt us
. they r dead, dead with touches of eternity in them, encompassing all the human emotions that we have
thats the similar case with what human spirit in dead in us!!!
only if we could be alive again to live n breathe!!1
r death is defined by the fact that we are dead , ie, inactive towards everything in life.
what is happening around us? we the children every where treated as machines. I ask why? if we don't study for 5 hrs we have to suffer in our home? if we use our own creativity and write something else other than what teacher has said to remember,OUR MARKS GONE! Who are these big people around us who try to teach us manners and morality without knowing any? Teachers are the second name of god.And today human being use this name to make money only.....PLZ,PLZ,PLZ
Don't spoil our life,
Don't spoil the future of INDIA,
Don't spoil the society,
Don't spoil yourself!
Because if u do bad today to us,
U only will pay for it tommorow!
until and unless we give birth to the soul and essence which is somehwere dead in us, we cannot expect changes, transformations and implementations. Rome was not built in one day. so we need more hands, eyes and ears to support us in this revolution.
i think people are so much indulged in their own family,job,children....
they r not even left with a mind
which even bothers thinking beyond these :(
