Reaching for the Stars

Everyone wants to be successful today. We are living in a world where everyone wants to be successful at any cost. Are we ready to pay the cost for success? These are some questions that cross my mind while looking at the youth today. It is frightening.

In a world where everyone is driven by the desire for money, success and fame. Are we ready to do anything to achieve it? To highlight the condition of Indian economy today, whether it is Coalgate or The Kanda case, wrong decisions were taken on account of greed. In today's time it is important to be successful, powerful and well known. However equally important is to have your integrity intact.

'Yes i succeeded but i don't feel happy about it', is a condition alot of youth witness today. Its important to reach for the stars, however its more important to keep the star alive within you.

Searching for gratitude

A friend once told me' it doesn't cost to be kind.' There was a whole debate going on in my mind if it doesn't cost, then why are we not kind? I wish there was a price tag attached to kindness, atleast we would be in a position to buy it.

Times have really changed, everything is taken for granted. If you look at democracy, it is taken for granted, comforts taken for granted, relations taken for granted and even life is taken for granted. The attitude today is if i have it, it is fair otherwise unfair.

I miss those genuine thank you which were the most precious gifts to receive.The Britishers did an amazing job by inventing these magical words.Its works like a jaadu ki jaapi, in a age where even a hug is a style statement and not a i like you statement.

A new term is evolving in marketing known as flash mob.It is when a group of people assemble in a public place to perform a dance or any small act to spread happiness or a social message. Will we have to resort to this to spread happiness?

Something that was natural has become processed and packaged. My advice - thank for all the small things in life because they ultimately become big and spread it like a viral which gets 1 million clicks.
