Education is business

Education has become a business. The fees for an MBBS degree and engineering have increased manifolds that it has become a distant dream for the common man .Now a common man can only hope to become an engineer or a doctor.

The talent and merit has given way to money and power. The minority quotas introduced are being sold to the highest bidder. Only people with money can dream to be a doctor or an engineer

The government and judiciary has to intervene in order to make education affordable to meritorious students. There is a realistic possibility that ,becoming doctors, will be a distant dream for meritorious students.

In turn these students who pass out, charge exorbitant charges as doctors increasing the healthcare costs.

Education and healthcare should not become a business it should be a social endeviour.

To Serve:The highest ideal

Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it,
live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, 
be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. 
This is the way to success.-Swami Vivekananda

India’s sole lies in its villages and if the villages are destroyed ,

the nation decays,its culture and its vibrancy is lost.

If the nation has to prosper, its villages have to be preserved.

If the villages are self reliant, the culture retains and the nation 

prospers and there is happiness around.

The major source of  livelihood for the villages is agriculture.

And the failure of one crop often leads to starvation and 

farmer suicides.Many villages still do not have access to 

clean drinking water and electricity. The picture of healthcare 

and sanitation is also glim.The infant mortality rate is very alarming.

These villages need to be preserved in its entirety. They have 

to be made self sufficient in all respects such that there is no 

need for migration of people from villages to cities.Only then 

can the nation retain its essence and prosper.

There has to be a doctor in each village,villages need to have 

access to clean drinking water and toilets.Villages need to be 

skilled in alternate professions like sewing ,carpentry,pumbing,

construction so that lack of rainfall or crop failure do not rob 

them of their livelihood.

Shree Mata Amritanandamayi Devi, an epitome of experience 

and embodiment of compassion, though her project Amrita Serve

 is trying to build gaps in 101 villages all over India .Amrita Serve 

has adopted these villages with the aim to make each of them self
reliant.There have been committees of villagers made consisting of
women as well as youth in order to propel the activities,be it
skill transfer or solar powered electricity.

The project also provides students of Amrita and volunteers 

with an opportunity to serve in turn bridging the gaps and 

also leading to effective innovations.

The mission of the project is to preserve the essence of India 
by making villages self reliant by empowering the villagers

Criminalization of Sex

Prostitude(n):A lady who sells her body to those who have sold their morals.

There is a increase in crime rates against women in India in the recent times.

I think there are supposed to be proper measures that will make an effective change in the society and bring a stop to crime rates against women. I think judges, MP’s, MLA’s should start writing on measures they intent to take to stop crimes against women. In

India everything works undertable form therefore to bring daylight to women should be the first measure.

I would say India should do well to learn from Sweden and criminalize buying of sex i.e. punish men who buy sex .This method adopted in Sweden has led to decline and has put an end to sex trade of women and children. This has also reduced crime rates against women and children.A special fund should be established for prostitutes who want to get out of the trade. The police should be provided with intensive training to handle the women involved.Also the people who recruit, transport and the hosts  should be punished heavily.

I think in India, prostitution cannot and should not be legalised as this would only be adding to crimes against women and be counterproductive.

The patriarchal system should not stop us from saving our women and children.

Rahul Dravid should be India’ s new coach

              “A coach is someone who can give correction without causing resentment.”  -John Wooden

Indian batsmen seems  to have lost concentration and their technique seems to have been deteriorating  which was very much evident  in the test series vs England. There way to come out of the poor form  seems to be through slogging, saying that to be their natural style ,rather than concentrating on their technique as is evident in the case as Shikhar Dhawan,Virat Kolhi and Ravinder Jadeja.

This calls for special attention and a batsmen with strong technique is required to be the Indian  coach, and who better than Rahul Dravid.

MS Dhoni’s, is still the best Indian captain. But his selection of playing 11 seems to be sometimes baffling.Jadeja’s selection over Rohit Sharma and omission of India’s best bowler R Ashwin seems to be baffling.

Dunchan Fletcher seems to be more of a spectator, following Dhoni’s instruction’s rather than the other way round.     

To rescue India’s cricketing phobia, I think Rahul Dravid appointment as coach would be in the right direction as for transforming Indian batsmen’s mindset and thus making their technique stronger.

Indian Super league starts with a bang.

"You will be nearer to Heaven through football than through the study of the Gita."-Swami Vivekananda

                                   

Football arrives in India.

ISL opened to a  glittering opening ceremony with music  & musicians from eight different states of India and a ravishing performance from Priyanka Chopra

The eight teams being owned by following celebrities

Atheletico de Kolkatta-owned by  Saurav Ganguly

Kerala Blasters- owned by  Sachin Tendulkar

Mumbai City-owned by Ranbhir kapoor

Chennaiyin-owned by MS Dhoni,Abhishek bachchan

Delhi Dynamos- owned by  DEN Network

Goa- owned by  Virat Kolhi

Northeast United- owned by  John Abraham

Pune City- owned by  Hritik Roshan 

Nita Ambani being the chairperson for Football development in India,

The first match between Athelico kolkotta and Mumbai City FC was again a belter of a match with Kolkatta winning 3-0 with the first goal of ISL by Fikru Teferra to a jam packed Salt lake stadium in Kolkatta.

It would not be long before the English premier league and Spanish premier league take a cue from from Indian super league.

So lets eat ,drink and breadth football.

Times of India a pornographic newspaper.

Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.-Martin King Luther

If the only enthusiasm with which Times of India works is increasing its sales and publications then it should start publishing  nude and pornographic material,I am sure its sales would quadruple.

Increasing sales may be important but having media ethics is most important.A newspaper without ethics is bound to fold up in the long run.

If the newspaper  concentrates only on cleavage and bare essentials of a celebrity ,then god bless them.

The newspaper Hindu is right in criticizing  the Times of India publishing the picture of Deepika padukone.If this is the way that they are going to increase the sales then god help them and good luck to their  sort of  journalism.

There is an increase in molestation ,rape cases and crime rates, one of the reasons attributed is vulgar movies and obsene photography and Times of India, I must say ,plays into those hands authoritatively.

Swachh Bharat Abhiyan an excellent initiative

My kingdom has fallen because I had built it with power,but the kingdom of Jesus Christ will last forever because it was built on love. - Napoleon Bonaparte” 

PM  picking up the broom is unheard of in any country.Mr Modi taking up the broom and cleaning up the Valmiki Basti is quit magnanimous of a Prime minister to be doing.

The change  has to percolate into the people,but an inspiring start has been made.When the consciousness of the people change,then India will be cleaner than any other country.This change will happen slowly.But the start has been made to clean India.When the driver of the change is the king or the PM ,the change is more rapid.His initiative of using the social media as a change maker by inviting the nine celebrities is a change driver.

The government has set an amount of two lakh crores have been scheduled to be spent on construction of toilets,maintaining and monitering clean toilets and for having a clean India.This amount if utilized properly would make a visible change and would be a driver for an healthy India.
