10 Things that are Stopping India from Progressing

10 Things that are Stopping India from Progressing

India Vision 2020! Yes that’s what we call it. This very term is used to denote India as a developed country by 2020. Well, it could be possible, but I doubt it. We Indians are so much indulged in many off the beat mundane things due to which I think we must re-plan our vision to something like 3020! What had been done in 2010 itself is being inculcated by rash ideas and things which are still retarding the pace of development. Here, we came up with 10 very strong points which are hollowing India. Here is the list:-

10) Infrastructure:

Infrastructure is not just a term; it is a hub of myriad of energies. Roadways, buildings, colleges, godowns, railway etc. these all constitute this section. But we are still on short hands with all of these. We haven’t got very good roadways system, as the roadways are root of any type of trade or means of transport, we lack behind here. Talking about buildings and colleges, many of these were built long back (I think we must go for carbon dating to calculate their actual built up date…hahhh!). Railways, we all know that Indian railway is one of the biggest railway networks in the world, added to which it holds a rank 9 in employing largest number of people. But, again why we are still using forbidden technologies in this area which should have all the latest equipped systems and engines?!

9) Defence dependencies:

We all do praise our ‘Armed forces’; be it Army, be it Navy or be it Airforce. They are the ones who are protecting us in lieu of their own life and their family’s security. Holding firm that’s what they do all the time from the day they join ‘Armed forces’. Then why this sector is not independent? Why they still have to take orders from our government to incept a step? Why we still import 70% of the arms and gadgets from countries like Russia, America etc.? Why?! Are we incapable of generating them here? Are we so clumsy beings that we should all the time raise our hands not for a revolution but to begging? Our defence system is very much dependent, which must be given its own jurisdictions.

8) Our Neighbours:

Ahh our dear dear neighbours! We are surrounded by Sri Lanka in south, by China in North region, by Pakistan in west and by Bangladesh in east (and there are many other countries, but we’ll talk mainly about these). Now, for a country which is surrounded by many such countries which are all really powerful economically as well as terms of powers, then such country is bound to take every step with very sincere care! Every country neighbouring India is equipped with nuclear weapons, so any blunder may cause a 3rd world war. Just to maintain the normalcy, India is bound to compromise with many development projects or ideas. We make visions but are unable to execute many of them because of our neighbouring nations.

7) Naxalism and terrorism:

The two major factors which retard us in all respects are Naxalism and Terrorism. We launch a new policy and there comes an AK47, demanding their needs; we elect a superior leader and there comes a suicide bomb to exhume him! Yes, we ourselves are reason for the inception of Naxalism and terrorism, but we ourselves are incapable of dealing with these menace now. We are to protect our people and our existence so we find ourselves in conditions negotiating with these people, which kick us back.

6) Unawareness:

We all must have listened to CII speech of Rahul Gandhi. In his speech he quoted one point which was, a friend of him came to India from U.S. looking for a solution to a problem related to Engineering, he suggested him to go to an IIT and ask a professor for it. The person did the same and when he came back, he told Mr. Gandhi that, that professor was amazing! He solved his problem very intuitively for just a couple of thousand rupees, which actually worth millions. Now, that’s the unawareness we are webbed with. People don’t know their worth here just because of this unawareness. We confine ourselves to a cocoon.

5) Economic imbalance:

Amir-Gareeb that’s what we call this system. Rich people exploit poor ones and dominate them in all respect that they never ever try to raise their voices to raise their standard of living. According to a survey report, there are 36% malnourished and 38% overweighed children living in Delhi itself. Now, what does it shows? Rich ones will over exhaust the resources no matter what! And poor one will have to take care of their bellies with what left for them (if any). The gap is not narrowing, instead, it is dilating day by day.

4) Educational methodology:

Yes, it is a fact that we Indians generate one of the best Engineers, Doctors, Entrepreneurs etc. etc. in this world. But, tell me one thing which is, is this ‘I’ factor alone can generate best of bests? Can only IITs, IIMs, NITs, AIIMS alone produce great people? No! Our educational system has many flaws at different levels of abstraction. Starting from schools till higher education, there are loop holes which are not at all easy to pour. We here learn theories and never ever learn how to execute them in practicality. It is simply pointless in learning something which you can’t actually apply in your day to day life. We are not making our generation industry ready, instead we are just throwing pebbles on them and saying them to digest it.

3) Youth ideology:

We live in a country where we have maximum number of youth population than any other country in this world. Utilising youths in the best possible way, does the toughest task for any country. Youths are the ones which can tear and mould any situation in front of them to an era of serendipity. Coming to the point, let me clear you something. 90% and above people use facebook; just pull out a second of your’s or two from updating your status and jump to the ‘About’ section of any youth’s profile and I am dam sure that about 80% of them will have this thing written in their political views: “I hate politics, it is drain of malfunctioned machine…………” I ask why? Are we not eligible to be a politician, a leader, a social worker? If we ourselves will have such a view then my friend this is ‘Kalyug’ and all gods are busy in their schedule. So, there won’t be anyone escorting you from the danger. Keeping such a view while living in world’s largest democracy will simply screw you!

2)Hindu–Muslim:

In 1992 we faced babri masjid verdict, in 2002 we faced Godhara Kand in Gujrat and what else if we look back into history. There was a person named Mahatma Gandhi Ji, who took a step to create harmony between Hindus and Muslims but, it failed! What Britishers did to us is very much clear to each and everyone. And I bet, someone else will be doing the same thing in future by bifurcating Hindus and Muslims, all it needs is a little spark. No matter how much we forge ahead in this scenario, if we are incapable of making Hindus and Muslims one, no progress would be seen in near 1000 years.

1) Female discrimination:

The biggest problem which we have, which is stopping India from progressing is ‘Female discrimination’. We are totally unaware of the powers in women. They are the ones which can escalate growth to the 200% higher rate than now. But still, we are indulged in cases like dowry, female foeticide, rape and what else. If GDP of our country is to be increased then we must support our women in all respect. If we consider countries like U.S., China, France and many more we can easily see that the real power they have is their women. Talking about India, we are nowhere near to it yet.

So these were the 10 things which are stopping India from progressing. Wait!! Did I miss anything? What was it that I missed? Ohhhh, ya ya CORRUPTION!!

Actually, I never missed it. Corruption is something which is a part of every single point written above. For time being let’s take an example of ‘road’, if roads are build excellently then there wasn’t any corruption involved, another one if females are given equal opportunity then people have worked honestly, again no corruption!

Shocking before and after images show the cost of drug addiction !

These shocking before and after images reveal the effects of drug addiction on the human face. ‘From Drugs to Mugs’ is the follow up to the controversial 2004 ‘Faces of Meth’ release which highlighted the effects of methamphetamine use. Released in the hope that they will make kids think twice about ever touching drugs, the pictures show how addicts have lost teeth and scratched their skin to the bone.

Survival Pods for Homeless

Gary Pickering, once technically a homeless man after a divorce, has come up with a way to reach out to others. In 1988, he lived in his shop for three years, and there were times when he had homeless people living outside of it. He invited those people to sleep in his van through that tough winter of 1988.

In 2013, he hasn’t forgotten what it was like to relate to others without a home to go to. He still wanted to take it to the next step, and find a way to help others in need. That was when he came up with the idea for micro shelters–or also known as Survival pods.

Racism in football

Racism in football

Racism has always been the biggest unresolved issue in modern day football, although FIFA will claim that they have taken sufficient steps to eradicate it, recent events prove that they have been grossly unsuccessful in doing whatever they claim to have done.

According to a House of Commons report, racism still remains one of the biggest issues, although there has been a lot of progress from the 70’s and 80’s, times when chants of “Go back to your tree, you black B******” used to greet any player brave enough to step out on the pitch.

Here are some of the high profile incidents in the game.

1. 1.      30 years ago, Paul Canoville became the first black footballer to play    for Chelsea. When the team-sheet was announced, with his name as substitute, the National Front held a meeting in a local pub to discuss the outrage. As Canoville warmed up, Chelsea supporters screamed, “Sit down, you black c***”, “You f******g wog”. Then they started to chant: “We don’t want the nigger, we don’t want the nigger, la la la la.”

The yellow leaves sticking to the branches of the old tree were blowing along with the evening breeze. There were many happy children in the park, standing on the swings, drifting down on the slides, some fighting with the other, and some laughing along with their cheerful parents. And there were the balloon and ice-cream sellers catching up with their everyday business.

God’s Children

It was a lovely morning when I boarded the train from the Mambalam station; I purchased a ticket and took a seat in the partly filled vendor compartment. As usual vendors of every type advertised their pens, cucumbers, colouring books and guavas. I bought a packet of peanuts and started munching away to pass the time.

I was half-asleep and lolling on the metal wall of the train when I heard tapping sounds in a rhythmic wave. I sleepily gazed around the compartment to find out the source of such noise. I found a woman who clad a ragged sari tapping a vessel with a wooden stick. When I looked at the center of the compartment, there was this girl who was no more than five years old somersaulting, dancing and doing other sorts of tricks with a small iron ring of her size.

10 Reasons why Female Foeticide is Bad

Surveys have very rightly quoted, “Female foeticide and infanticide is the new cancer that is slowly killing us”. And yes, it prevails true in a country like ours, where there are innumerable such cases each day in many parts of the country. The problem and atrocities of female foeticide on the society has worsened so much over the years that it has become a serious Human Rights issue in India today. Not only for the short term implications it could have on the society as a whole, this plague of female foeticide has some drastic long lasting effects too, such as increasing crime rates over a period of time, discouraging girls from acquiring education or higher studies, slackness of women safety implementation laws and much more. Yes, striving to attain a status of equality between men and women is important, but why essentially is female foeticide to be fought against? Here’s a list of reasons as to why there should be a proper stop to this problem of female foeticide in the society.

10. The skewed sex ratio

Ill problems persisting in the society such as female foeticide and infanticide lead to a much imbalanced sex ratio. Sex ration is the number of females to males in a particular region of the country. The census since the last 5 years has seen a lot of changes in the sex ratio of women per 1000 males in the region. If this problem of female foeticide continues, then the sex ratio gets dropped more and the number of females would just keep lowering down to the number of males in the country, reducing the population of women.

இதில் 51% மேல் ஒன்றிற்கும் மேற்ப்பட்ட தளத்தில் உறுப்பினர் ஆக உள்ளனர்.

இதில் மூன்றில் ஒரு பங்கு 18 இருந்து 24 வயது உள்ளவர்களே.

இதன் படி பார்த்தால் சிறியவர்களில் இருந்து பெரியவர்கள் வரை அனைவரும் சமூக வலைதளங்களை உபயோகிக்கிறார்கள். அனைத்து சமூக வலை தளங்களிலும் Private என்ற ஒரு வசதி உள்ளது. ஆனால் நாம் யாரும் அதை உபயோகிப்பதில்லை. ஆகையால் நாம் சமூக வலை தளங்களை மிகவும் கவனத்துடன் கையாள வேண்டும். 

10. சுலபமான கடவுச்சொல்: 

சமூக தளங்களில் நாம் உபயோகிக்கும் Password சுலபமாக கண்டுபிடிக்கும் படி வைக்க வேண்டாம். உங்கள் பெயரையோ அல்லது வேறு ஏதேனும் வார்த்தையோ அலது உங்கள் பிறந்த தேதியையோ தரவேண்டாம். இதனை ஹேக்கர்கள் சுலபமாக கண்டு பிடிக்கும் அபாயம் உள்ளது. சிறந்தது உங்கள் கடவு சொல்லுக்கு முன்னும் பின்னும் நம்பர்களை சேர்த்தல் சிறந்தது.

9. முகவரி மற்றும் தொலைபேசி எண்:

சமுக தளங்களில் நீங்கள் உங்களுடைய தொலைபேசி எண்ணையோ அல்லது உங்கள் வீட்டின் முகவரியையோ கொடுக்க வேண்டாம். இது முற்றிலும் தவறான விஷயம். இதை கண்டிப்பாக தவிருங்கள். ஏற்க்கனவே கொடுத்து இருந்தாலும் எடுத்து விடுங்கள்.இதுவும் தவறு நடக்க ஒரு விதத்தில் வாய்ப்பு உள்ளது.

8. உங்கள் குழந்தையின் பெயர்:

அனைவருமே செய்கின்ற விஷயம் நம்முடைய குழந்தையின் புகைப்படத்தை நம் பேஸ்புக்கில் சேர்த்து இருப்போம் அது தவறல்ல, ஆனால் அந்த குழந்தையின் படத்திற்கு குழந்தையின் பெயரை தலைப்பாக போட்டு இருந்தால் அது தவறு தான். அதை மாற்றி விடுங்கள். உங்களுக்கு தெரியாமலேயே உங்கள் குழந்தையை ஏமாற்ற வழி உள்ளது. யாருக்கு என்ன தெரியும் எப்பொழுது என்ன நடக்கும் என்று நாம் கவனமாக இருப்பது நல்லது.

Touching Moments in Life ♥

Touching Moment

Pictures that cause the most intense emotions, touch a nerve and touched to tears. Sometimes the picture is more than just another moment in the life of a person. Sometimes even a single random shot can tell a lot or cause the strongest emotions. Each shot, as his story touched to the core. These photos tell about the past, learn a lot about this and stop immediately for the future.

How to Survive Summer time in India !!!

How to Survive Summer time in India !!! 

Summer time in India is far from being a pleasant time if you are in the plains and are not heading for the hills. In fact, a typical Indian summer day in a city such as Delhi can feel like an oven that has been put on a really high pre-heated temperature mark! Yet, if you follow some simple tips, you can remain as cool as cucumber. Read on to know more.

Besides the essentials, like applying tons of sunscreen lotion and wearing loose fitting, preferably cotton clothes, here are a few tips that will keep help you keep your cool in the sweltering Indian summer!

Besides drinking plenty of water, drink a lot of fluids to avoid dehydration. The ever-popular nimbu pani or lemonade is an excellent drink to feel refreshed. If you are cautious of drinking lemonade, then the natural thirst-quencher is tender coconut water. Tender coconut water contains sugar, fiber, and proteins along with vitamins and minerals.

Eat a lot of salads and fresh fruits that naturally contain water, like water melon – in fact this fruit contains nearly 92% water and up to 14% of vitamin C. This will add to the moisture content that you will lose through sweating. Small amounts of vitamin B and potassium are also found in this fruit.

Railway ..... Spread the word around ... !!!

Hi all,

The real issue is not "the presence or absence of option for printing" at the website ! They are clearly mentioning on the opening page of their website that "travel without print-out of e-tickets"..In that case, it should be uniformly implemented and no authority , let it be the TTE or the personnel at the railway station should insist on the print out of tickets for any purpose...Let it be for verification inside the train or let it be for modification of already "booked tickets" at the railway station !  If we are very serious about being "environment friendly" and about "saving trees", then all tickets need to be made e-tickets... Just like the way airlines have done ..

In this era where, tablet PCs and smartphones are available anywhere and everywhere, fitting into everybody's pocket and budget, why don't the administration take it seriously and implement the concept of e-tickets seriously ? Now, almost all persons carry print outs, assuming that the TTE may insist on that...Nobody is sure about anything...

The concept of "saving trees" is going the same as we implemented "say no to plastics"...

With wishes for a better Tomorrow, with dreams for a better India.
