Wow...After a long time

Its really amazing that how time passes by...If I look at today it seems as if it is going on dreadfully slowly but if I look at past one month it seems it is travelling on some super sonic plane going at some mind bogglingly ferocious speed. Dunno why I feel something like this. Anyways we still move....

Its almost 9 months since I left my house amidst so much of fun and post wedding celebrations which still makes me wonder sometimes. Y? For what? Is money everything? I know its not but we still run after it thinking we are chasing happines leaving behind happiness. At least it fits on me. Or is because we carry so much of burden on our shoulders to do something, to be successfull and earn a respectable place in society that we forget that there are more important things in life. How difficult it is to leave what you have and stick on to something which is giving you happiness for that short period of time. Is long term thinking always wiser than short term plans? The more you get the more you yearn for? Less you get less you ask for...

Mom and dad are all alone. All by themselves...3 Sons and all 3 of them out of country busy making their careers. Its not that none of them care about them. They do and I am damn sure that they really do. But does that really make a difference that they just think about it and do anything about it. Well they are still healthy and wealthy and can very well take care of themselves with dad earning handsomely. But they miss their children. They want them to come back at least one of them. But they dont ask them to. Should kids understand this on their own?

On the other hand, a building fell in Mumbai killing lots of people. Techie killed in Iraq fighting for US (Strange techie soldier). "Shane Bond makes India die another day". Oil has touched record high of $71 (rounded) per barrel. Still Indian oil prices have not increased.Left in economics can never be on the right side I guess.

We still have some 5 lakh villages in India which are not wired (Read it no electricity). 350-400 million Indians living below poverty line where poverty line mean earning less than $1.08 per day. Assembly figures say 260 Million lives below poverty line but then their poverty would be much below that standard norms. 75% of Indian children below 5 years are undernourished. More astonishingly, Forty-five per cent of children under three are severely and chronically malnourished.. Only 31 per cent of the rural population has access to potable water supply and only 0.5 per cent enjoys basic sanitation. Tuberculosis kills 500,000 Indians each year. There are so many more...
