I am pretty sure that Television is a great tool to educate and reach out.I am but apprehensive that is is being used properly.
it is being put to a lot of MISUSE
and a lot of M/S use too
The loss of invaluable TIME
The loss of Loads of Money
The Loss of a lot of Energy
The Loss of this in valuable audio-visual medium.
The misuse of human talent
The misuse of opportunity
The misuse of resources
The misuse of Liberty of Expression
The Miss and Mrs. unnecessarily used or exploited is also not funny..man proves he is an MCP.
Technology is not bad, it is it's utilization that is bothersome.
Man has a lot of resources given by NATURE...but does he put them to 'Good' use?
Ethics,Morals etc...is lacking and the human finds himself worse off than an animal in the wild.
The internet..a great tool !! but look at the rubbish that it is used for..
Making weapons
Killing humankind
Porn
Hate and insults
Ego trips
Rumour mongering
Defamation
Child usurpation
all the wrong reasons....
So it is with all that man invents...
it is time Nature takes over and the balance of overpopulation is met by providential destruction.
I have feeling that man and his made religion will self destruct due to fanaticism.
What goes up will come down...Action and reaction are equal and opposite....will hold true.
TV was made for a good purpose and entertainment has to have parameters.When will we understand.
Money was made for our convenience ... look what we have done with it?
man/woman is ready to do almost anything possible to have wealth....does nature teach you this?
A look into the past will tell you...
man needs very little to live in harmony and peace...Nature provides for everything...
TV is man made and only increases other needs of man..
When will man be able to invent something which is self dependent and self providing:- like NATURE

The Year just Flew by....
2009 will be a year full of good pleasant memories and stark realities.I have grown by leaps and bounds inside,more than out side.What I mean is simple.Moneywise I am the same and so too healthwise.What I received was in depth of fulfillment.I thank who,whatever is responsible for this.
I have made great friends.I have visited ubelievable places and I have been able to help maximum souls.I do miss my father-in-law and the site mydeardiary.com.Both died an unhappy death.I will miss them till I live.
Over the net I have mde friends from far and wide.I have to congratulate humanity at large foe a lot.I was lucky to see the internet too.It has made the entire world approachable.I couldn't have interacted and come across all these wonderful souls on EONS,Sulekha.com,Orkut,Facebook and Myspace....Of course I continue to use MSN hotmail chat and Yahoo chat alongwith gmail and rediff bol. My net surfing has kept me sane and away from any wrong acts which I may have attempted if I had no occupation in my free time.
My family has grown worldwide as my real family is busy doing" their own thing " .This only proved to me that man made relations are artificial after all and reality is different.
I must have travelled miles and touched a lot of hearts.I was shown affection,love,care,concern by people whom I would have never dreamed would.All rules made by man have proved wrong and bared to thier selfish motives.....
Let the world move,do not make your own designs.What is to be will surely be and we might just end up as bystanders.So open your eyes and come to bare reality.Live(ride) with the tide.
Mankind saw a lot of upheaval but it only digs its grave deeper.The negatives that are happening still do not scare it and teach the right way of survival.
The children have grown and Live brings about new surprises.I live the moments as they come forth and that makes time go so quickly.I only hope I get the strength and time to do what I can best. and that is Help myself by Helping others...
Welcome, 2010!!.

"AMTE" A Phenomenon
Phenomenon 2Definition: That which strikes one as strange, unusual, or unaccountable; an extraordinary or very remarkable person, thing, or occurrence; as, a musical phenomenon.
Baba Amte and his work that his co-workers and family members is nothing less than a"Phenomenon".I say this for the unparalleled work they are performing amidst these "progressive" modern times.Civilizations may have grown and seen the days of futuristic world,but the people in the interiors of Independent Nations still remain nomads and tribal.The educated and intelligent masses are still unaware of 'Leprosy"at large.Why doesn't the media bring things of such importance to the fore rather than spending valuable hours and money over a mean fight in Politics or Bollywood. The real support for 'human tragedy is never received simply because it is unglamourous,non TRP rating or sensational.
This blog is purely to vent my anger over people who spends valuable resources in totally vulgar ways and not help the real human brotherhood.I try to bring to notice of people who care to "do"something for the "cause".Advising and lecturing is easy...action is difficult.Can you imagine if you had a dreaded disease and were taken away from your own house and family and left at the doorstep of an institution and were left to live your entire life at 'God's mercy so to say.??
Having something never makes you satisfied...it only makes you want more.Have you thought of giving or sharing your 'good life' with fellow humans?Only when you do not have something..you value it really and truly.
I suggest a visit to the Maharogi Seva Samiti's projects could be a good way to find out what life is all about.You may go to many a place for a holiday and suggest people too about the fun and beauty...go to some thing more realistic rather than artificially made.The vagaries of mankind...find out what true dedication is and where heaven can be made on earth for those who deserve it most.

Having met all concerned with these projects,I have taken it as a personal task to whatever I can to help in any which way I can and make my life worthwhile living.
Dr Vikas Amte,his Son Kausthubh Amte,Dr Prakash Amte,His sons Aniket and Dr. Digant,
The Amte Ladies who stand by and more than ably support namely Dr Madakini P Amte,Dr.Bharti V Amte,Dr. Anagha D Amte,Samiksha A Amte ,Pallavi K Amte and now growing up with same zeal and zest Arnav D Amte Dr. Digant's son.....all with the able help,support,dedication of their co-workers..To name a few,
Vilas & Renuka Manohar, Gopal & Prabha Phadnis, Dada & Baban Panchal, Jagan Machkale, Manohar & Sandhya Yempalwar etc. and many more who I will mention in my future blogs are doing such yeomen service that it puts entire governments who run on public money to shame..
On one hand I feel so proud of this family and on the other so angered by the attutude of the world ,in which they perform this fabulous task towards humanity, not paying proper heed and not value this work. I realise though that venting anger is better done by working harder for the cause than complaining about something and blaming someone!!

Indian Road and Traffic sense ....calls for discipline
Having read a mail given below I was taken aback.The outside world has very little praise for our(Indian) Road and vehicle traffic .I bring this out here in my blog to make the Administrative and Political persons know their responsibility.Making them aware isn't enough...it is making them read and listen to what people think and how they laugh about our discipline regarding usage of Transport and infrastructure.
Here by the way is the article excerpts...
This hilarious article was written by a Dutchman who spent two years in Bangalore, India, as a visiting expert. A little long article but worth reading it!!!
Driving in Bangalore / India
For the benefit of every Tom, Dick and Harry visiting India and daring to drive on Indian roads, I am offering a few hints for survival. They are applicable to every place in India except Bihar, where life outside a vehicle is only marginally safer.
Indian road rules broadly operate within the domain of karma where you do your best, and leave the results to your insurance company. The hints are as follows: Do we drive on the left or right of the road?
The answer is "both". Basically you start on the left of the road, unless it is occupied. In that case, go to the right, unless that is also occupied. Then proceed by occupying the next available gap, as in chess. Just trust your instincts, ascertain the direction, and proceed. Adherence to road rules leads to much misery and occasional fatality. Most drivers don't drive, but just aim their vehicles in the generally intended direction.
Don't you get discouraged or underestimate yourself except for a belief in reincarnation; the other drivers are not in any better position. Don't stop at pedestrian crossings just because some fool wants to cross the road. You may do so only if you enjoy being bumped in the back.
Pedestrians have been strictly instructed to cross only when traffic is moving slowly or has come to a dead stop because some minister is in town. Still some idiot may try to wade across, but then, let us not talk ill of the dead.
Blowing your horn is not a sign of protest as in some countries. We horn to express joy, resentment, frustration, romance and bare lust (two brisk blasts),or just mobilize a dozing cow in the middle of the bazaar. Keep informative books in the glove compartment. You may read them during traffic jams, while awaiting the chief minister's motorcade, or waiting for the rainwater to recede when over ground traffic meets underground drainage.
Occasionally you might see what looks like a UFO with blinking colored lights and weird sounds emanating from within. This is an illuminated bus, full of happy pilgrims singing bhajans. These pilgrims go at breakneck speed, seeking contact with the Almighty, often meeting with success.
Auto Rickshaw (Baby Taxi): The result of a collision between a rickshaw and an automobile, this three-wheeled vehicle works on an external combustion engine that runs on a mixture of kerosene oil and creosote. This triangular vehicle carries iron rods, gas cylinders or passengers three times its weight and dimension, at an unspecified fare. After careful geometric calculations, children are folded and packed into these auto rickshaws until some children in the periphery are not in contact with the vehicle at all. Then their school bags are pushed into the microscopic gaps all round so those minor collisions with other vehicles on the road cause no permanent damage. Of course, the peripheral children are charged half the fare and also learn Newton's laws of motion en route to school. Auto-rickshaw drivers follow the road rules depicted in the film Ben Hur, and are licensed to irritate.
Mopeds: The moped looks like an oil tin on wheels and makes noise like an electric shaver. It runs 30 miles on a teaspoon of petrol and travels at break-bottom speed. As the sides of the road are too rough for a ride, the moped drivers tend to drive in the middle of the road; they would rather drive under heavier vehicles instead of around them and are often "mopped" off the tarmac.
Leaning Tower of Passes: Most bus passengers are given free passes and during rush hours, there is absolute mayhem. There are passengers hanging off other passengers, who in turn hang off the railings and the overloaded bus leans dangerously, defying laws of gravity but obeying laws of surface tension. As drivers get paid for overload (so many Rupees per kg of passenger), no questions are ever asked. Steer clear of these buses by a width of three passengers.
One-way Street: These boards are put up by traffic people to add jest in their otherwise drab lives. Don't stick to the literal meaning and proceed in one direction. In metaphysical terms, it means that you cannot proceed in two directions at once. So drive as you like, in reverse throughout, if you are the fussy type. Least I sound hypercritical, I must add a positive point also. Rash and fast driving in residential areas has been prevented by providing a "speed breaker"; two for each house. This mound, incidentally, covers the water and drainage pipes for that residence and is left untarred for easy identification by the corporation authorities, should they want to recover the pipe for year-end accounting.
Night driving on Indian roads can be an exhilarating experience for those with the mental make up of Genghis Khan. In a way, it is like playing Russian roulette, because you do not know who amongst the drivers is loaded. What looks like premature dawn on the horizon turns out to be a truck attempting a speed record. On encountering it, just pull partly into the field adjoining the road until the phenomenon passes.
Our roads do not have shoulders, but occasional boulders. Do not blink your lights expecting reciprocation. The only dim thing in the truck is the driver, and with the peg of illicit arrack (alcohol) he has had at the last stop, his total cerebral functions add up to little more than a naught. Truck drivers are the James Bonds of India, and are licensed to kill. Often you may encounter a single powerful beam of light about six feet above the ground. This is not a super motorbike, but a truck approaching you with a single light on, usually the left one. It could be the right one, but never get too close to investigate. You may prove your point posthumously.
It is time the RTAs,Motorists,Departmental officers and Agencies,Tourism Personnel look into this dismal state of affairs and get stricter and more disciplined.To become a good Nation each individual has to learn self discipline.Whether it be India or otherwise.

The Earth Hour
I wasn't surprised....that even after so much publicity and information ,very few of us abided by the 'Earth Hour'. From 8:30 pm to 9:30 pm my mother and I switched off our entire electric supply and sat chatting in the balcony of my flat in Pune.Overlooking the Kothrud area...apart from the society immediately in front of me(Kumar Parisar)of 3 buildings, there were very very
few noticeable flats,houses or buildings,who followed the appeal.
It only proved very few turned into action the thoughts that were put in their minds.I noticed at the "Vasundhara"festival at Yeshwantrao Chavan auditorium in Kothrud,Pune, that even though after such a well organised film show and photo exhibition with lectures from selected speakers...that people actually participated in full earnest.Sad was only what I could say!
Hypocrisy prevails or rather rules!!
When will man grow in thought?I suggest to those who I feel care, reading of 2 books.....
http://www.amazon.com/Fall-Human-Intellect-Parthasarathy/product-reviews/8187111933
and the other one being
http://newagejournal.com/2007/spirituality/eckhart-tolles-a-new-earth-picked-by-oprah
I do this because these books have shown me a new way to life which I have now taken in my last leg of physical existence in this body.
Man(human Being) before some woman takes objection....should commit himself to sanity.
Peace,love,co-existence,respect,equality of opportunity etc....is what one should try and AIM.
http://www.enterprisemedia.com/product/00270/stephen_covey_leadership_library_video_set.html
I suggest everyone sees this video and thinks....and applies !
The Earth Hour was only for sixty minutes..believe me if there are not many more like these..
precious moments will feel like decades when the time comes....that will destruct...It really is self destruction!!!
