The art of saving has to be learnt from our fourfathers

The new Man/woman is leading a life of peril if he rests his needs and solves woes by the use of the Plastic money.Credit cards or debit cards teach you and help you to spend.That too in advance. Use now and pay later is a dangerous way to live,Do not put your heirs in a situation of debt and rob the love from you after your depart.
Wise spending,limited and necessary expenses,justified buying all have to be metered.The art of keeping something back for emergency.There is health too! Unknown happenings,demands,dues can crop up anytime putting you in a spot.Begging and borrowing from friends ,kith and kin is shameful.Popularity can really take a dip if the lenders come knocking at your door.Public censure and lifted eyebrows are a sorry sight.Be safe than sorry the saying goes and believe me all the sayings come from experiences of the people from the past.Our ancestors,old wise men/women have set some learnt rules .....do try and follow them for your own good.
I know YOU earn so you can SPEND as you like.I will not take that right from you and no one can.The LURE of spending is put in your head and the carrot is dangled in front of you for the lenders are going to earn from you.You will earn FIRST to pay their interest,then the actually sum and then only will be any leftovers.......if possible.
Think Guys n Gals....shopping is wonderful, all at a stroke!...Earning is difficult...it is bit by bit?

highway,runway,expressway or panicway ?

I was really proud when I first travelled on the Mumbai-Pune expressway.I thought my country is making great progress.Today a few years later I have to Qualify my words and thoughts. As my work makes me go a lot on tours,I am a frequent traveller on the expressway.By the shear Number of vehicles I come to know that the economy is flourishing. The more alarming rate is the increase in road vehicles sold and the number of frequent travellers.The numbers are mind boggling and almost swamping.I am afraid we are going to be swept away by the tsunami of Numbers.
We have not been able to give precedence and importance to the control of population.We have put our country in grave danger.Look at the figures of food grown and imported.At the number of mushrooming cement blocks and the absolute pitiful infrastructure.The Public Transport Systems are sheer failures and below quality.The numbers of unnecessary Bars and pubs keep on enveloping & shrouding the rational thoughts of the human race.
Too much is needed and too little is done or achieved .The alarming rate of climate change speaks of our paying a blind eye to the important things and acting deaf and dumb to the needs of reality and qualitative survival.
The illiterate and the educated are equally to be blamed.There is very little difference between either when it come s to human nature.Responsibility is abegging and so is the sense of duty.Each has to rethink of where one is really taking the country to? The politicians are a sad story themselves.The education and administrative system is going so corrupt.All needs to be changed and need to introspect very urgently.
To me the Reality is going to surface a lot of Lacunae and expose man's vulnerability to uncontrolled progress and living.

Dreaming on..

If Fly I could, then I would,
come to greet and meet,a love so Sweet!

When by your side ,I would abide,
by your wishes and demand, at your command.

With feelings so deep and within,I would always win,
your heart and dare not part,nor you let you depart.

Pray as I do for your hand,along with a love so grand,
may nature bring all the beauty,in your form:all Sanctity'

Time would fly as days went by,knowing not why?
Happiness be the blood that flows, in my heart never slows,

With you as mine 'A wonderful bliss',sealing it always with a kiss,
walking through life hand in hand, as here I keep Dreaming on.........

sense and sensibility

Does it make sense to you to give a son a motorcycle worth 70+K rupees even when he is doing nothing after 3 years of passing his XII Th std.?...It doesn't to me.
My contention is that, only he deserves something who shows hope and responsibility.What can one do about such an act?Nothing. Each to his own understanding. I wonder how God has planned it. People do not have the sense of reasoning and depth of understanding for they are genetically incapable. You can't blame it on anyone. It is the Constitution that each is in possession of. You are born that way, as you have your 'x' & 'y' from your parents.
Who decides you get the good gene or the bad one?The traits which you have are individualistic and could be reactionary in different ways in different situations.You may never believe in the people who really care for you...as you do not know how to decide who really cares?Destiny and fate are therefore nothing but a result of all this.All is not sense and therefore sensibility is not guaranteed.

Unless the 'Gap' is bridged

It is said 'better late than never'. I had an experiences that things do and can happen this way but there is a huge gap between 'understanding' and 'imbibing'. To' know' something is not enough.To understand the progressive results of using that knowledge correctly or incorrectly is more important. Even the 'Law' says ignorance is no excuse.Effort has to be made to be aware of :why,what,where,when,which,who,how.....etc is necessary . If one cannot or has not the capacity to do so,One needs to get and accept help.
What is Maturity? that is what one should find our,Sensibility doesn't come our of Education alone.Application of a lot of characteristics of any given premise is to be done properly.The results obtained in a comprehensive manner are far better than a thing done in a haphazard manner.
It is also as true as your existence that there are limitations with each individual.Each has his/her limitations of absorption,understanding,maturity,speed,reaction,etc....All this what I think is a general but real fact and in reality lies the importance not just a thought of the mind or just a notion.

Years going by...

It only seems to the human mind that the time is passing.What really happens is emotions are felt,lived,more follow.Understanding develops as you age.Emotions grow in number with understanding.There are a number of them, rapidly increasing as one ages.A multitude of such and of course there reactions follow and keep on happening.This experience gives one the sense of Time.Time isn't a tangible or real product.It is a notion.The length of our living is unknown and therefore always an intrigue.We only seem to go after the unknown as we are made that way.How you age should be Qualitative .All humans have a reasoning sense inbuilt in them.They accordingly have their ethics,priorities,reactions,etc.....Asking from someone to do something in a particular way and react in a certain manner is fruitless.....Nothing is in your control.
As the man counts it will be 51yrs tomorrow and I am a mixed bag of emotions like all are ,trying to make sense of things around me.Living with "satisfaction"(searched for and groped around) 'happiness' relatively received and heart fully felt.The brain doesn't match the heart though.We live in a "society" and have to keep 'it" in mind.
How far and How long do I have? is the intrigue that puts a smile on your face and wrinkles on your forehead!
Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional.

Once you know the birth date, how to compute how old someone is?
A common belief for computer geeks is that an age is a duration.

So to my co sustaining humans......make merry and live the moment!!Adios!

Losing the information

I was quite surprised that the younger generation is quite unaware of the Local festivals,rituals,cultural information.I wonder why? There is a surge of information at the doorstep for the common man.There is the popular TV and it's channels that go in 3 figures.There is the daily,weekly,fortnightly...newspapers,magazines,publications etc..Then there is the rapid popular gain in the radio channel listeners. All college,school,society ,association,temple noticeboards and the mouth to mouth blabber.
There is no real scarcity in information but funnily enough the IT knows no common news...."common sense is not very common" it is said,so is common news I think.What are these educated working class busy with.Is Page 3 ,Sensex,Police file news...the only knowledge awareness within them?or is it 'The Entertainment page' the only page of interest?or is it the only 'IN" things that matter?Do all want to be be top bracket socialites?It is because the plastic money available? or the Loan and Credit schemes?
What are our values,priorities,ethics,plans,foresights......where is this road leading to? I Wonder.
