Lets Look for Solutions

I have seen the whole event on TV and felt it very closely. It is difficult to put in words how we feel when something like this happens in our city in our country. As i was listening to people on TV & Radio, there is a lot of Anger in people's mind, and rightly so. But everyone was talking about issues and blaming politicians...hardly anyone talked abt solutions (other than a war with Pakistan which i dont think is the solution)..so i sat back and thought of ......A Call to the PM's office and the following email sent to the PM

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Dear Mr. Prime Minister,

I am not sure if this would even reach you but still I want this to be heard. I am a working professional in Mumbai and wish to help in the hour of crisis in the country. I will try to make this as precise and to the point so that I don’t waste your time.

I am sure you have heard people’s opinion about politicians and authorities in the country post the havoc in Mumbai. Being an Indian myself I can totally understand the emotions. But I want to put my energy in to something constructive and suggest solutions instead of blaming people and talking about just issues.

The Idea:

To save its face and to save the country, the Central Government should run a campaign asking people of this country to suggest their ideas to curb Terrorism in the country. You should promise that the campaign will be wholly promoted by the PMO and some of the filtered ideas would be debated in the working committee and parliament for implementation (live telecast of the debate). I know the idea sounds overly optimistic but then I guess that is required at this point in time. The high energies of people in the country need to be directed in to something constructive and only you can do this through your team. Ask them to SMS, email or write letters with their ideas and put up a team of 100 people to scan it and filter it. It won’t cost much to implement this considering the following benefit.

Benefits:

• It gives People of India a feeling of involvement towards the country
• It gives some saving grace to the government by showing that it cares and is willing to take steps
• It allows the millions of brilliant brains of the country to come up with innovative (cost effective & practical) solutions
• It actually might end up saving my country, our country from many disasters
• AND IT’S NO SHAME TO ASK FOR HELP……. AFTER ALL EVERYONE IN THIS COUNTRY IS EQUALLY RESPONSIBLE


Please note that I am not questioning the intelligence your team has but I believe 1million brains will provide you a better pool of ideas to work with.
I am not sure if these emails are read by you, but I m optimistically looking forward to your reply.

Best Regards

Rahul Choube

I dont know if this is the right way, but I truly believe that its time to consider it our duty to contribute in whatever way we can to solve the problem.

Looking for your thoughts

Cheers

Enjoy life and Be Happy

We in today’s world face soo many challenges and hard situations which literally force us to think “Why Me?”….. imagine Someone (who has a job) doesn’t like his boss, someone is not getting a job at all, someone is having issues in their relationships, someone is just irritated by their surrounding (raj thackray, terror attacks etc)… too many things around us (small or big) keep us low and entangled.

Sometime when I sit back and try to think, how much of our energies we spend worrying about these things and not enjoying our day to day life. I don’t mean we shouldn’t think about them at all, but do we think about the problem or the solutions or do we actually do something about the issue???

More than trying to get a solution to the problem which is a must ,I would say try to be positive about whatever happens in your life, I know it sounds easier than it is.. but then What the Hell… who says life is a easy ride.. at least we can try to make it enjoyable …

So the next time you feel you are not being treated well by your GF/BF, being scolded by your boss for no reason… just think… it’s up to you if u want to get hurt… at that time try to enjoy smiles of people around u (specially kids).. laugh on some of those stupid jokes of Laughter Challenge show.. some silly SMSs from your friends..or best… spend time reading silly blogs abt life.. you would get many reasons to smile J

I know this post sounds soo philosophical but then that’s what I have actually come to realize and I feel everyone should follow to keep themselves happy.

Here is a joke .. u get for bearing through my blog and come out of that feeling u got after reading it.. hahaha
