What is Actual Solution to Stop Corruption

2010-08-07T01:41:00.003-04:00

Change yourself and don't bribe anyone. For getting A certificate or driver's license, or a document or anything else, for getting anything don't give even single rupee in the form of bribe to someone. If you starting changing yourself, then all your family members follow this, then at least 3 people in ind are standing with Non-Corruption.

So change yourself first, then change your family and then look around the country,.. Don't dream that some miracle happens. Nothing will happen for next 3000 years to Ind (of course end of the world at that time). We have to change it.

Even the storm starts with a single drop. So why don't you be the drop...?

I don't mean to hurt anyone's ideas but this is my opinion, sorry if i hurt someone...

Thank you,

How to get well from heart attack

2010-08-07T00:45:00.000-04:00

Let's say it's 6.15 pm and you're going home (alone of course), after an unusually hard day on the job. You're really tired, upset and frustrated.

Suddenly you start experiencing severe pain in your chest that starts to radiate out into your arm and up into your jaw. You are only about five miles from the hospital nearest your home. Unfortunately you don't know if you'll be able to make it that far. You have been trained in CPR, but the guy that taught the course did not tell you how to perform it on yourself.

HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN ALONE
Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack, without help,the person whose heart is beating improperly and who begins to feel faint, has only about 10 seconds left before losing consciousness. However,these victims can help themselves by coughing repeatedly and very vigorously. A deep breath should be taken before each cough, and the cough must be deep and prolonged, as when producing sputum from deep inside the chest.

A breath and a cough must be repeated about every two seconds without let-up until help arrives, or until the heart is felt to be beating normally again. Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing movements squeeze the heart and keep the blood circulating. The squeezing pressure on the heart also helps it regain normal rhythm. In this way, heart attack victims can get to a hospital. Tell as many other people as possible about this. It could save their lives!!

A cardiologist says If everyone who gets this mail sends it to 10 people, you can bet that we'll save at least one life.

BE A FRIEND AND PLEASE SEND THIS ARTICLE TO AS MANY FRIENDS AS POSSIBLE

Adopt an Orphanage...

2009-07-05T11:09:00.005-04:00

Hello,
Most people believe that if we collect money and give food for Orphans (I am Sorry to day this) for a day is not enough. I understand it but the intention must directed towards supporting organizations who already serving orphanages.

Firstly one has adopt an orphanage. After that collect and fund money for that orphanage. Try to spend your free time with those children and try to teach for the lower classes (as a teacher). After a while with your valuable services, one has the CHANCE to join a street children in that orphanage/organization.

But there are Several points to discuss here about street children:
1. Not all street children are home less, some are escaped from home. If we have will, we can get them back to home.
2. Some street children are robots in the hands of some anti social elements for earning money.

So if you adopt an orphanage in one way you are serving the organization/orphanage and in other way you have a chance to join children in streets in the orphanage.

REMEMBER, Doing all this is not a one day effort but has to be done with LOT of Dedication. Please do dedicate some of your life time to serve humanity.

CIVIL Rights... Are they for Males or Females?

2009-07-05T00:01:00.008-04:00

Hello my dear friends,

It is fortunate that Indian Constitution has CIVIL rights for all the citizens. But today (not only today from childhood onwards) i wonder whether the rights are for Humans or not. Most of us seems not aware of them (because it is not one of the property or voting right). Civil rights has to provide a natural protection and state of living to humans by the Government. I see they are preserved mostly for Males.

Because:
1. A Male is not killed when he is born
2. He is not arrested inside the social and cultural walls (I mean he is given freedom to do what ever)
3. Forgiven if he commits a mistake (How big it might be)
4. Most important thing is MALE DOMINATION SOCIETY (I hate to hear and say this but no option now)

Its our society. We should protect it. Females also need same rights and equal proportions of opportunities and protection.

OHIS (Our horrible Indian Society, of course we are part of it) kills a female at the time of its birth itself. After its birth, house arrest and prohibits to undergo education. Up to the end of the life come across harassment and abuse. We need to care about females too. I am a part of this society and i support CIVIL rights. (I know this wont help our govt which is hungry for money). If you want to preserve Civil rights please join with me.

P.S: Many of you are fortunate to be cared (equally as males) . But my concerns are about those who are not cared.

Thanks to AKANKSHA...

His father is drinker and imagine how the home would be, its like hell everyday. One day when the BOY returned to his home, in the night his father came drunk and beat him and his mother like a beast. He didnt tolerate it any more and planed to escape from home. Finally the very next day he left home and went to city. In the city he was collecting the papers and glasses form the trash. We was a hopeless. No sufficient food, Starving and using the earned little money for drugs, cigaretts and drinking. He is loosing his Beautiful childhood. Now who is going to Help him. There are lot of people like this BOY in the STREETS, in the RAILWAY STTIONS, in the BUS STANDS... We see everyday but we dont care them. We try to give some money. But is that very helpful ot them. Is it sufficient to lead his life. I am not saying to donate lot of money. ATLEAST JOIN THEM IN THE NEAR ORPHANAGES OR CHILD HOMES... Please save their childhood. If we all indians take care of the poor then they will take care of the next generation. Atleast we can guide them in the right way, not just leaving them alone. We can give a support to them.

Are We Dumb...?

2009-01-16T23:59:00.008-05:00

Hello Everyone,

I hope all have a good time now... We all listen to the voice of people who suffer, who are in vulnerable condition, but we don't respond. The service to orphans is not only enough. Helping to fellow Indians is also equally important. I notice lot of people helping children but how about the old people, Who are hated and left alone on the streets by the sons and daughters who cares for money more than a human... Who really cares for them. We see lot of people who are helplessly left alone, we look at them and show sympathy. It should not be stopped there. We must help them and make a change in their life. WE ARE NOT DUMB... We should raise our voice. IF we want make a change in the society, If we really want to change this world, we have to start changing it at our home, at our friends and at our families. Its our country and these are our people, Our friends, our relative, neighbors ... We all have the RESPONSIBILITY to help them. Its not an exam where you do it only one day. We are really fortunate enough that we live well, but think about what if we don't have minimum needs.. how we would be...? Lets unite and work together, Raise our voice to hear this world that we are changing this world and taking this towards Humanity.

Help everyone and let everyone Help you...

Blood Group and Donation

2009-01-05T15:36:00.012-05:00

Hello All,

This is the step one taken in the New year Resolution. We see lot of people need of blood in emergency and some of the blood banks also some time cant provide it at some time. The amount of blood we need in India per year is 2 Million Units. The blood bank and other resources cant provide all the required blood to the patients in time. So its ending in death results, which is very unfortunate. The medication and its components availability must be improved.

To rescue these causalities, We have to make a forward step. So i am here by mentioning the list of the blood banks and other resources where you can get blood immediately (Most of the States are listed but all are not covered):

http://www.scribd.com/full/7296570?access_key=key-1b9proy6i03jtnps3ngi

Here is the statistics of the blood banks and also the available blood banks are listed
http://cdsco.nic.in/html/BloodList.html
http://www.indiabloodbank.com/

I also strongly request you all to please donate the blood. Be as a member of some blood bank and they can offer you all the information about the blood and its availability. You can spread that information to others who need it. In two ways you are helping two lives to survive. We all are human, please help others. Rescue their life. Save other humans and later they will save you. Please donate your blood.

P.S: Most importantly some private blood institutes collect blood for free and sells it to make some money. Be ware of them and make donations towards blood camps and public institutes. Please Mention your name and details and your blood group in the comments, So that we can contact you if we need blood immediately. You can give your blood IN PLACE when ever needed by a patient. Please remember that your donation will rescue a life. Please leave your details in comments.

If you need more information don't hesitate, please do contact me.

New Year Resolutions -- 009

2009-01-05T14:39:00.006-05:00

Hello every one,

I hope all of you enjoyed your new year well. Also i hope you are making some new year resolutions for this year, New plans, new work etc. I hope all they work and success. I request you make a new resolutions in your efforts to help others also. Because we can only change this country, change these people and help other. The problem is the Government in one of the big country like India, where the population is in billions and has a diversity of cultures, can not take care of all the issues. Its really hard for any government to do that. Some political or social or economical powers and issues can stop to do most of the government responsibilities.

But as a citizens we have the responsibility to help other citizens and this cant be stop by anyone. So lets start the work and help the poor. Don't sit still and watch the show but be a part of it. Please help others. They may be your friends, neighbors or people you don't know. Start from one and keep increasing the count.

Make new resolution and try to help the needy as much as you can. You contribution is so worth, that it changes a life. Think about this. If one rupee is donated from all the citizens of India then it will make 1 billion which is sufficient to fund the needy. So your contribution towards that goal is so important may be it is one rupee. But it worth more in the count.

So pledge our self to help others and make the India prosperous and let us develop the country. Lets change it. Lets start the first step of our journey now...

P.S: I will be glad to interact with all people who can take part this resolution... please leave comments and lets make a team...

To protect the children in Mumbai, first CHILD LINE is started and now working over 81 cities and will cover more cities in next few years.

Help The Poor... Give your Hand...

2008-07-02T13:07:00.009-04:00

Hello All,

I have a small request to all of you. We see many people who are crying with hungry and without cloths on road side and no one cares about them. Most of them are little children. We are lucky enough to be cared. Our parents provide us everything. But nobody cares the people on road side. Please give them food. Don't give money because the Anti Social Elements who are raising them can take the money. Moreover they cant properly utilize the money. So if we want to help them then we have to buy some food and give them. If we relieve their hunger for a day then it will be enough. The rich people always try to become richer, politicians always try to increase his BLACK Money mean while poor people are growing poorer. So we can only help them.

Also we can give sweaters and cloths which we no longer use. We some times, if we have enough money, can buy new dress also for them. So we have to collect the cloths from all the people which no longer they use from others and give them to the street children who don't have minimum needs. Its really sad that no one care for them as our parents care for us. So lets put our hands together and help the children to our extent. Please Help the Poor.

So Please help the street children and save Indian future.

All We Need is Information

2008-06-16T20:11:00.013-04:00

Hello all...

I know that many of the people want to help the others or poor people or children... But they think that they really need money to help them. Its not correct always. Reality is that most of the time you don't need money to help others. All you need is to provide information and your helping hand. Let me tell you about this in detail.

If you find an orphan in the streets or in a railway station or in a bus station, then you can join him in the near by orphanage. To do that all you need is to know near by orphanage. If you find old men then you can join them in old age homes which accommodate the old people for free of cost. You find one near to your location and join them in it, at least they can get food and shelter. If some one is looking for money support for education or surgery etc. then you can tell them where they can get the scholarships for their study or the inst offering the education for free of cost. In case of surgery etc. you can provide information for them about the inst.s where they make surgeries etc. for less or no money.

So people all we need is information MOST OF THE TIMES. So we can search and give the information. Its in our hands. So please don't delay. Get the information required and distribute between the people. Please know the near by NGOs or Orphanages or Old age homes etc. also know about the inst where people can their needs for low cost or for free. If you know about them please post them in comment section. I will make it available for all others. Wake up.. and Know the information and pass it on...

Please Pass This to All...

Orphans and Vulnerable Children in India

2008-06-13T11:21:00.002-04:00

Please Spend a min... Look at this...

India is the worlds largest democracy with a population of over a billion-400 million of which are children. India is known for its multi-ethnic, multi-lingual and multi-religious background. It has 15 official languages and 36 states and union territories. There are approximately 673 million Hindus, 95 million Muslims,19 million Christians, 16 million Sikhs, 6 million Buddhists and 3 million Jainsin India. Approximately 26% of the Indian population lives below the poverty line and 72 % live in rural areas.

It is estimated that India currently has 5.1 million people living with HIV/AIDS and about 310,000 persons died of AIDS in India in 1999. UNICEF estimates that 30,000 babies are born HIV positive each year. Even thought the percentage of the Indian population infected with HIV/AIDS is 0.9%, it has the second largest number of people infected with HIV/AIDS in the world, the first being South Africa. Despite the many recorded gains in the recent past, issues such as gender inequity, poverty, illiteracy and the lack of basic infrastructure play an important role in hindering HIV/ AIDS prevention and treatment programs in India.

The impact of the AIDS crisis has not begun to fully emerge in India and AIDS related orphaning has not been documented. Yet, it is estimated that India has the largest number of AIDS orphans of any country and this number is expected to double in the next five years. Out of the 55,764 identified AIDS cases in India 2,112 are children. It is estimated that 14% of the 4.2 million HIV/AIDS cases are children below the age of 14. A study conducted by the ILO (international Labour Organization) found that children of infected parents are heavily discriminated-35% were denied basic amenities and 17% were forced to take up petty jobs to augment their income.

Child labor in India is a complex problem and is rooted in poverty. Census 1991 data suggests that there are 11.28 million working children in India. Over 85% of this child labor is in the country’s rural areas and this number has risen in the past decade. The girl child is particularly vulnerable. Even though the Indian government has passed over 9 acts prohibiting and limiting child labor, the number of children in the work force has not diminished. Conservative estimates state that around 300, 000 children in India are engaged in commercial sex.

Its shocking that Child prostitution is socially acceptable in some sections of Indian society through the practice of Devadasi. Young girls from socially disadvantaged communities are given to the 'gods' and they become a religious prostitute. Devadasi is banned by the Prohibition of Dedication Act of 1982. This system is prevalent in Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka,Tamil Nadu,Kerala, Maharashtra,Orissa, Uttar Pradesh and Assam. More than 50 % of the devadasis become prostitutes: of which nearly 40 per cent join the sex trade in urban brothels and the rest are involved in prostitution in their respective villages. According to the National Commission on Women an estimated 250,000 women have been dedicated as Devadasis in Maharashtra-Karnataka border. A study conducted in 1993 reported that 9% of the devadasis are HIV positive in Belgaum district in Karnataka. Human Rights Watch estimates that approximately 18 million children live or work on the streets of India. Majority of these children are involved in crime, prostitution, gang related violence and drug trafficking.

Eventually all patients with AIDS cases in high risk states are to be treated. A new law is being drafted under which doctors will no longer be able to refuse treatment to people with HIV and discrimination against children with HIV will also be banned . Harsher penalties for selling fake medicines or making claims about the effects of untested medicines are also likely to be included in the legislation. There are approximately 470 NGOs working with vulnerable children in India and 30 directly work with AIDS orphans.

Please Help the AIDS orphans and poor children. If you find some one Please Join them in nearby one of NGOs or in an Orphanage.

Hello all...Good to see you here... I am Potluri (I like to all call me so). Almost all of us are well educated and all needs. But think about a minute about the children who don't have food who don't have cloths, who don't have shelter and who don't have education.... Its really sad about them... But don't leave the matter there by expressing your grief to them.. Please do something. If they are starving then give them a meal. It costs you nothing for you but much much for them. If they don't have cloths at least give them which you don't use anymore. If they don't have shelter, there are many orphanages where you can join them and help them to study... Please don't wait for the politicians or others to do it. Because its our responsibility as a citizen to help the other citizens. Tomorrow Indian future depends on children now. So help them to let your children live in a better society. Dint let them to become thieves, criminals or beggars... please help and let them become a doctor, an engineer or a layer etc. If one out of all who read this will help them then there is a real meaning for this blog...
