Time for a moral revolution in India

We have seen it all. There have been ups and downs in our economic and political history, but nothing that has now been seen in the past few years -- a systematic and organized way of the rich and the neo rich to become very rich in the name of globalization, and a vast majority not even forming a small part of the so-called boom.

Piggy-back riders: never allow yourself to be taken for a ride!

Life is full of challenges. There are very good people, not so good people, and not at all good people, with whom we interact on an everyday basis. We have no other choice, as otherwise, we would never be able to accomplish anything in this world.

India is at cross-roads. While the economy is booming, and the rupee is very strong, we have cities that are chocked to death, and where traffic is a nightmare. So is the water problem or the power situation or the law and order problem, made worse by the presence of the underworld, having very powerful political connections.

Need for a philosophical approach towards life

There is absolutely no doubt that we have a crisis of character in most parts of the world. The rich nations continue to plunder the poor ones through a series of controls and trade restrictions.

Values : Looking beyond the Devil and the Deep Sea Dilemma

There are several times when we are confronted with reality: we do something which is in direct conflict with what should be done ideally. In other words, we very much know what is right, and yet, we do the wrong thing, just trying to compromise for that one moment. However, the precise problem is that we do it again and again.

I like him, because....

It is a perfectly normal human reaction. It is as natural as water or happiness or sadness. The only thing that is not normal is that we tend to have extreme opinions about someone or many people, which is very bad.

Don't buy the fate theory

There are hundreds of thousands of men and women and, more so in India, who simply say, "it is all my fate". This is a very dangerous stance to take in one's life, and this should never ever be accepted by anyone. In other words, we should not buy this "fate" theory.

Just look around what is happening around us. There are hundreds of thousands of people doing something or the other. Many attribute their present set of circumstances to God. Or fate, as they often do. Yet, there are millions who always crave to do something new, create value at every stage of their lives, for themselves as well as others.
