The Change

We always see people talking about things they would like to see changed in the world. But we rarely hear them saying what they have done from their side. What we fail to realize is that the change should start from us.

Think about the environment. If I took a poll of any large group of people and ask if they care about the water supply and would they like to see better global care of water, most would say yes. If I ask if they leave the water running while they brush their teeth, wash the car twice a week or take long showers regularly, most would say yes.
It is as if we think there is going to be this global magical event that will create the changes we want to see, while we continue to live our lives as we always have. We also tend to ignore what is happening around the world as long as our own interests aren’t involved.
This week think about the actions you take and multiply them times a million; or even better, one hundred million. If you take your own bag to the supermarket, that’s 100 million plastic or paper bags not used that day. If you do, that is 100 million bags used that day. If you are nice to other people that is 100 million people being nice to other people around the world. One of those other people might be kind to someone you really care about that lives somewhere else.
Think about the reverse, if you are short tempered and drive in an aggressive manner and cut people off, then that’s 100 million people driving like that. Sounds dangerous. And maybe one of those 100 million cuts off someone you love and they get into an accident.
Our individual behavior adds up to a global condition. We need to develop a global conscious and realize that each of us is important, our behavior matters. Don’t expect change to happen without you. As Mahatma Gandhi said, “You must be the change you want to see in the world.”
Don’t live with your eyes closed, either to what is happening in the world, or about your own behavior. Open your eyes and realize that each of us is powerful and what we do has an effect of positive change both in the world and over our individual lives.
This week be powerful and start changing the world by the actions you take. If you take action today in your life you are changing the world today. Don’t put it off, waiting for some magical future change to take place.
Together we are changing the world!

Elections in Karnataka

Here it comes again .. The time of elections in Karnataka..

It is almost certain that the state assemble elections in Karnataka will be held in last week of may 2008 and official announcement about this is expected within a weeks time.

After allmost 6 months of Governers rule, the people of karnataka is hoping for a fair election and a stable government. People here are fed up with the dirty politics played by the filthy politicians who are playing with the taxpayers money. This elections should be a clear decider which throws away the people who doesnot care about the common people.

So, hope a good government comes to power in karnataka an stays in for a complete five years term.

Cheers

Pay Hike for Babus - Sixth pay commission report

Good news for our hardworking babus .. There will be hike in their salaries as per the recommendations of 6th pay commissions (election) report.. oops .. After conquering farmers with the farm loan wavier, UPA is ready for its next big election campaign ( using tax payers money though) with a package for Govt Employees.

The Sixth Pay Commission headed by justice B N Srikrishna today submitted its recommendations to Finance minister P Chidambaram this morning at the North Block.

Commission officials were tight lipped about the recommendations but added that the report had "right to reconcile the needs of employees with the overall fiscal situations".

According to sources, the finance ministry will now vet the recommendations before proposing them for a final decision by the government.

Source added that Chidambaram is likely to discuss the matter with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh as well.

Pay Commission was set in October 2006 and is widely expected to suggest an over 30% increase in salaries of 4.5 million central government employees.

The fifth pay commission recommendations sent many states into so called depression which took them upto 7 years to recover from it.. Dont know what happens this time.

Anyhow UPA is spending tax payers money to buy votes for the upcomming state and central elections.

Cheers
