On 15th of August, Times group launched a never before campaign, Lead India. This initiative is very special in many ways, its a search of a leader who can fearlessly lead this country and think of public interest and also this show is motivating people to change the mindset of blaming others for everything. I think its a great initiative and it will defiantly make people think the way they can help the country.
I like the entire concept of the show, to start with its tag line is DO, its kinda encouraging. If you want to change the world, start changing yourself first. Even small things can make a big difference, like following traffic rules or not throwing any waste on the road or anything that you think that will help in making the place better then ever. Initially people might ignore your efforts or they might make fun of you, but no effort go for a waste, they will realize and will start following your footprints and thats when you will find a leader in you and yeah as I said small things you have ignored so far could make a big difference.
We have a tendency to blame others for every small thing, say blaming government, your society or your manager ( sometimes :-)) but try to make every possible effort from your side and make sure you do what you can do to solve the issue, in short DO.
I was in Pune last weekend, and happened to visit AdLabs, a chain of theaters by Reliance Group. The unique thing about them is they play National anthem before every movie everyday, isn't it awesome. It was lovely to see so many people standing and singing Jana Gana Man. I know thats its a very small thing but it makes a big difference. It makes us think about the country at least for a min.
Lead India is just a beginning, people are taking extra effort to change themselves and people around them. You wont believe but on Sunday when every one wants to take rest and chill out, employees of Dell India Pvt Ltd helps traffic police to educate people about traffic rules and Google employees visit an orphanage on Sunday to spend some time with children out der and they have also made a group to clean up roads here in Hyderabad. Although they are doing different things but the motive is the same. This is just the beginning hope to see you in many of such things. Now its on you to think how you can contribute...

How to Reach Chilkur Balaji Temple Hyderabad
After i wrote the post about chilkur Balaji temple of Hyderabad, I have got many question about how to reach chilkur Balaji, so I have decided to wrote this post about reaching there:
Chilkuru Balaji temple is around 30 k.m. from Hyderabad , actually Chilkur is a village where the temple is located. Public transport are easily available from MehandiPatnap and from all the major place in the city.
I found this map while searching online, hope it helps!!! (courtsey : some website)

Things that u wont learn at school...
-> Life is not fair; get used to it.
-> The world won't care about your self esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.
-> You will NOT make $40,000 a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice president with a car phone, until you earn both.
-> If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss. He doesn't have tenure.
-> Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your grandparents had a different word for burger flipping; they called it opportunity.
-> If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.
-> Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you are. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parents' generation, try "debugging" the closet in your own room.
-> Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life has not. In some schools they have abolished failing grades; they'll give you as many times as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.
-> Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you find yourself. Do that on your own time.
-> Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.
Comments pls!!!

The Brick!!!!
Hi all, it’s a long time since I last blogged, I am back again with a lovely story. I found this one amazingly good,
The Brick!!!
A young and successful executive was traveling down a neighborhood street, going a bit too fast in his new Jaguar. He was watching for kids darting out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something. As his car passed, no children appeared. Instead, a brick smashed into the Jag's side door! He slammed on the brakes and backed the Jag back to the spot where the brick had been thrown The angry driver then jumped out of the car, grabbed the nearest kid and pushed him up against a parked car shouting, "What was that all about and who are you? Just what the heck are you doing? That's a new car and that brick you threw is going to cost a lot of money. Why did you do it?" The young boy was apologetic. "Please, mister...please, I'm sorry but I didn't know what else to do," He pleaded. "I threw the brick because no one else would stop...." With tears dripping down his face and off his chin, the youth pointed to a spot just around a parked car. "It's my brother, "he said "He rolled off the curb and fell out of his wheelchair and I can't lift him up." Now sobbing, the boy asked the stunned executive, "Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He's hurt and he's too heavy for me."
Moved beyond words, the driver tried to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat. He hurriedly lifted the handicapped boy back into the wheelchair, then took out a linen handkerchief and dabbed at the fresh scrapes and cuts. A quick look told him everything was going to be okay. "Thank you and may God bless you," the grateful child told the stranger. Too shook up for words, the man simply watched the boy! Push his wheelchair-bound brother down the sidewalk toward their home.
It was a long, slow walk back to the Jaguar. The damage was very noticeable, but the driver never bothered to repair the dented side door. He kept the dent there to remind him of this message:
"Don't go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at you to get your attention!"
God whispers in our souls and speaks to our hearts. Sometimes when we don't have time to listen, He has to throw a brick at us. It's our choice to listen or not. God didn't promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, sun without rain, but He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears, and light for the way.
Always remember :-
"If God brings you "to it, He will bring you through it..............."
