Dil - Emma

‘Bad things happen to good people because they deserve more than what’s good’.  Yet there are situations where we fail to distinguish what is good or bad for us. ‘This or that’. It happens quite often. Perhaps we all must have experienced it. This situation has been named perfectly by a terminology ‘DILEMMA’. It is basically a situation in which it is difficult to make a choice .It could be regarding anything because our brains have the ability to make the easiest the toughest and vice versa.

Dilemma could be whether continuing our degree like other’s prefer or opt for your interest, go with your love or stay with your family, chose to be individual or a social being, work for respect or live for money.

Well if there’s a problem there lies a solution too. The root origin of any problem is because it has a solution. Dilemma word always sound like a problem. But if you go deep into this word you are going to get a solution too. Let’s break it. ‘Dil- Emma’. No matter what your state is the ‘Dil – Emma’ concept will always insist you to come out of it. Let’s see how.

Let’s keep the ‘Dil’ word aside just for few seconds. Focus on the ‘EMMA’.

     E- Ensure that whatever you chose out of the available alternatives is your sole decision           (Not influenced by others)

     M- Measure the severity of each and every situation

     M- Match it with your capabilities (And your audacity of saying ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ to things )

     A - Assure you do not forget to Appreciate yourself for choosing it all by yourself (Self appreciation is the best self booster)

Once you are done with the EMMA part. You will find things resolved it all by themselves. The reason being dil won’t argue anymore as your brain has wisely captivated it. See how easy it is. Try it. Share your experience. Would love to listen it from you all.

" बूंद में जीवन "

किसी नल के नीचे बाल्टी रखना, खाली बाल्टी, नल को बंद करके थोड़ा सा खोल  देना, एकदम थोड़ा सा,

एक एक बून्द गिरे बाल्टी में इतना सा ही खोलना, एक एक बून्द जल्दी जल्दी बाल्टी में गिरने लगेगी,

कुछ समय के बाद बाल्टी भर जाएगी, अब थोड़ा सा ध्यान दीजिये,

बाल्टी मौत है, नल ईश्वर है , हमारा एक जन्म नल से बाल्टी तक का सफर है, हवा रस्ते की संसार है,

जितना पानी भरता जा रहा हमारे संचित कर्म है, और हम बून्द है, 

समय की रफ़्तार इतनी तेज़ है की पता नहीं चलता कब नल से छूटे और कब बाल्टी में समां गए,

बस इतना देखना है की क्या बून्द बाल्टी तक पहुंचने में ये जान पायेगी की वो बून्द नहीं बल्कि ईश्वर का अंग है,

जो ईश्वर में से निकल के ईश्वर में ही विलीन होने जा रहा है, अगर बून्द ने ये जान लिया तो फिर,

ना बाल्टी है, ना हवा है, ना सफर है, ना नल है , बस बून्द ही है ,

और अगर नहीं जान पायी, तो काल कालांतर तक ये ही चलता रहेगा |

OUTDOORS & HEALTH

When I was a kid, summer vacations used to be a most awaited time for me. I could go out to my nani’s place and can visit the farms (natural beauty), play in the garden with my friends until the sun went down. I kept myself quite occupied without any of today’s modern technologies.

Now, exams are about to finish and there are hundreds of television stations, video games, and interactive Web sites that will keep kids occupied for hours on end. Kids staying indoors for a long period of time have prolonged negative effects extending far beyond childhood. They start missing something that is essential for their health and development. Parents think that their child is safe and will not develop any health problems if they stay indoors all the time. The truth is that a child who spends more time indoors gets subjected to Social, Physical and Emotional problems.

There are many health benefits that make outdoor play great for children.

Ø  Control childhood obesity

The prevalence of childhood obesity is increasing; Part of this huge increase is contributed to less outdoor. It's hard to get enough active play and exercise if you're always inside playing video games or watching TV. And without enough exercise, kids can become overweight.

Ø  Bone health

Vitamin D increases with outdoor exposure to the sun. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends just 10 minutes of early morning sun exposure per day for a good daily vitamin D dose. Vitamin D helps in calcium absorption, protect children from heart disease, diabetes and bone problems.

Ø  Reduce stress

Spending time outdoors has been linked with lower stress levels in children. Playing outdoor games for at least 30 minutes every day can do wonders to refresh and rejuvenate physically and mentally.

Ø  Promote creative and innovation

Outdoors, a child learns on multiple levels with each new adventure (Burdette and Whitaker, 2005). With all of the imaginary castles, lands, creatures, the brain develops at a much faster rate than for those who play indoors. There are numerous effects. Not only do they become better learners, and do well in school, but they are more fun to be around (i.e. they make more friends)

Benefits of outdoor games:

Physical development

·         Physical strength

·         Balance

·         Muscular strength

·         Hand eye coordination

·         Flexibility

·         Weight control

·         Cardiovascular endurance

Social development

·         Citizenship

·         Discipline

·         Teamwork

·         Leadership

·         Confidence boosting

·         Communication skills development

·         Feeling of freedom

·         Awareness

Few examples of outdoor games:

Tracking, Cycling, Walking, Gardening, Hide and seek, Jump rope, Ice water, Sports like cricket, football, basketball, badminton etc.

It’s good for our kids to be outside more often. As a parent, it’s our responsibility to provide varied opportunities for outdoor play, exploration and games.

ORGAN DONATION- THE GIFT OF A LIFETIME

Indore has now entered among the top Indian cities in organ donation. We are now ranked second (amongst cities) when a sum total is calculated for eye, skin and cadaver donations. We have now started making a green corridor and transporting the organ to other cities by air.

This news has captured everyone’s eyes last week, but there are still few myths related to this. Let’s understand the whole stuff…

What is organ donation?

Organ donation is the donation of biological tissue or an organ of the human body from a living or dead person to a living recipient in need of a transplantation. The donor of the organs plays a role of God in the life of organ transplanted person. One organ donor can save more than 8 lives in his life by donating his well function organs. 

A reality check

More than 5 lakhs of the Indians are dying every year just because of the failure of their major functioning organs anytime.

·         200,000 people die of liver disease

·         50,000 people die from heart disease

·         150,000 people await a kidney transplant but only 5,000 get one

·         1,000,000 people suffer from corneal blindness and await transplant

Law for safe organ donation

To prevent the commercial dealing in human organs a Transplantation of Human Organs (THO) Act was passed in 1994. Aim of this act is to regulate the removal, storage and transplantation of human organs for therapeutic purposes only.

Who can donate?

·         A deceased donor, after brain death or cardiac death

·         A living donor, who can give a kidney, or a portion of the liver, lung, intestine or pancreas

Which organs can be donated?

Up to 25 different organs and tissues can be donated for transplantation.

Transplant able organs include :-

·         Heart

·         Kidneys

·         Liver

·         Lungs

·         Pancreas

·         Small intestines

Transplantable tissues include

·         Blood, blood vessels

·         Eyes

·         Skin

·         Bones

·         Bone marrow

·         Cartilage

·         Connective tissues

·         Heart valves

Maximum time span between recovering organs/ tissues and transplantation

Lung                    (4-6 hours)

Heart                   (4-6 hours)

Liver                    (12 hours)

Pancreas             (12 hours)

Kidney                 (12 hours)

Skin                     (6-12 hours)

Corneas               (14 days)

Reason for low organ donation rate

Most of the people do not have proper awareness about the organ donation, which organs can be donated, when they can donate, how to get registered for the organ donation, etc. Some people do not interested in the organ donation or do not show their independent desire for organ donation because of the family pressure or their own fear and myths.

How to donate

There are two ways to donate organs:

1.   

By pledging for organ donation when a person is alive

2.   By consent of family after death

Indian Society of Organ Transplantation was initiated the Transplant Registry in India in 2005. There is a facility of online organ registry for the people all over India who are willing to donate organs on their own will. Organ registry ensures the proper organ donation as well as the fair use of donated organs in the future according to the priority of need and requirements of the organs to the recipients.  Please visit the following website for registration :-

"श्रमदान"

क्या हम अपने घर में कचरा फेंकते हैं, कभी नहीं ।
क्या अपने घर की सफीई करना निम्न कार्य है, नहीं ।
क्या हम अपने मेहमान से सफई कराते हैं, बिलकुल नहीं ।
क्या उस घर में ईशवर का वास होता है, जो स्वच्छ नहीं, कभी नहीं ।
- उमंग

ईश्वर ने प्रकृति के रूप में जो हमें अनमोल तौफा दिया है , उसे लौटना तो इंसान के बस में नहीं , लेकिन जिस प्रकर्ति के कारण हमारा जीवन चल रहा है उसके लिए कुछ करना हमारा कर्तव्य है जिससे हमें कभी नहीं चूकना चाहिए । भले वो वृक्षारोपण हो या प्रकर्ति की सफाई करना , भले वो किसी की मदद करना हो या हमेशा सत्य की राह पे चलना , हर काम अंत में प्रकर्ति में ही सम्लित होता है , तो ये हमारी नैतिक ज़िम्मेदारी है की हम प्रकर्ति को वैसा ही शुद्ध तौफा दे जैसा उसने हमें दिया है , हमारी हर सांस तक प्रकर्ति की देन है , रोज़ मर्रा की दिक्कते और दिन चर्या के कामो में इंसान इतना व्यस्त हो जाता है की वो अपना मूल कारण भूल जाता है , जो की है परमात्मा से मिलन , प्रकर्ति भी ईश्वर का ही स्वरुप है , अगर आप प्रकर्ति से मेलजोल बनाये रखेंगे तो ईश्वर का  हाथ भी आप पे अपने आप रहेगा , मैं "अनंत अमन सोशल वेलफेयर सोसाइटी" का धन्यवाद करना चाहता हूँ की उन्होंने मुझे इस काबिल समझा और प्रकर्ति एवं परमात्मा

से मिलने और उसके साथ समय बिताने का मौका दिया ।

<***>Diwali Fest..<***>

One of the auspicious Celebration, pious fest, full of zest, zeal and enthusiasm.

We celebrate this festival with our family, friends, relatives, purchase new clothes, distribute Sweets, visit each other's home to wish and share some time with our loved ones.

It's our pleasure to share this time with those who usually have an eye at their door step that someone will visit and share happiness with them. Some one will come who will bring new clothes, sweets, crackers etc for them. Those ignored kids always wait for kind hearts who would come to devote their time.

With this thought, our NGO AnantAman Social Welfare Society organized Diwali Celebration at Orphange.. 

At 10:00 AM we reached at orphange. When kids there saw us, the smile on their face was unforgettable. Really it was like those kids were waiting only for us.

From 10:15 am onnwards all our NGO members started gathering. Celebration started with small interaction with kids. 

On the demand of kids their at 10:30 am we started making arrangements for 'Dal Bafla'.

All our members shared several responsibility on their shoulders..

All the things were going smoothly as all members duly taken care of all responsibilities taken and well coordinated with each other.

Dance on Dhol, Rangoli, Jokes, various amazing games etc all this make those kids cheerful, delighted.

Now the children feel hungry and were waiting for the food to be get ready as soon as possible.

By 1:15 pm food was ready to be served to children.

By 2:00 Pm we all got free from lunch and then proceed for the Clothes and Sweet Distribution.

Our members donated New Clothes to kids there and again a small fun activity was organized for them.

When we had to depart from there all the faces looked cheerless and kids were asking when you all will come back?

Although it is true to say that Crackers create pollution but we have to break our rules for a day to bring smile on all those dull faces. We distributed some crackers among kids. 

May be it's a new way for some one, may be it's common way to some to enjoy in this manner but really not only those kids even we all people felt so much joy that when 5 hours passed no one realized. 

"Really these are wonderful memories to preserve"

Whatever happens.. happens for good..!!

May be it wasn't meant to be your destiny..

May be it just wanted to remain a small chunk of your destiny….

May be everything today for you sounds to be tricky..

May be this world to you now seems to be freaky….

May be worst phase has gone but some of it's unwanted moments still remain sticky..

May be now you no more bother of what's going on as you started living lonely and now no more a finicky….

May be it is really proving to be tough but believe me adversity is for short span only the atrocious moments make things messy..

But trust me life is unpredictable; a complete combo of joy and sorrow, every  phase has it's own latency….

And at times it's okay even if things are not going okay let the real you understand the harsh realities of life in this state of dormancy..

Eventually after this dormant stage I am certain that you come up with energy like never ever before and will become deterministic just like a crazy….

And the world will recognize you for what you are along with what all you faced but still raised by setting a perfect afflatus even after being creaky..

No choice but begging

At 56shops, 28th August 2015

A girl: Please give me some money. I'll buy something to eat.

Me: No I'll not give you money but if you are really hungry I'll buy you something to eat.

Girl: No but I need money.

Me: You said you were hungry.

Girl: Give me money I have to buy something for grandmother as well.

Me: What about your parents?

Please

Girl: I don't know. I live with grandmother.

Me: What is your name?

Girl: I don't know.

Me: Where do you live?

Girl: Nanda Nagar..

Me: That's too far from here. Why do you come here?

Girl: I get good money at 56shops.

Me: Your Grandmother asks you to come here?

Girl: No. I come by my own.

Me: Do you study?

Girl: I want to but I don't have time.

That was a moment which stuck me in deep thoughts..

She appeared to be around 7-8years of age, very weak in physical appearance yet full of energy even after a hot day. I desperately wanted to help her but I didn't wanted to give money. I was helpless. 

We know she could go to a government school where she will be provided with one time meal but what about her grandmother who was unable to work. All responsibility of her family was on her shoulders. Though she was begging on streets, but she did get something to eat at end of the day after all she had no choice because she couldn't be employed anywhere due to regulations prohibiting child labour. Now she has only one choice — begging. 

Lets assume a different scenario..

What if government prohibited child labour subject to certain terms and conditions, like they always do in other acts and laws like IT. If condition were like children could be employed at day time only if they attended school in morning or night, regularly or on alternate days. There attendace would be monitored to get them employment. I know many would be offending my opinion but i do belive that working at a good place and earning someting is far better than begging. Providing them work and earning opportunities only if they are regular to school will certainly help. Many people would be holding an argument that we can't ask children to work, but do these people really feel that children aren't working already. When they will have a fix amount coming in at the end of a day they would be less worried about what they will eat. Thus they will have some interest towards school. There are many success stories of people who started working at very young age and became pioneers in there field. So why not children on streets get a chance to earn something with respect. 

Some facts and figures..

I personally observed at 56 shops that number of children begging for money are constantly increasing. Towards end of august I noticed two girls who regularly wandered there. By end of September there were 4-5 children who were frequently observed there.. Somehow there numbers are increasing on streets this is the matter of concern.

Cleanliness — Godliness

'Cleanliness is next to godliness' .This beautiful line truely fillls my heart with ecstasy whenever it strikes my ears.May be yesterday we had some loopholes,may be till today we have not yet improvised.But being a nifty neopyte i do believe that tommorrow will be a brighter day with completely revitalised thoughts and rejuvenated goals.I am neither a politician nor any party's immitator.I m just a common voice of lakhs of young bloods who wish to behold Indore city as safest as well cleanest city not just in India but in the whole world.It's the exacting time to spread awareness related to cleanliness and vanish the stingy smell widely spread in the avenues of our city.Because if we dream our city to become a 'smart city' we need to transgend it into 'cleanest city' foremost.I never consider picking broomsticks, capturing snaps and editing it by insta beauty on some oppulent occasions would create the difference. But i strongly believe that initiating such events and active participation in it on a regular basis with apt survillence would certainely aid and then our city will get it's right place in right terms being heart of Central India shimmering it's real essence.Although Indore being a very populous city of a rough estimate of around 30-50 lakhs people but still if we target small zones we can accomplish our objective.I simply meant if Indore can be referred as 'Mini Mumbai',if it can be an education hub,if it can be a food hub then why not cleanliness hub? Few steps to go ahead and certainely the scenario will change.Recently i visited to a small town Sailana (dist-Ratlam) which is being continuously awarded as cleanest town in Madhya Pradesh.That is not at all miracle,it's authentic because of the combined efforts of ruling body as well as residents residing there.Nobody ever dare to throw garbage on roads,proper garbage vehicles are allotted to each zone with door to door service in morning as well as evening.Every home is being allocated with a dustbin.So this  is exactly what needs to be done.If in a small town the level of awareness could be to such an extent,then Indore is a city where awareness is never a barrier.Even if a single voice will raise,lakhs will support if the content is appropiate.So unleash your potential and fulfill your urge of crowning your city with the sobriquet of 'the cleanest city' not just in India but in the whole world.Plz join our campaign 'Ek kadam swachta ki aur' to fulfill our dreams.
