Slumdog Millionaire is creating buzz all around. The movie follows the universal themes of love, destiny and determination. It is based on Vikas Swarup’s novel Q & A.
The movie has music by A R Rahman and stars Anil Kapoor, Irfan Khan along with the lead actor Dev Patel.
Kartik shared the following website with me - The Story of Stuff.
The video is remarkably different and creatively presented. Annie Leonard’s concepts and thoughts are beautiful expressed. The most important thing - it makes sense!
Mindless Consumption needs to be controlled. Thrift needs to be encouraged. We have a responsibility towards Environment, Future Generations and Third World Nations.
The Story of Stuff - Highly recommended !

I come across lots of friends and well-wishers who wish to contribute to fellow human beings. Often, they do not have the time or the right information. They are ready to offer financial help, provided there is enough proof that the money is constructively and ethically utilized.
In this context, one of the interesting concepts is Dhanax. It is the online-offline person to person lending platform.
I have not used Dhanax so far. However, Dhanax and its founder is growing strong. In fact, its founder is nominated for MTV Youth Icons Of 2008.
Check Dhanax : How It Works! Its a good cause!

If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.
: Emily Dickinson
Live To Give is a concept of giving back to society. Whatever way. Whatever time. Helping anyone.
Live To Give is not an organization, it is a mantra for life. We have to leave the world by giving more than we received from it. We have to leave every place by making it better than what we found it.
Live To Give is an idea to get people to help each other. Organizations, individuals can help in any manner they deem fit. If you are good in accounts, please help an old age home to manage its accounts. If you are good in technology, help someone to learn computers. If you are good in marketing, please help the neighborhood library to add more members. If you love children, visit orphanages and spread joy. If you are well-connected, connect the have-nots with haves. The haves will be thankful. However, Live To Give is not helping just the have-nots or the non-elite. Not at all!
Live To Give is a way of life. Give wherever you can. Give your best at work place. Give your best at home. Give your best to the fellow passenger on train. Give your best to the stranger looking for directions. Give your best to the friend in your life.
What will matter the most to us? How much did we earn or what difference we made in the environment?
Aaru wanted to access print ads of Union Bank of India. Here they are:
Obama Wins!
The change is in!
A great step forward for America.
Merit has won. Hard work has won. New vision has won. Change has won.
The world’s biggest democracy is watching…a country where a woman was the PM for a huge amount of time…where once the Prime Minister, President, Leader of Majority party were all belonging to minority….
Congratulations to Obama. All the best. More hard work ahead as you have set up lots of expectations! But let us celebrate the victory today!
Cheers!
Anil Kumble announced his retirement on Sunday. A sad day, but this day had to come.
I have special admiration for Anil Kumble. He is the man of character. He is the man of values. He is the man with competitive spirit. He is the man of courage.
He is a great role model for everyone - across sports, across countries. A perfect gentleman.
I remember his bowling in Antigua against West Indies with a broken jaw. That is commitment.
I remember his bowling in Kotla against Pakistan where he got perfect 10 wickets. That is excellence.
He was never involved in any ego-clash, controversies in 19 long years. That is character.
Kumble. A special era has ended with you. It was privilege watching you. It will take time and class to reach to your standards.
