Do We Need More Terror Attacks To Act?

The recent attacks on India’s Financial Capital and India clearly prove a few things:

– we are helpless

– we are indifferent

– we expect politicians to act

The audacity of attacks and the regularity of terror strikes has not moved us yet. We will enjoy today’s holiday, make few calls to check the safety of friends and then go back to daily life.

Lives of innocent people have been lost. Lives of brilliant officers have been sacrificed. 

I heard a few comments that some foreigners have been affected this time and hence Government will act. Do we foreign government to pressurize us to act? Are Indian lives cheaper?

Will we make our representatives accountable and force them to act? We are not passing the buck to them. Everyone has a role to play and we have chosen them for protecting country’s interests. Let us ask questions and be more demanding. 

Will the next elections bring us Change? Or do we need more terror attacks?

Save The Earth : The Story Of Stuff

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 !

Live2Give : Dhanax

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
