SAVE WATER -SAVE EARTH

Recently ,while watching SATYAMEVA JAYATE  I was surprised to know how our holy water GANGA is being polluted.We at the name of our holy rituals drop so many things in the river .GANGA as we all know used to carry pure drinking water, which is still used in  our prayers and Pooja.It is is regarded so holy that all your sin gets washed off once we take bath in it.It is being given to dying people with a belief that it will clear his soul of all evils and reach him to the heaven.........But now the river is polluted.Whom to be blamed? The onus is on us.There is scarcity of drinking water in so many places but the people who get it sufficiently don't realizes it's value.

              On the other hand lack of proper sanitation inIndia is also responsible for making our holy river dirty. INDIAcelebrated it's 66th  INDEPENDENCE DAY but truely how many of us have done something for this nation.Statistics conducted by UNICEF in the year 2008 have shown that only 31% of India's population is using improved sanitation facilities . A  UN study observed more people in India having access to a mobile phone than to a toilet as in 2010.Just 366million people (30.5%)had access to proper sanitation.

           Due to improper sanitation facilities in India people defecate in the open rivers .1gram of feces could potentially contain 10 million viruses,1 million bacteria,1000 parasite cysts and 100 worm eggs.The Ganges river in India has a stunning 1.1 million lts. of raw sewage being disposed into it  every minute.

           Can we imagine of what's going to happen to our holy water? So friends it's a high time to make  people aware of the reactions of their own action.We all have a group and we all are leaders.So why not start awareness program   from our own.

CHANGES IN LIFE................

                                             
Just back from the get together .............thinking  about the early days .With time people's way of thinking also changes.;Feeling very nostalgic..........before getting merried whenever my parents used to tell me about an invitation I simply used to deny .I never liked to join any gatherings ,because i used to  get bore.I was happy with my work schedule in my student life ....and later with my my job.I never liked to go somewhere where there  are lots of people looking at me and the place where I can't be like how I am.
    Now  ,at present situation when i have to quit my job for my daughter...I have to stay back at home....no relatives, no friends ....no duties other than family  I really get bore.Now I want to mix with people ,Iwant to make friends,Iwant to get back to my teaching proffession .........but all seems running away from me .Now I realise why we should always be in touch with our relatives....our friends .....its only because some time they become our medicine for our lonely life. Mixing with people knowing them sometimes helps us to solve our  problem.
         I realised that the thought came to my mind after I became mother. Before that I never had such strong feeling to mix up.
          With parenting lots of changes comes . As you go on teaching your child you too have lots of things to learn from your kids. Your patience  and love also grows with your child. You learn to cope with worst situation by handling them.My daughter is now 4yrs. old and now I realize those changes in me .                                                                                                                          When I joined school I used to see the tensed parents living there child for the first time in school and think why on earth they are so worried.Am I going to beat there child?But believe me friends when that time came to me I was shaking.......looking at my daughter shouting and crying.I couldn't move from the school gate  and after 2hrs I came home with my daughter.That experience made me think many things.
          It made me apolozise to those parents whom I always used to avoid because of their worries for their child.It's really true that unless you have one child you miss out many emotions in this world and you never understand others feelings.
         I am blessed to have one .Thanks to the almighty to give me an oppotunity to go through all such emotions and understand other .Now I think it would be more easier for me to handle other parents when I will start again with my teaching proffession.
