LIFE IS PRECIOUS




When i was sitting back & checking some news websites...Heard about Pratyusha Banerjee"The Ballika badhu actress" who rose into fame as "Anandi"
Its heartbreaking to hear such kind of news she is young & has got so much to do.Its sad ...Nothing's worth ending your one beautiful gift called life for what ever may be the turmoil within her but not like this
committing suicide.Life is such a precious thing before taking any kind of step you should think about your family ,parents & near -dear ones.One wrong deed affects everyone & it just make them suffer the whole life.
In every aspect see the positive side & you will always find a ray of hope.What ever may be the situation fight it,face it & come out of it.You will always get some opportunity in the darkest of the time also like a ray of light.

Hmmm..it reminds me about a story which my granny used to tell & i wanna share it here.

A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said: "I am blind, please help." There were only a few coins in the hat. A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat.He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words. Soon the hat began to fill up.A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, "Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?" The man said, "I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way." What he had written was: "Today is a beautiful day and I cannot see it." Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing? Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind. Should we be surprised that the second sign was more effective?

Be thankful for what you have.. Be creative. Be innovative. Think differently and positively.Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the future without fear.Sometimes, you may cry. may be upset and you didn't feel worthy. But you wish u would be understood and supported, but that wasn't.

So you see the day may be dark, unmoving, or upsetting today. Experience it and feel it while it's here because it may not be so tomorrow. The next day, may be much better. A miracle can be showed up, and welcome it with open arms.

ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD


On the other side of the world:

Its a snowy winter day....lazying as my both kids have fallen asleep.If i take a peek from the window it looks so serene,tranquil and calm that you can even here your own inner voice.
Only i can see some cars moving around , dry trees with out life & slow breeze blowing,It just getting dark.Just wondering where am i ???Thousands of miles away from home just "On the other side of the world".


Its quiet different & opposite what we see in our part of the world both demographic & cultural.The climatic & demographic conditions are also very uncertain with only Summer,Fall & winter season,That too the longest of them is winter.And winter season is being so freaky .But for us the climate & weather conditions are pretty much predictable which always gives a positive impact on day to day life.

Coming to the cultural difference,our culture is known for its rich cultural heritage which is a combination of different culture,tradition,lifestyle,religion,language,rituals etc.
Thats why its called secular country with unity in diversity like people of different religion live together.We have our own socio-cultural values which has influenced us to
great extent in our lifestyles may be the close attachment to our families & love,bonding for others.And we always think about our families rather thinking individually keeping
society in mind.But now a days westernization is also seen in major parts of the society.

Western culture is referred as modern & advanced culture in the world.Its based on rights,ethical values & individualism etc which means people give more importance to their
own wants,needs,desires.Families are more self centric they dont give much importance to the society.They want equality in everything .Men & women both have same place in the society .Their self esteem is very high.

Both indian & western culture are good in their own place.In the last few decades western culture has a huge impact on indian culture may be
the individualism,equal rights to men & women and even lifestyle change in the society which helped in removing the shortcoming of the indian culture.
At the same time western culture also influenced by indian culture interms of food,yoga & its cultural heritage.And the change is always inevitable
it gives us to overcome the drawback of each society.
