Light Up Rural India !

We all are aware of the saying “Let there be Light”. Yes, as soon as the Sun goes down, there comes the danger of darkness. Light is the basic necessity of each Household. Imagine your Evening and Nights without the Lights. Yeah, I know that one can’t even imagine about this. But there are people in our very own Rural Areas of India, who not only have to imagine but also suffer from this Light Shortage. Their most basic activities at the home can’t be met with the need. In order to fight this obstacle, here is this Initiative “Light Up Rural India”. This is supposed to be achieved by distribution of Solar Lanterns which are eco as well as cost friendly.

We think

philanthropy is,

the prerogative of the rich,

that only they can ‘afford’ to give away,

what they don’t need,

without a hitch,

Perks of an Indian Train Journey

You step out of the house,

wondering why the hell on earth,

you chose to go by train,

when of planes, there was no dearth!

You then remind yourself,

At least it’s air-conditioned,

What if it takes

a day and half to reach your destination!

Mother dies, delivers ‘normal baby’, then comes back to life timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/us/Mothe… — Times of India (@timesofindia) May 26, 2013

 

Dedicated to

the innumerable mothers

who love their children unconditionally

and to the children who are fortunate enough

to receive it!

Her heart stopped beating,

she was all but dead,

There was not a glimmer of hope,

was what they said.

She was pregnant too,

and her baby was due,

An #inspiring story about two extraordinary lives, joined together in one extraordinary wedding! thebetterindia.com/7123/a-wedding… #Heroes

— The Better India (@thebetterindia) May 9, 2013

 

 

Some get married for love,

some do so for family,

but they married for a cause,

so noble and eleemosynary!

 

 

It all started when the girl,

set eyes on a six months baby,

abandoned by a teenage mother,

who was an HIV +ve lady.

The tiny tot wasn’t infected,

all she needed was a home,

Manoeuvring a Mumbai Marketplace

 

Going to shop

in a bustling marketplace

is a lot like going to war…

You won’t get what you want

without a scrape or fight..

 

But,

it is entertaining,

even humorous..

in hindsight!

 

Hawkers on your left,

Hawkers on your right,

Poor old footpaths..

nowhere in sight!

Streets of India

Skyscrapers glossy, the village dust

Hollow sounds of an empty stomach

Burgers, fried chickens, bellies to burst

Half naked juveniles, ill-fated luck

Mammoth cine hoardings standing tall

Sleeping beggar with a ragged bowl

Monies pouring in for a new mall

Pot holed roads, people crying foul
