construction on foundation of distruction

Aah i know not what to say ? are we really heading towards a develop world or towards a crippled world. you may be thinking why i'm questioning in this manner?...i serious have lost my senses from the minute i saw two huge banyan trees on madivala-kormangala intersection disappear like they were never there....the two huge trees stood majestically giving company to each other, shelthering hundereds of birds and purifying tons of air on the ever polluted road. And one fine day the BBMP decides that trees were more menace than solace and raised them surface. The reason they gave was broadening of the road....i'm not againts development,but if only the trees could be transplanted to another place... world would head towards betterment, but this way constructing our future on foundation of distruction will take us no where...what is your take?

global warming in the name of 'no global warming'

A managment institute recently organised a concert by Boney M to rock for global warming awareness in bangalore. This was such a contridiction...i pity that the organiser didn't realise that they were adding to the carbon footprint by millions of tons by organising this show. They had to fly down the rockstarts which generated tons of carbon, 20,000 odd people attended the concert for which they had to travel to venue and back this would added few more tons and finally all the lighting and all the watts used up for the show...by the time i walked out of the show....i was grooving away ,the show was great boney M in their usual...but somewhere deep in my heart i was guilty that i have again added my bit to global warming

Boney M rock for global warming awareness

it was great to watch boney M...but the concert was contridicting the very cause for which it was organised...life is such a contridiction...

fear of failure, damps spirit of success

I recieved this forward from a friend of mine today which spoke about how elephants are tied with a small rope and yet this huge strong animal does not make an attempt escape. Appraently when these animals are very young a same size rope is use to tie them and, at that age, it's enough to hold them. As they grow up, they are conditioned to believe they cannot break away and hence do even try to break away ...the article ended saying "Like the elephants, how many of us go through life hanging onto a belief that we cannot do something, simply because we failed at it once before"
It's so true that many a times since we are scared of failure we do not even try doing a number of things, or even if we do, muster the courage to do something and end up in a failure we stop trying further.
I feel the culprit is 'Fear' which ingrained into us when we were little children...i shall write on fear in my next blog
