Your Date of Birth

Posting your date of birth on the sites like orkut/ facebook.. is so nice, so that our friends can see that and they will wish us on the same day... but have you noticed the importance of the date of birth? It is a very important credential you are publishing on the net to everyone.
You know one thing, in some of the banks, they will use the date of birth, if you dont remember the password. So I think, I dont have to explain more...

Some environmental thoughts

Friends,

If it comes to saving environment, then everyone will become eloquent.
Let me ask you one question, how many trees(not the garden plants) have you planted in your whole life?

Some Religeous Thoughts

Hi,

I am not an atheist. But I don't think either God will live only if the house of worship is very beautiful or the people will be attracted only if the house of worship is very beautiful.

Then why are we constructing beautiful houses for worship by spending crores? If it is for a shopping mall then I can understand it. The interesting thing is, this is same for any religion even it is a church or mosque or temple.

According to me, the house of worship should be neat, very simple and big enough to hold lot of people. We are not worshiping the house, we are worshiping the God lives inside the house.

Some Traffic Thoughts

Hi Folks,

I have seen many people who are blaming the traffic system in India, especially who visited abroad. They will just do a comparison and used to complain about the system in India.
But I am not sure whether they are truly following the traffic rules in India.

I am living in Bangalore for more than 5 years. Within this time, I have never seen any traffic signal, where people have not crossed the line. You can see people driving over the foot paths, over-taking from left side, unnecessarily making horn, never allow a pedestrian to cross the road,...

If we ask for the reason, they used to tell "Hey c'mon, everyone else is doing, so why cant me?".

This is truly not the way we should do.

My request is that, you can do few things, which makes the world (at least the place) to be changed!!!
1. Please stop at the signal at the proper place.
2. Please dont try to overcome from left side.
3. Please dont drive over foot paths

Cmon, you are well educated and working in a reputed company and if you are not doing this, how can you expect the others to do?

Lets change the world through us.
