“If you’re born poor it’s not your fault; but if you die poor, it’s your fault.”

I’ve heard of this saying somewhere “If you’re born poor it’s not your fault; but if you die poor, it’s definitely your fault.” Do you know the source of this quote? And do you agree on this? I feel it is not right to a certain extent. This is the perspective of a born rich person. As per my experience Time and Luck are the prime factors in all this. One day some one asked God… “God, you created the world because you loved it right? Then why are you allowing poverty and hunger destroy it? Aren’t you going to do anything about it?” Then God replied… “Yes I am…that’s why I created you!”
Can we ever live in a world where there wouldn’t be poverty? Will such a ‘perfect’ world be ‘healthy’? I mean, what if all are engineers, doctors and film stars… there won’t be any masons, or security guards, or garbage cleaners anymore! Don’t you think they are as important as others in building our world? Poverty or Richness is pre destined .. we have to suffer what the destiny has in store for us ….but we should humbly deal with the POORs because they are poor not because of their deeds but because of their luck… Mother Teresa once told… “The hunger for love is worse than hunger for food…”. In today’s world, I think its the other way round. I mean why will a malnutritioned child care for who loves him and who doesn’t. They’re just craving for a morsel of food, so that they can take each breath with ease! They need a life first, then the love…
Does it itch or prick you when you pass by a beggar, near the church, temple or elsewhere? When your having dinner at a local restaurant with your family and a boy of your age, probably younger, comes to wipe the table. He doesn’t even look at any of your faces… one because the table is his workplace, second he’s the least bothered about you!
I’ve tried this out, and I suggest you try it once too… that a smile and a nice small-talk just makes his day!
you realise that, it would be your time to leave earth, and your next generation will have to pay the price!”

ELEVEN POINTs SOMEONE.......

Not to be confused with the Chetan Bhagat creation, i am referring eleven points of someone/everyone's life. Following are the hints of life.

1. It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return. But what is more painful is to love someone and never find the courage to let that person know how you feel.
2. A sad thing in life is when you meet someone who means a lot to you, only to find out in the end that it was never meant to be and you just have to let go.
3. The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.
4. It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.
5. It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone-but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.
6. Don't go for looks, they can deceive. Don't go for wealth,even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you
smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day
seem bright.
7. Dream what you want to dream, go where you want to go,be what you want to be. Because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.
8. Always put yourself in the other's shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the person too.
9. A careless word may kindle strife. A cruel word may wreck a life. A timely word may level stress. But a loving word may heal and bless.
10. The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.
11. Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, ends with a tear. When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die,

WHOSE DAY IS IT ANYWAY??.

1ST April.. “whose day is it anyway…” is it All fools’ day or New Year’s day for us (The Indians), if it’s the beginning of the New Year, so why we make one another April Fool on this day, it’s our foolishness to start the New Year by making or being fool..as per my “a little bit” knowledge is concerned, there is no trace of folly on this day in the Indian history.. because the calendar reform was not done in India or by Indians so why we make this New Year’s day as All fools’ day, just because the westerns do so?????..therefore no pranks, no practical jokes ,no FOOLing around at all , because its our day. Happy New Year to All…..
