Happy new year 2015

The new year is about to begin and this is the time for self analysis for how we faired in last one year.

1. Whether we achieved the targets we had set for our selves?

2. Did we perform as per our capabilities?

3. Did we bring any positive difference in someone's life?

4. Did we take care of our health?

Etc. etc. ....

2014 is almost gone but are we planning something for 2015? This is the time for self analysis and planning for self betterment and betterment of people around us. We have a huge potential and we have to just understand that. 

Just give it a thought and have a great year ahead!

Pleasure of giving

Why only few should have pleasure of giving? Everyone has equal opportunity. I know group of youngsters who visit the terminally ill patients and serve them, some go to old age homes and some to home for orphans etc. What I learnt from such people is:

1. Its not only money which matters the most.

2. Its our attitude towards humanity which is more important.

3. There is no point saying I don't have material things to share with needy, but devoting our time for them can also bring happiness in the life of many.

4. Believe me it gives immense pleasure when you make people smile.

5. Our position do matter but what is the use if we don't go out of our comfort zone and make the world realize that we are there to take care of atleast few.

Enjoy the pleasure of giving!

Nation

Nation first rest all comes next!

Gesture

An old lady came to meet me yesterday in reference to a person who went missing about ten days ago near Bhusaval while traveling by train. She went to one of the police station where she had a very bad experience and getting any help was a far fetched dream. 

She narrated the whole story to me and I put people on job. She was so impressed that while leaving she politely said I will call you my son. I did not know how to react?

Few points I wish to make here are:

1. What do we lose if we politely talk to people?

2. Why can't we empathize with the people?

3. It is our conduct which plays a major role.

4. It is understood that we cannot solve each and every problem instantly or over a period of time but we can at least show concern and make people feel that we are there.

There are many more things but the moral of the story is that we should be positive and concerned towards the person in trouble. A good gesture on our part can bring so much comfort in some one's life!

Conduct

In public life all our actions are scrutinized very critically, so we must understand when to do what!

Impression

Few days back I was in Railway police head quarter Mumbai. As I was discussing issues with my officers, I was informed that the body of one of my personnel has arrived to be given last respect. As I was present there so I did my duty and paid my tributes in my official capacity.

After many days the son of that police personnel came to meet me all the way from Banguluru yesterday to thank me. In  addition he discussed many issues which were a learning experience to me and which as a leader I must know. I won't discuss them here but the point I want to make is that even our small gestures are observes very closely by all. There is always a need to empathise and correlate with the people and situation. These little gestures goes a long way in making or breaking your image. 

Home for homeless and run away children

Venture outside your comfort zone and be the legend!

Problem with most of us is that we don't wish to leave our comfort zone because of insecurity. History has many examples of those who ventured in the dark and became legends.

Salute to all the heroes who laid their lives while fighting the enemy on 26/11/2008 in Mumbai. Nation first is the message they have given to us all.

Massive awareness and proper security measures can help saving many lives in Mumbai!

Happy life

Don't let the little child die inside you, infect nurture it to have an exciting life!

Another Stampede, this time at Patna Gandhi Maidan

on 3rd of October 2014: 33 people killed and 29 injured during Dussera celebrations at Gandhi Maidan, Patna:

 Why is this happening again and again in India?

I believe the place was not properly barricaded and the arrangement of public announcement was not proper. There should be proper entry and exit and the capacity of the place should be measured well in advance to allow the crowd. It is said that the lighting was not proper this is also serious, why was it so? 
How long such kind of incidents will be allowed to happen and we will keep on losing lives this way. Such kind of gatherings should be supervised properly and all the departments involved should take up their responsibility properly. The only way to contain rumours is to have proper public address system and proper intelligence gathering. There should be volunteer’s along with the police to guide people properly. In such kind of gatherings many people lost temporarily and it also leads to anxiety. There should be proper arrangement of alternate mode of electricity in case of power failure.
This is high time that we realize all this.
Such events portray a very bad picture of our country and lack of coordination amongst various agencies in organizing such big events. The responsibility should be fixed and there should be an apex body to deal with such gatherings. Today, world over many gadgets are being used to deal with huge crowds and the same should be used in India also.

Think for a while

Give it a thought and check whether you give time to yourself. This is important to reinvent and rejuvenate self. Don't just live but lead your life and make maximum out of it.
