Mahuli - 2009

We did this trek on 5 Sep 2009

Why be content?

I have seen many people especially us, Indians who tend to take things for granted or rather too lightly...Most of the times the people are just satisfied with what they have got.They are just simply content with life.
"Why are people so content?",I ask myself.Sometimes I myself do feel content. But still I am trying to seek the reason..
Are we afraid or tired to ask for more?Have we forgotten to fight?
I have tried many times to fight and ask.But most of the times I have found myself waging a lone battle...
I sometimes think, isn't there anyone who feels that we need to wake up and ask for what is our right and what is our need?
I was traveling in a public transport once and as usual it was packed with people like an ant-hole.
I requested one gentleman to vacate the seat where he was seated as it was a seat reserved for ladies.But Mr. Gentleman plainly refused to give up his seat...
I asked the conductor for help but it was in vain..I looked at few ladies around but they too were looking at me as if I had made a mistake of asking for a seat which probably Mr. gentleman seemed to be owning...

Its so sad to see a human being having no feeling for another human being...
I wish people wake-up and make this world a better place to live...
I wish people stop being content....because being content will only stop growth of us as a human being and also as a nation...

The play of supply and demand

We have studied how supply controls the demand and how prices are influenced by both supply and demand. But can we educate masses to properly regulate their demands so that the prices can then be fairly stable.

we can work more efficiently if we are united and the feeling of united comes when there is common goals. Common goals are generally the over all fear with nobody having any specially escape route. Like what happens when there is any natural calamity or nations in war. There situations unit people more. And if the communication is good then a common goal, escape plan can be planned. But seeing things on micro level, suppose in a building with 50 families, if we tell people to use the water adequately as chances of water scarcity is there today. There family will actually start filling more water. And the water would actually be used up more early as predicted. Same logic can be applied to food grains or petrol or anything.

why do we behave in exactly opposite way? When a person is shy he behaves in different way which actually attracts more attention. The very action made to avoid a situation is actually triggered by that action. If we understand all this, I think to some extent things can be easier.
