9 Things that will Disappear in our Lifetime...

Whether these changes are good or bad depends in part on how we adapt to them. But, ready or not, here they come.

---

1. The Post Office
Get ready to imagine a world without the post office. They are so deeply in financial trouble that there is probably no way to sustain it long term. Email, Fed Ex, and UPS have just about wiped out the minimum revenue needed to keep the post office alive. Most of your mail every day is junk mail and bills.

2. The Cheque
Britain is already laying the groundwork to do away with cheque by 2018. It costs the financial system billions of dollars a year to process cheques. Plastic cards and online transactions will lead to the eventual demise of the cheque. This plays right into the death of the post office. If you never paid your bills by mail and never received them by mail, the post office would absolutely go out of business.

3. The Newspaper 
The younger generation simply doesn't read the newspaper. They certainly don't subscribe to a daily delivered print edition. That may go the way of the milkman and the laundry man. As for reading the paper online, get ready to pay for it. The rise in mobile Internet devices and e-readers has caused all the newspaper and magazine publishers to form an alliance. They have met with Apple, Amazon, and the major cell phone companies to develop a model for paid subscription services.

4. The Book 
You say you will never give up the physical book that you hold in your hand and turn the literal pages. I said the same thing about downloading music from iTunes. I wanted my hard copy CD. But I quickly changed my mind when I discovered that I could get albums for half the price without ever leaving home to get the latest music. The same thing will happen with books. You can browse a bookstore online and even read a preview chapter before you buy. And the price is less than half that of a real book. And think of the convenience! Once you start flicking your fingers on the screen instead of the book, you find that you are lost in the story, can't wait to see what happens next, and you forget that you're holding a gadget instead of a book.

5. The Land Line Telephone 
Unless you have a large family and make a lot of local calls, you don't need it anymore. Most people keep it simply because they've always had it. But you are paying double charges for that extra service. All the cell phone companies will let you call customers using the same cell provider for no charge against your minutes

6. Music 
This is one of the saddest parts of the change story. The music industry is dying a slow death. Not just because of illegal downloading.. It's the lack of innovative new music being given a chance to get to the people who would like to hear it. Greed and corruption is the problem. The record labels and the radio conglomerates are simply self-destructing. Over 40% of the music purchased today is "catalogue items," meaning traditional music that the public is familiar with. Older established artists. This is also true on the live concert circuit. To explore this fascinating and disturbing topic further, check out the book, "Appetite for Self-Destruction" by Steve Knopper, and the video documentary, "Before the Music Dies."

7. Television 
Revenues to the networks are down dramatically. Not just because of the economy. People are watching TV and movies streamed from their computers. And they're playing games and doing lots of other things that take up the time that used to be spent watching TV. Prime time shows have degenerated down to lower than the lowest common denominator. Cable rates are skyrocketing and commercials run about every 4 minutes and 30 seconds. I say good riddance to most of it. It's time for the cable companies to be put out of our misery. Let the people choose what they want to watch online and through Netflix.

8. The "Things" That You Own 
Many of the very possessions that we used to own are still in our lives, but we may not actually own them in the future. They may simply reside in "the cloud." Today your computer has a hard drive and you store your pictures, music, movies, and documents. Your software is on a CD or DVD, and you can always re-install it if need be. But all of that is changing. Apple, Microsoft, and Google are all finishing up their latest "cloud services." That means that when you turn on a computer, the Internet will be built into the operating system. So, Windows, Google, and the Mac OS will be tied straight into the Internet. If you click an icon, it will open something in the Internet cloud. If you save something, it will be saved to the cloud. And you may pay a monthly subscription fee to the cloud provider. In this virtual world, you can access your music or your books, or your whatever from any laptop or handheld device. That's the good news. But, will you actually own any of this "stuff" or will it all be able to disappear at any moment in a big "Poof?" Will most of the things in our lives be disposable and whimsical? It makes you want to run to the closet and pull out that photo album, grab a book from the shelf, or open up a CD case and pull out the insert.

9. Privacy 
If there ever was a concept that we can look back on nostalgically, it would be privacy. That's gone. It's been gone for a long time anyway. There are cameras on the street, in most of the buildings, and even built into your computer and cell phone. But you can be sure that 24/7, "They" know who you are and where you are, right down to the GPS coordinates, and the Google Street View. If you buy something, your habit is put into a zillion profiles, and your ads will change to reflect those habits. "They" will try to get you to buy something else. Again and again. 
All we will have left that can't be changed are "Memories".

That's Love...!!!

 That's Love...!!!

That's Love!

A group of professional people posed this question
to a group of four-through eight-year-olds,
 "What does love mean?"

The answers they got were broader and deeper
than anyone could have imagined. See what you think:

------
"Love is that first feeling you feel before
all the bad stuff gets in the way."

"When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend
over and paint her toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it
for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too.
That's love."        


"Love is when someone hurts you. And you get so mad
but you don't yell at them because you know it
would hurt their feelings."

"Love is what makes you smile when you're tired."

"Love is when my Mommy makes coffee for my
daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him,
to make sure the taste is OK."

"If you want to learn to love better, 
you should start with a friend who
you hate."


"When you tell someone something bad about 
yourself and you're scared they won't love you anymore. 
But then you get surprised because not only do
they still love you, they love you even more."


"Love is when you tell a guy you like 
his shirt, then he wears it everyday."

"My mommy loves me more than anybody. You don't see 
anyone else kissing me to sleep at night."

"Love is when Mommy gives daddy the best piece of chicken."

"Love is when Mommy sees daddy smelly and sweaty and
still says he is handsomer than any hero."

"Love is when your puppy licks your face even after
you left him alone all day."

"I know my older sister loves me because 
she gives me all her old clothes
and has to go out and buy new ones."

"I let my big sister pick on me because my Mom 
says she only picks on me because she loves me. 
So I pick on my baby sister because I love her." 

विद्यनिकेतन चॅप्टर आणि कॉनफिडरेशन

 आपल्या पाचही विद्यानिकेतनातील मुले भारतातल्या अनेक शहरात विखुरलेले आहेत तर काही आपापल्या गावाजवळ किंवा गावात वा जिल्ह्यात काम करत आहेत. काही मुले निरनिराळ्या देशात काम करीत आहेत. एकाच गावात किंवा त्या त्या परिसरात किंवा त्या देशात राहत असुनही त्यांच्या गाठी भेटी होत नसल्याने ओळखी पण होत नाहीत परंतू एकदा की ती व्यक्ती विद्यनिकेतनातून शिकून गेलेली होती असं कळलं, आणि मग ती व्यक्ती कोणत्याही गावातील विद्यानिकेतनातून शिकलेली असो त्यांच्यामध्ये लागलीच प्रेमाचा बंध निर्माण होतो हे मी प्रत्येक्ष अनभवलं आहे. हे तुम्ही पण अनुभवलं असेल याची मला पक्की खात्री आहे. केवळं ते एकत्र येण्याची गरज आहे.
          तर यावरून मला  असं वाटायला लागलं की प्रत्येक शहराचं, त्या त्या परिसराचं किंवा देशाचं  विद्यानिकेतनचं एक, एक  चॅप्टर असावं आणि सर्व चॅप्टर्स मिळून एक कॉनफिडरेशन असावं त्या त्या चॅप्टर्सनी वर्षातून दोनदा वा किमान एकदा तरी गेट-टू-गेदर करावं आणि  कॉनफीडरेशननं वर्षातून एकदा भेटावं. याचा फायदा असा होईल की त्यांच्या कुटुंबांच्या ओळखी होतील, काही मदत लागल्यास ती त्यांना मिळेल, कोणी नवीन ठिकाणी बदलून किंवा नविन नोकरीस आला तर त्याला इन्संट (तात्काळ) मदत मिळू शकेल. विद्यानिकेतनातून  नविनच शिकून आलेले असतील तर त्यांना मार्गदर्शन मिळेल आणि मुख्य म्हणजे परस्परांना आधार वाटेल. याशिवाय बरेच फायदे असतील... कशी वाटते कल्पना?

एक तरी मैत्रीण अशी हवी

एक तरी मैत्रीण अशी हवी"

जरी न बघता पुढे गेलो तरी मागुन आवाज देणारी, 

आपल्यासाठी हसणारीवेळ आलीच तर अश्रूही पुसणारी,

स्वतःच्या घासातला घास आठवणीने काढुन ठेवणारी,

वेळप्रसंगी आपल्या वेड्या मित्राची समजुत काढणारी,

वाकडं पाऊल पडताना मात्र मुस्कटात मारणारी,

... यशाच्या शिखरांवर आपली पाठ थोपटणारी,

सगळ्यांच्या गलक्यात आपणास सैरभैर शोधणारी ,

आपल्या आठवणीनंआपण नसताना व्याकुळ होणारी,

खरंच ! अशी एक तरी जीवा-भावाची"मैत्रीण" ,

हवी जी आपणास मित्र म्हणवणारी.

Touching Story - The doll and white rose

I was walking around in a Target store, when I saw a Cashier hand this little boy some money back. The boy couldn’t have been more than 5 or 6 years old.

The Cashier said, “I’m sorry, but you don’t have enough money to buy this doll.”

Then the little boy turned to the old woman next to him: ”Granny, are you sure I don’t have enough money?” The old lady replied: ”You know that you don’t have enough money to buy this doll, my dear.” Then she asked him to stay there for just 5 minutes while she went to look a round. She left quickly.

The little boy was still holding the doll in his hand. Finally, I walked toward him and I asked him who he wished to give this doll to. It’s the doll that my sister loved most and wanted so much for Christmas. She was sure that Santa Claus would bring it to her. I replied to him that maybe Santa Claus would bring it to her after all, and not to worry.

But he replied to me sadly. “No, Santa Claus can’t bring it to her where she is now. I have to give the doll to my mommy so that she can give it to my sister when she goes there.”

His eyes were so sad while saying this. “My Sister has gone to be with God. Daddy says that Mommy is going to see God very soon too, so I thought that she could take the doll with her to give it to my sister.” My heart nearly stopped. The little boy looked up at me and said: “I told daddy to tell mommy not to go yet. I need her to wait until I come back from the mall.” Then he showed me a very nice photo of him where he was laughing. He then told me “I want mommy to take my picture with her so she won’t forget me.” “I love my mommy and I wish she doesn’t have to leave me, but daddy says that she has to go to be with my little sister.” Then he looked again at the doll with sad eyes, very quietly.

I quickly reached for my wallet and said to the boy. “Suppose we check again, just in case you do have enough money for the doll?” “OK” he said, “I hope I do have enough.” I added some of my money to his without him seeing and we started to count it. There was enough for the doll and even some spare money. The little boy said: “Thank you God for giving me enough money!” Then he looked at me and added, “I asked last night before I went to sleep for God to make sure I had enough money to buy this doll, so that mommy could give It to my sister. He heard me!” “I also wanted to have enough money to buy a white rose for my mommy, but I didn’t dare to ask God for too much. But He gave me enough to buy the doll and a white rose.” “My mommy loves white roses.”

A few minutes later, the old lady returned and I left with my basket. I finished my shopping in a totally different state from when I started. I couldn’t get the little boy out of my mind. Then I remembered a local news paper article two days ago, which mentioned a drunk man in a truck, who hit a car occupied by a young woman and a little girl. The little girl died right away, and the mother was left in a critical state. The family had to decide whether to pull the plug on the life-sustaining machine, because the young woman would not be able to recover from the coma. Was this the family of the little boy? Two days after this encounter with the little boy, I read in the news paper that the young woman had passed away. I couldn’t stop myself as I bought a bunch of white roses and I went to the funeral home where the body of the young woman was exposed for people to see and make last wishes before her burial. She was there, in her coffin, holding a beautiful white rose in her hand with the photo of the little boy and the doll placed over her chest. I left the place, teary-eyed, feeling that my life had been changed forever. The love that the little boy had for his mother and his sister is still, to this day, hard to imagine. And in a fraction of a second, a drunk driver had taken all this away from him.

The value of a man or woman resides in what he or she gives, not in what they are capable of receiving…

WhaT "I LOVE YOU" ReaLLy MeaNzz..!!!

Now a days people are so casual in saying "I LOVE YOU" to their partners, that they have forgotten I LOVE YOU' s REAL meaning. Lets try to remind them what that means !

♥ "I love you" means that I accept you for the person that you are and that I do not wish to change you into someone else.♥

♥ It means that I do not expect perfection from you just as you do not expect it from me.♥

♥ It means that I will love you and stand by you, even through the worst of times.♥

♥ It means loving you when you're down not just when you're fun to be with.♥

♥ It means that I know your deepest secrets and do not judge you for them asking in return only that you do not judge me for mine. ♥

♥ It means that I care enough to fight for what we have and that I love enough not to let go. ♥

♥ It means thinking of you, dreaming of you, wanting and needing you constantly, and hoping that you feel the same way for me..♥ ♥ ♥ 

POINT TO THINK AND PONDER !

Patrick French’s recent book, India: A Portrait, offered this startling revelation about the Indian Parliament:

"Every MP in the Lok Sabha under the age of 30 had in effect inherited a seat, and more than two-thirds of the 66 MPs aged 40 or under were HMPS [Hereditary Members of Parliament]. In addition, this new wave of Indian lawmakers would have a decade’s advantage in politics over their peers, since the average MP who had benefited from family politics was almost 10 years younger than those who had arrived with ‘No Significant Family Background’. In the Congress, the situation was yet more extreme: every Congress MP under the age of 35 was an HMP. If the trend continued, it was possible that most members of the Indian Parliament would be there by heredity alone, and the nation would be back to where it had started before the freedom struggle, with rule by a hereditary monarch and assorted Indian princelings."
