No Complains! Solutions!

“We live in one of the worst countries of the world, where nothing is right”- I often hear people say this. Problems like Population, corruption and poverty have made our lives difficult. And we can’t just stop complaining about it.

But what do we do about it, we were born in this country by default, we were not allowed to choose countries as we were not allowed to choose the family in which we were born. We are talking about problems all the time, are we doing enough to find a solution to just one bad thing around us.

I am amazed at the nonsense around, cricket is a very good game and we in India are crazy about the game. I seriously have no problem with the game and that people in our country love cricket. But yes I have a severe problem with the commercialisation of the game and people going crazy about it. The recent world cup aroused such a lot of fellow feeling in the country! People came out on the streets and celebrated together. How I wish people get together for several other causes that would make this place a better place.

Frustrations do happen, but how many who are frustrated actually think about doing something. Agreed we are very busy, but if there is will there definitely a way.

I have spoken to so many educated people, many being from within my close associates, who do not even understand what I do. I have been struggling for almost a decade. The only thing they understand is NGOs are corrupt and they siphon funds in the name of social work or social work is just donating old clothes or running and orphanage which is almost business. The old clothes are sold and orphanages make money. How many orphanages or how many NGOs have you visited is my question to them. You think you are the most sensible citizens of this country. I am not , but nor are you! And I consider you as blunt headed as any other person in this country whom you consider blunt headed.

Increase your knowledge about the development sector! Get a hang of what is happening around. To start with read about this NGO called SEARCH (www.searchgadchiroli.org ) in the Gadchiroli district of Maharashtra! It might give you a better sense and you might stop complaining for some time.
