Lets Fight Poverty and Hunger

I am sorry if this page has taken a long time to load. Anyways how much time did it take…. Ten Seconds (BroadBand), Twenty Seconds (Dialup) or Fifty Seconds (Mobile).
Let’s take average Thirty (30) Seconds. Why I am so concerned with this time is that within this time (30 Sec) SIX CHILDREN HAVE DIED DUE TO HUNGER!!

Yes, according to the UN Child Report, One Child Dies in Every 5 Second due to Hunger. Isn’t it horrifying, shocking, pathetic, sorrowful and ghastly? I don’t know about you, but to me, this fact brings, Anger, Shock, Fear, and Tears. Honestly ask yourself did you ever think of such poor people who strive hard to earn a square meal.
I don’t know if you have met the poorest people of this world. For your kind information, the people you see on the roads, beggars, hawkers, amateur thieves and slum dwellers…they are not the one of whom I am talking about.

I am talking about homeless, jobless, illiterate and penniless people. Specially the children as they have absolutely no means to subsist. They just die due to hunger i.e. no food to eat. Medical encyclopedia says it is sufficient for a middle aged man to survive of 5 pieces of bread daily. Now tell me, how pathetic it is. We must have thrown so many pieces of bread unknowingly just because our appetite was satisfied.

Do you know that more than 50 % of children worldwide are undernourished? While 25% are obese. Why is this chilling imbalance? So many kids just don’t have enough food to survive. Can we do some thing about this? or Have we done some thing about this? NO. Now a argument will pop-up in your mind and you will say What alone can you do or Its not under your capability or Its policy makers headache (or Governments), not yours…….
I will tell you what alone you can do. This is another plaque which has clutched our society. We tend to neglect the FORCE OF ONE, because we are always taught of STRENGTH OF UNITY.

Before I tell you what and how you can help reduce hunger and poverty, I want to share some personal anecdote. When people read my profile in Orkut they come across my aim which reads as 1. To Eradicate World Poverty and Hunger (There are 2 more). They give strange replies and comment. Some think I’m nuts, some think its slouch (lie to get attention) and some empathy on me, but none are stirred or inspired. I had always waited for scraps like.. Come on Aaditya lets do it or Ok let me help you or I share the same aim as yours.

Now let me tell you what at the least you can do. Next time you leave some food on plate think twice. It is not to sympathize with those who do not get to eat but it has an Economical Effect.
Let me explain. If you take more but eat less i.e. you waste. It means you buy more than what you need. Thus more demand with same supply causes price to sore up. It is called Demand and Supply Rule. When price increase the poor can’t afford it. The increase may be just few % or few rupees but for those who earn just under Rs 100 (Standard Poverty Line Parameter) few rupees makes whole lot of a difference. In return if you buy just what you need. That is the commodity is surplus in the market which causes the price to plunge making it more affordable.

I know, again you may be thinking; just by your taking the measures what difference will it make. Now you are neglecting the STRENGTH OF UNITY. Even if you buy 1 kg Dosai mau or Rice or wheat less per week multiply it with just 20 Crore (One Fifth of India’s Population) and now you see. The surplus will cause the price to decrease at least by 25%. Still if you are not impressed or if you didn’t understand the Maths leave it. Just contribute.

I hope hence forth you all people (who ever reads this) will make effort to reduce hunger and poverty. If you can come forward with better ideas do let me know as it would help me achieve my aim. Don’t wait for others to start. You lead others.

Last fact to just to keep you enthralled. Average reading speed is 150 words per minute. Till here its 755 words. So it must have taken you 5.03 minutes. By this time 60 children have died due to lack of bread or dosai or idli or chapatti or pasta or momo which you will be leaving wasted in your plate tonight.

Impossible… Only until its Possible

I don’t know what is with this word IMPOSSIBLE.
Whenever anyone utters this word in front of me…I feel some kind of restlessness.
Like if someone says that this task is impossible to do or anything like that, I feel some kind of Adrenaline Rush, which guys generally get while bunging jumping or speed riding. Suddenly I start doing soliloquy and question pops up, what if I can do this.
At that moment I don’t think about the problem. Nor the logics against the favor. Then I don’t see the problem or the answer or the solution or the task. Only thing which resonates is what if I can do this.

My belief is that Every Single Thing Possible Today Was Once Impossible
Does that mean that everything which is Impossible Today Will Be Possible Tomorrow???

Answer is I don’t know and no one knows. That is why it is impossible Today.

Do you think Neanderthal Men (Early Primitive Human Form) thought Flying or Virtual Meeting or even Telephone as Possible..? NO.

My aim writing this article is to make you believe that what you may be dreaming of, what ever it may be, just one thing is Truth that it is Not Impossible. Fact may be that you don’t see how it is possible today but if you work on it, if you go to the core of making it into reality; certainly it will be Possible One Day. But there a problem exists.
Though you may conceive it Possible but you will find most of the people on the other side of the bridge. They don’t see it. In fact they don’t want to see it. They will also make you believe it as impossible. That is the point where we lost Hundreds of Newtons and Einsteins and Edisons and Wright Brothers.

Few people have the courage to stand upto their ideas and dreams however Impossible it may seem to others. These people understand and fight and see the silver lining on the Cloud…..

That is what is needed, ability to trust yourself when everyone around doubts you.
Strong determination, courage and passion towards your dream will certainly guide you towards success and you will see an impossible happening. Impossible becomes possible.

At the last I would like to say only one thing that the word IMPOSSIBLE ITSELF READS I—M--POSSIBLE.
