IGNORANT AND HELPLESS

How unfortunate are we read people? Those of us who have done PG's and also many others who are working for handsome salaries at multi - national companies. We call ourselves as qualified citizens of this country and we do nothing for it.

I recently went to the close by market by walk after a week's gap. I was shocked to see that a tavern shop was opened on the Nizampet road, Kukatpally Housing Board, Hyderabad. What suddenly striked me is that there are two schools within a kilometer vicinity. Every morning and evening we see kids going to school and coming back from school. The Nizampet road is so busy in the evening with many ladies and young girls coming back from work and colleges. There are many others who come on this road continously for shopping daily needs.

I wonder who has given the permission to open the tavern when there are two schools close by. Now what is bothering me is I even don't know where to lodge a complain against it. I am ignorant.

I recently thought of enquiring someone about it and so sought number of a journalist I know. The ladies in my family heard about what I want to do. As usual like how it happens they said me to keep away from it as they say high recommendations are involved in such issues and we may face with problems. I argued a bit to tell them tomorrow we and the kids surrounding may face problem. the attitude is we should be within our care and those who are facing problems let them face. I am helpless.

This issue is somehow pinching my heart that although we are all educated and call ourselves as citizens of India we are ignorant and helpless to do anything for our country. Today's population is using such reasons for migration to foreign countries. I think many of us are thinking how to help and how to help but just that we don't bring our mind into action.

NEW DISCOVERY

I today discovered a new news today. I discovered that late chief minister Dr. Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy and me share the birthday on the same day. My birthday is being celebrated indirectly by all the Congress party members in Andhra Pradesh. Nice feeling, isn't it?. I am happy to know that I share birthday with a celebrity.

TOTALLY BUSY

I think this is how I can define my situation; "totally busy". Hmm.....when at Australia I really didn't understand how to pass on my time and now I don't find any time to pass. I feel the time is running. Recently there was a small ceremony at our home so I was very busy along with my MIL cleaning the home. Now the ceremony is over a week back and I again busy cleaning home now.

The good news of this period is dad joined into a job at L & T IDPL. The bad news is he have to leave his business. One side I am happy that now he can rest a bit (although rest is word which is not there in dad's dictionary) and on the otherside I am sad that he have to leave something which he has worked so hard for. Well but still we are happy that dad has joined into a good job and also into such responsiblities which I feel he would enjoy a lot.

Rajesh is working very hard these days to improve his knowledge technically and also he is working on his linguistic skills. Kishore is also fine and is too busy with his job.

There are so many events and ceremonies lined up that we are everyday making travel plans, shopping plans and plans about which dress to wear when. Things are going on good. But I am feeling bad sometimes that I am able to spend much time for myself. I think I should start with some serious things which will help me develop.

One way I am developing is that my cooking has improved a lot. Also these days I am learning a lot from my father-in-law. I am listening to him for some knowledge sharing. But I think that is still not enough I really have to start spening time for myself. I feel now that I realised this I will work hard to develop my self individually.
