Mother's day special....

Mother's day special....

The most beautiful word in any language is mother and its equivalents. Because the word mother not only epitomizes and encapsulates all that’s lovely and beautiful in this world, but also the most divine in the whole universe.  - JSM

Indeed, MOTHER or its equivalents, is the most beautiful word in any language. It carries a lot of emotions and feelings in the heart of everyone in this world and even in the heart of most ruthless individual. Once women give a birth to a child, her role starts as mother, that role will be there forever till she dies. The bond between a child and his or her mother is much stronger than anything in the world. It’s something needs to be experienced and felt and it cannot be expressed in any other format. She is the first person who feels when a child is born inside her body and then she carries her child in her womb for nine months with at most care. It creates a bond that cannot be estimated in any format. That is where the very in-depth emotional attachment comes into the place. 

Children’s are always attached to her or his mother first than his or her father. They express their feeling to mother, this is because mother, a women, is emotionally superior to father, a man. They feel that mother can understand even her or his smallest need. Mother has got a very good listening power which makes all children very comfortable to express their feeling with freedom. Only mother can listen to their stupidity and frustration etc whatever you call it as. 

Mother always there to support you like 24/365 days, they do not expects any feedback or it is called as no salary service.  Once child become an individual, the state where he or she can take his or her own decision, which is marked the end of mother primary role. All mothers will feel the satisfaction of wound up this role well. They start their next duty by offering prayers for child – to keep him or her close to herself, or the lord which she believes. 

That’s our mother, like music and love, there is no language in the world can discriminate this feeling. 

My all wishes to all mothers in the world..

Keep Winning,

Your Madoo.

A new year note...
I was reading a blog regarding the time management which I thought is good to share with you all during the year switch over. It is good to see that we get 86400 seconds (Eighty Six thousand and four hundred) of time credited in to your life every day. But this is like a binary format 0 or 1,  meaning either use it or lose it. It is like a bank account, every day you get 86400 seconds time credited and every night you lose same amount, but while losing you will create the category as a good thing or a bad thing, and whether you have used this amount efficiently?.

Time management is a challenge , which we face consistently at different stages of our lives.

There is a quote “Nobody can manage time. But you can manage those things that take up your time.”

In the same blog there are some interesting points about time.

1. Time is expensive. As a matter of fact, 80 percent of our day is spent on those things or those people that only bring us two percent of our results.
2. Time is perishable. It cannot be saved for later use.
3. Time is measurable. Everybody has the same amount of time…pauper or king. It is not how much time you have; it is how much you use and how you use it.
4. Time is irreplaceable. We never make back time once it is gone.
5. Time is a priority. You have enough time for anything in the world, so long as it ranks high enough among your priorities

Look at the points 3 and 5, haooo it is interesting. But is it practical?!!!!!

Having said that, we are very close to finish our final lap of 2013 marathon run and ready to welcome 2014. It’s also time to think about what we missed, what we achieved and what are our goals for the new year. I would say it’s all number game; and just by using (86400*365) seconds we have to achieve our goals. Interesting calculation!!!. In this number game we should include all stakeholders like family, work, entertainment etc… Think about while spending every seconds!!

I wish you a very happy and prosperous New Year 2014.

Telegram service is no more

Our telegram service comes to an end without even a proper send off. As per the schedule, Sunday July 14th 2013 was the planned date to stop the telegram service in India or last such in the world. But because of the Central BSNL employees strike against not to work on second Saturday, Employees decided to wind up this 163 years old service on Friday. So, if you were among those who sent a telegram between 6 to 7pm on Friday, you were also a part of putting the full stop on a story that started 163 years ago.

On Jun 12, BSNL had announced that it was going to wind up the Telegraphic service because of financial constraints. July 15 was supposed to be the last day for this, but BSNL employees decided to stop the service on Friday. 

News reports that, there was a surge in telegrams in last few days. In a daily average, the Central telegram office sends around 50-60 telegrams.  But soon after the BSNL news came out regarding the disconnection of telegram service, the usage shot up to 150-200 in a day. On Friday, it was 300. 

In India, the first telegraphic communication was transmitted between Alipore and Diamond Harbour, a distance of about 50 km, on November 5, 1850. It would be five years more before the service was opened for the general public. For well over a century, it was the preferred method for announcing births, deaths, emergencies, interview dates and even job joining dates. It took two to three days to arrive, but nothing moved faster in those days.

But our recent technology gear up swallowed this oldest communication in whole and also people were not having enough time to wait for something which takes 3-4days. 

Telegrams reached their peak popularity in the 1920s and 1930s when it was cheaper to send a telegram than placing a long distance telephone call. People would save money by using the word "stop" instead of periods to end sentences because punctuation was extra while the four character word was free.

I rarely remember the word “telegram” in my life, because I never used it to send or receive messages. I was born and brought up in the digital era, so people of my generation have definitely missed this opportunity. But I vaguely remember when I was child, my families and neighborhood people with 40+ or 50+ ages talking about the telegram message which they used to send/receive for various kinds of news. This probably means that current generation has likely grown up in middle-class India without its life being touched by the Ferraris of the snail-mail age. So for current generation, the death news of telegrams will not bring any nostalgic feeling, but just be ordinary news which comes and goes without any hype.

The only opportunities to get to know about these historic services are from some historic movies or reading some historic books. Recently I read a book which actually narrates a real story which happened 50 years back in a small village in kerala, where there was no development. So Books were narrating the usage of historic communication which includes telegrams etc.

But we don’t want to put any tears for the telegram, whose imminent demise in India, following up on similar winding down of the service overseas, represents the inevitable effects of creative destruction triggered by the march of communication technology. The only thing we cannot stop is the advance of communication technology that renders relics obsolete.

But one thing is that "It's amazing it survived this long."

Keep Winning,

Madhu

Nature is reacting…

After reading about the Uttarakhand tragedy, my brothers and sisters cannot even think of the extent of tragedy or destruction that has taken place. But somehow I feel that this is a clear indication that we must consider our environment very carefully, otherwise we can expect these kinds of disasters very frequently from now on. A devastation of this Magnitude will continue to hit us in any form for long period of time. This is a lesson to us to focus on our environment protection and disaster management. 

Considering the rate of consumption of earth today for our daily needs we might require 3 or more earth’s when we reach 2030. Currently we are not in a position to hold these kinds of disaster, but still needs are more. So we should take a step forward to protect our environment at any cost. Responsibility lies in every individual who lives here and also those who want to continue breathing here. 

When I was young, I had enough playground surrounding my house, I was deeply confused which game should I play and where to play? All these kinds of unwanted thinking made my childhood healthier than what our younger generation currently has. My parents used to scold me for one thing, coming late from my favorite playground. I hated it. One of my earliest memories is praying to God that please make me an adult as fast as possible, so that I   can choose what I want. But thinking about today’s world it is something I should not have done. It is always better to be as a child without any responsibility. 

If you take any of India’s states, all are going through very tough situation, either in the form of corruptions or in any other form which keeps bothering people. They cannot be prevented, because our democracy works like this. However what is interesting is, day by day problems are getting accumulated or I don’t know whether hidden problems are coming out. Let us hope for the best.

Now take the case of Uttarakand, it is one of India’s youngest states, but it is going through one of the country’s biggest crises. Utarakkandh has always been sensitive to the vagaries of nature, which cannot be prevented. But what could have been done is the preparation to avoid this kind of devastation. Like Uttarakkandh there are many states which are facing these kinds of nature devastations. But precautions being taken by these states are different, so results are not much worrying.

In Uttarakkandh case, the Government completely failed to control or manages the pilgrims’ inflow which has been increasing in every year by double the amount of previous year count. To accommodate these increasing needs government failed to supply enough infrastructure, so private business people provided or extended the facility by violating the environment laws. This has led to pop up many violated buildings in every corners of Uttarakhand. All these contributed to the death of many people on June 16. Bad thing is State will take another three years to recover from this.  

This is a lesson to all the state governments and also people who are not considering the environment.

Let us pay tribute to all the people who died in this disaster. And also I would like to salute the Indian Army who are volunteering the rescue operation at Uttarakhand.

Keep Winning,
Madoo
