My New Year Resolution

I, Suresh Gupta, a proud citizen of India, adopt the following as my New Year resolution:
 That I shall work for continual improvement of day-to-day life of Indian citizens.

That I do not have any copyright on this manifesto and all Indians are welcome to adopt it in full or part as their manifesto.

People and God

God created people and was proud of His creation. He asked them to love each other and sent them in this world. People discarded Him and His advice. Then created their own Gods suiting to their needs and conveniences. Gave different names to their Gods and started fighting with each other in the name of their respective Gods. The creator God became disappointed in His most loved creation. He wondered who taught people hate, He had created only Love.

Feed the world

Following message was posted by Abdullah Fathyn on his blog - Islam - Shows Us The Straight Path - http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28885942&postID=115150241757673065

"It is very common that friends calling to invite us for a dinner or a lunch and I see thats as a good thing and will sure will buildup the relationship. Irrespective of the religion, each say their prayers before the start of each meal. Indeed that is another very good thing. I just wonder how many of us would think of the number of people starving people in the world, while we say the prayers before our meals. One might not imagine, yet there are millions starving and each minutes several die due to hunger, most of them are small children. We all are Humans and we can help people in various ways. It will be very difficult for us to go and help them. Yet we can help. We may buy a lot of fruits and vegetables when we go to the market. How many fruits go bad? How much food we throw to the dustbins each day? How many of us get health problems due to excessive eating? How many of us spend a lot of money on diet programs?

Lets us think for a while. Why not we eat less and be fit. We can donate monthly US$30.00 (Rs1,350/-) only, and make sure that we (each and everyone) are feeding a family of FOUR for one whole month. Yes! for one whole month. Anyone of us will spend triple that amounts on a monthly basis on our enjoyment.

Yes! You are thinking the right way! Lets donate!

How can you donate and who are you going to handover the money to feed the family of four. You are going to handover the money to UN WORLD FOOD PROGRAMME.

Take your first step and click "WANT TO DONATE" to start feeding a family of four. Surely what you give will be returned to you in any form you wishes.

Isn't it disturbing to see these statistics?

24,000 Humans die of Hunger EACH DAY & 800 MILLION go bed in hunger

72 MILLION was fed by the World Food Programme - Lets increase this figure to reduce the hunger and death.

Tell you friends too"

Pope, you lost my respect

I am a religious person. My religion teaches me to respect all religions. As such, respect for leaders and followers of various religions becomes a natural trait for me. But there are occasions when some such religious leaders say or act in a negative manner that erodes my respect for them. Your recent outburst against my country, my religion and my people has put you in the list of such religious leaders who have lost my respect. It may not be a big deal for you but Mr. Pope there is now at least one person in this world who does not respect you. It does not mean that I hate you. I love all and hate none. I love you as a human being but as a leader of your religion you cease to command any respect from another human being.

I am not going to argue with you what you think and what you have said. I reject everything you said about my country, my religion and my people. Your remarks are irrelevant and only expose your ignorance about Indian traditions and laws. Freedom of religion does not mean conversions by coercion and allurements. Anybody indulging in such acts is committing an ungodly act.

Manifesto of love

God has sent us in this world to love. By loving others we pray God and reach Him. Each person should adopt a personal manifesto of love. I am drafting a manifesto of love which I will adopt. You can also adopt it as it is or with any modification you feel necessary. Put then your manifesto in practice, continuously monitor its progress in your life and take necessary corrective actions where you feel you are deviating from your choosen path.

A failed state in India's neighbourhood

A disturbing news - Pakistan stars in top 10 of failed states' list. To realize its implications one has to understand what is a failed state. A failed state is one in which the government does not have effective control of its territory, is not perceived as legitimate by a significant portion of its population, and does not provide domestic security or basic public services to its citizens. Twelve indicators to measure failure include criminalization or delegitimization of the state, security apparatus as "state within a state", rise of factionalized elites, intervention of other states or external actors, legacy of vengeance-seeking group grievance, chronic and sustained human flight, and uneven economoic development. Pakistan scores heavily in all categories to chalk up a scary total of 103.1 out of 120. Such a state in India's neighbourhood is a cause of great concern.

India has been rated as most stable country in the neighbourhood with a score of 70.4, well ahead of even China, which is ranked 57th with 82.5. GOI and people of India can be proud of India's better track record, but we should not be complacent as many indicators in India are showing disturbibg trends. If not arrested these may go out of control and India will start scoring heavily.

If we analyze the reasons of Pakistan failing we find that major credit goes to hate for India, Indians and its progress. Pakistan was carved out of united India on the basis of hate and in last more than a decade this hate has multiplied. Pakistan has limited resources, which can either be used for development or creating distubances in neighbouring India. Pkaistan has choosen the later and emerged as a failed state. It is time that Pakistan Government, its secirity forces, its intelligence agencies, its administrators and of course the people understand that hate pays no dividends. It only creates problems for others and for self. Stop hate and give love a chance.

Hate claims a young life

Pramod Mahajan has passed away. He fought for his life for many days but hate claimed its victim. I am surprised at the intensity of hate which drives an younger brother to fire at his elder brother with the intention to kill him. Fourty Six years is a very young age for an active person to go and it is extremely sad that he has to go in this manner.

May God give peace to the departed soul and strength to his family and wellwishers at this hour of extreme grief. May God also grant wisdom to His children all over the world to love and not hate.

Hate takes another life

Pramod Mahajan passed away. Another life taken away by hate. A brother hates his brother so intensely that he goes and fires at him to kill. What did he get by killing his elder brother? He will be punished by the law of the land. But he is also done a crime aganst God, by hating and killing his brother. People read Ramayana and cry but don't learn from the characters of Lakshman and Bharat. I pray to God to grant peace to the departed soul and strength to his family and wellwishers to bear this irrapable loss. May God also grant wisdom to His children so that they discard hate and love each other.

Don't spread hate!!

It has become a part of politicians' nature to create hate amongst people. Their natural thinking, speech and actions are governed by this hate. In this hate spread syndrome these politicians are joined by some religious leaders, social activists and self-declared secularists.

There are some who hate other communities. There are some who feed on this hate. There are some who create doubt in peoples' mind that some other people hate them. One thing is common in all of them that they do it to gain support of their target section of the society. They are not interested in the welfare of this section of people but their own survival. Under a negative mindset these hate spreaders think that this is the easiest way to gain support of the people.

These hate spreaders are enemies of humanity. They are criminals in the eyes of God. Friends, let us not encourage these people. Isolate them. We are humans, the most prized creation of God. Let us protect ourselves from these shaitans who are spreading hate in the guise of human beings.

SPREAD LOVE AND ONLY LOVE. HATE IS UN-GODLY.

Killing in the name of Allah!!

Killing of the Indian Engineer by taliban is a crime against humanity. It has hurt me. My heart goes out to his family. May God give strength to his wifw, his children and relatives and friends to bear this irreparable loss. I pray to God to grant peace to the departed soul.

These taliban criminals are not humans. They are shaitan in the guise of humans. They worship shaitan in the guise of Allah. Allah will treat them as His enemies and will throw them in the fire of hell on the day og judgement. No allah, no God, or call Him by any name can be happy with killing of innocent humans. Only shaitan can be happy with these killings.

All humans should unite against these shaitans and rid this earth of these killers.

Love all, hate none

God has many names. Love is one such name. When we love others we love God.
Hate is an aberration. Don't fall for it. God has not created hate. When we hate others we hate God. Do you want to hate God?
Or you want to love God.
Choice is yours.
