I just came across this data, while surfing, that Indian 11th 5 year plan, has a large amount of data, cut, copy and paste from the first one. I really wonder if laying 5 year plans for a country is going to help (it definitely will, but is there a better alternative), for, when I have been for innumerous talks, and when i questioned people as to their plans are the next 5 years,or just say for the next 3 years, More than 99% of them sit blank.
My dear friends, entire youth fraternity in colleges of this century, is not having a plan of action for themself for the next 5 years, what do we speak about having a 5year plan for the country. I do not say, 5 year plan for a country should not be there. It does help infrastructure, technology and upliftment of places and people. But, more importantly, my stress is on the fact that, if there is 35% youth (100% of future of our country) population in our country,and if they have a plan of action, with each one deciding plan of action for their studies sector, profession sector, contribution to society sector, charity sector etc. Trust me! its not my intuition alone that speaks at this moment, but logical thought process is also uniting with this thought, that our country will develop much sooner and be much more organised in every sense.
I totally agree, and I am not a paranoid who says 5 year exact plan is easy to layout. But lets atleast set it for the next couple of years. We stop planning, because of the no. of failures of our plans we would have gone through during our school days in putting down our time tables and not being able to keep up to it. Lets resolve atleast at this point, that we (the readers of this blog and people who will get to know about this through you as you would promote this to them) shall have a plan of action for different sectors and stick to it, atleast for the next two years.
Majority Youth of india is totally going random. Most youth have this answer when i ask them : "So what are you planning for future?". The answer is :"I am yet to plan". or "I am not sure". Or "let me see". or "I have still not given a thought". My dear friend you are already 20-25 years old and you have still not given a thought. Kudos to people who have an action plan. But others, its time to open your eyes. Just see the youth of the countries of the east. They think for their future beforehand, when they are in their school, and that is why they are much progressed and developed than us. Think.........
My simplest statement/slogan/quote that would sum up everything -
"If the people of country have a plan for the next 5 years, country is planned for next 5 years". Any other plan is going to be a bonus.
And if we plan and think properly for our future, then it will be much easy to handle the problems that will come in our way. This will also make our life more easy and happy. So Just try to plan for the future from today only. Make a 5 or say 3 year plan for yourself.

Life after school and college days
Today, when I was coming in front of my old school, where there was the "Result declaration day" today. On seeing this, my mind went back to my old days when we used to be very happy and tense also on the days of our final result daclaration. Tension of marks got and excitement of promotion to the new class.
For many college students, graduation and thereafter is the worst time of your twenties. You trade late night parties for early morning commutes and mom and dad’s monthly allowance is, well, gone. But growing up doesn’t have to be miserable and mundane; it can actually be rewarding and fun. Nine long years have passed since I have left the school, but it seems to be just of yesterday. I also have gone through this time of my life where everything I used to do or try becomes very difficult for me. Sometimes life tests us, our confidence and ability. This is the time of our life when we have to give these tests to gain confidence in life. And the result of these tests which life takes, gives us the oppurtunity to get the next promotion in life to the next level.
But after this great phase of college also goes by and after that the busy schedule of college timings, class works, exams and results is no more. Spending most of the time with parents, new releases, late night roaming, computer games, parties, and sports channels make the daily routine. This leisure reminds me of “An idle man’s mind is a devil’s workshop”. Anything not like devil and Devine, but an idle brain makes ourselves get rejuvenated and brings our hidden thoughts and interests into light. Only when the mind is still and there is no anticipation creation comes. As long as you are looking forward to an experience, you are pursuing an achievement.
If we look around, and search for our old collegues and friends,the city seems deserted of them as they are wandering of obvious reasons. Most of them have already joined, many are in a vacation, and some are waiting for the call from the company and to my sorrow few are still searching and they were in a hunt.” A hunt for a purpose, A hunt for knowledge, A hunt for the stomach, A hunt for a career and a hunt for a life”. At times my inner voices used to ask me “Had I become lonely and alone?”. With a bit of pain I answer by saying that my days were transformed from my long chats to limited, my friendly touches to mystic imaginations, my distant walks to a simple exercise, my longest rides to a few kilometers, my admission name into the alumina list and my text books to home decorators…………
A small sort of pain and unhappiness rouses in my humble heart after thinking all these things but it still could not prevent me from doing so. Mean while a phone call from a benevolent friend, SMS saying “I MISS U A LOT ” from a classmate, an E-MAIL from a much waited friend,a different news from the college ………makes things vivacious and lively and put me back into elegant school/college life.
Spending days with all these vulnerable memories and hoping for a bright future ahead with my new job……………. I put my hand on my naïve cheeks looking into the galaxy starting my imagination “WOW!!!!!!! HOW NICE THE COMING DAYS GONNA BE………..”

My feeling for the friends
Most people walk in and out of our life. But only True friends leave footprints in our heart.
Whether we realize it or not, everyone we know is very special to us.
When we look back on our younger years, we will remember the people who went to with us, the people who made us laugh, the people who hung out with us when nobody else would, and the people who made our lives much better simply by being a part of it.
There may be somebody who is thinking about you RIGHT NOW and wishing that you were around. That's the wonderful thing about friendship-you always feel loved and cared about.
The most important thing to remember is... Always appreciate the friends that you have.
A fight may come and go very easily, but a friendship could last forever.
For every second spent in anger, a minute of happiness is wasted.
There are many people who comes in our entire life, but the one that left their footprints in our minds and hearts are the very special one.
They gave us some reason to laugh, cry, joy, and happiness. Friends are the only one whom we can share everything, as everything is not possible to share with our family also, but it can be done with the true friends, because they can read our minds and give us good decision in our life.
Childhood friends are forever! Examples of such friendships are galore where a childhood friend has forsaken everything for his friend. Such friendships never blossom as we mature and grow old. The friendship that develops between two friends in school or through living in the same locality, often goes on to become everlasting and is never broken by any outside force. I am still in touch with my childhood friend from school and he is like a pillar of support to me. The bond that forms between two childhood friends is unbreakable. Such friendships are intuitive, where one friend understands the mind of the other.
Arrording to Lord Buddha on friendship, "A true friend helps us when we're in need. They protect us. A good friend is a refuge in life. A friend who is constantly there no matter we're facing happiness or sorrow or trouble in our lives. We share secrets in friendship and the friend will not betray our secrets - in fact, good friends warn us when we're treading on dangerous roads. This sort of a friend is a gift."
So, always trust your friend and never forget them as they are the one who will always be by your side till the entire life.

Ego Kills Love - So be a Egokiller
Ego Kills Love! Lets kill the EGO before it kills Love...!!!
A masterpiece story I came across, For those of you, who have already read this one, I am sure you will agree with me, that its worth reinforcing a thousand times. Its the story about the hypothetical island that existed, which was home for all different feelings that exist on the face of the earth today. Let me start in a classical story telling way "Once upon a time....
Once upon a time..., there was an island called FEELINGS ISLAND, which was home to all types of feelings. Joy, Love, Ego, care, Shame, Hatred, Magnanimity, generosity, kindness, shyness, audacity, disgust, frustration, jealousy, atheism etc. All the feelings we can think of. Now, staying together on the same island, they had a great time with each other. Each feeling played its role in an indefatigably glib manner, never drifting from its own role.
It was just another pleasant morning sunrise that this island saw, when 'jealousy' was the first one to get ready, as it is jealous of everybody else, so wants to be first at everything. 'Care' was taking care of everything and everybody. 'Love' was loving everybody and spreading smiles. 'Hatred' was abusing everybody and hating everybody for unique reasons. 'Ego' was sitting in one corner not mingling with anybody, was in its own world, for it felt it was better than everybody else. Activity was normal as everyday, Until 'panic' alarmed everybody by jumping around the entire island, and screaming - "Tsunami" " Tsunami" ... !!!
Love and Care took notice of this and immediately arranged for boats to travel to the next island. They sent everybody on them. Jealousy was the first one to get in, while hatred was still hating this happening. But things went on, everybody was busy saving their lives, While love and care were sending everybody.
What nobody took notice, but 'love' did take notice, was someone, sitting in one corner, not sitting into any of the boats. 'Love' reached out to him, to see who he was, it was 'EGO'. 'Love' said, "my dear friend come with me, else you will die here." After all, it was 'ego'. It kept refusing, while love kept forcing him to come along. 'Ego' kept rejecting.
'Care' tied the boat to the shore, waiting for these two to come. Unfortunately, 'careless' was on the same boat, it broke the string, that tied the boat to the shore. 'Love' did not get scared, it still loved careless, while it kept forcing the 'ego' to still come along.
The last boat left from there, Tsunami arrived, taking away the two lives on the Island.
MORAL OF THE STORY: "EGO" always drowns, but don’t forget it takes LOVE alongwith it. Wherever 'EGO' exists Love always gets killed.
I have personnally seen many people who have put their life and carreer in a great difficulty because of their ego. No people even wants to talk to them. There are very few people in this earth who submerged their ego and listen to them. Every day we come across many people who have this tendency. They this that they are the superior and right, But they don't know that they are not loved by anyone by heart.
So my dear friends, lets submerge our ego, as far as possible and start enjoying a much better life. For, ego kills love along with itself. Every relation starts looking more beautiful, when EGO gets eliminated. Let’s make efforts to kill that element in us.
I hope you found this blog helpful, promote it to all your friends, I am sure its going to eliminate a lot of ego from this beautiful planet earth.
EGO - Eliminates Growing Opportunities.
LOVE - Life Opens Various Exceptions. (Exceptionally amazing things start happening)
